"grandmother."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunzhi, who was still sitting upright on the chair even though he had no legs, and said, "Go home."
Zhou Yunzhi's eyes were slightly red, "Yeah."
A place with family is their home.
At this time, only the Zhou family and Grandma Wang who were beside Ji Mingzhu were left in the entire hall. On the fifth day of the lunar month, Chunque and Dong Ge were guarding the door, while on the seventh and sixteenth day of the lunar month, they were guarding the front and back yard doors.
"It seems that your sister has told you."
Zhou Yunzhi nodded silently.
Ji Mingzhu and Zhou Yunshu also had a good understanding. She looked at her grandson and said, "From now on, you have to help your sister more."
She looked at Zhou Yunshu, who was standing next to Li Jialan, and said to Zhou Yunzhi: "Now your sister needs your help, do you understand?"
Zhou Yunzhi continued to nod.
Ji Mingzhu saw that Wu Yue, who was sitting on the right side, was looking at Zhou Yunzhi but hesitated to speak, so she directly said to Zhou Yunzhi: "Your second aunt has something to ask you."
Zhou Yunzhi never had the courage to see his second aunt before. After all, Yun Kun was killed in the battle to save him.
As the eldest brother, he failed to save his younger brother. He had no face to face his second aunt.
"Yunzhi, how did your second uncle, Yun Hai, Yun Kun and the others die?" Before Wu Yue could finish her words, tears burst out of her eyes.
Ji Mingzhu only said that she went to identify the bodies, but Wu Yue did not know how they died.
Zhou Yunzhi wanted to move, but suffered from the lack of support from his legs.
But even so, he still pushed the chair away and fell forward, crawling in front of Wu Yue in a very embarrassed posture.
"Zhi'er!"
"Ms. sir!"
"Brother!"
The female relatives in the room were frightened by Zhou Yunzhi's action and hurriedly stepped forward. However, even though they were in such a state of embarrassment that it was difficult to get up, Zhou Yunzhi still stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't come over."
"Yunzhi, don't be like this. Second Aunt is just asking."
Wu Yue was also panicked. Because Zhou Yunzhi was the eldest grandson in the family, his status in the family had always been detached.
She was used to seeing Zhou Yunzhi wearing armor, standing next to the old man with a handsome and handsome look, and his sudden behavior really scared her. She didn't want to blame Zhou Yunzhi, she just wanted to know the truth.
Zhou Yunzhi's legs were cut off from the calf. He couldn't stand up and all he could do was hold on with his hands.
"Second aunt, Yun Zhi should have taken the blame today, but..."
"Zhi'er!" Li Jialan didn't want to interrupt Zhou Yunzhi, but his leg was bleeding!
"Mother Wang! Zhi'er is bleeding, he's bleeding..."
"Mother!" Zhou Yunzhi lay on the ground and choked with sobs: "I'm fine, please let me finish."
Li Jialan looked at Zhou Yunzhi's bleeding wound and felt that her heart was cut into pieces by a knife. She covered her chest and was held in the arms of Fang Huiwen, who was also full of tears.
Zhou Yunshu, who was on the side, hugged Yuan Li Yuanyi, who was crying uncontrollably, and said to Li Jialan with a sore nose: "Mom, please let me finish."
Li Jialan was speechless and could only shed tears.
Wu Yue didn't sit down either, she just half-crouched in front of Zhou Yunzhi.
"On July 19, Tiele invaded. My father, on my grandfather's orders, led Yunkun and I to attack Tiele's main cavalry in the north. On July 26, the two armies clashed, and Tiele was defeated. The Zhou army took advantage of the victory to pursue Tiele. They were defeated and torn apart; on August 6, my father led the Zhou family army to rush to Feiqiang City to rest, but the city defender refused, saying that he had received an order from the governor to close the city gates for the sake of the people and not allow anyone to enter or leave."
"On August 7, there was not much food and grass left in the Zhou family's army. My father knocked on the city gate again, but he still refused to open the city gate and asked us to leave the vicinity of Feiqiang City that day. Otherwise, they would report to the imperial court that the Zhou family's army was absent without permission. Support the troops to protect themselves, hold officials hostage, and occupy the city as a camp."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the embarrassed Zhou Yunzhi on the ground, tears streaming down her face unknowingly.
"On August 10th, when the Zhou family army was stationed outside, they received help from the villagers and received hundreds of catties of food to survive. On the 12th, they received military orders and rushed to Biyuguan to assist my grandfather."
"From Feiqiang City to Biyu Pass, we encountered seven cities on the way. Except for one city that took the initiative to replenish military supplies for the Zhou family army, the other six cities were all closed. When we arrived at the last city, Tie Le besieged the city, and the Zhou family army fought tooth and nail to rescue the siege and repel Tie Le. After that, the defenders still kept their doors closed."
Zhou Yunzhi's tone was full of despair, maybe because of his weak will. Later, he began to doubt himself, the Zhou family, and whether what the Zhou family army had done was worth it.
"At that time, my father was seriously injured, and Kundi and I were slightly injured. We had nowhere to go and no food to eat, so we could only guard at the gate of the city."
"Why don't they break down the city gate? They should open the city gate. Why don't they open the city gate!" Wu Gui said angrily!
Zhou Yunzhi was silent for a while and said: "The Zhou family's army has strict military discipline and the basis is that the army does not disturb the people."
"If it were in the past, as long as the Zhou family's army handed over the token, the city defenders would prepare food and military supplies themselves, and the Zhou family's army would just take it."
"In the past two years, the emperor has sent three supervisors and one supervisor to the northern border. The Zhou family's army is unrivaled in the northern border, but it is not as easy to talk to small officials and cities everywhere as before."
"My grandfather and my second uncle were attacked from both sides at Biyu Pass. Cai Chuan kept grabbing our little pigtails. We could occasionally get military supplies at that time. If we violated military orders, Cai Chuan would immediately issue an order saying that our mercenaries would rebel. When the time comes, Not only will we not be able to get any military supplies, we will even become the target of public criticism in the north."
"With the name of rebellion, not only the Zhou family army will become a lost dog, but you in the capital will also be affected."
"But our Zhou family in the north is..." Wu Yue murmured: "We are the ones who can speak and make the decision, aren't we?"
"Originally, it was true, but money and power moved people's hearts. My grandfather was poisoned. In order not to disturb the morale of the army, he went to the front line personally, but Cai Chuan took control of the rear area."
No matter how strong the army is, what can be done? Without food and military supplies, no matter how strong the army is, it will be dragged down to death.
"Before we could reach Biyu Pass, we were found by Tiele's guerrillas. Do you know how they found our whereabouts?"
Zhou Yunzhi said on his own: "It was his own people who tipped off the news, and the soldiers who had been replenished in the city turned against the enemy."
"In order to defeat the Zhou family's army, these beasts actually ate beans in the food and grass. When the whole army was exhausted, they came here with Tiele."
"I didn't eat much at the time, and my body could still hold up. I took the so-called reinforcements to break up the rear, but I could guard against the enemy but couldn't let go of my own people. After I was stabbed by my own people, I realized later that this was not possible at all. It was an ambush in which Cai Chuan and Tiele teamed up to kill Zhou's army."
"Father and Kundi should have brought the Zhou family army back after sensing the abnormality, but... they shouldn't have come back."
Tears fell on the ground, and the blood on his legs had soaked Zhou Yunzhi's clothes.
"If father and Kundi had not come back to save me, they would not have died; it was me who failed to protect Kundi, it was me..."
"Yunzhi, it's not your fault." Wu Yue's voice was shaking, and her body was shaking, "You are the eldest grandson of the Zhou family and the next head of the Zhou family. He should protect you. He..."
Before Wu Yue finished speaking, she fell straight to the ground.
"Second aunt!"
"mother!"
