After about a minute, the fighting outside the camp gradually subsided, and then Ye Tie's concerned voice came from outside.

"Master, it's safe outside, how are you?"

Hearing Ye Tie's voice, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved, put down the wild goose wing knife he was holding tightly in his hand, and whispered: "I'm fine, you can come in and talk!"

After receiving the order, Ye Tie immediately walked into the camp. However, when he saw Pei Zhixiu in the camp, a look of surprise appeared on his rough face, but he soon returned to normal, kneeling on one knee.

Kneeling in front of him, he lowered his head and said in shame:

"Ye Tie failed to protect him well and the young master was frightened. Please punish him!"

Although he was very angry in his heart, he looked at Ye Tie, his number one confidant and top thug, looking so self-blaming and ashamed.

The anger in Ye Mingsheng's heart had somewhat subsided. After pondering for a while, he did not rush to punish him, but asked:

"What happened just now?"

"Two men in black started fighting outside the young master's camp. When they saw us coming, they both wanted to escape. One of them ran very fast, but we didn't stop him. As for the other one,

He ran a little slower and was surrounded by us. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, this person took poison and committed suicide!"

"In addition, I just found out that Yang Biao, who was in charge of the night watch tonight, has been killed. He was killed by slitting his throat with a knife. The murderer is very experienced. It should be the man in black who escaped." Ye Tie, who was kneeling on the ground, killed him.

Everything he discovered was reported to Ye Mingsheng.

After listening carefully to what Ye Tie said, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a while. Just when Ye Tie was feeling a little uneasy and didn't know how his young master would punish him, Ye Mingsheng walked up to him and pulled him kneeling on the ground with his own hands.

Helped him up.

"Since this is your first offense this time, I will fine you three months' salary and give it to Yang Biao's family as extra compensation. Don't let it happen again!" Looking into Ye Tie's eyes, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:

"Master..."

Ye Tie, who had been prepared to be severely punished, was suddenly filled with emotion when he heard that he was only fined three months' salary.

For someone like him who needs to take money home to support his wife and children, the punishment of three months' salary fine is not light, but considering the mistakes he made this time, Ye Mingsheng can be considered very generous.

Ye Mingsheng patted Ye Tie's shoulder heavily and walked out of the tent without giving him a chance to stir up emotions. He wanted to see who wanted his life!

As Ye Mingsheng walked out of the camp and stood outside the camp, the four Ye brothers immediately became very conscious and knelt on the ground and said in unison:

"Master, please punish me!"

After lifting the four people up one by one, and using both kindness and power, Ye Mingsheng had the energy to observe the body of the man in black lying on the ground.

The owner of this corpse didn't look very old, only in his early twenties, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, and his palms were covered with calluses and scars from sword practice.

There is no doubt that this person is a good martial arts practitioner. If Ye Tie and others hadn't been surrounded by many and many, he might not have fallen here.

A trace of black blood overflowed from the corner of the corpse's mouth. It was certain that there was poison in his mouth. This man saw that the situation was not good. In order not to fall into the hands of his enemies, he simply chose to commit suicide and preserve his secret.

After careful observation for a while, Ye Mingsheng did not find any valuable insights. However, just when he was about to give up, Ye Mingsheng noticed that this person seemed to have traces of a tattoo on his wrist.

Discovering this, Ye Mingsheng immediately opened the sleeves of the corpse and saw that the tattoo on the wrist of the corpse was a small carp with a dark red color...

Seeing the appearance of this carp, Ye Mingsheng frowned at first, and then he seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly changed.

A few moments later, Ye Mingsheng's expression returned to normal. He put down the sleeve of the corpse, covered it with a carp tattoo, and then whispered to Ye Tie:

"Dispose of the body cleanly, don't make any publicity about what happened tonight, let it rot in your stomach, and don't let others know!"

Although he was a little surprised by Ye Mingsheng's reaction, since Ye Mingsheng had already made his decision, Ye Tie naturally had no objections and nodded and followed the order.

After explaining to Ye Tie, Ye Mingsheng, who was in a very heavy mood, returned to the camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he was so heavy-hearted that he slipped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Pei Zhixiu, who was staying in the tent,

With quick eyesight and hands, he quickly caught him.

"What happened?"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng so distracted, Pei Zhixiu frowned slightly and asked with concern:

Ye Mingsheng waved his hands after hearing this and sat on the chair without saying a word.

Although she didn’t know why Ye Mingsheng was so abnormal, Pei Zhixiu, who was ice-snowy and smart, also understood that Ye Mingsheng must be in trouble. She was worried about Ye Mingsheng, so she did not leave, but stood beside Ye Mingsheng, quietly

to accompany this man.

At this time, Ye Mingsheng didn't notice Pei Zhixiu's existence at all. He was immersed in his own thoughts.

Although it was only the first time I saw this kind of carp tattoo, if Ye Mingsheng saw it correctly, this kind of tattoo should be the symbol of certain tribes in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan is an important member of the great Zhou Dynasty. His ancestors built meritorious deeds on horseback and passed it down to Xu Zhaojie's generation. It has been more than six generations and more than 100 years ago. The foundation is very deep.

Precisely because the family tree has deep roots, the Xu family generals of Zhenyuan Hou have accumulated a number of armed tribes loyal to their family over the years.

Most of these armed groups constitute the personal guard battalion of Xu Zhaojie, the current Marquis of Zhenyuan, who is also the current head of the Xu family and the commander of the third-rank Xuanwu Army.

In Ye Mingsheng's memory, when he was in Luo'an, he once drank with his military colleagues and overheard a drunk man talking about the Xu family tribe that Xu Zhaojie brought to the army, and they would have a carp tattooed on their wrists.

At that time, Ye Mingsheng didn't pay much attention to this information and threw it behind him. When he saw the tattoo on the assassin's wrist, he suddenly thought about it...

After realizing that the assassin who died at the hands of Ye Tie and others might be Xu Zhaojie, Ye Mingsheng was honestly not surprised. Ye Mingsheng had already expected it before he started the surprise attack on Liu Jing. Xu Zhaojie didn't
