Prince please enthrone

Chapter 143 Some Wounds Won't Heal
"Uh..." The guard hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No, the general has orders..."

Ye Lizhi suddenly pointed to the food box carefully held in Ling Yu's hand behind him, and said mysteriously:
"Big Brother, if you procrastinate any longer and delay our visit to Old General Liu, I promise, you will definitely regret it~"

"But the general has orders..."

"Just say, someone is coming to sacrifice, Mr. Liu."

Ye Lizhi's expression suddenly became serious, which startled the guard.

Especially after hearing the words 'liu xiaogongzi', his determination not to let them in was suddenly shaken.

Ye Lizhi stopped talking, but stared at him expressionlessly with her arms folded.

The guard subconsciously took two steps back, finally gritted his teeth, turned and entered the gate.

Ye Lizhi's tense face suddenly collapsed, shaking Ye Honglin's hand and saying: "Brother, we succeeded."

"You still have a way." Ye Honglin patted his younger sister's head in relief, and turned his gaze to the door that was only opened with a small crack.

Not long after, the guards came back with a more respectful attitude, and gestured to them: "Please, General."

"Thank you big brother~"

Ye Lizhi returned to that innocent look again, holding his elder brother's hand and bouncing into the vermilion lacquered gate.

The guard of Tuliu looked at her going back, unable to recover for a long time.

This little girl... is too fickle...

The courtyard in the General's Mansion was very large, and after following the guide for several detours, he found the figure of Old General Liu under a lush tree.

General Liu, named Liu Xi, joined the army at the age of 15. Neither his own family nor his mother-in-law's family had any background or backing. He earned the position of general after years of struggling on the battlefield.

Such a person is truly admirable.

What's more commendable is that Liu Xi has been married for many years, but there is only one woman by his side, and that is his regular wife.

The two daughters under his knees and a son who died young are all born of this wife.

Later, the younger son died of an illness, and Mrs. Liu also fell to the root of the disease, and could no longer conceive.

But even after the Liu family was extinct, Liu Xi withstood the pressure from all parties, stayed with his first wife, never married again, raised his two daughters well, and married off in a glorious manner.

Many people said that Old General Liu was stupid, and that there was no one to inherit his huge family business.

Ye Lizhi felt that this man was so smart that he couldn't be smarter.

With a little unspeakable awe, he carefully looked at the old man not far away. The old man was lazily sitting on a deck chair under a tree, and an old woman was accompanying him, talking about everything. talk.

The old man hummed twice from time to time, but he didn't see any cloudiness in his half-closed eyes.

Instead, it is as clear and transparent as water.

Ye Lizhi's heart trembled, he turned his head and swept aside again.

There were two bowls of hot tea on the small table in front of the old man, and a few books next to them, pressed with a paperweight, and there was a letter under the paperweight.

Ye Lizhi was very familiar with the handwriting on the letter, it was the prince's handwriting.

The letter seemed to have been opened and read, and there were a few tender green leaves on the snow-white letter paper, which should have been blown off by the wind.

Perhaps, the prince had written a letter to Liu Xi a few days earlier, but Liu Xi was disobedient and still rejected Ye Honglin.

This stubborn old man.

Ye Lizhi shook his head amusedly, and left after being notified by the servants. When the old woman saw someone coming, she followed suit and wanted to retreat, but Liu Xi grabbed the back of her hand.

"No, it's nothing serious."

Liu Xi sat up, his original leisurely expression was swept away, he looked at them coldly, and asked:

"I don't know if two distinguished guests are here, what are you doing?"

Ye Honglin stepped forward first, saluted respectfully, and said:
"Junior Ye Honglin, pay respects to Old General Liu."

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai

The old woman next to him shoved him, said in a low voice, "What are you talking about," and smiled kindly at Ye Honglin:
"Don't mind, he's just like that."

"Oh, no, it's too late for the younger generation to respect the old general, so why would they mind?"

"Humph."

Liu Xi snorted coldly, apparently not at all interested in these compliments.

"The junior came here this time because he had something he wanted to give to the old general, so please accept it with a smile."

Ye Honglin still spoke politely, and at the same time signaled Ling Yu to send the things forward.

"I can say my ugly words first. If you give gold, silver and jewelry, be careful that the old man will pull you out with the sole of his shoe."

Liu Xi gave Ye Honglin a warning look, seeing that the other party didn't respond at all, so he reluctantly moved his body and reached out to open the lunch box on the small table.

Immediately, a strong vinegar smell rushed over.

Liu Xi's eyeballs were as big as copper bells.

The old woman obviously also saw the contents in the box. After a moment of surprise, her eyes immediately became moist, she turned her head quietly, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil.

"This, this..." Liu Xi tremblingly held the lid that had not been put down, and tremblingly said: "This is sweet and sour carp!"

"Exactly."

"Bastard! Nonsense!"

Liu Xi suddenly got into trouble, and smashed the cover in his hand towards Ye Honglin.

Ye Honglin didn't dodge or dodge, he endured this blow, and let the cover slide over his cheek, leaving a long thin mark.

"Brother!" Ye Lizhi screamed and rushed over, but was comforted by Ye Honglin: "I'm fine."

Liu Xi over there was still panting heavily, staring at the beautifully crafted sweet and sour carp, watching, tears began to fall down.

Sweet and sour carp, that was his youngest son's favorite food during his lifetime.

At the moment before he died, the child was still clamoring to eat the carp that his mother made by himself, but after the dish was cooked, the child only took one bite and died with a smile on his face.

"How do you know, how do you know?!"

After a long time, Liu Xi finally spoke again with a hoarse voice, but the voice was more severe than ever before!
For so many years, he has kept his family tightly guarded. Regarding the matter of his youngest son, he is even more secretive. When others try to provoke him with this, they can't find a breakthrough.

Today, he was poked into the heart by two young children.

How could this not make Liu Xi panic and angry?
Ye Lizhi was afraid that he would harm Ye Honglin again, so he took the first step to block Ye Honglin, and said crisply:

"Old general, it's not important."

Liu Xi glanced at her with murderous coldness in his eyes.

Ye Lizhi didn't feel frightened at all, and continued sonorously:
"We sent this here today, just to tell you that the past is gone, and hope should be placed on the younger generation. Do you really want to hand over Xijiang, which has been guarded for many years, to that unreliable deputy general?" Do you really have the heart to watch the territory that you have worked so hard to hold on for most of your life be taken away by the cloud?!"
