The refugees rushed towards Yan Ye's home in a seemingly random manner. However, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao, who had experienced many battles in the battlefield, quickly realised that something was wrong among the group of refugees.

After Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao discovered this, Yan Ye also instantly found out.

”It seems that this matter is really someone else's doing.” Although Yan Ye said that, in his heart, he was almost certain that Ye Jingde was the one doing it.

Otherwise, at this time, who would come looking for trouble and deal with him?

It was just that he was extremely curious as to why Ye Jingde had such a network.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Ye also casually asked.

”Brother-in-law, did you forget that his birth mother's family used to have military power? It's said that her birth mother was the daughter of a rich businessman.”

Ye Shuo was clear about this matter. After all, he was Ye Jingxing's son, so he had a certain level of understanding towards Ye Jingde, the person his father was normally concerned about.

Ye Jingde's mother was a Shu daughter, and his maternal grandfather's family was a merchant. Although they were not as rich as Jiang Han's family, it was still possible for them to give some silver to Ye Jingde to raise a group of people.

Moreover, Ye Jingde had been unremarkable for so many years. No one knew what he had done in private during that time.

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, Yan Ye suddenly sighed: ”He really isn't a qualified monarch.”

Although Yan Ye did not say it clearly, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao both knew that he was referring to the Emperor Ruikang who had just passed away.

With regards to the Emperor Ruikang, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao didn't have much to say, so they could only listen to Yan Ye's complaints.

Even though they felt that Yan Ye was quite right.

However, this topic did not continue for long, because after the news from the rear courtyard arrived, Xu Yanhao took the initiative to bring a group of people to the rear courtyard, leaving the front of the group to Yan Ye and Ye Shuo.

There were a lot of refugees who tried to attack Yan Ye's family, but no matter how many refugees there were, they were still not a match for the people in Yan Ye's family's courtyard.

Not to mention rushing in to snatch something, even the door could not be pushed open.

As for trying to climb over the wall?

Yan Ye's group of brothers who had followed him for many years each had a thick wooden stick. As long as anyone stuck their head out, they would immediately and ruthlessly hit them.

There were also those who were about to successfully climb over the wall, but before they could get excited, the guards behind the wooden sticks quickly tied them up.

Yan Ye and Ye Shuo have not moved until now because they did not see Ye Jingde.

Even the people whom they had noticed to be no ordinary refugees did not rush to the front. Thus, they were not in a hurry at all.

Only, they still did not understand Ye Jingde. Ye Jingde was not in front, but in the backyard of Yan Ye's house.

Ye Jingde's main target was Xu Yanzhu in the first place, so he knew that Yan Ye cared about him and knew that Xu Yanzhu had a good relationship with him. If he could successfully kidnap or kill Xu Yanzhu, then he might be able to successfully drive Yan Ye crazy and make his Xu Family sad.

As for the Ye Jingxing in the palace …

If Yan Ye was crazy, Empress Dowager Hu would definitely be unhappy, and if Xu Yanzhu was really dead, then Xu Family was definitely unhappy, and if Xu Family was not happy, Xu Nuanwen would definitely not be happy either.

Even they were unhappy, but did Ye Jingxing still want to go with the flow?

Now, Ye Jingde no longer wanted to pull Ye Jingxing down, he only wanted to take revenge.

Why!

What right do you have to have a mother who watched you grow up, and my birth mother is not only nameless today, she was even sent to a mother and left behind?

Why are you able to ascend the throne and become the emperor? I will bow my head to you and serve you for the rest of my life.

Why are your family and friends so blessed, while my family can only secretly interact with me, and the ladies of the mansion look down on me?

Am I worse than you?

Can't I do these things well?

No, you didn't give me a chance at all!

It's that Royal Father who favors everyone, and completely disregards his son!

That's why I want revenge. If I don't have the chance to kill you, then I will make you miserable!

The current Ye Jingde still looked no different from before, but he had indeed become a madman.

Just when Xu Yanhao who was in the backyard felt that there were a lot of people in the backyard and his strength was a little off, Ye Shuo and Yan Ye who were in the front courtyard also realized that something was wrong.

Although the people in the front yard continued to rush in, the ones that actually charged in front were the refugees. Those who seemed to have problems didn't seem to have any intention of charging forward.

This discovery caused Yan Ye and Ye Shuo's hearts to tremble. After the two of them looked at each other, Yan Ye said to Ye Shuo with tacit understanding, ”This place is for you to handle, I will go and take a look at the back.”

Ye Shuo also understood what was going on, so he nodded his head, and watched as Yan Ye led the few of them and quickly left.

When Yan Ye quickly arrived at the wall of the backyard, he immediately noticed that something was amiss.

The people who wanted to rush into his house from the backyard were no ordinary refugees; they had undergone training.

Although it was inferior to Iron Eagle Brigade, it was at least not inferior to the other ordinary soldiers of the capital.

Most importantly, not only were there people among them, there were also many oil cans and weapons that Yan Ye did not have.

”Yanhao, I will bring my men to guard this place. You take your men and destroy those sparks.”

At this time, Yan Ye's backyard was already in a mess, the originally meticulously tended garden was already ruined. The most important thing was that even though there was a pond in the backyard, the oil cans that were thrown in had still burned quite a few things in Yan Ye's backyard.

When Xu Yanhao heard Yan Ye's words, he did not move. Instead, he paused and looked at Yan Ye: ”Brother-in-law, why don't you bring some people to extinguish the fire? You conveniently went to take a look at Big Sister Yanzhu, I think she will worry about you.” With that, Xu Yanhao rushed towards a man who had successfully climbed over the wall and entered the room.

Of course, Yan Ye could guess that Xu Yanzhu was worried about him, but this was her home, it was not right for her to let her two brother-in-law stay here and help her protect her.

Even though he thought that, with all the commotion happening outside, he still decided to go back and take a look at Xu Yanzhu. If both Xu Yanzhu and her grandmother were fine, then he would come and take Xu Yanhao to rest for a while.

Yan Ye thought well in his heart, and without further ado, he quickly arranged for his bros to protect Xu Yanhao, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard Empress Dowager Hu lived in.

Yan Ye made a few guesses in his heart, and felt that with his grandmother's personality, she should be able to keep Xu Yanzhu in her courtyard to protect him.

Yan Ye had guessed right, Xu Yanzhu was indeed being protected by Empress Dowager Hu in her own courtyard. When Yan Ye had just arrived outside the courtyard, he had already seen that many of the hidden secret guards had already turned dark and were standing guard at the sides of the courtyard.

Seeing that there were so many people guarding this place, Yan Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

When Yan Ye walked closer to the house, before Xu Yanzhu and Empress Hu could ask him, he took the initiative to tell him about the situation in the front and rear courtyard.

The most important thing was the situation in the backyard, as well as his guess that Ye Jingde most likely wanted to attack from the backyard. Entering the front yard was just a possibility.
