Chapter 108 Cause and Effect
When Ye Zhaoyan woke up, it was already midnight of the second day.

She opened her sleepy eyes and found that she was lying in a clean tent, and the wound on her body had been treated with medicine and carefully bandaged.

There was still a clean veil on her forehead.

For a while it was like a dream.

It wasn't until there were bursts of pain in her limbs and chest that she realized that yesterday she was slapped by Ye Yunfei, and she vomited blood and passed out.

At this time, she heard the sound of Xisuo dressing outside the tent, as if someone was putting on clothes.

"Who?" Ye Zhaoyan called out vigilantly.

The movement outside stopped for a while, and a young soldier came in and bowed his hands to her, "Miss, my name is Chen Dahu, and I was ordered by Commander Ye to take care of you, and he ordered me to wait here to protect the safety of the young lady." .”

Chen Dahu?
Why is this name so familiar?

Ye Zhaoyan rubbed his head, carefully recalling what he saw and heard yesterday, and then he remembered that the young soldier in front of him was the one that Mrs. Ning asked her to bring the letter yesterday.

Her son's name is Chen Dahu!
"Why did Commander Ye choose you to guard my tent?" Ye Zhaoyan asked puzzled.

Chen Dahu smiled honestly and scratched his head, "I asked with the cheek. Miss Qi is wearing mother's clothes, and there is a letter written by mother. I am really curious. Miss Qi is fine after treatment, but unfortunately she is still in a coma. Miss Qi belongs to the eldest lady, so I will guard her."

Chen Dahu's explanation was reasonable, and Ye Zhaoyan didn't go into it further.

Hearing that Qi Duanshu had turned the corner, she sighed inwardly, and then thought of the tightly closed eyes of the boy in red.

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Chen Dahu hesitated for a while, but finally he mustered up the courage to ask his mother about his recent situation, and Ye Zhaoyan patiently explained them one by one.

"I also have one thing to ask you." Ye Zhaoyan finally said, "Do you know where the boy in red was yesterday and how he is now?"

Hearing Ye Zhaoyan mention the boy in red, Chen Dahu's expression changed slightly, "He is seriously injured and has been unconscious."

Ye Zhaoyan's heart tightened.

"Extremely injured? How serious is it? Is it life-threatening?"

"Not sure, but I heard that there is residual poison in his body." Chen Dahu said.

"Toxic?" Ye Zhaoyan frowned, his face fluctuating, "I want to see him!"

"This." Chen Dahu was a little embarrassed, "Two hours ago, he was picked up by his family, and many people came."

"Oh." Ye Zhaoyan nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

"Miss!" A familiar voice came, and Ye Zhaoyan raised his head, only to see Mr. Qi walking in with a bowl.

I haven't seen him for a few days, his complexion is a bit haggard, and he has aged a bit, which shows that he has exhausted himself during these days.

"Old Qi, why are you here?" Ye Zhaoyan was a little puzzled, Shangbi Mountain was high and dangerous, and Old Qi was old, so it was not easy to come up.

Old General Qi handed over the soup cup, "Miss, hurry up and drink it while it's hot, this old slave has been cooking for a long time."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi." Ye Zhaoyan reached out to take it.

Mr. Qi sat by the bed, looked at Ye Zhaoyan, and said in a solemn tone, "That day, this old slave will lead people down the mountain with the guards left by Mr. Wei to create opportunities for Shu'er to sneak into Ye Zhengping's tent, but who? I used to think that Ye Yunfei would have ambushed us all and locked us up until Ye Zhengping came, and the old slave learned that Shu Er was almost killed, but luckily Miss was by her side."

In a critical moment, if Ye Zhaoyan and Qi Duanshu hadn't fought hand in hand, Qi Duanshu would have been insulted by the villains!

When Ye Zhaoyan heard the words, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Qi Lao said: "Thanks to Miss this time, otherwise we would be in bad luck!"

"This incident was originally caused by me, and the responsibility should not be shifted to others." Ye Zhaoyan said, "Old Qi, you have worked hard all day, so go rest first. I don't need you to take care of me here."

"An old bone, I've been used to it for a long time, so there's nothing serious about it." Qi Lao waved his hand, and said seriously: "Miss, this old servant is worried about Madam. Now that the Ye family has undergone such a drastic change, everyone in the Ye family is in panic. How is the lady now?"

His eyes were full of concern.

Ye Zhaoyan took a breath, thinking of Ye Fugui's pale and sickly face before leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, "I'll set off at dawn and go back on a fast horse!"

"No!" Qi Lao hurriedly stopped him, "You have just woken up, and the road to Shangbi Mountain is bumpy. If you ride a fast horse, your body may not be able to bear it."

Although Mr. Qi is old, his thinking is not slow.

He knew Ye Zhaoyan's character, if she ignored her injuries like this, she would definitely suffer from the root cause of the disease.

"Miss, why don't Commander Ye send the old slave down the mountain first?" Qi Lao stood up, "The old slaves on the left and right can't rest in peace, so it's better to spend a day in the carriage, so that you can go back to the house earlier to raise him! "

Ye Zhaoyan was silent for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

Before dawn, a simple carriage set off from Mount Shangbi.

Ye Zhaoyan took the medicine, fell asleep a few times, and was finally able to go to the ground.

In the early morning of the next day, dawn shrouded the barracks. Ye Zhaoyan was still ill and his mind was still a little dizzy, so he didn't plan to stay in the tent any longer.

After getting dressed, he followed the crowd to the gate of the barracks.

Outside the barracks, many soldiers of the Ye family had already gathered.

"Miss!" Seeing Ye Zhaoyan, everyone rushed forward to say hello.

It's been a few years since I saw the little girl who wielded knives and guns on horseback so beautifully.

Ye Zhaoyan nodded slightly, and looked at Ye Zhengping who was standing in the front.

At this moment, Ye Zhengping was dressed in military uniform, majestic and majestic, standing at the head of the army, looking down at the army below.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, he could bring Ye Jiajun back to Jindu Chengguan.

Thinking of the intentional or unintentional estrangement of those people two years ago, and the sudden change of direction in Ye Mansion overnight, he slowly touched the token in his arms.

It's time to do some reckoning.

"Commander, Missy is here!" Lian Luo reminded softly.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan approaching, Ye Zhengping nodded, did not speak, and walked directly to the side of the carriage, "Zhaoyan, you are still injured and the mountain road is bumpy, you should go home by carriage!"

Ye Zhaoyan did not reject Ye Zhengping's kindness, and simply got in neatly, and the group quickly galloped towards Jindu.

The carriage was slow, and Ye Zhengping also marched slowly considering the injuries of Ye Zhaoyan and the others. It took a whole day to cover most of the distance.

When the group arrived at Daoxing Pass near Jindu, it was already noon on the second day.

Ye Zhaoyan lifted the curtain and stuck his head out of the window, only to see cities rising from the ground, row upon row, like a dragon perched on the ground.

Jindu is already far away.

All the troops stationed there to rest, and Ye Zhengping took Ye Zhaoyan to rest at the tea stand by the road.

Just as Ye Zhaoyan sat down, there was a rush of hoofbeats.
