Chapter 37: The Young General Has Arrived!

  Ye Xuan and his three brothers slowly walked in, the big man on that side had obviously discovered them. With a loud command, nine people put on their clothes, although they were tattered and worn out, but they were dressed neatly; one person was in front, the other eight people, divided into two rows, followed behind him in a goose-step formation, standing upright, with neat steps, walking over with not a single flaw, surprisingly it was the standard military reception etiquette!

  Only nine people walked out like this, while others continued to work as if they didn't see anything; without even batting an eyelid.

  The nine men approached, the leader being a nearly forty-year-old burly man with a prominent scar on his face. He stood up straight and asked with a fist: "Three young masters have come here, are you going to climb the mountain to worship General Ye Da?"

  "It is." Ye Xuan said with a smile: "Please trouble Uncle to lead the way."

  Ye Xuan nodded, these people were his father's former subordinates; they had been guarding Ye Long's tomb for over ten years... just this persistence alone made Ye Xuan feel that the other party was worthy of being called "uncle"!

  Such a good man, if he can't be worthy of it, then I'm afraid no one else will be! Although he himself has memories from his past life and is a figure who gazes at the world with disdain; although his achievements in this life are also not insignificant; but facing the most sincere emotions in the world, Ye Xuan feels that he truly respects him from the bottom of his heart.

  However, Ye Xuan's "uncle" sparked the doubt of the big man opposite him. These battle-hardened men, who had experienced many ups and downs, had their own wisdom. The big man suspiciously turned his head and exchanged a few glances with his companions behind him. Turning back, his expression had obviously eased a lot, but he still asked meticulously: "This young master is being too polite, He Wei is just a rough man, and the title of 'uncle' is one that I dare not accept. May I ask, which family's descendant are you?"

  "I am Ye Xuan." Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and at this moment, saying his own name, Ye Xuan felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, as if at this moment, his entire soul had completely merged into this original body... Ye Wei's son, Ye Xuan!

  "You say you are Ye Xuan? Is it really you?" The big Han, called He Hui, changed his face greatly, retreated two steps, and looked at Ye Xuan with a gaze that suddenly became extremely complex.

  There is both admiration and respect for the house and wok, as well as frustration at unfulfilled potential, genuine delight, and even some inexplicable encouragement...

  He Wei's lips trembled slightly, and he said: "So it's General Shao who has arrived... But, General Shao, did you bring the family heirloom?"

  Ye Xuan nodded and drew out the large sword from behind his back, handing it to the big man in front of him named He Wei with both hands.

  Looking down at the sword, it's like climbing a high mountain and looking down into a deep abyss, vast and profound, as if there is a giant dragon coiled. On top of it, a big "Ye" character proves Ye Xuan's identity.

  Holding the treasured family sword of the Ye clan, the burly and majestic Wang Meng suddenly had his hands tremble, and tears welled up in his tiger-like eyes... It's been a long time... Ye! This name, we've been apart from for ten years! A whole decade without seeing each other.

  ……

  Suddenly, He Wei burst into tears and knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling as he said: "He Wei pays his respects to General Xiao... Heaven has eyes, General Xiao has finally grown up and become a capable adult... and is also filial... If the great general knew of this in the underworld, he would surely smile in his tomb..." It was as if Ye Xuan's visit to pay his respects to his birth father was a rare and precious thing.

  "Uncle He Wei, you absolutely cannot be like this! How can Ye Xuan bear it!" Ye Xuan was startled by the scene and hurriedly helped him up, with a hundred emotions swirling in his heart. His eyes were even slightly red...

  Recently, the Ye family was destroyed, and Ye Xuan didn't even have a chance to come here to pay his respects to his father. However, Ye Xuan didn't say that it's only natural for a son to pay his respects to his father, and now that he's here, he's barely showing some filial piety, which is enough to make this outsider excited, even praising him for being sensible... Their expectations of themselves are so low... If Ye Xuan still wants to find excuses, then that would be utterly ridiculous...

  Tears streaming down his face, He Wei turned around and shouted loudly: "Everyone come over! Good news, General Xiao has come to visit the Commander... it's the Commander's eldest son, everyone hurry over! Quickly come to welcome General Xiao.

  "With a loud crash, the crowd suddenly boiled up, and everyone even threw down their shovels and ran over with their backs exposed. Everyone's face was filled with excitement, and an older, thin man cried out while running, tears streaming down his face: "The General has finally arrived... I'm sure the Commander-in-Chief has been waiting day and night underground all these years... Today, heaven is showing mercy, and finally, a flesh-and-blood relative has come to pay respects... The Commander-in-Chief must know in the afterlife, and can now rest his heart..."

  Always calm and composed, even with a knife to his throat, Ye Xuan could still talk and laugh freely. But today, for some reason, his eyes couldn't help but redden in an instant... This heartfelt joy made Ye Xuan feel even more heartache and shame.

  This large group of men surrounded Ye Xuan, their faces filled with the most sincere and heartfelt joy.

  After the initial excitement, seven or eight people chimed in: "General, you are indeed the son of a great general, flesh and blood, look at those eyes, just as calm and wise as your father..."

  "No, I think it's still the mouth that looks the most alike, just slightly pursed, with a somewhat resolute and cruel taste, majestic and tight. Every time Generalissimo gives an order, his lips are pursed like this... Once when I received an order, I secretly looked up and was startled..."

  "What kind of eyes... You see the Third Young Master's two eyebrows, standard sword-shaped eyebrows! When the General was fighting against the Southern Barbarians and gave the order to launch a general attack, the General's eyebrows were raised just like that; I felt at the time that victory was certain! How about it? I said we would win for sure, defeat the enemy soundly, and the Young General's eyebrows are most similar to the General's..."

  As people talked, the sound gradually became smaller, and one by one, they walked out in a daze, staring at Ye Xuan's face, muttering to themselves "So similar... so similar to General..." Slowly, one by one, they suddenly had tears in their eyes...

  Suddenly a Han character wailed and cried, crying with a broken heart, intermittently saying: "I Wang Tie seems to have seen the Grand Marshal again... this face... I see it every day in my dreams, today, finally saw the real person, General, why didn't you come earlier, Grand Marshal, we've been waiting for you so bitterly...

  As he cried, all the men tightly closed their lips, their facial muscles twitching as they struggled to hold back tears, but ultimately couldn't, and their tightly closed lips slowly opened with a bitter sigh, and tears fell down in streams... This face that had haunted his dreams for ten years...

  What a pity, this person is not the great general reborn! He is the son of the great general, the great general... we will never see him again... tears fall like rain! Such an iron-blooded man, heart-wrenching cry! Who says that men's tears are not easily shed, only because they have not reached the point of heartbreak! Now that the time for sorrow has arrived, a good cry reveals the true nature of a man! Only then is genuine emotion revealed!
