  Chapter 490 Grandparents (second update)

  The old Huguogong led 200,000 soldiers and horses. After walking halfway, he ordered Zhou Wei to set up camp and rest.

  Zhou Wei looked at the old Huguogong, "Grandfather, it's still early, and we can still go forward fifty miles today."

   "I'm not leaving. Old arms and legs, I can't take it anymore. Tell the soldiers to rest too." The old protector thumped his shoulder.

  Zhou Wei suddenly felt guilty, "I'm sorry grandfather, I was too impatient."

   "Impatience can't eat hot tofu. During this march and battle, the most important thing is to avoid being impatient and causing chaos. At any time, you must be calm, otherwise the enemy will not be able to hit you, and you will collapse first." The old guardian looked at his eldest grandson and patted him on the shoulder.

  Zhou Wei looked at the old Huguogong, "Because my grandfather wanted my fourth brother to take a different path from the three of us, and to jump out of the path protected by the ancestral protection of the Huguogong's mansion."

   "That's what I said." The old Hu Guogong shook his head, "Because I can see that among your brothers, he is the one who is the most calm when encountering major problems. It would be a pity if he joins the army. Obviously he has the talent to be a general and a minister."

   Zhou Wei was silent.

  The old Huguogong put his hands behind his back, "Do you want to say, where is he calm? From childhood to adulthood, you can't find a place for him to be calm, right?"

  Zhou Wei finally couldn't hold back anymore, "I admit that my younger brother has the ability to become a general and become a prime minister, but you said that he has the most calm temper, and my grandson really didn't see it."

  Old Huguo said: "That's something you forgot."

  He reminded Zhou Wei, "Do you still remember that when your younger brother was four years old, you brothers went hunting with the princes. That day, you met a group of tigers, and the guards tried their best to save you. All of you were injured. What's more, the prince fell off the horse and sprained his foot. There was a tiger rushing towards him. At that time, no one around the prince could save him in time. Only the prince had the chance to kill the tiger with a dagger, but at that time, all of you panicked, only he and the prince did not."

  The old Huguogong continued: "Later, the prince came to me after recovering from his injuries and asked your fourth brother to study with him in the East Palace. I refused at first, but he told me what happened that day. He said that if he was put into the army, he would at most be a general under the protection of the ancestors of the Duke of Huguo. Promise to the crown prince, plan secretly, send him to the study, and push the boat along the way to kick him to the East Palace."

  He sighed, "No one knows that he entered the East Palace because the crown prince asked for it. Qin Taifu taught with all his heart, and the crown prince took pains to cultivate it. Who would have thought that the child would be too old for his mother, and it would be cheaper..."

  He wanted to say, "It's cheap for that little girl Su Rong", but he also thought that Daliang could keep the country under the iron cavalry of the Great Wei, and he could have a stable life for sixteen years.

   If you want to pay, you will pay. So, at the beginning, he booked Zhou Gu and did not choose Zhou Che, but at that time, he did not expect that the king of Nanchu was a bastard, did not enter the harem, and had no children for many years. He only had a daughter, Su Rong. He could not marry a grandson.

  He waved his hands depressedly, and didn't want to say any more, "Listen to me, set up camp! Let the soldiers have a good rest."

  Zhou Weiying, he never questioned his grandfather's decision, but now he heard his grandfather mention it, and he remembered that when he was very young, he was with his fourth brother. As the eldest brother, his father and uncles were gone, and he had to take care of his younger brothers, so he was almost inseparable. At that time, the prince fell off his horse, and a fierce tiger rushed towards the prince. It was only a matter of a moment. He was frightened and stupid at that time. It was indeed the fourth brother, who was young. He set up the small bow and arrow in his hand, drew the bow and arrow, and shot the tiger in the eye. The prince seized the opportunity, drew out his dagger, and fought the tiger to kill it.

  Later, after the prince killed the tiger, he glanced at the small special bow and arrow, and then at the fourth brother, with a pale face, as if he wanted to say something. His majesty and grandfather arrived with people, and all the wounded were sent back.

  Later, the crown prince came to the door in person, but the East Palace didn't send a thank you gift, and didn't make a big fanfare. He thought that the matter was just over in order to avoid suspicion between the two governments. After all, it was too chaotic at that time, except him, no one noticed that the fourth brother saved the prince.

  Until the fourth brother was dissatisfied with his grandfather’s refusal to let him join the army, he was escorted to the Imperial Study Room, where he made a fuss, and the angry gentlemen ran to His Majesty to complain every day after class.

   It turned out that it was behind the scenes because of such an incident, which he had forgotten for many years.

  He thought with shame, as the eldest brother, he was indeed inferior to his younger brother in many ways. All these years, he has put all his energy into the army. His grandfather said that he is suitable for the army. He has done better than his father when he was his age. It is enough to support the lintel of the Duke's Mansion. That's enough. He has never intervened in the conspiracy and conspiracy of the undercurrent in the court, and he does not need to intervene.

  After his father died in battle, when he was young, His Majesty deliberately suppressed his father's title. He stayed in the position of eldest son for many years without taking over the title. His grandfather told him, don't worry, the title of the Duke of the Protectorate, his father's title, will be his sooner or later. His Majesty will give it to him.

  He just needs to calm down and concentrate on training, because sooner or later there will be a battle between Wei and Liang, and he will go to the battlefield in the future. Since he will go to the battlefield sooner or later, what he should practice is his ability and energy-raising skills, otherwise his wife and children will be left behind by him in the future, just like when he and his younger brothers were young, none of his father and uncle came back. He didn't want his grandchildren to end up in the same way.

  He thought of this, took a deep breath, and walked quickly. Soon, he ordered the whole army to rest on the spot.

  The old Huguogong lived in the Jinjun tent, and studied the topographic map while burning sweet potatoes over a charcoal fire.

  After Zhou Wei inspected the whole army, he returned to the old Huguogong’s military tent and smelled the smell of roasted sweet potatoes. Seeing him coming back, the old Huguogong waved to him, “You came back just in time, hurry up, the roasted sweet potatoes are probably ripe, help me pull them out.”

   Double the monthly pass, my dears, come on! What~
