I really became a king.

Chapter 394: Prince, would you like to call more brothers?
At dusk, the entire town within the Eastern Demon Realm suddenly became quiet. The originally bustling crowd disappeared, leaving only teams of ferocious soldiers roaming the streets.

Normally, at this time, the streets were the busiest, with vendors and shops bustling about, and the noise of children, women and children shouting and clamoring, but now all of that is gone, and all the streets have become empty.

As for the ferocious-looking guards on the street, they were the personal soldiers of Ye Xiangtian, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Demon Realm. Perhaps they were frightened by the fierce reputation of Prince Yi, Jiang Yi. Although these guards had ferocious expressions and behaved in an arrogant manner, they did not do anything to disturb the public.

Originally, Jiang Yi wanted to hold the "welcoming banquet" in Chenxiang Courtyard, but Ye Xiangtian disagreed and specifically requested that it be held in the branch courtyard of Prince Yi's Mansion, which was formerly Chi Mansion.

Many people knew the intention behind this, but no one dared to make the decision, so they could only send a fast horse to Kongtong to ask for instructions again.

Jiang Yi was originally planning to set off for Chenxiangyuan. After hearing the news, he didn't care and nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, it's easier to invite the gods than to send them away. Once they move into the villa, I'm afraid they won't move out again." Ding Ren said worriedly.

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. They won't be staying here for long anyway."

Ding Ren nodded repeatedly and said no more.

"How is An Hu's preparation going?" Jiang Yi suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, all the An Hu are in place. Everything that happens within a ten-mile radius of the meeting place will be under the An Hu's eyes." Ding Ren replied in a low voice.

He clenched his fists tightly in secret. After the last major internal reorganization, the entire Anhu team had been holding their breath. Now the opportunity had come.

The prince entrusted this important task to An Hu. He must seize this opportunity to completely establish An Hu's position in the Prince Yi's Mansion.

Jiang Yi nodded and warned: "Everything must be done in secret, remember not to alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. For this matter, the entire Dark Tiger had already lurked in the prairie several months ago. They all had perfect cover identities. Refusing will not attract other people's attention."

Ding Ren was full of confidence. After Prince Yi's Mansion took control of the Western Frontier Demon Realm Pass, the two major underground intelligence agencies of Prince Yi's Mansion were officially separated.

Fuquan's "Shadow Pigeon" was responsible for all intelligence activities east of the Demon Realm Pass, including the four central dynasties, while his "Dark Swan" lurked in the vast grassland west of the Demon Realm Pass.

Tonight's operation is the first major operation after An Hu infiltrated the prairie, and no accidents must occur.

"Okay, go get ready."

Seeing that Ding Ren was feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Jiang Yi knew that he was anxious to personally arrange and organize tonight's operations, so he smiled and waved his hand.

"Then I'll take my leave." Ding Ren said with a bow.

Then he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Your Highness, An Ayi wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he wanted to be transferred to the Demon Realm Pass..."

At this point, fearing that Jiang Yi had forgotten this person, he added, "It's An Ayi who manages the farm in Dacun, Huangjiaowai."

An Ayi? Jiang Yi asked in confusion: "Why does he suddenly want to come to Demon Realm Pass?"

Naturally, he would never really forget this brother-in-law whom he could not recognize openly.

"He means he wants to join An Hu..." Ding Ren explained in a low voice.

Jiang Yi looked at Ding Ren suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "How could he know about An Hu's existence?"

Noticing Jiang Yi's displeasure, Ding Ren's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He knew that he seemed to be being too smart again, so he could only answer carefully and truthfully:

"I see that he is very smart and capable, so I usually assign him some unimportant tasks... He must have noticed the existence of Dark Tiger, so he proposed to officially join Dark Tiger."

Jiang Yi stared at Ding Ren for a while, until his back was soaked, then he asked, "Is it just An Ayi?"

His words were not aimless, because as far as he knew, the personnel in the Dark, especially the peripheral personnel, were all family members. There were many couples or even whole families who were Dark's intelligence personnel.

"Only... only An Ayi."

Ding Ren sensed Jiang Yi's strong dissatisfaction, and his speech began to stutter.

When he was working as a manager at Dacun Farm, he knew that his own prince valued An Ayi very much. Although he didn't know why, with the intention of understanding his prince's intentions, he also took great care of An Ayi in private.

After he officially founded An Hu, because he had been to Dacun Farm before and was familiar with the people there, he developed Dacun Farm into a secret base of An Hu.

An Ayi, who took over the position of manager of Dacun Farm, naturally came into contact with some confidential matters and noticed the existence of Darkhu.

A few months ago, the entire Prince Yi's Mansion evacuated the Dali Imperial Capital, and more than 90% of the Anhu personnel also came to Western Xinjiang. An Ayi could no longer sit still, so he took the initiative to contact him.

"Immediately make him sever all ties with An Hu!" Jiang Yi said without any doubt.

"Yes!" Ding Ren did not dare to hesitate and immediately bowed in response.

He became even more curious about the relationship between An Ayi and his own prince. What kind of relationship was it that made his own prince care so much about the other person's safety.

He had already sensed that the reason why the prince did not allow An Ayi to enter Anhu was actually to protect him. After all, Anhu roamed in the darkness all day long, living a life of danger and was in danger of losing his life at any time.

"Also, immediately erase all traces of any contact between An Ayi and An Hu!"

After saying that, he looked at Ding Ren again and said in a serious tone: "Remember, An Ayi's family must not be in any danger!"

Ding Ren gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed hurriedly in response.

Seeing Ding Ren's panic, Jiang Yi didn't know what happened, but he didn't scold him. He just said:

"Find a way to sever all ties between Dacun Farm and Prince Yi's Mansion, and then give it to An Ayi."

"Yes."

Seeing that his prince was silent, Ding Ren remembered another thing and could only bite the bullet and continue: "Prince, there is one more thing... Uncle Liu Guangqiu from Dacun has arrived at the Demon Realm Pass..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the cold gaze of his own prince. Ding Ren's heart skipped a beat and he explained, "Prince, I really don't know about this matter. Since leaving Dacun Farm, I have only had some contact with An Ayi, and have no contact with this Uncle Liu..."

"I know this because I saw him on the street at noon today. He looked exhausted and must have just arrived at the Demon Realm."

Jiang Yi nodded, believing Ding Ren's words, and then asked: "Why did he suddenly come to the Demon Realm Pass?"

"I asked around and found out that he was here to do business."

Jiang Yi was stunned. He had given them a lot of wealth in the past, so why did they travel thousands of miles to do business? Did they squander it all?
As if he had guessed Jiang Yi's doubts, Ding Ren answered carefully: "An Ayi's family has lived a prosperous life in the past two years. I also asked around and found out that the reason why Uncle Six came to the Demon Realm to do business was to earn a fortune for his son."

Jiang Yi felt a little complicated and asked, "Has he been bullied in the Demon Realm Pass?" "Don't worry, Your Majesty. After I found out that Uncle Liu appeared in the Demon Realm Pass, I have been sending people to secretly look after him."

Jiang Yi pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "Forget it. Go and make arrangements to transfer An Ayi to Western Xinjiang, and at the same time find a way to get Liu Guangqiu and his family to move to Western Xinjiang as well."

"After all, the imperial capital of Dali is no longer a safe place for us. Their family's relationship with Prince Yi's Mansion might be exposed. It would be safer for us to move to Western Xinjiang..." The last sentence seemed to be spoken to himself.

But Ding Ren remembered every word of it in his heart. Although he didn't know what the relationship was between this family and his prince, he knew that his prince definitely valued this family very much, but he didn't want this relationship to be exposed.

"Okay, go down and make the arrangements."

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and after Ding Ren left, he thought for a while alone, then got up and left Prince Yi's Mansion.

At the foot of the Eastern Demon Realm Pass, there is a branch courtyard of Prince Yi’s mansion.

Because of the arrival of the Ye brothers, the entire villa was heavily guarded and the entire street became empty.

But no matter how strict the security was, there was never a shortage of people joining in the fun. In a small teahouse a few hundred meters away from the villa, a group of people gathered, pointing and talking about the villa of Prince Yi's mansion in the distance.

One of the men, dressed as an old farmer, was talking with saliva flying all over the place. A group of people gathered around him, listening with great interest, laughing and making jokes from time to time.

“Hey, you haven’t seen the farm of Prince Yi’s Mansion in the imperial capital of Dali. It’s much more magnificent than this villa.” Liu Guangqiu really likes the feeling of being “the moon surrounded by stars”.

"Brother, you are just bragging. Can a farm be as good as a villa?" someone questioned.

"That's right. Besides, you can't even enter this imperial manor, so how can you know how magnificent it is?"

Liu Guangqiu was unhappy. Perhaps it was because he drank some hot tea, he felt sweat all over his body. He instinctively unbuttoned his shirt and put his hands on his hips.

But he immediately remembered his wife's instructions and held back.

That was what his wife said on the night when she learned that her son was still alive. Her meaning was that their son would be back soon, and she asked him to change his image of a second-rate person, otherwise it might affect his son's marriage.

Liu Guangqiu showed disdain on the surface, but he remembered his wife's words in his heart. Since then, he has been trying hard to change his bad habits, such as standing with his hands on his hips and swearing.

"If you don't believe me, then forget it. My son-in-law is the manager of that imperial farm. He has the final say in the entire farm. I go in and out of the imperial farm as if it were my own home. I've even slept there. How could I not know!" Liu Guangqiu said with his neck stiff.

What he didn't notice was that two figures, one old and one young, slowly walked past the door to which he had his back.

The two figures were Jiang Yi and Fulong in disguise. Originally, Jiang Yi planned to go directly to the villa of the palace, but he was worried about his father, so he made a detour and came to the back door of the villa.

Although I didn't see Liu Guangqiu's front, I could feel the vicissitudes of life from his slightly hunched back.

Jiang Yi learned from Ding Ren that the old man had been restless in the past two years and had been trying to accumulate property for his son again. Although his life was better than before, he looked much older.

However, he is full of energy and vitality.

Hearing Liu Guangqiu's boasting, Jiang Yi, who was walking past the door, smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he must bring this family to Xinjiang as soon as possible.

There are many people in the imperial capital of Dali who hate Jiang Yi to the core. After hearing this news, they may resort to trickery behind his back.

Only by coming to Xijiang can he protect his family under his wings.

And after knowing the true identity of this body, he no longer had so many concerns.

I was thinking about something in my mind, and when I looked up, I found that I had unknowingly appeared at the back door of the palace.

Jiang Yi took a look at the heavily guarded back door and felt happy.

He originally thought that the entire location of the palace had been taken over by Ye Xiangtian's personal soldiers, but he did not expect that the back door was still guarded by his own personal army camp.

"See you, my lord!"

Dozens of royal soldiers guarding the back door recognized Jiang Yi, who was only lightly disguised, and were about to salute him immediately, but were stopped by Jiang Yi.

"Why are you still here? Why don't General Ye's personal guards take over the back door?" Jiang Yi asked curiously.

A leader of the imperial army stepped forward and explained, "Your Highness, they were originally going to take over, but the camp owner refused and still asked us to guard the back door and the backyard."

“I don’t know about this back door. Several streets nearby are also guarded by our own military camp.”

Jiang Yi nodded with satisfaction, turned around and looked around, and found that the whole street was full of people from the Royal Army Camp. As for the camp owner mentioned by the other party, it was Wang Daniu who was in charge of the Royal Army Camp. Although there were no female relatives in the backyard of the Wangfu Villa, it was still a backyard after all. Jiang Yi and Mi Zhu would occasionally stay there for a few days, so naturally they couldn't let the other party set foot there easily.

Besides, the Ye brothers won’t be able to stay in Western Xinjiang for long, so it would be unnecessary for them to set foot in this backyard.

"Then let's go straight in from the backyard so that we can end the welcoming banquet earlier." Jiang Yi said to Fulong with a smile.

Fulong understood the meaning of Jiang Yi's words, smiled and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty is right, it should be so."

This welcoming banquet tonight was destined to be just a small episode. He didn't even know why his prince wanted to hold a welcoming banquet at this critical moment tonight.

But Fulong would not ask. He just needed to protect his own prince tonight.

"By the way, didn't they say Ye Xiangtian came with his female relatives? Where does Mrs. Ye live?"

Jiang Yi, who had one foot in the doorway, suddenly asked a question, which made the leader of the imperial army stunned. Then he remembered his own prince's reputation in this regard, and immediately understood, stepped forward and whispered:
"Your Highness, although Madam Ye did not move into the backyard, she lived in a small courtyard separated from the backyard by a wall. There was a secret door between the small courtyard and the backyard, and there was only one maid serving in the courtyard."

"The prince can enter the small courtyard without anyone noticing..."

Jiang Yi immediately smiled and said, "Very good, God is really helping me."

He was originally thinking about how to get close to Mrs. Ye and get the map of Luofu Cave Heaven, and now the opportunity has come.

The guard leader smiled knowingly again, then remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, we only have a few hundred men here, do you want to call more brothers to hold the fort?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "No, the more secretive this matter is, the better. There's no need to call so many people."

The head guard hesitated and whispered, "But if the truth comes out, we will be at a disadvantage if we are short of manpower..."

Fu Long, who was standing beside him, also spoke up and agreed, "That's right. We should inform the camp leader Wang to send more soldiers here. If we get caught...if we get caught, we can get away."

Jiang Yi thought so too. If he really found the Luofu Cave Heaven map at Madam Ye's place, they might have to fight to the death to snatch it. It would be better to have more manpower.
