Chapter 289 I know you will come again (4000 words, 2 in 1)

When Xu Ming's gaze fell on Ye Ye in front of him, he was stunned.

Xu Ming clearly saw the demonic aura lingering on Ye Ye's body, but he could not see Ye Ye's true form.

"A great demon in the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Xu Ming came to a conclusion in his mind.

After this evolution, Xu Ming's Daowen Eye has acquired a certain ability to see the essence of things.

For example, you can clearly see the transformation of ghosts and the personification of monsters.

As long as the demon is at the Jindan realm or below, Xu Ming is confident that he can see the other party's true form with his pair of Dao pattern eyes.

But now, he only saw the other party's demonic aura, and other than that, he couldn't see anything clearly.

This is enough to show that the other party's realm is at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Ye noticed something and turned around.

When Ye Ye looked at Xu Ming, Xu Ming's Dao Eye had already been retracted and everything returned to normal.

"What's wrong with Sister Ye?" Xu Ming asked with a smile.

"Nothing..." Ye Ye shook his head, "I thought someone was knocking on the door, it seems I heard it wrong."

After saying that, Ye Ye turned around and continued to walk into the house with Xu Ming.

Ye Ye brought Xu Ming into the house and poured him a cup of tea. "There are many children in the outer courtyard, and it's a bit noisy. If you don't mind, you can wait here for a while. Li Han should be back soon."

"Sister Ye, you're welcome." Xu Ming took the tea and took a sip.

"Hmm? This tea looks familiar." Xu Ming looked at the tea leaves in the cup.

Ye Ye nodded: "This tea is the dragon leaf bud that Li Han brought back from the military camp."

"No wonder it feels so familiar." Xu Ming smiled. "Dragon Leaf Bud is the military tea of ​​Xuefutu. It has the effects of strengthening blood, quenching thirst and relieving heat, and regulating breathing. Each of us drinks several large pots every day. We are used to it. I used to think that this tea was a little bitter and not very fragrant. After not drinking it for such a long time, I think it tastes quite good."

Ye Ye smiled and said softly: "Dragon Leaf Buds are not cheap. Although they are sold outside, one pound costs a lot of money. I told him not to bring anything back or he would be punished, but Li Han never listened. Every time Li Han brought something back from the barracks, I was always worried. I usually didn't dare to drink it. I would only brew it when the guests in the barracks came.

However, for Mr. Xu's status, this tea is nothing, but it is the most expensive tea in our family. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu.

If the military camp investigates this tea, Master Xu, please help us."

"I am not a person of high status. If I must say, I am Li Han's brother. Besides, many people take this tea out, so it's no big deal." Xu Ming consoled him. "In our barracks, there are a lot of dragon leaf buds. Soldiers often take some home. Most of the non-commissioned officers in the barracks turn a blind eye. If you don't take too much and sell it outside for money, most of them won't pursue the matter."

Listening to Xu Ming's words, Ye Ye just nodded without saying anything more, and silently poured tea for Xu Ming.

"Come to think of it, judging from Sister Ye's accent, she shouldn't be from Wudu, right?" Xu Ming asked.

"Yes." Ye Ye nodded, "I am from Baihe Country. When Baihe Country was at war, I fled to Wu Country."

"Is that so?" Xu Ming had heard of Baihe Kingdom when he was a child.

Baihe State was actually a small country next to Wu State.

Because it was a small country and served as a buffer zone between the State of Wei, it had always been peaceful. As long as Baihe State did not provoke either side, did not surrender to either side, and always maintained a neutral attitude, it could live a pretty good life.

But the King of Baihe Kingdom insisted on making trouble. Although he was an emperor, he still wanted to seek immortality like a monk.

Even the King of Baihe Kingdom worshipped the leader of a cult as his national teacher.

From then on, the King of Baihe State devoted himself to cultivating immortality and ignored state affairs. The entire Baihe State was dominated by treacherous ministers and the people lived in misery.

Five years ago, civil strife broke out in Baihe State and the entire country fell apart, with half of it being incorporated into Wei State and the other half into Wu State.

"Who are these children in the yard?" Xu Ming asked again.

"Most of them are children from Baihe Country, and there are also many orphans from Wudu." Ye Ye explained.

"Sister Ye has a kind heart."

If the other party does not have any strange ideas and is really just doing good deeds, then this Miss Ye really has a kind heart like a bodhisattva, it is absolutely true.

But Xu Ming was afraid that this goblin had other intentions.

"It's not that I have a kind heart, I'm just doing what I can, and I'm not the only one taking care of these children.

Some of the children grew up and left here to make their own livings. Some became shop assistants, some became tailors, and some became cooks.

The most promising one was Li Han, who was selected to join the Xuefutu and became a centurion.

They would send some clothes, food or money from time to time, and would come back to visit if they had time.

So this place is not just taken care of by me alone.”

Ye Ye looked at the children playing and laughing outside the window and couldn't help but smile.

Xu Ming nodded without saying anything and just drank his tea quietly.

"Sister Ye Ye, I'm back."

After a while, a man's voice familiar to both of them was heard in the courtyard.

Ye Ye and Xu Ming walked out together.

When Li Han saw Sister Ye Ye, especially Xu Ming standing next to Sister Ye Ye, his eyes lit up: "Brother Ming! Why are you here!"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "I just returned to Wudu yesterday. Why don't you welcome me to see you?"

"How could it be!" Li Han quickly put down the things in his hands, walked forward happily, and pinched Xu Ming's arms and shoulders, "Ming brother, you are getting stronger. Although I have been in the military camp, I feel very proud to see you appear on the Qingyun list all the time!"

"The Qingyun List is nothing. My ranking is just a trick." Xu Ming said.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Ye Ye, I forgot to introduce you. This is my good brother - Xu Ming, the one I have always mentioned to you, Sister Ye Ye." Li Han said with a smile.

"I know." Ye Ye nodded with a smile, "Mr. Xu has already introduced it."

"Then you two can catch up slowly. I'll go make dinner. If you don't mind, Mr. Xu, please stay for dinner." Ye Ye tried to persuade him to stay.

"Then I won't be polite. Thank you for troubling Sister Ye." Xu Ming bowed.

"No trouble."

Ye Ye bowed and walked into the kitchen.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Xu Ming suggested, and at the same time he also wanted to ask about Ye Ye.

"Of course, let's go get some wine." Li Han said with a smile, "But Ming brother, wait a moment, I'll give these things to the children first."

Xu Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll help you too."

Li Han did not refuse, and the two of them distributed the things Li Han bought in the yard.

Some older children would also come over to help distribute the gifts.

Most of the children in the courtyard are very sensible. The older ones take care of the younger ones, and the younger ones take care of the younger ones. Everyone is doing what they can.

After the distribution, Li Han followed Xu Ming out for a walk.

Two people were just walking casually on both sides of the street.

It was evening, and the streets and alleys were still open. There were street vendors everywhere, as well as acrobats, cheering people, and prostitutes welcoming customers.

There was even the voice of a storyteller coming from the teahouse, telling the stories that had spread about Xu Ming's travels abroad over the past year.

To be honest, I didn't bring a camera with me when I traveled, so even if there were some rumors, they shouldn't know it so clearly. It should be three-tenths true and seven-tenths false.

But what the storyteller said was "seven parts true and three parts false".

Xu Ming felt that if he guessed correctly, these deeds of his must have been spread deliberately by Emperor Wu in order to build momentum for himself.

"Hearing the rumors about you, Brother Ming, these days, we old brothers feel proud." Li Han said to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Why do you say we are old brothers? You are just 20 years old."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Li Han chuckled: "We have known each other for so many years, aren't we old brothers?"

Xu Ming nodded: "Indeed, that's right."

Xu Ming put his hands behind his back and asked: "How have you been doing these years?"

Li Han thought for a while and said, "What else can we do? It's just like that. We in the Xuefutu profession are people who put our heads on the line and do all kinds of missions, but some of us have become centurions, while many of our peers are just privates.

We have always believed that it was thanks to you and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As he spoke, Li Han's eyes flashed with memories: "Who could have imagined that one of the companions who fought with us at that time was the princess of the current dynasty, and the other was the future number one scholar, the second on the Qingyun list, and the prince consort of the Wu Kingdom."

"Don't talk nonsense. It's too early to say the words 'Prince Consort of Wu State'." Xu Ming said quickly.

Li Han smiled and said, "It's not too early, it's not too early, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess are both of marriageable age, how can it be said to be too early? Besides, in our opinion, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess are really a perfect match.

Not to mention that you have all experienced life and death together, you know the character of Her Royal Highness the Princess very well, and the Princess knows you the same way.

If you two are not together, you really can't get along."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "You are still blaming me, what about you? You are already twenty, and you are still not married? Xuefutu is a place where you may not know the future, and didn't you always complain about leaving an heir? Aren't you afraid of not having one?"

"Hehehe" Li Han scratched the back of his head, "I do want to, but she doesn't want me to."

Xu Ming looked at Li Han's simple smile and had a guess in his mind: "The person you like is Ye Ye."

Li Han was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through so quickly. However, Li Han did not hide it but nodded.

Xu Ming: “.”

"What's wrong? I always feel like you have some opinion about Sister Ye Ye?" Li Han asked Xu Ming. Xu Ming's expression was a little complicated.

"What can I say?" Xu Ming smiled and shook his head. "I also think that Sister Ye Ye is a good girl and is very suitable for you."

"What truth are you talking about?" Li Han punched Xu Ming and wiped his nose. "Then I'll buy you a drink when we're done."

Xu Ming smiled and nodded: "Okay."

In the end, Xu Ming did not tell Li Han that Ye Ye was a monster.

Feeling that the time was about up, Xu Ming and Li Han returned to the courtyard.

The meal is almost ready.

They are all ordinary home-cooked dishes.

The children ate two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable, and a meat soup. The food was not bad.

However, in order to entertain Xu Ming, Ye Ye prepared a table of dishes specifically for Xu Ming and Li Han.

The children in the yard saw that Xu Ming ate better than themselves, but they didn't say anything. They all felt that guests should eat better, which was their due, and this person was Brother Li's good friend.

After dinner, Xu Ming reminisced with Li Han.

As night fell, Xu Ming felt it was about time, so he said goodbye and left. Li Han walked him for two blocks before leaving.

"Sister Ye Ye, let me help you clean up."

After Li Han returned to the courtyard, he walked into the kitchen and washed the dishes with Ye Ye.

"Mr. Xu has gone back?" Ye Ye asked.

"Yeah." Li Han said with a smile, "I originally thought that Ming Ge'er had become a deity and would not pay attention to me. I was also worried that his temperament might have changed. It turned out that I was overthinking. Ming Ge'er is still the same as before."

Ye Ye nodded: "Mr. Xu is indeed a friend worth making close friends with."

"Isn't it?" Li Han said proudly, "We are brothers who have been through life and death together."

Ye Ye just nodded, and then washed the dishes silently. After a long time, Ye Ye said, "Didn't Mr. Xu say anything to you?"

Li Han looked at Ye Ye curiously: "What did you say?"

Ye Ye shook his head: "Nothing."

Ye Ye didn't say anything, and Li Han didn't ask any more questions.

In Li Han's opinion, Sister Ye Ye used to be like this, always having things she wanted to say but didn't.

As the night deepened, the children went back to their rooms to rest. Li Han also went back to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep. Li Han and Xu Ming made an appointment to get up early in the morning to visit the other brothers tomorrow.

After taking a bath, Ye Ye did not go back to his room to sleep, but just sat quietly in the yard, as if waiting for someone.

As a breeze blew by.

Ye Ye tucked the long hair behind her ears and said slowly: "I know you will come again."

Ye Ye turned around and bowed.

The long sword in Xu Ming's hand pointed at Ye Ye's throat, shining with moonlight.

[It’s time to get off work, it’s time to get off work.

Today was supposed to be the last day of work for this week, but I ended up working overtime until 8 o'clock, and it was already past 9 o'clock when I got back.

I finally finished writing this one and will go out for dinner with my friends later.

I am really tired, so I may not have checked the typos in this chapter very carefully. Please point them out to me, and I will correct them as soon as I get back. ](End of this chapter)
