Chapter 32

After the world of truth stood up, the general looked at him and asked, "What do you want?"

The world of truth blinked and said, "I want to follow the general. If the general goes to war, I want to follow him. I can be a military doctor or a traveling doctor. I can treat illnesses after all. It won't be useless to take me with you."

He looked like he was about to cry and said he was going to kneel down.

The general quickly supported him and let him stand up. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible. I can still add one person to my team. But after you go in, you can't be petty, you can't do whatever you want, you can't disobey orders, you can't break the rules... Can you do all that?"

The world of truth blinked and said, "I can do it."

Even if he can't do it, the system can help him and let him do it. He can definitely do it. So now he agreed right away without any hesitation.

The World of Truth answered very quickly, but the general stroked his beard, a little unconvinced. He looked at the World of Truth suspiciously and asked, "Really?"

The World of Truth nodded.

The general thought about it again, glanced at the World of Truth, and simply said to him, "It's not that I don't want to believe you, I just think that you answered so readily, as if you were confident. I have never met someone like you before, and I am a little confused. Can you tell me how you can be so confident?"

The World of Truth lowered his eyes and replied, "I have admired the general for a long time and have wanted to join the general's team for a long time. If I hadn't had the opportunity to meet the general this time, I would have gone to the army to register. Although meeting the general was an accident, it was not an accident that I wanted to join the general's team. If the general didn't believe my sincerity "If you agree, you can put me in the team. If I can't do it, I won't be late."

The general thought for a while and said, "Okay. Since I promised you, and the request you put forward is something I can do, and you said it so confidently, I will believe you this time. You can join my team, but if the emperor has an order, you must follow. Are you willing?"

The world of truth nodded: "I am willing!"

The general said: "Okay."

He waved to the world of truth: "Then you go. I will arrange someone to take care of you. Don't stand out too much and don't drag your feet."

The world of truth replied: "Yes."

This matter was considered settled.

The general's illness was slightly better, and the emperor issued an order for the general to go to the palace to meet him.

When the general came back, the team was about to set off. The World of Truth mixed in with the team. When he was taking a rest on the way, he found the general and asked, "I see that the general seems to have a sad face. What happened to the general? Why did you suddenly leave the general's mansion? This is not good for your condition. Do you remember what I said before?"

The general sighed and waved to him, "Come and sit down, I will tell you."

The World of Truth hesitated for a moment, walked over, and sat opposite the general, with only a table between them.

The general put down the cup of water in his hand and said, "The emperor asked me to come to the palace to meet him because of this matter. He wants me to go to a distant place to quell the rebellion. This time it's not the Hu people outside the border who are causing trouble, but the right prime minister, general, county magistrate, and county magistrate of our country, Anlu City, who is rebelling with his soldiers. He wants to rebel against the court and our country. I don't want to go, but I have to go.

As a general, it is my duty to defend my country.

The emperor has no one to use now, so he can only look for me. Now that he has found me, I can't refuse. Even if I want to refuse, what can I say? I can't say I'm afraid. I am not that timid.

Before today, I was ill for a long time. The emperor sympathized with me and did not let me go out to fight frequently. Now that I am needed, I refuse again. What kind of person am I? There is nothing I can do about it.

You don’t know that many soldiers died on the battlefield before today. I didn’t go because I was sick and in Kyoto. Now at this time, I can’t retreat, I can’t even think about it. How can someone say that I can’t do it before the matter has even started? Helping the enemy to kill my own prestige! I won’t do it.

Moreover, some soldiers could have been used, but the emperor killed them in a rage, and the others were killed. No matter how much I try to persuade him, no matter how much I try to stop him, the situation has gradually come to this point today. I can't delay any longer. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll hear the news of a crushing defeat before I even leave the house, and I'll be killed by the rebels at the door. If that happens, I'd rather

die on the battlefield. What's more, I may not die on the battlefield. Believe me, I won't let the soldiers die. Who aren't my flesh and blood relatives? Who didn't follow me because they believed in me? Who didn't want to defend their country? I can't just watch them die with me!

This is indeed a bit unfair. "I have been waiting for you for a while. I wanted to give you some time to adjust to the new environment, but you have encountered something that has to happen. If you cannot adjust well, I will not make it difficult for you. I can give you some money and send you home. You can use the money to buy an acre or two of thin land in your hometown and live on it. I will let the people in the general's mansion take care of you, and you can still live on it.

You don't have to be like me, with your head tied to your belt, to survive, right?

I am not saying these words to look down on you, so don't be angry."

The general hesitated, filled the cup with water, and handed it to the World of Truth, signaling him not to make a fuss.

The World of Truth took the cup, looked at the water in the cup, smiled and said: "I know what the general means, but I don't plan to leave. I came here for this matter, how can I leave when the time comes? Wouldn't that be being unkind and unjust? The general wants me to be that kind of person, but I don't want to. What's more, I know that the general has good intentions towards me, and I appreciate it.

There is no need for you to leave. General, do you understand what I mean?"

The World of Truth put the cup on the table with a bang, and looked at the general.

The general was shocked, his face was stunned, and then he smiled: "Good. You are worthy of being my rescuer! I believe you will not escape from the battlefield. I know you are a good person, but these cannot prove that you can definitely survive the war. War is a meat grinder. I can't repay kindness with enmity and lead you to death! You... you should think about it again?" His

expression when he looked at the world of truth was as gentle as a roasted, soft, hot and golden potato.

It was an extremely gentle expression.

But unfortunately, the World of Truth remained indifferent: "I have thought about it. I have said it more than once, right? General, if you are hard of hearing or forgetful now, I can mention it to you a few more times. Please don't say such things to me in the future. I will be sad too."

Although he said so, his face did not change at all when he said he was sad.

The World of Truth stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

The general looked at him, poured a glass of wine, stood up and handed it to him: "Well, since you are so determined, I misunderstood you. Drink this glass of wine, and I will not bother you about this matter again. How do you think?"

The World of Truth took the wine and drank it, then returned the cup to the general. A hint of coldness escaped from his throat, but he still smiled at the general, looking as if he was gentle. He saluted and left.

The general stroked the wine in the cup and smiled, "He is still a man with a temper, like my pony."

He put the cup on the table next to him, sighed, and turned back to his previous seat.

The team arrived at the battlefield, and the enemy was defeated.

Seeing that victory was imminent, the general was very happy, but a strong wind blew over, and the general's old illness relapsed and he lay down again. This time it seemed very serious, and his leg injury relapsed. He lay in bed, unable to sleep day and night, but unable to concentrate, tossing and turning in bed, although he did not wail, he was not much better.

People heard that the medical skills of the World of Truth were good, so they remembered and invited him to treat the general. The general was very sick and stiff, his mind was a mess, and he seemed to see nothing even with his eyes closed. When he heard that the World of Truth had arrived, he just rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to see, but he didn't see anything. The World of Truth came over, checked him, sat next to him, and shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

The deputy general came over and asked excitedly, "What's the matter? What's wrong with you, what's wrong..."

Why are you shaking your head? !

The World of Truth said with a fake smile: "I have long told you to recuperate, but how can a general recuperate when he goes out to fight? He works hard all day long, and it is good enough that he did not die on the road. What is happening now is also expected. I have no choice but to say that if the general cannot go home as soon as possible to recuperate for at least a month, I am afraid we will have to prepare for the funeral."

The deputy general was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Dog! I will kill you! If you say such nonsense again, I will kill you now! Don't think that I will not dare to kill you just because you are a doctor and you know the general!"

The World of Truth smiled while sitting at the table.

The deputy general was provoked. He drew his knife on the spot, put it on the neck of the World of Truth, and roared: "Hurry up! Stand up and treat the general. If the general can't be cured, I will kill you and bury you with the general!"

The soldiers next to him were either stunned or tried to persuade him but were pushed away. They looked at each other, there was really nothing they could do.

The World of Truth charged forward with its neck erect: "Do you think I am unwilling to cure you? If I could cure you, why would I be here talking nonsense to you? I have made it very clear, but you just won't listen, right? If you don't want to listen, just kill me now! Even if you kill me, it will still be useless. Do you think that if I die, the general's illness will be cured? Dream on."

The deputy general saw a wound on the neck of the World of Truth that was filled with fresh blood. He calmed down a little, hesitated to put the knife back, turned his back and said angrily: "Damn it, I don't believe it!"
