Chapter Thirty-One Lazy and Sly

  Looking at Xiao Su's astonished expression, Chen Fei was overjoyed. Ye Xuan was also very satisfied with this result. Because Ye Xuan knew that to tame the people under his command, relying solely on courtesy and humility would not be enough, especially for subordinates like Xiao Su who were unruly and difficult to control. The only way to tame them was to show strength greater than theirs, defeating them in their own areas of expertise.

  Facing a master like Ye Xuan who is even stronger than him, Xiao Su and others can put away their own pride, quietly flatten the thorns on their bodies, and work hard for themselves.

  At the same time, Ye Xuan believed that after these two blows to Xiao Su, he would not dare to deceive himself in logistics work in the future. However, what Ye Xuan was worried about was that Xiao Su might be a glass heart and could not withstand such blows, which would be a loss.

  Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also had no good way to reconcile both sides, and could only helplessly shake his head, sigh, and then comfort himself: "Xiao Su is a thick-skinned and heartless man, his face is thicker than the city wall's corner, this blow doesn't count. If he can't even withstand this blow and has a glass heart, then he's not worthy of working under me."

  Putting aside the troubles, Ye Jiajun has also entered the right track recently, and many things don't need Ye Xuan to take care of them personally, which makes Ye Xuan feel much more relaxed.

  But once people relax their thoughts and feelings, they come out, Ye Xuan starts thinking of home.

  Thinking of his mother who worked hard day and night for him, as well as Xu Yan who had been waiting at home for him, Ye Xuan silently let out a sigh. He thought to himself that it was time to bring his mother and Xu Yan over to enjoy some good fortune. Right, he should also arrange for his mother to meet Sun Yu and Chen Fei, he believed she would definitely be delighted.

  Yexuan's eyes had already begun to wander at this point.

  ……

  No sooner had Xiao Su left than Ye Xuan called Sun Yu to bring Chen Fei, and the three brothers ran to Zhuge Yu's place in a hurry.

  Sun Yu and Chen Fei were both excited about Ye Xuan's proposal, especially Chen Fei. When he was a child, Chen Fei had been taken care of by Ye Xuan's mother, Meng Shi, and to him, she felt like his own mother. Later, after his biological mother passed away, his stepmother treated him poorly, so he simply acknowledged Meng Shi as his foster mother.

  It's been ten years since they last met, but Chen Fei also misses this foster mother. When Ye Xuan said to go home and take a look, he was very much in agreement.

  Zhuge Yu looked at the three brothers in front of him with some curiosity. In the Ye family army, although Ye Xuan was extremely respectful to himself, Sun Yu and Chen Fei did not take him too seriously. These two people rarely came to visit him again.

  This is the first time that three brothers have come together. Looking at Ye Xuan's silly smile, although somewhat dissatisfied with his foolish grin, he didn't show it and instead smiled slightly, then asked: "I wonder what brings the three of you to me?"

  Ye Xuan saw Zhuge Yu's puzzled expression, scratched his head awkwardly and said: "That is to say, sir also knows that from my debut to now, it has been more than half a year... So..." Ye Xuan didn't continue.

  However, Zhuge Yu had a bad premonition, but he still nodded silently and continued to ask: "So, what does the general mean?"

  "So it's also time to bring my mother and other relatives back, let them enjoy their good fortune! At the same time, this time I'll also have them meet my several brothers, thinking that Mother will surely be delighted! Therefore, General has decided to leave for a few days, during which all matters will be left to you, sir, to manage. That's all, nothing else, won't disturb you further."

  After finishing speaking, Ye Xuan and his three brothers slipped away quietly.

  Zhuge Yu's face immediately turned sour after hearing Ye Xuan's words. Originally, just the civil administration matters had already exhausted Zhuge Yu, and now if he were to take on all the tasks himself! By the time General Ye Xuan returned, he would be left with nothing but bones...

  "General, with the tasks you've assigned me, I'm already stretched thin as it is. Now you're adding even more to my plate? Even if I had three heads and six arms, I'd still be overwhelmed! No way, no way! You'll have to come up with another plan for me!"

  Ye Xuan looked at Zhuge Yu, who was out of breath and frustrated, and smiled slyly before saying: "As the saying goes, 'the capable are often overworked', this is a perfect opportunity to prove your worth, sir! You absolutely mustn't decline!"

  I don't believe you can't think of a way! As for the things you mentioned, you're in charge of this area, so you should consider everything and decide what to do, or else you come up with something!

  It's settled then. If something comes up when I'm not around, think carefully about what to do and handle it first, then report back to me for approval when I return. Those who are capable will have more work to do, haha!

  "I'm busy with many things here and also need to prepare to go home, so Mr. Fu can handle this small matter by himself, no need to come bother me!"

  Taking advantage of Zhuge Yu's momentary distraction, the 3 brothers slipped away in a flash and disappeared without a trace...

  Zhuge Yu looked at Ye Xuan's expression and behavior, which was almost like playing tricks, and could only shake his head in dismay. However, he still felt a little comforted and moved in his heart.

  Even if Ye Xuan says so, it gives people a feeling of being lazy and slippery, but if you look at it from another angle, you will find that it also fully reflects Ye Xuan's trust and appreciation for Zhuge Yu.

  Although it can be said that after receiving Ye Xuan's command, he will definitely be busy to the point of being unable to touch his feet on the ground, but isn't this kind of life, this sense of fulfillment what he has been wanting?

  Ye Xuan gave himself a stage where he could play to his strengths. With such a wise and trusting master, he must cherish this hard-won opportunity.

  So now Zhuge Yu is very busy, but also very happy. Perhaps this is what they call bitter and sweet?

  ……

  As a military advisor, Zhuge Yu's intelligence cannot be underestimated. He naturally has a way to deal with these things. As for complaining to Ye Xuan, it was just a joke between the monarch and his subject. Ye Xuan believed that with Zhuge Yu in charge, Tianlong Fortress would be fine during his absence of several days.

  The next day at dawn, Ye Xuan, Sun Yu and Chen Fei, the three brothers bid farewell to everyone and rode their fast horses towards Xiude Town.
