Chapter 2420: Persuasion

Every father is a towering figure in the eyes of their children, their hero, their role model, and Ye Zuo has perfectly exceeded Ye Cheng's expectations for himself, instantly winning Ye Cheng's heart.
"My mother didn't lie to me. Father really is a powerful and heroic figure," Ye Cheng said admiringly to Ye Zhuo.
"Yes, your mother didn't lie to you. However, from now on, you shouldn't call me father, but rather father king. I am the Crown Prince of Jingguo, and you have two brothers and one sister. They will be very happy to see you."
Yecheng nodded with a seemingly understanding expression, and the conversation between father and son slowly became smoother. Yecheng began to rely on this unfamiliar father.
After leaving Yezhuo, Yecheng immediately found his Yeye Baskerville. When Yecheng heard from his own mouth that Yezhuo was willing to leave with him, Baskerville danced with excitement.
"What is there to hesitate about, foolish child? This is something that many people dream of. You are still young and don't understand how powerful your father, the King, is. Following him is much better than following Ye Ye. Jing Country is a strong nation, one of the most powerful in the world. No, they are even the strongest by annihilating Da Dian Country. Your father holds a high position in Jing Country, surpassing all others. By following him, you can obtain a noble status, learn the most advanced knowledge, and enjoy the best life. Your mother has always been reluctant to tell you who your father is because she felt that the gap between her and your father was too great. Your father has never known about your existence, fearing that it would displease him. Now it seems that your mother has been overthinking everything. Your father is a gentle person. With you following him, I can finally feel at ease."
巴希尔的内心虽然也有些舍不得叶城，可是他心里却很清楚，跟着叶灼离开的话，叶城将来的发展才会是最好的。
跟着自己，那叶城什么都得不到，可是跟着叶灼，那就是世子，身份尊贵，而且接触到的都是巴希尔想都不敢想的。
Jingga has heard from others, although he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, that living in such a powerful country like Bashar means there's no need to worry about foreign invasion, and Yecheng's growth will be more enjoyable.
"But if I leave, there will be no one to take care of you." Ye Cheng pouted, expressing concern.
Basheer laughed heartily, "Ye Ye, you're not a useless person. You don't need to take care of anything. Go in peace, and Ye Ye will come to see you when there's time."
叶城有些纠结，“耶耶能跟我一起离开吗？”
“那不行哟，兰斯特还有那么多族人需要耶耶照顾，耶耶不能丢下他们哟，你的母亲乃是兰斯特的首领，她牺牲了自己才保全了这么多族人，耶耶要代替她照顾好这些族人，要不然你母亲会怪罪耶耶的。丹尼尔，不，以后要叫你叶城了，你要好好的跟着你的父王，他是一个有大本事的人，你要听话，不要惹他生气，当然了，如果你在景国受了委屈你一定要告诉耶耶，耶耶虽然老了，但是也不能看着我们的小叶城被别人欺负你说是不是。”
Ye Cheng smiled shyly and said, "No, my father said he will take care of me. I just can't bear to leave Ye Ye."
"Silly child, there's nothing to be sad about. We can still see each other, whenever you miss Ye Ye, just write me a letter and Ye Ye will come to see you, okay?" Baher gently rubbed Ye Cheng's head and said tenderly.
Finally, Ye Cheng chose to follow Ye Zhuo back to the capital, as expected. Although it was strange for the wise king to suddenly have an additional child, Ye Zhuo did not bring much attention to this matter, so not many people actually knew about Ye Cheng's identity.
After resting for several days on Baka Wei Island, the army resumed their journey once the supplies were replenished. They then proceeded to Yunyang City Port for landing. Due to the large number of troops, it was not possible for all of them to return to the capital. Therefore, each army only retained Wu Wan's army to accompany Ye Zhuo back to the capital.
因为大军回京不方便坐火车，所以叶灼还是选择带着大军慢慢骑行回京，当然了叶灼也有意趁这个机会好好的带领叶城看了一看景国，重新认识一下景国。
After learning that General Ye Zhuo's army had landed and would soon return to the capital, the entire city of Kyoto was filled with joy and celebration, resembling a festive atmosphere. Every household was adorned with lights and decorations, without the need for any official organization from the court. The people had spontaneously prepared to welcome the triumphant return of the army.
Meanwhile, in the righteous king's mansion where the news was received, Lady Ying Ting, as the queen, naturally shed tears of joy. Although she frequently heard news about Ye Zhuo and knew that he was in danger during his battles, she couldn't truly let go of her worries until she saw him in person.
"Sister, it's been nearly five years. Finally, these heartless father and son duo know how to come back. These unfaithful people, do they know how we have been living these past years?" Unlike Ying Ting who cried tears of joy, An Miao Yi, after learning this news, although inwardly happy, couldn't stop criticizing verbally, as if there was a feeling of wanting to tear them apart if they dare to stand in front of me.
Yingting looked at An Miaoyi, who was talking with a hypocritical attitude, and burst into tears and laughter. "You, clearly feeling happier than anyone else in your heart, still have to pretend to be angry for others to see. Father and son haven't returned yet. According to the news from the palace, they will arrive in the capital tomorrow morning. This child Yan Tan has suffered a lot outside. You, as the mother, should take good care of him. You know how dangerous it is on the battlefield. How did Tan'er survive all these years? Now thinking about it, I shouldn't have let Tan'er choose this path."
"Humph, who cares about him? He chose his own path, even if he has to kneel, he must see it through," An Miaoyi pouted and said hypocritically.
Ying Ting smiled and knew that An Miaoyi was a person with a sharp tongue but a kind heart. After all, Ye Tan was her own son, how could she not care?
