The convoy advanced a short distance when Ye Yunzhou, with his sharp eyes, spotted a figure galloping towards them. Although he had a few suspicions, he remained vigilant. He raised his hand to signal everyone to halt and prepare for defense. He himself galloped forward. As he drew closer, he saw that the person approaching was someone he knew, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
General Zhongwei saw the carriages from afar, heading straight towards them. When he saw Ye Yeyunzhou approaching, he knew what was going on. His cheerful voice rang out: "Don't be afraid, General Ye. It's me, General."
Ye Yunzhou reined in his horse, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is just ahead." Then he pointed in the direction behind him.
General Zhongwei nodded slightly and said in a clear voice, "I have come here specially to greet Your Majesty."
After saying this, the two exchanged a glance, quickly turned their horses, whipped them, and galloped towards the carriage. Just as they passed each other, Ye Yunzhou vaguely heard General Zhongwei say in a low voice, "I'll do whatever you ask for."
Ye Yunzhou's heart moved, but he didn't say much. He just squeezed the horse's belly, quickened his pace to catch up with the other party, and rushed to the carriage together.
The two men galloped away, and soon they were close to the carriage. The General Zhongwei pulled the reins, and the horse under him neighed loudly and stopped steadily, and the carriage in front of them also slowly stopped.
General Zhongwei quickly dismounted from his horse, his movements clean and sharp, and he knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in a salute. "I have come to greet you, sir."
The curtain of the carriage was slowly pulled up. The master lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on General Zhongwei, and said in a gentle tone, "Get up quickly. The weather is hot. Let's go back to the camp quickly."
General Zhongwei replied, "Yes." He then mounted his horse, and the creaking of the carriage echoed again. Before long, they arrived at the camp.
When the generals saw the carriage approaching, they hurried forward and bowed to greet him. The master, supported by Steward Su, slowly got out of the carriage. After asking some questions, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Then, the master turned his gaze to General Zhongwei and said, "You go and do your thing, don't worry about me, I'll just take a walk around on my own."
General Zhongwei did not refuse. After accepting the order respectfully, he turned around and walked away with big strides.
Ye Yunzhou had been following the master. Seeing this, he was hesitating whether to leave, but he didn't expect the master to see through his thoughts. The master said calmly, "You come with me, and no one else should follow."
Ye Yunzhou responded respectfully, and then the two of them walked towards the martial arts training ground.
The old man said he was just strolling around, and he really was just casually looking around, glancing here and there, not going anywhere, just walking slowly along the side. Some people happened to see him, but they tacitly ignored him and continued their training. After all, it's not like this old man had never been to the camp before, he just hadn't been there as much lately. As veterans in the camp, most of them knew what he looked like, so even if they saw him, they weren't too surprised.
They walked around like this, stopping and starting, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime. The master seemed to be in a good mood and turned to Ye Yunzhou and said, "You should also go and get two meals."
Ye Yunzhou took the order, arranged for the master to sit in a corner, and then went to do as he was told. A short while later, he arrived with two meals. The meal was quite simple, consisting of plain rice, a portion of stir-fried greens, and a dish with a little shredded pork.
The master was not picky. He took a portion from Ye Yunzhou and started eating calmly.
Just then, the sound of two soldiers talking in low voices could be heard not far from them. "Zhu Zi, how has your brother been these days? Has his condition improved?"
Zhuzi's brother was originally a member of the camp, but a few days ago, he accidentally injured his leg while on duty and had no choice but to leave the camp and return home, relying on small business to make a living. This man and his brother had a good relationship when they were in the camp. Today, he suddenly remembered and asked about it with concern.
Zhuzi sighed softly and said slowly, "My brother has been feeling much better recently. There will be a wedding banquet at home in a few days. If you are free, you can go and have a drink."
The inquiring person was surprised when he heard this and asked quickly, "Really? But your brother wants to get married?"
Zhuzi nodded and replied, "My brother met a woman while doing business. She's married for the second time, but she's gentle and kind, and doesn't mind my brother's disability. So, the elders at home have been discussing a marriage lately. I'm afraid there will be a happy event in my family soon."
"Congratulations! I'll definitely beg for a glass of wine. But... you must treat that woman well. Your brother is now disabled, and it's been a while since he's finally found a gentle and kind woman. You must treat her well."
Zhuzi looked puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
The person asking the question sighed deeply and continued, "A few years ago, there was a brother named Erhei who also injured his leg and had to return home. Later, through a matchmaker, he found a woman to live with him. Who knew that after a long time, the woman had to support the family alone, and it was too hard and tiring. In the end, the woman left quietly and took their child with her. Erhei couldn't bear the blow and jumped into the river to commit suicide. You may not know this, but your brother certainly knows. Don't let your brother follow in Erhei's footsteps."
The man patted Zhuzi's hand gently and said earnestly, "Don't think my words are harsh. I've seen a lot of things like this over the years, and I really don't want anyone to repeat the same mistake again."
After hearing this, Zhuzi couldn't help but show a sad look on his face, but then he remembered the situation at home and smiled again. He said, "That shouldn't be the case. Although my brother is now unable to walk, he has a cane to help him walk. Even if he can't do heavy work, he can still help take care of the housework. And now he has a wheelbarrow, so helping with the housework shouldn't be a problem. Don't worry."
When the man heard this, he was surprised and asked quickly, "Crutch, wheelbarrow? What are those?"
This time it was Zhuzi's turn to be surprised. He widened his eyes and asked, "You don't know what a cane and a wheelbarrow are?"
The man shook his head honestly and said, "I really don't know what it is."
Zhuzi stood up and bowed respectfully towards the Imperial City with a look of gratitude. Then he turned around and sat down to explain, "This cane and wheelbarrow are gifts from the current emperor and the empress. Your majesty is wise and will only charge a small fee to distribute them to those with mobility problems. With the help of the cane, walking will be no different from that of an ordinary person.
