Chapter 249 Joining forces with Brother Ye
Master Jia carefully pushed open the dilapidated and crumbling door of the ruined temple, slipped into the temple, and immediately turned back to close the door.
The bright moonlight shone through the broken windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground. There was nothing in the temple except a dilapidated Buddha statue.
Master Jia stood in front of the Buddha statue, facing the gate, waiting quietly.
However, half an hour passed and still no one came in.
Master Jia couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself: "What's going on? Didn't he find this place?"
Just as he was about to open the door and go out to check, he suddenly heard a slight noise above his head.
He looked up alertly and saw two figures jumping down from the beams in the ruined temple.
The two men were one tall and one short, both wearing black night clothes and their faces were obviously disguised.
Master Jia took a step back vigilantly and remained on the defensive.
"Who are you?"
The tall man said coldly:
"I'm Ye Xiaoxuan's brother. Someone sent me a message asking me to come here. Who killed her? I want to avenge her."
Master Jia was stunned. He had never heard Ye Xiaoxuan mention that she had a brother, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"Who exactly is this Brother Ye? Why did he suddenly appear here? Is there some conspiracy?"
The days of escape have made him live in fear and tread on thin ice every day.
In such an environment, he remained highly vigilant and suspicious of everyone and everything.
Therefore, he had to think over and over again about this "Brother Ye" who suddenly appeared and did not dare to believe him easily.
Seeing that Master Jia remained silent, Brother Ye stopped asking questions.
He stood there quietly, with no expression on his face, as if waiting patiently for a response.
Master Jia's mind was working rapidly, thinking about the current situation and response strategies.
He knew very well that with his current strength, if he faced Chu Tianxing head-on, his chances of winning would be slim.
After all, Chu Tianxing's power is huge and he has many subordinates, so it is difficult to compete with him with one's own strength alone.
Therefore, finding allies becomes a crucial step.
Just then, an idea came to my mind.
Regardless of whether this mysterious man in front of him is really Ye Xiaoxuan's brother, as long as he is hostile to Chu Tianxing, then perhaps a cooperative relationship can be established between them.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This saying is particularly appropriate at this time.
As long as they can find common goals and interests, they can join hands to fight against Chu Tianxing.
Thinking of this, Mr. Jia decided to try to contact this man, understand his true intentions and background, and see if there was a chance to establish a cooperative relationship.
Master Jia took a step forward, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said:
"It turned out to be Brother Ye. Xuan'er was killed by Chu Tianxing."
His voice was low and firm, full of grief and determination.
"What? Are you talking about the current crown prince Chu Tianxing?"
Brother Ye widened his eyes in surprise, seeming to be very shocked by the news.
"Yes." Master Jia nodded affirmatively again, with anger and hatred flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and continued:
"Chu Tianxing used all means to fight for the throne, even killing innocent people. Xuan'er is his victim, I will make him pay the price!"
His fists were clenched tightly and his body was shaking slightly, revealing his inner anger and determination.
"Mr. Jia, how could my sister offend the Crown Prince?" Brother Ye asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Alas, it's all because of me!"
Master Jia sighed, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
"The person Chu Tianxing wanted to kill was actually me. Xuan'er fell off the cliff and died while trying to save me."
At this point, Mr. Jia felt a little guilty and regretful. If it weren't for him, Ye Xiaoxuan wouldn't have died.
Brother Ye stood there blankly, his eyes empty and his face full of grief.
His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.
His lips trembled slightly and he seemed to be mumbling something.
He clenched his hands into fists, as if this would allow him to feel a little pain and thus alleviate the suffering in his heart.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said:
“Chu Tianxing, this bastard, actually killed my sister for his own selfish interests.
I must make him pay the price! I want to avenge my sister! I want to kill Chu Tianxing!"
Master Jia's heart moved, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the man in front of him and thought to himself:
Ye Xiaoxuan's brother looked simple-minded, strong-limbed, and just a warrior, but he could even blurt out such a treasonous statement as killing the prince.
The corners of Master Jia's mouth rose slightly, and a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.
If he could skillfully utilize Brother Ye and make him the vanguard in the charge, while he himself hid behind the scenes and controlled everything, he could not only reduce his own risks, but also reap the benefits.
Thinking of this, Master Jia couldn't help but feel proud of his own intelligence.
He quickly comforted him, "Brother Ye, calm down! We are all on the same boat now. Only by uniting can we deal with the current predicament. How about we join forces and work together to find a solution to the problem?"
After hearing this, Brother Ye tried to calm down his excitement, took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Master Jia straightened his back and said slowly, "I have evidence that Chu Tianxing is collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country, and conspiring with the southerners to assassinate your King Yan and his wife."
Doubt and surprise flashed in Brother Ye's eyes. After a moment's silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Jia, what do you need me to do?"
Master Jia's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
He took a few steps forward and whispered to Brother Ye.
"What? You want me to go find King Yan?" Brother Ye asked in a low voice, "I heard that King Yan is cruel and irritable. If I go find him, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"You don't understand this. The Prince of Yan and the Crown Prince are at odds. You have the evidence of the Crown Prince's crime in your hand. The Prince of Yan will definitely treat you as a guest of honor."
Master Jia spared no effort to deceive Brother Ye, but he was thinking in his heart:
If the Prince of Yan did not believe it and killed Brother Ye, it would have nothing to do with him; if the Prince of Yan believed it and fought with the Crown Prince, both would suffer losses and he would reap the benefits.
From this perspective, you won't suffer any loss and it will be safe at the same time.
Even if Prince Yan tortured Brother Ye and asked him about the mastermind behind the scenes, he would never get anything out of him.
Because Brother Ye only knew that he was Master Jia and didn't know that he was Xiao Yifei.
It seemed that after a long and difficult thinking and inner struggle, Brother Ye finally nodded and agreed.
There was a hint of helplessness on his face, but more of it was firmness and determination.
He seemed to have made an important decision, and even though this decision might bring him some troubles or challenges, he still chose to face it resolutely.
Chenshi.
As agreed, Brother Ye came to the dilapidated temple again.
He walked around the statue several times, found a small hole at the bottom, and pulled out a package.
When I opened it, I found that it was indeed the correspondence between Chu Tianxing and Xiao Yifei.
He packed the package and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion.
At 9 o'clock, outside the Prince of Yan's palace.
Brother Ye stood in front of Prince Yan's mansion, anxiously.
He looked anxious, clasped his hands together and pleaded with the two guards:
"My two young men, I do have something important to report to His Royal Highness Prince Yan, and I hope you can help inform him."
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them responded in a cold tone:
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is of noble status. You can't just see him whenever you want. Go away! Don't get in the way here!"
When Brother Ye heard this, he hurriedly explained, "Young man, this matter is really very important. It concerns the life and death of countless people. I hope you can be flexible."
There was urgency and pleading in his voice.
However, the guards were not moved at all, and still said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Brother Ye and continued to stick to his post.
Brother Ye sighed helplessly, his heart filled with helplessness and anxiety.
But he did not give up. He decided to wait patiently at the gate of Prince Yan's mansion and look for the right opportunity to complain to Prince Yan in person.
