After the conversation, the innkeeper went to the back kitchen to cook, Ye Beijiang picked up a jar of wine in front of the cabinet with some frustration, walked to the door of the inn, drank it all, and listened to the shopkeeper's words, which made him feel depressed.

Ye Yunyi, who saw that Ye Beijiang had something on his mind, also picked up a jar of wine and walked to Ye Beijiang's side, and the two happened to see that the door of the inn was full, which coincided with the autumn day in Chudi, but due to the climate in Chudi, even if it was autumn, the leaves were still emerald green, but it was that dark green, and there was a lack of the tender color of spring.

At this time, it was almost night, close to dusk, the sky was drizzling, in the drizzle, the light fog gradually rose, the father and son stood in the fog, at this moment Ye Beijiang's mood was like the road shrouded in fog, confused.

"Father, do you have anything on your mind?" Ye Yunyi was the first to speak.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little disappointed in the court of Chu, I've been naïve all these years and thought that the calamity of Chu is only the Yan State and the Jin State outside, but I didn't expect that the Chu State that I have worked hard to protect for most of my life is worse than when I left."

Ye Yunyi, who seemed to feel something, looked at the misty drizzle in front of him, stretched out his hand to catch the small droplets of water dripping from under the eaves, and the cold feeling was transmitted to his whole body through his fingertips. While Ye Yunyi agreed with Ye Beijiang's statement, he had some different opinions. The biggest problem of Chu is not as simple as it seems, it is the national capital that has rotted from the roots, but he has to do his best to pull Chu back.

And he has already started the layout very early, but this is just the next journey, and he may face greater dangers, which may be the fate of their Ye family.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how long it will take to get from here to the next county," Ye Yunyi asked loudly towards the inside of the inn.

The innkeeper poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Guest, it will take about three days to get from here to the next county, and if you are in a hurry, it will take you a day. ”

"That's it, then you can give us a pot of hot wine, we haven't drunk hot wine for a long time, just today's scenery, we can drink enough."

"Good Lat, you two wait a minute, and then we will arrive."

"Yunyi, why don't we hurry back, but go back slowly?" After the store retracted back and continued to warm the wine, Ye Beijiang retracted his gaze and asked with some puzzlement.

"Father, I know you are eager to go home, but not all of us hope that we can go back safely, I am waiting for those people to make a move, the reason why we go back slowly is to let them show their feet, first to attack us, and then to say, we can see the changes in the Chu State over the years, and secondly, ......"

"Well, is there anything hard to say?" Seeing that Ye Yunyi stopped halfway through speaking, he asked suspiciously.

"I'm sorry father, there are some things that I can't tell you for the time being, now my father must also know the current situation of the Chu State, and what I want to do is to change this status quo, and there must be some people who don't want us to go back alive, whether it's me or you, father." Ye Yunyi explained.

Hearing Ye Yunyi's explanation, Ye Beijiang is experienced in a hundred battles after all, what kind of intrigue has not been seen, and he immediately understood that Ye Yunyi was using him and himself as bait, tempting people to do it, at this moment they are like bait in the wolf pack, and they will hang up if they are not careful.

"Haha, it seems that I am not as good as you, I didn't expect my son to do better than me", Ye Beijiang, who understood Ye Yunyi's intentions, laughed with relief, and the laughter echoed in the quiet tavern.

"I hope my father doesn't blame me, I know that when we go back this time, sooner or later, we will meet people from which states and counties, or my enemies, instead of letting them hide in the dark all the time, it is better for me to force them out, whether they are dead or alive, it depends on the road in front of us," Speaking of this, Ye Yunyi smiled at Ye Beijiang, but there was sadness in this smile that only their father and son would understand.

Ye Beijiang knew that his son finally embarked on the same path as him, but he walked the golden iron horse and the smoke of gunfire, while his son walked intrigue and dirty calculations, but he was burdened with an invisible mission.

"Are you sure?" Ye Beijiang looked at Ye Yunyi seriously, wanting to see some changes on his face, such a dead end was not what Ye Beijiang wanted to see, even if it was death, he only hoped that he would go alone, instead of letting Ye Yunyi take risks with him.

"No," Ye Yunyi shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be relaxed, in fact, Ye Yunyi had no bottom in his heart, this time he was not facing an army of life and death, but a secret stab from his own people, when facing the 200,000 army of Yan State, Ye Yunyi dared to take risks, went around behind the enemy, and turned the Jin State and Yan Guo around, in the face of the conspiracy set up by the Jin State in the West Sea, Ye Yunyi could calmly resolve it layer by layer, but in the face of these "own people" of Chu State, Ye Yunyi had no chance of winning and self-confidence.

"You shouldn't have caught you in this game, they didn't come for you, you can use me as bait, you laid it out outside, why don't you leave a back for the Ye family", Ye Beijiang looked at Ye Yunyi with some sadness after listening to Ye Yunyi's words.

When Ye Yunyi's mother had a difficult birth, his wife desperately wanted to give birth to him, and he still remembered that he was in front of his wife, holding her weak hand tightly, enduring the grief in his heart, saying that he must raise Ye Yunyi, but as a result, he not only broke his promise over the years, but this time I am afraid that I will be buried together on this road back to Beijing.

"How can I watch my father go down and walk alone, so I have a companion with you", Ye Yunyi quipped.

"Two guest officers, the wine you want is here, come in quickly, it's very cold outside in the autumn wind and rain, if you are not careful, you will suffer from the wind and cold, quickly drink some warm wine, go to the cold", the shopkeeper put the warm wine on the table.

"Okay, shopkeeper, you can put it wherever you want," Ye Yunyi saw the warm wine, walked over and poured two large bowls, waiting for Ye Beijiang to come over.

"Yun Niang, you have to bless our son well in the sky, don't worry, I will come down to accompany you soon", Ye Beijiang thought in his heart.

The autumn weather in Chudi quickly darkened, and in the inn, several old tables were placed inside, and some of them had accumulated some dust. There were some wine jugs on the counter not far away, and the wooden staircase next to it was already a little dilapidated, but there were some wooden planks that were simply reinforced, so the father and son sat in such an inn, and drank slowly to the sound of the drizzle outside beating the fallen leaves.
