Ye Gui

Shenyu Kingdom Tianlu City General Mansion.

Compared with Yanming City, it is only five streets away from Miyagi City. It is located in a prosperous location, surrounded by princes and nobles.

If he was 30 or [-] years younger, Lei Ting would probably believe it, and would have to worship three times a day to thank God for his mighty grace.

He took over the general seal from his father, inherited the position of general, devoted himself to his duties for so many years, guarded the border for Shenyu for more than ten years, and repelled and deterred countless attacks from Qin Yangguo. It can be said that he was there , Yanming City is safe, and the people of Shenyu can sleep peacefully.

Lei Yan's temper just followed his father's. At this moment, the general who is over half a hundred years old is trapped in his mansion like a trapped animal. When he came out of Miyagi this morning, the teacups in the mansion suffered another disaster. He didn't dare to go in to serve him, for fear that the general would ruin himself if he didn't like it.

One person walked to the door, his face was like a bright moon, his eyebrows were clear, he was dressed in a light blue robe, with a moon-white palace sash around his waist, no jade, simple and clean, but his gestures were elegant and noble.

"My lord..." He stretched out his index finger to his lips, took off the cloak and handed it to the servant, pushed the door open and walked in.

Lei Ting turned his back to the door, and when he heard the door knock, he said angrily, "Get out!"

The visitor laughed and said, "Father-in-law, is he going to drive me away too?"

Lei Ting turned around when he heard the words, his complexion improved a bit, and he walked over quickly: "Wei Heng!"

The person who came was the fifth son of the Lord of Shenyu, Si Weiheng. At the age of 16, he had the title of Hengwang and had his own fiefdom.Now in her twenties, she married Lei Ting's eldest daughter, Lei Yu, five years ago. The two grew up together, and they had a deep friendship as childhood sweethearts.

Si Weiheng smiled slightly, he was gentle and elegant, like a piece of cold jade, making people not angry.

"The youngest daughter of the Taifu's family came to look for A Yu just now, but I didn't let her come with me. The son-in-law heard that his father-in-law was called into the palace today, what did the king say to make him so angry?"

Lei Ting understood Si Weiheng, he was more like his own father and son than the weak and incompetent father of the king, so he was not wary of him at all, and said directly if he had anything to say: "Yanming City sent someone to come He said that he was attacked by Qin Yang with black magic ten days ago, and Ah Yan was captured by Hou Jingxing..."

Si Weiheng asked anxiously: "Then where is Ah Yan now?"

"He is fine, he has already returned to Yanming City." Lei Ting only learned in the letter that his son was rescued, and did not know who it was. "I am worried about the border, so I went to ask the king to resign. The reason why the king didn’t investigate clearly is the reason for not letting me go! Are you angry? I have been here for more than half a month, and I only eat and sleep every day. Do I have to wait until Qin Yangguo invades before letting me go back? ?"

Si Weiheng comforted him: "Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry, I have already sent someone to the third brother to investigate secretly, to be honest, I don't think the third brother has any intention of treason."

"He usurped the throne? Hmph! He wouldn't even dare to lend him ten courage!"

Si Weiheng nodded: "Third brother may not know what to do with the iron ore found in the fief, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he didn't report it in time, and then someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the time difference to catch him..."

Lei Ting sighed and said: "But I don't understand why he didn't come back when the lord called him back to Tianlu City? Isn't this the evidence of treason? I don't know if he is really stupid or not. stupid……"

The third prince, Si Weixi, is 29 years old this year. He was granted the title of king at the age of 26 and has his own fiefdom. It's Wudu who can't do it. Every time the Taifu tests his homework, he is very angry. Knowing that he is not favored, he will stop paying attention to him as time goes by.

When he went to the fiefdom three years ago, Si Weiheng sent him out of the city. This brother, who was usually serious and taciturn, talked non-stop uncharacteristically, looking very happy.

Si Weiheng smiled and listened to him, he knew that the third brother was not suitable to be born in the emperor's family, he could have his own fiefdom, not very big, not rich enough for him to be an idle prince, no longer confined by the palace walls Being worried all day is the most perfect home for Si Weixi.

"Although I'm not that close to the third brother, I also know that the third brother is not this kind of person... There must be something wrong, father-in-law, don't worry, the people who secretly investigated will come back in a few days, and the truth will be revealed by then."

Lei Ting sighed helplessly: "Is there any reply from the supervisor sent by the lord?"

"It's been more than half a month since the inspector went, but there is still no reply. This is also strange. Father-in-law don't have to worry too much. I will go to the palace at night to check on my father's words."

Seeing that the door was not closed, and there was no more shouting and smashing things in the room, the young man boldly went in to serve tea to King Heng, and cleaned up the broken teacups.When King Heng left the General's Mansion, General Zhen Guo was in a much better mood.

The power of Baishan was banned, but it had no effect on Baiyin.Today, I followed Lei Yan to camp outside the city.After the military training in the morning, the two of them strolled along the Baishui tributary, one person and one horse, and arrived at a village after more than half an hour.

Lei Yan took him to the entrance of the village, let the horse go to graze by himself, and walked in. A few children were playing around under the old tree at the entrance of the village. A sharp-eyed man saw him and shouted: "Brother Ah Yan!"

The children ran over and surrounded them: "Brother Ah Yan, did you bring us candy?"

Lei Yan took out candies and gave them to the children: "Don't tell your mothers, they won't let you eat candies, if you eat too much candies, your teeth will hurt."

Several children took the candy, immediately peeled off one and put it in their mouths, and stuffed the rest in their arms: "Don't worry, Brother Yan, we know! Who is this brother?"

"This is... Brother Bai." Lei Yan smiled and bumped Bai Yin with his elbow and said, "Is it okay to call you that, Brother Bai?" called out.

He smiled so beautifully that Bai Yin couldn't get enough of it, knowing that he was teasing him, he couldn't help but reply: "Yes, Miss Jiu said that she called me Brother Bai because she likes me, what about Ah Yan?"

Lei Yan immediately put away his smile, blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about in front of children! Don't be ashamed!"

He was held back by a little girl, "Brother Yan, Brother Bai, come to my house for dinner! My mother is making dumplings today! They are stuffed with meat!"

"Go to my house! My house is stewing chicken today!"

"My family eats ribs today!"

"My family is eating...eating noodles..." Those who eat noodles obviously have no confidence.

Lei Yan laughed loudly: "What would Brother Bai want to eat?"

"I want to eat dumplings." Hakuin replied, he hadn't eaten dumplings yet.

"Okay!" Lei Yan said to the disappointed children, "Tell your mothers, bring the bowls and chopsticks, and let's make dumplings together!"

The children cheered and scattered.

After a while, they all gathered at the little girl's house. The little girl's name is Xiaoyi. There are only her father and mother and herself at home. Her father works as a porter in Yanming City on weekdays, and her mother farms and makes shoes at home. She sells them in the city every month. Although the family is not rich, the family loves each other and lives a prosperous life.

Xiao Yi Niang was making dumplings in the kitchen. The yard was bustling with activity. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Yi pull Lei Yan and Bai Yin in from the window, and shouted, "Little General!" Wiping her hands on her apron, she came out to welcome her. , "Xiao Yi's father! The little general is here!"

A man in his twenties came out of the house: "The little general is here!"

After a while, a few children came, and their parents followed. When the villagers heard that Lei Yan was coming, they all gathered together, and the courtyard of Xiaoyi's house was suddenly as lively as New Year's Eve.

Everyone is like a family on weekdays. They simply moved tables, chairs and benches from their own homes and placed them in the yard of Xiaoyi's house, and brought flour, vegetables and meat to make dumplings together.

The village chief is over 70 years old and leaning on crutches. Lei Yan helped him to sit down. He looked at Bai Yin and asked, "When the camp was not moved away, the little general often came here, and there were two adjutants Lin. See. Also a soldier of our Xun Ting Army?"

Lei Yan smiled and said, "Does he look like a soldier?"

The village head shook his head: "No way. Soldiers are rough, but this young man has delicate skin and tender flesh, like... like... like an official in the capital!"

In the village, only the head of the village had been to Tianlu City when he was young, and no one else had been. Someone joked: "The head of the village is going to tell a story again!"

The village chief stroked his beard: "What? Don't let me tell you? When I was young, I went to Tianlu City with my father. There are officials everywhere, but none of them are as good-looking as Mr. Bai!"

Bai Yin smiled and said, "Old man, I'm just a commoner, but I don't have the skills to be an official."

Xiao Yiniang laughed and said, "That little general doesn't look like a soldier either! He looks like... like a nobleman!"

Xiao Yi's father felt that Bai Yin looked familiar just now, he stayed in the city because it was too late that day, and ended up meeting Remnant Hualuo.

The inn was just across the street from the restaurant, and that day he was hit by a yellow leather child who fell from the beam of the house. When he opened his eyes, he saw this weasel, which was bigger than a dog, staring at blood-red eyes. He opened his mouth wide and bit his throat. He fell out of bed in fright, and ran out of the inn, only to find that the city was in chaos.

Huang Pizi chased him out, and was about to bite his leg. In a panic, he saw a man in white clothes Shengxue riding on the back of a huge snow leopard. When the man saw him, he shot white light like an arrow from his hand, and Huang Pizi was frozen instantly. It fell to the ground and broke.

The snow leopard didn't stop, and stepped on the eaves of the roof to rush up to the roof of the building...

"It's you!" Daddy Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise, "This young master saved me that night when the city was in chaos! I remember you riding on the back of a snow leopard..."

Hakuin didn't remember this at all, but it should be him and Digui, so he just smiled: "You're welcome."

The village chief stood up tremblingly and saluted: "Many boys in the village were in the city that night, thanks to you! Old man... Thank you, old man!"

Bai Yin hurriedly got up to help the old man, and the others stopped what they were doing and came around to thank him.

Hakuin was a little nervous surrounded by so many mortals, but everyone smiled and expressed their gratitude to him, and a tinge of warmth rose in his heart.

All the elders and disciples of Baishan said that people's hearts are sinister, and he has been careful not to get in touch with others, but for so long, the people he knows, whether it is Lin Tong, Linshao, soldiers of the Xunting Army, Uncle Li and servants in the general's mansion, The shopkeepers and stall owners on Flower Street, the people of Yanming City, and the villagers in front of him all gave him a warm and real feeling.

The dumplings came out of the pan quickly, and they were hot on the table. Lei Yan took one and brought it to Bai Yin's mouth: "Ah~"

He took a bite of Lei Yan's chopsticks and was burned, but he couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!"

Lei Yan smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat a few more, and I'll pack it for you when I get home!"

"Are you a god?" Xiao Yi's father sat beside him with a bowl in his hand and asked.

Hakuin replied solemnly: "I'm not a god, there are no gods in our East Continent."

"Then you belong to the little general?"

Lei Yan was afraid that his words would be shocking, so he answered for him: "He is my friend."

"Oh. Hey, why are you dragging me?" Xiao Yi's father looked back at his wife, Xiao Yi Niang pulled his sleeve vigorously, and kept giving him winks, and the other big girls and young wives all smiled secretly.
