Similarly, he's happy to see others doing badly.
"Chu Qing, I did blame your brother for being incompetent and unable to protect you before, but things are different now. Trust your brother and come back with me, okay?"
After hearing that Chu Qing knew medicine, Brother Chu had this thought on his mind.
If he could bring Chu Qing back, he would have no worries about making a living.
As long as Chu Qing is around, his wife will eventually realize how regrettable it was to miss out on someone like him, and their lives might just turn back to how they were before.
When Lao Qi and several other generals heard what this man said, they were all stunned. They looked at each other to make sure they hadn't misheard, and then looked at Brother Chu with pity.
Countless others like him have died at the hands of generals.
After living in this small courtyard for a while, everyone could see how important Doctor Chu was to the general. To put it bluntly, this man was simply asking for trouble.
In front of the general, he said he would take Doctor Chu away.
If it were the original owner of this body, she would probably have been easily fooled by her brother's few words.
After reading about the original owner's childhood, Chu Qing felt that his family had a tendency to manipulate him, always instilling in him the idea that no matter how good outsiders were, they could never compare to his own family.
If it were truly a family with a very good family atmosphere, this statement, though somewhat extreme, would not be entirely wrong. However, the original owner's family was not like that at all.
They never put anything into action, but only offered a few words as if they wanted to prove their love for their child, which was truly laughable.
The original owner was a pitiful little thing who grew up in that kind of environment. If someone gave him a little bit of love, he would hold on to it tightly and even think that the person was not bad.
But now, hearing what Brother Chu said, Chu Qing felt utterly bored.
He's not the naive guy who gets moved to tears by a few words from others; he never has been.
Having Wei Yutang by my side is wonderful. He can do everything to the best of his ability, making others look down on the kindness they show him.
"You weren't very capable back then, and you're still the same now."
Chu Qing stood up and walked to Wei Yutang, who was trying to shield her.
He was happy that Wei Yutang was willing to help him with some things, but he had to do some things himself.
Just like now, every word Brother Chu says seems to indicate that he wants to take him away. Rather than saying that Brother Chu suddenly had a change of heart and began to hope that his younger brother could return to his side, Chu Qing is more willing to believe that he has his eye on the benefits he can gain.
She felt that if she went back with him, she could help improve his life.
It's not unusual to encounter such people after becoming famous. Although Chu Qing has no memory, she has long been used to this kind of life.
Others fawned over him and tried to curry favor with him for various reasons, but Wei Yutang was the only one who stood by his side and firmly supported him when he had nothing and was nobody at the very beginning.
"you!"
This is the kind of thing Brother Chu least wants to hear. Even if the person who said it is Chu Qing, whom he wants to please, he still feels like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
"Can't you be a little more ambitious? You're not like before, unwanted and alone. What kind of future can you have with a hunter like this? Listen to me, come back with me!"
Chu Qing avoided his attempt to pull her back, stood there with a frown, and felt a little displeased.
He didn't like being touched by others, and physical contact made Chu Qing feel an instinctive aversion and resistance. Only Wei Yutang and Chu Qing were exceptions.
"Wherever Wei Yutang is now, that's where I'll go."
If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay together for the rest of their lives; only death can separate them.
This was Chu Qing's mission, and also something he wanted to do himself.
Humans are not plants or trees; through their daily interactions, he had long since placed Wei Yutang in his heart. It wasn't just liking him; it was a sense of security that he was destined to spend his life with him.
Old Qi was worried about how they would handle the aftermath if the general got angry and did something rash.
In this small mountain village, the general's identity has not yet been exposed. If blood were to spill on the spot, it would be a bit troublesome to handle.
But now, seeing the general standing there with a smile on his lips, he realized he was overthinking things. With Doctor Chu around, there was nothing to worry about.
The general no longer looked as cold as he used to; he was clearly just an ordinary person who could be easily coaxed by Doctor Chu with a few words.
Wei Yutang was indeed very angry just now. For a moment, his eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Brother Chu. He couldn't accept anyone trying to take Chu Qing away from him.
But then he was comforted by Chu Qing's words that wherever he was, he would be there too.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not a big deal. Fighting and killing is too brutal. Don't scare Chu Qing or the three little ones who are watching the commotion at the door.
After Chu Qing finished speaking, she seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, and took the initiative to bring up another matter with him.
"I've already decided to leave here for the capital."
Brother Chu, who was initially furious, suddenly raised his head upon hearing this. The capital? What are they going to the capital for?
"You guys, going to the capital?"
Since he couldn't achieve his goal, Brother Chu stopped pretending to be a brother to Chu Qing as before and exposed his ugliest side to Chu Qing, mercilessly mocking him.
"People like you wouldn't even be willing to be servants, let alone go to the capital of Yu Xi Tuan?"
Brother Chu had heard some time ago that there were people looking for servants, and without thinking, he assumed that they were doing the same thing. Apart from that reason, he really couldn't think of anything else that could make these ordinary people go to the capital.
Chu Qing glanced at the man chopping wood and inexplicably felt that it was unfair to him if he was always seen as a failure by others.
Wei Yutang was never an ordinary hunter; the scar on his face was left to protect the millions of ordinary people behind him.
Chu Qing never thought the scar was ugly. On the contrary, the occasional touch of the scar with his fingertips would bring him a unique shock.
"Furthermore, he was no ordinary hunter."
Wei Yutang reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had felt this kind of protection before, but no one could give him the same feeling as Chu Qing.
He never cared what outsiders thought of him, but Chu Qing's desire to protect him filled his chest with inexplicable emotions.
"What? This stinky hunter's got gold plating now?"
"Don't tell me you've lost your mind from treating so many patients, or you've gone mad? Chu Qing, your parents were murdered and ended up in that state. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Since you don't know how to improve yourself and want to spend your whole life with such a good-for-nothing hunter, then I won't stop you. Do whatever you want."
"Even if you die out there, don't come looking for food from your older brother!"
He had barely finished speaking when a group of people stopped at the door. They were all dressed in armor, sitting on tall horses, and looked very imposing. They were the kind of people that ordinary people would know they couldn't afford to offend.
Wei Yutang planned to return to the capital, so naturally he had to write a letter to the young emperor in advance.
This time, unlike last time when he went back alone, he brought Chu Qing and Xia Xia with him. Everything, from where they stayed to other things, needed to be arranged properly.
When the young emperor heard that his teacher was going back to the capital, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night and started making arrangements right away.
The gentleman has always acted in a free and unrestrained manner; who knows, he might change his mind about something he decided on today.
If it weren't for the fact that he had personally sent someone to pick up the gentleman, he would still be somewhat uneasy. So he sent the team he trusted most, who were also the gentleman's former subordinates.
After the leader dismounted, he knelt on one knee outside the courtyard, followed by the others who also dismounted and knelt, saying in unison:
"We, your humble servants, are here on His Majesty's orders to welcome the General back to the capital."
These people never imagined they would see the general again in their lifetime, and their voices trembled with excitement, deafeningly loud.
Chapter 123
General? Brother Chu took a careful look at the people in the courtyard. No matter who they were, they didn't seem like generals to him.
Finally, the person he least wanted to believe stepped forward, slightly raised his head towards the group of soldiers, and said in a deep voice:
"Rise."
"Thank you, General Xie."
This group of men were originally Wei Yutang's personal guards. After he left the capital, they became His Majesty's personal guards and were always highly valued, making them look exceptionally impressive.
Chu Qing vaguely felt as if he had touched upon a realm he had never explored before.
He had always known that Wei Yutang was excellent, but he never imagined that he was this excellent.
"how?"
Wei Yutang noticed that Chu Qing's gaze was different from before, so he took Chu Qing's hand and introduced him to his former personal guards:
"Wife".
"Your humble servants pay their respects to Madam."
Even now, Chu Qing still isn't quite used to being called "Madam," while her older brother Chu had already secretly left when no one was looking.
He had barely stepped out of the courtyard when Wei Yutang stared at his back for a long time.
Wei Yutang could not tolerate anyone trying to take Chu Qing away from him, even if that person was Chu Qing's brother.
Out of consideration for his brother Chu Qing, he wouldn't kill him, but if he didn't teach him a lesson, Chu Qing might mistakenly think he was easy to bully.
Xiaxia, Da Niu, and Er Hu were originally lying there watching the excitement, but when they saw these soldiers appear in front of them, their eyes immediately lit up.
Although the little ones had previously felt that Xiaxia's father was too strict with them, it was undeniable that these clothes looked very impressive on them.
Xiaxia patted her chest and stared at Da Niu and Er Hu.
One day, he too will wear such magnificent armor, sit on a tall horse, and be even more handsome than his father.
Chu Qing inadvertently noticed Xia Xia's eyes shining, but at that moment she didn't realize anything.
Wei Yutang originally didn't care about these minor details, but after realizing that Chu Qing was not satisfied with his way of handling things, he gradually changed his mind.
He himself may not feel sorry for himself, but there are always people who do.
If I were to completely disregard everything else, I would be letting down the person who likes me.
The village is only a tiny place, so the news spread very quickly.
Few people were willing to believe that the hunter, whom almost no one in the village respected, was actually the national general known throughout the country.
There has only ever been one person who could be called a great general. Almost everyone knows that if it weren't for this general, they might have become refugees long ago.
Everyone remembered the general's contributions to their country, and even in this remote mountain village, people had heard various rumors about him.
Even if this general is ugly, has a terrible scar on his face, and is not good at speaking, countless people will still admire him.
His achievements far exceed what his appearance can diminish, and those who admire this general will not find anything wrong with him because of his looks.
To summarize this general's character in terms of his appearance would be too narrow-minded.
Having a very good-looking appearance is of little use on the battlefield. There was once a young general on the border whose appearance was so exquisite that no one respected him. This situation only improved after he achieved some merits.
