Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

Ye Tingyuan didn't find Qiao Shuyu after returning to Ye Mansion. He knew in his heart that Qiao Shuyu must be feeling uncomfortable when he was on the boat, so he wanted to have a good chat with him.

"Did you see Qiao Shuyu?"

He asked the maids in Fengyi Garden, and the maids shook their heads one by one, saying: "Mr. Qiao went out with Miracle Doctor Mu today, and they haven't come back."

"Who hasn't come back?"

Pinggu helped Old Madam Ye come over, Ye Tingyuan waved the maidservants to go down first, stepped forward and said, "Grandma, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

"Hey, isn't it the Qixi Festival today? That bastard Mu Mu is ignorant and dragged Xiao Yu out early. I thought, shouldn't the Qixi Festival be celebrated by the two of you together? Come and have a look, where is Xiao Yu?"

"I met by the lake before, there was some misunderstanding, and I haven't come back yet."

"What? You haven't come back so late? Xiaoyu and Mumu together?"

"Ah."

"That's okay, what's the misunderstanding? Did you make him angry?"

"He misunderstood me and Shu Yu."

The old matriarch reacted for a while before she understood, and said displeasedly: "It's Xiao Shuyu again, I said when will you break up with Xiao Shuyu? After all these years, haven't you forgotten?"

"Grandma, I have nothing to do with Shu Yu."

"Then don't meet, our Ye family has not paid enough for him? How do you want your parents to feel at ease? Yuan'er, you can't make mistakes again and again."

"Grandma, don't worry, I've already made it clear to him."

"It's good to make it clear. Remember to tell Xiaoyu clearly, so that the child won't think about it. Xiaoyu is a good boy. Grandma can see that he really likes you. Don't let him down."

Ye Tingyuan nodded, at this time there were some footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, they looked over and saw Qiao Zhu appearing, the old matriarch asked happily: "Little Zhuzi, where is Xiao Yu?"

Qiao Zhu walked up to them and replied, "Go back to the dean and the old matriarch, my son, he said he wanted to have a quiet time, so he won't be coming back for the time being."

"Not coming back? Where did he go?"

"Young master found an inn to stay in."

"What should I do, Yuan'er, did you do something too much? Otherwise, why didn't Xiaoyu even go home? You should go and get him back!"

"Old Majesty, Young Master was very sad to see the dean and Young Master Xiao swimming in the lake together today. He said that he wanted to have a quiet meeting alone, and he didn't want me to say which inn he was in."

"What?" The old matriarch looked at Ye Tingyuan, hating that iron could not become steel, and said, "Today's Qixi Festival, why did you go to talk to Xiao..."

After saying this, he stopped again, and told Qiao Zhu: "Little Zhuzi, go back to your room and rest first."

"Yes……"

After Qiao Zhu returned to the room, the old lady dragged Ye Tingyuan into the room, and said angrily, "Why did you go to swim the lake with Xiao Shuyu? Didn't you just say that you have nothing to do with him?"

"It's okay, that's why I made it clear."

"Then you don't have to choose tonight. How easy it is to be misunderstood. Xiaoyu must be heartbroken and doesn't want to come back. This Xiao Shuyu is a scourge. Eight years ago, he made our Ye family like that. Not enough, finally stopped for eight years, and came back again!"

Pinggu followed the old lady's back and persuaded: "Don't get angry, old lady, pay attention to your body."

"With such an unfilial grandson, what's the use of paying attention to my body, sooner or later I will be pissed to death!"

Ye Tingyuan helped the old lady to sit down at the table, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Grandma, I will make it clear to Xiaoyu, don't get angry."

The old matriarch said sadly: "Yuan'er, there is something that grandma has kept in mind for eight years, and she has never mentioned it to you. She thought Xiao Shuyu was dead, so it's okay not to mention it."

"Grandma, tell me."

She sighed, looked up at Ye Tingyuan and said, "You robbed the execution ground as soon as you arrived in the imperial city eight years ago, and you led the pursuers to cover Xiao Shuyu's escape, and asked him to report the news to the general's mansion so that he could let Xiao Shuyu escape. We in the General's Mansion can evacuate from the secret passage as soon as possible, but you know, he didn't report to the General's Mansion at the beginning, so in the end, the General's Mansion was ransacked and beheaded."

Ye Tingyuan pursed his lips and remained silent, the old lady said in surprise: "You already knew?"

"Ah."

"You were captured by mistake, and you were tortured in the sky prison and refused to reveal his whereabouts, but what about him, he never took your words to heart, and even abandoned the entire general's mansion, so you can forgive him?"

Ye Tingyuan knelt down directly, and the old matriarch went to help him, but he refused to get up.

"Grandma, I admit that I liked him before, but that love has long been let go. I didn't know he was still alive, so I didn't want to hate him in the past.

What's more, I was the one who went to rob the court at the beginning, and I was the one who got involved in the general's mansion and killed my mother and so many innocent people. I have no right to blame others. "

Old General Ye died in battle, but at that time there were still his mother, servants and servant girls in the general's mansion as guards.

"If grandma hadn't been unable to let go, grandson would have gone to plead guilty to his parents and other innocent souls in the mansion."

The old matriarch shook his head sadly, and said helplessly: "Grandma, why not? I thought that we would go to the underworld together at the beginning. Who would have thought that there would be a mysterious person to help secretly. Grandma is old, and it doesn't matter, but you are still young. , once wandered before the gate of hell, you should know how to cherish life even more."

"grandmother……"

"Now there are only you and me left in the Ye family. Grandma knows that you have not let go of the hatred in your heart these years. You want to take revenge and return justice to the Ye family, but grandma doesn't want you to take risks in the imperial city again. Son, if your parents are alive in heaven, they will definitely not want you to take risks."

Ye Tingyuan didn't speak, he never let go, he has been investigating the truth for so many years, what happened back then was too strange, the person behind it never showed up, he must be planning something secretly.

The reputation of the General's Mansion was ruined by him, and he must take it back himself!

"Let's not talk about that, it's all over, the most important thing right now is to get Xiao Yu back, he misunderstood, and he must be feeling bad now."

Ye Tingyuan nodded, stood up and looked at Pinggu, Pinggu helped the old lady to accompany the old lady back to Shuxinyuan to rest.

"I wish you..."

"What's your master's order?"

"Contact the hidden guard next to Qiao Shuyu to see where he is."

"Yes……"

Looking at the quiet room, Ye Tingyuan remembered the look in Qiao Shuyu's eyes when he turned to leave, and couldn't help clenching his fists. It's time to explain all those things clearly.

If at that time he is still willing to choose himself who bears the crime, then he will never let go.

Qiao Shuyu was sitting quietly in a corner of a wooden house with his knees folded, his expression was very calm, he was staring at the ground silently, not knowing what he was looking at.

The wooden door was pushed open, and several people walked in, the leader being Xiao Shuyu.

"Qiao Fan, you really don't resist at all. Your kung fu seems to be useless."

After Xiao Shuyu finished speaking, he waited for a while but did not get a response. He walked slowly in front of Qiao Shuyu, squatted in front of him and said, "You must be scolding me in your heart now, aren't you?"

Qiao Shuyu's eyes turned to Xiao Shuyu's face, and then moved away after only one glance, as if full of disdain.

"Actually, I should have taken your life when I was in Yunyan City, but you were so lucky that you survived."

Xiao Shuyu said it easily, but Qiao Shuyu clenched his hands tightly, so Qiao Fan was actually killed by someone sent by Xiao Shuyu, and Xiao Shuyu had his eye on Qiao Fan from the beginning.

"You must not be able to figure out why Qiao Zhu by your side betrayed you. I can tell you that he was actually arranged by me from the beginning, including your meeting."

Xiao Shuyu stood up while speaking, and continued: "According to Ye Tingyuan's character, he would not let a person of unknown origin stay in the Ye Mansion without guarding against it, and he must have sent someone to investigate Qiao Zhu's life experience.

But it is a pity that all of Qiao Zhu's life experience is true. His father was a bad bet and threatened to sell him to brothels several times. His mother stopped him before, but later his mother died of illness. "

Qiao Shuyu felt a little tired, because he was tired, he just wanted to live peacefully, but it turned out that so many people tried their best to take his life.

"So I gave his father money to play a play. No one would doubt it. I was thinking where it would be better, but I didn't expect you to go to Qing/lou."

So not long after Qiao Shuyu and Mu Yunxi arrived at Qing/Lou, they saw Qiao Zhu who was sold in and wanted to die. Logically speaking, such a scene would not come to the fore. Now that I think about it, it was specially played for him. I see.

"It's actually very easy for you to kill me, why bother?"

"Yunyan City's sky and earth nets can't kill you. I think you must have some skills. Besides, I also want to know what your purpose of approaching Ye Tingyuan is."

Qiao Shuyu laughed and said, "Xiao Shuyu, you think highly of me."

Xiao Shuyu was not surprised that he already knew his identity, it would be even better if he knew, he waved his hand, and his subordinates brought some food and put it on the ground.

"Actually, I don't have to ask for your life. If you are willing to tell who is behind you, maybe I will consider letting you go."

Qiao Shuyu smiled brightly, raised his head and replied, "Qi Ning Wang is unparalleled in literary talent and resourcefulness, he will definitely be able to find out who my master is, so why should I talk too much?"

"Qiao Juan, you don't want to toast and not eat fine wine."

"If you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect."

"Do you think it's as simple as dying? Believe it or not, I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death!"

Qiao Shuyu nodded and exclaimed, "Then I must count them carefully to see if there are a thousand kinds."

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Shuyu's eyes, Qiao Shuyu pretended not to see it, he reached out to pick up the food on the ground and ate slowly, the iron chain in his hand was a little in the way, but he didn't seem to notice it.

In Ye Mansion, Zhu Ze hurried through the corridors and came to Ye Tingyuan's room. Ye Tingyuan looked up when he heard footsteps.

"found it?"

"Master, the four hidden guards around Mr. Qiao... are all missing."

Ye Tingyuan stood up, eyes full of surprise...
