The branches in the yard swayed in the wind, making a "whimpering" sound, which made people unable to help but feel sad.
At noon.
The sun is shining high and the sky is clear.
The Ye family decorated the yard with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome the Spring Festival.
Ye Wudi originally thought it was unnecessary, because after tonight, the first family in the capital might disappear completely.
But Mr. Ye insisted.
Mr. Ye said: "Even if I die, I have to have a reunion dinner before going on the road, and I will feel some festive joy when I leave."
However, everyone's hearts are still heavy.
In order to welcome the Spring Festival, Mr. Ye took the initiative to cook with his own hands and made several dishes.
One o'clock at noon.
Everyone had a reunion dinner together.
Ye Qiu returned to the room and made a call to Qian Jinglan, Lin Jinglian, Bai Bing, Qin Wan, Su Luoying, Qian Shanxue, and Xu Changjin who was far away in Korea.
Subsequently,
Ye Qiu brought some gifts and went to Bai's house to visit General Bai.
This year Bai Bing stayed in Jiangzhou for the New Year and did not return to Beijing. Bai Yujing and his son were far away overseas, which made the Bai family seem particularly deserted.
When Ye Qiu saw General Bai, he was wearing a gray-yellow military coat and sitting in the yard warming himself by the fire.
Two guards accompanied the old general.
"Xiaoye, today is a critical moment, how can you still have time to see this bad old man like me?"
"You shouldn't have come."
"You should prepare for war with all your heart."
Rumors about the decisive battle have already spread in the capital, and General Bai, as the only remaining founding father of the country, naturally knows everything about it.
"Old General, today is New Year's Eve and Sister Bing is not back. I came to see you on her behalf."
Ye Qiu asked with concern: "How is your old body doing lately?"
"My health has gotten much better since you last treated me." General Bai made a gesture, and the two guards behind him quickly left.
Then, General Bai put away the smile on his face and asked: "Xiaoye, are you sure about the decisive battle tonight?"
"No." Ye Qiu told him honestly.
General Bai's face changed: "Since you are not sure, why don't you run away?"
Ye Qiu said: "Some things have to be faced after all, and escaping is not an option."
General Bai praised: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, traveling to the tiger mountains is an act of bravery."
"Xiaobing did not misjudge you, you are indeed responsible."
"I hope you can survive tonight, I don't want Xiaobing to be a widow."
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "I will work hard."
General Bai added: "The Forbidden City has sent invitations to all the major families in the capital, asking them to attend the ceremony tonight. I will also go there tonight."
"I think for such a big event, everyone who receives an invitation will go."
"Xiaoye, I'm old and can't help you. You can only look at yourself tonight."
"You must survive!"
It was obvious that General Bai was very worried about Ye Qiu's safety.
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Old general, there is no need to worry, I will do my best."
"Yeah." Mr. Bai nodded slightly.
"I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. If you are lucky enough to survive tonight, I will take you to Jiangzhou later." Ye Qiu said, "Jiangzhou is a very nice place with mountains and lakes."
General Bai nodded: "Okay."
Ye Qiu stood up, walked a few steps, and suddenly looked back at General Bai and said, "Old General, if one day I kill Bai Yujing, you won't blame me, right?"
General Bai was silent for a moment and replied: "Xiaoye, you are a doctor, and what you do is to save lives and heal the wounded."
"I also know that you are not a murderous person."
"If you want to kill Bai Yujing, it only means that Bai Yujing has a reason to die."
"I don't blame you."
"With your words, I feel relieved." Ye Qiu strode away from Bai's house.
As soon as he left, the two guards returned to General Bai.
"Do you know what outrageous things Bai Yujing did?" General Bai asked.
The two guards shook their heads: "I don't know."
well!
General Bai sighed:
"Thinking about my military life, why did I give birth to such a wicked grandson? My family is so unfortunate! My family is so unfortunate!"
…
After Ye Qiu left the Bai family, he returned to the Ye family.
at dusk.
The originally sunny sky turned gloomy and shrouded in dark clouds.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The entire capital city fell into a depressing atmosphere, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
Half past six in the evening.
It's getting dark.
The Ye family set off.
Ye Dabao and her mother went out to see each other off.
"Dabao, if we can't come back, don't think about revenge and live well for the rest of your life." Mr. Ye said.
Ye Wuwei said: "Dabao, take good care of your mother."
Ye Qiu patted Ye Dabao's shoulder and said, "You'd better pray that I die tonight, otherwise, you will have to stay in the devil's training camp for a few more years."
Surprisingly, Ye Dabao smiled and said, "Brother, I believe you can come back alive."
Ye Qiu said: "If you can really come back alive, then I will find you a wife."
"Like the third aunt."
"You will suffer it when the time comes."
Ye Dabao's mouth twitched.
"Let's go!" Mr. Ye, wearing a woolen coat, walked at the front with a determined look on his face.
Ye Qiu, Ye Wuwei, Ye Wudi, and Dragon Girl followed closely behind.
Master Du'e, wearing a red cassock and holding a diamond staff, walked at the back.
Outside the door, three cars were waiting for a long time.
Before getting in the car.
Snowflakes suddenly appeared in the sky, which made the originally depressing atmosphere a bit more poignant.
Mr. Ye stretched out his hand, and a snowflake fell on his palm, and it melted in less than five seconds.
"Human life is like this snowflake. It looks beautiful, but it disappears quickly."
Mr. Ye sighed with emotion and asked: "Ye Qiu, why are we going here?"
Ye Qiu replied: "Kill Long Yi and destroy the Forbidden City."
"What if you never come back?" Mr. Ye asked again.
Ye Qiu said loudly: "Then leave and never come back!"
Mr. Ye laughed heartily: "Well said, he is worthy of being my grandson, Ye Zhengling."
"What joy is there in life, and what fear is there in death? A true man stands upright and does what he does and what he refrains from doing."
"Ye Qiu, get in my car, let's go to the Forbidden City."
At this moment, everyone got on the bus.
At this time, Ye Dabao and her mother knelt down at the gate of Ye's house.
"Grandpa, father, third uncle, brother——"
"You must come back!"
"Come back alive!"
Ye Dabao shouted at the top of his lungs. While shouting, he kowtowed as hard as he could.
Soon, blood started to flow from his forehead.
As for his mother, she cried silently as she stared at Ye Wuwei's car.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of two sentences in his mind: The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone.
"Set off!"
Mr. Ye gave the order and the car drove towards the Forbidden City!
