Chapter 936: War and Service, There's No Lack of Hardsh
king, but Qin Qianqian in the room heard him.The door was slammed open with a bang, and Qin Qianqian glared angrily at Zong Bai."Zong, say what you just said again!"Zong Bai, seeing the situation, hur...Zhao Yun glanced at Zong Yu beside him, his gaze falling to the right leg of the latter. He suddenly hesitated, as if wanting to say something but holding back.
Later, Zong.
Suddenly, Zongyu spoke up to interrupt him.
Later, reinforcements arrived and we won.
He's being too superficial and his tone is too flat, Jade Lotus shouted indignantly.
"Big brother, please don't interrupt. I want to hear what General Xiao Zhao has to say; he tells stories better than any storyteller in the teahouse."
Zhuge Yun noticed that Yu Ge didn't want his family to know about his injured right leg, and he nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, later the reinforcements arrived and we wiped out the Wu Meng army, leaving not a single piece of armor behind. You wouldn't believe how exhilarating it was."
"All that pent-up anger finally came out in one clean sweep!"
"These grandchildren are playing dirty tricks and encircling us."
The secret interactions between Zhao Yun and Zong Yu went unnoticed by most of their families, but a few perceptive individuals caught on.
Fang Jinshi didn't even glance at Zong Yu, not even the corner of her eye. Yet, when she rose, she cast a quick look at Zhao Yun.
As the host, it wouldn't be polite to not do this.
"General Xiao Zhao, eat slowly. I'm full and a bit tired. I'll go back to rest first."
Zhao Yun nodded dumbly.
As Fang Jinshi just rose and left, Zong Yu quickly followed suit, putting down his chopsticks and standing up.
"Mother, I'm full too."
He patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, "Eat slowly, drink plenty. It's rare to be able to rest comfortably for a few days."
After finishing his words, he turned and chased after Fang Jinshu's direction.
As soon as the couple left, Mu's smile vanished from his face, replaced by a serious expression as he looked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was taken aback. Just a moment ago, everyone had been in good spirits, but now their expressions had suddenly changed, and they were no longer smiling.
"Uncle, Aunt, why are you staring at me like that"
Zhao Yun dared not meet Mu Shi's gaze directly.
The Mu family is just soft-hearted, she's not stupid. How could she not see that her son had just intentionally interrupted General Xiao Zhao's words
"General Xiao Zhao, I hope you can tell me the truth."
"Go on, finish what you weren't saying before."
I want to know what my son has gone through in the past few years.
Zhao Yun had a difficult expression.
He felt a little regretful, after a few drinks his mouth got loose. Before coming here, Brother Yu had reminded him to speak less, especially about him.
Just recounting some of the dangers he'd faced on the battlefield over the past few years would be enough to bring tears to his aunt's eyes, let alone telling her everything.
War and military service are always difficult. To them, surviving a battle was already a stroke of luck among misfortunes, so the hardships they endured were nothing compared to that.
Zhao Yun hesitated, and Mu Shi smiled and said.
"General Xiao Zhao, my Ah Yu is a taciturn gourd. From a young age, he has been accustomed to swallowing all his hardships and burdens without uttering a word to anyone."
But this time is different. Don't you also hope my daughter-in-law won't divorce Ah Yu because of this
Zhao Yun was speechless. Of course, he didn't want to.
But if You Ge finds out that he's betraying him behind his back, the consequences won't be something he can bear.
Brother Yu's devil training, ten of them couldn't hold on.
Zhuge Yun, with tears streaming down his face in distress, finally gave in to Mu's enticing wine and delicacies. He spilled all about Zong Yu's actions within the army.
"At that time, Brother Yu fractured his right leg severely when he climbed that mountain. His shinbone was broken."
"The snow-capped mountains were a dozen miles from the reinforcements' camp. To avoid alarming the enemy troops ambushing us, he gave up using horses and trekked over a dozen miles on foot to bring us reinforcements."
At this point, everyone's heart suddenly tightened.
Mu's voice trembled.
“You said his fibula was already broken, and he walked ten miles like that”
Zhao Yun nodded, slightly ashamed, and lowered his head.
At that time, the situation was urgent. Every minute delayed meant another brother lost in the mountains. After Yu Ge crossed the snow-capped mountain, he practically ran without stopping. He not only limped to find reinforcements for them, but also ran all the way.
After the battle, a military doctor came to treat him. Zong Yu's broken leg had completely deformed.
A normal person's legs are straight, and his calves bend backwards from the middle, with their feet unable to touch the ground.
The broken body was covered in blood and flesh, with white bones faintly visible.
His pants and shoes were already soaked with blood, which flowed like water. Zongyu didn't utter a single word of pain from beginning to end, nor did he ever leave the battlefield because of his injury.
He didn't allow the medics to treat him until he was sure the enemy had been repelled and everyone else had retreated back to camp.
Even the most hardened men couldn't help but tear up at the sight of his injuries. It must have been excruciating, and he must have disregarded everything else to end up like this. young mistress has done for him.More than an hour later, Fang Jinshu woke up from what should have been a deep sleep. She sat up and called out to Xiaoyue several times, but the room was eerily quiet...
