"You still dare to try and sow discord between us and the young master? You have ulterior motives!"
The imperial physician was so angry at this idiot that he had a headache.
I've explained it so clearly, why doesn't Black Rat understand?
The Zhou family and Zhou Cheng are doomed. Rather than follow Zhou Cheng to their deaths, it's better to surrender to His Majesty. At this crucial moment, we can lend His Majesty a helping hand and stand up to accuse General Zhou of treason.
After all, since General Zhou's trusted confidants had said so, the people would no longer suspect that there was something else going on.
"Bestow names? Ha, bestowing names means he favors you?" The imperial physician sneered, continuing, "That's because Young Master Zhou feels guilty, so he's using this empty thing to make up for it!"
"idiot."
“He is just as selfish as his father. General Zhou selects his most loyal men to go to the border, and Zhou Cheng has chosen you to train in archery and crossbows, so that you can die in the critical moment.”
"You don't want wealth and glory, but insist on being someone else's stepping stone. Are you really that unreasonable?"
Black Rat's face was stern, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Shut up! Get out! Young Master isn't that kind of person! He must have his reasons for doing this!"
"He is. If you don't believe me, take a bet with me."
"Let's gamble on whether he'll ultimately push you out to take his place so he can escape the capital. At that point, you'll likely volunteer to stand up and accuse General Zhou of treason..."
"I bet your mother!" Black Rat couldn't hold back any longer.
Bang.
He swung his fist and delivered a powerful punch to the imperial physician, causing blood to flow from the physician's teeth.
The imperial physician was in so much pain he almost cried out, his face contorted in agony.
He never expected Black Rat to be so stubborn.
He was stubborn and convinced that Zhou Cheng would not abandon them, that Zhou Cheng had his own reasons, and that even in this life-or-death situation, he was willing to stand with the Zhou family through thick and thin.
The imperial physician covered his swollen and throbbing eyes, glared angrily at the black rat, and left feeling frustrated.
Black Rat stormed back to its dwelling.
Black Bull, Black Tiger, and the others had already heard the commotion outside the door. They all looked at each other in surprise before turning to look at the head guard, Black Rat.
"Captain of the Guard, the General..."
Black Rat raised his head, his eyes blazing with anger, and swept them over his companions. He said in a deep voice, "Do you also believe that damned imperial physician? Do you think that the young master chose us to send us to our deaths?"
"Do you intend to request to leave the manor at this time and sever ties with the General's Mansion?"
As soon as he said this...
The people opposite immediately waved their hands and shook their heads.
The twelve of them were brought to the capital from the border by the general, and had been adopted by the Zhou family since they could remember.
They eat the general's food, drink the general's drink, and use the general's things. So what if they really face a great calamity? How could they possibly abandon Zhou Cheng and leave alone at this critical moment of life and death?
"The general and the young master have been incredibly kind to me. Even if I were facing a great calamity, I would not back down."
"That's right! Let those servants say whatever they want! We're not leaving!"
“Since the young master wants us to practice archery and crossbows properly, he must have his reasons. Although outsiders say that the young master only knows how to play with women and is a good-for-nothing, we can’t think that way.”
"I believe you, young master!"
"I believe in you too, young master!"
"........"
Zhou Cheng stood outside the door and window, listening to the powerful sounds coming from inside the room. His chest trembled slightly, and a rare warmth washed over him.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; even husband and wife can fly away separately when disaster strikes.
These guards, whom their father picked up and raised from the border, are now able to steadfastly say they believe in him and will stand with him through thick and thin when faced with life and death. It's hard not to be moved by this.
