The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 55 Master Ye in the Yanmen Gate looks like the most capable civil servant!
Under the bright moonlight,
On the Yanmen Pass and the watchtowers of the Great Wall connected on both sides, the soldiers who had dinner were conducting a solemn handover and changing of the guard ceremony with the hungry soldiers on duty.

After the changing of the guard was completed, this important pass of the Great Wall, which had been guarding the Central Plains since the time of King Zhao Wuling, directly turned into a winding fire dragon under the action of many lighting torches.

That is, this fire dragon that can't be seen at a glance, guarantees the lights of thousands of families behind it.

The general on duty who is in charge of guarding here will always think of the words of praise for this pass in history under this situation.

And Ye Qing, as a person who has been with this place for several lifetimes, every time he comes here, apart from thinking of these praises, he is more likely to fall into endless reminiscences.

In Wu Yong's eyes, Ye Qing was standing on the wall of the north gate in the center of Yanmen Pass, looking at a grassland and desert under the full moon.

Yes,

After they returned home from the women's labor reform workshop, they came to Yanmen Pass after eating.

Still the same sentence, Ye Qing doesn't care about anything now, he doesn't even want to make money anymore.

Only the matter of closing the pass and defending the city is a major matter that he cannot relax for a moment as long as he does not die.

Whether in public or private, he will never let up!
After he and Wu Yong came here together, it can be said that they checked carefully.

Whether it's the garrison's spare medicines and food, or their weapons and armor, he has carefully inspected them.

After confirming that it was correct, Ye Qing came to this position where he could overlook everything, and it was also the position of the chief general on duty at Yanmen Pass.

Wu Yong didn't know, their Master Ye was obviously a civil servant, why every time he came here, even if he didn't wear armor, he could vaguely sense a general's air!
In Wu Yong's eyes,
Ye Qing just took a deep breath, as if he smelled the smell of blood that couldn't be completely washed away after thousands of years of wind and rain!

At the same time, he seemed to see everything he experienced here.

He had followed Li Mu in dozens of battles here!
When parachutist Li Guang was the prefect of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, he also fought dozens of times with the Xiongnu as a subordinate general!

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the northern Turks rose up, and there were frequent internal crimes.

The garrison of the Tang Dynasty set up a checkpoint on Yanmen Mountain, named "Yanmen Pass", and he was the first guard after Yanmen Pass got its name!
All kinds of past events are vivid in my mind, as if the next day!
"Black clouds overwhelm the city to destroy it, and Jiaguang opens to the sun's golden scales."

"The sound of horns fills the sky in the autumn scenery, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple."

"The half-rolled red flag is facing Yishui, and the frost is heavy and the sound of cold can't be heard."

"Report to the king on the golden platform, and lead the jade dragon to die for the king!"

Just when Ye Qing looked outside the pass and read this poem, the Yanmen garrison general at the left rear of him, and the county magistrate Wu Yong at the right rear all looked at him.

In their eyes, Lord Ye at this moment, no matter in his condescending eyes, or in his powerful tone, looked like a general who was about to go to war.

It is said that civil servants have a habit of composing poems when they visit places of interest, one is to praise the great rivers and mountains in front of them, and the other is to show their literary talents.

But Ye Qing was different, he just read a poem "Yanmen Taishou Xing" written by Li He, a poet of Tang Dynasty, which is familiar to anyone who has read a few books!
Obviously, he didn't want to show his literary talent, nor could he use the poems of his predecessors to show his literary talent.

They listened to Ye Qing's magnetic and deep voice at the moment, looked at Ye Qing's eyes full of reminiscence, as if he was reminiscing about something.

It's as if everything in this poem is his memory!
The guard and Wu Yong looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief, and they were also very surprised, why did they have such an illusion from the Arabian Nights?

After a while, Ye Qing turned around and told the guard a few words, then turned and left.

Wu Yong followed Ye Qing all the way, and found that it was not the way back to the Yamen, so he didn't ask much, because he knew where Ye Qing was going.

Master Ye, who has been lazy for three years, will only carry things by himself when he goes to that place.

In the 'Jingbian Temple' where the traces of time are quite obvious, Ye Qing seems to be a different person since he stepped on the threshold.

The way he looked at the statue of General Li Mu was like looking at an old person, full of remembrance, and like looking at an elder, full of respect!

After a while, Wu Yong just watched Ye Qing carry a basket of offerings and go over to place them himself.

He didn't mean to take the initiative to help!
Because in the past three years, Ye Qing never asked him to help in this matter!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Yong really didn't know why he, a civil servant, had such a strong friendship with this famous general more than 1000 years ago.

For the ancestors and martyrs, the sons and daughters of the Han family all respect them very much!
But Ye Qing's friendship with General Li Mu is definitely not as simple as admiration!
Like the descendants of General Li Mu?

It's a bit like that, but most of the time, the eyes are full of remembrance of the old man, as if Ye Qing is General Li Mu's comrade-in-arms!
Wu Yong knows that this is absolutely impossible, and it is something that should not be thought about in this way.

But he has seen such eyes before, among the generals at Yanmen Pass, these are the eyes that comrades and brothers who have experienced life and death together have when they look at each other.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong felt very unbelievable!
How could he, a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, have such friendship with his ancestors and martyrs more than 1000 years ago?

Seeing Ye Qing burning incense to pay respects, Wu Yong thinks it over again presumptuously.

Although their Lord Ye is only a civil servant, he attaches great importance to border military affairs, and has spent a lot of thought on the lives of soldiers.

Maybe he is one of those rare civil servants who has the feelings of gold and iron horses!

Maybe he is a civil servant like Xin Qiji!
Wu Yong believes that their Lord Ye has the same feelings as Xin Qiji, there is no doubt about it!
As for whether he can fight like Xin Qiji, that's unknown.

They have known each other for three years and have never made a move. God knows if he can fight?
But it doesn't matter anymore!

As far as Yanmenguan's current level of city defense is concerned, there is no need for them, Mr. Ye, to fight!

"At this time, they should be back in the cell soon, you go for a run and listen to what they have to say."

"I'll just stay here for a while!"

When Ye Qing plugged in the burning incense, he turned his back to Wu Yong and ordered.

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yong also looked at Li Mu's god statue, and bowed respectfully.

It's just different from Ye Qing, he has nothing but respect for Li Mu other than the reverence for the ancestors and martyrs of the future generations.

Just when Wu Yong turned around and left on his horse, Ye Qing turned around and closed the temple gate.

After returning to the front of the altar, Ye Qing stared at the statue of the former chief general, ready to start talking about the old days! .
