Chapter 210 Disrespectful
Yan Qingyao got up early, there was no snow these days, and the weather was not bad, so she went up to the city wall and stood at the previous position to look in the direction of Gaodu.

I can't tell what it feels like now, the farther away from Gaodu and the longer the time, the more blurred her impression of Gaodu and the people in Gaodu.It wasn't until she received the news that Prime Minister Zuo died in order to protect Emperor Taiping that she realized that she was really sad.But she couldn't show her emotions. After all, the person next to her was Ye Ji, a person she didn't even dare to trust completely.

Yan Qingyao sighed deeply, if she wanted to cry, but there was no way, she couldn't shed a single tear.She put her hand lightly on the city wall, absorbed all the coldness, and felt an unprecedented pleasure.In Yan Qingyao's eyes, the word father is a very helpless existence.My father always seemed to hope that she could do well in the harem, whether it was for Chu Shiyu or Ye Lanyi, even if she was a noble concubine, it didn't matter, what my father seemed to want was only her rising status to ensure the future towards.

At least that's what Yan Qingyao thought.

So now, her sadness is not a little bit more, but more complicated emotions, he can't explain clearly, he doesn't even know whether he should cry for it, sad and lonely, and she doesn't know how much she thinks about herself true emotions.

Yan Qingyao closed her eyes.

If he could go back to Gaodu... If he could go back before then, he might be able to ask his father why he treated her like that, as if he was not his own.But there was no chance, it was too late.

"What are you doing here?"

Yan Qingyao turned her head abruptly, and seeing that it was Ye Ji, she smiled softly and said, "It's nothing, I just came here to see the scenery. I like it here."

"Wearing so thin, what if you get sick again?" Ye Ji frowned slightly, "We will stay in Xinzhou for a long time, and it's the same when we come to see it."

Yan Qingyao nodded and said, "Listen to the general."

"You...about your father..." Ye Ji paused before saying, "I don't know how to comfort you."

Yan Qingyao said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. The general doesn't have to worry about me. He always has to take care of these things, so there is no need to comfort him."

"But after all, he is the one who gave birth to you and raised you..."

"General, we are now in Xinzhou. What I want to do, this place will not allow it, so the general doesn't have to worry about me, and don't bother about it. I believe my brother, he will give my father a perfect job." Funeral etiquette, send my father for the last time instead of me." Yan Qingyao said slowly.

Ye Ji nodded: "That's fine."

Yan Qingyao smiled and said, "Father will like this kind of scenery, too."

"Most definitely."

Wan Ze didn't find anyone in the house, so he guessed that the two of them should have gone up the tower, and sure enough, they saw them on the tower just about to come down.

Ye Ji beckoned, and Wan Ze ran to her side.

"Why are you so panicked, you can't wait until I go back?"

Wan Ze shook his head and said, "General, it's the prince. He sent someone to urge the general to return to Xiqi as soon as possible."

Ye Ji frowned slightly: "Didn't it be said in the letter that I would not go back for the time being? Who is here?"

"It's Zhou Yao next to the prince."

"He?" Ye Ji stepped down the steps, "It seems that my father is determined to ask me to go back, and even sent Zhou Yao here. Let's go and meet him."

Zhou Yao is the general next to King Xiao Feng, he is older, and he is Ye Ji's first teacher in battle.Xiao Fengwang taught Ye Ji some theories, but Zhou Yao was the first person who dared to take Ye Ji to the battlefield. Ye Ji was deeply grateful to him, but later, Zhou Yao still stood by his father.In the end, she didn't know why, and she didn't understand, but Zhou Yao kept restraining her, which was exactly the same as what Xiao Fengwang did.

Ye Ji couldn't figure it out at first, but later she was relieved.In their eyes, many of Ye Ji's actions were wrong and inappropriate.They put Xi Qi first in everything, but they were different from Ye Ji in that they wanted to attach themselves to a strong back to ensure their own safety.Ye Ji disagreed with this.Later, Ye Ji gradually formed her own ideas and dared to confront them head-on, so now Ye Ji is not afraid of Zhou Yao at all.

Zhou Yao and Xiao Fengwang were not much different in age, and when they saw Ye Ji, they saluted respectfully.

Ye Ji asked Yan Qingyao to go back to her room, and didn't let Wan Ze follow her. When she saw Zhou Yao saluting, she returned the salute and said, "I already know the purpose of General Zhou's visit, but Ye Ji can't go back yet. I wasted my lips."

Zhou Yao said, "General, haven't you listened to the prince's orders?"

Ye Ji asked without answering, "Has General Zhou read the letter I sent back?"

Zhou Yao nodded: "I see."

"Then you will know what I mean. I have made up my mind, so please come back, General Zhou." Ye Ji sat down.

Zhou Yao shook his head and said, "General Ye, do you really want to believe that Nan Qing whose origin is unknown? She doesn't have any evidence to prove that she is the orphan of Emperor Nanhuan. How can you trust her so easily?"

"If there is no evidence, how dare I trust her so much?" Ye Ji said, "There are many things that cannot be explained in the letter. General Zhou, please don't think about it."

Zhou Yao also sat down, and said: "Even if she is really Nanqing, can he defeat those people in Gaodu? Now that there is civil strife in Gaodu, Emperor Taiping may not survive until tomorrow, and the six major cities occupy the imperial city." , Can she defeat the Six Great Cities just by relying on her? If a woman wants to do this, she simply doesn’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth.”

"General Zhou is cautious." Ye Ji said, "Nanqing is of royal blood anyway, so no one is allowed to fabricate it here. People in the six major cities may not be able to do anything to Emperor Taiping, and Emperor Taiping is not a man who is easy to deal with, so It's not as bad as you say."

"Are you trying to use Emperor Taiping to wipe out the six major cities?"

Ye Ji said: "General Zhou, the world is always changing. Does Emperor Taiping have won the hearts of the people? He lived in fear in Gaodu, and he may not be happy as emperor. Besides, he has to deal with the six major cities now. If you can't solve the problem, Nan Qing will naturally solve it with him, this is not something General Zhou should worry about."

"Are you going to take Xiqi into the water together?" Zhou Yao said sharply, "Xiqi is not a plaything, and I can't stand your troubles like this!"

"I didn't make a fuss!" Ye Ji said, "Xiqi can't always depend on others, and needs to find a new way out. One day, Xiqi will get a different result."

Zhou Yao shook her head: "Nonsense! Xiqi has been at peace all these years, so stop doing these unnecessary things and follow me back to Xiqi."

Ye Ji said: "Didn't my father ask me to come here at the time? Why, now that I listen to him and take Xinzhou down, he is not happy?"

"You! How can you say such a thing."

"General Zhou," Ye Ji said in a deep voice, "I have always respected you and your father's thoughts. I have never disobeyed you before what you want me to do, but are you really doing the right thing? Who is Xiqi relying on now? Huh? Gaodu is in chaos now, and the so-called Dayu is also shattered, precarious, can Xiqi be safe and sound in this situation? If you think about it carefully, you will know that it is impossible!"

Zhou Yao thought for a while and said, "No, no, it's still not good. You should go back with me first, we will discuss this matter in the long term."

"General Zhou," Ye Ji said, "the time is running out, you should have received the news from Gaodu, so now, General Zhou and my father can't do whatever they want, take a look, these things It's clear, why can't you trust me once?"

Zhou Yao still shook her head: "You are still young, you don't understand many things, and you can't make decisions, so..."

"General Zhou." Ye Ji shook her head, "You...do you still remember what you said to me before? The first time you took me to the battlefield, you told me that the battlefield is just like the world. It is necessary to look at the overall situation, break through properly, find another way to be willing to try, and not be afraid of failure, so that it is possible to win, not just to win by surprise. General Zhou...have you forgotten all these words?"

Zhou Yao froze for a moment.

Ye Ji continued: "It doesn't matter now, whether you remember these words or not, I just remember. Although I don't know exactly what happened and why you came to obstruct me like this, I still respect you in my heart." You, I don't want you to be my first enemy. So General Zhou, don't force me anymore."

Zhou Yao shook her head: "General Ye...it's not me forcing you, it's these things..."

"Needless to say." Ye Ji interrupted him, "General Zhou, just tell my father the exact words I said. Ye Ji will be disrespectful from now on, please forgive General Zhou and my father. I won't take anything Qi was just joking, so if you support me, I am naturally very happy, but if you disagree, please stay in Xiqi, protect the interior of Xiqi, and leave the rest to me."

"Ye Ji!"

"General Zhou, this is the end of the conversation, please go back."

Zhou Yao said, "You... don't regret it!"

Ye Ji said in a deep voice, "Ye Ji, I will never regret it."

Gu Zhao supervised Wei Xun to take medicine every day, and also helped him to exercise together. These days, Wei Xun has recovered very quickly, and now Wei Xun has no problem with holding a knife.Gu Zhao watched Wei Xun complete a set of saber techniques and threw the handkerchief over.

"Thank you." Wei Xun wiped his sweat.

Gu Zhao shook his head: "You're welcome."

Wei Xun sat down, just as the tea was ready to dry, he moistened his throat and said, "I didn't see you going to the city wall today, is it because the city defense has almost been arranged?"

Gu Zhao nodded and said, "It's almost done. But now, we still need to consider the repair of the school grounds. Although the place...although it is very good, the weather has not been very good recently, and we still have to wait for a while before it gets warmer."

"Actually, it's not too cold these days." Wei Xun said, "Call me when you go, I can still help."

Gu Zhao nodded: "That's natural."

"Wei Xun is recovering well."

Meng Weidao stepped into the yard and said loudly: "It seems that the raising is still effective."

"Master Meng." Wei Xun and Gu Zhao got up, bowed slightly and saluted.

Meng Weidao returned the salute and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. But it looks really good. If Nan Qing knows about it, she will be very happy."

When Wei Xun heard him mention Zhuo Ran, he frowned slightly and said, "Master Meng, has the girl sent a message recently?"

"No." Meng Weidao said, "I just heard that Lord Hou left Yongzhou and went to Beili. Nanqing is still in Yongzhou. That Nie Hanshan seems to have made some moves recently."

"Do you want to go back to Yongzhou?" Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Wei Xun shook his head: "No, I'm just a little worried about the girl."

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Changgou should be in Yongzhou, and he will take good care of Nanqing." Gu Zhao said, "We're going to take care of this place now, which is the way to make Nanqing feel at ease."

"Yes." Wei Xun nodded.

Meng Weidao said, "It's coming soon. Why don't I just write a letter and see how Nanqing is doing now."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Meng." Wei Xun nodded.

"By the way, I came here to let you go to the school grounds with me," Meng Weidao said, "I heard that the snow melting there is not bad, so I can go and see when the construction can start."

"it is good."

The servant rubbed Nie Hanshan's shoulders, his movements were very light, but it still hurt Nie Hanshan.

"Forget it, you go down first."

Nie Hanshan didn't get angry, and the boy bowed his head down.He was replaced by a girl with a slender figure and a gentle smile, with neither light nor heavy strength. Nie Hanshan closed his eyes comfortably.

"You still have good craftsmanship."

Nie Hanshan took two deep breaths and felt his whole body relax. He enjoyed it for a while before slowly opening his eyes.

"Just say what you have to say." Nie Hanshan said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable if you keep holding back?"

"Master, why did you hand over those people to Nanqing? Didn't the master say that these people are very important?"

Nie Hanshan smiled and said: "Yes, it is very important. For Nan Qing now, these few people are life-saving straws. In fact, the word helper should be more appropriate. Nanqing needs to understand Gaodu These few people are very important. But... I can't say for sure what will happen in the end. "

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Nie Hanshan said: "You don't understand many things. They seem to be useful to Nan Qing, but in fact they are not. Because Nan Qing knows that she is familiar with these people, she will naturally relax her guard. As long as she relaxes, Nanqing will definitely be... It's really too early to say this now."

"Could it be... that the boss wants to take this opportunity to kill Nanqing?"

Nie Hanshan looked at her slightly, and he raised the corner of his lips: "I didn't expect you to guess it? If this person hadn't threatened me, he wouldn't have come to this point."

"In my opinion, the big master doesn't need to do this. In fact, there is another way, which doesn't require the big master to do it himself..."

Nie Hanshan raised his eyebrows.
