Chapter 467: Give an Excuse
Ye Chong is not a child, he is an important official who followed Ye Tiannan in exile for more than ten years, he has seen many treacherous and turbulent things in the court, how can he believe Ye Tiannan's words? He knelt straight in front of Ye Tiannan all of a sudden.
"Master Xiang, why is this so? Why bother to come here? If General Gao wins, Master Xiang can go and plan for him. With his extensive contacts in this world and his ability to deploy the world, General Gao will definitely be able to play a more important role in this world. If General Gao is defeated, the Prime Minister can follow the example of ten years ago, and try his best to make a comeback.”
Ye Tiannan shook his head slightly: "Today is not ten years ago. If Gao Yuan loses, the Ye family will lose. If Gao Yuan wins, I can't go to him. Isn't this a predicament and a dilemma? "
Ye Chong's eyes were sour, and he said slowly, "If General Gao wins, is Ye Xiang trying to give General Gao an excuse?"
Ye Tiannan smiled slightly, "Ye Zhong, you've made progress! Now that you understand what I mean, why bother talking, take Ye Feng with you. With your talent and ability to use people far and wide, when you get to him, it's far better than you following me. There really will be a day when Ye Feng still needs your care!"
Ye Zhong stopped talking, knocked his head three times, stood up, wiped away his tears, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness. He was a straightforward person, and seeing that Ye Tiannan had made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him. .
Seeing Ye Zhong disappear and the door closed, Ye Tiannan turned his head, and under the faint moonlight, tears rolled down the face of Ye Shi who was still closing his eyes beside him.
"Are you awake?" Ye Tiannan sighed, "Have you heard everything?"
Ye opened her eyes and looked at Ye Tiannan, "Master, are you really going to do this?"
Ye Tiannan was silent for a while, "Back then, the Great Zhou ruled the world and entrusted countless feudal vassals. Over the years, countless small countries were destroyed. Only then did the Seven Kingdoms rise up in the world, like the Ying family of Qin, who used to be just a subject of the Great Zhou, or that The most remote and most inconspicuous courtier. But after a hundred years, what do you think? Now the Ying family is already the largest country in the world?"
"Master, do you want Gao Yuan to follow Qin Guoying's example?"
"Gao Yuan said something to me. At the time, I thought it was treasonous, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense. The prince and general, would you rather have a kind?" Ye Tiannan said with a smile: "The Qin family can rise in the frontier, and now However, if he intimidates the six nations, maybe Gao Yuan can do the same. Just look at the chess pieces he dropped inadvertently. You can see that Gao Yuan is indeed interested in this world. If so, I will give him another push and become Whether he succeeds or not depends on his fortune! If he succeeds, I, the Ye family, will surely prosper for another hundred years. Madam, this is a big gamble, but for us, it is a gamble with almost insignificant bets now. No matter whether we win or lose in the future, we will make money!"
Ye Shi didn't speak,
Just turn around. Hugging Ye Tiannan tightly, "Since the master has made up his mind, I will naturally accompany you."
"I'm just sorry for you." Ye Tiannan apologized.
"Master, what are you talking about? We are husband and wife, so we are naturally a husband and wife. The husband sings and the wife follows. We live and die together."
The two, who were no longer sleepy, simply sat on the bed and hugged each other, Xu Xu reminisced about the past decades ago, and Ye's face radiated bursts of brilliance. After being married to Ye Tiannan for so many years, how did she ever have such a time? Although she knew that time was running out, but at this moment, she felt extremely happy in her heart.
Time passed in the chatter between the husband and wife, until there was a shocking exclamation outside, and the two looked at each other and smiled. They didn't sleep all night, but they didn't feel tired at all, but a little excited.
The door was slammed open at this moment.
Di Choufei stood by the door, looking at Ye Tiannan and his wife with calm expressions, their eyes were wide open, there was both shock and bewilderment in their eyes, but most of them let out a long breath, The tense muscles relaxed at this moment.
He bent down and bowed deeply to the two, "Ye Xiang, ma'am, I'm really sorry to bother you."
Ye Tiannan looked at him, "You are?"
Di Choufei was still bent over, and the look on his face became more humble, "I am the commander of Yanling Guard stationed in Tianhe County, Di Choufei."
"So it's Commander Di!" Ye Tiannan smiled, "What happened outside? Did Commander Di lose his composure?"
Di Choufei straightened up and looked at Ye Tiannan, but the expression on his face was a little strange, it seemed that he was a little angry, a little surprised, and a little puzzled. The mixture of various expressions made his face look extremely exciting.
Ye Tiannan strode to the balcony in the outer room, and when he came into view, his expression changed slightly. No wonder Di Choufei lost his composure. In the yard, in the hallway, and by the gate, Yan Lingwei, who was escorting him one by one. Limp to the ground.
"They're all dead?" He turned to look at Di Choufei, but there was a hint of gloating on his face.
"Only a few people died, and the rest were all stunned!" Di Choufei's face flashed with anger.
"It seems that without Ning Zecheng, you Yan Lingwei is getting worse every day!" Ye Tiannan chuckled, his words were full of sarcasm.
Di Choufei's face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to answer. At this moment, there was a sound from the stairs, and a spy from Yan Lingwei rushed over and whispered something in Di Choufei's ear.
Di Choufei's face changed drastically, and he turned to look at Ye Tiannan, "Ye Xiang, there is something that I don't understand at the end, please ask Ye Xiang to clarify."
"Please speak!" Ye Tiannan spread his hands.
"Since your son has already left, why did Ye Xiang stay here? If Ye Xiang wanted to leave last night, I believe no one here can keep you!" Di Choufei was really puzzled.
"Feng'er isn't here anymore?" Ye Tiannan pretended to be surprised, "He actually disappeared from the surrounding guards of Yan Ling? It seems that Master Di needs to give me an explanation."
Di Choufei looked at Ye Tiannan, who was somewhat proud, and sighed: "Ye Xiang, those little people like us don't understand the things in the court, and we just follow orders. Ye Xiang is a big man, why wait for these little people with me?" Xiami is angry, I think it was General Ye Chong who came here last night, right? General Ye is really good. I just received the official document to arrest General Ye this morning, but General Ye has already been here. Since he can pick him up Young Master, naturally I can take you away, why don't you go?"
Ye Tiannan restrained his smile, "Although you are not a big official, you are a sensible person. If I don't go, there is a reason why I don't go. As for Ye Zhong and the others, you don't have to bother to hunt them down. You can't find them." .”
Di Choufei nodded when he heard Ye Tiannan's frank admission, "Since Ye Xiang won't leave, I don't worry. Ye Xiang is a big shot, so I think it will be fine if I go to Jicheng. In that case, the last general will leave Well, the people who collapsed in a yard have to deal with the aftermath."
"Commander Di, please." Ye Tiannan flicked his sleeves, turned and entered the room.
Di Choufei stared at the closed door panel for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
"Commander!" A subordinate came over, "Three of them died, and the others were either fainted by the smoke, or beaten half to death, tied up like zongzi."
Di Choufei said coldly: "My thirty-year-old mother is a child, our Yan Lingwei is the best at this, but he is treated like a man, and he is ashamed to death. Is Xu Yanmao dead? "
Xu Yanmao is the official from the headquarters of Yan Lingwei in Jicheng, responsible for escorting Ye Tiannan and his party.
"No."
"The future of immortality is also over." Di Choufei shook his head, "Wake them up and call a doctor if they should."
"Commander, do you want to report to Princess Ji and call the army to search for it?"
Di Choufei looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath, "The report is to be reported, but the search and arrest, what a fart! The one who attacked was Ye Zhong, who was that, who followed Ye Xiang for ten years? A man who has been around for several years, not to mention his other abilities, is the ability to hide and escape. Among us Yan Lingwei, no one can match him. How can we find him? Besides, as long as Ye Xiang is still there, Ye Feng can escape. Just run away, what a big wave a child can make."
"Understood, Commander!"
Seeing the backs of his subordinates leaving in a hurry, Di Choufei clenched his fists, and then turned his head to look at the closed door upstairs. But why did I bother myself? Originally, I wasn't responsible for this matter. It's good to do what I can to save face. Gao Yuan has done a great job for Dayan, but now he has been poured a basin of dirty water, and he has no help If you are capable, you don’t need to make things worse. Besides, Gao Yuan is not necessarily defeated. If he wins, when he meets him again in the future, he will have many options. If he loses, a little Ye Feng and a bereaved dog Ye Zhong, It also became no big deal.
A day later, Xu Yanmao turned pale and took Ye Tiannan and his wife on the road again, but this time, in addition to Yan Lingwei's people, he also recruited a thousand-man army from Tianhe County to surround him.
Even if Ye Tiannan was successfully escorted to Jicheng, his future would be over, and he was very clear about this.
Just as Ye Tiannan was on his way to Jicheng, in the depths of the grassland, an offensive and defensive battle was in full swing.
Tan Feng devoted all he had this time, and transferred all the 20,000 Yan Kingdom's standing army that was repaired in the big camp on Niulan Mountain, and countless siege equipment was also transported. Under Jishi City, Tan Feng has more than 30,000 troops under his command. The number, and the general commanding the battle was replaced by Hu Yanchao.
Hu Yanchao was guarding the Liaoning Guards. The standing army of the Yan State with less than 10,000 people withstood the attack of the 70,000 to 80,000 Donghu troops. He was naturally a man of great experience in defending the city. Those who are good at defending the city are also good at attacking the city. Tan Feng knew this very well, so as soon as Hu Yanchao arrived, Tan Feng handed over the command to Hu Yanchao.
He only has one request, to break through Jishi City.
