Brother Zhuo started from the bottom, and with this ability and the support and experience of the old generals, he controlled the entire Fujian along the way. Of course, these all came at a price.

During a battle, Zhuo Ge single-handedly rushed into the enemy's encirclement in order to save a group of brothers who were besieged, and brought them back. The price was to be pierced in the back by an arrow from a fifth-grade master, and he was almost stabbed in the heart.

His pulse was up, but he was protected by the dharma robes on his body and Huilan's good medicine kept him alive.

Despite this, he was ill for almost a month before he gradually recovered. This battle allowed him to completely win over the hearts of the soldiers and truly recognized him. Although he did not have an official position, everyone was willing to listen to him.

He had been feeling groggy for the past few days since he was hit by the arrow, and the situation was very critical. The old general had already decided to have someone go to the capital overnight to bring back an imperial doctor.

During those days when mother and son were connected, Huilan kept having nightmares, dreaming of her son being surrounded by others, covered in blood, and still struggling to hold on.

After hearing this, Huilan burst into tears and kept crying. Brother Zhuo was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, so he hugged his mother and comforted her.

"Don't cry. I'm fine. Isn't this good? If you do this, I won't dare to tell you the truth anymore."

Brother Zhuo carefully but awkwardly wiped his mother's tears.

"Don't rush out alone, silly boy."

Huilan flat-mouthed and complained aggrievedly about her son.

"On that one occasion, it was due to special circumstances, not a show of courage."

"You're asking too much. The battlefield is changing rapidly. How can we get there in time?"

Li Chengze rolled his eyes at Huilan.

"Mom, there is no need to worry. This time you will be a general. It will be a little better to lead troops in battles, and you won't be fighting alone anymore."

Brother Gan also tried to comfort her.

Huilan lowered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable and disappointed, but still smiled and said to her sons: "I know you are all good children, don't worry about me.

I support you to explore the world, I can bear this, and I won’t be unable to bear it anymore, but what about your marriage, Brother Zhuo?"

"Let's get engaged this time. I'll come back next year to get married. This time I can replace him with another deputy general who can be promoted, so we can rotate."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Since you like the Xu family girl, you can discuss a countermeasure yourself. If you agree, let her mother or grandmother come to the palace to discuss it with us."

Huilan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

The mother and son chatted for a long time, and Brother Zhuo's tricks finally made his mother laugh. Then he breathed out. Seeing his mother crying uncomfortably, the son felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

At noon, the whole family had a reunion dinner together. It had not been this neat for a long time. Huilan seemed very happy and specially asked someone to prepare spiritual food for the children.

At night, Huilan went to see Brother Zhuo. After checking her pulse, she found that there were many hidden injuries and needed to be treated properly.

"I'll give you acupuncture first. If you don't clear the hidden wounds, it will be difficult to advance. Moreover, it will be very painful when you get older."

"Okay, I listen to my mother, don't be sad, my son is fine."

Brother Zhuo held her hand and smiled honestly.

"My precious son has lost weight. I asked Liu Niang to make some delicious food for you. There are hot springs here for your recovery. You can stay here.

You happened to be accompanying me and your father. He was very worried about you. He couldn't sleep all those days and didn't dare to tell me. He had endured a lot alone."

"I know. I stayed here. I saw that my father looked good. I thought he would feel sad and lost if he retired. After all, he is used to being busy."

Brother Zhuo lay on the soft couch and received acupuncture treatment from Huilan to treat the hidden wounds.

"You came back late, and you were really disappointed and uncomfortable at first, but you also know that he will never change his decision, and if he says he quits, he will never go back.

It’s not fun anymore, and my mood has changed. After offering sacrifices to heaven, our restraints have been relaxed a lot. Your father has started practicing again, and his mood has gradually improved."

"Then I'll stay and ask him for advice."

Brother Zhuo smiled and nodded.

"By the way, you have time to visit the old man of the Xu family. I brought him some recuperative medicine. You can help me deliver it and say hello to me."

"Okay, I'll submit the post tomorrow."

"Well, after you get married, do you plan to take your wife away or keep her? It would be a good thing to take her away so that you can reunite nearby."

"No, stay in the capital. The situation is different. People from the north may not be used to the humidity at the seaside. In fact, she can't see me even if she goes there. We often go to the sea for inspections. We go there for several months, and she is also at the mansion when she goes there.

Even if she lives here, I can't care about her. It's better to be safe in the capital, so I can rest assured."

"That's fine. In that case, just stay in the capital and let your sister-in-law take care of you."

"Okay, I will go to the palace tomorrow. I have brought gifts to my brother and sister-in-law, and I will also go to pay a visit. I haven't come back yet for the wedding ceremony, so I should pay a formal visit."

"You are right, your sister-in-law is a nice person."

"Mom, I want to see my elder brother and try to persuade him."

Brother Zhuo is actually the one who cares most about affection among the brothers. He has a simple and tolerant personality.

"You can go if you want, but don't have too much hope. Your father executed the Qian family with his own hands. This is a hurdle you won't be able to overcome."

"I just wanted to go and have a look. It's not good to stay like this for the rest of my life."

Brother Zhuo sighed.

"I have never seen the little girl from the Xu family. How often can you bring her here for me to meet?"

"I'll bring it to you after I've said everything."

When Brother Zhuo talked about the little girl from the Xu family, his eyes seemed to light up.

"I like it so much."

Huilan asked him funny.

"Well, she is different from ordinary girls. She is careless but very smart and cute."

Brother Zhuo's ears turned red in embarrassment.

"Okay, if you like me, I'll marry you back and be your wife."

"Um."

Brother Zhuo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, with a face full of joy. He was still a little boy in front of his mother.

After the acupuncture treatment, Huilan specially prepared an ointment for him and took a medicated bath, and performed special conditioning for him alone, which would help him recover faster.

Brother Zhuo visited the Xu family the next day and told her that he wanted to marry his girl.

In the past few days, I have been running around everywhere, meeting friends, visiting the clan, going to the palace to discuss matters, etc. It has been very busy.

Huilan didn't care about him. He had a solid physical foundation and it would take about a month for him to be completely healed without leaving any hidden injuries.

Sister Xin's appetite has improved. Huilan's spiritual chef is still at Zhuangzi and will make some spiritual food for everyone to enjoy every day. With the supply of spiritual food, Sister Xin is not afraid of getting fat after eating a lot, and her complexion is also very good.

Wang Rui was away from the farm and went home to sort out the household affairs. Someone colluded with outsiders to spread the news. The cause was related to his cousin. Mr. Wang and his wife went back to investigate and found out that there were many things. Unknowingly, someone reached into the house.

Already.

Taking advantage of everything that happened this time, Wang Rui also went home to straighten things out to prevent Sister Xin from encountering bad things when she went back.
