After Miying finished giving the instructions, he took the glutinous rice and left.

The steward in the main kitchen glanced at him and scolded, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Liu lowered his head and said, "Manager, the food is here."

When the steward saw that it was Li Liu who was delivering the food, he scolded, "Alright, bring the food in and get out of here!"

"Yes!"

Miying returned to the yard and gave the glutinous rice to Xianglan.

Xianglan ran to the small kitchen with glutinous rice to prepare glutinous rice balls, as if what happened before had never happened at all.

However, Shen Chaoyan didn't say anything more and continued reading. Mi Ying stood by and added some tea to Shen Chaoyan from time to time.

……

"Second Master, there's a letter!"

In the small courtyard, Kong Hang hurried in and handed a note to Shen Zechuan.

After Shen Zechuan took it and read it, his expression darkened slightly.

"I'm going to find the young marshal!"

After saying that, Shen Zechuan went to Xiao Yun's room. Seeing Xiao Yun sitting there, he didn't know what he was thinking about. Shen Zechuan quickly said, "Young Marshal, my little sister sent me some news."

Xiao Yun stood up almost immediately. Before Shen Zechuan even saw him move, he had already arrived in front of Shen Zechuan. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to tell when he stood up.

Shen Zechuan secretly rolled his eyes. He really didn't know what Xiao Yun was thinking at the moment.

Are you trying to show how much you love your little sister?

That's why he was so anxious when Shen Chaoyan sent the letter back.

However, there were only four words on the note, and Ye had already taken action.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

"She didn't say anything other than this?" Xiao Yun asked.

"no!"

This is just sending back a letter, but aren’t they here for the Ye family’s treasure?

Recently they have been secretly keeping an eye on Ye Huaichuan, but he seems to be doing nothing. He just patrols at home and in the city every day, and does nothing else.

And no one was arranged to go to the place where the Ye family hid the treasure.

Shen Chaoyan didn't go out, so if they wanted to contact Shen Chaoyan, they could only wait for Shen Chaoyan to contact them.

Shen Zechuan was worried about Shen Chaoyan's safety, but he was even more worried that Ye Jinnian would discover something and take action against Shen Chaoyan.

"When will she leave the Ye family? Ye Jinnian is not a fool. He will definitely cause some trouble. Have you ever thought about your younger sister's safety by then?" If Shen Chaoyan really stayed there, they could all imagine how dangerous it would be there.

Ye Jinnian probably sent many people to secretly keep an eye on Shen Chaoyan. It can even be said that Shen Chaoyan is now like a hostage in Ye Jinnian's hands. If anything happens, Ye Jinnian will blame Shen Chaoyan.

"My little sister isn't one to act recklessly. She knows what's going on! Right now, the most important thing is to keep a close eye on Ye Jinnian. I recently discovered that dozens of craftsmen in Huaicheng have mysteriously disappeared, and two bodies were found outside the Ye family's treasure house. I'm afraid... these craftsmen died at Ye Jinnian's hands!"

After all, it was a place where treasures were hidden. Who knew if Ye Jinnian was worried that this person would spread the news, so those craftsmen who helped dig the hole died there.

In short, you must be more careful.

"You lead your men to sneak in secretly, with a small team on each side. I will lead my men to ambush at the foot of the mountain road. You wait for the signal, and I will reply then!" Xiao Yun said in a low voice.

Shen Zechuan nodded, "Okay!"

Shen Zechuan didn't stay for long and turned around to walk out.

As if thinking of something, Shen Zechuan lowered his footsteps and said, "Be careful!"

"The same to you!"

Huaicheng was not peaceful today. In the evening, several gunshots were heard in succession. Shen Chaoyan and Du Jingyun were both frightened. They didn't dare to go out again and just sat there quietly.

Du Jingyun's face was full of worry. She couldn't feel at ease until Ye Jinnian came back.

Shen Chaoyan was reading a medical book in her hand, but no one knew that Shen Chaoyan had not read a single word.

"Jingyun, don't worry too much. Marshal Ye will be fine." Shen Chaoyan comforted.

Du Jingyun sighed, "Zhao Yan, did you hear that? There were so many gunshots, one after another. I wonder if something will happen to him. I'm really worried."

"No, Marshal Ye is a lucky man, don't worry."

"But he's still fine, and it's already eleven o'clock. I'm scared!"

Du Jingyun didn't dare to sleep. She couldn't feel at ease until Ye Jinnian returned safely.

Shen Chaoyan sat there and looked outside.

"Is there a fire on the mountain?" Shen Chaoyan suddenly asked, pointing in a direction.

Du Jingyun was stunned and immediately looked in the direction Shen She pointed.

"Yes, what a huge fire!" Du Jingyun was startled. "Brother Jinnian, Brother Jinnian must be there. I want to go check it out."

After saying that, Du Jingyun didn't bother to think too much, and didn't even have time to put on his coat, and rushed out directly.

Shen Chaoyan was shocked when she saw this and quickly shouted, "Jingyun, come back quickly, it's too dangerous!"

However, Shen Chaoyan glanced at Mi Ying and the others, grabbed Du Jingyun's coat and chased after him.

The Ye Mansion was instantly in chaos, and the soldiers responsible for protecting Du Jingyun and her quickly chased after them.

However, when they came out, Du Jingyun was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Du!"

"Stop shouting, Jingyun must have run to the mountain. Hurry up and catch up with him. It's dark now. If Jingyun encounters danger, how are you going to explain to Marshal Ye?" After Shen Chaoyan said this, he saw a horse tied to the side.

Without giving it much thought, she immediately came to the side, untied the horse rope, and got on the horse. She said, "Give me Jingyun's clothes. I'll go after her. You guys hurry up and follow!"

"Miss!" Xianglan and Miying called out.

Shen Chaoyan squeezed the horse's belly and the horse ran away.

After a few people reacted, they followed suit.

No matter what, we must protect their safety.

Shen Chaoyan's horse was out for a while and then caught up with Du Jingyun.

She really didn't expect that Du Jingyun, with such a small body, could run so fast.

No wonder the people sent by Ye Jinnian couldn’t catch up with Du Jingyun.

"Jingyun, it's too dangerous on the mountain. We have to trust Marshal Ye. He also promised you that he would come back safely. Let's go back quickly!" Shen Chaoyan blocked Du Jingyun's way and shouted.

When Du Jingyun heard this, he shouted, "Zhao Yan, give me the horse. I won't feel at ease unless I go and see it with my own eyes!"

"No way!"

Du Jingyun looked at Shen Chaoyan with red eyes, "Chaoyan, things are getting a little better between me and Brother Jinnian. I really don't want anything to happen to Brother Jinnian. Even if something really happens to him... I still want to stay with him, even if it means death!"

Du Jingyun had already walked over and grabbed the reins.

Shen Chaoyan sighed when he heard this, "Come up!"

Du Jingyun's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took Shen Chaoyan's hand. With her help, Du Jingyun successfully got on the horse.

"Jingyun, I'm sorry! I can't do this to you. It's too dangerous on the mountain. Let's go back first!" As he said that, Shen Chaoyan turned his horse's head and was about to head towards Ye Mansion.

However, Du Jingyun simply grabbed the reins and said, "Chao Yan, I'm sorry!"

She squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the horse flew out wildly.

After finally catching up with their team, they saw Shen Chaoyan trying to take Du Jingyun back. However, Du Jingyun grabbed the reins and ran straight up the mountain with Shen Chaoyan.

They didn't dare to stay and had to chase after him quickly.

……

On the mountain, there were gunshots, shouts, cries for help, all kinds of sounds mixed together. The grass on one side was already on fire, and the flames instantly illuminated the earth.

There were many corpses lying on the ground, and there were several people kneeling in front of Ye Jinnian. From their clothes, it could be seen that they were probably ordinary craftsmen.

However, at this time, those craftsmen lay down and had completely died!

"Xiao Yun, this is my Lingnan Mirror. Now that you've entered our territory, do you still want to leave?"
