Chapter 128 Victory in the Battle
The smile on the woman's face got a little stronger, she took Ye Fugui's hand to look it up and down, and then said angrily: "You child, why did you get into such a state, you are so dirty!"

Hearing the woman's accusation, Ye Fugui curled his lips a little aggrieved.

Ye Zhengping, who was behind them, heard this, quickly wiped his dirty face with his sleeve, and lowered his head in shame, for fear that the two of them would notice him.

He lowered his head and looked at his feet wearing broken straw sandals. For some reason, a burst of bitterness surged in his heart, and his heart ached badly.

"Who is this?"

Lin's eyes fell on Ye Zhengping, his eyes flickered a few times, and he asked.

"Mother, this is the second dog I picked up on the street. I brought him to see you." Ye Fugui pointed at Ye Zhengping and said solemnly.

"Ergou?" Lin frowned, "You picked up a boy doll on the street, what about his parents?"

Lin looked at Ye Fugui's dirty clothes and hair, and thought to herself: Could it be a beggar?

Otherwise, how could he be dirty and wearing tattered clothes.

But the child was so handsome that he didn't look like a beggar at all.

"His parents are long gone. Just now a beggar snatched my cakes on the street. He saved me, so I brought him back." Ye Fugui blinked and lied.

"A beggar snatched your pastry?" Lin asked in surprise when she heard the words.

No one would dare to snatch the carriage of her Ye Mansion, not to mention the coachmen who traveled along the way were all very skilled.

"That's right! Those beggars are really bad, they robbed me of my cakes and bullied me." Ye Fugui nodded, and said very seriously, with anger written all over his little face.

Looking at Ye Fugui who was full of anger, Lin helplessly stretched out his hand and patted her head, and said softly: "Okay, don't be angry anymore. Ergou, thank you for saving my family, Fugui."

Ye Zhengping shook his head hastily when he heard this, and said shyly, "I, I."

He lowered his head, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't dare to lie with Ye Fugui.

When Ye Fugui heard his mother praise Ye Zhengping, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, only to see that his face was flushed red.

She smiled and took Lin's arm, "Mother, Ergou saved me, shall we give him food? Ergou only eats two steamed buns a day, so it's easy to feed him!"

When Ye Zhengping heard Ye Fugui's words, he quickly raised his head, his big black and white eyes were shining with hope, seeing Lin looking at him, he lowered his head nervously.

Seeing Ye Zhengping's eyes, Lin couldn't help laughing.

"Okay." Lin patted Ye Fugui's head affectionately, "Fugui knows how to repay his kindness, he is a good boy."

"Okay!" Ye Fugui cheered happily, hugged Lin and kissed her fiercely.

Lin smiled and pinched Ye Fugui's little nose.

Ye Zhengping stood on the spot and watched the scene in front of him, his heart seemed to jump out of his throat with excitement.

"Okay! Mother, let's go in, Ergou hasn't eaten yet."

Lin nodded, turned to Ye Zhengping and said, "Let's go! Ergou."

Ye Zhengping raised his head, his eyes were slightly wet, he nodded vigorously, and followed Mrs. Lin to the yard.

As he walked, he secretly looked at Ye Fugui.

I saw Ye Fugui holding Lin's hand, the two of them were talking and laughing as they walked forward, an extremely intimate scene, warm and beautiful, which made him envious.

This is a child with a mother.

He really hopes that he is the child who is loved by his biological mother.

He followed behind the two, involuntarily slowing down.

"Ergou! What's the matter with you? Walking so slowly?" Ye Fugui turned his head and said dissatisfied when he saw that he was far behind.

Ye Zhengping shook his head hastily, and said as he walked, "Ah! Nothing. Nothing."

Seeing Ye Zhengping's flustered look, Ye Fugui pursed his lips and smiled.

She let go of Lin's hand, trotted over, and held his hand tightly.

Her hands are small, soft and warm.

He dared not hold it hard.

The corners of Ye Fugui's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled sweetly at him.

The way she smiles is really like a blooming flower, blooming with dazzling youth.

At that moment, Ye Zhengping's heart throbbed uncontrollably, and he felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

The blush on his cheeks didn't fade away, but he couldn't bear to leave Ye Fugui's beautiful eyes, his heart was pounding.

Just in embarrassment, his other hand was held, and Lin was looking at him tenderly, with helplessness and distress in his eyes.

His heart was filled with a strong sense of happiness.

He never knew what maternal love was like, and now he finally experienced it.

Lin led them to continue walking forward.

"Ergou. My mother is the gentlest and kindest person in the world." Ye Fugui said proudly to him as he walked, "My mother was very powerful back then. She stabbed a killer to death with a sword, and then killed the killer again." The whole body was beaten and fled."

Lin shook her head helplessly, but with a doting look on her face, she let her talk happily.

Ye Zhengping's head was blank, and he walked on the bluestone slab, as if he was stepping on cotton.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

He didn't expect that this journey would take more than twenty years.

"Commander Ye, Commander Ye"

A shout came from his ear, waking him up from his wandering thoughts.

He came back to his senses, lowered his head, and looked at the hand in his hand.

This hand is delicate and soft, holding it in the palm, it is like holding the wings of a goddess, which makes people intoxicated.

Ye Zhengping quickly withdrew his hand, not daring to shake Ye Fugui's hand again.

He stepped outside the door, restored his usual serious expression, looked at the person coming, "what's the matter?"

Standing in front of Ye Zhengping was a young man in combat uniform, about twenty years old, with a heroic look on his young face, and shrewd and calm eyes.

He is the confidant of General Ye, Ye Jihan.

"Report to Commander Ye and send the good news to the general. Beimo's army has been defeated by [-]%!" Ye Jihan cupped his hands respectfully towards Ye Zhengping and said in a deep voice.

Hearing the progress of the border war, Ye Zhengping's eyes lit up, he immediately looked up at Lian Luo, and asked excitedly, "What is the general's plan?"

Ye Jihan replied: "The general asked his subordinates to come and inform Commander Ye that the army has arrived at Yanxi Pass and is now at war with the enemy! If this battle can be won, the general will personally lead the Ye family army at the border and return to Jindu .”

Hearing Ye Jihan's words, Ye Zhengping's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists excitedly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the general mention Fugui?"

Ye Jihan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ye Zhengping to ask Ye Fugui, "The general said that Jinyou will take care of Ye's mansion. He is very relieved, so there is no need to worry, as long as everything goes well."

Hearing Ye Jihan's answer, Ye Zhengping's expression changed several times, with a hint of sadness and shame in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Jihan couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Commander Ye! What's wrong with you?"

"Oh! Nothing! I just thought of the general, he." Ye Zhengping took a deep breath and let it out slowly, with a slightly sad tone, "I have a letter, please pass it to the general for me."

Ye Jihan saw that his expression was wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions. He took the letter and nodded, "Commander Ye, please don't worry! I will hand over this letter to the general!"

Ye Zhengping responded, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
