Chapter 490: Endless troubles

A crisis was temporarily resolved, Ye Shaolong arranged the follow-up matters, and went to Baoding City overnight with thousands of soldiers and horses.

The return of nearly 100,000 people will be another big move, and the process will definitely not be completed in a few days.

The bright moon hung high in the air, and as I rode a horse through the silent mountains, I could only hear the sound of all kinds of insects. Other than that, there was only the sound of horses' hooves.

The wide, flat concrete road reflected the moonlight, and the marching troops did not need to light torches.

The sweltering summer is coming to an end, and autumn is less than a month away.

Ye Shaolong rode his horse and fell into contemplation, all of them were guarded by vigilant guards in front and back, and when the entire army walked, no one said a word, and they all hurried silently.

The things that Ye Shaolong has been worried about have already appeared, and the Netherlands has passed through Werther's mouth, and it can be seen that they will not leave easily.

In all likelihood, the port of Tianjin is the top target for the Netherlands. I didn't expect that I had just driven away a group of wolves, and now I had to face a tiger again.

A Dutch is definitely more difficult to deal with than that group of wolves, and the Yejiabao army has just experienced days of battle, so it continues to recuperate at this time.

It is hard to imagine whether the soldiers of Yejiabao can support the war with the Netherlands at this time. There is another concern, Ye Shaolong must always be on guard against the counterattack of the Seven Nations Alliance.

According to the information obtained, the 40,000 defeated Seven-Nation Alliance troops still stayed in Zhangjiakou and had no intention of retreating.

The situation that seems to have calmed down is actually surging secretly, and an even bigger storm is in the midst of it. Yejiabao is about to face a more powerful test.

Thinking about it all the way, Ye Shaolong still couldn't think of any proper way to solve the dilemma he faced until he arrived outside Baoding City.

Xiao Dashan had already learned that Ye Shaolong was coming, and he was already waiting outside the city to greet him.

When Ye Shaolong arrived in Baoding City, he saw that there were people sleeping outside Baoding City within three miles. Obviously, the small city of Baoding could not accommodate nearly 100,000 people, so some people had to live nearby in the wasteland outside the city.

"Welcome back in triumph." Xiao Dashan took the lead and knelt on one leg to greet Ye Shaolong.

The soldiers who came with him to greet him also knelt on the ground in the dark.

Ye Shaolong was very helpless, he had made it clear before that he didn't need to bow down. And judging from the scene in front of him, it seems that this order has not really been carried out.

"Get up, and remember later, you don't need to bow down when you see me. There will be a severe punishment next time, especially a general like you. Ye Shaolong said a few cold words, and then left Xiao Dashan and rode into the city alone.

Xiao Dashan was so shocked by Ye Shaolong's words that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't expect that he slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg. The benefits were not fished, but they caused a commotion.

With a dark sigh of bad luck, Xiao Dashan drove away a large group of subordinates, and then caught up with Ye Shaolong's footsteps: "Dashuai, are we going to let the people return to Yejiabao from tomorrow." ”

Ye Shaolong nodded: "Yes, it is almost the beginning of autumn now, and the farmland in Yejiabao has been deserted, if you don't let the people go back to farming as soon as possible, you will miss the next quarter's work." The people live on food, and nothing is more important than their fields. ”

"What the marshal said is extremely true, so I'll start spreading the news now, is it okay?" Xiao Dashan seemed slightly excited.

Ye Shaolong raised his eyes and looked at him, he didn't understand what this guy was excited about, so he didn't ask more, Ye Shaolong nodded lightly and said that he could, and then rushed directly to the mansion.

The lights outside the gate of the mansion are bright at the moment, Tang Feifei, Su Xiaocao, Ye Ping, and the two young masters of the Ye family. One by one, all eyes were looking forward to the end of the street in front of them, expecting the figure in their hearts to appear as soon as possible.

The hard work paid off, and all the people who were anxiously waiting finally saw a figure, riding a horse and galloping over.

Susu, the figure arrived in front of him, Ye Shaolong flew off the horse, Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao were the first to rush up, and rushed into his arms in an instant.

In this battle with the Seven Nations Alliance, whether it was Tang Feifei or Su Xiaocao, both of them had always been worried about the battle situation ahead. Although the people who came back every time to report the battle situation had been reporting that they were safe, Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao still couldn't help but worry about Ye Shaolong all the time.

At this moment, when they finally saw Ye Shaolong come back intact, the two girls couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Fool, don't cry, so many people are watching you!" Ye Shaolong felt a lot in his heart, but he still comforted him.

At this time, two small figures also rushed over, without saying a word, one hugged one of Ye Shaolong's thighs, and shouted in a milky voice: "Daddy, Daddy!" ”

Ye Shaolong looked down and saw that it was his two sons, and he immediately laughed and bent over, holding one in one hand: "You are obedient." ”

Xiaohu nodded again and again: "Daddy, Xiaohu is very well-behaved and didn't let the eldest mother and second mother worry about it." ”

Looking at the cute appearance of the little guy, Ye Shaolong couldn't help but lean over his face and rub it on Xiaohu's head a few times.

Everyone supported Ye Shaolong into the mansion, and in the main hall, the two old guys were greeting each other with smiling faces.

It was still Tang Shan who spoke first: "Hahaha, Shaolong, this time you did a good job." My father-in-law heard that the Yejiabao army and the Seven Nations Alliance Army fought head-on, and they were not inferior to them at all. It can be said that our Yejiabao army has a big face. ”

It was rare for his father-in-law to praise him, and Ye Shaolong was not modest, so he smiled and followed.

The whole family quickly sat down one by one, and the banquet that had been prepared began to be served one after another.

During the banquet, no one talked about the things on the battlefield again, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding them. In order to get together for this rare time, so as not to spoil this rare atmosphere.

When Ye Shaolong arrived in Baoding City, it was actually almost dawn, he had not rested all night, he was already too tired, and after a few glasses of wine, the whole person was even more listless.

Seeing this, Ye Shoufu immediately spoke and asked Ye Shaolong to go down and rest first.

Ye Shaolong was not hypocritical, and with the support of Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao, he went to the room that had already been arranged.

On the way back to rest, Ye Shaolong informed Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao that they should properly arrange for the people to return to Yejiabao.

Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao naturally agreed to let Ye Shaolong rest in peace, they knew!

Ye Shaolong was indeed sleepy, as soon as his body lay on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his eyes were closed. The two girls carefully changed the quilt for him, and then left lightly, and when they left, they ordered the guards who were guarding the door not to let anyone in and disturb him.
