Ye Yunge suddenly brought up this matter, which made Ye Hongtu slightly stunned.

"Yun Ge, if you have any ideas, just tell us!"

"Hey, brother, we are father and son here, no need to keep it a secret."

Ye Yunwu was too lazy to think and asked directly.

Ye Yunge sorted out his thoughts and then spoke slowly:

"Father, on my way back to Yanjing City from the northern border, I passed by Liujiazhuang in Qinghe County."

"There, I met your old subordinate, Liu Chuan."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongtu's expression changed.

Liu Chuan, a captain whom he once respected very much, was not only skilled in martial arts, but also brave in battle and had made many military achievements.

He originally wanted to promote him to be a thousand-man captain, but in a subsequent battle, Liu Chuan accidentally fell ill and was unable to take off his armor and go home to recuperate.

Moreover, Da Zhou and Da Yan have been relatively restrained in recent times, and no large-scale fighting has occurred.

Therefore, in order to save military expenses, the Great Yan royal family also dismissed the older soldiers.

However, with Liu Chuan's achievements, he should be able to receive few rewards after retiring, and his life should be very difficult.

"How is he doing these days?"

A trace of reminiscence appeared on Ye Hongtu's face.

Ye Yunge shook his head.

“Very good!”

"With his military exploits, he should have received a small reward, but most of the money was embezzled by government officials."

"Later, he returned to the village to reclaim wasteland in order to take care of his parents and sister, but the wasteland he had reclaimed for more than two years was shamelessly annexed by the local gentry and bureaucrats."

"Now, even having enough food to eat has become a problem for their family."

Upon hearing the news, Ye Hongtu's face suddenly became terribly gloomy.

He never thought that his life-and-death brother, who had made great contributions to Da Yan, would be treated like this after taking off his armor.

"What nonsense! Those parasites are really going too far."

"How dare you bully my old brothers like this."

It can be imagined that what Liu Chuan experienced was definitely an isolated case.

If most of the soldiers who took off their armor encountered this kind of thing, how could he, as the commander, have a clear conscience?

"Yun Ge, since you mentioned them now, I'm sure you have a plan in mind."

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Hongtu said in a cold voice.

"Father, I have already made it clear that Emperor Yanwu will definitely not let our Ye family go."

"Although our Ye family can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border, in the final analysis, these troops belong to the Great Yan royal family."

"If Emperor Yanwu takes back the military power one day, we can start a rebellion directly, and the Ye family will really become a fish on the chopping board."

"So, we must cultivate our own strength in secret."

Ye Yunge expressed his thoughts.

"Yun Ge, have you ever thought that if you do this, my Ye family is plotting rebellion?"

"I'm afraid I'll be spurned by everyone in Da Yan by then."

Ye Hongtu's tone was extremely serious.

"Humph, if that dog emperor can do the first day, what can we do to get the tenth day?"

"Since he is determined to destroy my Ye family and destroy the bridge after crossing the river, fortunately he overthrew the entire Great Yan royal family and let my Ye family take the throne."

Ye Yunwu snorted coldly, his voice full of murderous intent.

Ye Hongtu didn't say anything, but paced around the room.

After a while, he said with a cold expression: "Yun Ge, arrange for someone to gather all the soldiers who have taken off their armor."

"Remember, you have to be very conscious."

"Their families also need to make arrangements."

Ye Yunge's face froze, and he quickly responded: "I obey your orders, sir. Where should we gather them?"

"There are many eyes and ears in Qingyi Building. We must gather them to a safe place, at least it is sparsely populated and difficult to be discovered."

When this question was raised, Ye Hongtu was silent for a while.

There were quite a few soldiers without armor, and it was definitely not easy to hide them perfectly.

At this time, Ye Yunwu suddenly suggested: "Father, brother, I know a good place!"

"Oh, where?"

Ye Hongtu and Ye Yunge looked towards him immediately.

Ye Yunwu liked to travel around the world, so he had naturally been to more places. If we talk about their understanding of Da Yan, they really knew more about it than he did.

"It's a thousand miles to the west, at Mang Mountain!"

"It's no problem to hide 100,000 people there."

"Besides, there is a primeval forest for more than a mile around Mang Mountain, full of ferocious beasts. If you don't have the strength of a martial arts master, going in will lead to your own death."

"However, those soldiers without armor are very good at killing and will definitely thrive wherever they go."

Ye Hongtu and Ye Yunge's eyes lit up when they heard this.

If this is true, then this Mangshan is indeed very suitable as a base.

"Okay, let's put our base in Mangshan!"

"The task of gathering them will be handed over to you, Yun Ge."

"I will send some experts over to train them properly."

"As for money, money is what our Ye family lacks the most."

.........

"Big brother, what do you think of Que'er's handwriting?"

A dozen miles northwest of Yanjing City, there is a remote resettlement place.

Feng Que'er and his grandfather were settled here.

Of course, in addition to them, Ye Yunge also arranged for many other widows, the elderly and the young to have enough food.

The reason for doing so was to allay the wariness of the grandfather and grandson, and to let them understand that the Ye family was indeed doing good things and had no bad intentions.

The Ye family also sent more than a dozen experts to secretly guard the resettlement center.

At this moment, Feng Que'er came to Ye Yunge, who was holding Ye Chuyao, with the written words, with a look of trepidation on her face.

Ye Yunge took the paper and looked at it: "It's not wrong, it's a big improvement!"

Ye Yunge praised with great enthusiasm.

"Grandpa, listen, my elder brother praised me!"

After receiving Ye Yunge's praise, Feng Que'er happily shouted to his grandfather in the distance.

The old man smiled slightly and looked at Ye Yunge with gratitude in his eyes.

Although they had only met briefly a few times, he was sure that this young man had no bad intentions and was truly kind and generous, helping them wholeheartedly.

[Wow, big brother is really gentle! ]

[Such a gentle person, but always looks like he wants to keep strangers away. I really don't understand. 】

[If he could smile more, there would probably be more girls in Yanjing who would like him.]

[Ah, bah, bah, big brother has a big sister-in-law who can match him, what nonsense am I talking about? 】

At this time, the old man came to Ye Yunge, hesitated for a long time, but did not say a word.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"If I can help, I will do my best."

Hearing this, the old man felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Master Ye, you are able to take us in. This is already a great blessing for us."

"I would like to trouble you again about this matter, but I think that after I die, Que'er will be all alone."

As he spoke, he took out a small wooden sculpture from his arms.

The wood carving is of a baby.

"This is the little doll that Que'er's elder brother sent back from afar after learning that Que'er was born."

"I know I can only hold on for a few days, so I'm handing this doll over to you, young master."

"If Que'er's elder brother comes to visit someday, I hope you can give this doll to him."

"Once he sees the doll, he will understand everything and will be grateful for your help to our grandson."

Ye Yunge took the small wooden sculpture.

He naturally understood that the old man was entrusting his orphan with something.

Because he had asked a doctor to examine the old man's body, he could live for at most half a month.

Now that the old man has passed away, the whereabouts of the bird has indeed become a problem.

Besides, the Great Yan Dynasty is so vast, the chances of Que'er's elder brother finding them are slim.

Under such circumstances, he still did this, most likely because he was afraid that Ye Yunge would find it troublesome and reject him, so he made up such an excuse.

However, this is definitely a good thing for Ye Yunge.

Originally, he was thinking, if he met Feng Tang in the future, how to dispel his vigilance and recruit him into his team.

But with this token, things will definitely become much simpler.

"Don't worry, old man. I will take good care of the bird."

"If her elder brother really comes, I will definitely let them recognize each other!"

........

Ye Yunge stayed in this resettlement center for about two hours, then secretly returned to the Ye family.

Not long after he got home, he heard the doorman come to report that Miss Xiang had come to visit in person.

[Ah? Did Sister Xiang come in person? ]

[Then I will definitely be able to see her true face this time. How can I know how pretty she is? ]

[Come on, brother, I came here mainly to thank him. ]

[Tsk, tsk, do you know how Brother 괗 will react when he sees Sister Xiang's true appearance? 】
