Riding the Pheonix Chapter 453: 6th brother

Zong Xu actually did not retreat far.

He retreated from the front line, made a big 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 could be enough to deal with Nasu.

As long as the backup is cut off, news of victory will surely come.

However, one evening, an uninvited guest came to the place where he thought he was secretly camping.

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

"Go back to the general and he said his name is Zhong Yue."

Zong Xu felt complicated and finally said: "...invite him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, a middle-aged man followed the guard into the camp.

He was dressed in civilian clothes, had a gentle face, a slender figure, and a calm demeanor.

There was a rattan basket on his back with many fresh herbs in it. He looked like a herb collector walking in the mountains.

The guard retreated, 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 it sounds really unlucky. But for him, Zong Xu only felt filled with emotion.

It is indeed a happy thing for a son of the Zong family to be alive at this age.

A few of his brothers of the same generation died in his early years. Last year, the third youngest also died in the battle, 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 don't you come to me?"

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, then said: "Dad regretted it a long time ago. I know that 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 bad. Pure. I chose a different life, and even deviated from the ancestral precepts of the clan, so that I could no longer bring trouble to the clan."

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

Looking at his brother who had been separated for many years, Zong Xu felt various emotions in his heart.

The ancestral motto of the Zong family is that 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 turned away.

That 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.

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, 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 generals, but people have different talents. For example, Zong Xu can be solved in just one point. And he just doesn't know anything.

Instead of being an unknown small school student, he wants to be a world-famous doctor.

He has no talent as a general and anyone can replace him. But it would be different if he went into medicine, and he believed he could do a better job than most. There is essentially no difference between protecting the homeland and the country and saving the world and the people. Therefore, 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. But if he left home, he would no longer be a member of the clan.

Since then, there has been no Rokuro in the Zong family. When others think about it, they only say that Rokuro 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 miracle 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.

In all, we haven’t seen each other for many years.

"Brother, don't think too much. The Zong family is very good, and I am very good now. Everyone gets what he deserves, which is the best result."

"I can always fail you." Zong Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then asked him, "How did you know I was camping here?"

"I am also a member of the clan, so I know how to judge the traces of marching."

Zhong Yue paused for a moment 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?"

Without any intention of hiding anything, Zhong Yue took out a 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 way when I saw the letter. The person our clan has sacrificed his life to protect ~IndoMTL.com~ is unexpectedly It’s 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 you complain in your heart, you 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 clan for so many years, and I will never be like you, insisting 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 higher, with a hint of anger, "You know that this step is tantamount to crossing the thunder pond, and it is absolutely impossible to step out. Once If you step out, our clan will be doomed."

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, what you want to do is your business. I I won’t force it.”

Zong Xu softened his tone: "Okay, you say it."

Zhong Yue clicked on the letter: "Did dad join the prince's party back then?"

Zong Xu was displeased: "Why do you say that about dad? That incident was an accident in the first place. Dad didn't form a party, he just worked with the prince and convinced him. The prince is the prince, and there is no conflict with the loyal prince. , what’s the problem with being loyal to the prince?”

Zhong Yue nodded: "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. Although the fate has been determined, it will not be until the end. Who knows who will sit in that position. Dad made his decision long ago, isn’t it because he supports the prince more?"

Zong Xu was silent. That’s what I said...

"Now, I will no longer talk about the rights and wrongs of the past. There is another person on the throne now, so let's not mention the past. However, there was love in the past. Grand Master, do you think his heir should be saved?"
