Coercion by the Massive Troops

At the Ye Castle.

The Second-rank Prince of Donglin's troops had the Ye Castle surrounded for the past twelve days. Liu Kan and Liu Xun still did not manage to see the supposedly powerful figure who would show up to save the clan from their doom. Yin Mengtian, however, showed up with his three thousand men to save the Ye Clan though he was eventually forced into retreat. Luckily, Yin Mengtian was a key member of the government, which meant neither Liu Kan nor Liu Xun could take his life and could only drive him away.

"Old Yin is such a dumb*ss. So what if he owed the kid a favor? Ye Chen probably died in the Sunken Jade Tower some time back. I can't believe he intends to see his promise through," Liu Kan complained. If it were not for the fact that he was afraid of the Great Emperor Mingwu, who so happened to have Yin Mengtian's back, they would have disposed of him long ago.
