C8 Kindness

Ye Dong scratched his head and sat at the round table, pouring himself a cup of tea. As she drank, she looked at the arrangement of the room. Not long later, the maid opened the door with a steaming hot copper bowl and pushed it shut. Ye Dong was about to go get her when the servant girl opened her mouth and said, "General, this is what a servant should do. Please sit on the bed. A servant will help you wash your feet."

Obedient, this Huang Shiren's treatment has fallen on the head of this young master. Ye Dong waved his hand and said in a hurry, "No need. No need. You can go back and rest. I can wash my own feet. How can I let a little girl help me?"

Ye Dong's words were full of good intentions. Who knew that the maid refused to comply.

"General, what are you saying? Serving the general is your servant's good fortune, how can I let you do it yourself? Please sit down quickly, your servant will help you wash your feet!"

Ye Dong still wanted to refuse. The girl was about to cry. Ye Dong was afraid of that. So, he just sat on the edge of the bed. The maid saw that Ye Dong had compromised, so she smiled and put the water on the bed. She squatted down to take off Ye Dong's boots and said, "The general is a good man!"

"Oh!" "Oh, Xi Er, is there anyone else in your family?" Ye Dong had nothing to do, so he had to ask.

She said: "This servant is from Guangling, and was sent to the palace by my parents when I was seven years old. It has already been seven years since I returned home, and I still have two elder brothers, an elder sister, a younger brother, and a younger sister."

"Oh!" Did you miss home for so long? " Ye Dong asked.

Xi Er felt that Ye Dong's feet had gotten used to the water's temperature, so she put Ye Dong's feet into the water and replied, "Of course I want it badly, but first, the servant does not have time in the palace, and second, the road to Grand Dominance is very long. This servant has been away from home for seven years. General, the servant misses her parents." As he said that, he actually choked. A few drops of cold water fell on the soles of Ye Dong's feet. It made Ye Dong's heart tremble.

My smelly mouth, this nonsense is about eggs! Ye Dong cursed himself in his heart as he coaxed Xi Er, "Why are you crying? Don't cry. After a few days of marriage, I'll let you go home and visit your family, okay?"

Xi Er wiped her hand on her waist and dried it. She then wiped her face and rubbed Ye Dong's leg with her foot while lowering her head and forcing a smile, "General, look at this servant. Why is she crying? The servant thanked the general, but the servant must stay and serve the general. After so many years have passed, I wonder if they have moved yet again. Xi Er put Ye Dong's feet on her knees and wiped them dry with a piece of cotton cloth. She then put Ye Dong's feet on the bed and picked up the copper basin, and said to Ye Dong, "General, please rest. Tomorrow morning, the servant will come and call you to court. The servant will take her leave." With a pair of red circles around her eyes, Xi'er left the room.

Ye Dong was lying on his bed. He knew that there were so many miserable things in the world. He could only do it from his side. If he had free time in the future, he would bring Xi'er to Grand Dominance to find her parents and fulfill her wish.

The next morning, Xi Er woke Ye Dong up. She waited for him to dress and eat before sending him out of the room. She watched him leave and then went back to the house. It made Ye Dong's heart burn with excitement.

After entering the palace and entering the Hall of Announcements, other than Ye Dong's court officials who had paid their respects to the young emperor, there were a lot of things that happened under the imperial report. Now that the Turkic was chased away by Ye Dong, the world was peaceful again.

Seeing the helpless look on his brother-in-law's face, the little Emperor smiled and said to Ye Dong when he saw that one of the officials had just finished reporting, "Ye Dong, you are not familiar with this Hall of Announcement, and you are now a general of a supporting country, you are in charge of a huge army of a hundred thousand people. Otherwise, you don't have to go to the imperial court early in the morning, you can go to the loyal army camp to get used to it and then enter the palace after the wedding."

How could Ye Dong not be satisfied? He quickly left the Hall of Announcements, left the Imperial Palace, and jogged back to his own residence. He took out his own bright silver spear, and took out the horse, Liu Yun, that the little Emperor had sent over yesterday. Without taking anyone with him, he left the city, leaped onto his horse, and with a pat on the horse's butt, he charged towards Meng Jin like the wind.

Ye Dong was riding on the Flowing Cloud Horse at the speed of lightning. The wind was so strong that he almost couldn't open his eyes. The horse was running so fast, yet it had been crossing mountains and jumping rivers as if it was walking on flat land. Ye Dong sighed with emotion. This horse was truly extraordinary!

With a horse like Liu Yun, Ye Dong arrived at the loyal army camp in Meng Jin in less than an hour. When they arrived at the front of the camp, the two guards pointed their guns at Ye Dong and said: "Who are you, quickly tell me your name."

Ye Dong was prepared. He got off his horse and took out a gold plate from his pocket. He handed it to the two guards and said, "You two brothers, thank you for your hard work. I am the new general of the Zhongwu Army, Ye Dong. Can I trouble you two to let me pass?"

The two guards looked at the golden plate that Ye Dong had given them. It said, "Great General of the Great Dream Assistance Country leads a hundred thousand loyal men." They shuddered and knelt on the ground and said to Ye Dong in unison: "This lowly general has eyes but does not recognize Mount Tai. I have offended the general, so please punish me!"

How can this make me, if I don't kneel to the little emperor, how can others kneel to me! Ye Dong hurriedly helped the two men up and smiled, "Brothers, please get up. Since you two were defending the camp, how can I blame you? Then can I go in now?! "

The two guards stood up and called for the camp door on top of the city wall. They bowed and said, "General, after you!"

Ye Dong laughed and led his horse into the army camp. The two guards shouted and ordered the men on the wall to close the camp. It was so lively when he walked a few steps forward. Ye Dong felt like he was at the gate of a jade gate again. Yesterday's blizzard was nowhere to be seen in the Zhongwu military camp. Yellow dust was rolling all over the drill ground, and the shouts of battle could be heard incessantly. They saw the two groups of soldiers fighting fiercely with wooden weapons. Ye Dong was leading his horse as a team of soldiers passed by him from time to time. They didn't even glance at him, as if he was nothing more than a log.

Ye Dong was a highly educated man, so he was naturally satisfied with the situation. He was happy when people ignored him, but he was recognized after walking a little further.

Ye Dong was looking forward to the situation in the army camp. Suddenly, he heard a voice shouting, "General Ye Dong! It's General Ye Dong! Brothers! General Ye Dong is here!"

Ye Dong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a leader shouting to his soldiers to stop their training. Ye Dong led his horse and walked over to the leader, who hurriedly took the reins from Ye Dong. Ye Dong was young and recognized him as one of the five hundred men who had attacked him yesterday.

When "Ma Dai" saw Ye Dong's expression, he knew Ye Dong wanted to change his mind. He stood up and smiled, "General, don't think too much. This lowly one is the substitute for Ye Dong. He isn't the famous general from the three kingdoms, Ma Dai."

"Ugh!" Ye Dong nodded and pointed to the troop of a thousand soldiers. He asked, "Why aren't you training now? Don't worry about me, just continue with your training. I've just arrived, so I'll just take a look around. "

Ma Dai cupped his fist and said in a clear voice, "This lowly one shall obey. This lowly one shall not disturb the general." He turned his head and shouted at the thousand soldiers, "This is General Ye Dong, the general of Yamen who defeated the barbarians and sent the barbarians back. From today onwards, General Ye Dong will be in charge of one hundred thousand soldiers of our Zhongwu Army. Don't underestimate him because he is young.

The thousand-man soldier looked at Ye Dong in surprise, but he did not move an inch. Ye Dong clapped his hands and said, "I am a loyal soldier with such discipline, it has really broadened my horizons." He then said to Ma Dai, "Brother Ma, you don't have to be like this. I'll say a few words."

Ma Dai missed his body and said, "General, please!"

Ye Dong stood in front of the thousand soldiers, thought for a while, and said: "You guys are good, really good! Can anyone tell me who among you is the youngest? "

The crowd surged and a young soldier was forced out. Ye Dong smiled and asked, "What is your name? How old are you?"

The soldier stood at attention, his head held high as he puffed out his chest, "Reporting to General, this lowly one's name is Lin Fan. I am 14 years old this year!"

Ye Dong nodded and asked, "Then why did you become a soldier? At your age, shouldn't you be studying in the academy? "

The soldier replied, "Reporting to general, this lowly officer's father told me that a man should serve the imperial court and die for the nation without regrets!"

Ye Dong laughed, "What do you think?" As he spoke, he raised his head and said to the rest of the soldiers, "Don't just stand there. Sit down. Also, don't always shout at us lowly generals. This is like a chatterbox. I feel uncomfortable listening to you guys talk like this." As he said this, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and pulled Ma De and Lin Wen to sit on the ground as well.

The thousand soldiers looked at each other in dismay. However, when they saw the general, Ma De, and Lin Wen sitting on the ground, they too sat down.

Ye Dong patted Lin Fan's shoulder, "Go on." Lin Pin opened his mouth and said, "Ye Dong, Brother Ye Dong, I think it is better to stay at home and read books than to kill the enemy. What is this book?" "Not reading!"
