Chapter 29 Ye Zheng: It’s broken, the proton is actually me
"You said it yourself. He is not a fool. If he is smart, he must have his own intentions for doing this. Let's wait and see." Ye Zhong said in a calm tone.
Dad really has the demeanor of a great general, and he sits as steady as a mountain.
Ye Zheng sighed softly and leaned back slowly.
The incident with Gong Dian consumed a lot of brain energy.
Even with all this effort, he still didn't understand Gong Dian's attitude.
"Didn't you inform Uncle Gong?" After a pause, he started the conversation again.
"What are you telling?" Ye Zhong glanced at him and said in a warning voice, "Put your mind back on track. You're telling others about the destruction of your family? I think you're a fool."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, but his emotions became stronger.
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
Dad said so, then Uncle Gong...
Ye Zhong sighed, "I don't underestimate him, but I don't expect him to risk his life and property to fight for his future with us. He is not your father."
Uh…
The last sentence...
Ye Zheng immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and said in a resolute voice, "Father, I will never forget your kindness in raising me and educating me!"
“Is this what I want to hear you say?” Ye Chong stroked his beard, and said with a hint of pride and dissatisfaction.
"Here...son, in the future, work hard to achieve 'advance without carelessness, retreat without shame', so that the people can live in peace and all industries can prosper."
Ye Zheng's answer was an indirect one.
How could he not understand what his father meant?
Ye Chong snorted.
The emperor did not mention a single word about the people and the country.
Never mind, just understand what he means.
"sit down."
"Your uncle Gong..." Ye Zhong's eyes became complicated when he mentioned Gong Dian. "He must have his own plans for mentioning the inside story of the famous painting of the previous dynasty. But after all, he has the Ye family in his heart and is worried about you. He forced you to act out that and say those words. Obviously, he didn't want you to be involved in the fight between the crown prince and the second prince. It's just..."
"But when he opened his mouth, I was already involved; but I showed my loyalty to the emperor." Ye Zheng took over the conversation and said, "But I didn't know that he was in Tai..."
Ye Zhong looked over.
He had no choice but to change his words and said, "I wonder what role Uncle Gong played in the fight between these two?"
“No matter what role you play, you have no control over your own destiny and you can’t force it.” Ye Chong sighed.
"If I can't control my heart, how can I control my body?" Ye Zheng retorted.
Ye Zhong immediately glared at him and sneered, "I didn't know you were so stubborn? You have a lot of character. When someone puts a knife to your neck, you'd better stop being so stubborn."
"Then I must not give others this opportunity." After imagining the scene, Ye Zheng, who valued his life, retorted.
“You…” Ye Chong was furious and wanted only to drag this rebellious son to the martial arts hall.
"Father, I was wrong. Don't be anxious or angry." Ye Zheng immediately begged for mercy with a shameless face.
Ye Zhong didn't look at him. He paused, looking at the words hanging on the wall, with a bitter smile on his face. "I heard that there is a tribe in the area where Nanzhao, Youzhang and Daqing meet that are good at raising poisonous insects. They put hundreds or even thousands of poisonous insects in a jar and wait for them to fight and devour each other. The only one left is the King of Poison. Such means are not only cruel, but also... cold and indifferent."
Ye Zheng deeply agreed with this.
That’s right, that’s right, the old rotten ones are all oozing pus.
"I have heard some rumors about him and the Crown Prince before. Judging from his behavior today, I think... he is still loyal to that person. After all, he has the mark of my Ye family on him. But that person made such an arrangement. I think it won't be long before my Ye family is dragged into this fight."
Ye Zheng jumped up at his father's words. He said seriously, "Father, we must find a family for our second sister as soon as possible."
Ye Zhong glanced at him and said, "You are quick-witted, but if that person is determined to drag our Ye family into this marriage, even if I find someone for my second sister in Kyoto, it will be useless."
"Well... you can't just surrender and be killed, right?"
"I will find a good opportunity to submit my resignation and request to be transferred to Dingzhou Camp. Now there are unusual movements among the troops in the northern border. I am afraid that Daqing and Northern Qi are going to go to war. The Western Hu have always been ambitious and we must be on guard."
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat. When his father said this, his eyes kept drifting over here.
"Father, are you joking? That person will not let my Ye family return to Dingzhou." He had some guesses and his smile became a little stiff.
Dingzhou, the base camp of the Ye family, where several generations have been operating for decades.
With his great uncle wandering around, how could Lao Deng let the Ye family return to Dingzhou, unless...
"Really? What do you think we can do?" Ye Zhong suddenly said in a playful tone, imitating his younger son's tone. Ye Zheng was dumbfounded.
Oh no, the proton is actually me!
To be honest, he is angry, he really is, he values his life.
On second thought…
Before Lao Deng's idea of eliminating all the great masters in the world is realized, it seems that he may be the safest as a proton.
His emotions were complicated and his words were stuck in his throat. A spark flashed through his mind and he suddenly remembered something. He looked at his father with wide eyes and asked, "So, father and mother are so anxious to arrange a marriage for me?"
"With a reliable Taishan, your life in Kyoto will be easier." Ye Chong said with a smile.
He is really happy.
I heard from my wife that she has already asked an old official from the Ministry of Rites about Najib for help with the two children.
"I..." Ye Zheng was shaking with anger.
and many more!
In this sense...
If my father had thought of this early on, wouldn't it be...
He raised his eyes and looked at his father.
Ye Zhong understood, stopped smiling, and nodded seriously.
A huge wave rose in Ye Zheng’s heart.
"Father...hid it so deeply?" He said with some resentment in his tone.
What I said before, what I said today, are you playing with me... no, teasing me?
"That's how I have to hide! You have to hide deeper than me! If it weren't for you, if you didn't have those thoughts, if you were a person who couldn't stand up, my Ye family might still be the loyal Ye family. But... that person is too cruel and wants to hold everything in his hands. The cunning rabbit is cooked and the running dog is killed. I... sometimes tremble with fear, and feel like the bow is hidden after the bird is killed!"
As he spoke, Ye Zhong extended his hand and placed it on his shoulder, his eyes apologetically, "At your age, your mind is often fickle and your will is unstable. You always want me to see what you really think and what you are capable of. Are you able to make up your mind just because you are hot-headed?"
"Some things, the fewer people know the better. Zheng'er, you don't have to worry. If it really comes to this, when I come back from Dingzhou, I will take you out of Beijing."
After meeting his father's gaze for a while, Ye Zheng finally understood.
If Uncle Gong is Infernal Affairs.
Then Dad is Infernal Affairs and Infernal Affairs again.
"Father, please don't sell your son, otherwise..."
He said this, but he actually believed in his father.
"What have you been thinking about all day? Come on, let's go to the martial arts hall!"
Ye Zhong raised an eyebrow and grabbed his arm.
"That's not necessary, that's not necessary." Ye Zheng quickly took root on the ground and steadied his feet.
Ye Zhong snorted, his eyes falling on his superior but immature face.
This is my youngest son.
His heart twitched, he looked away, put on a stern face, and said, "I heard Ling'er always mention that you promised to write a storybook for Ruoruo, but you never started writing. How can you be so negligent? Go back to the study and write it for Ruoruo!"
Ye Zheng, "..."
Returning to the study and sitting at the desk, Ye Zheng's heart was in turmoil.
Thinking of the events of Mrs. Qin's birthday and the South City incident, he had talked to his father several times to test his father's thoughts. He was quite happy when his father nodded in agreement with his suggestions. Now thinking about it...
shame!
After the shame, there was a sense of security that cleared the fog. Dad's idea was a safe bet.
Plans cannot keep up with changes, and it’s hard to guess what the bad guy is thinking.
Furthermore, in his father's plan, he might not be just an immobile proton, but his strength was increasing day by day.
His thoughts flowed freely, and he picked up his pen.
Thinking about how he would stay in Kyoto as a hostage for his family in the future, with the responsibility on his shoulders... his own head, he felt angry and started writing quickly.
Girl, let me give you some strength!
