Xu Fengchi didn't care about the looks of those people, and there was an unconcealed sincerity in his eyes.
Anyway, the whole capital knows that he and Ye Zheng are friends for life and death. In order to seek justice for the Ye family, he has devoted tremendous energy in the past few years.
Now that Ye Jingyan has finally entered the examination room, how could he not be filled with emotion?
Ye Jingyan felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Xu Fengchi raised his chin and said with a smile, "Your sister has been waiting for you for a while, go quickly!"
Ye Jingyan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said,
"The Ye family will never forget your great kindness."
Four years ago, he would never have thought that he would be where he is today.
Xu Fengchi laughed heartily. "How close are we to each other? Saying all this is too polite! If you really want to thank me, remember to treat me to a glass of good wine when the results are announced!"
I have already determined that Ye Jingyan can pass the exam.
Ye Jingyan nodded, "Definitely!"
After saying that, he turned and left, walking towards Ye Chutang.
The drizzle was falling, bringing a slight chill to Ye Jingyan's face, but he walked briskly.
"Sister!"
He came to the carriage, with a surprised smile on his handsome face.
"Why are you here when it's raining? Didn't you say you'd be waiting for me at home?"
As he spoke, he took the umbrella and held it up for Ye Chutang, with most of the umbrella still on Ye Chutang's side.
Ye Chutang handed over a handkerchief and said, "We have to come regardless of whether it rains or not. The exams have been tough for so many days. If we get caught in the rain, we'll definitely get sick again."
Ye Jingyan casually wiped away the water droplets on his head and shoulders, and smiled carelessly, "Although my body is not as strong as Afeng's, I am not this weak. At the very least, can't I just drink the medicine prescribed by my sister?"
Ye Chutang could tell that he was in a good mood after the exam and was even joking, so he laughed too.
"It's not difficult to prescribe a prescription, but Xiaowu will be heartbroken and cry again later."
As soon as the words were spoken, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
A cute little face, as white as jade, peeked out from it, waving at them with a smile.
—Sister! Third brother! Come home!
…
Ye Chutang didn't ask him how he did in the exam, but Xiaowu couldn't help but ask as soon as she got home.
"Third brother, was the test difficult?"
Ye Jingyan knew what she really wanted to ask, and rubbed her little head with a smile.
"It's not difficult."
Xiaowu's heart fell back into his stomach.
Since Third Brother said so, then it must be a sure thing!
She turned around and started thinking about going to Lanyue Tower for a good meal after the results were announced next month!
Ye Jingyan pondered for a moment, "I wonder what the situation is like in the southwest."
Ye Chutang knew that he was still thinking about Afeng, and pondered for a moment.
"Princess Qinyang and Xun Cheng should have arrived there already. They should send back news soon—"
Suddenly, Ye Chutang heard some noise outside the yard and went to the window and opened it.
A black hawk circled and then swooped down in front of her.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
"Xiaowu, bring some dried meat."
As he spoke, Ye Chutang untied the copper ring on the eagle's leg.
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the news coming back from the southwest. He immediately ran to the cabinet, skillfully took out the dried meat hidden inside, and piled it all on the windowsill. Then he opened his big round eyes full of expectation and looked up eagerly.
Ye Chutang: “…”
I'm afraid she isn't so skillful when she eats by herself.
But it wasn't just her. Ye Jingyan also took the initiative to come over and ask.
"Sister, what did the letter say?"
Ye Chutang opened it, scanned it quickly, and raised his eyebrows.
Seeing her expression, Ye Jingyan felt a little strange, "Sister?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyes, "Shui Xingqiu has been ordered by Tuoba Shan to be under house arrest."
"What?!"
Ye Jingyan and Xiao Wu were both stunned. They didn't expect to receive such news.
However, Ye Jingyan quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.
"So, Shui Xingqiu is in imminent danger, isn't he?"
The Shui family has a huge influence in Nanhu, and Shui Xingqiu is extremely skilled in the art of poison, so he is extremely powerful.
Now he is under house arrest... Tuoba Shan must be furious!
"If he hadn't instigated it, Tuoba Yu wouldn't have died, and the Nanhu wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss." Ye Chutang said, "It's already a great achievement that he managed to keep his life."
"Loss? Sister means..."
Ye Chutang raised the corners of his mouth. "The letter says that the defenders of Xicheng ambushed the Nanhu army at Pingshui Bay and dealt a heavy blow to them, nearly wiping them out. All those elite soldiers we had worked so hard to train were killed. More importantly, they also included several high-ranking generals, and they were connected to many powerful Nanhu families. They jointly wrote a letter, forcing Tuoba Shan to punish Shui Xingqiu."
"really?"
Ye Jingyan's heart began to beat rapidly.
"Then, then this battle..."
The name is about to come out.
Ye Chutang handed him the letter, "Xun Cheng said he also learned this from General Feng Cheng. They are now guarding Duzhou."
"Duzhou? That Xiacheng——"
Ye Jingyan reacted quickly, and his heart burst into surprise.
In this case, it can be basically confirmed that the battle of Pingshui Bay was the work of Afeng!
He is indeed still alive! In Kip City!
Ye Chutang nodded slightly, "Princess Qinyang and Xun Cheng are both quite knowledgeable about that area. They can be of great help if they go there."
Needless to say, Princess Qinyang had personally fought on the battlefield and killed enemies. Although she was a woman, she inherited King Yannan's ability to lead troops and fight.
As for Xun Cheng...
His origins are mysterious, but he is very powerful.
For example, the news that Shui Xingqiu was under house arrest did not come from Feng Cheng, but was heard by his subordinates.
At a time when the relationship between the two sides was so tense, he was able to obtain information from the other side across the border in the first place. This was not as simple as "having some connections".
Xiao Wu listened, looked left and right, and finally understood. He grabbed Ye Chutang's sleeve tightly and asked in a low voice with joy and nervousness, "Sister! It's Fourth Brother? It must be him! Right?"
Ye Chutang touched her little face and nodded gently. The nightmare that had worried him countless times finally broke and dissipated at this moment.
"yes."
She said every word,
"Your fourth brother is great." (End of this chapter)
