Chapter 55 - A glance
"A large number of monsters were found outside Luoyang City."
"Your Majesty has an order, three provinces and six ministries, five supervisors and nine temples, the southern yamen, sixteen guards, and the northern yamen, ten army. All officials must arrive within half an hour and must not delay for any reason."
Because Lin Shan’s shout just now, the scene was silent, so everyone in the VIP seat could hear clearly, including Ye Yunhai not far away.
When everyone heard a large number of monsters appearing, and in the broad daylight, they were shocked and stood up from their seats in one go, with cold sweats all over their backs. They were all thinking that they must not make mistakes. If something happened, it would be a crime to implicate the Nine Clans.
"Nephew Ye, I am in charge of official duties, so I will not eat your wedding banquet. I will apologize to the old general on my behalf and come to thank you after the matter is done." The Minister of Rites looked at the people around him, explained to Ye Yunhai, and then walked out of the door immediately, in a hurry.
Just like rehearsed, a group of people rushed into the general's mansion one after another, and then left like a wind storm without any hesitation.
The monsters all ran to the door of their house and were in trouble. Who would dare to have a wedding wine here? Can you feel at ease?
Ye Yunhai stood in front of the banquet, his face was gloomy, his chest was undulating, and his eyes were almost filled with fire. This happened on his wedding day.
Before the guests could even leave, most of the guests left.
Ye Yunhai dares to guarantee that within an hour, he will become a laughing stock in the entire Luoyang City.
"Yunhai, is it okay to borrow soldiers? Give me a correct statement. I only need a thousand soldiers and horses, and I will have it now." Although Lin Shan saw that it was not the time to say this, he had no choice. Human life was at stake.
"Borrowing soldiers?" Ye Yunhai stared at Lin Shan, "Did those monsters appear near Juejian Villa?"
Ye Yunhai is not stupid. Compared with the information just now, coupled with Lin Shan's abnormal behavior, it is very likely that the monsters appeared at his doorstep. Otherwise, with Lin Shan's nature, he would never have made such a strange request today, which would be unreasonable.
There is no reason!
Lin Shan lowered his head and thought for a moment, sighed, "Yes, I just received the Qianli Yinshi Sword from Senior Brother Shushan. Juejian Villa has been besieged by a group of beasts at this moment, and there are heavy casualties. I hope I will rush back to rescue as soon as possible. But when I go back alone, it is a drop in the bucket and it will not work. I can only borrow troops from you. You and my family are now in-laws, so they should help each other."
"How many monsters are there?" Ye Yunhai asked.
"I don't know." Lin Shan replied.
"Are you sure a thousand soldiers can save the siege?"
"I'm not sure, but it's better than nothing."
"It's ridiculous. If I can't lift the siege, then I'll lend you a thousand soldiers and horses to you, it's a death!" Ye Yunhai said coldly, "You said just now that it's a monster surrounding the mountain, it's a murderous thing that doesn't blink. I can't ruin my brothers' lives for my own selfish desires."
After thinking about it, Ye Yunhai asked again, "I'm very curious, why do those monsters besiege your Juejian Villa during the day? Are there anything they are interested in there? Monsters are like humans. They can't get up early without profit. Those beasts will not besiege you for no reason."
After all, he was the youngest captain of the Duqi Crew in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the prince of the General's Mansion. After a little thought, he found the key to the problem.
Ye Yunhai even suspected that this Juejian Villa must have hidden some priceless treasure.
Lin Shan is an old world, so how could he not hear the hidden meaning? "Sea of Yun, don't think too much. This time my father-in-law was completely framed."
Speaking of this, Lin Shan scanned the audience and soon found Ye Que and Qian Shuxiao in a corner of the courtyard, and then pointed directly, "It's him, I'm sure he used some means to lure monsters to attack my Juejian Villa, or he himself was a spy of the demon clan."
"Demon spies?"
Ye Yunhai was stunned and looked over Lin Shan’s fingers, then saw Ye Que standing with his hands behind his back.
It was still the plain, calm expression, just like when he first came to Luoyang and the first time he came to the general's mansion a few months ago.
"Ye Que?" Ye Yunhai was a little surprised to see that the demon spy Lin Shan mentioned was actually Ye Que.
"Do you know him?" Lin Shan raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
"I know him? How could I know him? Since you are so sure that he is a spy from the demon clan." Ye Yunhai's face changed and he waved his hand.
"Come!"
"Get it down!"
Ye Yunhai shouted angrily, and soon more than a dozen guards in golden wire and iron armor rushed towards Ye Que.
The guests who were still on the scene in the palace were also open today. First, the father-in-law scolded his son-in-law, and then the wife taught his father a lesson. Then most of the guests left, but now a spy from the demon clan has become another.
This is not a wedding, it is clearly a performance, which is better than a performance.
It’s better to see it at first sight than to hear it, and everyone was also open today.
"Brother Ye, what should I do?" Qian Shuxiao stood behind Ye Que and asked in a low voice.
"Play things according to the opportunity, don't worry about me. The general's mansion can't trap me. Their attention is all on me now. You can just slip away later. Today our goal has been achieved. I think they can't get married." Ye Que's lips did not move, and Qian Shu laughed and his ears rang.
It's time to say it soon.
Just as the guards in the mansion were about to approach Ye Que, a majestic voice came from the backyard.
"stop!"
The sound is not loud, and it looks a little old, and even lacks aura, but the majesty and domineeringness in the sound are daunting.
"Clang, Clang, Clang..."
A sound of an iron stick poking the ground came one after another. Soon, an old man with white hair slowly walked out with the help of a noble lady. It can be seen that the old man's legs and feet were not very smart, and he needed to use the dragon-headed crutches in his hand to move forward slowly. Behind the two were another old man, who should be the butler of the general's mansion.
"Gen. Ye!"
"Second Lady!"
The table of guests who were closest to the closest were stood up subconsciously and exclaimed. In the past six months, Ye Zhengru has rarely been seen in Luoyang City. He never appeared again even at the monthly dynasty meeting. He heard that he was already terminally ill.
Now, it is indeed the twilight years!
"General Ye, please wait slow, it's windy outside, why don't you sit down and rest first." The more intelligent guests hurried forward and greeted with concern.
Ye Zhengru glanced at the man, said nothing, and walked slowly forward. Xiao Huating beside him had a dignified and generous manner at this time, and there was no point in being arrogant and arrogant.
Walking to Ye Yunhai's side, right in front of the entire wedding scene, Ye Zhengru turned around and stopped, and then slowly looked at the people on the scene.
"I heard that a monster was found outside Luoyang City?" Ye Zhengru asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, my father." Ye Yunhai replied softly with his head down.
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Today is my son's wedding, and I'll be having a church soon."
"wedding?"
Ye Zhengru's voice slightly raised, and then poked the dragon-head crutch in his hand twice.
"It's so hot, why are you going to hold a wedding? You are the captain of the Ye family army, responsible for guarding the safety of Luoyang City. That's how you guard it?"
"Is it important for children's love affairs? Or is the country important? Can't you tell me?" Ye Zhengru said and glared at Ye Yunhai fiercely.
Just one glance, Ye Yunhai was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
After saying that Ye Yunhai, Ye Zhengru looked at Ye Que, a spy from the demon clan in Linshankou.
It was the same glance, but Ye Que looked at it, but there were mixed feelings, "Is this person his father?"
(Today's first update, there will definitely be some later.)
