Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was different from the previous life. Most of the land here was covered with mountains and forests, and there was no large-scale deforestation like in modern times, so it was easy to find a hidden place along the way.

But the further north you go, the more desolate it becomes.

The mountains will be covered with white frost.

Leng Youran was not worried about these things. According to what Zhao Xu said, there would be a big battle in the Three Gorges Bay. It was a canyon with mountains connected to each other. It was a good place for assassination or silencing. There was a large plain beyond the Three Gorges Bay, which was also the dividing line between prosperity and poverty.

"Ran'er?"

When Mr. Leng came, he saw Leng Youran in a daze.

Leng Youran looked up in response, "Grandfather."

"Well, what happened?"

"fine."

"Are you worried about the next itinerary?" Old Master Leng asked, as if he saw through Leng Youran's worries.

"It's okay, Grandfather, have your people arrived?"

"Yes, they are on their way. We originally thought that Zhao Mingyao would attack in Liucheng, so most of the people were stationed there. It will take some time for them to arrive."

Leng Youran nodded slightly. Liucheng was only three cities away from Liangzhou, and the sniper position was also excellent. It was even more desolate than Liangzhou, and there were many exiles gathered there. It was very appropriate to describe the place as poor mountains and bad waters producing unruly people.

Mr. Leng’s initial plan was correct, but the mistake was that they overestimated Zhao Mingyao’s patience.

The assassination within five hundred miles was the bottom line that Zhao Mingyao could endure.

The day passed peacefully. In the evening, Leng Youran left some things for Old Man Leng and told him that she would be away for two days.

Old Master Leng wanted to ask her where she was going, but when he thought of his granddaughter's ability, he held back from asking.

Leng Youran bid farewell to his family and set out again on the journey back to Beijing.

This time, she received a letter from Hua Mingche via carrier pigeon, informing her that there was something in the capital that needed her help.

Leng Youran did not explain the affairs of the Hua family and the Ye family to Old Man Leng and the others. Firstly, he did not want to make them worry, and secondly, he wanted to give Hua Qinrou and Ye Yushuang a surprise in the future.

She has been waiting for news from Hua Mingche these two days, and fortunately she didn't have to wait too long.

On the way back to Beijing, Leng Youran used teleportation, invisibility and wind-based abilities to increase his speed.

She didn't know how to improve her invisibility and teleportation skills and could only figure it out on her own.

Fortunately, when she returned to the capital, her invisibility time had been increased to six minutes.

Although it only added one minute, Leng Youran was happy for a long time.

When she arrived at Huafu in stealth, Hua Mingche and the Ye family were already waiting there.

The person who came to the Ye family this time was Ye Yushuang’s eldest brother, who is now the head of the Ye family.

"Brother, do you think that little girl from the Leng family can really help our Ye family overcome the difficulties?"

"Brother Ye, don't worry. As long as You Ran comes back, she will definitely be able to resolve your Ye family's affairs."

Leng Youran heard the conversation between the two as soon as she arrived outside Hua Mingche's study.

Hearing the impatience in Ye Chaoyang's voice and the distrust in his words, Leng Youran appeared and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened from the inside. When Hua Mingche saw her, his face was full of surprise. Without any further greetings, he pulled her into the study.

When Ye Chaoyang saw someone coming, he stood up from his chair. When he saw that the person was a very young girl, he felt a sense of disappointment.

These days Hua Mingche has been lobbying him to quickly close his business in the capital and move to the north.

He had thought about it, but the Ye family was so wealthy and powerful that he couldn't just evacuate whenever he wanted.

Unexpectedly, just when he was hesitating, something happened in their family.

However, according to Hua Mingche, this matter was brought up by her niece. Now seeing the half-grown child in front of her, she suddenly felt that it would be useless for the Ye family to go to the north.

"Greetings, Uncle Ye!"

Leng Youran politely bowed to Ye Chaoyang.

Ye Chaoyang suppressed the despair in his heart, put on a smile and said to Leng Youran, "Get up, kid. I think you and your uncle have something to discuss. I'll be leaving first."

Ye Chaoyang no longer placed his hopes on Leng Youran. Now he wanted to go back and think carefully about the emperor's request.

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Leng Youran quickly winked at Hua Mingche.

Hua Mingche didn't expect Ye Chaoyang to see Leng Youran and leave without saying anything. He stepped forward and held him back, "Brother Ye, wait a moment. Youran is here now. Shouldn't you say anything first?"

Ye Chaoyang glanced at Leng Youran and then at Hua Mingche, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, Brother Hua, I know you mean well, but, but this child is too young, don't let her get involved in the Ye family's affairs."

Leng Youran couldn't help but frown when she heard him say that. He didn't even say anything and just denied her like that?

this....

Forget it, he is my second aunt’s brother after all!

"Uncle Ye, you haven't told me what the matter is yet. How do you know that I, a single child, can't handle it?"

When Ye Chaoyang heard her say this, he looked at Hua Mingche in embarrassment, who was holding him back.

Hua Mingche knew what he was worried about. Although he was not sure, he still told the girl about what had happened recently when he thought of her elusive martial arts.

After hearing Hua Mingche's words, Leng Youran's frown deepened.

After all, this matter is still related to her.

The last time she took things from the national treasury, Zhao Mingyao sent people to harass the exiles. The second time he took things from the national treasury, Zhao Mingyao set his sights on the Ye family again.

"So what does Uncle Ye plan to do now that he's gone? Is he going to hand over all his wealth to the emperor?"

Ye Chaoyang sighed, "What else can I do? Now the second and third sons are imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture. If I still don't make a decision, then the Ye family may..." He didn't say the rest and glanced in her direction.

Leng Youran understood what he meant.

It will be the same fate as the Leng family.

"But do you think Zhao Mingyao will let you go if you hand over all your property? There are so many aristocratic families in the capital, and there are also many wealthy businessmen. Why would he attack you? Don't you understand?"

"Of course I know why, but what else can I do now? Can I hold on to all those properties and watch my brother go to jail? I can't do it." After saying this, Ye Chaoyang sat down on the chair beside him as if he was deflated.

Hua Mingche felt very sad to see him like this. The emperor had also had ideas about him, but after he finished talking with Leng Youran, he began to deal with the property in his hands. The money was in his hands, and he had no property under his name, so Zhao Mingyao had no way to deal with him.

What's more, he has no official position and no money, so he is of no value to outsiders.

Unlike the Ye family, their businesses are spread all over the capital, and even if they want to sell them, they can't find a suitable person to take over for the time being.

Leng Youran thought for a while before saying, "Uncle Ye, give him all the things. When you give them to him, ask for an imperial decree asking Zhao Mingyao to let you leave the capital."
