"There's nothing you can do about what other people are saying. The best solution will be to prove with actions. Time is the best method." Feng Ao Kuai looked into the distance.
Because time will allow them to slowly forget about it.
Mu Sheng Xi slowly nodded.
Even if he didn't want to accept this, he knew very well that Feng Ao Kuai was saying the truth.
Feng Ao Kuai waved his hand. "I'm going to greet the others."
Mu Sheng Xi arched his eyebrows, watching Feng Ao Kuai greeting the other nobles with a strange expression. From what he knew after interacting with Feng Ao Kuai for a period of time, Feng Ao Kuai was not the type to like talking with others.
He was a relatively cold person.
But this time, Feng Ao Kuai was taking the initiative to talk with these few nobles and officials in Liang City. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai was trying to prepare himself to change his identity. He shook his head and looked around.
There was someone he had to talk with.
…
<Nan Hua's side>
Talking with these people were very annoying in Nan Hua's opinion. She could still interact with them, but she had to be careful with what she said and do or it would be easily criticized in front of their eyes.
This was no less tiring than when she was busy practicing martial arts back then.
"General Jun."
Nan Hua turned and saw Mu Sheng Xi came to her and nodded in return. "Young Commander Mu."
Mu Sheng Xi's eyes flashed strangely. He didn't expect that this famous General Jun would actually know the name of the commanders who were of lower ranking. After all, for these high ranked people, it was hard to remember those below them unless they have connections or something like that.
This was not the first time he talked with Jun Hua. Back when the soldiers under General Cao were interrogated, he was naturally present and had even watched some of them. Though, he was still filled with deep disbelief back then.
"General Jun, I have a request."
"Request?" seeing how direct Mu Sheng Xi was, Nan Hua could guess that this should be related to the fact that the soldiers who followed General Cao were all assigned to her army. After she was formally appointed as the general of Fei Yang Kingdom, this matter was even more absolute.
There was no way they would be placed under anyone else.
At least, for now.
"Yes." Mu Sheng Xi took a deep breath and cupped his fist while bowing slightly. "I wish that you can allow me to follow you on the frontline, General Jun."
Nan Hua's eyes flickered. She looked at Mu Sheng Xi. "The soldiers' arrangement are not entirely up to my words."
"I know." Mu Sheng Xi pursed his lips. "I don't wish to follow all the time and only during some wars where we can be reassigned. I hope that you can fulfill my request, General Jun."
Looking at the young man who bowed towards her, Nan Hua knew that Mu Sheng Xi still couldn't let it go. But even if he couldn't get it now, it didn't mean that he couldn't get it in the future.
He had promised to regain the glory of Mu Family and for that, he will work hard.
There were many people who wished for his success and Mu Sheng Xi will work hard for the sake of himself and his family.
"Alright but only for large scale wars."
"Thank you, General Jun. That will be enough." Mu Sheng Xi beamed and bowed slightly once more before leaving.
Nan Hua's gaze landed on Mu Sheng Xi's back for a moment before she moved her eyes away. Even if she truly wished to help Mu Sheng Xi, she could only provide the platform and not handing everything over to him in a silver platter.
How much he could gain by following her, she would not interfere and will let him grow.
After talking with Mu Sheng Xi, Nan Hua swept her gaze across the hall and noticed that General Chi was being approached by Jian Yu Tan. It seemed that one way or another, she managed to come here.
Oh wait, she's Ku You's wife, so she was naturally qualified to come here.
it was just that Ku You's current position in the court was not as high as he used to be. There was no way Jian Yu Tan could be as proud as she used to be.
Nan Hua only glanced and then looked away again.
lightsΝοvel She was not interested in their drama.
…
<General Chi's side>
General Chi talked with a few polite nobles and officials who came to him. Looking at his condition, it was not hard to guess that he would retire. But even if they knew that, they would not hit his face and mentioned this matter so blatantly.
On the surface, they were still maintaining the so called basic courtesy.
He had just finished talking with the few who maintained the polite appearance when he saw his former wife coming.
His eyebrows frowned in clear displeasure.
"It's been a while, General Chi." Jian Yu Tan looked at General Chi up and down. After not seeing General Chi for so many years, he didn't look much different from back then when they were still together.
General Chi was a martial artist and he looked a bit younger than his real age suggested him to be.
Even now, he still looked like he was in his thirties even when he was already in his forties.
"Indeed, Madam Ku." General Chi nodded.
Jian Yu Tan's eyes flashed when she heard the way General Chi greeted her. She had never told him about her remarriage because she felt that he was still useful. Even if she didn't like him, she would not cross the river and burn the bridge.
But his way of speaking told her that he didn't want to be associated with her.
