Chapter 434: Asking for help
Liu Xinyue looked at Zhou Sisi's back with mixed feelings.
"She was my first love, I really didn't expect to meet her, it wasn't intentional for me. Ye Heng naturally felt her change and explained softly.
"I really want to say that I don't mind, but I don't know why, after seeing her, my heart is inexplicably uneasy. Actually, I'm not a selfish woman, I can accept other women, even if you marry three wives and four concubines, it's reasonable. But when I saw her, I was inexplicably flustered, and I felt that her existence was very dangerous to us!" Liu Xinyue said nervously.
Ye Heng hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't think too much, there will be no results between me and her." If it weren't for this chance encounter, there would be no intersection between me and her. Actually, I haven't thought about her for a long time, and I don't love her anymore, and time passes quietly, and the love between us also dissipates. Because I already have a woman who really loves me and is willing to spend my life with me, for Zhou Sisi, I am used to forgetting, even in my heart, I haven't remembered her for a long time, and my heart is no longer occupied by her. Xinyue, believe me, she has become a passerby in my life, and I will no longer have emotional entanglements with her. ”
"Ye Lang, don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of anything between you and her, I just feel that she is likely to hurt us, this is an inexplicable intuition, I don't doubt you!" Liu Xinyue explained.
"I'll be careful, okay, let's go inside, this is where I used to live, it is my first home, welcome to visit!" Ye Heng smiled.
When the word "home" came into Liu Xinyue's ears, she happily followed Ye Heng into the hut. The furnishings here are exactly the same as when Ye Heng was there, and a familiar feeling came to mind, Ye Heng fell back on the bed, stretched his waist, and couldn't help but sigh: "This bed is really comfortable!"
Liu Xinyue looked at Ye Heng, smiled lightly, then looked around, and took out a clean cloth and began to wipe around.
"No need to clean it, it's very clean and it's taken care of on weekdays. This is the old owner of Zhou specially left for me, I am really grateful for the love of the old owner. Ye Heng sat up and said to Liu Xinyue.
"Since it's your home, how can I leave it alone? You rest first, and I'll be fine for a while. Liu Xinyue did not stop and insisted on continuing to clean up.
"Okay, I'll clean up with you!" Ye Heng said and stood up to fetch water, and the two of them treated the already clean hut as if they were their own homes, making the already clean hut brighter and tidier. To be honest, Ye Heng rarely does this kind of housework, chatting with Liu Xinyue and working at the same time, his heart is full and calm.
At night, the two naturally slept together, Liu Xinyue looked at Ye Heng's eyes, and said softly: "Husband, tell me about the matter between you and Zhou Sisi, I want to hear it!"
"Actually, there is nothing to talk about, once I thought that the unforgettable feelings, once they drift away with the wind, let it be left without a trace! Whether it is happy and sad or moved to tears, all must be thrown away. From the day it was broken, I shouldn't be addicted to it, especially after I have you, there is no place for her in my heart, and the love I miss in my heart is you, as well as Sister Jun, Qingshuang and Snow Wolf. With you, it's enough. Ye Heng said eloquently.
"You are really ruthless, can you really forget her so cleanly in your heart?" Liu Xinyue said while scratching Ye Heng's nose.
"How can I forget everything, it's just that whether it's now or in the future, she is no longer a part of my life, if I have to entangle, whether it's for her, or for me, or even for you, it's a harm, and of course there is no benefit, what do you say?" Ye Heng said seriously.
"Then will you be so ruthless to us?" asked Liu Xinyue with flashing eyes.
"Of course, you must be ruthless to other women, and you must be infatuated with your own women, you can't love enough for a lifetime!" Ye Heng replied without hesitation.
"Don't lie to me!"
"I won't lie to you!"
"Then how can I trust you?"
"I don't know what to do to make you believe me. ”
"Let me be your woman, and I'll believe you!"
"You're already my woman. ”
"Nasty, not yet!"
"Why not? I promised to marry you!"
"Ye Heng, you deliberately want to be angry with me, aren't you?"
"Hahahaha, this is Xiangyunzhuang, we are going to leave after we finish our business, what should you do if you can't get out of bed tomorrow? When you return to the Fengbing Pavilion, you will definitely get what you want!"
"That's what you said, don't lie to me!"
"I won't lie to you!"
......
The next day, Fengbing Pavilion discussed further cooperation with Xiangyunzhuang, and then Ye Heng proposed to the old owner of Zhou about borrowing troops, and the old owner of Zhou agreed very happily. After a meeting and discussion, the senior management of Xiangyunzhuang decided to lead the team led by the Great Elder and the Eighth Elder to lead one-third of the armed forces of Xiangyunzhuang to support Ye Heng.
Such a strong support was something Ye Heng did not expect, in addition to gratitude, he also admired the deep righteousness of the old owner of Zhou.
When sending Ye Heng and his party to leave Xiangyun Village, the old owner of Zhou personally sent everyone out of Ningfeng City, and finally told the Great Elder and the Eighth Elder: "I have handed over these little guys to the two of you, and you all have to bring Lao Tzu back safely, and no one is missing!"
The two of them knew that this was impossible, they were going to fight, how could they not die? However, they understood the old owner's mood at the moment, and immediately agreed loudly.
Seeing Ye Heng take away so many people, such a result made Zhou Jun and Zhou Sisi feel very dissatisfied, after all, they are the Zhou family, the old owner of Zhou is so generous to Ye Heng, but he pushes back to them, how can he feel comfortable?
How could the old owner of Zhou not know the thoughts of the two, he immediately replied to the two, and said: "Ye Heng is going to quell the chaos and defend the country, this is the great righteousness; The Shuntian Empire is in turmoil, and at this time, the common hatred of the enemy is the most important thing, and you are making a move at this time to start a civil strife and weaken the power of the empire, I hope you will remind the prince to think twice!"
Although the old owner of Zhou Jun had shirked Zhou Jun and Zhou Sisi's request before, but blood was thicker than water, how could the old owner of Zhou see his son and granddaughter in danger? He could not influence the prince's thoughts and actions, but he had to protect his son and granddaughter. After much thought, in the end, the old owner of Zhou Zhuang personally escorted the two back to Chaoyang Ranch with three Xiangyun escorts, and stayed there. With the personal departure of the old owner of Zhou, the purpose of Zhou Jun and Zhou Sisi's trip was achieved, and the resentment in his heart that the old owner of Zhou sent troops to help Ye Heng dissipated.
Ye Heng brought the team back to the Fengbing Pavilion and settled the people of Xiangyunzhuang, and immediately set off to go to Jinyu Mountain alone, because there were a group of bandits entrenched there, and Ye Heng had some friendship with their chief leader, Duan Rongzu, the king of the mountain. It's just that Ye Heng has been studying in the Hero Martial Arts Academy for the past few years, and the two sides have broken off contact, and now when there is a serious shortage of people, he doesn't know if this friendship will work, so he can only take one step at a time and see if he can invite them.
Duan Rongzu was very pleased with Ye Heng's sudden visit, and specially set up a banquet to entertain him. However, the life of the bandits on Jinyu Mountain is still not very easy, and the standard of wine and food is not very high.
"Brother Duan, haven't the days on the mountain improved now?" Ye Heng asked.
"It can still be maintained, and now that the war is in chaos, it would be good to be able to get by. Duan Rongzu replied.
"Brother Ye Heng, don't be afraid of your jokes, we haven't been out of the mountain to work for more than two months. The eldest brother said that this year is a disaster year, and no one is having a good time, and we are not allowed to go out, do you say that this is still a fucking green forest hero?" Ma Gai on the side interjected.
"Shut up! you talk a lot!" Duan Rongzu reprimanded.
"Brother Duan, since you don't do this business, what will you do in the future? I guess the grain and grass reserves on the mountain are insufficient, right?" Ye Heng asked.
Brother Ye Heng, let's talk about your affairs first, what are you visiting today? Duan Rongzu said directly.
Ye Heng knew that there was no need to hide with these green forest heroes, nor did he go around the corner, so he replied: "Brother Duan, I'm here to ask for help! I am now the city lord of Pingcheng in Guping Prefecture, we are seriously lacking troops there, and we are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the situation is not optimistic. I would like to ask you and your brothers to go out of the mountains to help me defend the city, and if the conditions allow, I may take the initiative to attack other places!"
"Oh, so that's the case!Brother Ye Heng, it stands to reason that you opened your mouth, big brother, I can't help you, but do you know how many people there are in our twenty-three cottages in Jinyu Mountain now?" Duan Rongzu did not immediately agree, but asked a question.
"I really don't know about this, the more the merrier for me!" Ye Heng replied.
"Then let me tell you, we now have a total of nearly 5,000 people! Of course, it's no problem to help you defend the city, but have you thought about it, so many people want to eat and drink, can you raise it? As far as I know, the imperial court is in chaos now, since you have rescued me, it means that you can't get support and supplies there, and so many of us have gone, you can't let us drink the northwest wind, right?" Duan Rongzu expressed his concerns.
"Brother Duan was worried that his brothers would starve! Big brother don't worry, I don't dare to say that I won't be able to use grain and grass in two years, I'm just worried that my eldest brother is used to being free and won't be able to live all kinds of restricted days in the army. Ye Heng said bluntly.
"Hahahaha, Brother Ye Heng, do you really regard us as ordinary bandits and bandits?Let me tell you, my eldest brother was originally a famous ......" Ma Gai said with a big laugh, but he suddenly stopped at the key point and looked at Duan Rongzu with an uneasy expression.
Duan Rongzu smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention the brave back then, Brother Ye Heng, as long as you can ensure that the brothers have something to eat, the five thousand or so people of Jin Yushan will be lent to you!
Ye Heng immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and said: "Big brother, one hundred taels is too little, if there are casualties, five hundred taels per person! This is a deposit of one million taels, big brother, you take it first, it is considered a settlement fee for the brothers!"
Duan Rongzu did not refuse, took the silver ticket, and said to Ma Gai: "Brother, go and invite all the leaders of the cottage, just say that I have something important to announce." ”
Ma Gai agreed and ran out in a hurry, Duan Rongzu said to Ye Heng: "Brother Ye Heng, you have done everything to this point, then the eldest brother will open the skylight with you and say something, after I finish speaking, if you feel that it is feasible, I will pull my brothers to help you; I'll go with you, and I'll sell you this life!"
