The daily life of the eldest son

In the afternoon, by the mountain pond in the harem, Nanrong Qingxia and Ye Yixian sat in the gazebo to play chess, Cui Liang and Tang Ce accompanied them.

In the middle of a game, Ye Yi started to play randomly, causing Cui Liang to stare at Ye Yi again and again.And after a cup of tea, Nanrong Qingxia noticed something.

"What kind of trap is Aiqing setting for me?" Looking at the messy chessboard, Nanrong Qingxia really didn't know where to move.

Ye Yi curled his lips and said: "I can't understand His Majesty's chess moves, so I can only deal with it in this way."

"En?" Hearing this, Nanrong Qingxia looked at the chessboard carefully again, only to find that not only the black pieces representing Ye Yi were arranged in a mess, but also the number of his white pieces was not so organized, it was also messy It's annoying to watch.

Throwing the white stones in his hand into the chess basket, Nanrong Qingxia sighed, and said: "I thought that Aiqing would feel very uncomfortable after hearing what they said in the court today, thinking about taking love Qing came to a pleasing place to relax, but it turned out that I was not happy."

Ye Yi naturally knew what Nanrong Qingxia was talking about, and said with a smile: "I think His Majesty should be happy, those adults are also concerned about His Majesty."

That being said, Ye Yi also felt that those ministers probably didn't bring their brains into the palace this morning, otherwise why would they bring up the harem draft when Nanrong Qingxia was preoccupied with the Northwest War?He also said that when the day of the draft arrives and the national mourning has passed, the draft this time is the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne, and it should be held in a big way.Don't they remember that Nanrong Qingxia discussed with all the ministers a few days ago where the Northwest military expenditure would come from?It's not so easy to even get together the military expenses, but they still have to spend money to make arrangements for the draft?Nanrong Qingxia is not a foolish king who is greedy for pleasure, are they stupid?

Nanrong Qingxia snorted coldly, and said: "Why should they care about my family affairs? Is there a shortage of people in my harem? Do I have no heirs? They really feel uncomfortable if they don't add trouble to me for a while!"

"Your Majesty, calm down," Ye Yi said with a faint smile, "It is His Majesty's duty to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. Your lords also hope that the Nanrong Clan's world can continue forever."

"I have a prince, and the prince will have his own son in the future. Is it possible that the Nanrong-style incense will be broken because there are one or two concubines missing in the harem? They are still spreading, and they think I am a stallion? Do you want to give birth to so many princes so that they can use them to fight for power? Hmph!"

Ye Yi was speechless.In fact, he felt that those ministers just had nothing serious to talk about. Regarding the war in the northwest, they could only get a little bit of information from the battle report sent back by Tang Xiao. The current situation is changing rapidly, and people like them who are thousands of miles away can't help at all. Maybe they feel that there is nothing to talk about, so they bring up the matter of the draft.

Suddenly a soldier with a message appeared not far away, Lian Sheng walked over quickly when he saw it, took a booklet and walked back quickly, and sent the booklet to Nanrong Qingxia.

Nanrong Qingxia glanced at Ye Yi first, and then opened the booklet, her face changed drastically after seeing it.

Ye Yi has been staring at Nanrong Qingxia since the brochure was in Nanrong Qingxia's hands, seeing Nanrong Qingxia's face change at this time, Ye Yi's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Nanrong Qingxia in fear.

Nanrong Qingxia hesitated for a moment, then handed the folder to Ye Yi, and immediately said to Tang Ce, who was guarding him, "Send Master Ye back to the Tang residence immediately."

Back to Tang Mansion?Tang Ce was puzzled, but looking up at Ye Yi's face, Tang Ce felt that something was wrong, and he didn't care whether he would be rude in front of Nanrong Qingxia, so he took a step forward and grabbed the booklet from Ye Yi's hand, After only a cursory glance, he was so shocked that he dropped his book.

The zhezi fell to the ground with a muffled sound, but this slight sound startled Ye Yi, Ye Yi jumped up suddenly, and ran out.

Tang Ce felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and hurried to catch up.

The palace is nearly three miles from north to south, and Ye Yi ran from the northernmost mountain pool all the way to the southernmost Anshangmen, but he didn't feel anything at all. If Tang Ce hadn't asked for a horse from the left and right Qianniuwei camps to chase him When it came up, Ye Yi was afraid that he would have to run back to the Tang residence.

When he arrived at the gate of the Tang Mansion, Ye Yi quickly turned over and got off his horse, but when he slid off the horse's back, he fell firmly to the ground.

"Brother Yi!" Tang Ce dismounted immediately and pulled Ye Yi up.

As soon as he stood up, Ye Yi brushed Tang Ce's hand away, and staggered into the Tang mansion, walking up the stairs could be called rolling and climbing.

After entering the gate of the Tang Mansion, Ye Yi stopped after taking a few steps. The normally spacious front yard was a little crowded at this time. There were some soldiers that Ye Yi didn't know standing in the yard. It looked as if he had come from afar, and the Tang family was still standing in the yard, those who were crying and those who were not were all looking at Ye Yi with mournful faces. Mrs. Tang was tightly wrapped around her waist by Tang Shichang and held her in her arms. Before falling to the ground, seeing Ye Yi, Mrs. Tang opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything after all.

The crowd is like a coffin, the lid of which is half open, Tang Taiwei is standing next to the coffin, with his head bowed and not saying a word.

It took a long time for Ye Yi to lift his foot and take a step. When this step landed, he staggered again. If Tang Ce hadn't stepped forward quickly to help him, Ye Yi might fall again.

He staggered to Tang Taiwei's side, turned around slowly, and before he looked down, tears could not help but flow down.

Looking down at the unrecognizable corpse lying in the coffin, Ye Yi raised his hand, pushed the lid of the coffin back a little harder, reached in and groped on the corpse, and took out the When putting on the jade pendant hidden in his clothes, Ye Yi finally couldn't help crying.

"Master Ye." Suddenly, a soldier escorting Tang Yun back to the capital stepped forward, stopped beside the kneeling Ye Yi and said hesitantly, "Here is General Tang... General Tang Xiao transferred his post to Master Ye Things, there is a letter from General Tang Xiao, and something found from General Tang Yun's relics, General Tang Xiao said, it is for you."

Hearing the sound, Ye Yi turned his head, reached out tremblingly to take the cloth bag from the soldier's hand, opened it, and found that there was only a letter and a jade pendant inside. The jade pendant was made of good materials, but the carving was a bit poor , and the surface is rough, it seems that it has not been polished.

Ye Yi stared at the pendant, and then asked: "This pendant...is there only one?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "It's a pair. General Tang Yun bought the jade material from the miners at the jade mine in the northwest, and the pattern on it was carved by General Tang Yun himself, but..." But it was not finished in time.

Hearing this detailed explanation, Ye Yi turned his head to look at this person again, and asked, "Have you been with Tang Yun for a long time?"

The man nodded and said: "The humble position is General Tang Yun's bodyguard. When General Tang Yun went to the northwest, the humble position has been with the general."

"How did he die?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Yi would ask this question in front of the Tang family, the man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tang Taiwei.

"Answer him." Tang Taiwei also wanted to know how his grandson died.

Looking at the appearance of the corpse, Tang Yun died after being captured and tortured by the enemy, and Taiwei Tang believed that his grandson would never be easily caught and could not escape.

The man hesitated again and again before lowering his head, his voice choked up and said: "Yes... I was betrayed by a traitor, and then..."

Ye Yi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the person who betrayed him?"

"I was captured by General Tang Xiao and locked up."

"Alive?" Ye Yi asked.

"Alive."

Ye Yi laughed suddenly, and said, "It's good to be alive."

The guard frowned puzzled after hearing this.

Just live?What's good?They wished they could tear that person apart, why did General Tang Xiao and this Lord Ye let him live?

Ye Yi stood up slowly, and said: "Death is a hundred, and only living can make him pay back!"

Tang Taiwei finally moved, turned his head to look at Ye Yi and asked, "What do you want?"

Ye Yi stared at Tang Yun's face in the coffin, and said firmly, "After Ah Yun's funeral, I'm going to the northwest."

Tang Taiwei didn't say anything, just turned around and went back to the backyard of the Tang mansion.

On that day, Bai was hanged in the Tang mansion, after Ye Yi went back to the palace and talked about his plan with Nanrong Qingxia, he immediately returned to the Tang mansion, plunged into the mourning hall and never came out again.

When I first heard that Ye Yi was going to the northwest, Nanrong Qingxia wanted to stop him, but seeing Ye Yi's firm expression, Nanrong Qingxia had no choice but to agree.Nanrong Qingxia knew that although Ye Yi said righteously in front of him that he was going to unify the Northwest, in fact he might just want to avenge Tang Yun with his own hands. Although he was worried about Ye Yi's safety, Nanrong Qingxia had no choice but to Admitting that he was really relieved, killing Tang Yun and annoyed Tang Xiao and Ye Yi at the same time, it was only a matter of time before the Northwest side was completely unified into the territory.

After three days of vigil, Ye Yi stayed in Tang Yun's mourning hall without taking a step out. Originally, he wanted to polish the jade pendant, but after thinking about it, he kept it in its original shape, because it was made by Tang Yun himself. appearance.So Ye Yi finally just punched a hole in the shapeless jade pendant, put it on a string and hung it around his neck, keeping it close to his body.

In the past three days, Ye Yi talked a lot, almost completely telling the past 20 years of the three of them, from the first time he saw his infant brothers to the first time he followed Tang Yun to protect Tang Yun. The experience of his legs becoming weak during a fight, from Tang Yun's bed-wetting to Tang Yun blocking the first knife for him.Ye Yi found out that he actually remembered clearly what happened between the three of them when he told the story.

On the day of the burial, Ye Yi and three other men from the Tang family carried Tang Yun's coffin out of the funeral together. They walked all the way from the Tang residence to the place of burial. Ye Yi was reluctant to let go of the weight on his shoulders, but in the end he still had to put.

The coffin was dug into the pit and buried with soil, hearing the heart-wrenching cries of the people around him, but Ye Yi couldn't cry.

After the funeral was over, everyone else left, but the Tang family and Ye Yi were still standing by the tombstone.

Tang Ce, who didn't know when to leave, led the horse over, carrying a bundle in his hand, which was for Ye Yi.

Tang Yan followed beside her with a jug of wine in her arms.

"Thank you." Ye Yi turned around and took the wine jug from Tang Yan's hand when he heard footsteps coming to a stop. I walked around the tombstone, "Ah Yun, don't run away alone. I don't want to call you old man when I see you in the next life. Maybe it will be lonely alone, but wait for the two of us. Don't think that you ran to another place. When the world is gone, I can forget about everything, and before I reach the northwest, I must take good care of A Xiao, we made an appointment."

Smiling sadly, Ye Yi turned around, his eyes swept over the Tang family one by one, and finally looked at Tang Taiwei firmly, and said solemnly: "I will definitely send Tang Xiao back safe and sound."

Tang Taiwei nodded, then patted Ye Yi on the shoulder, and said, "You have to come back with me. Go."

Kneeling down and kowtowing to Taiwei Tang three times, Ye Yicai got up and got on his horse neatly.

"Brother Yi." Suddenly grabbing the bag in his hand, Tang Ce looked up at Ye Yi. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he only had two words, "Take care."

Ye Yi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said: "You also take care, take good care of the elders in the family. Don't worry, your second brother and I will come back before you get married."

Tang Ce was amused, and said, "Then I want to get married early, so I'll go back and look for someone."

"Okay." Looking at the rest of the Tang family, Ye Yi beat his horse and left.

There was a roar of a beast in the distance, and Xuanfeng came galloping like lightning, following Ye Yi not too far or too close, as if waiting for the horse to get used to its existence before getting close to Ye Yi.

Ye Yi turned his head to look at Xuanfeng, smiled and raised his whip to urge the horse.
