Chapter 161 Make up your mind
Uncle Ye naturally believed in Ye Qiongying.
Not to mention the distant past, wasn’t Yang Xiaotao already conquered by the girl today?
Otherwise, given the little girl's unruly nature, she would never agree to be a bodyguard.
Although the remaining people have other ideas, they have no plans to rebel against the Ye family for now, so the girl can slowly conquer them one by one.
As for other things, let him work with Hong Xiu and the others to help the girl check.
"Things in Pingwu City are almost ready," Ye Qiongying sighed, "but in the capital, we still don't know what's going on... There's still no concrete news. This isn't good... Could it be that... Your Majesty didn't believe the news that Eunuch Liang brought back?"
Uncle Ye also didn't know what the current emperor was planning.
After all, according to the news in the capital, everything is normal.
Eunuch Liang and his companions had already returned safely to the palace.
Judging from Eunuch Liang's performance along the way, it is impossible that he knew the importance of these matters and yet kept it secret from Your Majesty.
In all likelihood, the letter was brought there.
But why is there no response?
Ye Qiongying made up her mind:
"The weather is getting colder and colder. Every winter, Dongchen will invade the border. Time is running out.
Moreover, this year there is also a country called Xili whose details are unknown. What if they unite...
No. The next time I come back from my holiday, if I still haven't received a reply from the palace, I will go straight to General Pang!
Although it is not as convincing as the decree from His Majesty, and it may cause the generals to misunderstand my intentions, but since it concerns the safety of Pingwu City, even if they don't completely believe it, they will always be a little wary, right?"
"Okay," Uncle Ye did not object to her decision, but said, "Didn't you just send people to Dongchen and Xili to get information? It just so happens that by the time you take your next day off, there should be news here. If there is some evidence, it will be easier to convince General Pang and the others."
Ye Qiongying breathed a sigh of relief:
"I hope so. I will be returning to the camp tomorrow, and I will have to trouble you with these matters again.
By the way, about Yang Xiaotao... I plan to bring her into the camp later. With her skills, if she is trained well, it will surely have miraculous effects.
It's just that her personality... needs to be honed.
You don't need to force her to change too much, but you need to let her understand that she needs to consider various factors before doing anything. In the military camp, it is different from the outside world, so she can't be so reckless. "
When Uncle Ye heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
Although he had criticized Yang Xiaotao before, it was also out of protection for Ye Qiongying.
To say that I really hate Yang Xiaotao, I wouldn’t say that.
In his eyes, that girl is still a child.
"That's right," said Uncle Ye. "Miss, you are entering the military camp as a woman. Although you have the support of the Ye family and His Majesty, it is still not so convenient sometimes. When an exception appears, it is easy for people to resist and isolate you. Yang Xiaotao is very suitable to follow you. If it is convenient in the future, you'd better take in some more suitable women. Only when you become a group, your existence will not be so conspicuous and special. It will also be more convenient to act."
After the two talked for a while, they went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
After being busy all day and fighting with Yang Xiaotao at night, Ye Qiongying fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
However, he didn't know that in the seemingly quiet room next to him, An Yu was not actually lying on the bed at this time.
He should have taken the tranquilizer prepared by Uncle Ye and fallen into a deep sleep, but he didn't know when he woke up. Now he was sitting at the desk, but there was no light on.
With the faint light coming in from the window, one can see a scroll spread out on the desk in front of him, with some words faintly written on it, and the only thing missing is the final seal.
An Yu propped up her face with one hand, sitting at the table with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep, and she hadn't moved...
"Oh oh oh!"
The sound of a rooster crowing from somewhere woke up Ye Qiongying who was sleeping soundly.
She quickly got up, washed, changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
I haven't slept so soundly in a long time.
Ye Qiongying stretched her body and walked to the front hall. Uncle Ye hadn't gotten up yet. It seemed that he had slept too late last night and had a rare sleep in today.
There was no movement from An Yu's side, but Ye Qiongying didn't find it strange. She just thought that the tranquilizer Uncle Ye gave her yesterday was too effective.
The two cooks got up early and made preparations.
Ye Qiongying finished her breakfast alone, and told them to tell Uncle Ye that she had left after he got up. Then she took her things and left the yard, heading for the guards' barracks.
The sky gradually brightened.
About half an hour after Ye Qiongying left, Uncle Ye, who hadn't slept in for a long time, also got up.
After he had his breakfast, he also went out and told the two servants not to wake An Yu up and let him continue sleeping.
Uncle Ye came back at lunch time and brought back a whole roast duck.
At this moment, An Yu had already gotten up, ran around, and was sitting under the eaves sulking.
Seeing Uncle Ye coming back, An Yucai said:
"When did my sister leave? Why didn't she call me?"
Uncle Ye looked at him with amusement.
Obviously, An Yu is a few years older than Yang Xiaotao, so why does this boy sometimes look more childish than that girl?
"The girl left early, and I hadn't even gotten up yet," said Uncle Ye. "She must have seen that we were too tired, and wanted us to sleep a little longer, so she didn't wake us up. What? Are you still angry?"
An Yu snorted:
"I'm not that petty! My sister is just caring about me, how could I be angry? Don't even think about saying bad things about me in front of my sister!"
"Okay, okay, it's me who is too narrow-minded!" Uncle Ye laughed. "Let's go. I brought back some roast duck. Let's have some. This duck is not easy to buy. I had to queue up for a long time in advance to buy it."
An Yu stood up and naturally took the things in Uncle Ye's hand, and said with disgust:
"You are already old, why are you still queuing? Don't you know how to ask the servants at home to do this kind of thing? You really think you are young!"
Although his expression was not very pleasant, his tone clearly showed that he was worried about Uncle Ye's health.
Uncle Ye has known this kid for such a long time that he has figured out his temper. He is not a bad person, but he doesn't like to talk like a human being. He always wants to make people angry to death.
He is only softer in front of girls.
The two of them ate a delicious roast duck and rested for some time. Then Uncle Ye seemed to remember that he had something to do, so he asked An Yu to exercise at home by himself while he went out.
He had just left and An Yu was about to go out.
The servants in the courtyard hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Young Master An Yu, where are you going? How about I go with you?"
An Yu looked impatient:
"No need! I'm just walking around. I'm not a child, how can I get lost?"
"This... If the young lady knew that you went out alone, she would definitely blame you," the servant quickly mentioned Ye Qiongying, "If something happened to you, the young lady would be worried even if she was in the barracks. If you got distracted by thinking about these things during training and got injured... You would also feel uneasy, young master."
An Yu glared and almost laughed out of anger, but he wanted Ye Qiongying, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, just follow me! Why are you talking so much?"
