Late Night Tales Of The Capital

Chapter 1: Recognize ancestors

Views:

Thirteen years of Shenwu.

There was a spring rain on both sides of the Luoshui River, and the peonies bloomed overnight in Shendu.

As the evening approaches, the setting sun in the twilight and the sunset will outline the entire Luoyang city in colorful colors. Along the streams and rivers, painted boats are parading, and singing is overflowing.

The sky is getting darker, and the lights on both sides of the river are gradually starting to light up. In this season, the gods do not close the city gates until 3:00 noon, and the bustle and bustle of the night market will not dissipate until late at night. At this moment, shortly after dinner, most of the people flowed from their homes to the night market, brothels, restaurants and the boats on the riverside.

There are woven lanterns beside the road, an endless fire by the river, vendors yelling loudly, jugglers dance lions and beat gongs, and even faint sounds are constantly heard from brothels and prostitutes.

Ye Que was sitting in a dilapidated sedan chair for two people, looking at the scene around him, touching his immature arms, his eyes were blank with shock, and puzzled with perplexity.

"When did I become a teenager?"

"This is the human world?"

"Underfoot is Luoyang?"

As night fell, the bustle of Luoyang City reached its peak. I don't know which young master had nothing to do, but actually set off fireworks, perhaps to smile for Bomei. A large canopy of gorgeous fireworks rose in the sky, the flames flickered on and off, Ye Que looked up at the starry sky, and a round of bright moon quietly revealed his figure in the clouds and mist.

"Everything sings and dances."

"I can't feel any evil spirit."

"Could it be that the demon has withdrawn from the world?"

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, has criss-crossing avenues and alleys extending in all directions, and there are endless streams of fragrant cars and BMWs. Princes, generals, aristocrats and wealthy merchants each occupy luxurious and luxurious mansions, jade chariots gallop, golden whips flow in and out, dragons hold canopies, and phoenixes hold tassels in their mouths.

"My lord, the general's mansion is here." A dull male voice came from the sedan chair.

"General's Mansion!" Hearing these three words, Ye Que's face finally changed drastically, and he confirmed a fact, an unbelievable fact.

Maybe he really went back to his youth, back to a hundred years ago.

Like a dream.

Just a moment ago, he was still fighting with thousands of monsters in the fairyland, but at this moment, he returned to Luoyang a hundred years ago.

Standing in front of the gate of the General's Mansion in Luoyang, the capital of God, Ye Que was filled with emotion.

Ye Que, nicknamed Demon Killing Shura, is a peerless genius who ascended from the Qingqiu Sword Gate to the Immortal Realm in the forty-three years of Shenwu. He has been invincible in the Three Realms for decades. When the Wan Yao Legion attacked the Three Realms back then, Ye Que killed three thousand and six demons with a single sword, and was hailed as the idol of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm.

Such a hero, who would have thought that in this Luoyang city, in this general's mansion, he was humiliated for a period of nakedness, and the reason was that he was an illegitimate child, and that some people suspected that he was here to fight for power.

But in fact, Ye Que lived with his mother in the countryside since he was a child. Before his mother died, he hoped that he could return to the General's Mansion to recognize his ancestors. In order to fulfill his mother's last wish, Ye Que came to Luoyang alone.

Standing in front of this high-ranking and wealthy general's mansion, Ye Que hesitated, should he go in or not? When I came here for the first time, I felt that everything around me was so magnificent, pavilions, green trees and red flowers, maids and servants, and armored guards everywhere. At that time, I was a little inferior, a little scared, and more of a joy, because I thought that this would be my home in the future, I would have a father, and I would even have the opportunity to become a military general in the future.

Ye Que, who didn't have much money, hired a sedan chair after he came to Luoyang. He wanted to be as decent as possible, and even bragged to the bearer that he was the son of the general's mansion.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is terrible, and you are not welcome here.

"The illegitimate child still wants to recognize his ancestors?"

"Daydream!"

Looking back now, it's really ridiculous. Others and myself are just watching the sky from a well.

"Tap Tat Tat!"

There was a sound of hurried hoofbeats, and a group of iron cavalry came galloping from the corner of the street. The leader was a young man with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, riding a tall horse, followed by seven or eight fully armed cavalry.

Lift the reins, stop, and dismount.

Except for the young master at the front, the rest of the cavalry moved in the same order, and it could be seen that they were definitely not ordinary city guard soldiers. These people had been on the battlefield and drank their blood.

"Whose sedan chair is this? Why is it blocking the door of my general's mansion?" Brother Young Master waved his golden whip and circled around Ye Que's sedan chair. It doesn't look like a guest who can enter the general's mansion.

Ye Que didn't speak, he was still immersed in memories, he had just returned to being a teenager, the memory in his mind was still in a state of adapting and merging with the surrounding environment, and he was in a trance.

He, Ye Que, didn't speak, and the bearers who were waiting for the bill to collect the money didn't dare to be dazed. This is the General's Mansion, just looking at the sabers on the waists of those soldiers would be frightening.

"Master, the sedan chair was hired by the son in front. He said that he came to the General's Mansion to recognize his ancestors. We are poor bearers who rely on hard work for a living. We dare not block the gate of the General's Mansion for no reason." He said honestly with a bitter face.

"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? Who is he? Why should you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" After hearing this explanation, the young man who was riding a tall horse immediately raised his voice by one decibel.

"He said his father was General Ye." The bearer's expression was on the verge of tears. He knew what he said was absurd, but he didn't dare to lie, so he could only tell the truth. He hated Ye Que to death. up.

"His father is General Ye? If his father is General Ye, then who am I? Who in Luoyang City doesn't know that there is only one son in the General's Mansion."

"That person is me, Ye Yunhai."

Ye Yunhai lifted the reins and walked up to Ye Que in a few steps. The horse's head was facing Ye Que's face, while he himself was looking down at Ye Que with a ferocious face, "Boy, lie to the general's mansion, in Luoyang City It's the first time I've encountered it, say, who gave you the courage to pretend to be me?"

Two stern voices finally brought Ye Que back to his senses. He slowly raised his head to look at Ye Yunhai, then at the soldiers who had shown their weapons not far away, and finally turned his head to look at the sedan chair with trembling legs. Husband, Ye Que's face is calm, his eyes are calm, "My name is Ye Que, I come from Weicheng, Hecun, Yejiaxiang, and my mother is Tang Wanru. I came to Luoyang General Ye's Mansion today to recognize my ancestors. This is I dare not disobey my mother's last wish, and what I said to the bearer is not a lie."

After saying this, Ye Que reached into his bosom and took out a jade pendant, "This is a token from my mother, I believe it can prove my identity."

In the previous life, Ye Que didn't hesitate in front of the door after coming to the General's Mansion, so he didn't see Ye Yunhai, but saw the second wife of the General's Mansion directly, and was expelled afterwards. Now, with his state of mind, a The little general's mansion has long been out of my mind, but after all, it is my mother's last wish, so I still have to say what should be said, thinking that it is the same whether it is the same with the wife of the general's mansion or the son.

Whether he can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors is not important to the current Ye Que. The path of cultivating immortals is profound, vast and impermanent, and there is no comparison in the world.

"Weicheng, Hecun, Tang Wanru?" Ye Yunhai seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little serious, but there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, which was ironic and contemptuous, "You are the one who was kicked out back then." The government's illegitimate child?"

Ye Yunhai snorted with his nose and raised his head proudly.

"A scoundrel of a maidservant has the face to come back and recognize his ancestors?"

"Who sent you here?"

"What's the purpose of coming back at this time?"

It's no wonder Ye Yunhai thinks so. After the Spring Festival this year, General Ye Zhengru became ill and had been lying in bed for three months. Ye Que came to Luoyang at this time. No matter how you think about it, it's a coincidence. The illegitimate child is also a son. Who would dare? Guaranteed, when General Ye dies, he will not think of his love back then? When people are about to die, there will always be something different. If there was no Ye Que in the huge family business, it would all belong to Ye Yunhai. If half of it was divided out of thin air, anyone would be impatient.

"There is no purpose, just to fulfill the wishes of the elders."

After a pause, Ye Que continued, "You are the son of the general's mansion, you must be careful when you speak, insulting me is equivalent to insulting yourself."

"I'm older than you. From the strict point of view of my father's generation, I should call you younger brother. Since you are young, I don't have the same knowledge as you just said."

After Ye Que's words, his posture and expression looked like everyone else's. Although he was dressed simply and stood half a body lower than Ye Yunhai who was riding a horse, he didn't show any timidity.

Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org

Ye Yunhai stared at Ye Que, and at this moment he almost laughed out loud, thinking that a poor boy from the countryside would open his mouth to be his brother, and it was obvious what he was thinking. But if you think about it in another way, it's ridiculous for a general to divide his family property with a piece of broken jade pendant.

"Boy, what qualifications do you have for not being as knowledgeable as I am? Do you have knowledge? Have you ever been to the Ziluo Golden Palace? Where do the doors of the four cities and eight squares open? Do you know what the capitals, nine cities and sixteen states are called? How many tribes? How many sects are there in Qingqiu? How high is Shushan Mountain? How many floors are there in the Demon Locking Tower?" Ye Yunhai's expression gradually changed from mocking to fierce and domineering, as if gazing at the ants on the ground from the sky.

"See clearly, this is Luoyang, the capital of the gods. In front of you is General Ye's mansion, and I am the only son and heir here. Put away the jade pendant in your hand, and forget about recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors." Delusion, go back to the country obediently, be your poor boy, I can pretend that nothing happened today."

As Ye Yunhai said, he leaned close to Ye Que, and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel. It's not easy to make people disappear for no reason in Luoyang, but it's not difficult."

"You are a wise man, and I am sure you will make wise choices."

"The name Ye Que should not be used in the future."

"You don't deserve the surname Ye."

Naked humiliation, Ye Que did not expect that in the last life when he entered the mansion to face the second wife, he suffered a humiliation, and when he returned to the boy and faced the general's mansion again, it was still a humiliation, even worse, this time even the mansion The door has not even stepped in, as if there is a destiny in the dark.

All was quiet.

It seemed that a storm was brewing.

Ye Yunhai was already well prepared, as long as Ye Que made a slight movement, the soldiers behind him would subdue him in an instant, and what awaited him would be a boundless prison life.

However, beyond all expectations.

Ye Que didn't get angry, didn't argue with reason, and didn't scold each other. He bent down and packed his luggage calmly, then paid the bearer at the side, and then left the place without looking back, leaving only one sentence .

"The name is given by the parents. It is not something that anyone can take away if they want to. Feng Shui takes turns. Don't bully young people into poverty!"
