Chapter Eighteen: Two Great Talents Fall

  This afternoon, Ye Xuan discovered Xiao Su, a math talent, in the training ground from this morning. He then found this little steward and made him responsible for daily management. From now on, he and Chen Fei didn't have to worry about these trivial matters that couldn't be ignored anymore. This kid was so good at math, it would be a waste not to use him. Waste is a crime, we can't do that, hehe...

  Ye Xuan finally had some free time this afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel that he could steal a moment of leisure amidst his busyness. Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people in the military camp, he indulged in his fantasies alone, thinking about the treasure he received that morning, and couldn't help but smile foolishly...

  But Ye Xuan's beautiful dream didn't last long, and he felt a wave of annoyance in his heart. Thinking that Ma Teng was about to attack, he couldn't help but sigh: "Fighting every day and everywhere, when will it end?"

  Ye Xuan had just finished speaking when he heard someone chuckle "heh heh" beside him...

  Ye Xuan was searching for the owner of this voice, and saw that it was a refined and elegant young man wearing a scholar's attire, holding a feather fan. At first, Ye Xuan didn't pay much attention to him, because he was just a hostage in Di Yu's hands, and since no one came to ransom him, he had been staying in the Ye family army all along. Ye Xuan hadn't made things difficult for him, and hadn't paid much attention to him either, so when he saw that the young man could write, he let him serve as a scribe.

  At this time, Ye Xuan carefully sized him up and found that the more he looked at him, the more surprised he became. Suddenly, Ye Xuan discovered that this person had a face as white as jade, with an ethereal quality that seemed to have a hint of divinity.

  Perhaps this time I've encountered an even greater treasure than the one from this morning, so I subtly cupped my hands and asked with reverence: "May I ask what else can you teach me, sir?"

  "This person also answered straightforwardly: '50 years ago, the Zhongjin Kingdom sent troops north to Jiangxi, and Xining defeated Yelong was also a commoner. He was open-minded and good at using people, and it only took him three years to become a legendary warrior. Now that the world is in chaos, General, you are also a descendant of Ye Old General, even if you don't have his general's aura, shouldn't you have some advantage?'"

  Ye Xuan was also getting old, although he respected his grandfather and father very much, but he never thought that his ability was inferior to his grandfather and father. The two generations of geniuses merged together, and the pride of being a genius also merged together. Ye Xuan did not think that he would lose to anyone!

  "Please, sir, teach me what I should do!"

  "As long as the general can learn from his grandfather and father, and do things according to their behavior, I think the general's achievements will definitely not be comparable to those of your grandfather and father. I think this world will certainly be yours!"

  Ye Xuan looked at the bookworm in front of him with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, as if this remark had struck a chord deep within his heart. The word "loyalty" was like heroin to Ye Xuan, intoxicating him, while at the same time, the loyal heart within this body was slowly fading away...

  The dragon slowly woke up at this time... My ambition is not so superficial! My ambition is the whole world!

  Having understood this point, Ye Xuan straightened his posture and bowed deeply to the person in front of him.

  And this person is Zhuge Yu, the first meritorious minister of the founding country in the future.

  ……

  At night, Xiao Su stood alone in front of Ye Xuan's door, feeling anxious and uneasy. He paced back and forth in front of the door several times, putting down his right hand that had almost reached out to knock on the door. In his heart, he secretly regretted and scolded himself: "You're really something, Xiao Su! You think you're so great just because you have some talent? What are you showing off for? Now look at yourself, originally it was tough training, but at least you could eat your fill! Now who knows what the general wants with me, probably to get revenge on me for my behavior this morning. Even if I manage to keep my position, the general will still make things difficult for me! Ah, life is hard."

  ……

  Ye Xuan, being a former special forces operative, noticed Xiao Su's arrival as soon as he approached. He sat up in bed and waited for Xiao Su to knock on the door and enter. However, what annoyed Ye Xuan was that this kid stood still at the door for half a day without making a sound.

  Ye Xuan found it strange, so he listened carefully and heard Xiao Su's muttering to himself. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. There are indeed many weirdos in this world. Someone actually came to someone else's doorstep to scold people, and what's more, this guy was scolding himself!

  This made Ye Xuan very interested, Ye Xuan stood alone behind the door, wanting to listen and see how long this guy could go on, but after listening for a while, Ye Xuan regretted this decision, this guy had already cursed for nearly two hours and didn't feel tired at all!

  All he saw was his three-inch tongue, talking endlessly like a waterfall pouring down. Even Ye Xuan, who came later, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  ……

  Finally, Ye Xuan couldn't take it anymore and shook his head helplessly. He opened the door, and at this time, Xiao Su was standing with his back to Ye Xuan, muttering to himself. As soon as he heard the sound of Ye Xuan opening the door, he was startled, lost his footing, and rolled down the stairs from Ye Xuan's doorway.

  Ye Xuanqiang suppressed his smile and asked, "I say, Xiao brother, what are you doing wandering around someone else's door at this late hour? Are you here to show off your eloquence? If so, then I must say that your purpose has been achieved. I have immense admiration for your eloquence, it's like the endless ocean! From now on, whenever we encounter enemy forces, all our Ye family army needs to do is send out your three-inch tongue to engage in a war of words with the enemy, and we'll definitely be able to revive the prestige of our Ye family army! Do you think what I said is right or not, Xiao brother?"

  Looking at Ye Xuan's sarcastic expression, Xiao Su was so angry that his face almost turned purple, and he immediately shouted: "I'm watching the sun!"

  Just finished speaking, Xiao Su immediately felt like slapping himself in the face. What are you doing so late at night?!

  Ye Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then shook his head saying: "Brother Xiao is indeed a legendary eccentric!" Ye Xuan even emphasized the two words "legendary eccentric", seeing Xiao Su's face twist even more. Not satisfied, Ye Xuan continued to mock him, saying: "Running to someone else's doorstep at midnight to watch the sunrise, you really are something! Tell me, General, should I go catch a few sparrows for you to raise as pets? Haha..."

  Listening to Ye Xuan's sarcasm, Xiao Su also completely calmed down and put on a dead pig not afraid of boiling water appearance. Ye Xuan saw that Xiao Su had calmed down and stopped laughing, saying warmly: "Now that you're calm, let's go inside quickly, we have serious matters to discuss, I've been waiting for you in the room for two hours, the tea has gone cold."

  At this, Xiao Su immediately looked at Ye Xuan with gratitude. He knew that his previous fearful state was not suitable for discussing things properly, so earlier Ye Xuan's seemingly sarcastic remark was actually helping him to calm down.

  At the same time, Xiao Su was deeply moved by Ye Xuan's ability to put aside their past differences and come to him without regard for his own status, and a strong urge arose in his heart to die for such a noble friend.

  ……

  That night, Ye Xuan and Xiao Su talked a lot about logistics, and Xiao Su also gave Ye Xuan many opinions. Ye Xuan felt more and more that Xiao Su had a great talent for managing supplies.

  Xiao Su deeply admired Ye Xuan. No matter what field it was, Ye Xuan was very proficient in it, so he even more wanted to follow Ye Xuan from the bottom of his heart.

  When it came to the end, Ye Xuan directly let Xiao Su take charge of the logistics team. Ye Xuan also directly took Liu Bang's praise for Xiao He and used it to praise Xiao Su, saying "With Brother Xiao's help, comforting the people, providing food and supplies, unblocking the grain path, what's there to worry about not completing great things!" Xiao Su was also moved by Ye Xuan's words, feeling a strong urge to die for his lord.

  ……

  After Xiao Su left, Ye Xuanyu asked without turning back: "I wonder how you view this person?" A man with a face like purple jade, holding a feather fan, slowly walked out from behind, gently fanning himself and smilingly said: "Although this person appears rough on the surface, his heart is actually as meticulous as a needle, he will definitely help the general achieve great things!"

  Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction and then gazed up at the stars in the sky, remaining silent for a long time...

  Let Dudu say a few words. If you think the little brother's writing is not bad, welcome to comment. If it's not good, please criticize freely.
