Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

Gongsun Mingyue wondered why Li Binghao hadn't come to harass her these days, wondering if she had gone back to Xingqing Mansion.

When waking up in the morning, Gongsun Mingyue saw a familiar person---Sun Zhuling.

Sun Zhuling is nearly 60, and her silver hair shines brightly in the sun, and the wrinkles are engraved with the traces of time, which have not been seen for many years. Gongsun Mingyue can't help but lament that time flies by.

Seeing Gongsun Mingyue's incredible eyes, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't the two brothers feel happy when they meet?"

Sun Zhuling glanced at Zhang Yuan, walked up to Gongsun Mingyue and said softly, "Even if you are disgusted with me, you don't need to come to Nanxia. The court has plenty of opportunities for you to display your ambitions."

Gongsun Mingyue understood everything from his eyes, so she pretended to be angry, turned around and went back to her room, and closed the door heavily.

Sun Zhuling sighed deeply and said: "I said not to come, he doesn't want to see me, you just don't believe me." After speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan helplessly.

Zhang Yuan didn't mind at all, and stepped forward to knock on Gongsun Mingyue's door.

But he didn't open it for a long time, and Zhang Yuan couldn't control that much. He asked the soldiers to push the door open, and saw Gongsun Mingyue sitting at the table angry. He's here, and I don't want to see him."

Zhang Yuan pulled Sun Zhuling to his side, and said with a smile: "Whether you like it or not, he is your own brother. There is no way to change this. Why, do you want to never see him for the rest of your life?"

Gongsun Mingyue stopped talking and just sat sullenly.

Sun Zhuling stepped forward, patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said: "Stop making trouble, go back with brother."

Zhang Yuan was not happy when he heard this, he asked you to come to see if this kid is your younger brother, how can I let you take him back?

"Mr. Sun, why don't you stay here with your younger brother? Anyway, the court doesn't need people like you. Why don't you serve Li Guozhu with me, so that you can show your ambitions and reunite your family? Wouldn't it be better? "Zhang Yuan suggested that it would definitely be a great thing to keep Sun Zhuling. This person not only has a flexible military mind, but also understands the various methods of the Song Army's formation. For them, this person It is more important than thousands of troops.

Sun Zhuling raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuan proudly, the contempt in his eyes was clear, he smiled contemptuously and said: "I even gave up the chance to display my ambitions in the court, so how could I come to this barbaric place of yours to help you attack the Song Dynasty?" , such acts of betraying the country and seeking glory, harming others and benefiting oneself are definitely not what I, Sun Zhuling, did. I advise the national teacher to give up this heart early."

"Mr. Sun is saying that I betray the country and seek glory, and benefit myself at the expense of others?" Zhang Yuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and veins appeared on his forehead.

Sun Zhuling smiled and said: "If the national teacher thinks so, then I can't help it. It seems that the national teacher still has some self-knowledge."

"You..." Zhang Yuan's face turned purple at this time, and no one had ever dared to criticize him in front of him.

Sun Zhuling ignored Zhang Yuan, turned to look at Gongsun Mingyue and said, "No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, no matter what you want to do, come with me now, I will never let you stay here and cause future generations to curse you, It will never put you in any danger."

Gongsun Mingyue looked up at him, facing Sun Zhuling's comforting words, his heart couldn't overflow with emotion.

He also understands that it is extremely dangerous to stay here, but he must stay for the sake of the court and Yanxi. He originally did not hope that this matter would involve Sun Zhuling. After all, he has retired for many years, but he did not expect that the insidious Zhang Yuan would Pull him into the net, now it is impossible to get out of the body.

"I will definitely not go back. If you want to go back, go back yourself." Gongsun Mingyue sincerely hoped that her staying would allow him to retreat unscathed.

A miserable smile appeared on the corner of Sun Zhuling's mouth. He knew that there would be no safety at all when he came here. Originally, he didn't want to continue living like a walking corpse in the world, and Gongsun Mingyue had great ambitions. It is better to sacrifice your own life to fulfill his wish.

Sun Zhuling walked to Zhang Yuan and said, "My brother won't leave, and neither will I, but I have one request."

Zhang Yuan was very happy when he heard Sun Zhuling's words, so he immediately forgot what he just scolded himself, and said with a smile: "Say, no matter what you ask, I will agree to you."

Sun Zhuling turned around and said, "I'm staying only to be with Zhushu. I don't want to be involved in your affairs, and I don't want to know about them." He turned around suddenly and said, "But if you dare to harm him, then don't blame me. Don't give me face."

Zhang Yuandui put on a sinister smile and said: "Mr. Sun, don't worry, since he is your younger brother, we will naturally treat each other with courtesy, how can it be against him?"

"Since that's the case, please go out, I have something to say to Zhushu." Sun Zhuling issued an order to evict the guest bluntly.

The murderous look on Zhang Yuan's face flashed, and he smiled and said: "Okay, you guys talk, I'll go first."

Zhang Yuan stepped back out of the room, softly ordered his subordinates to keep a close watch on him, then turned and left.

Now if it wasn't for seeing that Sun Zhuling still has some use value, how could he bow to him, and when he wins the court, he can take revenge any way he wants, hmph.

Qiu'er went to the door vigilantly, saw the soldiers outside, and whispered: "You talk, I'll watch for you." After speaking, she opened the door and went out.

Gongsun Mingyue stood up and bowed deeply to Sun Zhuling. After getting up, she said helplessly, "Gongsun Mingyue is sorry, sir, for letting you take this risk."

Sun Zhuling sighed and sat down heavily: "Oh, forget it. Sit down and talk."

Gongsun Mingyue sat down gently, the sense of guilt in her heart did not fade in any way.

"Gongsun Mingyue, haven't we seen each other for many years?" Sun Zhuling said with a smile.

Gongsun Mingyue said embarrassedly: "Yes, it has been six or seven years since the last farewell?"

Sun Zhuling said with a smile: "Yes, at that time you were still a scholar with red lips and white teeth, why are you so angry now?"

When Gongsun Mingyue heard Sun Zhuling's words, she was a little embarrassed, with patches of blush floating on her face, and said: "At that time, I was just a fool who only wanted to obtain fame and reimbursement to the court, but now I have been baptized by the battlefield and shocked by death. One half of the soldiers, the mood is naturally different."

After hearing this, Sun Zhuling sighed deeply again. He has not been in the court or in the army for many years. He has almost forgotten that he once had the heroic ambition of dying in battle and shrouded in horse leather.

"People who have been baptized by the battlefield will indeed change a lot," Sun Zhuling raised his head and looked at Gongsun Mingyue sadly. He seemed to see the shadow of his youth in Gongsun Mingyue. He didn't want this man in front of him to leave in the future. The same way as myself, "You have really changed a lot."

Gongsun Mingyue lowered her head, yes, he has changed a lot, because of the war, because of friendship, or because of something...

Sun Zhuling took out the letter written to him by Gongsun Mingyue, spread it out on the table and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing the letter, Gongsun Mingyue looked outside nervously, only to see that Qiu'er was watching everything vigilantly, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did you see it?"

Sun Zhuling said with a smile: "Fortunately, when I read the letter, I still remembered your words and the herbs you found in the back hill of my bamboo garden. Fortunately, I happened to be drinking."

Gongsun Mingyue's face turned from calm to a dark smile, and then she couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm very lucky to see."

"Thanks to your luck, otherwise your life will be lost." Sun Zhuling continued, "At first, I just wanted to prove it, but Zhang Yuan actually threatened your life, so I had to come with him in the end."

Gongsun Mingyue asked puzzledly: "What about Sun Zhushu? He..."

There was endless sadness in Sun Zhuling's eyes, and the hands holding the letter couldn't help trembling: "It's long gone."

"Not here anymore?" Gongsun Mingyue was very surprised. Although she knew that her younger brother was not in good health, she never thought that she would leave so early, "Why?"

Sun Zhuling stood up and walked around the room. This was the most painful wound deep in his heart. Although it had been many years, every time he thought about it, he would still feel overwhelmed with pain.

"His health is not good, you know that. A few years ago, when he was looking for medicine at the border between the imperial court and Nanxia, ​​he was killed by the Nanxia army." Sun Zhuling said very plainly, but Gongsun Mingyue could understand his words Hearing deep sorrow, "I was not with him at the time. When I found him, his body had been exposed to the wild for two days. It was devoured by the beasts in the mountains and there was no human form."

"I'm sorry." Gongsun Mingyue really didn't know how to express his inner apology, so he could only say sorry.

"Forget it, many years have passed." Sun Zhuling turned around and squeezed out a smile.

"Fortunately, he is gone, so you can pretend to be him as you like." Sun Zhuling smiled wryly, and comforted himself, "At least it makes me feel as if he is still by my side."

Sun Zhuling's old cheeks looked even more vicissitudes. Gongsun Mingyue knew that it was not his younger brother who died, but his son, the son he raised by himself, but the mother died at the moment the son was born because of dystocia.

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Let's talk about something serious." Sun Zhuling sat down beside Gongsun Mingyue, "Anyway, I've stayed, so what do you think I can do for you?"

"Mr. Sun, you really shouldn't come," Gongsun Mingyue said guiltily, "I'll find a chance to let them let you go back. You leave the Blanking Pool and find another place to go."

"Hehe, it's easy to come, but it may not be so easy to leave." Sun Zhuling smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I'm an old bone, even if I die, it's not a pity."

"But..." Gongsun Mingyue still wanted to comfort her, but was interrupted by Sun Zhuling, "Okay, now that the country is facing a crisis, since I have the opportunity to serve the country, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death, so I can live on my own terms."

What Sun Zhuling said was impassioned, with the intention of dying for the country, which made Gongsun Mingyue feel embarrassed to say anything else.

"Since Mr. Sun has such ambitions, then Gongsun Mingyue doesn't dare to say anything more. Let's thank Mr. Sun for the people of the world." Gongsun Mingyue stood up and bowed deeply.

"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, tell me your plan when you have time now." Sun Zhuling pulled Gongsun Mingyue up and said eagerly.

The conversation between Gongsun Mingyue and Sun Zhuling continued until it was dark. After countless suggestions and discussions, they finally finalized a detailed plan. They hoped that with the last blow, they could not only deal a heavy blow to Nan Xia, but also provoke him to fight against Qian Guo. relation.
