They say it's sick

Chapter 13

Because he has been bedridden with illness, Yunzhi has not been to the army for more than a month.

This place has never been affected by the outside world, even the twists and turns of the Zhenyuanhou Mansion have nothing to do with this place, everything is still the same as before, everyone performs their duties and is orderly.

It was the time for daily training, and many people gathered on the school field. Yun Zhi came over from a distance, and recognized the thin figure among the crowd at a glance, watching her gallop past on a fine horse, and shoot arrows neatly with a bow , and hit the bullseye.

Yun Zhi suddenly remembered that when she was young, she followed her elder brother to the camp one time and saw a similar scene.

On that day, the sister-in-law was wearing a red gown with small sleeves, her long hair was tied up high, and the ends of her hair and the hem of her clothes flew wildly with the galloping horses, shooting arrows with a bow, showing a heroic appearance.

Yun Zhi subconsciously turned her head to look beside her, only to see her eldest brother curled up his lips, and there was a gentle smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

The eldest sister-in-law was born in a family of generals, and she and her elder brother were childhood sweethearts. They made an appointment early on, and married into the Hou's mansion amidst many envy and became the wife of the prince, but they still hang out in the army every day.

Yunzhi was still young at that time, but he also knew that it was not easy for women to serve in the army. He once expressed doubts to his elder brother why his sister-in-law didn't stay at home like other women and be the young wife of the Marquis Mansion, but insisted on going to the army to suffer.

The eldest brother seemed to hear some interesting question, smiled lightly, and asked back: "Then why don't you stay at home and be the young master of the Marquis Mansion, instead of going to the army to suffer?"

"I..." Xiao Yunzhi choked for a moment, before replying after a long time, "I like to come to the army, and I don't think it's suffering."

"Then Han Ning can't be because he likes it?"

"But sister-in-law is different from me..." Xiao Yunzhi hesitated, "I am a man after all..."

"There is nothing in this world that only men can do and women can't. Maybe it takes more hard work. As long as she is willing, that's enough..." Yunji interrupted him with a smile in his eyes, but his tone was extremely serious, " Life is short for dozens of years, I hope she only does what she wants to do."

Several years have passed, and the sister-in-law has really been doing what she wants to do, and she has become a mega-star in Youzhou.Even in the whole of Northern Liaobei, a female general who is good at fighting and has great skills makes the enemy fearful.

Yun Zhi was dazed for a moment in the memory, and suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind, before he could distinguish what it was, his body reacted and subconsciously took a step aside, and then he saw a sharp arrow passing through him Where I just stood.

Wang Hanning reined in his horse and looked at him condescendingly: "I can still react after lying down for more than a month. It seems that I have recovered."

Yun Zhi raised her head and looked at the person on the horse.

He and his sister-in-law have not seen each other for more than a month.

Compared with last time, the person in front of him has lost a lot of weight, but his eyes are as bright and firm as in memory.

"Sister-in-law..." Yunzhi straightened her back, "Let's talk?"

Wang Hanning got off his horse and stood in front of Yunzhi.

In the memory, the child who was always sticking behind her and Yunji was already more than half of his head taller without knowing it.

Although illness made him haggard a lot, Wang Hanning knew that the young man's seemingly thin arms were already stronger than most adults in this world.

"I knew that brat Shu'er would tell you everything..." She lightly tapped Yunzhi's shoulder with the riding whip in her hand, and said with a smile, "If the capital is not in danger, it doesn't matter who goes there. It’s dangerous, and it’s the same for anyone.”

"Sister-in-law..." Yun Zhi paused, but her tone was very firm, "I have a reason to go."

Wang Hanning narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes were almost fixed on Yun Zhi's face. After a while, she squeezed the whip tightly: "Are you..."

"Brother told me back then that life is only a few dozen years long, and I hope you can do what you want..."

Yunzhi suddenly pointed to the school yard not far away, interrupting Wang Hanning, "I am more suitable for the treacherous waves in the capital."

When mentioning Yunji, Wang Hanning was dazed for a moment. After a short silence, she smiled softly and shook the whip in her hand: "You know I've always been too lazy to talk nonsense. Let's have a competition and we'll talk if we win."

Yun Zhi lowered her head and looked into her hand: "I will accompany you to the end."

Ever since he joined the army, such competitions have happened from time to time, Yun Zhi has almost all been against him, from Yun Ye to ordinary soldiers.

In the beginning, he lost more than he won, but as he gradually grew up, his stature, strength, and experience in fighting the enemy continued to grow, and he won more times.

Now in the army, there are very few who can be called opponents, including Wang Hanning.

The two of them play an important role in the army—both are blood relatives of Marquis Zhenyuan, one is a young pioneer who goes forward, and the other is a female general who makes many men feel ashamed. It immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The soldiers who were still in training did not dare to pretend for the time being. Others who had time to spare all came closer and gathered sparsely around the side of the school field, looking around and discussing at the same time.

Yun Zhi turned a blind eye and chose the weapon in front of the weapon rack. He suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and turned around suddenly to find that Wang Hanning was approaching, and the long sword shining with cold light was coming straight towards his cheek.

Yun Zhi twisted her body around, kicked onto the weapon rack while avoiding the sword, grabbed one of the flying weapons, and took advantage of the situation to parry the second blow that was aimed at her heart again. After arriving at the horse, he quickly jumped onto another war horse beside him, dragged backwards, and rode the horse forward.

Wang Hanning turned his horse's head to face Yun Zhi's direction, and in an instant, the two had already fought together.

Regardless of age, gender, height, moves, or even weapons, these two people are very different, but they know each other like the back of their hands. For a while, only the sound of horseshoes and weapons colliding could be heard in the school grounds.

In comparison, the two on the school grounds seemed extraordinarily calm and calm until——

Holding the gun in both hands, Yun Zhi abruptly received Wang Hanning's sword from top to bottom. The hardwood shaft of the gun broke in two, but it couldn't completely block the roaring sword force, and Yun Zhi fell back. , watching the blade brush past his cheek, the next moment he stepped on the horse's back, and amidst the exclamation all around, he jumped up and landed on Wang Hanning's horse. At the same time, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve, On her neck: "I won..."

After a moment of astonishment, Wang Hanning turned his wrist and put the long sword behind his back: "I would like to admit defeat."

Yun Zhi retracted the dagger and cupped her hands, then turned and fell to the ground.

The sergeants onlookers came back to their senses from the bewildering fight just now, and cheered one after another.

Chen Jin stepped out from the crowd, approached Yun Zhi, and lowered his voice: "Master Hou came here just now."

"I know..." Yun Zhi turned around to leave, and within a few steps, Wang Hanning's voice sounded from behind, "Youhuai..."

The sergeants who were watching around dispersed one after another, but Wang Hanning was still in place, shrouded in the morning light, making her who was still on the horse a little more gentle.

"Life is short, do what you want to do..." Her eyes fell on Yunzhi's face, but she seemed to look past him, looking elsewhere, "This is also what your elder brother expects of you .”

Yun Zhi opened her eyes slightly, with smile lines on her lips, and nodded seriously: "Everything I do is for myself."

He cupped his hands towards Wang Hanning again, turned around and walked towards the main tent.

"father!"

Yun Zhi opened the tent door, and saw Yun Ye in front of the desk.

Yun Ye raised his eyes, his gaze swept across his face, and he picked up a cloth towel and threw it over.

Yun Zhi took the cloth towel, wiped it on his forehead twice, and sat down opposite the desk, "I happen to have something to tell you!"

"Go..." Yun Ye lowered his gaze, looking at the book in his hand.

Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was saying: "You don't ask too many questions?"

"Just now I stood by the school yard for a while..." Yun Ye picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, "Since you recovered from your illness, you should go to the capital."

"You really..."

After speaking halfway, Yun Zhi couldn't help laughing, he knew that Yun Ye wouldn't stop him, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have to speak.

There is no need to mention the explanations prepared earlier.

After all, he had been ill in bed for a long time, and the fight just now had consumed a lot of energy, so he felt tired after a while, so he half-prostrated on the desk, looking up at Yun Ye.

It has been more than a month, and he still can't adapt to the sudden graying of his temples by his heroic father in his memory.

Most outsiders have the impression that Yun Ye is strict, sensitive and meticulous, especially when it comes to military matters, and Yun Zhi has been punished a lot for this since he was a child.

But it was also the same Yun Ye who once carried the young Yun Zhi on his shoulders and wandered around the city. When Yun Zhi came down from the battlefield with injuries all over his body and was unconscious, he stayed in front of the bed without sleep, and when Yun Zhi did anything that others could not understand Nod lightly when making a decision, giving him silent trust and support.

In Yun Zhi's eyes, Yun Ye is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the confidence of the whole Youzhou, but also the solid support of the two brothers like a mountain.

As if sensing Yun Zhi's emotional fluctuations, Yun Ye suddenly raised his head and glanced at him: "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing..." Yun Zhi sat up, looking around the tent, "It's just been a long time since I came to your tent, why hasn't there been any change?"

This is not an excuse, Yun Ye's main tent has always been the place Yun Zhi is most familiar with in the army.

He started to practice martial arts at the age of five or six, and he often came to the camp with him. Many times, Yun Ye would discuss military affairs with the generals and deal with various matters, so he fell asleep behind a screen with the art of war that he could not understand at all.

Later, Yun Zhi also joined the army and had his own tent, but he still got used to going to the main tent, sometimes for military affairs, and sometimes for doing nothing, just like when he was a child, taking a nap while holding on to the art of war .

It may be because of Yun Ye's own righteousness and majesty, every time he is here, he will feel a rare sense of relaxation and peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Yunzhi yawned a long time: "I'm a little tired, I'll borrow your tent to sleep for a while."

Yun Ye's eyes were still on the desk, as if he didn't hear his words, Yun Zhi didn't care, and got up by himself and went straight to the bed behind the screen.

Not long after, there was the sound of light breathing from behind the screen.

Yun Ye listened intently, put down the pen in his hand, got up and left the tent, and when he came back, a soldier holding a charcoal basin followed behind him.
