step by step

Chapter 346
"The Ye family army has a large number of soldiers, but they are all male soldiers. As a woman, it is inconvenient for you. I am afraid that it will hinder your own safety. I think"

"You don't need to worry too much, Major General. I have practiced martial arts with men since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the Ye Family Army. It is the right way to be able to plead for loyalty for the country. I hope the Major General will do it." Qi Duanshu said awe-inspiringly.

Ye Zhaoyan looked into her stubborn eyes, and suddenly couldn't find any reason to refuse.She is indeed a girl with courage and ambition, but
"Major General." Elder Qi took two steps forward, his footsteps a little stagnant, and at some point, he had already quietly leaned on a delicate crutch, and there was also a look of anxiety on his face, as if he had been overworked.

"The old slave is aware of the young general's concerns, but this time going south is related to the safety of the great general. His life and death are unknown, so the old slave is very worried. If the young general doesn't trust the old slave's daughter, he doesn't have to bring our Qi family with him." Qi There is a taste of begging in the old words, "It's just that the old slave has no children in his life, and only accepted such a daughter. She has a strong personality and a simple heart. I hope that the major general will give me a little chance to be a father, and let her help you. Make plans and protect you."

When he got excited, he staggered, and Ye Zhaoyan quickly supported him, "Old Qi, I promise you."

She knew that Mr. Qi was using this pedantic and old-fashioned way to force herself to accept this proposal.

For nothing else, only the survival of Ye's lineage.

"Thank you, Major General, for your kindness, the girls will swear to protect the Major General to the death!" Qi Duanshu saluted Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Fugui couldn't help blushing when he heard the conversation of several people.

"Young general!" At this moment, a tall and straight figure came out from behind the crowd, wearing black armor, obviously a general.

He took a few steps forward and bowed his knees to salute, "I am Lin Xi, the nomadic deputy lieutenant of Jindu, and I have ordered to send Major General Ye south."

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the upright face in front of him and nodded, "I'm sorry."

Wei Shan nodded in satisfaction, looked at Ye Zhaoyan, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in a flash, "The major general of the Ye family has a distinguished status, and Deputy Lieutenant Lin will take more care of him in the future."

Lin Xi stood up, glanced at Ye Zhaoyan, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, "Major General, please!"

Ye Zhaoyan followed him on the horse.

The members of the Ye family were all ready, and everyone stepped forward to see them off one after another.

Wei Shan cupped his hands towards her: "General Dingyuan has a smooth journey."

Ye Zhaoyan got on the horse, waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him immediately got on the horse. The uniform movements made her heart move slightly, and a warm current gushed out from the bottom of her heart

She bowed her hands to everyone, "Everyone take care, there will be a period later."

"Take care, Major General!" Everyone responded in unison.

Ye Zhaoyan turned his horse's head and galloped towards the south.

The dust raised by the horse's hoof was flying, the carriage gradually moved away, and Ye Zhaoyan's back disappeared from sight.

The Ye family watched him leave, and many people's eyes were red.

Ye Fugui stood outside the courtyard gate and watched Ye Zhaoyan disappear into the still dark dawn on a tall horse. He couldn't help but clenched his fingers. Ye Zhengping, who was beside him, looked at her pale face and said softly: "She has already I can stand on my own."

Ye Fugui nodded, with a forced smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, a teenage girl, if not for her extraordinary experience, how could she shoulder such a heavy burden.

Two days after Ye Zhaoyan left Jindu with a group of people, he finally arrived at the southern border, and then drove southwest for half a day to reach the battlefield, but there was already a smell of war.

As soon as I entered the pass, I heard rumors in the city.

Nanyan has captured He County, and is now stationed at a place twenty miles away from Nanyang, massacring Tianlu soldiers. King Qing's subordinates retreated steadily, and temporarily retreated to the back mountain of He County to lie dormant.

The name of Leng Xiao, the second prince of Nanyan, has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"These southern barbarians, really deserve to die!" Lin Xi put away the feather books, his eyes burst out with fierce murderous intent, "Major General Ye, I will lead troops to garrison at the gate of Nanyang City tonight, and report immediately if there is any movement ahead."

"It's work."

Nanyang City is a majestic and magnificent city. It is located at the southern border. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.If it weren't for this war, Nanyang's military strength is not enough, I'm afraid it won't be easy to be coveted by Nanyan.

In Nanyang City, as soon as Ye Zhaoyan and his party arrived at the city gate, a group of patrolling guards stepped forward, "Who are you, and do you have a clearance certificate?"

The tone was not polite, and even faintly repulsive.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the strange faces in front of him, and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

"We were sent by His Majesty to assist King Qing." Lin Xi stepped forward and took out a token.

The guard looked down and saw the writing on it clearly, with a slightly respectful expression on his face, "So it's from the Ye family, let's go into the city quickly." After finishing speaking, he let him go.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at his back, glanced at the guards on the city wall, and frowned secretly, "Why are there no guards?"

Not only is there a shortage of troops, but even the first-class guards are missing.

"Major General, is this your first time in Nanyang?" Lin Xi was a little puzzled.

Ye Zhaoyan nodded, "Well, yes."

When Ye Zhaoyan was a little older, he practiced with the Ye family army many times, and went to the north more often, and rarely fought in the south.

Lin Xi looked at him, with a twinkle of inquiry and doubt in his eyes, and then said: "This is the boundary of Jiangnan. Seeing that Nanyan's soldiers are strong and strong, and the way is like a broken bamboo, the guards of Nanyang have already defected. The guards in the city were killed fifteen days ago They were replaced to help King Qing. However, these city guards are not elite soldiers."

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect such a result, but when he looked carefully, the city was brightly lit, and the people coming and going didn't seem panicked.

"Nanyang is one of the most affluent and prosperous states in the south. There is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going every day. They are all big families with status. They bring a lot of guards with them. If there is a war, they can retreat safely." Lin Xi explained in a timely manner. Ye Zhaoyan's doubts were resolved.

"No wonder."

Before she finished speaking, she saw two guards escorting a disheveled young man towards the city gate.The young man was thin and thin, with loose hair covering half of his face, showing a bit of frailty.

Seeing the young man being escorted to the city gate, Ye Zhaoyan's eyes flashed with surprise. There are few downcast people in rich and prosperous places. She noticed that there were no traces of chains and shackles on this man.

When the guard officer saw him, he hurried over to say hello, "I've seen General Ye."

Ye Zhaoyan ignored it and just stared at the man with sharp eyes like a knife.

The man raised his head, revealing a miserable yet handsome face. What was completely different from his appearance was that those eyes were dark and deep, as if they were hiding endless secrets, making people unpredictable. I feel my scalp tingling.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan, he seemed to wake up suddenly, broke free from the restraints of the officials, staggered back a few steps, "Let me go, let me go!"
