step by step

Chapter 306
"I didn't worry too much," Emperor Donglin said coldly, "Your Ye family has disappointed me several times since the first battle in Hexi!"

As he spoke, he suddenly drew his sword and put it on Ye Zhaoyan's neck. "You are his only granddaughter, he must be reluctant to let you die, if he dares to disobey me"

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyes and stared at Emperor Donglin, his expression still indifferent, without any fear, "Your Majesty speaks carefully, my grandfather will be cautious in his words and deeds all his life, and will not do anything to betray His Majesty."

"You think I'm a fool?" Emperor Donglin's eyes were cold, the sword in his hand was approaching inch by inch, and he said in a low voice: "Do you think I don't know why he has been reluctant to let go of the Ye family army?"

The long sword cut across Ye Zhaoyan's Xuenen's neck, leaving a bloodstain.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't show any pain or fear, and didn't even blink his eyes, "The Ye family is a loyal family. If your majesty insists on slandering my grandfather for disobedience, the Ye family can only prove his innocence by death."

The Ye family army has been branded as the Ye family since the time of their ancestors, how could they easily change their leaders?

Even if they had to be changed, that person was approved by Ye Wenxuan, not a puppet chosen by Emperor Donglin to fight for military power.

It can be said that without Ye Wenxuan and the "Major General of the Ye family", the Ye family's army is better in Ye Zhengping's hands than thrown out.

"Prove your innocence by death?" Emperor Donglin laughed loudly, "Are you threatening me? I tell you, this is Tianlu, the land of my Donglin clan. Don’t even think about taking Marven Ye into the coffin after he dies! I advise you to accept this marriage obediently!”

Emperor Donglin stared at her viciously, all the murderous intent and violence in his eyes were displayed.

After the Hexi War, Ye Wenxuan's body was not as good as before, and the Ye family was useless after all.

However, Ye Zhaoyan still did not show any cowardice, "The minister is just the daughter of the Ye family. She has no chance to inherit the Ye family. When the Ye family was destroyed, she lived and died with the Ye family."

"You bastard—" Emperor Donglin shouted sharply, and was about to refute her absurd statement when a slightly anxious voice sounded from outside the crowd, interrupting him.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"

Turning his eyes, a blood-stained hand opened the curtain, and a tall man with a long sword on his waist and a dark green robe embroidered with gold patterns appeared.

Just as Emperor Donglin wanted to reprimand him, several voices outside the tent shouted in shock: "Master Wei, your leg!!"

"Master Wei, what's going on?"

Wei Linfeng has already walked quickly into the account.

He was limping, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. He was obviously rushed over due to injuries. Behind him were two guards who ran over to support him, one left and one right.

Wei Linfeng bowed his hands and knelt in front of Emperor Donglin.

Emperor Donglin frowned, and his tone was cold. He was obviously displeased with someone trespassing in the tent, but when he saw someone coming, he suppressed his anger and said, "Get up, tell me something quickly."

Wei Lingfeng glanced at the girl kneeling aside, his eyes froze for a moment when he glanced at the bloodstain on his neck, and then lowered his head to report: "I tell your majesty, droughts are frequent in the south and refugees are flooding. The enemy's invasion has spread to the three cities in the southwest, and the people have suffered and been displaced, suffering unspeakably."

With these words, one stone stirred up thousands of waves, and instantly ignited the entire hunting ground, and everyone showed shocking expressions.

Ye Zhaoyan listened to the familiar voice, followed the prestige, and saw Wei Linfeng, one of Ye Wenxuan's favorite students, who was dressed in dust and dust.

"How is the situation now?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are already two generals on the way to Lin County, so I asked for an order to come to the hunting ground to report. I heard that Nanyan wolf is ambitious and intends to break through the southern border of Tianlu and seize the country."

The emperor of Dongling was furious, and immediately ordered: "Come here, send out cavalry immediately, and order Zhang Cheng to lead the troops to guard the passes in the southwest, and absolutely not let the thieves of the enemy country invade!"

Ye Zhaoyan watched the emperor Donglin issue a series of orders, and sighed inwardly, there are too many variables in this life.

In the previous life until his death, although Tianlu was harassed by Nanyan, most of them were small fights and never fought head-on.

During the reign of the first emperor, Tianlu and Nanyan fought for seven years, and there were already deep grievances.

Donglin Emperor raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Go back to the palace, gather all the generals, and discuss the affairs of state."

Wei Linfeng took the order and left.

Before leaving, Emperor Donglin's eyes fell on Ye Zhaoyan, and he said sinisterly: "You'd better keep quiet, so as not to drag the entire Ye family. If you dare to miss a big deal, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded lightly, "My daughter knows."

Emperor Donglin snorted, and left with a group of attendants.

After Emperor Donglin left, Wei Linfeng walked over slowly, with a little worry on his tired face, "Zhaoyan, are you okay?"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at his bleeding leg, feeling impatient, "I'm fine, Lord Wei, don't worry."

An autumn hunt soon came to an end.

When Ye Zhaoyan left with Wei Linfeng, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure under a tree not far away.

The young man from Zhilan Yushu stood under the tree, with a tall and straight figure, handsome and elegant, with a hint of worry on his face.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan looking at him, Zhuo Yibai was slightly taken aback, but quickly calmed down, nodded to her, and left in a hurry.

Ye Zhaoyan withdrew his gaze, feeling a strange sense of melancholy in his heart.

Back in Ye Mansion, Ye Wenxuan quickly understood the whole story.

This time Wei Linfeng came back injured, because Nanyan General Chen Ping led an army of [-] troops to suddenly invade Lin County in the southern border of Tianlu, and was intercepted by Wei Linfeng and his guards in Qianshan Canyon.

Although Tianlu's army occupied the commanding heights, Chen Ping's army was brave and good at fighting, with a large number of people and preemptive strikes. The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a half. Lin County retreated in defeat.

After Ye Wenxuan listened, he didn't speak for a long time before he asked, "It's been two days since Nanyan's army invaded, why didn't you send someone to send a letter to the reinforcements?"

Wei Linfeng was extremely ashamed and said: "The scouts sent out have all lost their traces. I am afraid that Nanyan who ambushed on the road will intercept and kill them."

What a cunning Nanyan barbarian!

Marven Ye raised his eyes, "Is there a premeditated plan?"

Wei Linfeng smiled bitterly, and said: "The students came here for this purpose. Nanyan has always been good at riding and shooting, and has many soldiers and horses. If we are alone, our Tianlu soldiers have a great chance of winning, but we are outnumbered. Originally, there were sufficient food and grass reserves, but unexpectedly it was stolen in the middle of the night, and the Nanyan army suddenly launched a general attack, which made people defenseless. Our army resisted for a day and a night. Seeing that Lin County was about to break the city, the students led their troops back, and luckily picked it up One life, but more than half of the soldiers under his command were lost."

Wei Linfeng's pale face was full of shame.

Ye Wenxuan sighed: "You have tried your best, no wonder you." After a pause, he continued, "The most important thing now is how to restore the situation and stabilize the border defense in the southern border, so that Nan Yan will not take advantage of it."
