Ye Fuyun sneered in his heart, whether it was peace of mind or worry, everyone knew it. He maintained a polite smile on his face and said: "The capital to the northern desert to gather thousands of miles, this time back and forth will take a month, seeing that the year is approaching, why did you two come here at this time, isn't there any will from my father to send you to tell me?" ”

Ye Mingche patted Ye Fuyun's shoulder and said earnestly: "Third brother, you have worked hard here, although our brothers are in the capital, how can there be anything in our hearts that we don't worry about." You can wait here in peace, and I will plead with my father again in the next year to announce your return to the capital. ”

Ye Fuyun looked sideways at the hand on his shoulder, quietly sat down on the chair beside him, shook his head and said: "No need, I used to stay in the barracks before, the brocade clothes and delicacies in the capital are no longer suitable for me, the people here are simple, and there are no criminals from the northern frontier, I am doing well, don't worry about me, second brother." ”

The words have come to this point, what should be tempted, what should be seen, and they all know it in their hearts, Ye Mingche sighed and said: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, my fifth brother and I are inconvenient to bring food and clothes this time, my father authorized you to move the things you need nearby, originally this matter only needs an official document, but I and my fifth brother miss you too much, so I came to see you in the wind and snow, and we can really feel at ease when we see you safe and sound." ”

It had just snowed so long before he couldn't haul food and supplies, such excuses were really clumsy, and his father and his brothers couldn't rest assured of him. Moving materials nearby, not to mention the difficulty of transportation on this delay, without the emperor's personal approval, where did he move the materials, and it was clear that he and the people of this city would starve to death in this winter.

The reason why Ye Mingche ran this trip in person was to see him with his own eyes, presumably he had already greeted the people below and moved the materials, he was afraid that he would not give himself any chance to transfer the materials.

Ye Fuyun took a sip of hot tea before he spoke: "Since I have seen it, I will not leave the second brother, after all, the plague has only passed for a long time, and the New Year is approaching, and the second brother must have a lot of things to do." I still have to think about where to go to get the supplies, so I won't send the second brother. ”

After speaking, Ye Fuyun stood up, looked at Ye Mingqin and said, "The fifth brother has always been idle, there should be nothing waiting for you to go back to deal with in the capital, why don't you stay and accompany me for the New Year before going back." I don't have any relatives by my side in Beimo, so I am inevitably lonely, and my father will not agree. ”

Ye Fuyun didn't put Ye Mingche in his eyes at all, he secretly clenched his fists, and a trace of darkness quickly crossed his eyes, this place, he was not interested in staying longer, but he didn't expect that Ye Fuyun was already like this, and he was still so unexpected, for the sake of that high position, what did it matter if he put up with him for the time being, and when the power was in his hands, who wanted to live or who died, it was not all up to his own words.

Ye Mingche suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said smoothly: "Since the third brother feels lonely and wants the fifth brother to stay and accompany him, then the fifth brother will stay and accompany the third brother for the New Year, I will show my father when I go back, you don't have to worry." ”

Among the brothers, Ye Mingqin and Ye Fuyun have the best relationship, he is naturally willing to stay with him for the New Year, and the purpose of his coming this time is also what he meant, so he arched his hand and said: "So it will trouble the second brother to explain to my father for me." ”

Ye Mingche didn't have time to take a rest, he just drank a sip of hot tea, and was driven away by Ye Fuyun, Ye Mingqin sent Ye Mingche away, and returned to the palace and asked Ye Fuyun with some concern, "Third brother, second brother Chen's mansion is very deep, you obviously offend him like this, I'm afraid that he will do something unfavorable to you after he goes back." ”

Ye Fuyun replied disappreciatively, "Do you think that if I don't say anything or do anything, he will let me go?" ”

Ye Mingqin was speechless when asked, the third brother would be sent here by his father, most of them were ghosts made by the second brother inside, how could there be any brotherhood when born in the royal family, which dynasty was not for the throne, brothers killed each other. The common people envy their wealth, and he yearns for the brothers, friends, and brothers of ordinary people, and the joy of family life.

"Have you found any incidents in the capital that are related to the family surnamed Mu?"

Ye Fuyun's question interrupted Ye Mingqin's thoughts, and he restrained his emotions and replied: "In recent years, there has been no incident about the family surnamed Mu, has the third brother forgotten a case five years ago?" The queen bribed a imperial doctor surnamed Mu and killed the child in the belly of the concubine, and the imperial doctor was wiped out by his father and the nine clans, and the queen was also thrown into the cold palace, which should be regarded as the biggest major event in recent years. ”

Five years ago? Thinking of the past five years ago, Ye Fuyun narrowed his eyes, the surname of Imperial Doctor Mu, Mu Xi, who are you from Imperial Doctor Mu? If you are really the descendant of the Mu family who survived by luck, then you approached me so deliberately, is it to seek revenge on me or to take revenge on the royal family?

Watching the night floating clouds were silent, as if they were in deep thought, Ye Mingqin asked curiously, "Why did the third brother ask me to find out about the family surnamed Mu?" Could it be related to that Imperial Doctor Mu? ”

Ye Fuyun didn't want to reveal too much about this matter, so he shook his head and replied: "I'm not sure for the time being, but after I figure it out, you will naturally understand." ”

The third brother's speech has always been unfathomable, Ye Mingqin had to stop and change the topic: "How does the third brother plan to get the supplies?" ”

This sentence stopped Ye Fuyun, he frowned and pondered without answering, and only after a long time did he hook his lips and smile mysteriously, "I have my own opinions on this matter, but this time I will disappoint them again." ”

Ye Mingqin was curious to ask, but Ye Fuyun didn't give him a chance to change the topic and said: "Originally, the plague in Yunxi City was a barrier to the Nightfall Country, but now that the plague has been eliminated, it is difficult to ensure that the northern frontier will not come to the border, and now there is a matter that needs the help of the fifth brother." ”

Ye Mingqin thought for a moment and replied, "The third brother should not want to recruit troops, right?" ”

Night Floating Cloud stretched out a finger and shook it, "Wrong, it's conscription." ”

Ye Mingqin suddenly realized that recruiting troops and buying horses would be regarded as rebellion, and if it was conscripted in the name of the imperial court, it would be logical and reasonable. The father sent the third brother here, but did not give him a soldier, since it was nominally to him to defend the Northern Desert, but if there is no soldier, how can he talk about defending the Northern Desert, as the so-called, will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, and will not let the father know for the time being, and it will not be too late to find an opportunity in the future, he believes that his third brother must have been planned.

The two brothers looked at each other tacitly and smiled, Ye Mingqin stood up and said, "Third brother, this matter is on me, don't worry." ”
