Chapter Seventy-Four, Brothers Met Unexpectedly
However, it was said that after the Zhendong Army returned to the eastern front, Liu Hai was awarded the general of the charge for his military merits, and he was appointed as the commander of the special guard battalion in the Zhendong Army, leading 16,000 men and horses in the four standards.
The construction of General Ye's Mansion in the east of the town has been completed, and Ye Jingqiu reported to the marshal that he wanted to go to Baihe City in the territory of the Houzheng Empire, and pick up his uncle Li Xiao to come to support the elderly, after all, Uncle Li has no descendants, and he is alone.
Ye Jingqiu made this request, and it was naturally approved. When Na Luohu and Xiong Zihui heard about it, they also made a request to go home and have a look.
Luo Hu's father is a rich man, and there is a son in the family, so naturally he will not give up his family business to follow. Xiong Zihui has an old mother at home, and he also wants to move here to support the elderly.
Marshal Hua Qingping naturally approved it together.
So Ye Jingqiu, Luo Hu, and Xiong Zihui took off their military uniforms, changed into civilian clothes, brought weapons, and walked all the way.
In the territory of the Xiding Empire, the three of them changed to a stagecoach, and saw the border with the Yiyu Empire, and the three of them bought three silver wildebeest horses in the border market and went straight to the direction of Banshan City
Along the way, although the three of them were talking and laughing all the time, Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but think of his father, aunt and two brothers.
Ye Jingqiu remembered things relatively early, he began to remember when he was one and a half years old, and he remembered things clearly when he was five years old.
β...... Fang melon leaves, move, the eldest sister marries the second sister and sends it, the third sister blows, the fourth sister beats, and the fifth sister wants to ride a big flower horse......"
- This is a children's song that grandma sang to herself back then.
"Second brother, you watched the third brother on the shore and watched me catch fish. After Ye Jingchun instructed the second brother and the third brother, a fierce son plunged into the stream, and after half a day's work, Ye Jingchun rushed out of the water, holding a carp in his hand, the fish struggled to shake its head and tail, and he called out in surprise "I want to eat big fish......
- This is the past of the three brothers catching fish in the bay in the summer.
Once, in the valley, I followed behind the second brother, the second brother played pigweed, and I ran blindly behind, and suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded in people's hearts: Hahahaha!
With the sound of laughter, a madwoman appeared! The madwoman swooped down like a ghost!
Ye Jingqiu was so frightened that he cried!
The second brother exclaimed in the back: "Who are you? leave my brother ......."
ββYe Jingqiu clearly remembered that he was robbed by the crazy woman in this way! Now it seems that the crazy woman did not kill his second brother casually, which is also a kind of luck!
The past is vivid, and the past is unbearable!
......
Luo Hu didn't have that eyesight, but Xiong Zihui saw it, and immediately asked, "Brother Ye seems to be unhappy?"
"Well, it's a long story, and I just happened to remember family matters. Speaking of this, Ye Jingqiu refused to say more.
Luo Hu didn't look at it, and immediately asked: "What's unsatisfactory about Brother Ye's family affairs?"
Xiong Zihui listened to his senior brother's words, and knew that if Ye Jingqiu was unwilling to say it, his senior brother should not take the liberty of asking, so Xiong Zihui interrupted:
"Born in the world, but who has come before, who is not a person with a story? Who is not a story that cannot be told in three days and three nights?"
Luo Hu didn't understand the intention of his junior brother, so he took over and said, "Senior brother, why do I think I don't have any stories to tell in this half of my life?
Xiong Zihui said with a smile: "Senior brother was born in a rich family since he was a child, and he has been exposed to wind and rain less, of course, there are not as many stories as ours. β
- Ye Jingqiu was full of thoughts, followed Luo Hu and Xiong Zihui, and three days later, he arrived in Banshan City.
At noon, three horsemen came from outside the west gate of the city, one with beautiful eyebrows, the appearance of a rich child, carrying a single knife with a sheath at his waist; a black-faced man, like a humanoid black bear, carrying a double sword; and the other, walking between the two, between the eyebrows, a little vicissitudes of life, but shouldering a heavy sword.
The three of them traveled all the way, squandering and laughing, as if no one was around. When they arrived at the city gate cave, the city guards shouted, and the three of them jumped off their horses together, and they all saw that they were all martial arts masters, and their bodies naturally exuded a murderous aura.
The city guard is very discerning, and the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes have also seen a lot, so they simply asked what they were doing, and the three of them replied that they were past merchants.
This is obviously nonsense, but the city guards didn't take it seriously, so they let it into the city. These three people are naturally Ye Jingqiu and them.
"Brother Ye, let's find a restaurant and have a few drinks. When we leave this city, Senior Brother Xiong and I will part ways with Brother Ye. β
"Well, I don't know what alcohol tastes like all these years. The person who answered the call was Ye Jingqiu, who was injured a lot before he entered the Zhendong Army, and the life in the Santai Workshop in Baihe City had no alcohol to drink. In the past year in the army, in order to practice martial arts, learn formations, and the art of war, especially to learn internal skills, he has never drunk alcohol.
So it's also bitter, Ye Jingqiu has never touched a drop of wine since he was a child, although he is nearly thirty years old, in terms of wine, he is just like a virgin.
Not far in front is Yuelai Restaurant. The three of them didn't pay attention to the grade of the restaurant, and went straight upstairs.
"Three guest officers, what do you want to eat?" the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him.
"Three catties of beef, a plate of drunken shrimp, a plate of ears, and a plate of peanuts. The wine wants the best blue and white in the city, come to the three altars!"
"Okay!" the shopkeeper went down.
Ye Jingqiu and the three of them sat down, just waiting for the second child to serve the food.
"Shopkeeper, is today's firewood in the backyard or in the sideyard?" said a man.
"It's Brother Jingchun, Brother Jingxia, please come to the backyard. A middle-aged woman's voice sounded, it turned out that the shopkeeper of the hotel was not there, and it was the shopkeeper's mother-in-law who came out to arrange that the two brothers who sent firewood.
On the second floor, Ye Jingqiu stood up suddenly, surprised in his heart: "This Jingchun Jingxia brother, isn't it my eldest brother Ye Jingchun and second brother Ye Jingxia?"
"Brother Ye, what's the matter?" asked Xiong Zihui.
"Brother Luo, Brother Xiong, I'm going to see the two firewood sellers downstairs. Ye Jingqiu said.
"Since Brother Ye wants to go down, let's go down and have a look. As he spoke, Luo Hu and Xiong Zihui also stood up.
"Brother Luo, Brother Xiong, don't bother you, I'm just going to see those two who are just selling firewood, and they seem to be my acquaintances. β
"Since Brother Ye wants to meet an acquaintance and talk, my brother is waiting for you here. β
Luo Hu also asked Ye Jingqiu to invite the acquaintance to come up and drink together, but was stopped by Xiong Zihui. Xiong Zihui used to go to the rivers and lakes often, but when Ye Jingqiu had something to say to the two of them, it was inconvenient for his senior brother to disturb Ye Jingqiu and the three of them talking; if it was convenient, Ye Jingqiu would introduce friends to his senior brother.
This is Xiong Zihui's experience in the rivers and lakes, and Luo Hu rarely goes to the rivers and lakes, so naturally he doesn't have such knowledge, so he listened to his junior brother. Xiong Zihui didn't expect that with experience, this time he guessed that it was not like that at all.
said that Ye Jingqiu had to come downstairs, so he called the shopkeeper. Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Guest officer, it's a coincidence today, there are more guests, and the speed of serving food is a little unstable, so it's slow to treat the guest officer, please bear with me!"
"That's not the case, let me ask you where the firewood deliverer just now went?"
"Guest, you are looking for the two brothers who sell firewood! No, go to the backyard. The shopkeeper pointed to it.
Ye Jingqiu walked to the backyard, and through a moon gate, he saw the backs of two middle-aged men, two of them and a middle-aged woman negotiating the price there.
It seemed that the price had been negotiated, and the two men took out their poles and were about to speak, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Is it Ye Jingchun and Ye Jingxia?"
This voice, naturally, Ye Jingqiu is calling him the eldest brother and the second brother, he just doesn't call the eldest brother and the second brother as soon as he comes up, because the brothers haven't seen each other for 20 years, and their appearance has changed, but they are afraid of admitting their mistakes, but they are embarrassed and embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the two turned around, waved their flat poles, and hit their heads.
Ye Jingqiu was shocked: "Who are you two fruits?" and raised his hand to resist at the same time.
At this time, although Ye Jingqiu's inner strength method has not been cultivated, it is also a bit of a beginner. The important thing is that his body is not bad, not to mention that after rushing and killing in front of the two armies, he naturally has actual combat experience, so he grabbed the two flat poles as soon as he stretched out his hand.
The shopkeeper's mother-in-law was so frightened that she was about to call someone: "It's a fight-" but saw Ye Jingqiu smile:
"Is it the eldest brother and the second brother?"
Unexpectedly, the two ignored him, didn't want the flat burden, and didn't even want the money from selling firewood, so they turned around and ran away over the wall!
The shopkeeper's lady was still shouting, "Hey, hey!, you have firewood money." β
The shopkeeper lady said to Ye Jingqiu again:
"This guest officer, you always come to the small shop to eat? "This shopkeeper opened a shop in Mid-Levels City, so naturally she saw a lot of martial arts hawkers, but Ye Jingqiu was looking for a firewood seller to seek revenge, so she scared away the two brothers Jingchun and Xia.
However, she was also confused in her heart: the two brothers are usually low-key and honest, not like people with enemies?
Ye Jingqiu didn't care about talking to the shopkeeper's mother-in-law, and only asked, "Where do the two of them live?"
The shopkeeper's mother-in-law said in her heart that she was really seeking revenge, but she naturally wouldn't take on the disaster for her brothers in the spring and summer - is the shopkeeper the one who has no eyes to cause trouble for her family?
Ye Jingqiu asked, and she immediately said: "Guest officer, those brothers live in the south of the city. β
Ye Jingqiu said: "Okay!" So he turned around and walked out of the backyard, went up to the second floor and sat down.
"Why is Brother Ye's face unhappy?" Xiong Zihui was naturally much more clever than Luo Hu when he observed his words. When Luo Hu heard Xiong Zihui say this, he noticed that Ye Jingqiu's face was unhappy.
"To tell you the truth, I went downstairs because I suspected that those two were my two long-lost brothers. As soon as I grabbed him and asked him again, they ran off the wall. β
Xiong Zihui knew that Ye Jingqiu also had no experience in the rivers and lakes when he heard it, and immediately said: "If Brother Ye believes in my brother, I will be able to help you find these two people and ask if they are Brother Ye's two elder brothers." β
Ye Jingqiu only told Luo Hu and Xiong Zihui about his half-life experience at this time. After the two listened, Xiong Zihui said, "Brother Ye, does your father and brother's family have any enemies?"
"I was only five years old when I was taken out of captivity, how do I know if my father and brother have any enemies?"
"Well, if you look at the reaction of the two at that time, there must be an enemy. If my senior brother was also there at that time, I would definitely be able to leave the two of them and ask if they were Brother Ye's two elder brothers. β
Ye Jingqiu naturally has no experience in the rivers and lakes, if he wasn't a god at that time, he was delayed by the shopkeeper for a few words, with his martial arts, he jumped over the wall, and naturally he could catch up with the two.
Xiong Zihui didn't say anything, but said: "Since Brother Ye is looking for my brother, I will accompany Brother Ye on a trip to the south of the city." β
However, Xiong Zihui knew that if he went late, he was afraid that the two of them would even move home. So he beckoned: "Brother Ye, Senior Brother Luo, we have to go quickly, we won't find anyone if we go late." β
"Three guest officers, three catties of beef, a plate of drunken shrimp, a plate of ears, a plate of peanuts, and three jars of blue and white half-mountain red, come onββγ The shopkeeper sang the name of the dish and happened to arrive. Xiong Zihui directly grabbed Xiao Er, threw it aside, and gave him a silver ingot.
The three of them went downstairs like a whirlwind, asked for the way, got on the silver wildebeest, and went straight to the south of the city.
