Chapter 217 He is crazy and wants to be a spy for the barbarians
Li Suining was speechless for a moment. He just looked at Bai Yu'an with heartache, feeling a little helpless.
"Sister, can you imagine?" Bai Yu'an continued, his voice still trembling, "If one day you woke up and ran out of the tent, and what you saw were no longer people smiling and greeting you... but... corpses lying on the ground, their mouths and noses covered in blood..."
Little Dumpling's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't bear such a scene just by hearing her second brother talk about it. Could it be... that her second brother had experienced such a thing?
Bai Yu'an was obviously a little excited. He gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of biting hatred.
"It was You Zhu's mother..." He finally spoke through gritted teeth, "She was the one who poisoned so many people..."
Li Suining vaguely remembered that he had heard of this incident.
"She also set a fire, a huge fire," Bai Yu'an's voice trembled even more. "At that time, I saw a lot of familiar people. I ran over and tried to wake them up, wanted them to run away, but they all ignored me. They... are all dead."
Little Tuanzi felt as if something was stabbing her heart, and the pain made her breathless.
"Sister, do you know?" Bai Yu'an suddenly laughed bitterly at himself, "In the beginning, I was the one who persuaded Dad to agree to You Zhu's parents' decision and to keep You Zhu's mother... "
"Second brother, this isn't your fault," Little Tuanzi said anxiously. "No one would have thought it would be like this. Daddy said that Sixth brother's mother was a princess of the Northern Barbarians. She...she only acted that way because of her different stance. Daddy doesn't hate Sixth brother for this, and I certainly can't blame you."
"Yes, no one blames me. No one blames anyone else. Such a tragedy happened, and everyone is silently cleaning up the mess."
Bai Yu'an recalled the tragic situation at that time. In fact, at that time, he was more thinking that if he knew medical skills and was a very good doctor, he might have been able to save many people at that time.
"But..." He continued, "From that time on, I couldn't accept You Zhu. In my eyes, he also had the blood of the Northern Barbarians flowing in his body. Maybe one day, he would be like his mother, baring his sharp wolf fangs and biting all of us to death."
"No, Sixth Brother won't." Little Tuanzi shook her head gently. She believed in Sixth Brother. The General's Mansion and Dajin were Sixth Brother's home. Sixth Brother would not hurt them.
"At that time, although I couldn't understand why Dad took You Zhu back, Xiao Wu was still my best brother and one of the people I trusted the most."
At this point, Bai Yu'an laughed again, his laughter full of self-mockery, "I just didn't expect that my repeated trust would be rewarded with..."
Little Dumpling blinked his big eyes. It seemed that the departure of his third brother had dealt a heavier blow to his second brother.
Sure enough, Bai Yu'an continued, "That year, I was thirteen, Xiao Wu was twelve, and we went to the battlefield together. But in that battle... Xiao Wu broke his leg. I carried him back to the camp from the battlefield and took care of him day and night in the camp..."
He looked at Li Suining with a trembling voice, "Sister, do you know? It was also from that time that I became determined to become a military doctor. I always blamed myself at that time. I thought that if I knew medicine, maybe... Xiao Wu's leg could be saved. Seeing him suffer, I felt even more pain than he did."
"Hehehe..." Bai Yu'an laughed again. He chuckled for a long time, tears streaming down his face. "What happened? Not long after returning to the Imperial City, Xiao Wu...left without saying goodbye. He...made everything I did look like a fool."
"Second brother, third brother...he just doesn't want to implicate his family, he..." Little Tuanzi explained for Xiao Wu anxiously.
"Family? Do you think Xiao Wu considers us family? Do you think that if my leg is broken, I should leave home and disappear forever? Is this what family should do?"
Bai Yu'an's repeated questioning left Li Suining completely unable to answer.
In fact, Li Suining and Bai Yu'an both understood that when Xiao Wu broke his leg, he had not really integrated into the General's Mansion. What he wanted was to sever ties with the General and leave the General's Mansion forever.
In this matter, Xiao Wu was wrong.
"Second brother!" Little Tuanzi no longer made excuses for her third brother. She knew that the saddest person for such a long time was her second brother.
She got up and crawled to the side of her second brother, lying close to him. "Second brother, I apologize to you on behalf of my third brother, and also to my sixth brother's mother. But I can assure you that my third and sixth brothers both loved you very much, but... they didn't know how to love at that time."
"Silly girl!" The fact that Bai Yu'an could say these things today showed that he had let it go.
He rubbed the little dumpling's head and said, "You're right. We don't know how to love."
Whether it was him, Xiao Wu, or You Zhu, they all experienced too many painful memories at an age when they didn't know how to love, so they all took the wrong path.
Fortunately, God had mercy on them and sent Li Suining.
"Second brother," Little Dumpling sat up and looked at Bai Yu'an with sparkling eyes, "After the battle, let's go back to the Imperial City and have a good meal together, shall we?"
"Okay, whatever you say." Bai Yu'an agreed with a smile.
"Is the Second Young Master asleep?" A dull and powerful voice suddenly sounded outside.
Bai Yu'an frowned and immediately sat up, "Come in."
Soon, Deputy General Huang came in. When he saw Bai Yu'an again, his expression was obviously much more respectful, "Greetings, Second Young Master."
Bai Yu'an stood up, feeling a little uneasy. "Deputy General Huang, what's wrong?"
"This is strange," Deputy General Huang scratched his head and said without beating around the bush, looking very puzzled. "Deputy General Li is gone, and several of his trusted subordinates are also missing."
Bai Yu'an's expression grew increasingly serious, and a bad thought suddenly crossed his mind. "Have you searched the entire camp? Could you have made a mistake?"
"There's no mistake. There are several living people here. How could we not find them?" Deputy General Huang was very sure. "They must have left the camp, but why?"
Bai Yu'an was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "Isn't there a spy in the army?"
"You're saying Lieutenant General Li is a spy?" Lieutenant General Huang immediately shook his head. "How is that possible? Of the four of us, the General values him the most. He knows full well that we will win this battle. Is he crazy enough to spy for the barbarians? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
At this time, the little boy on the side slowly spoke, "But, if the plague problem is not resolved, this war..."
She knew better than anyone that they would definitely lose this battle from the very beginning!
