Chapter 128 Wuhu!

The Taoist priest was picked up by Ye Jinshu's mother and brought back to the general's mansion. In the general's mansion, Ye Jinshu also met another general, who was her father.

She had always thought that her parents had fought together on the battlefield, but that turned out not to be the case.

Her mother's official position seemed to be higher than her father's. Every time her mother addressed her father by his official position, her father would lower his head and accept the punishment.

However, these two people did not often stay in the general's mansion. The war on the border was tense, and most of the time they were guarding the front line with the soldiers. The little Taoist priest often only stayed in the mansion with the servants of the general's mansion.

Therefore, Ye Jinshu, who could only follow the little Taoist priest, could not see what her parents were doing outside when they were not at the general's mansion. She could only wait with the little Taoist priest and live together in the general's mansion.

Although it is a general's mansion, it is not much better than ordinary people's homes. If you have to say, it is just that he can eat two meals a day, which is one more meal than other people.

Oftentimes, if the two generals finally had some free time, they would personally bring food from the general's mansion to distribute to the common people. Ye Jinshu saw with his own eyes that the food his parents ate was even worse than what the common people outside ate.

"After we beat them back this time, we should be able to live in peace for a few days."

"We haven't been back to visit the two elders for a long time."

At this time, the young Taoist priest also spoke: "Two generals, a letter came from the imperial city a few days ago."

Ye Jinshu moved closer to the letter and found that he could actually see the contents of the letter clearly.

There were two letters in total, one from the Queen and one from the Emperor.

At this time, the emperor and empress's words were still filled with childish emotions, and even Ye Jinshu could see the attachment in the letters.

Afterwards, they set off back to Beijing. When they returned, Ye Jinshu's parents took the little Taoist priest with them, under the pretext of letting him see the country guarded by the soldiers.

The young Taoist priest's expression did not look very happy at first. After all, he had walked past the foot of the imperial city and had witnessed with his own eyes how people's lives changed from stable to chaotic. Now looking back, he did not think there was anything good to see.

But he was wrong.

Following the two generals, he indeed saw a different scenery and saw the mountains, rivers and people they protected.

At that time, the young Taoist priest was thinking, it is clearly the same road, why does it change so much when different people walk on it?

The refugees who wanted to snatch all his clothes and gold and silver in front of him, showed gratitude when they saw the two generals' troops, and even took the initiative to offer their limited food.

By the way, the little Taoist priest also found his Taoist robe among the things that the refugees gave to the general.

His originally brand new uniform was now wrinkled, which really pissed him off.

It was at this time that Ye Jinshu's father discovered the little Taoist priest who was sulking over the clothes. He couldn't help but reach out and patted him on the shoulder, smiling brightly: "What's wrong, little one? Do you like this dress?"

The young Taoist priest felt very uncomfortable: "These were originally my clothes."

Hearing this, the Taoist priest paused, as if realizing something.

"Don't be sad. If you like this style of clothing, I will buy it for you when we get to the Imperial City!"

As soon as these impressive words fell, a loud female voice came from the side: "Okay! Ye Lao Er! You hid your private money behind my back!"

"Madam, I don't have it!" The two of them were arguing with each other, and the young Taoist priest looked at the two people in front of him, suddenly laughed, and was no longer obsessed with the clothes he wore when he went down the mountain.

Later, when they arrived at the imperial city, Ye Jinshu saw that his father had fulfilled his promise and bought a Taoist robe for the little Taoist priest. That robe was the same one that he had seen the Taoist priest wearing in the restaurant just now.

Life in the imperial city was countless times better than at the border, but the war was not truly over, so the two generals could not stay long.

When they set out again, the famous general of the escort flag was already pregnant. In order to let the child's father see the birth of the child with his own eyes, the Ye family asked the eldest son of the Ye family to fight first on his behalf, so that he had time to wait in the imperial city and watch his child being born.

Three months after Ye Jinshu was born, news spread from the border that the head of the Ye family had died in the battle, and Ye Jinshu's parents set off again.

The young Taoist priest still followed the two of them, but this time, he seemed to be hesitant to speak when they set off.

Not long after returning to the front line this time, the fighting situation began to become extremely brutal. Every day, familiar faces left and new people joined, as if they wanted to build the country's gate with blood.

Then one day, Ye Jinshu saw his father bringing back a babbling child.

"Madam, this is Lieutenant General Zhang's daughter. After he died in battle, his wife couldn't accept it and passed away yesterday. Before Lieutenant General Zhang left, he asked me to help take care of his daughter. Can we raise her under our name?"

"Can."

"Can't!"

The young Taoist priest had been in the general's mansion for so many years, but had never been so excited. The two looked at each other and asked the young Taoist priest why.

The young Taoist priest seemed unwilling to say anything, but he also knew that if he didn't say it, he would not be able to stop the two people in front of him from adopting the girl. He gritted his teeth, revealed his identity, and then explained why they could not adopt.

“This girl will become a person from another world in the future, and her body will be possessed by a soul from another world. This girl will become a mortal enemy of the two generals’ daughters. Your entire clan will die in the battle, and your only remaining daughter will also be killed by this soul from another world.

The young Taoist priest never thought of himself as a sentimental person, but when he said this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

He didn't understand. There were so many evil people in the world, why did they have to let two such good people suffer such hardship, and even their children would not be spared.

Ye Jinshu's parents didn't believe everything the little Taoist said at first, but they didn't believe it at all either.

It was not until the young Taoist priest predicted the number of deaths in the war correctly for three consecutive days that the two men had to re-examine what the young Taoist priest said.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Jinshu's parents finally decided to take the deputy general's child under their own name, but only as a concubine's daughter. They would not raise the child in the Ye family, but somewhere else, so that she could be separated from their own daughter.

"This child is called Ruoyan. It was named by her father."

"Then let's just call her Ruoyan. After all, it's something left by her parents."

Later, Ye Ruoyan was sent to the farm and grew up without worries about food and clothing, while Ye Jinshu grew up under the care of the Ye family.

Until Ye Jinshu's parents and entire family died in the war, things began to develop into a pattern that Ye Jinshu was familiar with.

She saw that before her mother died, she wrote a letter to the queen in the palace.
