Chapter 53 Ye Shuai

This sigh contains too many things.

In this era, seventy is rare since ancient times, not to mention the age of eighty-year-old Zhang Dynasty. Old Man Ye lived to this age. His former brothers, robes, relatives and friends, and friends, were actually very few of them living in the world. And he stood at such a high place that he had been trapped in the capital for decades, and he didn't even have a person who could speak.

Only Li Xin can be considered half a person. The master and apprentice can occasionally sit together and chat for a while, but Li Xin is only in his twenties this year.

No one has walked with him for more than eighty years.

Thinking of this, the old man slowly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Li Xin beside him, and said lightly: "This is Li Changan, my closed disciple."

Ye Chong and Ye Yong looked at each other, and immediately stopped hesitating, knelt down again, and kowtowed to Li Xin: "I have met Uncle Li."

Although it is easy to be of high seniority, there are also embarrassing things. Li Xin can now calmly accept Ye Mao calling him uncle, but these two big men who had never met were kneeling in front of him and called him uncle, which still made him feel uncomfortable.

So Marquis Jing'an smiled embarrassedly and said, "You two don't have to be so polite, get up quickly."

The two of them were very sensible, but they still lowered their heads and did not get up.

Because Old Man Ye didn't speak.

After a while, Ye Sheng coughed and said, "Get up."

The two men then tidied up their clothes, got up from the ground, stood beside them with their hands hanging down, and Old Man Ye said in a muffled voice: "You Uncle Li is also half of the Ye family. If you go to Beijing again in the future, remember to bring him a gift."

This is not extorting people from their hometown, but helping them.

Old Man Ye knew very well that he could not live for too long, and his eldest son Ye Ming was not in good health. If it was the worst case, both father and son were gone, then the Ye family would inevitably weaken for a long time and even become depressed.

He missed the people in his hometown very much, so he wanted Li Xin to help him.

Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly at the teacher, "Master Ye, my disciple is not surnamed Ye, I only have one seniority, I am afraid I will not be able to accept the gifts of the Ye family..."

Ye Sheng frowned slightly: "Don't you want to?"

"I don't want to, but it's just a little bit inappropriate..."

Li Xin took a deep breath. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Old Man Ye say lightly: "Just think you snatched that boy Zhao Jia's compensation, that's fine?"

Li Xin sighed and bowed deeply to Ye Sheng.

"This is not what the disciple means, but since Master Ye said so, Li Xin was so shameless and received this gift."

Old Man Ye nodded with satisfaction, barely stood up from the recliner, walked to the two brothers of the Ye family, and said lightly: "Raise your head and recognize your uncle Li clearly. Don't give the wrong gift in the future."

The Ye brothers then looked up, looked at Li Xin carefully, and then lowered their heads again: "Three grandfathers, nephews and grandchildren recognize Uncle Li."

Ye Sheng nodded and said, "People from my hometown come to the capital every year to deliver things to me. I remember this friendship. After you go back, ask in Yejiazhuang that if anyone is willing to join the army, they can come to Beijing to find my grandson. I started with Qiu Ba and did not recognize any other way. There is only one way to give you. After joining the army, you will go to Jimen Pass to guard the border. Whether you can make a fortune depends on your personal fortune."

In the past few decades, in order to avoid suspicion, Ye Sheng never allowed people from his hometown to join the army, and at least did not allow people from his hometown to join the army. Now he suddenly let go of this because he has no time and wants to make the Ye family deeper.

When the Ye brothers heard this, everyone was overjoyed and kowtowed to Ye Sheng.

"Thank you, Grandpa San, and you will immediately inform your family after you go back!"

Old Man Ye was silent for a while and said, "Don't let too many people come here. Try to find some promising army members, otherwise they will not make a breakthrough and will suffer a lot and even lose their lives."

"Neighbors understand!"

Li Xin, who was standing aside, looked at all this quietly, but he did not look at the Ye brothers from the countryside, but looked at the young master Ye Mao not far away.

To put it bluntly, Old Man Ye is afraid that his eldest grandson will not be able to grasp the property of his family.

Good intentions.

While Ye Sheng was talking to the Ye brothers, Chen Shiliu, who followed Li Xin to enter the Duke of Chen's mansion, walked in. He walked to Li Xin and whispered in Li Xin's ear.

Marquis Jing'an's face suddenly became serious.

He took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, walked to Old Man Ye, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Master Ye, my Master Wang is here."

Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just let him in, do you still have to go to the door to invite him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Wang Zhong was an old man from his era, so he smiled mockingly: "It's not impossible for me to go to the door to invite him."

Marquis Jing'an's face was solemn.

"Master Ye, I, Master Wang, did not come alone. There were 17 people in total. They should... they were all old subordinates who followed you to the north. Master Wang did not sleep all night yesterday and went to the capital to contact him, saying that he would like to pay your birthday to Master Ye together."

It has been forty years since Ye Sheng returned from the Northern Expedition, which means that even if the person who came back with him was only 10 or 20 years old, he is now 60 years old.

There are not many old brothers who are still alive at this age.

Hearing Li Xin's words, the general who killed people without blinking when he was young was very touched. He stood there in a daze and did not move for a long time.

After a while, Ye Sheng, whose eyes were a little wet, said in a hoarse voice: "Where are they...?"

"At the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, Master Wang is led by you and waiting for you to agree to them, they will come in to celebrate your birthday."

Ye Sheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, put his hands on Li Xin's shoulder, and slowly spoke: "Take me there."

He asked Li Xin to support him.

Seeing this, Li Xin felt a little sad.

In his heart, Old Man Ye has always been the image of a powerful general. Even if this powerful general brother has become ill in the past two years, Li Xin also feels that Old Man Ye can still kill him with one punch.

But now it seems that this old man... can't even walk.

He took a deep breath and whispered in Ye Sheng's ear: "Master Ye, I'll carry you over?"

Old Man Ye shook his head slowly and resolutely.

"Those old brothers are visiting their generals, not visiting a useless man."

"I'm going to walk over."

There was no choice but to try his best to support the old man with the stick and slowly walk towards the front door of Duke Chen's mansion from the backyard.z

Along the way, the old man's steps were vague. If Li Xin had not supported him, he would have probably been unable to walk.

Even Li Xin himself felt that this journey that he had walked countless times was particularly long this time.

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

Ye Lin, the fourth brother of the Ye family, also received the news and rushed over in a panic, wanting to carry Ye Sheng back to the recliner to rest, but Old Man Ye glared back with a look and followed Li Xin in a shrunk, not daring to speak anymore.

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

Old Man Ye tried hard to break free from Li Xin's support and took a few breaths.

"I'll go out myself."

At the door, seventeen white-haired old men were waiting outside the gate of Duke Chen’s mansion, led by Wang Zhong.

They did not dare to stand at the main entrance to block the road, but hid in a corner on the right side of the gate of Duke Chen's mansion, waiting nervously.

The youngest of these people are in their sixties and the oldest, even one or two years older than Ye Sheng, and are already in their early 80s.

Each of them was looking at the gate of Duke Chen’s mansion.

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

They were worried whether they could see the general.

Finally, under the expectation of the 17-paired pair of expectant eyes, a thin and white-haired old man walked out of the gate of Duke Chen's mansion.

He saw these old men at a glance, and then his face shone with light and he spoke to these old men.

The sound is loud.

"Brothers, you guys see I'm here..."

Wang Zhong and others were shocked when they heard this, and then they knelt down one by one on the ground, and a group of old men in their seventies and eighties cried so hard that they burst into tears.
