Chapter 167

"Father, what should we do? Are we really..." Ye Wei's face was heavy, and his heart was even heavier. It was like pressing a huge stone, and he was almost out of breath. He would rather face a hundred strong wind invaders alone at this time than endure this spiritual suffering.

In ancient times, in order to seek temporary peace between the two countries, there were countless precedents of marrying the daughter of a prince, especially the daughter of a general. But the Ye family is different. The Ye family has been loyal and brave for their country for generations and killed countless Dafeng people to defend their homes. They hate Dafeng people most. It can even be said that the main purpose of his Ye family is to resist the gale country. If the daughter of the Ye family is forced to marry the crown prince of Dafeng country... What an unacceptable blow and irony to the Ye family!

Moreover, his family will never be bullied by anyone. Although ye Shuiyao's years of autism have quietly weakened their father daughter relationship, after all, she is his only daughter, connected by flesh and blood. How can she bear to watch her marry into dafengguo.

After returning from the dinner last night, ye Wei stayed up all night. Now he looks exhausted. He gave Ye Nu a complete account of what Fengling said at yesterday's dinner, from Fenglie's ambition, the changes in kuishui country, to the current situation in Dafeng country, and the conditions he put forward. Ye Nu was shocked at the beginning, but he occasionally said a few words. Later, he didn't say a word and listened silently. When ye Wei finished everything, ye Nu's body was as stiff as a stone. He sat there quietly and said nothing.

"Father, what should we do?" He asked again. Looking at his father who seemed to suddenly become old, ye Wei knew that his heart must be as heavy as his own.

"If you ask like this, it shows that you have a tendency choice in your heart, but you can't say it, and you can't face it, so you want to hear me say it." Ye Nu spoke slowly, his old voice was flat and weak, and there was a little hoarseness.

Ye Wei jumped in his heart and hurriedly said, "but father..."

"Stop trying to resist." Ye Nu raised his hand to interrupt his voice, closed his old eyes and said in a low voice, "you are 40 years old. You are no longer a young man. You have passed the age of indecision and impatience. Although this abandonment makes us painful, is it worth it... Is it really so difficult to weigh? "

Ye Wei was stunned for a while, sighed, and sat down powerlessly on the chair opposite Ye nu.

"There will be a war between Tianlong and Dafeng sooner or later, but it should not be now. A man who had been prepared for twenty years was ready to attack on a large scale in a time no one thought of. One has gradually lost his vigilance in 20 years of peace, and at this time he is completely unprepared... Even, kuishui country may have been attached to the strong wind. If the war starts at this time, how much hope will Tianlong win? What is the hope of survival? "

Ye Wei: "

"Five years... These five years are enough to rewrite the fate of our Tianlong Kingdom... Wei'er, I filled you with military knowledge since childhood, and personally taught you how to arrange troops and calculate the enemy. Every time, I would let you go to the battlefield regardless of your mother's opposition. Why?"

"It is to protect the Tianlong Kingdom and the glory of our Ye family... Without the Tianlong Kingdom, there would be no Ye family. You can't let those fierce wolves step on and take an inch of land from our Tianlong country. " Ye Wei read clearly. Similarly, when he was very young, his grandfather told him, and his father told him that he could not forget and did not dare to forget.

"That's right... If the Tianlong kingdom is destroyed in the Ye family's generation, the efforts and unwavering faith of the Ye family from generation to generation will come to naught. The Ye family will turn into the dust of history, and we will also become the Tianlong Kingdom and the sinners of the Ye family. In the future, how can we have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors who have been watching us under the nine springs... It will not be born in exchange for one's life. Is it worth it? " Ye Nu's hands tightly grasped the left and right armrests of the chair, and his fingers almost fell into it. At first glance, what ye Wei said, the hatred and pain in his heart are by no means less than that of Ye Wei, but after all, he is an old man. He has gone through too many ups and downs, experienced too many storms, and has already passed the age of impulse. In this obvious choice of advantages and disadvantages, he knew what choice his Ye family should make from the beginning.

"Worth... Get..." Ye Wei held his head and squeezed out two words from his teeth.

I don't know how many years he hasn't cared about and greeted his daughter. Maybe if it takes longer, he will even forget the existence of his daughter. How can he open his mouth to ye Shuiyao.

"I know that you, a father, can't say something. Let me, a grandfather, say it. Yao'er's temperament... Alas. "

Ye Nu stood up and walked out with heavy steps. Ye Wei looked at his lonely old back, and his nose was sour. He knew that the pain in his father's heart would not be less than him. At the beginning, the disappearance of his only son of the Ye family once made the old man stand in the cold wind for two days and nights, like a stone carving. Although he is usually serious and old-fashioned, his concern for his children has always been deeply hidden in his heart, no less than anyone. At this time... He wants to persuade a person with the blood of the Ye family to leave the Ye family forever and marry to Dafeng country... What he bears at this time should be the feeling of cutting his heart.

Ye Shuiyao's courtyard is as elegant as usual, especially quiet. There is no shadow of any servant girl in the courtyard. Ye Nu stood at the entrance of the yard for a long time. Then he took a light step and went in“ Who? " Ye Shuiyao, who was depicting a white lotus, heard the footsteps, his eyebrows were light and broken, didn't look up, and asked coldly. Ye Nu, who had come to the door, gave a footstep, and then gently pushed open the door. A faint fragrance of her daughter blew in front of him, and the simple layout of the room also appeared in front of him. The only feeling brought to him was strangeness. He has forgotten when he last came to his granddaughter's study. Anyway, a long time ago. Ye Shuiyao finally raised her head. Seeing that it was Ye Nu, she stood up slightly stunned and calmly shouted, "Grandpa." Ye Nu nodded, walked in slowly, and looked at every corner here: "Yao'er, although she lives in the same home every day, Grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time. It's grandpa's fault." Ye Shuiyao poured a cup of tea and put it on the long table closest to Ye Nu, "Grandpa, sit down." She is still so cold, even in the face of her grandfather, her expression is still habitually stiff, and she can hardly see the beating of color. Ye Nu has always wondered what makes her so in the family atmosphere of Ye family. Ye angrily shook his head and signaled that he didn't have to sit down. He opened his mouth, but he wanted to stop talking. Instead, he said, "Yao'er, can you tell Grandpa what you usually do here? After staying in the room for a long time, you should often go out and walk around."“ Read and paint. " Ye Shuiyao's concise answer. In the past, she painted to express her feelings. Now, it is also to express her feelings. However, the essence of "feeling" has changed fundamentally and turned to a dangerous direction“ oh Painting? " Ye Nu's eyes looked at the thick drawing paper covered with the desk, smiled and said, "can you let Grandpa see your painting? It must be exquisite. In those years, your grandmother also liked painting, but I didn't appreciate it when she was alive. Until she returned, I can only look at her painting to recall her life." Ye Shuiyao didn't nod, his face was obviously unnatural. In the past, she had no reason to refuse, but now she doesn't want anyone except ye Wuchen to see her painting at this time. No matter how hard she tried to contain and warn herself, she still gave the meaning of struggling to torture her in the depths of her heart. Ye Nu could not see that she had some scruples. At that moment, he said, "forget it. Grandpa is a rude man and can't reward such elegant things. Now that I'm old again, it's impossible to understand the interest in the painting. " He turned and picked up the tea cup that ye Shuiyao had placed on the table, took a sip, narrowed his old eyes and tasted carefully: "Grandpa... I haven't drunk the tea you poured yourself for many years." In his heart, there was a painful voice echoing: maybe he would never drink again... He drank the tea heavily and washed his hesitant heart. Ye Nu's martial arts are not high, not as good as ye Wuchen at the moment, but countless people died directly and indirectly in his hands. This is an iron clank man who is still stained with blood and is not afraid of ten thousand soldiers. In his life, it can be said that he has never been ashamed of anyone... But in the year of white, he must be ashamed of his relatives. After warm tea, ye Nu took a long sigh of relief, put down the tea cup, and his heart began to calm slowly. He didn't forget why he came here. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't hesitate any more. Ye Shuiyao stood there motionless, old and young suddenly cold. The sudden arrival of Ye Nu and his obviously strange reaction let ye Shuiyao know that he must have something to say. She didn't take the initiative to ask and waited silently. When he said it, all she had to do was simply promise or not“ Yao'er, how old are you this year? "“ 19. " Ye Shuiyao replied. Ye angrily shook his head and smiled at himself. "I'm a grandfather, but I can't even remember the age of my granddaughter... Oh, by the way, you're two years older than chen'er. Chen'er is 17 years old. You're really 19 years old. That's right." He suddenly sighed and said, "19 years old. It's already the age of marriage. Yao'er, are you interested in someone? " Ye Shuiyao almost never goes out. How can she be interested in people. When ye Nu asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart. But to his surprise, with ye Shuiyao's character, he didn't say "no" coldly, but... A touch of sadness and confusion flashed on his cold and gorgeous face, and his eyes were wandering without focus for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No."{ Thank you for your support.
