General Zhou's health really needs attention. Xiaoyu's spiritual energy can only cure illnesses, not save lives.
General Zhou's military career in the past few years had caused him a lot of damage to his body. Ten years ago, he was poisoned and his life was on the verge of death.
General Zhou, saved from certain death by Zhou Yuanyuan, owed his health and well-being to Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy. General Zhou wasn't a cultivator, so Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy, once in his body, would only last for a limited time. Unlike cultivators, it couldn't be locked away for a lifetime. Over time, the spiritual energy within General Zhou would slowly dissipate.
Judging from the time, the "medicinal effect" of Xiaoyu's spiritual energy on General Zhou is almost gone. If General Zhou wants to live a long life, he should pay more attention to his health.
Seeing that General Zhou had finally calmed down, Xiao Li no longer stood in the restaurant to be annoying, but ran to the door to stand guard.
"Yuanyuan! Is Ziqing really okay? Ouyang called back an hour ago and said that you intercepted him when he got off the bus. Ziqing went to the military district to report by himself. Ouyang will take the train back to Kyoto soon." After Xiao Li left, General Zhou asked about what he had been worried about.
In General Zhou's mind, Zhou Yuanyuan had always been like a superhero, seemingly capable of overcoming anything. Even the poisoning General Zhou had sustained ten years earlier had been easily resolved by Zhou Yuanyuan.
Wen Ziqing was ambushed this time, and it was the first time that General Zhou saw a panic expression on Zhou Yuanyuan's face.
"Well, Brother Ziqing is fine. I went to the Northern Military Region with him and came back after meeting their commander Zhu Zhenhua." Seeing that General Zhou had something to ask, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly finished the Wang Ma brand delicious buns in two or three bites. Facing General Zhou's hot gaze, Zhou Yuanyuan was embarrassed to eat for too long.
"Is Zhu Zhenhua okay? Let me guess, if he knew that Wen Ziqing was Wen Yulong's son, he would definitely make things difficult for him and be very mean-spirited. This kid hated evil when he was young, and now that he's older, his temper shouldn't be any worse. Hahaha..." General Zhou couldn't help laughing whenever he thought of Zhu Zhenhua's reaction after he knew Wen Ziqing's identity.
Huh? There's a story? Zhou Yuanyuan smelled gossip in General Zhou's words.
"Your Uncle Wen, oh, that's Wen Ziqing's father. When he was transferred from the Southeast Military Region to the Northern Military Region a few years ago, he saw the poor conditions in the Northern Military Region and said a few sarcastic words. Zhu Zhenhua couldn't stand his young master's behavior and gave him a good beating." General Zhou couldn't help laughing when he thought of that incident.
"Grandpa Zeng, tell me quickly how Zhu Zhenhua dealt with that scumbag... Uncle Wen." Zhou Yuanyuan almost swallowed the word "scumbag" from her lips. In Zhou Yuanyuan's mind, Wen Yulong was a scumbag who betrayed Wen Ziqing's mother.
"Well... Zhu Zhenhua didn't go too far. He just asked Wen Yulong to lead the team to do stealth training, smeared some horse manure on Wen Yulong's body, and kept him in a smelly stable for a day and a night." General Zhou sighed while laughing when talking about this incident.
Zhu Zhenhua was a ruthless man, which was why he rose through the ranks so quickly. He knew Wen Yulong was a germaphobe, so he deliberately disciplined him. After all, soldiers defending their country shouldn't be picky. On missions, wouldn't they lie down for dozens of hours even in the stinkier swamps, let alone the stables? Furthermore, during that latent training, Zhu Zhenhua himself, like Wen Yulong, had been smeared with horse manure to set an example, not standing by to watch Wen Yulong's disgrace.
Wen Yulong was a man of many talents but lacked composure. After being disciplined by Zhu Zhenhua, instead of overcoming his own psychological barriers, he developed a deep hatred for Zhu Zhenhua. Wen Yulong didn't attempt to replace Zhu Zhenhua on his own. Instead, to distance himself from Zhu Zhenhua, he followed He Shumin's path and was transferred back to the Kyoto Military Region.
Wen Yulong's prestige was greatly reduced by this transfer. If Wen Yulong could endure this humiliation and stay in the Northern Military Region, devoting himself to practical work, he might have a chance of promotion.
Wen Yulong's transfer, while obvious to all, was a flawed one. However, the fact that he was being transferred along He Shumin's lines left General Zhou's old subordinates, like Yuan Datou, baffled. Everyone knew that He Shumin, the old fox, was hell-bent on bringing General Zhou down. Was Wen Yulong attempting to surrender to He Shumin, or was he trying to distance himself from his relative, General Zhou?
Wen Yulong made one mistake after another, and finally he listened to his wife Wu Xiuli's pillow talk in a daze and gave such a big piece of fat meat as the supply of military supplies for the Kyoto Military District to his two brothers-in-law. As a result, the two brothers-in-law were incompetent and greedy, and finally implicated Wen Yulong.
After hearing General Zhou's account of the "grudge" between Zhu Zhenhua and Wen Yulong, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile. No wonder Zhu Zhenhua was so rude to Wen Ziqing! It turned out that Zhu Zhenhua mistook Wen Ziqing for a "fool" like Wen Yulong. However, Wen Yulong was still Wen Yulong, and Wen Ziqing was still Wen Ziqing. Zhou Yuanyuan had no intention of "forgiving" Zhu Zhenhua just yet, considering she was a "woman" who would take revenge.
"Grandpa Zeng, this time my brother Ziqing and I went to the secret realm. The cultivators in the secret realm may have a fight in the near future..." Zhou Yuanyuan told General Zhou about her trip to the secret realm in detail. She focused on the conflict between the Yushan Sect and the Maoshan Sect. In Zhou Yuanyuan's opinion, because of Mao Daling's matter, the Yushan Sect and the Maoshan Sect will have a war sooner or later. It's just a matter of time before this fight. Zhou Yuanyuan was a little worried. Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that if the fight in the secret realm was too intense, some cultivators would leave the secret realm and move to the secular world to live. A group of cultivators who were superior to the secular world in terms of military force would be an unstable factor for the secular world!
Of course! Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't tell General Zhou about the Jade Mountain Sect cultivators mistaking He Jingjing for Wen Ziqing's fiancée, or about her and Wen Ziqing robbing the Jade Mountain Sect leader's treasure vault. The former involved too much specialized knowledge, and revealing it would also bring up issues like "body possession" in the world of cultivation. The latter was simply to avoid alarming General Zhou and his men. Secrets remain secrets because few know them. While General Zhou wouldn't publicize Zhou Yuanyuan's actions, the cultivators' numerous tactics were difficult to defend against. Keeping him in the dark was the best protection he could offer.
Zhou Yuanyuan's abridged version of the commentary took more than half an hour.
After listening to this, General Zhou sighed heavily.
