Unparalleled Concubine

It has been 40 years since Ye Cheng returned from the Northern Expedition, that is to say, even if the person who came back with him was only 20 years old, he is now 60 years old.

At this age, there are not many old brothers who are still alive.

Hearing Li Xin's words, the young general who killed people without blinking an eye was greatly touched. He froze in place and didn't move for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Cheng, with moist eyes, said hoarsely, "Where are they...?"

"At the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, led by Master Wang, waiting for your consent to see them, they will come in to wish you a birthday."

Ye Cheng took a deep breath, reached out his hand actively, put his arm around Li Xin's shoulder, and said slowly, "Take me there."

He asked Li Xin to help him.

Seeing this, Li Xin felt a little sour in his heart.

In his heart, Old Man Ye had always been a fierce general. Even if he had been ill for the past two years, Li Xin felt that Old Man Ye could still kill him with one punch.

But now it seems that this old man... seems to be unable to walk.

He took a deep breath, and whispered in Ye Cheng's ear: "Master Ye, I will carry you there?"

Old Man Ye shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Those old brothers came to see their general, not to see a useless man."

"The old man has to go over there."

There was no way, Li Xin could only try his best to support the old man with a stick, and walked slowly from the backyard towards the front door of Chen Guogong's mansion. z

Along the way, the old man's footsteps were sloppy. Without Li Xin's support, he probably would have been unable to walk.

Even Li Xin himself felt that this journey had been traveled countless times, and this time it was extremely long.

He saw with his own eyes that the teacher's legs were shaking.

Ye Lin, the fourth son of the Ye family, also received the news, and rushed over in a panic, wanting to carry Ye Cheng back to the recliner to rest, but was stared back by the old man Ye, and shrank behind Li Xin, I dare not speak anymore.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, the main entrance of the Ye family was already in sight.

Old man Ye struggled to break free from Li Xin's support, and took a few heavy breaths.

"I'm going out by myself."

At the gate, led by Wang Zhong, seventeen gray-haired old men were waiting outside the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion.

They didn't dare to stand in the way of the main entrance, but hid in a corner on the right side of the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, waiting anxiously.

Among these people, the youngest was in his 60s, and the oldest was even a year or two older than Ye Cheng, in his early [-]s.

Each of them was looking at the door of Chen Guogong's mansion.

Of course, they were not waiting for Ye Sheng, but for Chen Shiliu, who reported the news.

They were worried about whether they could see the general.

Finally, under the hope of seventeen pairs of expectant eyes, a thin old man with white hair walked out of the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion.

He saw these old soldiers at a glance, and then his face glowed, and he spoke to these old brothers.

Loud.

"Old brothers, you see I'm coming..."

Wang Zhong and the others were shocked when they heard the words, and then fell to the ground one by one. A group of old people in their 80s and [-]s were crying so much.

"Ye Shuai, my subordinates saw you coming..."

Chapter 694

The sight in front of him was undoubtedly very shocking.

Seventeen old soldiers with all white hair, laboriously half-kneeled on the ground and performed the military salute in the army back then, everyone's eyes filled with tears.

Ye Cheng didn't necessarily know all of these people before, or even basically didn't know all of them. After all, there were too many people who fought against him, and it was impossible for him to remember these soldiers at the bottom.

But each of these people remembered him.

Back then, Ye Shuai was like a god of war!

Ye Cheng looks ordinary now, like an ordinary old man who tends flowers and plants at home, but because of the reason why he was in the army back then, he had a very high prestige in the army, especially in the Northern Expeditionary Army back then. , to a terrifying height.

Even the broad-minded Emperor Wu had to be afraid of this great general who made such great contributions.

Back then, Ye Cheng, as long as he called from the top, at least [-]% of the people in the Northern Expeditionary Army would respond and fight back to the capital with him.

And at that time, Ye Cheng had already reached the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. With his huge influence at that time, he might as well be the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty without having to return to the capital.

In comparison, Li Xin was once a general of the imperial army. If he ascended to the top during the western expedition, there is a high probability that the people under his command will quickly find a hemp rope to tie him up and escort him into the capital to receive the reward. .

This is the gap.

In terms of mind, Li Xin may not be inferior to Old Man Ye, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, at least "leading troops", Li Xin is much, much inferior to his teacher.

To this day, there are still many people in the Jin Dynasty who sigh for Ye Sheng. If the court can continue to trust General Ye after the Northern Expedition, not only the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the north will be destroyed, but Tubo in the west will also be included in the Dajin territory. .

These seventeen people haven't seen Ye Cheng for decades, but none of them have forgotten the domineering Ye Shuai who was on the battlefield 40 years ago. Ye Cheng, everyone was very excited.

Old man Ye, who was already walking unsteadily, staggered, but walked towards the seventeen old brothers firmly.

Although he doesn't recognize these people, they are all brothers who fought together back then. Ye Cheng is a very nostalgic person, he recognizes these brothers.

Because of the slow walking, the road from the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion to the front of these seventeen people seemed extremely long. It was so long that Li Xin wanted to go forward to help his teacher, but just as he took a step, he sighed and backed away. return.

At this time, Master Ye would be unhappy if he went up to help.

No matter how long the road is, it will come to an end. Ye Cheng finally walked in front of these people. After he arrived, he stood on the spot and took a few breaths. Helped up.

"Old brothers, get up."

Old man Ye showed a happy smile on his face.

"Everyone is getting old. If you hurt your bones again, you will shorten the old man's lifespan."

Because he was afraid that something would happen to Ye Cheng, Li Xin still followed, and now he was standing a dozen steps away, seeing Ye Cheng's smile, he was very moved.

Counting the days, Li Xin met this Chen Guogong in Chengde in 18 years, until the first year of Taikang formally became a teacher, the two have known each other for so many years, Li Xin also chatted with Ye Cheng many times in private, during which Ye Cheng also He would get angry and laugh, but it was the first time in the past ten years that Li Xin saw his teacher smile so sincerely.

Seventeen old soldiers got up from the ground one after another, and bowed to Ye Cheng one by one, like their handsome Ye to celebrate his birthday.
