The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

The stability of a dynasty has to go through countless wars, and the rivers and mountains are stained with blood, even the Great Zhou, the dynasty that is at the peak of today's barbaric continent!

In Nandu County, at night, the lights of thousands of homes are gradually extinguished, and the sky is getting darker and darker! Only the Ye Mansion in the city is still vaguely shining!

The maids and stewards in the house are busy with their own work, carrying water and water, making fires, and making beds.... In front of the door, Ye Xiao, who was nearly thirty years old, paced back and forth from time to time, looking into the house from time to time, and the painful shouts of his wife were always touching his heart. I don't know how long later, with the baby's cry of "wow", Ye Xiao's hanging heart calmed down!

In the room, Mrs. Wen shouted happily: "Ye Gongzi, Ye Gongzi come and see, it's a handle, little master, little master"

Ye Xiao didn't delay when he heard this, he rushed into the house like a fly, looked at the tired lady, and said distressedly, "Qing'er, hard work, hard work." On the other hand, he hurriedly took the child in Wen Po's hand, and looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes, his eyes were full of soft light.

"Aunt Liu, you go down and rest first." Ye Xiao held the child in his arms and hugged him for a while and said, seeing that he really couldn't stop the baby from crying, he reluctantly put it next to Qingyi, and it was strange that the crying sound stopped. Qingyi looked at the child sideways, wanting to reach out and touch it, but her whole body couldn't exert her strength, so she had no choice but to give up. Seeing this, Wen Po told a few words of attention to the matters that need to be paid attention to, and then retreated. The maids and stewards in the house gathered together, so lively, and the lady gave birth tonight and gave birth to the little master.

In the room, Qingyi, who had been relieved for a long time, said weakly, "Brother Xiao, the child hasn't been named yet, you can give one to me."

Ye Xiao reacted at this time, pacing back and forth in the room, frowning for a while, shaking his head for a while, and smiling embarrassedly, "Qing'er, you should take the child's name, I am a rough person, I can only dance swords and guns, if it is about eating and drinking, I can do it, this name is too difficult."

Qing Yi slowed down and said "Okay", and thought for a while, "Then call Ye Ping, I hope he will be safe and sound for the rest of his life."

Ye Xiao listened, and immediately echoed, "Okay, then call Ye Ping, this world is not peaceful, let's go against the trend and let him be safe for a lifetime."

Under the moonlight, the Ye Mansion, which had been busy for a long time, gradually quieted down, the morning light was slightly dewed, it seemed that it was a sunny day again, and the wind blowing through Nandu County seemed to be a little fishier, and everyone in the city knew that the war in the south was becoming more and more tragic.

This seemingly peaceful Great Zhou Dynasty was also constantly facing the provocations of the surrounding enemies, and the Nanban tribes south of Nandu County became more and more difficult as the storm gathered. They began to prepare for the invasion of the north again.

Early in the morning, a letter from the capital was sent from the post house in Nandu County, and the post envoy sent it to Yefu non-stop.

Ye Xiao took the letter and looked at the departing messenger, his eyebrows widened, the letter was from today's son Zhou An. The meaning of the letter was as big as "Big brother, fortunately you are still in Nandu County all these years, so that the people in the county can be peaceful." Count the days, my sister-in-law should also give birth, I don't know if it is a son or a daughter, when it is convenient, I must bring my sister-in-law and children to the capital for a gathering. Ye Xiao looked at the letter and thought of the events of that year.

Ye Xiao met His Royal Highness by chance and unexpectedly became brothers of the opposite sex. It is rumored that Ye Xiao's own strength was not bad back then, and he had reached the third stage of refining his body at a young age, and now he is even more extraordinary, and he has broken through to the fourth stage! If it weren't for the fact that Ye Xiao was still in Nandu County all these years, the barbarians would have already made Nandu County inhuman.

At that time, he was young and promising, but he had no choice but to leave the sect and hide in the world when he encountered injustice, and he also met the son in this Nandu County. Ye Xiao watched that the man did not compromise under the beating of several thieves, and he also had to protect the escort. I think this person is stupid, but he is also a masterpiece. So he came to his aid. Several thieves, with the strength of his martial arts third stage, in a few breaths, the thieves leaders all turned on their backs, defeated, all screaming in pain, and even the appearance of the person who came here has not been seen clearly!

After Zhou An was rescued by Ye Xiao, several thieves were still shouting and asking him to wait, but in fact, they all covered the sore spots and ran away with the team.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou An's dirty and sloppy clothes in gorgeous clothes, with a dirty face, and he looked very pitiful when he ate a mouth full of mud, and couldn't help but feel funny, "Little brother, are you okay?"

Zhou An looked at the person who came, thinking that there was such a master in the world, but he forgot to answer.

"Little brother, little brother, are you okay" Ye Xiao called again, and by the way, he shook his hand in front of Zhou An's eyes.

Zhou An came to his senses at this time, realized that he had lost his manners, and hurriedly said, "No, it's okay, big brother."

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou An, who was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was still a little elixir on his body, and took it out of his arms and gave it to Zhou An.

Da

Ye Xiao looked at the person who came, and realized that it should be Zhou An's person, and felt that for unnecessary trouble, he said, "Little brother, we will have a date later." As soon as the words fell, only to hear a "whoosh", Ye Xiao climbed the treetops in two steps and disappeared.

Zhou An hurriedly got up, and before he could react, he was no longer in sight, he had to shout to the distance, "Big brother, thank you for saving your life" I wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start, only the woods were left with his own echo. Zhou An looked into the distance, his eyes full of admiration.

A group of people who came from afar saw Zhou An, hurriedly dismounted, and crawled over on their knees, with a panicked face, "Your Highness forgives your sins, and your subordinates are too late to save the car"

Zhou An looked at the person who came, "Commander Lu, you all get up, I'm fine"

Lu Li got up slowly, looking at Zhou An, obviously sloppy, and there were bruises in many places, but His Royal Highness seemed to have nothing to do, and even seemed more energetic, Lu Li was a little puzzled but didn't say anything. Only then did he prepare horses for Zhou An alone, and went to Nandu County surrounded by everyone. On the way, Zhou An said that if you want to keep a low profile outside, if you see him on weekdays, you can call him Gongzi, and you don't need to call Your Highness.

At that time, Nandu County was in a precarious situation, and the city was sparsely populated, leaving only the soldiers who defended the city and some lonely old people who did not want to leave their homeland. There are ruins everywhere, and the wind and sand are blowing in waves, and it seems that they can bury this place at any time.

In a slightly gorgeous inn in the city, Ye Xiao ordered a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, two taels of beef, and sat in the corner alone to drink. At this time, Zhou An changed into clean and plain clothes and rushed here with a group of people.

Zhou An looked at this slightly complete inn, and couldn't help but feel sad, it was originally intact Nandu County, but due to the invasion of the Nanban tribe, it led to today's tragic desolation, a city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, this slightly complete inn in the inner city of Nandu County has now become particularly conspicuous. Zhou An and his entourage attracted the attention of the people around them as soon as they entered the inn, and groups of people have rarely come here in recent years.

Ye Xiao was still drinking, indulging in food, Zhou An had already noticed him, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but step forward to say hello.

"Hey, big brother, you're here too, what a coincidence." With a smile on his face, he sat down. The rest of the staff also looked for a place to sit down.

Ye Xiao looked at the person who came, and couldn't help but think of Zhou An's appearance in the forest, and smiled, "Little brother, what are you doing here?" It's not a very peaceful place."

Zhou An looked at Ye Xiao's natural expression, and didn't care about being in danger, and suddenly felt that Ye Xiao was even more mysterious, with a look of worship in his eyes.

"I was ordered by my father to send something here, and I will leave for it in a short time. I was in the forest before, thank you for my big brother's life-saving grace."

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter" Ye Xiao picked up the wine and drank it, looking at Zhou An, "Why don't you have some?" by the way, he picked up a clean cup and handed it to Zhou An.

Zhou An was not polite, took the wine glass, and drank with Ye Xiao. This is also a rare liveliness of this inn for many years

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Zhou An asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"

Ye Xiao drank a glass of wine, and waited for a long time before he spoke, "Come back and see the old man, but I never thought that things were wrong."

Zhou An thought for a while and said, "Big brother, don't worry, sooner or later, it will become better here than before."

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou An, not knowing if this was a foolish thing he said when he was drunk, or if he really meant it. But none of this matters, now he is just coming back to see, and looking for someone.

Outside the city, the barbarian tribes are constantly approaching, and now they are only dozens of miles away from the Half Moon Valley, and it seems that they may be killed at any time, but fortunately, there are still a group of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty who are not afraid of life and death in front to resist them.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou An rested in the inn for a night, and gradually woke up from drinking, only to remember that he didn't know how to call this benefactor who had saved him, and was about to bother again, only to find that Ye Xiao was no longer in the guest room.

In front of a collapsed house, Ye Xiao looked at the decaying plaque, and a large, vermilion leaf character loomed. The house is in disrepair, and it is not easy to stand here in this stormy day. When he was a child, he was picked up by his master from here.

Ye Xiao became an orphan since he was a child, and after the death of his parents, his family fell into disarray. The only thing that he can miss is this place where he was sheltered from the wind and rain, and the group of children who begged for food together, but this place is not what he remembered anymore, and he didn't see the people of the year.

Ye Xiao looked around again, and remembered that the house next to him belonged to Old Man Li's back then, and his family's peach was not very good, it was too small, but when it was about to mature, it was always a few times a few, this was their masterpiece, and Old Man Li couldn't catch up with them when he found out. In the past, Uncle Zhang's family was Uncle Zhang's, Uncle Zhang's temper was weird, and the children were very afraid of him, although sometimes they would provoke him, who called his pork too tempting, and Uncle Li's meat buns, sugar steamed buns, Aunt Liu's butter cakes, red dates and melons in Granny Yang's stall, etc. Unconsciously, Ye Xiao had quietly walked to the edge of the city, this old street that was not prosperous in the past, because there were many acquaintances, familiar land, and a group of children who depended on each other. It was one of the most beautiful places in his heart as a young man, but none of that was gone.
