After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 209 Parting ways

After sending Ye Yangzong back to the Ye family, Ye Hongxia asked Ye Yangzong: "What do they want to do by arresting you?"

"The emperor knows my identity, but he arrested me because he wanted to find you."

Ye Hongxia thought to herself: Qi Wushuang did not lie.

"Young Master, since Qi Wushuang already knows that you are hiding in the Ye family, there is no need for you to stay in the Ye family any longer.

Where do you want to go next?"

Ye Yangzong's face was gloomy: "Do I have to hide like this for the rest of my life?"

“Now it seems that Qi Wushuang has no intention of annihilating the Ye family, so there is no need for you to hide anymore.

But I can’t appear before everyone as the general’s son.”

"Aren't you going to help me revive the Ye family?"

Ye Hongxia was silent for a long time and said, "Young Master, I just hope you can live safely."

Ye Yangzong smiled sinisterly: "You are obviously capable of killing Qi Wushuang, why don't you kill him?"

"If I kill Qi Wushuang, will you be able to become emperor?"

"At least the world will be in chaos, and then I'll have a chance."

Ye Hongxia felt chilled when she heard that Ye Yangzong didn't care whether the world would be in chaos.

"You don't really think that with the money left behind by the Ye family, we can restore the glory and honor of the Ye family, right?"

"Why not?

We can use the money to recruit soldiers and horses. What can't we do with soldiers and horses?

Didn't the Qi Dynasty also rely on troops to conquer the country?"

"The Qi Dynasty was indeed conquered by relying on military forces, but it relied not only on the military forces of the Qi and Ye families, but also on the support of many small and medium-sized families."

"Then we can also seek support from other families."

Ye Hongxia straightened her back:

"The most powerful families today are the Qi, Zhuang, Yuwen, Chu, and Shui families. Which one do you think would be willing to help you?"

"Aren't there hundreds of small and medium-sized families? We can seek their support."

“There are hundreds of small and medium-sized families, but they are all dependent on the major families.

Do you think they are stupid or crazy to abandon their existing family and find someone with no foundation to rely on?"

Ye Yangzong had a gloomy face and said nothing.

"Young Master, those small and medium-sized families were willing to join the Qi and Ye families in their fight for the throne because they were powerful and had the potential to win.

Events have proved that their choice was right.

But now, the Ye family is not as powerful as before, and even the smallest aristocratic family cannot compete with us. How could any aristocratic family come to us?"

"Which aristocratic family didn't develop slowly from nothing?"

“You’re right, but it took the Ye family nearly two hundred years to develop from an ordinary family into a large-scale family, and another hundred years to develop into a top-tier family.

It is absolutely impossible for you to develop the Ye family into a first-class family in a short period of time."

"Since I can't develop the Ye family into a first-class family in a short period of time, then I will take another path."

Ye Hongxia was alert: "What do you want to do?"

"Since you are unwilling to help me and my affairs are not yours to take care of, you only need to hand over the wealth of the Ye family to me."

Ye Hongxia looked at Ye Yangzong without saying anything.

Ye Yangzong smiled sinisterly:

"You don't want to give all the Ye family's wealth to that bastard you gave birth to, do you?"

When Ye Hongxia heard the word "bastard", she got angry.

If it was Ye Wuwei who spoke to her like this, Ye Hongxia would have slapped him long ago. But the person in front of her was the one General Ye asked her to protect, so Ye Hongxia could only endure it.

Ye Hongxia calmed down her emotions and said in a calm tone:

“Young Master, you’re overthinking it.

I never thought of giving the Ye family's wealth to Wuwei, nor did I tell Wuwei about such a fortune.

If you don't believe me, I will give you the treasure map right now."

"Then give it to me now, and don't worry about the rest later."

Ye Hongxia felt a little chilled, but for some reason she also felt secretly relieved.

Ye Hongxia took out the treasure map she carried with her, "Young Master, this is for you."

Ye Yangzong took the treasure map and looked at it for a few seconds, "Could it be fake?"

"The seal is stamped with the Ye family's seal. You have it, so you can check its authenticity."

Ye Yangzong put away the treasure map:

“You must remember your identity, you are just a servant of the Ye family.

If it weren't for the Ye family, you wouldn't have been able to achieve what you did later."

Ye Hongxia really wanted to slap Ye Yangzong in the face.

If the Ye family had not suffered misfortune, Ye Yangzong was just a bastard, how could he dare to speak to her, a general with honors, in such a tone.

However, General Ye only left behind two seedlings, and the other one not only refused to acknowledge the Ye family, but also has not recognized her to this day.

That’s why this seedling is “precious”.

"Don't worry, young master. I have never seen a treasure map, nor did I know that the Ye family left behind any wealth."

Ye Hongxia had a bad temper to begin with, and she had only endured it in the past because of Ye Yangzong's status. But after being humiliated by Ye Yangzong today, she couldn't help but say a few words from her heart:

“It’s true that I was born a slave in the Ye family, but I left slavery long ago.

All my achievements in the army were earned by my own sword and gun, and have nothing to do with anyone else.

I believe I have lived up to the general's trust by protecting you until now. For this, I even lost my own son.

Now that you have grown up and have your own ideas, I will give you the treasure map and I will no longer care about you."

Ye Yangzong's face couldn't be any gloomier: "You want to part ways with me?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. We can part ways amicably now, which is better than becoming enemies in the future."

"You conscienceless dog slave, get out of here."

Ye Hongxia left Ye Yangzong's yard and said to the servant who served Ye Yangzong:

"From now on, the young master will be under your care. I am leaving now."

These servants were the remnants of General Ye that Ye Hongxia had found, and Ye Hongxia had spent a lot of effort on this.

After saying that, Ye Hongxia disappeared in a few moves.

Ye Hongxia went to the palace. She didn't owe Ye Yangzong anything, but she owed Ye Wuwei.
