He retreated from the front line, made a large circle, and waited for Sutu in another place.
After leading it personally for more than half a year, he believed that the two boys combined forces were enough to deal with Nasu.
As long as the backup is cut off, the news of victory will surely come.
However, one evening at the place where he thought he was secretly camping, an uninvited guest came.
When he heard the guard coming to report, Zong Xu thought he had heard wrongly: "What did he say his name was?"
"Back to the general, his name is Zhong Yue, that's the miracle doctor Zhong Yue!" the guard said with some excitement.
Zong Xu felt complicated and said: "...please invite him in."
"yes."
Not long after, a middle-aged man followed the guard into the camp.
He was wearing cloth clothes, had a gentle face, and was slender and lean. He carried a rattan basket behind him, which contained many fresh herbs. He looked like an herb gatherer walking in the mountains.
The guard retreated, and Zong Xu stood up involuntarily and walked towards him: "Sixth brother, it's really you..."
The middle-aged man who called himself Zhong Yue bowed his hand to him and said with a smile: "Brother, it's great to see you alive."
Zong Xu was in a complicated mood.
This sentence, if said by others, would inevitably make people unhappy and sound really unlucky. But for him, Zong Xu could only sigh with emotion.
It is indeed a happy thing for a son of the Zong family to be alive at this age.
Several of his brothers of the same generation died in his early years. Last year, the third youngest also died in the war, and half of them did not survive.
"Sixth brother, why are you here?" Zong Xu pointed and asked him to sit down.
"I have been in the northwest for a long time." Zhong Yue took off the medicine basket on his back, sat down and said, "In order to write a pharmacopoeia, I have been practicing medicine in the northwest for the past few years."
"Then why didn't you come to me earlier?"
Zhong Yue smiled: "As I said back then, after leaving the Zong family, I will never go back."
Zong Xu was silent for a long time and then said: "Dad regretted it a long time ago. I know he has been thinking about you since then."
"I don't blame dad." Zhong Yue said calmly, "When dad was buried, I went to see him off and secretly went to his grave to kowtow. I didn't go back to the clan, just because I didn't want the clan's reputation to become impure. I
I chose a different life and even deviated from the ancestral precepts of the clan, so I shouldn’t bring trouble to the clan anymore.”
"Oh, it's been so many years and you're still so stubborn."
Seeing his brother who had been separated for many years, Zong Xu felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
According to the ancestral teachings of the Zong family, the son of the Zong family went to the border at the age of twelve to protect his family and country throughout his life.
His brothers and uncles all obeyed this precept.
But one person deviated.
He is his sixth brother.
His sixth brother has liked studying medicine since he was a child, but he doesn't like practicing martial arts. No matter how hard he fights, he can't change that.
He joined the army at the age of twelve. In four years, other brothers were promoted to captain, but he was still a soldier.
When he was sixteen years old, he told his father that he planned to retire from the army and go into medicine.
My father was so angry that he broke several sticks, but he never let go.
Seeing that he was beaten half to death, the brothers discussed it and asked him to persuade him.
But in the end, it was Zong Xu who was persuaded.
The sixth brother told him that in the past four years, he had worked hard and finally found that even if he passed the qualifications, he could only make it into a small school.
The Zong family produces military generals, but there are differences in talent between people. For example, Zong Xu knows a little bit, but he knows nothing.
Instead of being an unknown small school doctor, he would rather be a world-famous doctor.
He has no talent in the army and can be replaced by anyone. But it is different if he becomes a doctor. He believes that he can do better than most people. There is essentially no difference between protecting the home and the country and saving the world and the people. Therefore, he
Although he violated the ancestral precepts, he had a clear conscience.
Zong Xu thought about it and felt that what his sixth brother said made sense, so he boldly went to ask his father.
After all, his father was reluctant to beat him to death and allowed him to leave home. However, if he left home, he would no longer be a member of the clan.
Since then, there has been no more Liulang in the Zong family. When others think about it, they only say that Liulang was negligent in martial arts and died early in the battle.
Zong Xu saw his sixth brother again many years later. By then, his reputation as a miraculous doctor had spread all over the world. Due to the tight war, he came to the border to work as a military doctor for a period of time, and then left again.
All in all, I haven't seen him for many years.
"Brother, you don't have to think too much. The Zong family is very good, and I am very good now. Everyone gets what he deserves. This is the best result."
"I can always defeat you." Zong Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then asked him, "How did you know I was camping here?"
Zhong Yue smiled and said: "I am also a member of the clan, so I know how to judge the traces of marching."
He paused and then said: "Actually, I came here specifically to see Big Brother this time."
"specially?"
Zhong Yue nodded: "A few days ago, I received a letter from a good friend of mine. He asked me to lobby you."
"Lobbying!" Zong Xu frowned, "What does this mean?"
Zhong Yue had no intention of hiding anything and took out the letter and handed it to Zong Xu.
Zong Xu read it quickly, his expression changed for a moment, he was both shocked and sad.
Zhong Yue looked at his expression and sighed slightly: "Brother, are you very sad? To tell you the truth, I thought the same thing when I saw the letter. The people of our clan who sacrificed their lives to protect are actually like this..."
"Sixth brother!" Zong Xu shouted and stopped him, "We are loyal to that position and it has nothing to do with anything else. If we complain in our hearts, it will not be pure."
Zhong Yue looked at him quietly, and then said after a while: "Brother, I am different from you. I have been away from the Zong family for so many years, and I will never be like you and insist on being loyal first."
"Then what are you doing here? To persuade me to deviate from the teachings of my ancestors?" Zong Xu's voice was slightly louder, with a little anger, "You know that this step is tantamount to crossing a thunder pond, and you must not step out. Once you step out, we will
The Zong family is finished."
Zhong Yue's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Brother, you are the head of the family. You have the final say. I am here to say what I want to say. After I have said it, it is your business to do what you want. I will not force you.
.”
Zong Xu softened his tone: "Okay, you say it."
Zhong Yue clicked on the letter: "Did dad join Prince Sihuai's party back then?"
Zong Xu was dissatisfied: "Why do you say that about dad? That incident was an accident in the first place. Dad did not form a party, he just worked with the prince and convinced him. The prince is the prince, and if there is no conflict with the loyal prince, he will be loyal to the prince.
What's the problem?"
Zhong Yue said: "I know what kind of person my father is, but in the eyes of others, what he did at that time was no different from forming a clique. In the end, who knows who will sit in that position. Dad has been there for a long time
After making the decision, isn’t it because he supports Prince Sihuai more?”
Zong Xu was silent. That's what he said...
"Now, I will not discuss the rights and wrongs of the past. There is another person on the throne now, so let's not mention the past. However, since there is love, brother, tell me, should his heir be saved?" (To be continued)
