Ye Zhaoyan led his troops back to Nanjun and arrived again at the foot of the last out-of-the-border mountain.

From a distance, a tall figure stood in front of a wooden door, waiting in a daze.

It is the backbone of the Ye family, Ye Wenxuan, who the Ye family army cares about the most.

This time, Ye Wenxuan did not close his eyes and lay deep in the secret passage, but stood at the foot of the mountain to greet her.

"Grandpa." Ye Zhaoyan dismounted. When he got closer, he found that he was actually leaning on a crutch. At that time, the crutch was thin and small, and it was not very conspicuous when standing beside him, so people ignored it.

Her heart suddenly trembled. Even though he was so ill, he would not want to lose his pride as the number one general.

Looking closely, Ye Wenxuan's body was still tall, but he became thinner. His originally black temples actually had a few strands of grayish whiteness.

He looked up at her for a moment, "It's good if you're not injured..."

Ye Zhaoyan reached out to support Ye Wenxuan, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "Grandpa, why did you come out?"

Ye Wenxuan's eyes were gentle and kind: "You did a good job."

After saying that, he couldn't help but cough violently, coughing out blood, and his body swayed involuntarily for a few times. The tall shadow seemed a little thin in the bleak night wind.

Ye Zhaoyan was startled and hurriedly took out a veil to wipe the blood on his mouth, "Grandpa...your body..."

"No obstacle..." Ye Wenxuan slowed down, his old face flushed, but he smiled kindly, "Grandpa is old, I have lived long enough in this life..."

Listening to this, Ye Zhaoyan's nose suddenly felt sore and shed tears. "If my grandfather is sick, Zhaoyan will not be able to survive in peace!"

She knew in her heart that although this war was within Emperor Donglin's plan to expand his territory, it was caused by his own fuse.

As for why Princess Yingxin made things difficult for her, Ye Zhaoyan has not yet figured out the interests.

Could it be that he colluded with Emperor Donglin and deliberately used her as a fuss to attract Ye Wenxuan to go to war?

She couldn't believe such a coincidence.

Ye Wenxuan patted Ye Zhaoyan on the shoulder and signaled her to calm down, "If my grandfather is old, I can still help you block the gun for a few more years."

Ye Zhaoyan wiped away his tears and held Ye Wenxuan's cold palm, "How can it take for a few years? I want my grandfather to live a hundred years!"

"You kid..." Ye Wenxuan sighed helplessly, "It's not that easy to live a hundred years old! Grandpa doesn't have to worry about you, but you..."

He paused, his eyes soft: "Zhaoyan, you agreed to your grandfather. If you return to Jindu, you will find a good man soon."

Ye Wenxuan did not forget what Beiliang threatened him. Even if that thing was destroyed, as long as Ye Zhaoyan still existed in the world, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not use this plan.

Letting her get married earlier was just a lucky idea, and it was a helpless move after all.

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes changed rapidly, and it took him a long time to say slowly: "Zhaoyan understands."

She knew that Ye Wenxuan would never do meaningless things, nor would he restrain his offspring, or even force them to do things they didn't like.

What is his purpose in doing this?

Avoid danger?

still......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, if Zhaoyan is willing to take the Ye family army and grandpa to protect Tianlu, he will never marry for the rest of his life..."

Ye Wenxuan's eyes widened and looked at her in disbelief. Ye Zhaoyan had been so fond of dancing swords and guns since he was a child, and must have imagined fighting in all directions like a man.

However, he thought that as Ye Zhaoyan grew up, he would understand the way a woman should have, slowly forget the fantasies she had when she was young, and learn to be a stable woman in the room.

After all, he underestimated the child.

After a while, Ye Wenxuan sighed and said with some regret: "Zhaoyan, you did a great job in the Battle of Hexi. You have not lost the character of my Ye family army, and it has added to the glory of the Ye family. However, such glory cannot last long. A woman will eventually get married."

When he said this, his heart was broken.

"Grandpa, I..."

Seeing the light in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes disappear instantly, Ye Wenxuan's heart was sore, "Grandpa knows what you think. You have given my grandpa countless surprises since you were young, which is the pride of me, Ye Wenxuan. Now, everything my grandpa does is for you to be safe and happy."

Why doesn’t he want Ye Zhaoyan to be a brave general who fights on the battlefield like him?

Even if Ye Zhaoyan was willing to conceal his gender so much, continue to lead troops to conquer and maintain the glory of the next generation of the Ye family, he could never let go.

Tianlu is no longer the former Tianlu, and he dare not bet on a king like Emperor Donglin.

He didn't know how many plans would happen to the Ye family without his guard after he got old or even died of illness.

Ye Zhaoyan's identity as a woman has always been a flaw.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, he quietly lowered his eyelashes, covering up his complex emotions.

Last time Ye Wenxuan mentioned Hui Jindu’s marriage, she had touched her indirectly twice, but she failed to get the real answer.

Why is Ye Wenxuan in a hurry to let her get married?

It seemed like someone strangled Ye Wenxuan's throat and forced him to do so.

Could it be to protect her from being harmed by bad people?

This is the only reasonable explanation she can imagine.

"Zhaoyan, let's set off."

Ye Zhaoyan calmed down his spirit and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart: "Okay."

When it was dawn, Ye Zhaoyan led the Ye family army to wait in Nanjun for half a day, and finally met with Ye Zhengping. The two of them brought the army back to the court.

Halfway through the journey, when he was about to meet the officials sent by Emperor Donglin, Ye Zhaoyan and Ye Zhengping took Ye Wenxuan and the elite troops of the Ye family back to the city from the side road, leaving several deputy generals and others to continue on the official road.

In this way, the group of people who led the imperial edict of Emperor Donglin were stunned and missed it "unexpectedly" with the Ye family.

Before the group arrived in Jindu, the people in the city were already lined up in two groups. After waiting for a long time, they saw their cars coming and bowed.

"General Ye!"

"General Ye, I wish you a great victory to return!"

There was a constant noise of congratulations outside. After a long time, Ye Wenxuan leaned out of the carriage, bowed slightly to the surroundings, and said loudly: "With your care, Ye is ashamed of being aware of it. Ye is ordered by His Majesty to go to Hexi to fight and fail to take down Beijun. He feels guilty and hopes that all the fellow villagers will forgive me."

"General Ye doesn't have to do this. With several countries eyeing each other, how can Hexi Beijun easily be taken down? It's already a great achievement for you to take down Nanjun!"

Ye Wenxuan laughed when he heard this, "Ye just won a battle by chance."

The soldiers of the Ye family army are also honored.

Ye Wenxuan is the glory of the Ye clan and the most proud existence of the Ye family army. They also stood up for this great victory.

"What does General Ye say? This battle is beautiful, Your Majesty will definitely reward you a lot!"

"General Ye is too modest!" Everyone praised him repeatedly.

"Yes General Ye! We have also heard your legend. I heard that General Ye is brave and good at fighting. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

Amid the sound of admiration, the whole Jindu was very festive.

No one noticed that Ye Wenxuan, who had always rode into the city, stayed in the carriage all the way this time, and never rode his horse for a while, and even stood up.

No one noticed that General Ye’s sideburns had been much less black.

Ye Wenxuan laughed humbly under the constant congratulations. His eyes swept across everyone, and he knew it in his heart when he saw that there was no hypocrisy or flattery in everyone's expressions.

After the official road, he stopped moving slowly, waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and then headed towards Ye's mansion with many admiration and admiration.
