One or two hundred miles can’t be reached in a day or two. After all, their team is not just one or two people, but more than a thousand people. They are basically walking and have to escort supplies and vehicles. It is already very difficult to walk forty or fifty miles a day.

In fact, they walked for three days for one or two hundred miles, and it was not until the fourth day that they arrived at the foot of a county town called Zhongwu County.

Ye Shaobao returned from the north to the south, and Li Xin went north from the capital. The two of them had been sending people to contact each other. According to Ye Ming's message yesterday, he should have settled in this county today.

Li Xin sat on Mo Zhi's horse, looked up at the small county town with a city wall less than three meters high, and turned around and ordered: "Camp on the spot and rest for a day."

The hottest time was on the way. Even though these people were the elites among the imperial guards, they could not bear it. After hearing Li Xin's words, the thousand soldiers immediately cheered and went down happily to camp.

Li Xin and Ye Mao rode on horseback, each with twenty or thirty family generals heading towards the city gate of Zhongwu County.

Li Xin was wearing a light green robe, which was not very conspicuous, but the young master was wearing armor. The people from this small county town naturally did not dare to stop him and respectfully put the group in.

Moreover... there were suddenly so many soldiers stationed outside the city, and the fool knew that this group of people was quite famous.

Li Xin and others quickly entered the city and asked where the inn was previously agreed. After dozens of riders quickly arrived at the entrance of Tongfu Inn, the largest inn in Zhongwu County. Li Xin and Ye Mao dismounted, and dozens of family generals behind them also dismounted. Some were on guard, some came forward to help them hold the horses, and some followed behind them to protect their personal safety.

A general helped Li Xin open the inn's store. Li Xin and Ye Mao slowly walked into this inn, which was no longer considered small.

As soon as they walked in, the inn shopkeeper was already shocked.

A fat shopkeeper in his forties rolled and crawled to Li Xin, but did not salute Li Xin, but bowed to Ye Mao, who was covered with armor and bowed repeatedly: "This military master, I don't know what it is worth to visit the shop."

The young master had no expression on his face.

"Come and find my father."

The shopkeeper was stunned and said in surprise: "I don't know Jun's father..."

Li Xin, who was beside him, sighed helplessly and showed a gentle smile to the shopkeeper.

"He couldn't speak clearly. I said, store owner, did you live in an old man here yesterday? We have something to do with him."

"Old man..."

The fat shop owner thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Last night, two old and young people moved into the shop. The old man looked fifty or sixty years old and lived in the upper room of the shop he lived..."

Li Xin nodded and said calmly: "That's it, take us there."

The fat shopkeeper carefully glanced at the two people, then looked at the dozens of big men at his doorstep, not even asking about the purpose of coming, nodding repeatedly: "The villain will take the two officials here..."

As he said that, he hurriedly led the way. Li Xin and Ye Mao looked at each other and followed behind him.

The young master was slightly behind Li Xin and whispered: "Why did my father bring someone to him and come back from Zhenbei Army?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Soon, the fat shopkeeper took them to the door of a room, and he said tremblingly: "Two officials, that old man is inside."

After saying this, he ran away as if he had escaped.

The young master took a deep breath and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Father, the child and the uncle are seeing you coming."

There was no movement in the room. After a while, the door was slowly opened. The one who opened the door was a young man in black who looked over twenties. After he glanced at the two people, he lowered his head to Ye Mao and said, "Grand Young Master."

This young man is not very tall, much shorter than Ye Mao, with dark skin, but his eyes are very energetic and a sense of power all over his body. He is obviously a rare master.

Otherwise, Ye Ming would not have dared to come back from Jimenguan with him alone.

Ye Mao took a deep breath and whispered: "Father is inside?"

"The General is inside."

The young master breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with Li Xin.

This is the top upper room in this inn, with two rooms inside and outside. After Li Xin and Ye Mao entered the inner room, they saw an old man with gray hair and beard wearing only a coarse cloth dress and was sitting on the table drinking tea.

His face was full of ravines and wrinkles became deeper.

Even some old-fashioned spots could be seen on her face.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

Five years ago, he fought with Ye Ming and saw the two of them many times. At that time, although Senior Brother Ye had white hair, most of them were black hair and there were not many wrinkles on his face, but he hadn't seen him for only five years. Senior Brother Ye seemed to have become more than a teenager all of a sudden.

This senior brother Ye now looks like a peer of his age, who passed away a few months ago.

This is not surprising. After all, this Ye Shaobao has not liked martial arts since he was a child, and his body has always been much worse than his father Ye Sheng. Not to mention running around in the north over the years, another person is in charge of the overall situation in the north, so he will naturally get older faster.

Ye Ming's appearance touched Li Xin, an outsider, a big impact, let alone the young master's family. Ye Mao knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and choked, "Father..."

Li Xin took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed, "I've seen my senior brother."

Ye Ming took a deep breath, first helped Ye Mao up from the ground, then looked up at Li Xin, and a smile barely squeezed out on his face.

"You're here."

As he said that, he pointed to the chair in the room and slowly spoke: "Sit down and talk."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and sat down, but Ye Mao kept squatting beside his father, with tears on his face.

Ye Shaobao patted his son on the shoulder and asked, "How is your grandfather's funeral done?"

"All of them have been processed. The fourth uncle is now guarding the grave for his grandfather in his hometown of Ningling."

Ye Ming coughed, his face turned pale.

"I should have returned to Beijing with my fourth son on my birthday. I didn't expect that I would just hesitate, even if I was separated by heaven and man forever, I didn't even see the last time."

As he said that, his voice was a little hoarse.

"As the eldest son, I am very unfilial."

Li Xin opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Ye Mao, who was standing beside him, had already choked up and said, "Father, grandpa, he doesn't want you to return to Beijing, he is unwilling to accept your affairs..."

"You are also for our family..."

Because several months have passed, the sadness has faded a little, General Ye did not shed tears at this moment, but his voice is still sad.

"My father is gone, where is there a home?"

He sighed long.

"I know that he hopes that I will stay in Zhenbei Army for a few more years until you have enough ability to lead Zhenbei Army. However, if my father passed away, if I still turn a blind eye to the north and become my general, wouldn't I be worthy of being a son of man?"

As he said that, he patted Ye Mao's back and said slowly: "I will not come out this time when I go back to Ningling, and I will live in Ningling in the future."

"You... follow your uncle, watch and learn more."

Li Xin stood up from the chair and bent down deeply at Ye Ming.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry."

Ye Ming also stood up and stepped forward to support Li Xin.

A smile barely appeared on his face.

"The court can send you Chang'an to preside over the Zhenbei Army, I am very happy for my brother."

His face was sincere.
