step by step

Chapter 318 Yu Yan's Encounter
The army going south was quickly assembled, and the team headed southwest in a mighty manner.

The sky was far away, covered with dark clouds, and there was a strong chill in the air, covering the entire army in a haze, making people feel depressed, but no one dared to express it.

In this huge team, apart from cavalry, infantry, and archers, there are also three thousand elite royal guards who are driven by King Qing, representing the reliance of Emperor Donglin.

However, the people of Jindu didn't know the mystery, and they bid farewell to Ye Wenxuan and his party as usual.

In their eyes, General Ye is still the number one general and the guarantee of Tianlu's frontier.

Ye Zhaoyan's carriage was parked by the side of the road, and through the gaps in the carriage, she could vaguely see the Ye Family Army. Their armor was bright, mighty and majestic, looking ahead, they were fierce and orderly, like well-trained soldiers.

Beside Ye Wenxuan was a young and fresh face. He was tall and handsome, with a graceful figure, not like an ordinary soldier.The long sword beside him was extraordinary, it was the famous sword bestowed by King Qing at the Qiongshu Banquet a few months ago.

Saying goodbye to the team going south, Ye Zhaoyan turned around and told the coachman to go to Qingfeng Road. Just as he was about to drive, he saw a young woman rushing with a few people.

It's Tang Peirou.

Tang Peirou was dressed in Tsing Yi, with clear eyebrows, elegant demeanor, dignified and elegant.

The Ye family did not have much contact with the Tang family, and did not move around much on weekdays, so Ye Wenxuan went south without notifying Tang Peirou.

However, the Tang family can be regarded as one of the family friends of Queen Mother Qing's ancestors. Although there is no intersection in Tang Peirou's generation, there is always a sympathy.It's no surprise that she came here.

Ye Zhaoyan raised the curtain of the carriage, and Tang Peirou couldn't wait to walk to the carriage.

"Miss Ye! Has Ji Shaoxia set off yet?"

Ye Zhaoyan suddenly realized, pointing to the team that had turned into small black dots in the distance, he said: "He set out with the army."

Hearing this, Tang Peirou's eyes immediately dimmed, and she sighed, "Hey." Then, she gritted her teeth, "Forget it, can you do me a favor?"

"Miss Tang, please tell me."

"Help me find a reliable person in the Ye family, send these hidden guards to his side, protect him well, and ensure his safe return."

With that said, Tang Peirou took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and solemnly handed it to Ye Zhaoyan. "Miss Ye don't need to be surprised, I just want to do my best."

Ye Zhaoyan took it over and took a look, and found that the jade pendant was simple and pure, carved from top-grade suet jade, with a small seal character engraved on it - Tang.

This jade pendant is a token of the Tang family.

Ye Zhaoyan took it, looked at it a few times, and said, "I see."

Tang Peirou said again: "If Miss Ye refuses, I won't force it."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled: "Since you entrusted me, then I will do my best to live up to the entrustment."

Tang Peirou finally showed her face and smiled: "There is Miss Lao Ye."

Her tone is sincere and her eyes are sincere.

this girl's mind
Ye Zhaoyan's heart moved slightly: "If there is any new news in the southern border, I will send a copy to the Tang family."

Hearing this, Tang Peirou's eyes suddenly brightened, "Thank you."

***
The carriage slowly drove away from the outer city, and as soon as it entered the middle of the city, a young man ran over and knocked on the wooden wall of the carriage, "Miss Ye!"

Under the rising sun, a luxurious carriage slowly approached. The walls of the carriage were hung with thick curtains to block the cold wind.

A slender woman lifted the curtain from the car: "Wait a minute."

"Yuyan?" Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, with a teasing smile in the corner of his eyes, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Yuyan, who was sitting originally, blushed a little, lowered her head, and said in an embarrassed voice, "I wanted to bid farewell to General Ye with you, but someone came from home, and my mother took me to treat the guests, I couldn't help it." , I had no choice but to let her go, I thought I could barely make it this time."

Ye Zhaoyan looked at her with a smile: "I thought you simply forgot about me."

After Qiong Shu got acquainted, Ye Zhaoyan didn't like the excitement, so the two only met a few times.

After returning from the Battle of Hexi, Ye Zhaoyan got busy and didn't want to go to the banquet again. Coupled with King Qing's pull, Ye's family was put on fire for no reason, and the two changed to letters.

Cheng Yuyan's face turned red, she covered her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said coyly, "What nonsense are you talking about, I've told you that I haven't forgotten you!"

Ye Zhaoyan smiled, waved to the boy, pulled the carriage closer, and said, "It's a pity that the team going south has already left. If you want to make up for it, you have no chance. What a pity."

"You!" Cheng Yuyan pretended to be angry and glared at her.

Ye Zhaoyan laughed heartily, Cheng Yuyan had a bright and lively personality, and the two got along happily like friends.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's leisurely appearance, Cheng Yuyan couldn't help but asked, "I think you are in a good mood. If you have nothing to do recently, let's come to the Duke's Mansion for regular gatherings."

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have much energy these days, but it will work in a few days."

She was still thinking about Zhuo Yibai's condition in her heart, and she had to make sure that she was safe before she could rest assured.

After pondering for a while, she suddenly asked, "I remember that you were not so enthusiastic before, why are you so eager to invite me today? Could it be that you can't bear the loneliness?"

Cheng Yuyan shot her a look: "What are you talking about, don't I care about you?" As she spoke, she couldn't help complaining, "I miss you so much, yet you still blame me."

Ye Zhaoyan laughed and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have guessed your thoughts randomly."

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's good attitude, Cheng Yuyan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Actually, what you said is not completely unreasonable. I am really bored recently." Then, she leaned close to Ye Zhaoyan's ear and whispered, "At home A marriage has been chosen for me, and I really can't refuse it."

She had a twisted expression: "My father and mother both agree with this marriage, so."

Ye Zhaoyan asked in surprise, "Are you getting married?"

Cheng Yuyan was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole to get in, "What are you talking about! Me, me"

Ye Zhaoyan blinked: "Oh? Then did you agree?"

Cheng Yuyan sighed: "It hasn't been decided yet, but my father said that no matter where I marry, as long as I abide by women's morals and don't cause trouble."

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, "Which family is it from?"

Cheng Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Guess what!"

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, and muttered to himself: "Mr. Cheng is a martial artist, with a strict family style and many disciples. If you choose a son-in-law, you must at least be from a first-class family or an official. Otherwise, it may be difficult to get into the eyes of the family. But Mr. Cheng has always loved Daughter, I will never allow my daughter to marry into a family of officials who take concubines. As for the royal family and wealthy merchants, even if they are powerful and rich, the Duke's Mansion does not lack these, and Duke Cheng has never been greedy. In this way, Only the descendants of King Zhennan and Wei Yanhou are qualified to marry you."
