Chapter 40: The Calm Before the Storm

"What, the Black Tiger Heavenly Prison Pass is hung up with a war-free card!" In the camp tent, the sassy and heroic Situ Lanmingyue put down the battle report in shock, and glanced at the Wuyang Shizi beside him incredulously.

In the battle between the Jin army and the Black Tiger Heavenly Prison Pass, because of Ye Yi's order, they released the battle-free card, implying that the Jin State did not want to attack them...... Now, Chen Guo hangs up the exemption card, which means that Chen Guo has given up the battle: "What the hell is the little hooligan doing? As the commander of the three armed forces, he is especially missing!"

Wuyang Shizi smiled weirdly, what he heard the most in recent days was Situ Lan Mingyue scolding Ye Yi, scolding for more than eight days, and every day the scolding was not repeated: "Or, this is his strategy!"

Looking up at the northwest direction of the camp, the end of heaven and earth showed the trend of burning clouds, Wuyang Shizi used a little force with his two fingers, the letter was wiped out, Situ Lan Mingyue looked solemn: "Is that monument about to be born?"

"Yes, we are going to leave tonight, it's too late, I'm afraid something will change!" Mo Tianxuan said in the letter, with the strength of a few of them, it is impossible to postpone the appearance of the monument any longer.

"Okay! I understand!" Situ Lan Mingyue nodded, returned to his camp, wrote a letter, took out a pigeon from under the bed, tied the letter to the pigeon's leg, released his hands and let it fly away.

.............................. Shangyong City, recently seems to be extraordinarily quiet, deserted, one is the Jin soldiers are in the city, may attack at any time, it is inevitable that the city will be slaughtered at that time, many people in the city have begun to discuss and prepare for rebellion, open the city gate to welcome the Jin army into the city.

The two countries are at war, breaking the city and slaughtering the city is a common thing, how can the people in the city resist the menacing army, in the face of the army's butcher's knife, they can only choose fear, and die in fear waiting.

Gate of the city, maybe they still have a chance to survive, on the verge of death, the desire to survive is an infinitely terrifying existence, in order to survive, to be able to live, one in ten thousand hope they have to try!

If they try, they still have a 1 in 10,000 chance of surviving! Waiting for death, then they are really waiting for death.

"The city lord can't have already run away, has he? It's been a long time since I saw that bully come out and huo us ordinary people!"

"Yes, that bully beast doesn't harm us for a day, how can we not see his shadow for a few days, it must be the city lord who ran away!!"

The "........................" people talked a lot, and the young figures, wearing long cloaks, walked alone on the streets of Shangyong City, everywhere they could see, they were in tatters, the doors, windows, and roof tiles were incomplete, and the corpses of poultry and livestock on the street had festered in the afterlife, emitting a foul smell.

On both sides of the street, ordinary people sat on the railings of their houses, their eyes empty and glazed. In the stables, several elderly men were half-lying on the haystacks, exhaling heavily...... The rest of Shangyong are either people who are over the age of sixties, or young children, and the oldest child is about the same age as Ye Yi.

Gorgeous costumes, walking leisurely, the eyes of the common people dodged, and they didn't dare to stay on Ye Yi's body for a long time, for fear that it would attract his anger after watching it for a long time.

"Grandma, Yaya is hungry, I really want to eat!!" The small and weak voice of the buzzing reached Ye Yi's side, and at the entrance of the street, the ragged old woman was holding three or four little girls in her arms, and the little woman in her arms bit her lip vigorously and said.

The old woman took it in her arms for a long time, but she didn't touch anything, she looked in the cuffs, and turned out something the size of a small half a palm, which looked black and didn't slip away, and handed it to the little girl's mouth: "Come, eat...... Yaya, open your mouth!!"

"Well......" The little girl opened her mouth when she saw the food, and the old woman smiled lovingly and looked at the little girl. The little girl suddenly stopped, turned her head, and said to the old woman: "Grandma, we are half of us, so many girls can't eat!"

The old woman held her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, and her lips trembled: "Yaya, grandma is not hungry, Yaya eats ......"

"No, half of us, okay!" Yaya hugged the old woman and coquettish, and pushed away the old woman's old hand with her little hand: "Grandma doesn't eat, Yaya doesn't eat either!!"

"Yaya, good!!"

"No, grandma doesn't eat Yaya and doesn't eat ......"

The old woman couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness, so she could only take a small half: "Okay, grandma and the girl eat together! Eat, good boy!" The little girl smiled happily and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth and chew it.

Licking her mouth, the girl happily hugged the old woman: "It's delicious!!"

"I'm sorry for you, child!!" the old woman closed her eyes, tears couldn't help but drip down, she understood that this was the last thing they had to eat, I was afraid that it would not be until the evening when the girl was hungry again, and at that time, what would she do...... I don't know why, at this moment, how much the old woman hopes that the Jin army can attack and slaughter the city, at least so that their ancestors and grandchildren will not starve to death!

"Gollum ......" The old woman opened her eyes, she thought too much, how to eat enough of that little thing, Yaya didn't open her eyes, closed her eyes hard, grabbed the sleeve of her grandmother's clothes tightly with her little hands, and pretended to be asleep: "Yaya, are you hungry again?"

"No...... Gollum!!"

"Yaya, you can sleep, grandma will go find you something to eat......"

"No, Yaya is not hungry, Yaya just wants to hold her grandmother and sleep for a while!!" said in a milky voice, rubbing hard in the old woman's arms.

"Here, eat!!" the old woman couldn't bear it, picked up the maid to find food, stood up slightly, and the immature voice sounded in her ears.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, raised her head slightly, her cute, pink little face like a porcelain doll was reflected in her eyes, and then she looked at Ye Yi's dress, with a feather crown on her head, a velvet robe, and a jade pendant the size of an adult's palm tied around her waist, looking like a descendant of a royal nobleman, she trembled with fright.

She has heard that many noble children have special habits, the son of the city lord's mansion of Shangyong City is, he specializes in favoring married women, and if he takes a fancy to it, he will snatch it back to the mansion to serve him, and then the woman who snatched it back was thrown at the corner of the street with bruises, and the men in the family have a conscience, and will come to take it back for treatment, and if they meet someone who has no conscience, the woman will die at the corner of the street.

Could it be that this little boy took a fancy to his granddaughter, and the old woman hugged the maid desperately: "Little boy, our maid is still young, please spare her......"

"Grandma, you think too much!!" What kind of virtue is Zifeng, he knows it clearly, and the ordinary people naturally think that he is a noble child when they see his dress, since he is a noble child, those problems are indispensable, and the old woman in front of him must think that she wants to beat her granddaughter's attention.

"Eat it with confidence, it's not poisonous!" sat next to the old woman by herself, took a piece of pastry in her hand and put it in her mouth, smashed it and ate it: The osmanthus cake made by Ziyun is really good, but it's a pity that she can't say it in front of Acacia, otherwise she will be angry again, this woman, she just can't see other women better than her.

"Whoa!!"

Ye Yi enjoyed eating the pastry very much, the burst of aroma reached Yaya's nose, and the little girl couldn't help but poke her head out, staring at the osmanthus cake in Ye Yi's hand, saliva flowed down, stained on her clothes, Yaya kept licking her mouth, saliva swallowed......

"Do you want to eat?"

"Think...... Don't want to! Grandma is angry!!" Yaya looked at Ye Yi pitifully, and then looked at the old woman, the latter helplessly hugged Yaya, the children of the nobles are what they must not offend, and if they commit their taboos, it is simply better to live than to die, she is a lot old, and she will die if she dies, but her granddaughter is still young.

"Forgive me, little boy, we untouchables can't eat your food!!"

"Hmm~~" Ye Yi said lightly: "Grandma, you also know that I am a nobleman, there are ten osmanthus cakes here, I will put them here, watch you eat, within half an hour, your ancestors and grandchildren must eat them, otherwise...... Your granddaughter, hahaha......"

"Little Boy ......"

"It's only half an hour!Why don't you want a little doll?" Ye Yi smiled evilly, how dare the old woman be disobedient, so she had to obediently pick up the osmanthus cake, hold it in her hand, look at it, and hesitate to eat it: What if there is poison? No, you can't give it to Yaya, you can't die, you can only kill me!

Take it and stuff it into your mouth, suddenly one hand pressed the old woman, not much, took the osmanthus cake in the old woman's hand and broke half of it, half of it was thrown into her mouth, and the other half was put in front of the old woman.

"Little boy, the old woman's hands are dirty, your body is delicate, you can't eat it......" At this moment, how could the old woman still not understand Ye Yi's thoughts, and ate silently, the ancestors and grandchildren ate one bite at a time, Yaya ate such a delicious pastry for the first time, her little eyes narrowed into a slit, and she enjoyed it very much.

While eating, he made a grimace at Ye Yi, attracting a blow from the old woman, shrinking his head and blinking his eyes, and eating again. The grandfather and grandson were hungry for a long time, and the ten osmanthus cakes were wiped out in less than half an hour, and the two sat there and did not dare to speak.

Ye Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I completed the task ahead of schedule, it's good!Especially you, you performed so well, I'm very satisfied, so what...... There's a reward!!"

"What reward?" Yaya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ye Yi directly.

The old woman was just about to drink, but Ye Yi stopped her, and the ring in her hand flashed: "Different pastries, this is the eldest brother's favorite pastry, a pastry that I have always been reluctant to eat, I have rewarded you, do you like it?"

Ye Yi had a large plate of pastries in his hand, all of which were made by Acacia in his spare time in the Guoshi Mansion to satisfy his hunger, he never thought that this time it would be used regularly, Yaya's saliva flowed, and she nodded vigorously: "It's all for me?" I like it, I like it so much, hehe!"

"If you like it!!"

Just when Ye Yi was chatting happily with Yaya's ancestors and grandchildren, Acacia rushed over and saluted in front of Ye Yi: "There are two letters coming ......"

Ye Yi stretched out his hand to stop Acacia, who nodded, and Acacia handed over the two notes to Ye Yi's hand: "The news just came!"

Taking the note, Ye Yi walked over to the other side, Acacia stood in place and waited, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pastry in Yaya's hand: Isn't that the dim sum he prepared for Gongzi in the Guoshi Mansion?

"Beautiful sister, do you want to eat? This was given to me by the brother just now, and he said that this is his favorite and most reluctant pastry...... Yaya can share it with you!!" Seeing Acacia staring at the pastry in her hand, thinking that Acacia was hungry, Yaya said generously, and the pastry in her hand was put in front of Acacia without hesitation!

"No, my sister is not hungry...... Did that brother really say that?"

Yaya nodded: "Yaya can't lie, if you don't believe it, you can ask grandma!"

"That's exactly what the little boy said......"

Acacia's face was pink, her mind was blank, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't hear what the old woman said later.

"Acacia...... Acacia ......"

"Huh?!Childe...... Did you call me?"

"What do you think, I've called you five or six times, you have nothing to do and be in a daze!!"

"Oh~~" Hehe smiled and said, "Childe, what do you tell me to do?"

Ye Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, and whispered, "I can't read, what is written on it?"

"Childe, you can't read?...... Hahaha, childe, you ...... Hahaha......" In Ye Yi's extremely vicious eyes, Acacia restrained his smile and opened the letter: "It's Miss, their time is up, and they will leave tonight!!"

"This is from Jun Xiao Mo Gongzi...... Childe ......" Acacia's expression changed dramatically, pulling Ye Yi aside.

A bad premonition shrouded Ye Yi's heart: "What's wrong with Jun Xiaomo?"

"Act according to the plan, your whereabouts are exposed, the Black Tiger Heavenly Prison is in a battle, life and death are uncertain, and now you are missing!!"

"Jun Xiaomo is missing?" Ye Yi said urgently!!
