Chapter 316 I Owe You
Chapter 316 I owe you
"Don't worry, mom." Ye Zhaoyan comforted softly, "Grandpa is invincible and will definitely be able to return safely."
Ye Fugui sighed: "The southern border has been retreating continuously, and the situation is extremely bad. Your grandfather's instructions are so cautious this time, and I am worried." Her voice choked.
If you have a choice, even if you are idle at home, it will be better than taking risks.
The Ye family has made great achievements and no longer needs to rely on making achievements to prove anything.
Now the southern border is in crisis and the people are paying attention to it. The fate of going south cannot be retreated.
The monarch is unpredictable, and no one knows what disaster is hidden in front of him. The southern border is far away from Jindu, and even if something happens, the Ye family is far beyond reach.
Ye Zhaoyan deeply felt this concern.
Ye Zhaoyan looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "Mom, I heard that the Ji family in Jiangnan is not far from Nanjing Pass. I asked Ji Sinian to go south together and take the opportunity to send Mrs. Liu back to Jiangnan. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Ye Fugui raised his head in surprise, "Why didn't I expect it?"
She wiped away her tears and hope appeared in her eyes, "Sinian has outstanding martial arts skills and has always been grateful for his kindness. I think he should be willing to let him accompany your grandfather and let his mother rest assured."
Outside Yixi Pass, sixty miles away from Jindu, a simple carriage slowly stopped.
The driver was a thin, skinny middle-aged man. He had sweat on his forehead, obviously he had been very tired, and he still tried hard to sit straight, with a respectful and humble expression on his face, and could still drive the carriage forward steadily even on the bumpy mountain road.
The sound of horse hooves clattered for a while, and the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young man in black jumped out of the car quickly and presented a pass certificate to the soldiers guarding the city gate.
The commander hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take the letter. After carefully reading it, his face changed suddenly.
The carriage slowly drove past the city wall.
In the carriage, a man wearing a long crow gown sat cross-legged, with a heroic face and a sharp look. He looked like a trainee.
"Which family can be found out in Jindu?" The man closed his eyes and rested for a while, and spoke.
The young man lowered his head and replied, "I am incompetent. I just got the clue two days ago. The person who visited me found that the sender died in the south of the city. It is still unclear who took the action."
"So, is that family in the south of the city?"
The young man hesitated for a moment before saying, "The letter says that judging from the bloodstains of the corpse, he has been dead for a day, and it cannot be determined whether he died on the spot."
"Don't be anxious." An old voice came, and in the corner behind the two, an old man with gray hair moved slightly in his cloak.
The old man's voice was thick, as if he was well-read in poetry and books.
The two immediately had a respectful and humble expression on their faces.
"If it was really the one who took action, it would definitely not be in the south of the city."
"Old Yan." The young man wanted to speak but stopped.
"I have an idea about this." The old man waved his hand.
The young man stood up silently to salute and retreated, while the old man with his hunched back slowly stood up and opened the curtain of the car, "Let's go to Jindu first and then discuss it."
The wheels crushed the stone, raised a layer of dust, and soon disappeared from afar.
The next day, as soon as Ye Zhaoyan left the room, he saw a familiar man in blue shirt standing in the courtyard. He had handsome facial features and slender figures. He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at his window.
She thought about it all night last night, and she had already decided to quit and look for him, but she didn't expect that he would come to him first.
Instead, it made her feel a little at a loss.
"Jisinian." Ye Zhaoyan shouted.
Ji Sinian slowly turned his head, "I slept well last night?"
His tone seemed to have not changed, but the red silk in his eyes revealed the real turmoil in his heart.
I guess it was the person who didn’t sleep well last night.
Ye Zhaoyan pursed his lips and nodded softly.
Ji Sinian stared at her slender and thin shoulders and said after a long time, "I'll say goodbye."
Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, "You are leaving?"
"Yes." Ji Sinian looked calm, "I want to follow General Ye to go south."
Ye Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment: "Do you go back to Ji's house?"
Ji Sinian nodded, "Send his mother to Jiangnan first, and then follow the general to Nanjing Pass. When the war is over, go back to Ji's house."
"Nanjing Pass?" Ye Zhaoyan was shocked and asked, "You want to follow him to the battlefield?"
What she originally thought was to let Ji Sinian accompany him to Jiangnan. No matter how many there were, it would be different on the battlefield. He could provide timely assistance.
If you really want to follow the battlefield, wouldn’t you put yourself in danger?
Ji Sinian smiled: "What, can't you do?"
Ye Zhaoyan bit his lip and said nothing.
"Did you ever say when you and I confessed that I could take back the Ji family earlier?"
Ye Zhaoyan was stunned and didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped, but he still answered honestly: "Yes."
In her memory, she did say such things in order to prevent Ji Sinian from being tied to Ye’s mansion.
"Now, since there are ready-made opportunities to make achievements, why can't I seize it?"
Ye Zhaoyan didn't understand why: "This trip is very difficult and difficult. There is no eye on the battlefield. If you want to increase your bargaining chips, you don't have to take risks."
"Over the years, I have always wanted to make some achievements, but unfortunately, I have never had a chance. I have given up this idea and decided to keep a low profile. But now the Ye family is in big trouble, and now it is another opportunity. How can I ignore it?"
Ye Zhaoyan shook his head: "I always feel it's inappropriate."
She believed that with Ji Sinian's strength and the closeness between the Ji family and the royal family, she did not need to rely on Emperor Donglin.
Ji Sinian turned around and made her unable to see his expression, "Are you afraid that I will die?"
Ye Zhaoyan frowned: "I"
"Ye Zhaoyan," he interrupted her with a solemn expression, "You can rest assured that I have a way to save my life."
"It's not worth it for you to do this."
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. I just did what I wanted to do."
His words were calm, as if this sentence was taken for granted.
"Mrs. Liu's place," she wanted to persuade her again. Ji Sinian had cut off her words, "Mother has agreed. We have met each other, you only need to remember one sentence, this is what I owe you."
His expression was very serious, and a stubborn look flowed in his eyes, which made her feel as if she had seen another person in a trance.
He should have known or guessed something.
Ye Zhaoyan opened his mouth, but could not say a word of rejection.
Seeing the boy turn around neatly, she thought about it and finally said, "Take care."
Ji Sinian nodded, turned around and left, took two steps, and suddenly stopped, but did not turn around, "I will come back."
She was stunned and forgot to react for a moment.
He has always been rigorous, powerful, and invincible, but his tone at this moment has a little nostalgia.
What was he worried about?
Ji Si walked away as he walked away, leaving only a tall and hard back. The sunlight shone in from the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled and dark behind him.
Ye Zhaoyan looked at him in a daze until he disappeared around the corner, and then murmured: "Take care."
This time, the Ye family should have owed him.
