step by step

The two walked together in the dark night.

Ji Si was young and well-mannered, and he was uninjured, so he moved much faster.

Ye Zhaoyan followed behind him neither far nor near, breathing gradually heavy.

The shadow in front of her suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"You are injured, so it is inconvenient to go to the post station. If the situation changes, it may not be easy to get out."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, took her pulse, and then pondered for a moment.

The wound on Ye Zhaoyan's body was not shallow. He bled for a long time and was soaked in the cold stream water.

"Not yet poisoned, it should be a skin injury, just use some wound medicine and wait here, I will go back as soon as I go."

After a stick of incense, Ji Sinian simply applied the wound medicine to her.

Beads of sweat oozed from Ye Zhaoyan's forehead.

"Your situation is a bit serious, and I'm afraid it's a bit reluctant to go alone." Ji Sinian looked at the endless path behind him, "There are no horses around here, so I'll carry you there."

Ye Zhaoyan wanted to decline politely, and raised his head to meet the young man's face, but for some reason, he couldn't say those words.

Perhaps the young man's forehead hair hadn't been taken care of for a long time, and when he leaned over to look at her, he covered it up a bit. Under the night, he could only see the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, as if he was not very happy.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind blew across the young man's forehead hair, revealing those long and narrow eyes.

After many days of experience, the young man's face has become a little more stable, his dark pupils are still bright and clear, full of concern, and a trace of determination that is almost imperceptible.

"Okay." She finally nodded.

In this situation, if he tried to be brave again, he might just hinder the opportunity in vain in the end.

Only when she lives and finds her grandfather as soon as possible, can she put aside the confusion in front of her and help Ye Jiajun get rid of the conspiracy.

The young man never knew her intentions.

Ji Siqing breathed a sigh of relief, bent over and squatted down.

Ye Zhaoyan lay on his back, broad and strong, with a beautiful back line, but it didn't look weak.

Nostrils moved slightly, smelling a clear and light fragrance.

It was the woody scent of the sword on his side mixed with jade, which he hadn't smelled for a long time.

She thought of those days when the two of them were fighting each other, how similar the situation was to now.

It's just that the shyness of the past has gone, and there is only a lot left that is unspeakable.

Until dawn, they finally arrived at their destination, called Qingzhang Mountain.

Qingzhang Mountain is the closest mountain to Qingpiao Pass.

It is said that if you take Qingzhang Mountain, you will take down half of Qingyang Pass, which shows the danger of the terrain here.Therefore, its status is not far from that of Nanyang City where Ye Zhaoyan was located before.

The two chatted on the road, and Ye Zhaoyan already knew the recent situation of the Ye family's army going south, as well as Ye Wenxuan's whereabouts.

It turned out that Ye Wenxuan was planned to stay in Wuhan with two thousand troops to wait for death.

Since arriving in the south, Ye Wenxuan has been going all the way like a broken bamboo, winning consecutive battles. In just a few days, he captured the three cities of Nanyan and killed hundreds of enemy troops. Then there was an accident.

Nanyan's defenders stationed in Wuhan were only more than 2000 people, and Ye Wenxuan only led [-] troops, and the troops were dangerous. Although the Nanyan people were proficient in the art of war, they were still defeated and could only retreat hastily.

In Wuhan Pass, there are many descendants of aristocratic families, but those who have any ability are forced to join the Ye family army.

It's just that this time Ye Wenxuan didn't bring many soldiers, and it was a quick attack and sneak attack, so he suffered heavy losses. The army of King Qing who was originally scheduled to deal with the aftermath did not come. There are constant soldiers, and several times are dangerous.

In the end, Ye Wenxuan managed to escape the pursuers and sneaked into Qingzhang Mountain, hiding the news and dormant until now.

"The pursuers didn't come from the same line, one of them looked very much like Tianlu people, in other words, I'm afraid they were from King Qing." Ji Sinian frowned and said, "It's just that they were mistaken for the Ye family army on the way, and all of them died. At the hands of the Nanyan enemy army."

Ye Zhaoyan looked solemn, "I should have thought that Grandpa's disappearance must be related to King Qing. They want to take advantage of this to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then secretly take away the military power and empty the Ye family."

It was this moment that King Qing wanted.

"It's ridiculous to say that if it wasn't for King Qing's army being killed by Nan Yan in order to ambush the general, and the delay for a while, the general would not have gotten away with it."

If it wasn't for a mistake, Ye Wenxuan might have been buried in the enemy camp.

"You don't have to worry. Although the general is trapped in Qingzhang Mountain, he didn't hurt his life. The bandits didn't know his identity. The mountain is high and there are few people. The news will not come out for a while."

Ye Zhaoyan took a deep breath.

Although the Ye family army is temporarily under the name of the Ye family, they have lost Ye Wenxuan's command and will be coveted and divided soon.

"So, that area is all guarded by King Qing's people?"

"It's not entirely true. It's just that the general said that you can't act recklessly. If you run by chance, if you encounter an ambush halfway and your identity is revealed... you must not risk the life and death of the Ye family. This time, King Qing came prepared. Arranged manpower in advance to intercept and kill around Wuhan, if the general hadn't been cautious and dormant, I'm afraid it would have been done by now."

"Grandpa is waiting for me to go forward together, because he wants to do the opposite?" Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were sharp, and he quickly figured out the twists and turns.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Now Ye Jiajun has been placed under the nose of King Qing and is closely monitored.If Ye Wenxuan returns to the camp, he will be intercepted and killed. At that time, King Qing will release the news that General Ye was severely injured by Nanyan and died...

one stone two bird.

Prince Qing couldn't tolerate Ye Wenxuan's life, but it wasn't that he couldn't tolerate Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Zhaoyan has another opportunity.

In King Qing's eyes, she is just a girl, and to her, marrying to seize the Ye family's military power is what he wants.

At this juncture, as long as Ye Zhaoyan slightly hinted at his intention to surrender, King Qing, who was worried that he could not find an opportunity to take advantage of it, would surely get it.

After all, the Donglin brothers have their own ghosts.

As long as the timing of Ye Zhaoyan's surrender is right, Ye Wenxuan will disguise himself and follow them back to the barracks, then they can escape the crisis and wait for the opportunity.

It can be said that apart from the three military orders, Ye Wenxuan is the one most recognized by the Ye family army.

When the time is right, then surprise
The two soon entered Qingzhang Mountain. The mountain road was rugged and it was no longer suitable for carrying on their backs. Ye Zhaoyan simply walked with injuries. Although his pace was a little slow, he refused to rest.

Until the sky turned white, a gray and black figure came out from the mountains and forests, and galloped towards them on a steed.

"Zhao Yan!"

The figure flew close, causing Ye Zhaoyan, who was a little dazzled due to exhaustion, to stand still suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was quickly covered up by tears, "Grandpa."

She ignored the thorn bushes in the forest and rushed to Marven Ye.

The old man in front of him had lost a lot of weight, his face was pale and haggard, and his expression was full of guilt and worry.

"I should have expected that villain to plot against me, but unfortunately it was a step too late!" Ye Wenxuan stroked her head with a look of relief on his face, "Fortunately, we are all fine!"

Ye Zhaoyan felt warm in his heart, and shook his head lightly: "It's my fault, I can't share the burden for the Ye family, and it made you suffer."

If she was a man, she might have inherited Ye Wenxuan's mantle, why would she leave him alone in the battlefield?

"It's your fault. Without you, I would be stuck here and I don't know how long it would last. I can only watch the Ye family be divided up by Donglin's lineage. By then, the Ye family will exist in name only..." Ye Wenxuan patted Her head and the corners of her eyes were moist, "In just a year, my Zhaoyan has become so sensible."
