Speaking of Sun Yun having stayed in Luoyang for almost a month, Sun Zhi and others from Bingzhou also arrived at the border of Jinyang tonight.

As he prepared to return to Yanmen, Sun Zhi's mood became increasingly heavy. He didn't know how to tell his mother about his father's death, and he didn't even dare to see his mother.

"What? Are you still thinking about your father?"

Just when Sun Zhi's face looked gloomy, a familiar voice came.

Sun Zhi turned to look and found that it was actually an actor. The actor had a pale face, looked like a scholar and was riding a war horse. His skinny appearance really didn't match his appearance.

Seeing that it was his own military advisor, Sun Zhi quickly pulled the reins of the opponent's horse and said in a panic: "Commander, why are you out? Now that you are not in good health, you should go back to the carriage."

Faced with Sun Zhi's concern, Xi Zhong just smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I know my body very well. It's just a long journey. It's right to take advantage of this time to move around more."

After hearing what the other party said, Sun Zhi no longer forced himself, but still held the horse's rope with his hand to prevent the horse from suddenly rioting. After all, in his impression, the military counselor's equestrian skills were not very good...

Regarding Sun Zhi's move, Xi Zhong did not refuse, and said: "I'm getting ready to return to Yanmen. I haven't seen him for a few months, but I suddenly miss him a lot."

"Yes, a lot has happened in the past few months..." Sun Zhiye replied with a bitter look on his face.

Looking at the moonlight on the horizon, Sun Zhi said: "Military advisor, do you think I am really qualified for my current position..."

When Sun Zhi asked, Xi Zhong replied: "Why are you not confident?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence. I, I just think that maybe the second brother is the most suitable to lead the Yanmen Army. After all, he is the one who contributed the most to the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

After finishing speaking, Sun Zhi found that Xi Zhong didn't respond at all, and suddenly looked at the thin scholar strangely.

"Then Young Master, you think so, why do you still put this burden on yourself?"

When Xi Zhong saw Sun Zhi looking at him, he asked back.

"It's not because..." Sun Zhigang wanted to answer, but Xi Zhong said it back.

"Then if you were asked to go back to the past, when General Sun Xiong died, would you still choose the path you are taking now?"

"I..." Sun Zhi was also thinking in his heart, if it were that time, would he still choose the current path? Maybe he would, after all, this important

The responsibility should be shouldered by oneself, and this is also the responsibility of the elder brother.

Perhaps because he understood the hidden meaning of Xi Zhong, Sun Zhi's originally gloomy eyes became brighter.

Seeing the change in Sun Zhi's expression, Xi Zhong also smiled and said nothing, and after a long time he said: "Looking at the current marching speed, we should be able to return to Yanmen County early tomorrow morning, so be prepared."

After Xi Zhong left, Sun Zhi also held the reins in his hands tightly, and the heaviness in his heart just now also dissipated.

Early that morning, the Yanmen Army finally saw the city.

"Brother, we are back home." Sun Lie was very depressed along the way when he first heard the news of his father's death. But now when he saw Yanmen, he felt that all the previous depression had been swept away.

"Well, I'm home." Sun Zhi looked at the city that his father had been guarding, with tears in his eyes, and replied softly.

Perhaps because they saw Yanmen County, the Yanmen Army, which had been marching slowly at first, also started to walk quickly, but after a while they had arrived at the gate of Yanmen County.

Last night, Xi Zhong had asked Sun Zhi to inform Xie An of Yanmen County about the route in advance. Now the gate of Yanmen County was also wide open, and besides Xie An there were several familiar figures under the city gate.

Seeing that familiar figure, Sun Zhi's originally calm mood sank again. He got off the horse in a hurry and whispered: "Mother... the child is back."

However, what surprised Sun Zhi was that Li, who was his mother, did not have any intention of being angry. Instead, she tenderly stepped forward and stroked Sun Zhi's determined cheek and said, "It'll be good to come back... Just come back."

.”

"Where is your father?" Li asked again, which made Sun Zhi's words suddenly heavy. He glanced back with difficulty, not knowing how to tell the news of his father's death.

Seeing Sun Zhi's eyes and stiff movements, she understood something without him having to answer. In response, Li's face only turned slightly pale, and then she smiled forcefully and said, "Really, but you can just come back."

Listening to Li's strange words, Sun Zhizheng wanted to speak but was stopped by Xie An beside him.

"teacher?"

"Needless to say, the news about General Sun Xiong's death in battle has been sent back by the Second Young Master in a letter long ago." After Xie An finished speaking, Sun Zhi suddenly looked at Li's back.

It turns out that the second brother had already made arrangements long ago...but I was still thinking and didn't know how to speak. As the elder brother, I really failed in my duty.

Just when Sun Zhi was worried about himself

When he neglected his duty, Sun Lie who was behind him also stepped forward to speak.

"Brother, I'm going back first." Sun Lie was in a very heavy mood now. After saying something to Sun Zhi, he walked towards the mansion.

"Brother..." A light voice sounded, and Sun Zhi looked at his little sister.

"Father...Father, is he really?"

"Fourth sister..." Sun Zhi looked at this sister who was favored by him and others, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Perhaps seeing the embarrassment in Sun Zhi's eyes, Sun Qing wiped her eyes firmly and said, "It's okay, brother, I'll go back first."

Looking at their backs, Sun Zhi's expression was also very gloomy. Perhaps because of the mention of Sun Xiong, everyone in the Yanmen Army also had a gloomy look on his face, without any sense of joy at returning from a victorious battle.

"My eldest son, please go back home. I will be in charge of the Yanmen Army."

Xie An opened his mouth and said.

Sun Zhi also understood Xie An's kindness and said, "Okay, teacher, I'll trouble you."

...

As Sun Zhi returned with the Yanmen Army, within these few hours, Sun Zhi brought his father's body back, and then Li, his mother, was responsible for handling the funeral affairs.

As for himself, he was dealing with the affairs of Zhao Feiyan and the others. Due to the special relationship between Lin Chong's family members, Sun Zhi did not tell anyone else. Even Sun Lie's mother only thought that this was a family she rescued on the road.

Moreover, Lin Chong's family, Zhao Feiyan, Zhang Ling and others had already been settled in the mansion. After everything was settled, Sun Zhi got up and went back to the mansion. During this period, Sun Zhi had no intention of stopping, but walked towards Sun Qing's residence.

As soon as I entered, I saw a familiar figure. The woman was wearing a green dress, her face was clear and elegant, and she was sitting in front of the stone table with a pair of phoenix eyes, her face looking bitter.

"Thank you, girl?"

Sun Zhi recognized the other party, it was Xie Daoyun who had been engaged to Sun Yun some time ago.

Hearing the voice, Xie Daoyun also raised his eyes to look at Sun Zhi, then stood up and said: "My little daughter has met the eldest son."

"Okay, don't be so restrained. After a while, you will be our Sun family's daughter-in-law."

Xie Daoyun's face flushed in response to Sun Zhi's teasing.

"Miss Xie, are you here?"

After hearing Sun Zhi's inquiry, Xie Daoyun said: "Because sister Sun Qing..."
