Chapter 79 Ye Xiaotian's Face
When Ye Xiaotian left Sanqing Temple and turned to his residence, it was already dark. Two lanterns were lifted up in front of him. Seeing that he was about to reach his residence, a riot suddenly occurred in front of him. Ye Xiaotian was protected by the central army and was not sure what was happening in front of him. He only noticed that the car stopped, and the guards around quickly moved closer to his car, and spears rushed out, and were on guard.
Hua Yunfei waved his hand hard, and the baffles on all sides of the car sedan fell down. This kind of hardwood was chopped with a sharp axe, and it would not be possible to split it without a dozen seconds. There was no arrow in the world that could penetrate it.
After about a cup of tea, the baffle rose and the convoy continued to move forward. Hua Yunfei entered the car with an extinguished lantern.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiaotian asked calmly. In his opinion, he probably encountered some minor accident on the road. If Zhan Cao and others sent someone to ambush, they would not have resumed their journey so quickly.
Hua Yunfei put the lantern with a hole on the table, flipped his wrist and slapped a glittering flying knife on the table, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Someone just turned off a light with a flying knife. I checked it in front, and there were no ambushes, so I continued to move forward."
Ye Xiaotian didn't listen to him. He had seen a piece of paper wrapped in silk thread on the hilt of the knife. Ye Xiaotian held the flying knife in his hand, looked at the sharp blade, pulled the thread end, opened it in circles, and took off the paper wrapped around the hilt of the knife.
Hua Yunfei looked at Ye Xiaotian in a flash. Ye Xiaotian only glanced at him and then rolled up the paper and said to Hua Yunfei: "Someone warned me, there are only eight words on the paper: Leave Guiyang quickly, and the deep mountains can be safe!"
Hua Yunfei frowned and said, "What does this mean?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "This means that Guiyang is very dangerous. I asked me to leave immediately and hide in the deep mountains and forests, and that would be safe."
Hua Yunfei frowned even more: "Who is sending a letter to warn me, why do you want your elder brother to hide back to the mountains? It seems... he knows his elder brother's true identity."
Ye Xiaotian did not answer. He just picked up the curtain and looked at the vast night outside. The night was dark and he could not see anything, but he seemed to vaguely see a beautiful face staring at him with concern. The ball of paper in Ye Xiaotian's hand was tight enough.
Zhan Ning'er hid in a tree in the forest and looked at it from afar. The convoy stopped for a while, searched around and continued to move forward. However, there were four people in front of him responsible for the exploration, but now it has become eight people.
Zhan Ning'er sighed quietly, slowly raised her head, and looked at the bright moon in the air. The bright light shone endlessly, making her heart a bright light. For a moment, she didn't want to think about anything or take action, and just looked at it in a daze. She hadn't had such a quiet and quiet mentality for a long time.
The Zhan family, Zhang family and Cao family conspired to target Ye Xiaotian. Although she was excluded from the Zhan Mansion, she would not be able to find out any news. She had a premonition that Ye Xiaotian was doomed this time, so she really couldn't sit idly by and struggled for a long time, but finally came.
However, she did not have the courage to see Ye Xiaotian. It was not that she had done something that she had done to be sorry to Ye Xiaotian and had no courage to face him. It was that she came, which meant betrayal of the family and betrayal of her relatives. She did not have the courage to appear next to Ye Xiaotian in such an identity.
It is better not to see each other than to meet. She could not let go of what she should have, so she had to use this method of covering her ears and stealing the bell. She knew that Ye Xiaotian would definitely understand who sent this warning letter to him, and he would not doubt the warning in the letter.
Zhan Ning'er sighed and thought quietly: "I just hope... he can listen to my good advice and retreat to the deep mountains. As long as he enters the mountain, I can't do anything to him, and the revenge between Ye Zhan and his family will be unavailable. Maybe... that is the best ending."
As for her life, she had never thought about it, there was nothing to think about. If the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha could live this life, he would no longer have to struggle with the grievances between his family and Ye Xiaotian, that would have been the happiness she had always dreamed of.

As soon as the convoy returned to his residence, Hua Yunfei hurriedly found Li Qiuchi and told him about the warning on the road. Ye Xiaotian looked like he was not caring, so he had to be careful.
Li Qiuchi was also very nervous when he heard this. He came to see Ye Xiaotian immediately. Ye Xiaotian had already changed into a robe and sat under the lamp. Seeing Li Qiuchi coming in a hurry, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are here to persuade me to go back to Woniuling... No, are you avoiding Dawan Mountain?"
Li Qiuchi said: "Dongweng, who is warning me? What is the letter saying?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Who has warned me? No one has seen it. However, at this time, only one person can warn me."
Li Qiuchi blurted out: "Miss Zhan!"
Ye Xiaotian nodded silently, and Li Qiuchi said nervously: "If it is Miss Zhan, then the news should be true. What does the letter say? What means do they use to deal with Dongweng?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "The letter didn't say it, but... Ning'er thinks that only by avoiding the mountains can I avoid disaster, it seems that the problems they have raised for me this time must not be so easy to solve."
After hearing this, Li Qiuchi immediately took his hand and walked up in the room. Looking at his face, he obviously struggled very much. After a long time, Li Qiuchi stopped and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Dongweng, let's get rid of his wrists!"
Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why, do you think I should leave?"
Li Qiuchi said: "It is not easy for Dongweng to build today's foundation, and students are reluctant to leave it. However, Dongweng is in his prime, so what can he do if he returns to the mountain to avoid it for ten or eight years? Then the situation outside the mountain will be easier. It is not too late for Dongweng to reappear."
Ye Xiaotian shook his head: "Has the effort failed? I am very stingy and reluctant to let it go!"
Li Qiuchi said anxiously: "Dongweng, keep the green mountains here, don't worry about not burning firewood!"
Ye Xiaotian sneered: "Do you think that even if Governor Ye arrives and wants to use me to establish his authority, will he kill me?"
Li Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Reason?"
Li Qiuchi said: "Dongweng is now a local official, not a rebel. Killing Dongweng will cause greater turmoil, and the ones who make the most profit are those local emperors who follow the rules and do not listen to the announcement. How could the governor be adept at using the law of rebels? Unless they can defeat Dongwen and try to rebel, and the governor also believes in this crime, otherwise there will be punishment, but there will be no beheading!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, what else am I afraid of?"
Li Qiuchi said anxiously: "Even if there is no death penalty, if Dongweng is imprisoned or otherwise severely punished, will the three families of Zhan, Cao and Zhang miss this good opportunity? They will take the opportunity to take action."
Ye Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't think it's that serious."
Li Qiuchi is waiting for further advice, and Ye Xiaotian said: "Do you still remember the hexagram I asked you to record today?"
Li Qiuchi was slightly stunned and said, "What did the student remember?"
Ye Xiaotian said what Taoist Changfeng said to him to Li Qiuchi, and then emphasized: "This is what Governor Ye asked the magistrate Hua to tell me!"
Li Qiuchi savored it carefully for a while and said suspiciously: "If we follow the so-called hexagram, the governor clearly has a hint of Dongweng, but... will there be a fraud?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No!"
Li Qiuchi said: "Dongweng believes in him?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "I believe! As a magistrate in the border area, he has a respectable status. If he wants to punish me, this move is in line with the wishes of most Guizhou powerful people. Why should he demote himself and use this despicable means?"
Ye Xiaotian slowly stood up and said, "It's late at night, go and rest. Let's go and welcome this new governor tomorrow morning!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Early the next morning, the powerful people who had already gathered in Guiyang set off for Shili Pavilion in Dongcheng to welcome the governor.
The General Administration and the Criminal Office, the Chief Commissioner and the Chief Commissioner Office, and the people from the Governor's Office rushed to Shili Pavilion at dawn, setting up colorful sheds, setting up drums and music, setting up posts, and making preparations in advance.
Ye Xiaotian also rushed to the Shili Pavilion in Dongcheng early in the morning. When he saw a distance, he saw many sheds on the roadside, including tables, chairs, benches, and tea and snacks on the table. Many people sat there, eating snacks and drinking tea, chatting with friends whom they knew.
Ye Xiaotian quickly glanced and found that there were a lot of people under the shed. When he looked closely, he saw that there was only one sitting in the middle. It was Hua Qingfeng. Hua Qingfeng was the governor's master. This special identity made him surrounded by stars like the moon.
Of course, the people surrounding him mainly came from the Sansi, all of whom were from the official system. People from the local official system must come. They must have respect for the governor, but they do not have to be like them. Even the governor's master must be flattered.
When Ye Xiaotian saw Hua Qingfeng look proud, he laughed without realizing it, so he stopped and did not come forward to disturb him. He is now famous and everyone is looking at him wherever he steps. If he comes forward to meet, he will steal Mr. Hua's limelight.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian came, someone secretly discussed that someone who didn't know Ye Xiaotian at the beginning also knew his identity. Everyone only looked and whispered from a distance. No one was approaching. The Ten-mile Pavilion was originally bustling, but Ye Xiaotian was deserted and no one dared to approach him.
At this time, an official in the green robe came over without any hesitation. He walked with his horoscope with his shoulders swayed, his face was round and his eyes were slender. Ye Xiaotian looked closely and saw that it was the long-lost experience of Li Xiangrong and Li.
Before Li Juan could speak, Ye Xiaotian bowed and smiled, "Brother Li, congratulations, congratulations. The governor has officially taken office. Brother Li, you have been guarding the clouds and seeing the moon bright!"
Li Jing quickly gave Ye Xiaotian a smile. Even the person who knew Ye Xiaotian was a little scared. Fortunately, he and Ye Xiaotian were considered "friends of distress", and he once worshipped under the Jelao's disciple and believed in the Gu God, which was half his own person.
Li Juan and Ye Xiaotian said shyly: "The Governor is here, although it is a happy event, but Li is not an old man under the Governor, so I am afraid he will not be promoted. I heard that Mr. Hua has an old age with Chief Ye, and I only regret that Li has no chance to get to know him, so I have to beg Chief Ye to recommend it to me with shamelessness."
"This is easy, come on, I'll take you there!" Ye Xiaotian was quite sympathetic to Li Wenxue, and immediately climbed up his arm enthusiastically and greeted Hua Qingfeng with a smile.
"Boom", when Ye Xiaotian arrived, it was like a beat. The flies buzzing around Hua Qingfeng scattered. Hua Qingfeng, who was enjoying the feeling of the stars holding the moon, felt uncomfortable. When he looked up, he realized that Ye Xiaotian had arrived.
Ye Xiaotian said enthusiastically: "Come on, Mr. Hua, Ye will recommend it to you. This is Li Xun from the Governor's Yamen. You two will work with the Yamen in the future, so you might as well get close first!"
Li Jing quickly stepped forward, showed a flattering smile, bowed to Hua Qingfeng and said, "Mr. Hua, I have long admired him, long admired him! Li Xiangrong is here, I will ask Mr. Hua to take care of him in the future."
When Hua Qingfeng saw Li Jing, he was stunned. He used to go to Tongren Mansion to compete for relief funds every year, and he had met this Li Jing. Why did Li Jing not seem to know him at all?
After thinking about it, Hua Qingfeng felt a little funny. At that time, Li Jing always looked higher than the top, so he never took him seriously. No wonder he had no impression of him. Hua Qingfeng reluctantly stood up and bowed, saying, "It turns out that it is Li Jing, who has long admired him, long admired him."
Ye Xiaotian said enthusiastically: "Mr. Hua, Li Xue and I worked together in Tongren. We have a strong relationship. We are considered to be Ye's close friend. In the future, we will ask Mr. Hua to take care of him."
"Oh? It turns out that he is Chief Ye's friend..." Hua Qingfeng looked at Li Jing, and there was a different color in his eyes. He held Li Jing's hand and shook it, smiling happily: "Since he is Chief Ye's friend, Hua must give this face! Hahaha..."
