The next morning, Uncle Li went to the garrison and was taken to the military camp by Garrison Commander Fang.
Tang Li hopes that Uncle Li can meet Zhu Cheng smoothly and that nothing unexpected happens.
This family can no longer bear any more blows.
No matter how nervous others are, they are actually no more nervous than the person involved.
Uncle Li changed into the clothes given to him by Guard Fang and followed him timidly.
Along the way, Guard Fang told him a lot of things, just to watch less and listen less, and when he met people later, to be brief and not to be discovered.
Uncle Li hunched his back and nodded repeatedly.
The car has stopped and arrived at the gate of the military camp.
Shoubei Fang and Uncle Li got out of the car.
Guard Fang glanced at him and said, "Stand up straight. My personal soldiers are not so timid."
Uncle Li quickly stood up straight.
Shoubei Fang brought Uncle Li into the military camp.
Uncle Li kept in mind what Fang Shoubei had told him, and didn't dare to look at anything else. He just stared at the back of Fang Shoubei's head.
The two of them didn't go to Zhu Cheng right away. Fang Shoubei went to work first. While Fang Shoubei was working, Uncle Li followed him. This was a very difficult time, and Uncle Li was afraid that something might go wrong.
"Captain Fang, your personal guards are a bit old." A voice sounded.
Uncle Li glanced at the man who was speaking. He was about the same age as Fang Shoubei, but much fatter, and his eyes were unfriendly. Uncle Li quickly lowered his head.
"Captain Zhao, don't worry about that." Shoubei Fang said coldly.
"I'm worried about you, too. If you mess things up at your age, won't Guard Fang be the one to be punished if the general blames you?"
"Captain Zhao, please do your part."
There was some sarcasm in the conversation between the two men, which showed that they were not getting along.
Uncle Li lowered his head and dared not speak.
After Guard Fang finished his work, he took Uncle Li out of the tent.
Captain Zhao looked at Guard Fang's back and cursed.
"Why are you so arrogant! The defensive position will be mine sooner or later!"
Shoubei Fang took Uncle Li to the back of a tent, asked him to wait there, and then turned and left.
Uncle Li waited anxiously for a while, and suddenly heard a voice.
"Master!"
Uncle Li looked over quickly and saw Zhu Cheng, tears streaming down his face.
Zhu Cheng was also in disbelief. He quickly walked up to Uncle Li and hugged him.
When someone first told him that his grandfather was looking for him, he thought it was impossible and that they were lying. Now that he has seen the person, it still feels like a dream.
Uncle Li thought about what Guard Fang had told him and quickly pulled him away. He asked, "Ah Cheng, how are you? Are you used to being in this military camp?"
Unused to it, he was completely bewildered when he was drafted, and spent several days in a state of panic. In the minds of ordinary people like them, being drafted meant certain death. Zhu Cheng didn't want to die; his wife was pregnant, and he was about to become a father.
But what he said out loud was: "I'm used to it! The military camp provides food and accommodation, and I start training every day. I've become strong." As he said this, he gestured with his arms.
Uncle Li wiped his tears and said, "It's good to be strong. You are a blessed child. Even if you encounter bad things, there will be good fortune in the future."
"Yes, Grandpa! Grandpa, how is Lanhua?" Zhu Cheng asked the question he was most worried about.
Lanhua is timid, like a little rabbit. She must be scared to death when encountering such a thing.
"Orchid..."
"Master, please persuade Lanhua more and tell her that I'm fine and doing well in the military camp. When I earn military merit and return, I'll let her be the wife of an official!" Zhu Cheng said with a smile on his always smiling face.
"Okay, Ah Cheng, this is for you. Spend it when you should. You must live a better life." Uncle Li said, taking out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Zhu Cheng.
Zhu Cheng didn't answer: "Master, I don't need money in the barracks. Please buy more food for Lanhua. She needs to nourish her body."
"Don't worry, Lanhua'er. I'll be relieved only when you live a good life."
Uncle Li insisted on putting it in his arms, and Zhu Cheng had to take it.
"Well, in the barracks or on the battlefield, be smart. We are all waiting for you to come back."
Uncle Li patted Zhu Cheng on the shoulder and turned to leave.
"Master!"
Zhu Cheng shouted and suddenly knelt down in front of Uncle Li.
"Grandpa, I am really happy that I can marry Lanhuaer and have you and grandma love me."
"Master...if I haven't come back in two years, you can let Lanhua remarry."
"Lanhua'er has a soft personality. You have to choose someone who loves her and won't let her be bullied."
Uncle Li choked up and became speechless after hearing those words.
He didn't look back, but just walked out quickly, but was suddenly blocked.
Uncle Li's expression suddenly changed, and his legs began to tremble.
The one who blocked Uncle Li's way was Captain Zhao, who was at odds with Guard Fang.
Captain Zhao's rank was lower than that of Shoubei Fang, and he had always been dissatisfied, so he tried every possible way to find fault with Shoubei Fang, hoping to pull him down and take his place.
He felt something was wrong when he saw Fang Shoubei's personal soldiers, so he asked someone to follow him. There was indeed a problem.
Captain Zhao waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to arrest Uncle Li and Zhu Cheng together.
The two men were tied up and taken to the tent.
Uncle Li was old, and when the soldier pushed him, he almost bumped into the table.
"Stop pushing my grandpa!" Zhu Cheng shouted.
The soldier kicked Zhu Cheng to the ground.
"Acheng, I'm fine!" Uncle Li said quickly.
The grandfather and grandson were forced to kneel on the ground.
Captain Zhao sat on a chair, looking down at the two of them.
"You are not a personal soldier of Guard Fang at all. You bribed Guard Fang to bring you in to meet your grandson, right?" Captain Zhao asked sternly.
Uncle Li kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.
Although he was ignorant, he knew that this person was deceiving him and wanted to harm Fang Shoubei.
He can clearly tell what is good and what is bad.
Good things should be repaid, and one should not betray the benefactor.
"You're still not talking, are you? Hit me!"
At a command from Captain Zhao, the two soldiers kicked towards Uncle Li.
Those two soldiers were both strong and healthy. Uncle Li was old and thin, so how could he withstand the kicks?
Zhu Cheng rushed over and stood on top of Uncle Li, helping him take several blows.
"Stop kicking my grandpa! Please!" Zhu Cheng begged.
But how could those people listen to his pleas? Each kick became harder and harder.
Uncle Li was stubborn and refused to say a word.
"Old man, you still won't tell me, right?" Captain Zhao paced back and forth angrily.
The general has strict military discipline. If he knew that Fang Wu had brought people in to visit his relatives without permission, he would definitely dismiss Fang Wu from his post!
It turns out that this old man is a tough nut to crack.
He was so angry that he picked up a chair and threw it at the grandfather and grandson.
With a clang, it hit Zhu Cheng's head and blood gushed out!
"Acheng! Acheng!"
Uncle Li was furious: "I will fight you!"
As he said that, he rushed towards Captain Zhao.
The next moment, he was kicked out by Captain Zhao and fell heavily to the ground.
When Guard Fang entered the tent, he saw this scene: an old man and a young boy lying on the ground, covered in blood. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead!
