Chapter 40 - General Ye Luilie, You're Really Great!

Chapter 40 General Ye Luilie, You’re Really Great!

Ye Luilie did not understand and helped the excited Little Princess off the horse’s back.

As soon as she landed, Yun Chunuan quickly ran towards that green area.

Ye Luilie frowned slightly. He could not understand why she was so excited over a pile of weeds.

He also walked over curiously.

Yun Chunuan stretched out her hand and pulled a ‘weed’ closer to her nose. After confirming its smell, she became even more excited.

Wild leek!

It was really wild leek!

When she was young, her grandparents brought her to play in the fields. She could often see this kind of wild vegetable that grew all year round.

She pulled out a pile to play with her friends. However, her grandmother told her that it was food and could not be wasted.

That night, she cooked a whole feast of wild leeks for her.

It was delicious!

If she liked the taste of leeks, she would definitely love wild leeks even more!

Ye Luilie saw that the girl was giggling foolishly at a stalk of wild grass, so he crouched down curiously and pulled one out. Imitating her, he sniffed it.

The smell… made him frown.

When Yun Chunuan saw him like that, she knew that wild leek were like wild grass in Bian Liao. He had never eaten them before.

Yun Chunuan placed the wild leek in the barbarian General’s hand and was about to pull out the others.

However, she was stopped by Ye Luilie. “Why are you pulling out the wild grass?”

The Little Princess chuckled. Her clear black and white eyes flashed with a dazzling light, making her look even more agile. “I’ll cook something delicious for you!”

As Yun Chunuan spoke, her hands did not stop moving.

In a short while, a handful of wild leeks appeared in her small hand. The activity left red marks on her palms as she stuffed them into Ye Luilie’s hand. However, Ye Luilie stuffed them back into her hands.

Just as Yun Chunuan frowned in confusion, he bent forward and grabbed a handful of wild leeks with his large hand.

It was much faster than Yun Chunuan, who had to pull out a small handful after a long time.

He stuffed a big handful into the Little Princess’s arms and continued to pull with all his might.

His face was filled with joy. Even though he tried hard to suppress the rising corners of his lips, he could not hide it.

It was because his little girl said, ‘I’ll make you something delicious!!

In fact, Ye Luilie did not think that the pungent smell of wild grass could be that delicious.

However, since she said so, even though he knew it was poison, he still wanted to have a taste.

The barbarian General was full of energy and looked even more excited than the Little Princess.

Yun Chunuan was confused. She had no idea that her words had such great influence.

Soon, she could not carry any more wild leeks.

“Enough, enough!” Yun Chunuan quickly called out to the man who was still acting recklessly.

Ye Luilie raised his head. His eyes were brighter than the sun. “If you like it, then take it all away.”

He did not know what romance was. He just wanted to give her all the things that she liked.

“That’s enough!”

It was enough for a whole feast of leeks!

Seeing that she could not hold on to the leeks anymore, Ye Luilie finally stopped.

He took off the outermost layer of the leather jacket, took the wild vegetables from the Little Princess’s arms, and picked them up with one hand.

“Aren’t you cold? Use my hat,” Yun Chunuan said and was about to take off the big hat on her head.

Ye Luilie stopped her. “I have a lot of firepower in my belly, so how can I be cold?”

Seeing her nose and face turn red from the cold, Ye Luilie pulled her up from the ground. “If you want, we can come back tomorrow.”

“Okay! Let’s go home first.”

“Okay!”

Ye Luilie’s smile became brighter.

Go home.

Why did these two words sound so nice when they came out of her mouth?

To Ye Luilie, the General’s residence was just a temporary resting place after the end of the March and war.

After all, he had spent almost all his time in the military camp since he was nine years old.

The General’s residence was more his responsibility. After all, he had a big family to support, and they were all pitiful people…

At this moment, when she said ‘go home’, his eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and the surging feeling in his heart even made Ye Luilie feel at a loss.

He did not know why it was like this. How could it be like this after just a few days of being together?

In the confusion of Ye Luilie’s self-doubt, Yun Chunuan got on her horse.

Ye Luilie held the reins with one hand and a wild vegetable with a fur coat in the other. Along the way, he was doubting life.

Unknowingly, the two of them walked into the market from the main road.

On both sides of the street, hawkers were peddling along the street. There were people selling rouge, cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, and all kinds of food. Other than pastries, most of them were meat.

Some were setting up stalls on the street, while others were walking around with loads.

Both men and women were tall and sturdy.

The horse stopped at the corner of the street. On the horse’s back, Yun Chunuan was already dumbfounded.

This was the first time that she felt like she had traveled through time…

“Oh my God! Isn’t that the General? When did the General come back?”

A vendor at the intersection immediately noticed Ye Luilie. He was so excited that it was as if he had seen his family.

The people of Bian Liao were all very loud. With the vendor’s shout, the others also noticed Ye Luilie.

For a moment, regardless of whether they were men or women, vendors or customers, they all surrounded him.

The vendors packed up the things they sold and gave them to Ye Luilie. The customers also brought out the things they had not had time to eat or use and gave them to Ye Luilie.

No matter how Ye Luilie refused, the peddlers would run away after they stuffed the food in his hands. He could not do anything but accept them.

The people were as passionate as fire. They were full of respect for the great General who had been guarding the frontier fortress and protecting the country.

This respect was not the kind of blind worship. No one knelt down or flattered him. Even when they saw the Little Princess on the horse, they only showed a hint of surprise and did not make anyone uncomfortable at all.

The people offered their small gifts one after another and returned to their respective places to continue their work.

When there were only two people left on the street corner, Ye Luilie was carrying a lot of gifts.

He raised his eyes to look at the Little Princess on the horse and smiled helplessly. “I didn’t pay attention and ended up here. The people of Bian Liao nation are a little enthusiastic. You’re not scared, are you?”

Yun Chunuan quickly shook her head. How could she be scared?

She was even affected by the emotions of the people. The way she looked at the barbarian General was filled with respect.

How much did a person have to pay in order to get the people to love him so sincerely?

There was no power, no oppression. There was only sincere respect.

Yun Chunuan recalled how he had been shirtless during the day.

At that time, she was only concerned with fear and neglected the scars all over his body.

There were a few places that were fatal…

So, how could there be love for no reason?

It was all earned with his life.

Although Bian Liao was not rich, from the peace and harmony that she just witnessed, it could be seen that the people of Bian Liao were really, really happy and satisfied.

They were indeed very lucky to be protected by a General who loved the people like a son and did not bully the weak.

“General Ye Luilie, you are great!”
