This sigh contains too many things.

In this era, seventy is already rare, not to mention the eighty-year-old cane dynasty, the old man Ye lived to this age, the former brothers, robes, relatives and friends, know the old friends, in fact, there are very few people who live in the world, and he stands in such a high place that he has been trapped in the capital for decades, and he has not even had a person who can speak.

Li Xin can barely be counted as half a person, and 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 80 years.

Thinking of this, the old man slowly exhaled a breath, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Xin beside him, and said lightly: "This is Li Chang'an, the old man's closed disciple." ”

Ye Chong and Ye Yong glanced at each other, and immediately no longer hesitated, knelt down again, and kowtowed to Li Xin: "I've seen Uncle Li." ”

It is refreshing to have a high seniority, but there are also embarrassing places, Li Xin can now calmly accept Ye Mao calling him uncle, but these two big men who have never met knelt in front of him and call him uncle, which still makes him feel uncomfortable.

So the Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said weakly: "You two don't have to be so polite, get up quickly." ”

The two of them were very sensible, but they still kept their heads down and didn't get up.

Because Old Man Ye didn't speak.

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

Only then did the two men tidy up their clothes, got up from the ground, and stood aside with their hands down, Old Man Ye said in a muffled voice: "Your Uncle Li is also half of the Ye family, if you enter Beijing again in the future, remember to bring him a gift." ”

This is not blackmailing people from the hometown, but helping.

Old man Ye knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to live for too long, and his eldest son Ye Ming's health was not very good, if the worst-case scenario was that both of them and father and son were gone, then the Ye family would inevitably be weakened for a long time, and even collapse.

He misses the people in his hometown very much, so he wants Li Xinshun to help him.

The Marquis of Jing'an was stunned, and then smiled bitterly at the teacher: "Master Ye, the disciple is not surnamed Ye, he only occupies a generation, I am afraid that it will not be good for the Ye family's courtesy......"

Ye Sheng frowned slightly: "You don't want to?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that some ...... are not suitable"

Li Xin took a deep breath, and just as he wanted to say something more, he heard Old Man Ye say lightly: "It's just that you robbed Zhao Jia's kid of compensation, is this always okay?" ”

Li Nobunaga sighed and bowed deeply to Ye Sheng.

"That's what the disciple meant, but since Master Ye said so, Li Xin was cheeky and accepted this gift."

Old man Ye nodded with satisfaction, reluctantly stood up from the recliner, walked to the two Ye brothers, and said lightly: "Raise your head, recognize your Uncle Li clearly, and don't give the wrong gift in the future." ”

Only then did the Ye brothers raise their heads, look at Li Xin carefully, and then bow their heads again: "Third grandfather, the nephews and grandnephews recognize Uncle Li." ”

Ye Sheng nodded, and said: "The people over there in my hometown, come to the capital every year to send things to the old man, this friendship is remembered by the old man, after you go back, ask in Yejiazhuang, if anyone is willing to join the army, you can let them come to Beijing to find my grandson, the old man started from Qiu Ba, I don't know other roads, there is only such a way to give you, after joining the army, you will go to Jimen to guard the side, and whether you can mix up when the time comes, it all depends on personal creation." ”

In the past few decades, in order to avoid suspicion, Ye Sheng never let people from his hometown join the army, at least not let people from his hometown go his own way to join the army, but now he suddenly let go of this opening, because he has little time and wants to make this Ye family have a deeper foundation as much as possible.

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

"Thank you, third grandfather, after the nephews and grandchildren go back, they will inform the family immediately!"

Old man Ye was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't let too many people come, try to find some promising soldiers, otherwise you won't be able to talk about it, and you will have to suffer a lot, and even lose your life." ”

"The nephews understand!"

Li Xin, who was standing on the side, watched all this quietly, but he did not look at the Ye family brothers in the countryside, but at the little grandfather Ye Mao not far away.

To put it bluntly, Old Man Ye did all this because he was afraid that he, the eldest grandson, would not be able to grasp the family property.

Good intentions.

When Ye Sheng was talking to the Ye family brothers, Chen Sixteen, who followed Li Xin into the Chen Guogong Mansion, walked in, walked in, walked to Li Xin's side, and whispered in Li Xin's ear. z

The face of the Marquis of Jing'an suddenly became solemn.

He took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, walked to Old Man Ye's side, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Master Ye, my Master Wang is here." ”

Ye Sheng was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Just let him in, do you want Lao Tzu to invite him at the door?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly remembered that Wang Zhong was an old man of the same era as him, so he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's not impossible for Lao Tzu to invite him at the door." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was solemn.

"Master Ye, my Master Wang didn't come alone, there were seventeen of them in total, they should ...... They are all the old departments that followed you on the northern expedition back then, and it was Master Wang who didn't sleep all night yesterday and ran all over the capital to contact him, saying that he wanted to pay tribute to Master Ye and you together. ”

It has been forty years since Ye Sheng returned from the Northern Expedition, that is to say, even if the person who came back with him was only one or twenty years old, he is now sixty years old.

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

Hearing Li Xin's words, the heart of this young general who killed people without blinking an eye was greatly touched, and he froze in place and did not move for a long time.

I don't know how long later, Ye Sheng, whose eyes were a little moist, said in a hoarse voice: "They...... Where is it? ”

"At the main gate of the Guogong Mansion, led by Master Wang, waiting for you to agree to see them, they will come in to congratulate you on your birthday."

Ye Sheng took a deep breath, took the initiative to reach out, grabbed Li Xin's shoulder, and slowly spoke: "Take me there." ”

He was letting Li Xin hold him.

Seeing this, Li Xin's heart was also a little sour.

Old man Ye has always been the image of a fierce general brother in his heart, even if this fierce general brother has been sick in the past two years, Li Xin also feels that Old Man Ye can still beat himself to death with one punch.

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

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

Old Man Ye shook his head slowly but resolutely.

"Those old brothers are the generals who came to see them, not to see a wasted person."

"The old man is going to walk over."

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

Along the way, this old man's footsteps were vain, and if it weren't for Li Xin's support, he probably wouldn't have been able to walk a long time ago.

Even Li Xin himself felt that this journey had been passed I don't know how many times, and this time it was extremely long.

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

The fourth elder of the Ye family, Ye Xuan, also received the news, and rushed over in a panic, wanting to carry Ye Sheng back to the recliner to rest, but was glared back by the old man Ye, and followed behind Li Xin with a shrunken look, not daring to speak.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, the main gate 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'll go out on my own."

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

They didn't dare to stand at the main gate to block the way, so they only hid in a corner on the right side of the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, waiting anxiously.

The youngest of these people is also in his sixties, and the oldest is even one or two years older than Ye Sheng, who is already in his early eighties.

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 Sixteen, who reported the news, to come back.

They were worried about whether they would be able to see the general.

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

He saw the old men at a glance, and then his face lit up and he spoke to the old brothers.

The voice is loud.

"Brothers, you see I'm coming......"

Wang Zhong and the others were shocked when they heard this, and then they knelt on the ground one by one, and a group of seventy or eighty-year-old people cried profusely.

"Ye Shuai, my subordinates see that you are here......"
