Chapter 9 - Self-defeating and False Becoming True
"Grandpa, I heard my father and second uncle chatting about it, that Guo Bingzhong is the weakest among the twelve third-class kings of Donglan Kingdom, and the taxes of the three border cities are afraid that self-protection will be a problem, and the combat effectiveness of the army is even weaker. ”
"Yun Feng, in fact, you are a smart person, but unfortunately, it is spoiled by you, this habit you can't change in a day or two, if you can follow the right path, over time, you will definitely have a bright future. ”
"Grandpa, there's something I don't understand. ”
"Say it. ”
"With Guo Bingzhong's strength, how could he rebel? And even if he rebelled, why would he use the power of the Yue Zhi Kingdom?"
Hearing Ye Yunfeng's question, Ye Shangde's eyes, which were originally cloudy, instantly brightened.
A person like Ye Shangde, who has achieved fame, glory and wealth, and is well-known in the entire Donglan Kingdom, has no pursuit of anything for him, and the only thing he worries about is whether the foundation he has laid can continue.
His three sons, the eldest son Ye Jingshan, the second rank of the Donglan Kingdom Zixiang Wang, the second son Ye Jinghe, the official to the Donglan State Inspector's Office Seal Officer, the third son Ye Jingyuan, the official to the Chongli Mansion Seal Officer, are all powerful officials, but Ye Shangde did not have the slightest slackness.
Because the official careers of these three sons have come to an end.
In other words, except for the eldest son Ye Jingshan, who is still a little capable, the other two sons are ordinary goods, and the reason why they became the supreme governors of the two of the nine mansions is mostly his Ye Shangde's face.
If the Ye family only relies on these three sons, let alone continue to move forward, even self-preservation will be a problem.
The number of people in Donglan Kingdom who hate the Ye family is not enough, and now they can still move, these people have more or less scruples, if they are not there in the future, then the Ye family will not be the fish on the chopping block of those people?
And even now, aren't there people who have jumped out?
When these flashed through Ye Shangde's mind, he made a decision.
"Yunfeng, you are not a hopeless person, from now on, you have to learn to take responsibility, you are seventeen years old, when I am so old to you, I am already a small officer in the army, the blue is better than the blue, you can't be worse than me, you go and prepare immediately, and go with the army!"
"Grandpa, me"
This time, it was Ye Yunfeng's turn to be shocked.
He said before that he was not afraid, but in fact, it was not his original intention at all, but Tang Shuya taught him.
Tang Shuya can be said to know her father-in-law very well, she privately told Ye Yunfeng that if the old man asks him, he must say that he is not afraid, and he must show that decisive mood. Because Ye Shangde has a very strange temper, he hates timid and cowardly people the most, the more you are afraid, the more he has to let you go, and if you don't care, then maybe the old man will find a way to protect you, after all, the third generation of the Ye family is such a lone seedling, no matter how heroic the old man is, he has to think more about the inheritance of the Ye family.
Ye Yunfeng listened to Tang Shuya's words, so he behaved like this, but he didn't expect things to be different from what he expected.
"What's wrong?"
"Grandpa, I'm afraid I'll lose my life. ”
"Huh?" Ye Shangde's face had just improved, and in the blink of an eye, it changed again.
Actually, he was not reluctant, the sentence just now was also said on a whim, assuming that Ye Yunfeng was tougher and more resolute, maybe they would regret it immediately.
However, Ye Yunfeng's sudden change of attitude made Ye Shangde suddenly angry again.
"Hmph! The Ye family has no bad seeds! They all say that the Ye family is a prince who is scattered all over the world, but who knows that this is all what I fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield back then, and the descendants of the Ye family can't live on the exploits of the elders, this matter doesn't need to be discussed, you go and pack up your things immediately, and wait for the day the army sets off, go with me!"
"Grandpa, grandpa! I've never fought or been on the battlefield, if I really die outside, what will my father and my mother do!" Ye Yunfeng was really panicked now, don't look at him sometimes he seems serious, but when he encounters this kind of fatal thing, he will immediately be revealed.
"If the Ye family doesn't have a promising person! I'd rather break up the Ye family! Get out!"
As soon as Ye Shangde became angry, Ye Yunfeng was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and immediately ran out.
After running out, he was so frightened that tears were about to come out.
Suddenly, he bumped into a person, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Tang Shuya.
"Mother!"
"Feng'er, how is it? What did your grandfather tell you to go?"
"Mother, grandpa, grandpa, he asked me to pack my things and follow him to the war!"
"What? Did you do what I said?"
"Mother, what kind of bad idea did you come up with, I just did what you said, I said I was not afraid, but grandpa later said let me pack up my things and get ready! Mother, you have to save me, I don't want to go to war! I'm afraid of death, I don't want to go!"
Ye Yunfeng was already full of tears at the moment, but he didn't dare to cry, he could only suppress his throat, his hoarse voice and hideous face, Tang Shuya was so distressed that he was about to faint.
"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry, let your father and your grandfather see it, and I have to scold you, you go back to the room first, my mother will go to your grandfather's place, don't worry, my mother won't let you go!"
"Mother, you must let my grandfather help me, I won't go out to play casually in the future, I will study at home, practice martial arts at home, accompany you at home, beat your legs and wash your feet, please!"
"Okay, okay, you go back to the room and stay, remember, if your mother doesn't come back, don't go out to play, forget it, don't go back to the room, find a random place in our house to hide first, so as not to let your grandfather find you." ”
"I know, mother, when will you come back?"
"If it's fast, I'll be back in the evening, and if it's slow, my mother will be back before noon tomorrow." ”
"Mother, you have to come back quickly!"
"You kid, do you still need your instructions? ”
"Hmm!"
After Ye Yunfeng ran away, Tang Shuya sorted out her emotions, immediately returned to the room, took some silver taels on her body, and then called her mother's personal maid and walked towards the door.
When she arrived at the gate, she was just about to go out, but the guard in front of the door immediately stopped her.
"Madame, are you going out?"
"Well, go out and take a walk. ”
"Madam, His Royal Highness King Xiang has an order, you can't go out today. ”
"Presumptuous! I want to go out, he Ye Jingshan took care of me?
"Don't embarrass us, lady!" a few guards didn't move, and just put their bodies across the door.
"Don't embarrass me, I'm very depressed, I'm going to go out for a walk, get out of the way. ”
