The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When Ye Xiaohan returned to the Yewang Mansion this time, he also collected some latest information from his subordinates. Before this, he had been trying to find out the background of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi, as well as the identities of some of the upper-level figures of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi, such as Special Envoy Duan and even the Pavilion Master.

Prompted by the secret of the iris on Yun Mujiu's body, and the friendly attitude that the Soul-stealing Iris showed towards the two important figures, Youming Jiuchong and Ye Xiaohan, Ye Xiaohan began to investigate the Soul-stealing Iris step by step.

A few months ago, he looked up some of Envoy Duan's background and learned that this man came to Zhongyue from the Eastern Empire when he was a teenager. In the Soul-stealing Yuanxi, he was quickly promoted from a small envoy to the position of special envoy of Zhongyue headquarters.

Therefore, he also speculated that the Special Envoy Duan, who was born in the Eastern Empire, was able to ascend to the position of Chief Special Envoy of the Soul-Snatching Branch in Zhongyue with the support of someone within the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi. In other words, Special Envoy Duan seemed to have a somewhat extraordinary background, which is commonly known as a "connected person".

When he continued to investigate, the process was not smooth. He also added more manpower and mobilized assassins from the Hades Palace to join the investigation.

Later, Ye Xiaohan found out that the special envoy's name was Duan Yi, and he was very close to the Soul Stealer Pavilion Master. It seemed that the Soul Stealer Pavilion Master was the one who supported Duan Yi, and was also the person Duan Yi relied on the most in Zhongyue and Soul Stealer.

On his way north, he once wondered why the Soul Stealing Pavilion Master came out of retreat but there was no movement?

But fortunately, he guided his subordinates in the Underworld Palace to investigate all the way, and finally dug up some in-depth information.

They learned that the Soul Stealer Pavilion Master's surname was "Qian", and that few people in the world could have this surname...

Pavilion Master Qian, his name is low-key and his actions are also low-key. When he came out of seclusion again, there was no news at all.

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows coldly and said faintly: "Often the simple is not simple..."

"Come here, send an anonymous letter to Pavilion Master Qian, and tell him that I have asked him to meet me in a few days..."

As for how many days it will be, he has to decide based on Pavilion Master Qian's reaction and his own thoughts.

As soon as Ye Xiaohan's order was passed down, Wei Bai and Du Ziheng rushed over.

The two of them have been staying at Prince Ye's mansion frequently recently, but they only return to their own residence occasionally, in order to create the impression to the outside world that they are in the mansion taking care of the prince and princess.

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng came with the news that was hotly discussed at the morning market in Beijing today. Almost all the storytellers in the city were promoting Youming Jiuchong's experience of going north to beat people. They described the scene of Youming Jiuchong beating people vividly, as if they had seen Youming Jiuchong harvesting the heads of those gloomy assassins with their own eyes.

Wei Bai said with a smile: "Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can still know how powerful the Lord of Hell is."

Du Ziheng was full of admiration, and smiled and pointed out: "In this way, the high-profile appearance and violent style of Lord Ming can also deter those restless people in Zhongyue."

He turned his head and looked at Ye Xiaohan. "In this way, whether it is the spies from Nantai who are still staying in the territory, or the spies from Beihan, Xiyi and Dongyang Empire, or other people who want to disrupt the safety of Zhongyue, they can also be frightened by Mingjun's style of doing things. At least in the short term, Zhongyue's tranquility can be temporarily stabilized."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan then raised his eyes and glanced at his two subordinates lightly.

The Night King and his subordinates have such a tacit understanding in their work style. Oftentimes, without the Night King saying much, his confidants can often understand his intentions.

The fact that Nether Nine Levels stepped forward to suppress the death squads from Nantai and Dongyang had already achieved many significant results. Not only did it stop these death squads from wanting to dig up the spirit veins in Zhongyue and using them to stir up disputes, but it also served as a warning to others and deterred those who were trying to make a big splash recently and deliberately stir up trouble.

At least during this period of time, the spies from the other four countries would become more low-key. In Ye Xiaohan's territory, even a dragon would have to coil up. What's more, those people were not dragons. In his heart, even the royal family of the Eastern Empire were not worthy of being called "dragons".

He didn't even call himself a "dragon", so who in the world would dare to call himself a "dragon"?

In terms of background and ability, Ye Xiaohan has never lost to anyone.

It has been so in the past, and it will be even more so in the future!

Ye Xiaohan casually reviewed the official documents in his hand while chatting with Wei Bai and his group.

"Wei Bai," he glanced at Wei Bai, "I directly revealed the news that my legs have healed. Do you have any other thoughts?"

“No more, no more.” Wei Bai shook his head like a rattle. “Your Highness, I was careless yesterday. I shouldn’t have thought that we had to send out the Underworld Palace again to intimidate Zhongyue’s four borders.”

He already understood that the prince had used the name of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion several times in a row. This time, both Dongyang and Xiyi suddenly had military intelligence, so the prince could not use the gimmick of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion to intimidate the four sides. At the moment, the prince used his gimmick of the God of War, which was more oppressive and more intimidating than the demon in the martial arts world, the Lord of Hell.

Ye Xiaohan saw that Wei Bai understood what he meant, so he stopped talking and just stopped there. Wei Bai was smart, but sometimes because of his impatient temper, he would think hastily and not clearly enough.

Ye Xiaohan said to Wei Bai: "Continue to have our people push the news about the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld in the city."

"I understand. I will make a new batch of materials about the deeds of the Lord of Hell, and then secretly distribute them to the storytellers and actors in the restaurants, teahouses and theaters in the city." Wei Bai replied very tactfully. He had already distributed a batch of materials yesterday according to the prince's instructions, so it would be a piece of cake to distribute them again now.

However, he thought of one thing and said carefully: "Your Majesty..."

"explain."

"I have also passed the news to the restaurants and teahouses under your name, including the storyteller at Wangxian Tower, who has all told about the Underworld Lord." Wei Bai said bitterly, "But I haven't sent anyone to the Princess's Yuegui Tower to pass it on. Do you need to..."

"It's up to you." Ye Xiaohan replied indifferently.

Wei Bai swallowed the words in his mouth. In fact, he wanted to ask whether he should also pass on some materials to the storytellers in Yueguilou. But the prince told him to do it himself. If he had to ask the prince, his master, about everything, then what was the point of being the prince's subordinate?

But he was also very conflicted about whether to pass the message to Yueguilou, which was a herbal medicine restaurant opened by the princess. Although there were storytellers there and they would occasionally invite famous opera troupes from the capital to perform, it was after all a shop built by the princess herself. Was it a good idea for him to pass the message without informing the princess in advance?

But he did not dare to take the initiative to tell the princess about the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion, for fear that the secret that the prince and they were all had a deep connection with the people of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion would be exposed.
