At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

The little kid back then grew up to be a successful person, working in government and fighting for the people's interests.

Unfortunately, time is merciless and makes people grow old.

The young trees are getting taller and taller, but these old guys are getting closer and closer to being buried in the ground...

"Yuheng has met Uncle Zhao."

Xie Yuheng bowed deeply, and after standing up, he greeted her again, "I never thought that Uncle Zhao still remembered Yuheng."

Zhao Zheng laughed, "Hahaha, he's still your second brother."

"He often writes to me. He only mentions his own affairs briefly, but writes a lot about you."

"Besides, our Marquis Jiangling is extremely talented, who can forget your name?"

As Zhao Zheng spoke, he used his other hand to slightly prop up his upper body and waved to Xie Yuheng.

"Good boy, come here and let me take a look."

Xie Yuheng followed his instructions, walked closer, and allowed Zhao Zheng to look at him carefully.

Zhao Zheng reached out and pinched Xie Yuheng's forearm. "Look... you're still the same as when you were a kid."

"This forearm feels quite strong, it doesn't look sick."

"It seems that the rumor that Marquis Jiangling will not live past the age of adulthood is just a rumor."

Xie Yuheng looked at Zhao Zheng with a smile on his face, and his heart seemed to be blocked by a piece of water-soaked cotton.

Since they joined the team, the veteran has never mentioned how he...

She asked softly, "Yuheng brought medicine from Xinglin Pavilion. Can you take a look at Uncle Zhao's injuries?"

The smile on Zhao Zheng's face froze. He had just moved too much, and perhaps the wound had split open again...

He was racking his brains to think of how to refuse.

Chu Chen nodded in agreement, "On the way here, I asked the deputy general where General Zhao was injured, but he just laughed it off and said that I would know when I saw him."

The guard standing by had red eyes and a trembling voice, "The general was wounded in the lower back, with a slash that went all the way to the thigh."

"The wound was very deep and a lot of blood flowed that day. The military doctor said at the time that if the bleeding could not be stopped, the general would, would..."

He couldn't say any more, so he squatted down, covering his face and crying silently.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little solemn for a moment, and even the deputy general had tears in his eyes. He looked at the top of the tent and blinked frantically to drive back the tears.

Seeing that everyone was unable to hide their sorrow, Zhao Zheng sighed, "In a war, it's inevitable that there will be injuries. What's the big deal?"

"Besides, I am still alive and well, and I haven't lost any limbs. I am very lucky."

Chu Chen frowned, "What on earth is going on? How did we encounter an assassin?!"

"This is a long story, but I do have a question."

"General, please speak."

"Among the Wusun caravan entering the capital, there is a man named Chu Qingyan."

Xie Yuheng nodded, "There is indeed such a person, and he once told me that Fusang was also involved."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng snorted in disdain.

"The Wusun coalition is now fighting for Chu Tianchen's son, Chu Qingyan's father - Chu Yu. They are fighting to regain the throne and restore order."

"These people come to the outside of the pass every now and then and shout in unison, promising Chu Yu to ascend the throne and receive high positions and generous salaries."

"The location is very well calculated. It is not within the range of the bed crossbow."

"People in the city were restless, but after a few rounds of rectification, most of them settled down."

"But there are still people who think that it is me who has blocked their path to wealth and success."

Chu Chen was furious when he heard this. "This idiot should be thrown out of the city and left to find his way to fame!"

"Then we will know whether it is a road to promotion and wealth, or a road to death!"

Zhao Zheng did not take his angry words seriously. Moreover, if he really used such tough means to govern the people, it would probably cause greater unrest among the people.

He continued, "On the evening of the second day of the New Year, I was going to make a round and return to the camp as usual."

"On the way, I met an old man and a young boy selling vegetables. The vegetables were all wilted, and it was almost curfew time."

"I thought about how the war had affected people's normal lives, so I paid for all the vegetables myself."

"Who knew there were two butcher knives hidden in the dish..."

Having said this, Zhao Zheng sighed helplessly.

The deputy general then angrily cursed: "What a heartless person! The general had good intentions, but they turned their kindness into hatred!"

"When the general was not prepared, they both drew their swords and slashed at him."

He said, clenching his fists, his eyes red.

"At that time, I had just returned from the bathroom and was some distance away from them. I only had time to shout."

"The general barely dodged the first two blows, and the guards also reacted and drew their swords and rushed forward..."

"Who knew that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind, it is actually a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Several more assassins came out from behind the general, and their swords were fierce and sharp."

"I don't know which kid is playing around and hiding in the corner of a nearby house, watching the fun."

"The general could have escaped when he was chased there..."

"But if you dodge, the knife will hit the child's head, and he will have no choice but to take the blow."

The deputy general finished speaking, raised his hand and roughly wiped away the tears on his face, "If you ask me, the general doesn't have to save that little bastard if he dares to watch the fun."

Zhao Zheng took a few sips of the water from the teacup that Xie Yuheng handed over.

He waved his hand, "What's the point of saving him? The assassin came for me, and he was just an innocent victim."

"We defend our country and our borders for the sake of the next generation of children, so that they will not be displaced..."

Moreover, if he had really dodged at that time, the child would have died tragically.

Being impeached by the military governor and censor was not a big deal. The most important thing was the rebellion of the local people.

It's a dilemma, he has no choice.

Xie Yuheng turned his head and looked at Chu Chen, "Can we reciprocate?"

"Reciprocity?"

Chu Chen paused fanning himself, thought for a moment, and realized what Xiao Hei Xin meant.

He shook his head. "No, the commander is staying in the barracks. If we send someone to assassinate him, isn't that like delivering food?"

Xie Yuheng: "..."

"What I mean is, can we... assassinate a few important officials in Wusun King City?"

Chu Chen still shook his head, "I've tried, but it doesn't work. It's hard to get into the place where their senior officials live."

"As for Chi Yao and the little white-eyed wolf, they are like turtles, hiding in the palace every day. Our people can't kill them."

"Also, when Wusun raised its army this time, the spies did not report back in advance, so I guess a lot of them were killed."

The guards listened to the two people talking in charades and looked confused.

Zhao Zheng and his deputy general did figure out some of the meaning.

I guessed it was related to the hidden forces of His Majesty, but I never thought that the little guy (Marquis Jiangling) also knew about it.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Zhao Zheng said, "I just received the military report from the Ministry of War a few days ago."

"It is said that Goryeo surrendered to Fuso, and there were also Fuso landings in Qingzhou, and the Yizhou army was ambushed."

"I thought that no one would come to support Yumen, but I didn't expect you to come. How many troops did you bring this time?"
