Zongxu actually did not retreat.

When he retreated from the front line, he made a big circle and waited for Sutu in another place.

After taking it by hand for more than half a year, he believed that the two boys were enough to deal with Nasu together.

As long as the backup is cut off, the news of victory will be waiting for you.

However, in what he thought was a secret camping place, an uninvited guest came one evening.

Hearing the guard's report, Zong Xu thought he had heard it wrong: "What did he say his name was?" ”

"Back to the general, he said his name was Zhong Yue."

Zong Xu was in a complicated mood, and finally said, "...... Let him in. ”

"Yes."

A short time later, a middle-aged man followed the guards into the camp.

He was dressed in a cloth robe, with a gentle face, a slender and thin figure, and a calm demeanor.

There was a rattan basket behind him, and there were many fresh herbs in it, and he looked like a medicine collector walking in the mountains.

The guard retreated, and Zong Xu involuntarily stood up and walked towards him: "Sixth brother, it's really you ......"

The middle-aged man who called himself Zhong Yue arched his hand towards him and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's great to see you alive. ”

Zong Xu has mixed feelings.

This sentence, if someone else says it, will inevitably make people unhappy, and it sounds really unlucky. But for him, Zong Xu only felt a lot of emotion.

The boy of the Zong family, it is indeed a happy thing to be alive at this age.

Several of his brothers of the same generation died in his early years, and the third child also died in battle last year, and half of them did not survive.

"Sixth brother, why are you here?" Zong Xu pointed and asked him to sit down.

"I've been in the Northwest for a long time." Zhong Yue untied the medicine basket on his back, sat down and said, "In order to write the pharmacopoeia, I have been practicing medicine in the northwest for the past few years. ”

"Then why didn't you come to me?"

Zhong Yue smiled: "As I said back then, after leaving the door of the sect, I will not go back." ”

Zong Xu was silent for a long time before he said: "Dad regretted it a long time ago, I know that he has been thinking about you since then." ”

"I didn't complain about my father." Zhong Yue said calmly, "When my father went out of the funeral, I went to see him off, and I also secretly kowtowed to his grave. I don't want to go back to the Zong family, but I don't want the reputation of the Zong family to become impure. I chose a different life, and even deviated from the ancestral teachings of the Zong family, so that I could no longer bring the Zong family. ”

"Alas, it's been so many years, and you're still so stubborn."

Looking at his younger brother who had been separated for many years, Zong Xu felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.

Zong's ancestral training, Zong's son-in-law went to the border at the age of twelve, and defended the country all his life.

His brothers and uncles all obeyed this discipline.

But there was one person who turned his back.

It was his sixth brother.

His sixth brother likes to study medicine since he was a child, but he doesn't like to practice martial arts, so he can't change it no matter how he fights.

He joined the army at the age of twelve, and in four years, other brothers were promoted to lieutenant at the lowest, but he was good, he was still a small soldier.

At the age of sixteen, he went to his father and said that he planned to leave the army and go to medicine.

My father was so angry that he broke a few sticks, but he never let go.

Seeing that he was beaten half to death, the brothers consulted and told him to persuade him.

But as a result, it was Zongxu 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 had qualifications, he could be a small school at most.

The clan produces military generals, but there is a high and low level of talent between people. For example, Zongshu is a one-point understanding. And he just doesn't know anything.

Rather than being an obscure schoolboy, he wants to be a world-famous doctor.

He has no talent for generals, and anyone can replace him. But it would be different if he practiced medicine, he believed he was doing better than most. Protecting the family and defending the country is essentially no different from helping the world and saving the people. Therefore, although he violated the ancestral teachings, he had a clear conscience.

Zong Xu thought about it and felt that what the sixth brother said made sense, so he had the courage to beg his father.

In the end, his father was reluctant to beat him to death, and allowed him to leave home, but after leaving home, he was no longer a member of the clan.

Since then, there has been no Rokuro in the Zong family. When others remembered it, they only said that Rokuro was negligent in martial arts and died early.

Zongxu didn't see the sixth brother again many years later, when his name as a miracle doctor had spread all over the world, because of the tight war, he came to the border to work as a military doctor for a while, and then left.

I haven't seen each other for many years.

"Big brother, don't think about it, the Zong family is very good, I'm fine now, everyone has their place, it's the best result."

"I can't always tell you." Zong Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked him again, "How do you know that I am camped here?" ”

"I'm also a member of the Zong family, so I still know how to judge the traces of the march."

Zhong Yue paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I came to find the eldest brother this time. ”

"Deliberately?"

Zhong Yue nodded: "A few days ago, I received a letter from a friend of mine. He asked me to lobby you. ”

"Lobbying!" Zong Xu frowned, "What does this mean?" ”

Zhong Yue had no intention of concealing it, took out a letter, and handed it to Zong Xu.

Zong Xu read it quickly, and his expression changed for a while, both shocked and sad.

Zhong Yue looked at him and sighed slightly: "Isn't the eldest brother very sad?" To tell you the truth, when I read the letter, I thought the same thing. The people of our clan who have paid their lives to protect it are actually like this......"

"Sixth brother!" Zong Xu snorted and stopped him, "We are loyal to that position, and it has nothing to do with anything else. If you complain, you are not pure. ”

Zhong Yue looked at him quietly, and said after a while: "Big brother, I am different from you, after leaving the Zong family for so many years, I will no longer be like you, and I will strive to be loyal first." ”

"So what are you going to do? Convince me to deviate from my teachings? Zong Xu's voice was slightly higher, with a slight anger, "You know that this step is tantamount to crossing the thunder pool, and it is absolutely impossible to step out." Once we step out, our clan is finished. ”

Zhong Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Big brother, you are the head of the family, you have the final say." I'm here to say what I'm going to say, and when I'm done, what you're going to do is your business, and I won't force it. ”

Zong Xu eased his tone: "Okay, you say." ”

Zhong Yue clicked on the letter: "Back then, did my father join the prince's party?" ”

Zong Xu was displeased: "Why do you also say that about Dad?" That incident was originally an accident, my father didn't form a party, he just worked with the prince and believed him. The crown prince is the prince, and if there is no conflict with the loyal monarch, what is the problem of being loyal to the prince? ”

Zhong Yue nodded: "I know what kind of person my father is, but in the eyes of others, at that time, my father's actions were no different from forming a party." Although the name has been decided, who knows who will sit in that position until the end. Dad made a decision early, isn't he more supportive of the prince? ”

Zongxu was silent. That's the way it goes......

"Now, I don't talk about the old things anymore. Now there is another person on the throne, and the past is not mentioned. But, in the past, there was affection, Dazong, you say, should his heirs be saved? ”
