Xiao Chong and Tao Hua stood on both sides of Ye Lan's seat, looked at each other, shook their heads at the same time, and looked straight ahead again.

The entire Ye Mansion was still unable to recover from the frightened scene just now.

Now the whole family is sitting in the hall.

The originally expected reunion scene became embarrassing, even Ye Liang, the big devil, didn't make a sound, and his small eyes glanced back and forth at the adults present.

"I was called back because of this," Ye Cang finally said, "The army I lead will also participate."

Madam Ye looked up at Ye Cang, making him unable to continue talking.

Seeing the stalemate between the two, Ye Jinan sighed and said, "Xi'er, take your sister-in-law and Ye Liang down."

Ye Xi was sensible, so he didn't bother about it, and retreated with Ye Cang's wife and Ye Liang.

Once they left, the room was less crowded, but the atmosphere became more dignified.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to the city lord and resign from this matter," Mrs. Ye said.

"mother!"

"Why," Mrs. Ye glared at Ye Cang, "Why did I marry your father instead of those military nobles, or just to live a peaceful and stable life, that's great," she knew that her tone was a little bit Chong, adjusted, "If you want to seek a position in front of the city lord, mother can help you find a better one."

"I'm not doing it for fame or fortune."

"Then what are you doing?" Mrs. Ye was so angry that she wanted to laugh, "Can't you see what happened today? Those people don't want their lives. Blindly suppressing them will only make them crazier. Anyone who has anything to do with this matter No one in the relationship will end well, let alone you..."

Born aristocrats, and sponsored the suppression of slaves, it's a good target.

Ye Jin'an looked sideways at Madam Ye's already pale face, "Cang'er, you have always been the more sensible of the two brothers, can't you just listen to your mother this time?"

Seeing Ye Lan roll his eyes, Xiao Chong carefully put his hand on his shoulder, he shouldn't care about these things at this time.

When I was stupid, Ye Lan raised her hand and patted the back of Xiao Chong's hand twice, signaling him to rest assured.

"But mother, if you don't do this well, it will threaten the tranquility of Luobei City. I know how terrible war is. I don't want my family and the people in Luobei City to struggle in the flames of war."

"It's already too late." Madam Ye pressed her fingers against her temples, she never felt so tired, she forced herself to swallow her sorrow, and said to Ye Jinan, "Master, let's go back to the room."

"Can……"

"Go back to the room."

Ye Jin'an knew that Mrs. Ye was planning to pamper Ye Cang. After all, no matter what Ye Cang did, he was always out of righteousness, which made people angry and distressed.He helped Mrs. Ye up, and the couple entered the back hall together.

"Peach Blossom, go and have a look." Ye Lan ordered.

Taohua gave a blessing and went out.

There are only two brothers left in the lobby of Ye Mansion.

Ye Lan suddenly felt that there would always be a day when their parents were old, and the family still had to be supported by Ye Cang and himself, so out of a sense of responsibility to the family, Ye Lan still asked, "Brother, do you really think so?" Does it make sense to do it?"

"Ok?"

"Things like this are happening all over the northern border now, which shows that things like slave riots are irreversible. What you are doing now is like a mantis holding a cart."

"I understand," Ye Cang looked up at Ye Lan, the clarity in his eyes shocked people, "Do you know why Lin'an City was taken down by us? It was because similar riots broke out in their city. Then, after looting a few big households, burning and killing many civilians, the whole city is in chaos, and once the interior is weakened, it will be easy for outsiders to invade."

"I came back because I didn't want this kind of thing to happen in our hometown."

"But... this has already begun." Ye Lan said this almost in fear, and the bloody scene under the tavern today flashed through his mind as he made his voice, "What can we do?"

"I didn't come here to suppress these people," Ye Cang expressed his thoughts, "but to really understand what these slaves want. If they need freedom so much, give them back." He looked at Ye Lan , with a very serious expression, "It is precisely for the purpose of promoting the abolition of slavery that I asked to come back."

Ye Lan was puzzled, "But I thought the city lord wanted you..."

"That's right, I know what he means, but I think the officials around the city lord who bewitched him induced him to make a wrong decision, and I have to stop them from continuing. I can't let them turn Luobei city into the second Lin'an City."

……

Xiao Chong helped Ye Lan change his clothes, and talked casually, "You haven't talked since you said that to the young master."

"Ah, is there?" Ye Lan obviously didn't realize it, "I was indeed a little shocked."

"Because of the young master's idea."

"Well," Ye Lan's eyes followed Xiao Chong's movements, and he continued, "I thought my brother's revenge was to become a general, but I didn't expect him to be a counselor."

"The young master is both civil and military, that's a good thing."

"What's the matter, you haven't counted the officials he said to bewitch the city lord."

"Are you afraid of..."

"Yes, I'm really afraid that my brother will be involved in the disputes of their He family. We have worked so hard all these years just to hold my cousin's life. If we openly fight against the second son of the He family for my brother, what will happen?" Don't be exhausted."

"But the second young master said so," Xiao Chong put Ye Lan's clothes on his forearm, raised his eyebrows, "it must be done."

Seeing his expression, Ye Lan felt inexplicably wanting to laugh, stretched out her hand and pressed the tip of Xiao Chong's upturned nose, "Those who know me."

Seeing that Ye Lan turned around and was already on the bed, Xiao Chongcai slowly raised his hand behind the screen and touched the tip of his nose that Ye Lan had touched.
