Chapter 62: The Undercurrent

It is far more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, Ye Gucheng knows this truth very well, not to mention that he is now guarding a country!

Monarchs and ministers can't be single-minded, this is the great disadvantage of the country!

He always thought that he had firmly controlled Huaxia, but today's events made him completely understand that in fact, in addition to controlling the army, he could not win the hearts of hundreds of officials!

And what caused this divergence is the worldview of the two eras!

The people are heaven, and this truth cannot be accepted and tolerated by the superiors of this era!

He really wanted to change this phenomenon, and he thought it had changed, and it was only now that he realized that, in fact, he had not changed anything!

In the back garden, singing and dancing are leveling.

Li Yueli held the baby and accompanied Li Yue'er to enjoy the performance of the dancing girl, Li Yue'er saw the rise, and even followed the comparison in a similar way, and the pleasant and comfortable silver bell-like laughter filled every corner.

Ye Gucheng rarely saw Li Yue'er smiling so brightly, and her pretty face in the sun was so innocent.

is also such a smiling face, which makes Ye Gucheng once again strengthen the belief in his heart, he wants to guard everything in front of him, just like guarding the peaceful life and his country that he has worked so hard to create!

For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn into a killing god again, even if the ministers were dissatisfied and the thousands of people pointed out, he didn't care.

Shrine.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xiaoxu stood up suddenly, and said incredulously: "Ye Gucheng really went to the disaster area?"

"Yes, Sect Master, I can see it clearly, Ye Gucheng left the city with thousands of guards early in the morning and headed for the western realm. The red-robed bishop looked excited.

"It seems that Ye Gucheng really wants to find death by himself, so he doesn't take a shortcut, but insists on defending Li Yue'er!"

"Find out who sent us the secret letter?" Zhang Xiaoxu was concerned about another matter.

"Sect Master, this person is acting in secrecy, and he still has no clue. The red-robed bishop reported truthfully.

"No matter who sent the secret letter, our purpose is to want Ye Gucheng to die, everything can be planned normally, even if it fails, Ye Gucheng will not be able to find the temple. The older priests were dissatisfied.

Zhang Xiaoxu's heart sank, although Ye Gucheng was hateful, but, in all fairness, he didn't want the other party to die like this! Because he knew better than anyone that his position in the Divine Hall was becoming more and more unstable, once Ye Gucheng really died, if something happened in the Divine Hall, he would have no one to rely on!

The royal capital.

Inside the attic.

An entourage walked in quickly, saw the master sitting quietly on the side and sipping tea, and walked forward quickly and said, "Young master, I have flown to the west." ”

"Very good!" The young man slowly put down the tea set and said indifferently: "Let's go down!"

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

On the road leading to the west, thousands of cavalry led by Ye Gucheng galloped fast, because he was in a hurry, he did not enter the city to rest all the way, and only ordered the soldiers to camp in place and eat hastily.

In his opinion, the commander of a country should sit high in the royal capital, and now despite the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, he went to the disaster area to preside over the rescue work.

Xuanyuan was already a straight man, and he couldn't hide his words, so he said sullenly: "Commander, you can just order the local officials to deal with such a trivial matter as saving refugees, why go there in person, in this way, wouldn't it make his people laugh at our Xuanyuan clan." ”

Ye Gucheng's face sank, and he suddenly grabbed the reins, and said coldly: "Xuanyuan Madness, do you still remember the original oath?"

Xuanyuan's face changed suddenly, and he was silent in an instant.

"There is no Xuanyuan Clan, only Huaxia Kingdom, you will always remember this for me. ”

"The minister is guilty. Because of the panic, Xuanyuan didn't even dare to look up.

"Let me hear such words, you can stay at home and take care of your old age!" Ye Gucheng retracted his gaze with a cold face and continued to gallop forward.

"You idiot. Xuanyuan Xue glanced at Xuanyuan madness, and quickly followed Ye Gucheng.

Xuanyuan laughed bitterly twice and slowly followed the large army.

In fact, Ye Gucheng also knew that it was not appropriate to go to the disaster area at this time, however, the people's anger had risen, if the leaders of Huaxia continued to ignore the affected people, then Huaxia would really usher in a crisis, and he, the efforts of more than a year would be in vain, which he would never allow.

Therefore, whether it is to set an example or to supervise the army, he must go in person to convince the suffering people that the Chinese army really exists to protect the people.

Of course, the royal capital can't be left without someone to preside over the overall situation, so he deliberately left Zhang Yi and Xuanyuan Jianhong in the royal capital, and he also categorically refused Li Yueli and Li Yue'er, who had been shouting that they wanted to accompany him.

The sun and the moon alternated, and the stars shifted, and under Ye Gucheng's rapid march, they soon reached the western border, and finally saw the first army rushing to the disaster area.

However, when Ye Gucheng saw the murderous appearance of the soldiers, he suddenly became angry and reprimanded angrily: "Xuanyuan Tiger, are you going to fight or save the people?"

Xuanyuan Tiger was stunned and looked at Xuanyuan Mania, who directly gave him a look of self-begging.

"Why are you still stunned? Speed made the soldiers change into light clothes, and only keep their sabers to speed forward. Ye Gucheng really wanted to slap him off the horse.

"Obey!" Xuanyuan Hu hurriedly agreed, and ordered the soldiers to change into light clothes quickly.

Yicheng, because of the impact of the earthquake, many buildings collapsed, fortunately, the casualties were not large, and Zhao Ping promptly transferred troops from the capital to help, and there was not much chaos in the city, and some repair work was also in full swing.

When Ye Gucheng personally led tens of thousands of troops into Yicheng, it really made the people of the city take a big start, but when they learned that the Huaxia army came to relieve the disaster on purpose, the people were moved and kowtowed.

Ye Gucheng quickly dismounted, picked up an old man, and said ashamedly: "Old man, I'm sorry, the Huaxia army is late and makes you suffer!"

"Commander, the old man is about to die, but it doesn't matter, but it's okay, but my son is still getting off the horse, and I don't know if he is dead or alive!" The old man said this, and wanted to kneel down again and begged: "Commander, please, save my son, my three sons have all died on the battlefield, and only the child is left to die for me!"

Ye Gucheng's heart was sour, and he hugged the old man tightly and said: "Old man, don't worry, the army of Huaxia will definitely not give up on any of the living, as long as your child is still alive, I will definitely bring him safely to you." ”

"Thank you, Commander!" the old man wept again.

Ye Gucheng calmed the emotions of the people and walked towards Zhao Ping, who was striding in.

"See Commander-in-Chief. Zhao Ping hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite. Seeing Zhao Ping here, Ye Gucheng was very comforted in his heart, and said quickly: "What is the situation of the disaster in Yicheng, and have other soldiers rushed to the disaster area?"

Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, and said: "Returning to the commander, the problem of Yicheng is not big, it's just... The mountain road leading to Xiamaguan was buried, and the troops brought by the subordinates were limited. . . I really can't open the gap and go to the next pass. ”

Ye Gucheng's face changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, in the past twenty days, only you have arrived in Yicheng?"

Zhao Ping's heart trembled, and when he saw Xuanyuan behind Ye Gucheng, his face was not good, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Yes... ”

"Okay! There are three armies near Yicheng, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the three military camps, but none of them have arrived, and the people are allowed to suffer, this is our Huaxia army!" Ye Gucheng laughed angrily, turned around suddenly, stared at Xuanyuan and said, "Xuanyuan crazy, did you give my orders to the military camps?"

Xuanyuan panicked in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "Returning to the commander, the minister has already passed down the military order, as for why no army has come so far, the minister really doesn't know... ”

Ye Gucheng smiled suddenly, his eyes became more and more cold, and said: "In this way, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, my orders are not easy to use, and your orders are not easy to use!

Xuanyuan didn't understand what Emperor Shangao meant, but it must not be a good word, seeing that Ye Gucheng was on the verge of going berserk, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

At this time, two armies finally arrived in Yicheng in a hurry, obviously receiving the news, seeing that the commander had arrived, the two generals who led the army hurriedly stepped forward.

When Ye Gucheng saw it, he was even more angry, and roared angrily: "Come on, kill the two of them on the spot." ”

The two generals trembled and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Xuanyuan also hurriedly said: "Commander, Xuanyuan Blood may have something to delay, please allow them to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Delayed?" Ye Gucheng said with a blushing face: "The Xuanyuan Tiger garrison can come as far as possible, why can't they? What is more important than the lives of the people?"

At the sound of an order, two heads fell to the ground.

The army lost its leader, and all of them stayed on the spot at once, and the people, seeing that the commander loved them so much, knelt down and bowed again excitedly.

"The lieutenant general is in the position of the main general, and the speed follows me to the dismount pass. Saving people is like fighting fire, Ye Gucheng is not verbose, and walks towards the horses not far away.

Xuanyuan madly glanced at the heads of the two generals, and slowly followed with a cold face.

Just as Ye Gucheng was about to lead the army to continue to advance, a voice slowly sounded.

"The mountain road is crowded and not suitable for horseback riding, and now the mountain road is blocked, and the horses cannot pass through. ”

Ye Gucheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the source of the sound blankly.

A young man, dark and heroic, with a dirty robe and hands covered with mud and dust, knew at a glance that he had just finished participating in the repair work.

This person, Ye Gucheng is more familiar than anyone else, he is Li Yueli's only younger brother, Li Jun!

Of course, compared with a year ago, Li Jun is more mature and stable today.

In fact, it is also very complicated for Li Jun to see Ye Gucheng again, he is not only a brother-in-law, but also an enemy who kills his father!

"You... It's been good lately... Ye Gucheng saw his brother-in-law coming over and hurriedly dismounted.

"It's not far from Yicheng to get off the horse, I'll take you there!" Although Li Jun chose to forgive Ye Gucheng, he couldn't face it calmly.

Xuanyuan and the others naturally knew Li Jun, although they were annoyed that the other party was rude to the commander, but seeing that the commander was not angry, they had to keep silent.

In this way, tens of thousands of Chinese troops abandoned their horses and trotted instead, and set off towards Xiama Pass with rescue tools in hand.

The people of Yicheng saw that the Huaxia army was so close to the people, and they were even more obliged to join the ranks.

As Li Jun said, not to mention the bumpy mountain road on this road, it is even more difficult to walk an inch to the depths, and the faster and slower the speed of the army's march.

Ye Gucheng was very comforted when he saw that Li Jun was sweating profusely and panting and still insisted on turning over, and the ignorant teenager in the past had finally grown up! Yueli would be very happy if she knew about Li Jun's changes!

"Brother-in-law... Li Jun seemed a little unnatural, and said slowly: "My sister... Are you alright?"

Ye Gucheng's heart suddenly burst into joy, as if this 'brother-in-law' was better than anything else! Hurriedly responded: "Yueli is very good! You don't have to worry, if you miss your sister, you can go to the royal capital to visit her at any time, oh! By the way, there is also your nephew." ”

Li Jun's heart warmed for a long time before he said softly: "Forget it... Sister... Maybe don't want to see me again!"

Ye Gucheng was stunned, looking at the lonely back, and felt sad in his heart.

Perhaps, it's time to arrange for their siblings to meet each other to dissolve this layer of estrangement!
