Chapter 231 Rebirth and Return
Ye Zhaoyan said: "Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much, this battle shows that you are confident."

After her repeated studies, she has already found a strategy to deal with the Battle of Hexi from that military book. As long as there is no accident, she is at least [-]% sure.

Ye Zhengping glanced at his granddaughter's immature and beautiful face, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Father! There seems to be writing on the back of this letter!" Ye Zhengping reminded when he suddenly noticed something.

Ye Wenxuan turned the paper over suspiciously, and under the light of the candlelight, he saw a few inconspicuous words on the back of the letter—"Treason to the Nine Clans".

Ye Wenxuan's face turned slightly pale, and he stroked the five characters with trembling fingertips, before repeating with difficulty: "Treason. Punish the Nine Clans."

Ye Zhaoyan's face was also full of astonishment, "Treason and punish the nine clans?"

Is this a threat?
In order to prevent Ye Wenxuan from defecting and seeking benefits for Beiliang, Emperor Donglin was so suspicious that he threatened the lives of Ye's family!

With a sound of "bang——", Marven Ye smashed the table into pieces, and laughed angrily, "What a good general who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic! He has fought half his life, and there is such a day! Hahahahaha——!"

He raised his head to the sky and screamed, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.

Ye Wenxuan spent half his life in the army, and finally lost to the monarch who had been working so hard to protect the country? !
He doesn't agree!
The existence of this letter was like a boulder weighing on his heart.

He hates and is even more angry!
For so many years, he has abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, and worked hard, but in exchange for this kind of treatment?
Ye Zhaoyan and his enemy Kai stared at the five words, gritted their teeth and said, "Treason the country and punish the nine clans?! It's ridiculous! Our Ye family fought for the imperial court, threw our heads and blood, devoted ourselves to death, and ended up in a tragedy of extermination in our previous life. In this life, you still can’t escape your fate! A mediocre king like Emperor Donglin will never cherish the loyalty of the Ye family!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of warmth splashed onto her face, Marven Ye had already spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was as pale as snow, and his breath was weak.

Ye Zhengping hurriedly supported Ye Wenxuan, "Father, what's wrong with you?! Zhaoyan, go get Doctor Zhang!"

Ye Wenxuan raised his hand to stop Ye Zhengping, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go, Zhaoyan stay!"

When only the grandpa and grandson were left in the room, Ye Wenxuan looked at her kindly, his lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.

Ye Zhaoyan immediately took a few steps closer, knelt down beside Ye Wenxuan, and grabbed Ye Wenxuan's wrist to feel his pulse.

After a while, Ye Zhaoyan let go of his hand, with a solemn expression, "Grandpa, don't get angry anymore!"

Ye Wenxuan was exhausted after a lot of excitement.

He smiled weakly, "Zhaoyan, grandpa remembers, last time in Jindu, you told grandpa about dreaming about the past life. Tell grandpa, is there something else you didn't tell?"

Ye Zhaoyan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Grandpa wants to hear the truth?"

Ye Wenxuan closed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Finally, Grandpa will listen carefully this time."

Ye Zhaoyan raised his head, looked at the fine lines at the corners of Ye Wenxuan's eyes that became more and more obvious, and said seriously: "Since Grandpa asked about this, I guess he was mentally prepared, Zhaoyan did deceive you last time."

Marven Ye opened his eyes and looked at her.

Ye Zhaoyan continued: "Zhaoyan once told Grandpa that the past events in dreams all happened in real life."

Ye Wenxuan's eyes widened, "Are you using a dead body to resurrect your soul?"

"No, what Zhaoyan said in the dream is a past life that Zhaoyan personally experienced. I, Ye Zhaoyan, was reborn with blood and deep hatred."

Ye Zhaoyan said word by word, her tone was firm and calm, making people feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow.

"What did you say?!" Marven Ye was shocked.

Ye Zhaoyan nodded: "Grandpa may not believe Zhaoyan's words, but Zhaoyan will convince you right away. Grandpa, do you remember the relics of the former emperor that His Majesty once handed over to you?"

"You mean the pardon?" Ye Wenxuan was a little surprised how Ye Zhaoyan knew this secret thing. It was entrusted to him secretly by the former emperor, and no one else knew about it.

"A year ago, this thing disappeared. Grandpa, have you ever thought about where this thing is now?" Ye Zhaoyan looked calm, as if he had known the inside story for a long time.

"Where?"

"After the fall of the Ye family in the previous life, when Xue Huaitan taunted me and my mother, he once said that the thing was taken away by Emperor Donglin long ago. It was hidden behind the plaque in the middle of the palace. After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the thing became The useless things were given to him to play with. He said that Emperor Donglin had long intended to kill the donkey for the Ye family."

Ye Zhaoyan's expression was light and calm, as if he was not at all surprised by Emperor Donglin's cunning scheme.

Ye Wenxuan frowned, and murmured: "No wonder. No wonder the late emperor wanted to entrust this to me for safekeeping, and didn't allow me to tell anyone, not even the crown prince. It turns out that"

It turned out that the first emperor had known for a long time that his son had a completely different ruthless determination from him, so he didn't dare to let him fully control the military power, and distributed some to King Qing and King Zhuo.He was afraid that he would destroy the entire country because of his selfish desires.

Ye Wenxuan suddenly laughed, this smile was full of sadness, desolation, despair, and a trace of unwillingness!

"Hahahaha! So that's the case, hahahahaha!" Ye Wenxuan laughed wildly, and when he finished laughing, he coughed violently again.

Ye Zhaoyan quickly patted his back, with a crystal clear light shining in his eyes, "Grandpa, don't get excited."

Marven Ye gasped for a moment, and finally stopped coughing. "Zhaoyan, you already knew that the Ye family would be destroyed because of these changes, so you must follow me to Hexi?"

"Yes."

Ye Wenxuan wiped off the blood stains around his mouth, looked at Ye Zhaoyan, and said in a serious tone, "Grandpa believes this past life story for now, and you will tell Grandpa the key to what happened in the past life."

Ye Zhaoyan narrated the events of her previous life, but this time, she revealed all the things she had concealed last time.

Without any reservations, she narrated a series of events such as the insidiousness of the Donglin Emperor and Tianlu's big families, and the Ye family being ransacked and exterminated.

"Zhaoyan hopes that Grandpa will see the true face of Beiliang's treacherous villain, and put things right as soon as possible, so that the Ye family will not repeat the same mistakes!"

After Ye Wenxuan listened, he didn't say anything for a long time. The glorious scene of the Ye family in the past few years emerged in his mind, and he was filled with grief as he thought about it.

After being dazed for a long time, he sighed, stretched out his hand to hold his granddaughter's soft hand, and said with a sob: "Zhaoyan, you have worried a lot for the Ye family these days after you came back, thank you for your hard work! Grandpa is so confused, he almost missed a big deal." .”

Ye Zhaoyan said in a low voice: "Grandpa, these are nothing. Grandpa just needs to remember that Zhaoyan wants to protect the Ye family with you!"

"Zhaoyan, it would be great if Grandpa woke up earlier! He wouldn't just let His Majesty send us here, causing trouble for you and putting Ye Family Army in a dilemma!" Ye Wenxuan's eyes overflowed with tears.
