Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

While the girls were talking to Lu Yuwei, Ye Fan and Han Youyue walked out of the boudoir and went for a walk in the small courtyard outside, chatting as they walked.

"What's the map news from Brother Five?"

This time when returning to the Northwest, apart from destroying the eight major families, the most urgent thing is this matter.

Han Youyue is obviously the most qualified person to speak on the intelligence surrounding this matter.

"There are some clues, but the situation is not good."

Mentioning this, Han Youyue's expression became serious. He turned his head and looked around, then nodded and continued, "Because all the clues point to... the Red Tiger Territory! When Young Master Ye was attacked, it was said that the attacker was a strong man from the Red Tiger Territory, but up to now, the news has been strictly blocked..."

"Oh!" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of murderous intent flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes. There was no doubt that there must be people planted by King Jin and the Emperor in the Red Tiger Territory.

For example, the last captain of ten thousand men, Wang Ping, was bewitched and deceived by Xie Fei, Elder Zhou and others arranged by the Emperor, in an attempt to snatch the elixir from Gu Changsheng, and ended up dying tragically on the spot.

But the Emperor's men cannot be considered spies, and Prince Jin's men can only be called traitors.

The only people who can truly be considered spies are those from external forces that do not belong to Daxia.

If there really was such a being who attacked the fifth brother and took away his Heavenly Palace fragment, then once Ye Fan found out the other party's background, he would probably go on a killing spree in anger.

"It just so happens that there has been no news from Gu Changsheng since we last met. I wonder if that pill has solved Gu Tang's problem."

After a brief pause, Ye Fan made a decision immediately, "It's time to go to the Red Tiger Territory."

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, "Is Master Ye here? The captain of the Red Tiger Territory, Zhang Dong, wants to see you..."

Such a coincidence?
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked out of the yard.

In front of the courtyard gate, three men dressed as soldiers stood there respectfully.

The first person had the Red Tiger Territory's centurion's chest badge on his chest. This person should be Zhang Dong who spoke just now.

The two people behind him should be his subordinates, who followed him.

"Meet Master Ye!"

When he saw the real master, Zhang Dong's expression became serious and he immediately paid homage to him with great respect.

After Ye Fan waved his hand, he and his two subordinates stood up at the same time.

"I came to Ancheng to ask for help from Master Ye on the orders of the young commander."

"I hope Young Master Ye can spare some time to go to the Red Tiger Territory. Commander Gu is almost dying..."

Commander Gu?
That is Gu Tang, the commander of the Red Tiger Territory.

Why is it about to fail? Wasn't the elixir that won the first place in the last martial arts competition taken back by Gu Changsheng?

Ye Fan frowned, vaguely sensing that things were not simple.

With that eighth-grade elixir, solving Gu Tang's problem is definitely a piece of cake, at least there is a 90% chance. Even if Gu Tang's injury cannot be cured, at least the status quo can be maintained!
But how long has it been? He is almost dying?

If this is true, something major must have happened!

Ye Fan immediately went to the front yard, found Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, Lu Xue and others, and explained everything to them.

Afterwards, he called up Guo Li, Yu Qiang, Song Yang, Wang Fugui and other senior leaders of the Fan League, and gathered dozens of core members of the Fan League to prepare for the journey.

But before leaving, the girls in the backyard heard the news and said they wanted to take care of Ye Fan's daily life no matter what!

After some discussion, Ye Fan finally decided to take Yamada Keiko, Qiu Wan, Ren Xueying, and Qing Ruolan with him.

As for Lu Yuwei, the aftermath matters at the Ancheng Lu family were rather heavy, so she stayed at the Lu family.

As the intelligence queen of Tianji Pavilion, Han Youyue has always been elusive and has long disappeared into the darkness...

…………

Red Tiger Territory.

The Red Tiger Army camp.

The security outside the general's tent was strict, with two layers of guards within three meters and ten meters, with a combination of fortified posts and patrols, all of which were under the charge of the Red Tiger Guards who were under the command of the commander-in-chief Gu Tang.

All of this was arranged by Gu Changsheng. Six hundred Red Tiger guards were divided into three shifts to stand guard day and night.

The reason why they were still so serious in the Red Tiger Army camp was because Gu Changsheng was scared last time. Even Wang Ping, a captain who had followed Gu Tang for many years, could be turned against, let alone others?

In the handsome tent.

Gu Changsheng frowned, standing alone in front of the couch, pondering in silence.

Gu Tang, who was lying on the couch, no longer had the mighty spirit he had when he led the Red Tiger Army.

He is now beyond even being described as a hero in his twilight years.

He suffered serious internal injuries and was called a toothless tiger by the royal family.

The current Gu Tang can only be regarded as a frail and sickly man who may die at any time. Not only is his body haggard and thin, but even his black hair has turned pale, like a man in his seventies or eighties.

"Changsheng, your father is dying..."

Gently waving his hand, he called Gu Changsheng closer. Gu Tang forced a smile and began to explain his affairs with a faint voice, "This poison is constantly eroding my father's body functions and accelerating aging."

"Its effect is like time is speeding up on my body. It can be called the poison of time."

"This item is unheard of, and ordinary people can't get it. If it's not the royal family who did it, it must be Prince Jin. You... can't beat them."

"After your father leaves, you must mourn and take care of yourself. If the royal family pushes you too hard, even if you have to hand over the military power of the Red Tiger Territory, you must try to protect the lives of your father's old friends..."

"Father, please stop talking. You will be fine."

Gu Changsheng's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "Young Master Ye, do you still remember? The elixir I brought back last time was obtained with his help. In addition, the arrangements in the Red Tiger Territory must have been made by him, who must have sent people to secretly assist Father."

"I just received news not long ago that Ye Fan is not dead at all and has returned to Ancheng."

"I have sent people to Ancheng to invite him. With his medical skills, it will not be difficult to remove the time poison in my father's body..."

Before he could finish, Gu Tang smiled bitterly and waved his hand again, "It's no use, it's too late..."

"But Master Ye is not dead. This is good news. Maybe you will have another way out in the future!"

"At least you and the group of old friends who have followed me for many years now have a good place to go. If the royal family is really bullying you, you can take them... and surrender to Young Master Ye's Tianlong Territory!"

From the sound of it, it was clear that he couldn't hold on for even a moment, and had even lost the will to survive.

Gu Changsheng scratched his head and ears. This usually gentle scholar was so anxious that he wanted to curse...

Just when he was at a loss and extremely anxious, Zhang Dong's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Young Commander, Zhang Dong has fulfilled his mission and has invited Young Master Ye to come."

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng's face was filled with ecstasy, and he stood up in surprise, "Quickly, please come in..."

Just as they arrived at the door of the general's tent, two people came in. Because they were brought by Zhang Dong and Gu Changsheng had also given the order, the Chihu guards guarding outside did not stop them.

The only people who entered the account were Ye Fan and Guo Li.

Others such as Yu Qiang, Wang Fugui, Yamada Keiko, Qiu Wan, and dozens of Fanmeng core members who accompanied them, all stayed outside.

"Master Ye, you are finally here."

Seeing Ye Fan, Gu Changsheng's eyes were moist with excitement, and his voice was choked with sobs, "My father has been poisoned by the Time Poison, and he is almost dying."

Ye Fan waved his hand, glanced at the couch inside, his expression changed slightly, "How could this happen?"

It turned out that after Gu Tang took the elixir he got from the martial arts competition that day and brought it back to the Red Tiger Territory, his internal injuries were indeed mostly healed!

But the good times did not last long. Just a few days later, Gu Tang was poisoned by the Time Poison again. His condition got worse day by day, but the person who poisoned him has not been found yet.

There is still no clue as to how the other party poisoned him...

"The poison of time?"

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and immediately walked towards the couch.

After some investigation, he nodded slowly, "This poison corrodes the functions of human organs and accelerates aging, just like the passage of time. It can indeed be called the poison of time."

"Although this poison is overbearing, it is not without a cure. At least I still have a way to remove it."

"It's just that Commander Gu has been poisoned deeply. The poison has spread to his limbs, bones, internal organs, and even for me, it will take a long time to get rid of it, at least an hour..." (End of this chapter)
