Chapter 108: The Upright Wang Xian (Thanks to my friend Wuqing Duomingren for his monthly ticket!)
To be honest, he was somewhat reluctant to return to Fengshan County. After all, if he returned to his hometown in Fengshan, it meant that he would have to meet Cui, the original owner's biological mother. Ye Mingsheng himself didn't know how to face her for a while.

In the original owner's memory, this Mrs. Cui was an old lady who was very strict and attached great importance to rules. When the original owner was young, he was often beaten by Mrs. Cui because of his mischief.

However, Cui also valued and loved the original owner's only son. In order to let Ye Mingsheng become a "Wusheng" in Liaoyang and enter the Zhaowu Camp, she spent a lot of money. When Ye Mingsheng settled down in Luoan, Cui would send people to deliver silver and some local specialties from her hometown to subsidize the original owner during the holidays.

Although he wanted to escape emotionally, Ye Mingsheng was very clear rationally that hiding was not a solution...

He can hide now, but according to his plan, he will be transferred to the Zhenwu Army and return to Liaoyang. By then, where can he hide when he is stationed in Liaoyang?
What's more, he wanted to settle Pei Zhixiu in Fengshan County. In this case, how could he not go back?

Now that things have come to this point, there will be no escape sooner or later. In this case, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible. Since I have inherited the original owner's official position and power, I should also bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng became more determined in his thoughts, and murmured in a low voice: "Brother, just go with peace of mind, I will treat your mother as my own mother and take care of her..."

As soon as these words were spoken, a breeze blew outside the house, and Ye Mingsheng felt a lot more relaxed.

After a night's rest at Datian Pass and early breakfast in the morning, Ye Mingsheng led his subordinates and continued to advance towards Luoan amid the warm farewell of the Datian Pass defenders.

"Sir, are we heading towards Dongxiang County?"

About half an hour after leaving Datian Pass, Wang Xian, who was walking at the end of the team, saw that the troops were not moving in the right direction, so he rode his horse to Ye Mingsheng and asked:

"That's right!" Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised by Wang Xian's arrival, but he still nodded and said:

Seeing Ye Mingsheng admit it, Wang Xian said hesitantly: "Sir, it will take one more day to go through Dongxiang County than through Guoziling..."

"I know! Is there any problem?" Ye Mingsheng looked calm and continued:
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's attitude, Wang Xian, who has always been quite straightforward, had not yet reacted and wanted to continue speaking.

“Sir, why are we…” “Stop talking!”

When Wang Xian started to speak, Chen Yannian, who was walking in front of the team, saw that the situation was not good, and rushed over. He shouted to stop Wang Xian, and then said to Ye Mingsheng:
"The lord has arranged for us to take that route, and we will take that route!"

Seeing Chen Yannian's understanding, Ye Mingsheng nodded with a smile, then made up an excuse and said, "I heard that there have been heavy rains in Guoziling for several days, and the water is serious. The road is muddy and very difficult to travel, so we changed the route to Dongxiang County!"

"Dongxiang County is one of the largest counties in Liaoyang. When you get there, you can have a good rest for two days and experience the local conditions and customs of Liaoyang. I have arranged for Kong Ruian to give you guys a good meal when you get to Dongxiang County!"

"Thank you for the arrangement, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yannian decisively bowed and said, after he saw Wang Xian, who didn't know what happened yet, and pulled Wang Xian secretly. Seeing this, although Wang Xian didn't know why it was like this, he also bowed to Ye Mingsheng and whispered:
"Thank you, sir!"

"If there is nothing else, please return to your respective seats, my lords." Ye Mingsheng said calmly:

The two who received the order bowed again and retreated immediately. Looking at the two men's departing backs, Ye Kui, who was guarding behind Ye Mingsheng, muttered softly: "Wang Xian, that old guy, the young master still needs him to teach..."

Hearing his complaint, Ye Mingsheng immediately turned around and looked over. Feeling his gaze, Ye Kui, who was about to say a few more words, immediately realized his mistake, and quickly lowered his head and shut his mouth.

"During the lunch break, do 100 squats. I can say some things, but you can't say them!" Ye Mingsheng said sternly,

"Yes, Master!"

Ye Kui, who was punished, immediately showed a bitter look on his face, and responded in a low voice, "Since the young master went to Ruishan County, I don't know where he learned so many corporal punishment methods. Although it is not as severe as the whipping and beating, it is really tiring. After doing a hundred squats, when I get up the next day, my thighs are really sore..."

After slightly punishing Ye Kui, Ye Mingsheng's thoughts drifted to Wang Xian. After a moment, he shook his head and gave up a certain idea in his mind. Since he was ready to be transferred to the Zhenwu Army, he didn't need to continue to strengthen his authority here. It would be nice to leave a good impression on everyone before leaving.
