Chapter 231 The Most Powerful Hero of the Yuan Dynasty
On the way back home, Jamel Xiao took Ye Ping'an's pulse again and confirmed that the remaining poison had been eliminated and there would be no sequelae. Then he gently touched his head and asked in a gentle voice, "Have you seen how terrifying the powerful people in the capital are?"
Ye Pingan nodded: "I have seen it. If I were still the weak Ye Pingan from Wenggang Village without a big backer, I would be dead by now."
It is very easy for the powerful to kill a civilian.
The Qiao family is in business, and if businessmen are so terrible, let alone the royal relatives.
Ye Pingan covered the gold nugget in his hand: "Silver alone is not enough."
Jamel Xiao smiled and said, "Today's hardship was not in vain. I have learned some wisdom."
Ye Pingan glanced at him and said, "Brother-in-law, are you beating around the bush and calling me stupid?"
Xiao Jingxuan said: "You are not stupid at all, you are smart!"
He said in a rare serious tone: "I just want to tell you that there are always people better than you. There are countless talents in the capital, including businessmen, scholars, and martial artists. The competition is also fierce. Today, Qiao Yuliang may harm you, but tomorrow there may be another Qiao Yuliang. As the grandson of the Duke of Huguo..."
"Brother-in-law! Stop talking!" Ye Ping'an covered his mouth with his hand. "I understand the principles, but it's really hard to do it. Besides, you don't seem to be any better than me."
Jamel Xiao: “…”
Ye Pingan added: "I was only kidnapped once, but you were assassinated twice."
Ye Peng at the side said with a smile: "I am better than you. I have not been kidnapped or assassinated."
Shangguan Zhenhua glanced at him dimly: "Minister Cui of the Ministry of Rites intends to marry his sister to you, and Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Works also wants to marry his daughter. His daughter doesn't mind your age..."
Ye Peng: "...I'm just a butcher, how could someone like me?"
Shangguan Zhenhua: "Don't be so narcissistic. What people like is not you as a person, but your identity, the Prince of the Guardian State."
Ye Peng: "...Dad, although this is true, can you please not say it out loud?"
"No, son, you have to learn to face reality."
Ye Tang: "I can have a stepmother, but she can't be the kind with ulterior motives."
Ye Ping'an nodded in agreement.
His father has been single for so many years and has raised them with great difficulty. It’s time for him to find someone to spend the rest of his life with.
Ye Peng shook his head: "I don't need a woman. I will never do anything to let Ling Yue down!"
Shangguan Zhenhua admired his infatuation: "Your father only has your mother in his heart. Don't worry, your father is not a fool. He will not force you to get married unless you find someone you want to spend your life with."
Ye Peng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not forced to get married, it was good. As for whether he would meet someone he liked in the future, he would talk about it later.
If he hadn't met her, it would have been nice to be alone for the rest of his life. Oh, no, he is not alone, he has children and a father, and his children will have their own children in the future, so he can take care of his grandchildren.
The carriage arrived at Pingshan Palace.
After Ye Tang and his companions entered the room, they went to look for Guo Jiaojiao and her master, Master Qingshuang.
When Guo Jiaojiao saw Ye Tang and the others coming over, she immediately lowered her voice and said, "My master has already gone to bed. She doesn't like to be disturbed when she's sleeping, and she gets very irritable when she wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tang and the others fell silent.
Ye Tang asked Guo Jiaojiao in a low voice: "Have you eaten?"
Guo Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled. "Yes, I ate it. The servants in your house were very friendly and served me and Master very well. The food was especially delicious. Master said it was the best food she had ever eaten. It was a pity that there was no meat."
Shangguan Zhenhua was surprised: "Don't monks eat meat?"
Guo Jiaojiao chuckled: "My master eats both meat and vegetables, and I also eat both meat and vegetables. I can't live without meat."
Ye Tang said, "Oh!" It turned out to be the wine and meat nun: "I don't know your eating habits, I thought... I'll prepare mutton hot pot for you tonight."
Guo Jiaojiao's eyes lit up even more: "Great, I'm so looking forward to it. My master and I haven't eaten mutton for a long time!"
She and her master had run out of money long ago, and had to rely on begging to come to the capital.
Shangguan Zhenhua and Ye Peng came to express their gratitude to their savior, but now the savior's master is sleeping and Guo Jiaojiao is just a little girl, so it would not be appropriate for these outsiders to stay for long. So Shangguan Zhenhua, Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an said goodbye and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
When Ye Ping'an left, he was too embarrassed to look at Guo Jiaojiao. He remembered clearly the stupid things he had done when his mind was not clear.
The main thing was that his ugly face was seen by Guo Jiaojiao. In front of the girl, he pounced on anyone he could find like a madman, and even pounced on Xiao Qi.
Xiaoqi, I'm so sorry!
Dark history, the lingering dark history!
Jamel Xiao also left in advance.
Ye Tang stayed and reminisced with Guo Jiaojiao.
"Sister Tang, I've heard of the old King Pingshan, but I didn't expect that you would be the old King Pingshan's daughter-in-law. Wow, I'm so lucky to actually know the old King Pingshan's daughter-in-law." Guo Jiaojiao's words were full of admiration for the old King Pingshan, and Princess Zhaoyang was also the person she admired the most.
After asking, Ye Tang found out that Guo Jiaojiao's three masters were all nuns who survived the war.
During the turbulent years, Nangong Yan once led his troops through Xuzhou and rescued people in a nunnery.
To the three nuns, Nangong Yan was the most powerful hero of the Yuan Dynasty.
"My three masters have told me many stories about the old Pingshan Wang and his wife." Guo Jiaojiao looked yearning: "I admire them so much. I once dreamed that one day I could fight on the battlefield like them and defend my country."
Dreams are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. There are only a handful of women who can go to the battlefield. It is difficult for ordinary women to make merit on the battlefield. The most important thing is that the battlefield is really cruel. It is not a child's game. If you are not careful, you may die without knowing it.
"My master and the others don't agree with me joining the army. They don't want me to take risks. They want me to find someone to live out my life in peace. And even if they agreed, I couldn't enter the barracks. There was no women's army in the Yuan Dynasty." Guo Jiaojiao said with regret.
When Princess Zhaoyang was alive, there was a women's army called the Red English Army. However, after Princess Zhaoyang passed away, the Red English Army was disbanded.
After that, there were no more women's armies in the Yuan Dynasty.
The old members of the Red British Army are all old now.
Ye Tang touched her head and said, "It's good to have dreams. Don't give up. Maybe they will come true someday!"
Guo Jiaojiao: "I thought so too, so I didn't give up learning martial arts. I worked hard every day."
Guo Jiaojiao felt that Ye Tang was her soulmate and that Ye Tang understood her very well.
