"You...... Where are you going? When Cui Shi heard this, his eyebrows furrowed again, and he was not very reassured.

Ye Yongjia smiled lightly: "Suidi." Discuss with Dong Congming and make plans for the next step. ”

Cui Shi glanced at him a few more times, and his face changed slightly: "Your illness has not been cured, and your body is weak, and you need to recuperate." The border is so cold, and there is often a strong wind, in case you have a mistake, how can you be good? ”

Ye Yongjia looked at her wistfully for a long time, and suddenly gently pulled her arm up: "Miss Cui, you don't live for me, you have your own personality and your own thoughts, this is something that God has given you, you shouldn't give them to others." So, you should value yourself the most, because if I ......"

After that will be a 'dead' word. But Ye Yongjia didn't have the courage to speak, he slowly put down Cui's hands, swallowed the sad emotion, said goodbye with a long farewell, and turned around and walked out of the house. When he was about to close the door, he couldn't help but freeze in place when he saw Cui Shi bowing his head and weeping, and his lips trembled.

"Your sister...... Did I hate you? He was still staring at the picture and asked Cui Yidao beside him.

Cui Yi replied: "I probably hated it at the beginning." But she didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't just follow my wishes and push the boat down the river. ”

"If only she could hate me. I might be a little more relieved. With that, he wiped the corners of his eyes and walked away.

On this midwinter night, it rained and snowed all over Suidi Town, which quickly spread throughout the entire camp, making the coldness of the border pass even worse. The soldiers hurriedly took the lanterns, put on the lampshades, and shone a few people who came from the snow from a distance-the head was Ye Yongjia, the secretary of the military department, who wore an old mink robe, and led Dong Sheng and Cui Yi straight to the front of the camp.

"You all stand down," Dong Sheng said, "I have something to talk about with Lord Ye." ”

The soldiers obeyed the order to leave, and Dong Sheng invited the two into the big tent and sat by the bonfire.

"There's nothing wrong with you, is there?" Ye Yongjia dusted off the snow on his clothes, and some even formed ice slag.

Dong Sheng sighed: "When Cai Lao dies, the Chen Party must be arrogant, this is a helpless thing. I've heard a little bit of wind here, too. ”

"What's the wind?" Cui Yi asked urgently.

"Recently, some people have returned from the capital and said that the court seems to be interested in dismantling the new army. Since the end of the merchants' access, it has become more and more difficult to equip the army with firearms, and if they are made on their own, it will have a great impact on the expenditure of the national treasury. ”

"Yes," Ye Yongjia nodded, "Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been a famine in many places, and relief is urgently needed. ”

"If the household department can't pay the money, it will inevitably be wantonly exclaimed, and it will be the people who will suffer," Dong Sheng stared at the blazing flames in front of him and said, "It's better to disarm them and let the people of the world take a breath." ”

Ye Yongjia was quite hesitant, but Cui Yi got up and said, "Dong Jianjun, your words are too weak!" The imperial court did not cultivate morality and politics, and the atmosphere was erosive, which caused today's situation, what does it have to do with this small firearms? If this is the case, why not tear down all the side walls and not pay a single cent of military salary, so that the deficit can be made up! This is already one of the few good governance practices today, and if we don't desperately keep it, we really won't have anything left. ”

Ye Yongjia was greatly touched when he heard this, retracted his hands that were roasting, and said firmly: "I will not give up." When the turmoil subsides a little, after returning to Beijing, he will fight to the death with the emperor. ”

"How many percent are you going to do?" Dong Sheng asked.

"I don't know," Ye Yongjia wrapped his mink robe tightly and shook his head, "but...... Since there is a road in Huashan, let's walk with my head bored. ”

"What are you going to do?" Cui Yi's eyes rolled, and he asked with a tentative mind.

"This matter is very important, and the officials alone can't make the decision, so they can only be discussed by the capital. Minghui Guang is there to participate in politics, and Prime Minister Su Zongshan's right and left hand can interfere with decision-making through him. ”

"Can you let the dispatch be in the middle of the bottom?" Cui Yi asked.

"Don't play this kind of trick in front of me," Ye Yongjia glanced at him coldly, and immediately replied, "The great enemy is currently in need of working together, so let go of the past grievances for the time being." ”

Cui Yi hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, don't forget, I'm still doing the errand of wooing Zeng Liang." He Minghuiguang doesn't know anything about this, how can he take charge of the overall situation? In case there is progress on the other side, this side does not know how to cooperate, and they go their own way, how can they fight against the Chen Party? ”

"It's all excuses. He's in the Criminal Department, isn't he also your superior? Why don't you just report everything to him? Ye Yongjia was a little angry, "Also, when talking about business, you are not allowed to be commensurate with relatives!" ”

Cui Yi was so reproached by him that he didn't dare to speak out, but he was not very convinced, and followed him out of the camp, still thinking about this matter in his heart. Ye Yongjia and Dong Sheng walked ahead, picking a suitable barracks for accommodation all the way, and unconsciously walked to the camp of the new army, and several soldiers guarding the gate immediately saluted: "See Lord Ye!" ”

Ye Yongjia came to them, looked at it, and let out a few bitter laughs: "Have you seen me?" ”

"Ye Gong's name is like thunder, although we haven't seen the face in person, but I have always heard people describe it, so I can see it at a glance." One of them said.

The other person said with a smile: "Ye Gong begged for a lot of money for us, and sent me firearms, so that I was able to kill the enemy and serve the country, and often made meritorious contributions, so unhappy!" ”

The rain and snow had not stopped, and the fierce cold wind had invaded over and over again, but the soldiers still stood straight, clutched their shotguns, and kept an eye on their surroundings, even though their legs were frozen and stiff, they did not move half a step under their feet, and stood as tall as pine plums. Thinking of the uncertain future of this team, Ye Yongjia couldn't help but feel ashamed, and even couldn't bear to tell them the news of the dismissal.

"I'm afraid that the more I do, the more I will bear a sin," Ye Yongjia suddenly had such a decisive thought, "It's better to fall into this endless snow, maybe it can be considered a good ending, after all, there is a picturesque scenery......

He slowly walked up to the soldier, looked at the weapon in his hand, and seemed to whisper: "What a good firebolt......" Before the man could react, he grabbed the mouth of the bird's gun, leaned down, aimed at his head, and his eyes were filled with a cold air: "What will happen if you shoot here?" ”

The soldier turned pale with fright: "Yu, Yu, the villain doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Ye Yongjia repeated these two words, sneering lightly, "Is there anything in the world that no one dares to do?" Hateful! Hateful! With that, he shook his head and walked straight away. Dong Sheng was afraid that he would be stimulated again, so he didn't dare to disturb him, and silently followed him.

"Master Dong, you'd better make time tomorrow, I have to discuss something with you," Cui Yi said waitingly, "It's about my generation's life and death." ”
