Unparalleled Concubine

"Father, the boy and uncle see you coming."

There was no movement in the room. After a while, the door was slowly opened. The person who opened the door was a young man in black, who looked to be in his 20s. After he glanced at the two of them, he bowed his head to Ye Mao and said: "Young master."

This young man is not very tall, he is much shorter than Ye Mao, his skin is dark, but his eyes are very energetic, and there is a sense of strength all over his body, obviously he is a rare master.

Otherwise, Ye Ming would not dare to come back from Jimen Pass with him alone.

Ye Mao took a deep breath and whispered, "Father is inside?"

"The general is inside."

The little father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in with Li Xin.

This is the uppermost room of this inn. There are two rooms inside and outside. After Li Xin and Ye Mao entered the inner room, they saw a gray-bearded old man, wearing only coarse clothes, sitting at the table in the inner room. Drink tea.

His face was full of grooves, and the wrinkles became deeper and deeper.

Even, some age spots can be faintly seen on the face.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

He marched west with Ye Ming five years ago, and the two met many times. At that time, although Senior Brother Ye already had gray hair, most of it was black hair, and there were not many wrinkles on his face. , but it's only been five years since I saw him, this Senior Brother Ye seems to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

This Senior Brother Ye now looks like he is about the same age as Master Ye who passed away a few months ago.

This is not surprising, after all, this Ye Shaobao didn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his body and bones have always been much worse than his father Ye Cheng. Not to mention traveling north and south these years, and another person is in charge of the overall situation in the north, the speed of aging will naturally be faster.

The appearance of Ye Ming touched an outsider like Li Xin greatly, let alone the family of the young man. Ye Mao knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Father..."

Li Xin took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed, "I've seen senior brother."

Ye Ming took a deep breath, helped Ye Mao up from the ground, then looked up at Li Xin, forcing a smile on his face.

"You are here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the chair in the room and said slowly, "Sit down and talk."

Li Xin hesitated for a while, then sat down, but Ye Mao had been squatting beside his father with tears on his face.

Ye Shaobao patted his son on the shoulder and asked, "How is your grandfather's funeral going?"

"It's all done. Fourth Uncle is now guarding grandfather's grave at his hometown in Ningling."

Ye Ming coughed, his face turned pale.

"Father's birthday... I should go back to Beijing with my fourth son. I didn't expect that I only hesitated a little, and it was an eternal separation. I didn't even see the last face."

As he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.

"As the eldest son, I am not filial."

Li Xin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, Ye Mao on the side was already choked up and said: "Father, Grandpa doesn't want you to go back to Beijing either, he doesn't want to be reconciled to your matter..."

"You are also for our family..."

Because the incident has passed for several months, the sadness has faded somewhat, General Ye did not shed tears at the moment, but his voice is still sad.

"My father is gone, where is my home?"

He let out a long sigh.

"I know that the old man hopes that I will stay in the Zhenbei Army for a few more years, until you have enough ability to lead the Zhenbei Army, but if my father passed away, if I still turn a blind eye in the north and be my general, wouldn't I be ashamed? Son of man?"

As he spoke, he patted Ye Mao's back, and said slowly: "I'm going back to Ningling this time, so I won't come out, and I will die in Ningling from now on."

"You...follow your uncle, watch more and learn more."

Li Xin stood up from the chair and bowed deeply to Ye Ming.

"Senior brother beat my younger brother."

Ye Ming also stood up and stepped forward to support Li Xin.

There was a forced smile on his face.

"The imperial court can send you, Chang'an, to preside over the Zhenbei Army. I am very happy for my brother."

His face is sincere.

"This sentence is not a polite remark."

Chapter 720

At this time, Ye Shaobao's mental state and appearance were much worse than five years ago, and he seemed to have no strength to speak, so he said slowly: "Maoer, go out for a while, I have a few words with your uncle. To say."

Ye Mao stood up, wiped the tears from his face, bowed his head and cupped his hands at Ye Ming, and said, "My child understands."

Then the little father-in-law pushed open the door, closed the door himself after going out, and stood quietly waiting at the door.

In this not-so-big room, there were only this pair of seniors with a huge age gap left.

Li Xin supported Ye Ming to sit down, and said softly: "My condolences, brother. When the teacher left, he walked away with a smile. There is no regret."

Ye Ming pointed to the chair beside him.

"You sit down and talk too."

Li Xin sat down according to his words, General Ye let out a foul breath, and his voice was hoarse: "The old man has always been a very free and easy person, but I am not. If I could let go of my blood and family in the early years, I wouldn't abandon the sages." Books, go to Jimen Pass and stay there for decades.”

When Ye Cheng returned to Beijing and was trapped in the capital, the second and third child of the Ye family died in battle, and the fourth child Ye Lin was still young, so he could only rely on him, the boss of the Ye family, to take over the Ye family's business. From that time on, Ye Ming began to study military books hard and study strategic strategies. He started as a pawn in the Forbidden Army. down position.

Ye Ming is a very emotional person. The sudden death of his father was a great blow to him. After receiving the news, he aged several years almost overnight.

Sitting next to him, Li Xin sighed slightly.

"Brother, you are also a father, and Ye Mao respects you very much. You have to take care of yourself, otherwise if something happens, Ye Mao can't bear another blow."

Ye Ming forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I can't die for the time being, but if I continue to stay at Jimen Pass, that's not necessarily the case."

"This time I went back to Ningling's hometown. I came here to guard my father's grave, and I also came here to recuperate. Otherwise, I might really not be able to hold on."

General Ye smiled wryly: "Brother Wei has been in poor health since he was a child. He is much worse than his father. It is not easy to live to his sixtieth year."

Li Xin sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.

When Ye Cheng was still there, the master and the apprentice talked about Ye Ming's body. At that time, the old man was a little worried, worried that his eldest son would walk ahead of him. Now, although Ye Cheng took the first step, Ye Shaobao's body... ...and obviously won't last too long.
