Chapter 24: The Road

And Wei Yingluo, who followed all the way, recently entangled Ye Yunyi, and when he camped at night before, Ye Yunyi wrote a letter to Mo Xiaoye, who had sent a letter to Qingyun City, to understand the situation.

The result was good, Mo Xiaoye's letter to Ye Yunyi didn't mention much, but said something that was not painful, and repeatedly mentioned that Ye Yunyi had agreed to her request before, and asked Ye Yunyi to tell her legendary stories.

When Ye Yunyi was reading the letter next to the fire, he didn't notice that Wei Yingluo came over to peek, and saw Mo Xiaoye asking Ye Yunyi to tell her a story, so he was curious about what the story was, and kept chasing Ye Yunyi and asking.

In the end, Ye Yunyi couldn't help but tell Wei Yingluo a section of "Three Kingdoms" "Zhuge divides the world", and then Wei Yingluo kept pestering Ye Yunyi to tell stories along the way.

On a whim, in order to eliminate the fatigue of the journey, Ye Yunyi continued the story of "Three Kingdoms" to Wei Yingluo. The charm of "Three Kingdoms" is irresistible in such an era.

After going through trials and hardships, I finally arrived at the border of Chu in the fastest time, and I was about to arrive at Qingyun City in the border army camp in one more day's trip.

This night, the grain transportation team led by Ye Yunyi was stationed on the mountainside, and they could already vaguely see Qingyun City. And the story of Ye Yunyi's "Three Kingdoms" is almost finished.

Wei Yingluo still came to Ye Yunyi's side by the fire as usual.

"It's coming tomorrow, I heard that Qingyun City used to trade with Yan Kingdom, and then you will leave the team directly and go back with the Yan merchants you are doing business with", Ye Yunyi didn't tell a story tonight, and Wei Yingluo didn't want to hear the story, so he sat silently beside Ye Yunyi.

The starry sky tonight is very clear, full of stars, but there is no bright moon in sight.

Wei Yingluo didn't speak, just like this, she and Ye Yunyi silently looked at the starry sky.

Bonfires, starlight, people hiding their hearts, quietly waiting for the flow of time.

When Ye Yunyi set off from the imperial city, it was the spring of March, and the imperial city was already recovering. But I've been walking for almost a month, and it's still cold winter on the border.

Ye Yunyi, who got up on the second day, found that it was actually snowing, and the snow was blowing one after another, which made those who escorted the food happy, and some soldiers still jumped up in the snow, immersed in joy.

The joy of seeing the snow washed away Wei Yingluo's sadness that she was about to separate, only to see her jump into the snowdrift, pick up a snowball and throw it at Ye Yunyi. Ye Yunyi, who was once highly nervous, also rarely relaxed, took off the felt on his body and handed it to Xuan Qi, picking up the snow under his feet to fight back.

After breakfast, Ye Yunyi and the others continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the foot of the vice city of Qingyun City. Qingyun City is the largest city on the border of Chu State, and it is said to be a city, but it is actually a main city and two sub-cities.

When the state of Chu was built, considering the military needs, a main city and a sub-city were built. In addition, Qingyun City and Yan State bordered the Jin Kingdom, and the largest main city was tasked with defending against the two countries.

The sub-city built before, a little closer to the Chu State, was to reserve the rear of military supplies, that is, the city in front of Ye Yunyi now, which was still nearly twenty miles away from the main city.

And the war cannot last forever, after the battle, it is people who have to live, with the development of these years, the business exchanges between the Chu State and the Yan State and the Jin State, Qingyun City has become more and more prosperous.

So he spontaneously created a sub-city outside the main city, which was specially used for trade, which led to the phenomenon of today's Qingyun City with one main city and two sub-cities.

The wind and snow were still falling, and the supplies that Ye Yunyi and the others escorted had been covered with thick snow, and Ye Yunyi, who came to the city, saw from a distance that the city was full of people.

The sub-city of Qingyun City is surrounded by steep mountains, which just encompasses the sub-city of Qingyun City, but the terrain near the city is very flat.

Fierce north winds swept down the hills, almost blowing people away.

"Who is coming, this is Qingyun City, report your name", Ye Yunyi, who was wrapped in felt, finally saw someone shouting on the city wall.

And the person standing in the middle of the city, dressed in snow-white armor, standing tall on the wind and snow wall, the cloak behind him whirring, wearing a high helmet, the beard of the temples has turned white, and the left hand is casually placed on the cross knife on his waist, as if the master of this heaven and earth, vigorous, with an unyielding will.

"The lonely city, the snow, the general, just make up a wonderful atmosphere.

"Young master, the atmosphere is not right, why is the border army so heavily guarded, and I haven't gotten any news before", Xuan Qi said worriedly beside Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but when he heard someone shouting, Ye Yunyi still rode to the front of the team, looked at the most conspicuous one on the city wall and said: "I am Ye Yunyi, the grain and grass escort officer, and I was ordered to escort grain and grass here, this is my edict", and after speaking, he took out the documents that Xu Tingwei gave him before.

When the general, who had been standing on the wall and looking at the wind and snow in the distance, heard the words "Ye Yunyi", he suddenly changed his gaze to look down, but unfortunately the wind and snow were too big to see the people below.

The guards behind the general continued to shout, but Ye Beijiang directly raised his left hand to stop the guards.

What Ye Yunyi didn't know was that he and his father Ye Beijiang met after more than ten years, and it was in such a scene.

The snow was flying, one was standing on the city, one was riding a horse under the wall, both sides couldn't see each other's faces, but they all had a tacit understanding, even if they were obscured from sight, they felt each other's presence.

Ye Beijiang's hand holding the knife trembled a little, he knew that the one downstairs was probably his son, and it was the bloodline that he couldn't rest assured about before he came to the expedition.

As soon as he went on the expedition, he couldn't go back when his father died, so he could only look at the imperial city in the middle of the night, and persuade himself with loyalty and righteousness.

But he can't accompany Ye Yunyi to grow up, he is the only one in the Ye family after that, will he be afraid, will he be bullied, he complains that Gaozu has pressed him on this border for more than ten years, but he can't go back as a deserter, he can't ruin the reputation of the Ye family.

Today he could finally see his son again, but he was a little scared.

Similarly, Ye Yunyi was also very nervous, when he first came to this world, he saw Ye Beijiang very little, and then he went on the expedition for more than ten years, Ye Yunyi has long been used to facing everything alone.

But now that he is related to himself, he understands that they are all involuntarily, but when it comes to him, he is still instinctively timid.

In this way, both of them were waiting for the other to speak first, and the people behind them both looked stupid.

Tiangong also came to join in the fun at this time, and the heavy snow that had just been flying in the sky quickly dispersed, and there was no sight to obstruct it, and both sides could see it clearly.

The border troops on the city wall, seeing that Ye Yunyi under the wall was simply a copy of their general's youth, were all shocked, "General, this ......" When the guards asked Ye Beijiang, they found that Ye Beijiang's tears were silently flowing.

And the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass and Wei Yingluo also saw Ye Beijiang in the city, although he was wearing a helmet, his exposed eyebrows and eyes were just the same as Ye Yunyi's.

"Open the city gate and welcome the brothers who sent us grain and grass", Ye Beijiang said hoarsely.

Soon the city gate opened, Ye Yunyi beckoned, and the teams behind entered the city one after another, and they followed in.

But Ye Beijiang seemed to be frozen, still standing on the wall and not moving.

The news of Ye Yunyi's escort of the arrival of grain and grass quickly spread throughout Qingyun City, and the soldiers were very excited, and even the people of Qingyun City were infected by this atmosphere, and the whole city was filled with laughter.

The reason for this is because Qingyun City has not been like this for a long time, when Emperor Chu was in power before, the grain and grass never arrived on time, basically the border soldiers and the people of Qingyun spent the difficulties together, when the grain and grass were not enough before, the border army had to work in addition to garrisoning.

And even if the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court arrives, it will be much less than the standard, and it will be secretly deducted by the old faction of the Imperial Division.

This time there was more grain and grass than before, so how did the soldiers be unhappy.

Ye Yunyi, who entered the city, handed over the rest to Xuanqi for handover, and then asked the location of the border army Ye Beijiang, and went straight to the city wall.
