Chapter 344 Two Phase Resignation
The boy slowly approached a few steps, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "I'm here to say goodbye."

Ye Zhaoyan felt a bad premonition inexplicably.

really--

"I found some clues to my life experience. I need to leave Jindu for a while and go to the north. This time, I came here to tell you so that you won't worry."

The boy's eyebrows were damp, and there were traces of melting snow stains on his shoulders, as if he came in a hurry.
Compared with before, his expression was a bit colder, more frosty, but the softness in his eyes was never lost.

Ye Zhaoyan was silent for a moment, holding back his frowning, "I knew you would leave, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Before he could say goodbye in the future, he actually left one step ahead, but he ran in the opposite direction.

I'm going south now, I don't know when I will see you again.
These subtle changes seemed to have not escaped the other party's eyes, Zhuo Yibai smiled, and instantly melted the coldness on his face, "If I don't deal with those Beirong people for a long time, I'm afraid they will have trouble again. Wait for something It's over, and I'll be back as soon as possible."

Ye Zhaoyan pursed his lips, "Then you have to pay attention to safety, don't get trapped again."

Zhuo Yibai nodded, "I promise you." After carefully looking at the girl in front of him for a while, he said again: "Is there something wrong for you to stand with your clothes so late?"

"There are some things in the house that need to be taken care of, and I can't sleep." She held back the confiding in her heart, but still put on a nonchalant expression on her face: "It would be great if I could find out the clues this time, and I don't have to travel thousands of miles."

Beirong is bitterly cold and far away from Jindu.Of course she doesn't want him to carry
Zhuo Yibai said softly: "Miss Ye, don't worry, you save my life, I will repay you, no matter where you are, if you have a mission in the future, just follow the order, and you will never be vague."

"I" Ye Zhaoyan hesitated to speak, and finally turned it into a sentence, "Treasure."

After all, she didn't mention her going south.

"En." Zhuo Yibai responded, turned around and was about to leave, then seemed to remember something, and added, "If there is anything, please send me a letter."

Ye Zhaoyan watched him disappear at the moon gate, silent for a long time, then walked slowly to the door, stood on the porch and looked up at the bright moon in the night.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint voice came from outside the courtyard, she turned around and walked back to the room, changed her clothes, and then quietly left the room.

Seeing her coming out, Zhuyu outside the courtyard immediately came up to meet her, and said anxiously: "Miss, there are people from the palace, they want you to go now."

Ye Zhaoyan made a silent gesture and walked towards the main hall, "Go ahead first, and talk about it later."

The person who was making arrangements in the main hall was Elder Qi. When Ye Zhaoyan entered the room, the eunuch from the palace had already sat down at the table, with a pair of sinister eyes on his fair face.

Old Qi looked quite serious, "This is Wei Shan, the apprentice of the Chief Eunuch."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded slightly, knowing it well.

"Miss Ye family, our family is here to announce something important." The spy's voice sounded a bit abrupt in the quiet morning.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyes to look at Wei Shan, but his gaze fell on the tray he was holding in his hand. The tray was covered with red silk, and the contents inside could not be seen.Ye Zhaoyan was full of doubts in her heart, she guessed that it was probably a decree from Emperor Donglin.

"The emperor ordered that Ye Zhaoyan go south with the token and wholeheartedly assist King Qing in resisting the Nanyan. When he returns after a great victory, there will be a generous reward. This!" He read out the imperial decree word by word.

After the words fell, the red silk on the tray was lifted, revealing a delicate round jade pendant, the jade body was hollowed out, and the decorations were lifelike.

The auspicious dragon and phoenix above are in the shape of a ring with yin and yang titles, which is in line with the regulation of the royal family's children's love.

Sensing something strange, Mr. Qi frowned, but he didn't speak rashly after all, but slowly looked at Ye Zhaoyan.

"Miss Ye, accept the order!" The sharp voice sounded again.

Ye Zhaoyan lowered his eyelids, suppressed the strange luster in his eyes, and slowly knelt down and blessed him, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will do my best to help you wipe out the troubles in Nanyan!"

Only then did Wei Shan show a strange smile, and handed the imperial decree to her, "Please take it away, Ms. Ye, and don't forget it."

Ye Zhaoyan answered "Yes", took the imperial decree and put it away. When he got up, he inadvertently glanced at a corner of his sleeve, where a plum blossom was embroidered. Although it was lavender, it was an extremely eye-catching color.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head. The two maids behind Wei Shan stepped forward to help her up, and took advantage of the opportunity to present the clothes in the box in their hands.

It was actually a silver-white battle armor.

"This armor is."

"This was originally a wish from Princess Nanyue to His Majesty, and now it is bestowed on the Major General of the Ye family. It is rumored that this was made by the best craftsman in Nanyue. The princess's martial arts masters are all good at concealed weapons and archery, and they have been hiding in the Nanyan Palace for a long time. , got this thing, and crafted it carefully, only then can we have today’s treasure.”

Ye Zhaoyan understood, perhaps it was Kunyu's love for Ye's family.
All kinds of thoughts flashed by, she lowered her eyes slightly, and said respectfully: "My daughter, thank you."

Wei Shan nodded, "It's getting late, Miss Ye should move to the posthouse earlier."

Ye Zhaoyan stopped talking, and took advantage of the gap that Qi Lao and a few confidants made for her, and quickly tidied herself up.

In the room, the bronze mirror reflected the woman's beautiful face like a cold pool, and further down, a suit of armor set off her snow-white complexion, her heroic posture, and a stern look between her brows.

Just as he was about to pull his hair back, Ye Zhaoyan noticed a faint figure in the yard.

When she opened the window, she saw Xiyun standing in the yard, as if she was waiting for her.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart moved, he paused, opened the door, Xiyun heard the voice, and walked over quickly, the woman's beautiful face was covered with tears, but her eyes were shining, as if full of hope, seeing Ye Zhaoyan, Feeling a little embarrassed, "Miss, thank you"

When she saw the battle armor on Ye Zhaoyan, she was taken aback, "Miss! You are"

Ye Zhaoyan didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Xiyun, you don't have to be surprised. Your Majesty rewarded me with this battle armor, so I must wear it properly. Your Majesty ordered me to go south to help Qingwang destroy Nanyan."

"Is Commander Ye taking Missy there?"

"Uncle stays in Jindu and guards Ye's family. I am enough to go forward this time."

Xiyun was stunned.

She had heard people say that Ye Zhaoyan was a heroine who was not inferior to the men of the Ye family. If she was born as a man, she would definitely be in charge of the Ye family.

She always thought that those were just flattering words fabricated by people to please the general, but now she heard Ye Zhaoyan, who was wearing a white armor, say these words, she was deeply shocked.

Your Majesty's reward?
This this.
"Xiyun, I'm going south this time, and the return date is yet to be determined. You have to take good care of your mother and Lianluo." Ye Zhaoyan patted her slender shoulder.

Xi Yun became flustered, "I heard from Lian Luo that the situation in the south is bad and the general's whereabouts are unknown. I'm worried that it's better to let the servants accompany the eldest lady!"

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head, "No need, we only have three days to go on the road, traveling all the way to the extreme, you have never practiced martial arts, how can you suffer."

Xiyun grabbed her hand tightly, "Miss! How can you, a weak woman, go so far alone?!"

Ye Zhaoyan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has been in and out of the military camp with Ye Wenxuan many times, and he is not very human.But no matter how much he struggled, in the eyes of everyone, it was because of the protection of the general.There is no one around now.
