Dai Qiuyan found it difficult to write, but Ye Tao didn't. After chatting casually in the small building where a few ladies and ladies gathered together, Ye Tao drew a light-colored bust for Song Xiangjun with mature skills. Although it was just a combination of simple lines and color blocks, it fully showed the unique temperament of Song Xiangjun. The simple portrait completed in a few minutes won a lot of praise. Ye Tao's untouched explanation also caused bursts of laughter. He said: "Compared to women, men are more likely to discover the beauty of women."

Before he returned to his place where he settled in Yuhang, a guard who had originally stationed in the courtyard where he settled came to report that Chen Kai was arrested by Chunnan Imperial Guards and is now in the dungeon of the Imperial Guards' Mansion.

Speaking of which, because there were too many things to consider, Ye Tao forgot about Chen Kai. Although Chen Kai's identity is quite special, Ye Tao really didn't take such a character too seriously. Since Chen Kai's identity is not known, Ye Tao did not take too much protection and surveillance measures against Chen Kai. In fact, Chen Kai himself felt very strange. Although he always had a guard or special battalion soldiers dispersed him far away when he went out. Instead of confining him, Chen Kai could enter and exit the courtyard where Ye Tao was packaged at will, which was really beyond his expectations. And Chen Kai naturally used such trust... or indulgence.

Chen Kai would run out every day, walk around the bustling Yuhang, occasionally sit in the restaurant and tea shop, and listen to various remarks in the middle of the market. He didn't have much money, but now he could even withdraw a pocket money from Ye Tao's account room that was not expensive, but was sufficient for shopping, drinking and tea. This kind of life without worrying about safety, not being entangled in various complex struggles, and not having to think about any complicated things made him feel very happy... Although it was indeed a bit boring. In these days, Chen Kai even had two occasions to participate in garden tours and other activities among Dongping scholars.

Of course, Chen Kai knew that his freedom had a prerequisite, that is, he could not try to escape. For the time being, he did not have such an attempt. It would be of no benefit to him from Ye Tao's control.

Today, when he was walking on the streets of Yuhang, when he turned around, Chen Kai suddenly found that the guard behind him who had said hello when he went out in the morning was gone. He didn't think he should get rid of that guy or be able to get rid of that guy, so he immediately turned around and went to find the guard. Unexpectedly, when he just stepped into a relatively secluded alley, he was blocked, and then a group of guys wearing Chunnan imperial guard uniforms carried him away...

Although the guard behind Chen Kai was good, he was indeed a hero who could not resist many people. He was blocked in the alley by a group of Chunnan Imperial Guards and knocked down and fainted. After Chunnan Imperial Guards kidnapped Chen Kai, he woke up from a kind passerby and rushed back to the mansion to report the situation. The guards who stayed there immediately came to inform Ye Tao as soon as they received the news. The importance of Chen Kai was self-evident. Ye Tao did not restrain Chen Kai, which was Ye Tao's self-talk, but it was another matter to let Chen Kai fall into the hands of others.

After the guard explained the situation clearly in a few simple words, Ye Tao asked: "How do you know that Chen Kai is in the Imperial Army Governor's Office?"

The guards reported that they received the news from Huo Dong. After arriving in Yuhang, Ye Tao took out 100,000 taels of silver and gave it to Huo Dong and Zhao Yan, asking them to distribute it, and thanked the guards who accompanied him all the way. Of course, Huo Dong received a considerable share in it. Although Huo Dong was not very high in his status, he could still find out such irrelevant news. On the way from Vanke Villa to Yuhang, Huo Dong had also talked to Chen Kai and had a good impression of this young man.

"Go to the Imperial Guards' Office." Ye Tao ordered calmly: "Send His Highness the Princess and Qiu Yan to the Qihai Trading Company branch. Immediately notify everyone, get ready for battle!"

"Yes!" The guard turned around and went to pass the order.

Ye Tao was obviously preparing to take back Chen Kai at all costs. This tough attitude seemed to have been expected by everyone, and Liu Yong did not even reveal any specific application.

The Imperial Guard in Chunnan was a short and fat old guy named Ma Kun. He was surprised to see Ye Tao rushing to the door. Although he was in Yuhang, Ma Kun was somewhat guilty.

"General Ma, please return the person to me. I won't pursue this matter." Ye Tao said bluntly.

Ma Kun smiled and said, "Jingluo Ye, what did you say?"

"Since I don't dare to kill my guards and destroy them, let me find out, and I want me to admit this matter like this? Do you think it's possible?" Ye Tao asked.

"Justice Ye, this man is a fugitive... Sir, you don't have to stand up for such a person, right?" Ma Kun said cautiously. Ma Kun had no reason and position to explain the situation in detail. However, he had no use to dominate Ye Tao. You know. If you really annoy Ye Tao, it would be a big trouble.

"Xiling fugitive. That's right. The enemy's enemy is my friend. I've said it clearly. This is the person I want to protect. You hand over the person now, otherwise things will not be that simple." Ye Tao's tone was already a bit threatening.

Ma Kun then suddenly realized that the person who told him that he had a special identity and Ye Tao would not make such a big deal. It was so unreliable. It hurts people. But Ma Kun had no intention of letting go, just not wanting to make things bigger. Now they are in the Chunnan Imperial Guards Governor's Office, just outside the palace. The Governor's Office has more than 2,000 military power at any time, and there are even more than 4,000 to 5,000 imperial guards and palace guards in the palace. Not far away, there are more than 10,000 people in the Yushan Camp that garrisons Yuhang. He felt that he had no reason to surrender to Ye Tao anyway.

But Ye Tao did not just stop the threat verbally. Just when he entered the Governor's Office, all the people in Dongping in Yuhang began to operate at high speed. Tan Weishi did not go to the branch of Qihai Trading Company but returned to the Dongping Mission. However, both the branch of Qihai Trading Company and the mission station, they immediately began to invite all Chunnan people in the range, and then began to prepare for battle very clearly. Ye Tao's yard began to be decorated in the entire army, and directly opened the team to head towards the Governor's Office of the Imperial Army, with distinctive clothes and armor, looking like they were ready to fight. The huge cavalry of hundreds of people galloped in combat formation on the thoroughfare of Yuhang, the scene of the people of Yuhang running in combat formations would probably leave an indelible impression on the people of Yuhang. However, the Dongping side, with a limited number of people, seems to have the biggest threat to Chunnan now from the fleet of Qihai Trading Company in the port.

All fourteen tiger-toothed ships forced their way out of the dock and entered the harbor, blocking the entire channel. The light and heavy crossbows of each door were filled with torsion springs and equipped with turbulence bombs. The targets targeted by these warships were not only Chunnan battleships in the port, but also towards the bustling streets behind the dock, and they meant to set fire to the city with a disagreement...

In a short time, everything was ready. Rumors immediately arose among the people of Chunnan who saw this strange scene. Dongping's reaction was too fast, as if he had undergone many coordinated drills, but in fact, everyone really didn't have the time to do this design and drill.

Ye Tao sat leisurely in the Imperial Guard's Office, not caring about the tense atmosphere around him. Ma Kun accompanied him nervously, and did not dare to really give up Ye Tao to do whatever he wanted. If he was really a high-ranking position or simply a small official who had nothing to do with a senior official like Ye Tao, it would be fine, but now his power is enough to know that Ye Tao is currently leading the key figure in the negotiations between the two countries... And the fact that the capture of Chen Kai today seemed to be a mess he had made. If he left at this time, it would be comfortable, but the consequences would not be something he could bear.

Chunnan imperial guards rushed in, came to Ma Kun and reported in a low voice before running out. Many imperial guards were very puzzled and angry. Why did this trouble-provoking guy dare to sit here so loudly, as if he was a bystander?

Ye Tao did not think he was a bystander, but he decided that Chunnan had something to ask for him now. He would definitely not allow the conflict to happen. Not to mention that he still had the truth now, even if it was his fault, Chunnan would not dare to say or do anything. And the more pressure he was now, the more room for his calm attitude to escape.

Ma Kun's face became more and more solemn and pale. When the horn of the Yushan Camp gathering soldiers was blowing not far away, the melodious and gloomy voice drifted into his ears. He finally couldn't help but jumped up and said to Ye Tao: "Ye Zhengluo, no matter what, if you have caused such a thing in Yuhang, is it really a fool to me, Chunnan, there is no one? Think about where you are now, this is the Chunnan Imperial Guard General's Office. There is really a conflict. Can you afford it? What do you want? Do you think I really don't dare to touch you?"

Ye Tao shrugged, and wondered if he could still drink his tea with peace of mind. Liu Yong and Guan Huan, who were standing behind Ye Tao, both laughed.

Then, a captain of the Chunnan Imperial Army ran in with a panic expression and reported to Ma Kun's ear: In order to prevent Ye Tao's guard from entering Zhuque Street, Yushan Camp had sent two thousand people to block it. The ships of Qihai Trading Company had raised the battle flags and the collision flags...
