The little guy looked at Fusu and said, "That guy represents the power of the Jade Star. He's very strong, but Big Brother is the reincarnation of the Jade Star. That guy is just a power that once submitted to Big Brother."
Fusu looked puzzled. "Jade Star?"
He had never even heard of these stars, so he naturally didn't understand what they represented.
The little guy nodded. "Yes, that's why he can't do anything to his older brother. He can only bewitch his older brother when there's a weakness in his will, so that his older brother will voluntarily hand over control of his body!"
"In other words, as long as the eldest brother's will is strong enough, he will never be able to control the eldest brother's body."
Fusu lowered his head, his gaze calm, and muttered, "His will is strong enough..."
He seemed to be pondering the meaning of those words.
In the room, Meng Tian lay on the bed, his body mostly bandaged due to his serious injuries.
While the military doctor was examining him, Meng Tian had already opened his eyes.
The army doctor's face lit up with joy. "General, you're awake?!"
Meng Tian looked at him, his voice weak, "Where is the eldest son?"
The military doctor replied, "Young Master is fine. You should worry about yourself."
As he spoke, the military doctor placed his arm on Meng Tian's arm and began to take his pulse, but his brows gradually furrowed.
He looked at Meng Tian with a puzzled expression. "Strange, despite suffering such severe injuries, the general's breathing is very steady, and he seems perfectly fine..."
The soldier standing guard nearby replied, "It was very serious before; the general was vomiting blood, but after the young master came to see him, he's much better now."
Not only were the military doctors puzzled, but even the guards were very confused.
Based on Meng Tian's reaction earlier, he thought Meng Tian was going to die.
But then he seemed to get much better, and now, after a check-up by the military doctor, it is even more certain that Meng Tian has truly recovered.
Just then, Fusu walked in, and the two quickly bowed, "Greetings, Young Master!"
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"No need for formalities!" Fusu walked to the bedside and looked at Meng Tian with concern. "General Meng, how are you feeling?"
Meng Tian looked at Fu Su's eyes, which were as clear as ever, no longer the scarlet ones they used to be.
A smile appeared on his face. "That's great, young master is alright."
Fusu lowered his eyes slightly, "If only I could have helped more, General Meng wouldn't have been injured so badly."
Meng Tian looked at him and said, "Young master, please don't say that. With your status, it is already a remarkable thing that you are willing to take the initiative to do it."
Yes, given Fusu's status and Ying Zheng's favor towards him, he could have simply stayed as the most honored eldest son.
They are respected wherever they go, enjoy endless wealth and luxury, and live a life free from worries about food and clothing every day.
He could have chosen that path, but he didn't; instead, he chose to save those suffering.
Even in harsh environments, even when misunderstood by the world, even when he was sometimes in danger, he never chose to back down.
Fusu's eyes dimmed slightly. "Although we did it, the effect was always weak. It would be better if it were better."
Meng Tian looked at him, "Does Your Highness still remember that I watched you grow up?"
Fusu nodded, "Of course I remember!"
He would probably never forget Meng Tian, even on his deathbed.
Meng Tian smiled gently, “It is precisely because I have followed you for so long that I understand you better than anyone else. Even if the effect is limited, it is still the result of your best efforts.”
"Moreover, what's important about being by your side, young master, is not what kind of help you can provide, but your willingness to help. Even in times of hardship, you will feel warmed by your kindness."
"That sentiment is priceless, something only you, young master, possess. So those who meet you will be warmed by it to some extent, and thus feel grateful to you, young master, right?"
Fu Su's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Meng Tian with a questioning gaze, "Is that really so?"
Meng Tian nodded firmly, "How could this humble subject dare to lie to Your Highness?"
Just then, a commotion broke out outside. "Oh no! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
As the deafening sound of gongs and drums rang out, the entire territory descended into chaos, with soldiers moving back and forth, preparing to meet the enemy.
Upon hearing this, Meng Tian suddenly sat up and reached out to grab the armor.
Seeing this, Fusu quickly stopped him, "General Meng, you are still injured!"
Meng Tian looked at him with unwavering eyes, "As long as I can still move, I will go even if it means death!"
Fusu hesitated for a moment, "But..."
He knew that Meng Tian's body was extremely weak. If he forced himself to fight and inflicted new injuries or if old wounds reopened, he might very well lose his life.
Meng Tian reached out and grasped the armor. "This is my duty!"
Now, not only is Fusu in this territory, but Ying Zheng and Ying Ziyu are also here. If the Xiongnu were to break through, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fusu frowned and slowly withdrew his hand.
Meng Tian donned his armor, picked up his longsword, and stepped out. His deep voice rang out, "All generals, heed my command!"
"Follow me to kill! We swear to protect His Majesty to the death!"
With a roar, he led the remaining elite troops toward the thousands of Xiongnu soldiers charging towards them.
As Fusu stood inside the hall, a voice suddenly rang out, "Let me do it. If it's me, I can protect everyone."
The black figure reappeared before him, looking at him with a faint smile on its face.
