Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Ye Tie carefully recalled the situation at that time, then shook his head and replied:

"Brother Guo just told me this matter and asked me to prepare in advance. As for the other things, I was panicked at the time and didn't ask, so Brother Guo didn't tell me."

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng asked calmly, pretending to be unintentional:

"Ye Tie, do you think I can trust this Guo Zhanshan?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Tie was a little confused. He didn't know what the hidden meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words was. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"In the green forest of Liaoyang, Brother Guo doesn't have many people, but his reputation as a chivalrous person is well-known! I think you can trust him, young master!"

Regarding Ye Tie's answer, Ye Mingsheng looked a little noncommittal. After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Mingsheng ordered: "I understand the matter. You go down and do your work."

"Young Master..."

Regarding Ye Mingsheng's order, Ye Tie looked troubled.

Seeing his request, Ye Mingsheng remembered something important and smiled slightly and said:

"If conditions permit, you can keep in touch with Guo Zhanshan, but you must remember to keep it hidden and not let too many people know."

Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Ye Tie looked a little stunned. He remembered that Ye Mingsheng was the most disgusted with his association with this group of green forest people. He hesitated for a moment, and the confused Ye Tie couldn't help but ask:

"Master, what are you..."

"At this time and that time, I was in Luo'an, in the Forbidden Army, and your contact with the people in the green forest was a hidden danger to you and me."

"But now we are in Liaoyang, where bandits are everywhere. We will have to deal with them sooner or later. In this case, it is better to prepare early and know yourself and the enemy, so that you can fight without danger!"

"But you must remember that your contact with them must be done cleanly. Not many people know about it, otherwise it will be very passive if someone exposes it!" Ye Mingsheng explained in detail:

Hearing this, Ye Tie suddenly realized and understood Ye Mingsheng's intention. He immediately bowed and saluted:

"Don't worry, young master, I know what to do!"

After seeing Ye Tie off, Ye Mingsheng did not continue to handle official duties, but found a map of Fengshan County and its surrounding areas from the study.

Looking at the location of Keshan Hill on the map, a sneer appeared on Ye Mingsheng's lips.

Although it was unknown what purpose Guo Zhanshan had in telling Ye Tie the news, Ye Mingsheng was willing to believe that the news was true.

As for the reason, it is very simple. No matter whether he believes the news or not, Guo Zhanshan will not get any benefit...

Keshan Hill, where Hong Ming, the ghost-headed sword in Ye Tiekou's words, is located is to the east of Fengshan County. It is not close to Fengshan County. It is two hundred miles away, and there are also some mountain roads in it. Normally speaking, it is not close to Fengshan County.

Without traveling at night, it would take Hong Ming at least five days to reach Fengshan County.

So the question is, what prompted a bandit with such heinous crimes to travel such a long way away from his home base to deal with the Ye family?

Is it wealth?

The answer is undoubtedly no. Although the Ye family has some savings, it can be considered a wealthy family in Liaoyang, but it is nothing more than that. However, in Fengshan County alone, there are no less than ten families whose wealth is greater than that of the Ye family.

And the most important thing is that not far from Keshangang are Tailai County and Qinggang County, two famous and wealthy counties in Liaoyang. If he is seeking wealth, Hong Ming does not need to go such a long way.

Taking such a big risk to deal with the Ye family.

Since they are not seeking wealth, does it mean that the Ye family has a grudge against this bandit named Hong Ming?

Of course not!

If Ye Tie hadn't mentioned it today, Ye Mingsheng wouldn't even have known that a figure like Hong Ming existed! Moreover, Hong Ming had been entrenched in Keshangang for many years. If he had had any grudge against the Ye family, he would have avenged it long ago, so why wait until now?

Neither seeking wealth nor having any grudges, why did the bandit Hong Ming make it clear that he wanted to deal with the Ye family where he lived?

If Ye Mingsheng expected it to be true.

This Hong Ming must have been ordered by someone else!

As for who gave this instruction, it is naturally not difficult to guess...

This style of killing people with a borrowed knife can be regarded as a consistent method of that adult.

As for who would make such a move, Ye Mingsheng had already thought about it when he received the vanguard mission from Chen Dechang, but the speed of the opponent's attack was indeed much faster than he imagined!

It seems that they have decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and want to use their head, Ye, to warn other people who are ready to take action!

Daxing Mountains, in a mountain village in Jiukongya.

"Zhiping, do you think this Ye Mingsheng can survive this test?" Guo Zhanshan, who was already over fifty years old and had a weathered face, was leaning on a chair. He looked at the tall, slender and outstanding eldest son in front of him with some amusement.

He asked worriedly:

"Although Hong Ming, the ghost-headed sword, is not a thing, he and his hundreds of brothers are all very tough, and all of them have seen blood and killed people before!"

"Although Ye Mingsheng has recruited two to three thousand people, those people were just farmers a few days ago. Can he do it?"

"Do you think we, father-in-law, should give him a hand?"

Facing his father's inquiry, Guo Zhiping shook his head slightly and said:

"The reason why Ye Mingsheng was able to rise to the rank of General of the Fifth Rank Tiger Power was because of his surprise attack on Liu Jing. If this person was able to defeat Liu Jing in one fell swoop, it means that he is by no means an ordinary person!"

"And he didn't come alone. He also brought more than a hundred people with him. I have observed these people. They are all good soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Everyone is wearing steel swords and armor. With this group of people here, then

In addition, we have already told him the news, and there is absolutely nothing Hong Ming can do to him."

At this point, Guo Zhiping paused for a moment, and then continued to say quietly:

"If Ye Mingsheng falls into the hands of Hong Ming, it means that this person is an idiot who does not live up to his name!"

"If you can't even fight against one Hong Ming, how can you deal with the next one?"

After hearing his eldest son's analysis, Guo Zhanshan couldn't help but nodded and said with emotion:

"I think the court is serious about it this time. The settlement allowance that Ye Mingsheng has given out in the past few days has already amounted to several thousand taels of silver. Your father and I have never earned so much in my life..."

······The imperial court is really willing to spend money this time!"

"If the imperial court is not willing to spend money, how can it bring down anyone?" Guo Zhiping responded casually, then his voice changed and he asked seriously: "Father, regarding that matter, second uncle, third uncle
