Ye Xuan had no idea that even so, his father couldn't help but frown slightly, and was about to pull him to cry.

"When his parents died, I swore that I would never let him go to the battlefield."

"Who would have known that he would do something that others wanted to escape from. If the Northern Expedition was so simple, wouldn't the imperial court have sent troops to suppress it long ago? Why would they wait until now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan lowered his head and coughed twice, pretending that he did not hear these outrageous words.

"Ashu is young, and he won't go to the Vanguard Camp. Besides, he has the elders in the army to look after him, so it may not be a bad thing for him."

Then he was glared at, "Although you are not his biological brother, you have watched him grow up. Why are you just going to watch him die?"

This statement was almost groundless and a random accusation. He was not asked to die on the battlefield!

Ye Xuan couldn't help but complain in his heart: I'm tired, and we're talking at cross purposes.

But considering his father's current mood and the harmony of the family, he still patiently comforted him.

"The key issue now is, even if Ashu's list is removed, will he accept this result? If he follows secretly..."

"If he dares, I'll break his legs." Ye Xuan's father suddenly interrupted him, almost making Ye Xuan's ears ring. "I want to see how long he can last without food or water."

Ye Xuan's breath was stuck in his throat, and he really wanted to rush back at him regardless of his manners: What were you doing so far?

It would be fine if Ashu didn't know his own life experience, but over the years, no one in his family wanted to hide it.

Now that this happened, it seemed normal to him.

We'll have someone send some food over later. If Ashu really wants to join the army, and he starves to death at this point in time, that would be like sending his life away.

Thinking of this, he called his personal servant over and gave him detailed instructions, then he got up and went to the study.

After walking around the study for a few times to digest the food, he began to instruct his servants to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone to start writing letters. The recipients were all to his elders who were still in the army. He wrote until noon in the sun and did not even have time to eat breakfast. He changed into his official uniform, rode his horse in a hurry, and hurried to the court.

On this side, Ye Laoer, after enjoying the happiness of family reunion for a while, was called into his room by Ye Guo.

From the moment Ye Lao Er entered the door, he put away the smile on his face. The time spent together as a family was indeed wonderful, but now he was someone who understood the current situation to some extent, and he was always thinking about it in his heart.

Then Ye Guo told the story of Xu Changqing in a straightforward manner.

Ye Guo had not told anyone in the family about Xu Changqing's identity, but now that Ye Laoer had returned home, she told him everything, which shows how much she trusts her second brother.

But Ye Laoer would rather be excluded.

Who is like him, who just sat down and heard such earth-shattering news. He felt his soul was numb, his throat was tight, and his mind was blank.

But Ye Guo was still sitting casually, and said in a relaxed tone, "Although Xu Changqing is the national teacher, he is good-looking and easy to talk to. The child in my second sister-in-law's belly is probably related to the famine next year."

"So I don't quite agree with your previous suggestion of buying a house in the county. To be on the safe side, you can rent one first. If you really want to buy one, you should go to Yongzhou Prefecture."

"There are troops stationed in Yongzhou Prefecture. As long as you have money, it shouldn't be difficult to survive."

Ye Laoer stared at his little sister in a daze, feeling that every word he heard was like thunder in his ears.

Ye Guo wanted to continue, thinking that her analysis was well-founded. Ye Lao Er swallowed and suddenly interrupted her, "Tell me again, who is he? Imperial Master?"

This identity was beyond Ye Laoer's imagination in his entire life. He was so shocked that he dared not move at all and his heart was in a mess.

After a long while, he calmed down a little, "Little sister, why are you calling me by my name? Do you know that just because of this, I can take your head and the heads of all of us at any time." Ye Lao Er said with a serious look.

If Xu Changqing himself were here, he would be able to see that his behavior was the normal reaction of a true Daqing person after hearing his identity.

Instead of being like Ye Guo, who seemed surprised in the last second and then did what he had to do in the next second!

After Ye Lao Er finished speaking, he suppressed the fear in his heart and continued, "Little sister, you are used to being disrespectful in the village. Even though you are now a county lord, you are just a bumpkin in the eyes of the noble families in the imperial city, let alone the imperial master."

Ye Guo: ...

In view of Xu Changqing's identity, next year's famine seems less important.

"If he is really the imperial teacher, then Yunniang, no matter what, can't continue to stay in Yejia Village." Compared with the Wang family's joy, there was no joy on Ye Laoer's face.

"What's the reason for this? Could it be that because of Xu Changqing's words, the child in my second sister-in-law's belly will not have the surname Ye?"

What Ye Guo didn't realize was that as a person who grew up under the red flag, her usual thinking was that as long as she didn't break any rules or laws, she was a three-good citizen.

Then, Ye Lao Er sighed helplessly, "Little sister, that's the state teacher. He's the state teacher who can exterminate nine clans of a person at will with just one sentence."

Ye Guo choked, not knowing what he was thinking about, and did not speak for a long time.

"If the child in Yunniang's belly has even a little bit to do with Daqing's national destiny, then its life or death will not be decided by us."

"But fortunately, at present, everything is moving in a good direction."

Although Ye Lao Er said this, Ye Guo couldn't even see the gloomy expression on his face.

A second brother like this is basically thinking about the next move.

Ye Guo couldn't help but gnashing his teeth, "Xu Changqing..."

Before he could even open his mouth, he saw the warning in his second brother's eyes.

"Then I can't call him the Imperial Master, right? If I accidentally let it slip, everyone in the family will be as nervous as you. How can we still live like this?"

"I called him in person and he didn't mind. Why are you so anxious for him?"

Somehow, Ye Laoer felt a lump in his chest, and he just couldn't let it go. He knew that he should have stopped her the first time he heard her calling Ye Xuan's name, otherwise it would not have come to this situation.

"Just call him Master. Didn't you say that everyone in the Wang family calls him that?" Ye Lao Er said in self-abandonment, his hand already on his forehead, looking like he didn't want to say more.

But Ye Laoer's reminder was somewhat effective. "Master said that he would come back after a while. I think he might have taken a fancy to the rice in my field."

Ye Laoer raised his head too quickly and his neck felt a lump. Ye Guo couldn't help but squint his eyes because it was so painful.

But Ye Lao Er kept asking, "Doesn't he live in Wang's house? Why did he come to Ye Village?"
