Chapter 1395: Chapter 341: Xue San Returns (Part 2)

You once stood at the mountain peak, gazing at the scenery, so you felt, it’s just that.

But in a person’s life, whether they see that scenery or not is not the most important thing, because the vast majority of people in this world are destined never to reach the summit in their lifetime.

People just enjoy climbing a mountain, enjoy the process itself.

You have seen through the storm, but Dahu is still young after all. You can’t bind such a young child to live a meditative old monk’s life with you.

You think you are doing this for his own good, but isn’t this a kind of domineering and authoritarian act of a father?

Perhaps even cruel.

The path is under his feet, he has to choose it himself. Perhaps he will get lost in the scenery at the summit, or perhaps, like you, he will just see it and that’s it.

But, he must walk up there himself.

You have the conditions and the prestige, while I have the resources;

After this campaign against Chu, I can personally ask Dahu if he would like to be my adoptive son."

"You are too good at sweet-talking people, getting them to die for you. Gou Moli is upfront about it, but you’re more insidious."

"Don’t praise me like that, I’ll get proud."

"But I’m curious, why did you suddenly say this to me?"

"There are three reasons: First, to some extent, you and I are the same kind of person, serious about... family we recognize. If every day recognized you as a mentor, you would protect him.

Second, the only defense old Tian has now is actually every day. I want to add more assurance for that child."

"I thought this second reason should be saved as the third as a finale." the Sword Saint said.

"The sword maid is born a sword embryo, but my godson is definitely not ordinary either. His talent is truly extraordinary, I can tell."

He has a strong destiny and a good physique.

Look at the wild people’s king living next to Shatuo Queshi being tortured, but every day grew up on the coffin lid of Shatuo Queshi with no issues, and even enjoyed his food immensely.

He can even be pampered by Mo Wan as a playmate, Mo Wan is "spirit," a spirit is only interested in beings with "spirituality."

"Talking about these things now is too early, I don’t wish to be entangled too deeply with you."

"Is it that estranged?"

"Not estranged, but being too deeply involved is inconvenient for both."

"Alright, then let’s talk after this battle is over."

At this moment,

Gou Moli called the group.

Liang Cheng, the blind man, Fanli, A Ming, and also Jin Shuke.

Jin Shuke had just been busy here after a meal and just arrived in mourning attire, only to be called back.

The Sword Saint dislikes this kind of scene, moreover, he doesn’t need to participate in it, so he left again.

Lord Zheng sat on the bed, while everyone else sat below.

"Just a while ago, Prince Jingnan came and spoke to me about some matters..."

Lord Zheng recounted Prince Jingnan’s words without hiding anything.

Soon,

The blind man spoke: "My lord, this is a good thing."

Gou Moli nodded and said: "Lord Zheng, regardless of any future difficult tasks, let’s not mention those for now. The priority is to regain vitality and use this opportunity to expand our strength."

There’s food in front, let’s eat it first, that’s the right move."

Lord Zheng nodded and said: "Eating is definitely necessary. After all, besides eating, we have no other choice. It’s just that there are some things to arrange next.

I need to report to the King’s Tent in a couple of days.

Here at East Mountain Fort, a person needs to stay to guard; and someone must go to the rear to be responsible for recruiting soldiers."

This is a meeting, basically arranging tasks.

When a force grows to a certain extent, no longer confined to a single nest, there are more opportunities for subordinates to take charge.

The blind man scanned around, among those present, Fanli could be excluded because he is only suitable for running errands and charging, not for tasks.

The wild people’s king there, he temporarily handles the wild people’s slave soldiers, although his ability is strong, he should still be used sparingly.

So, when calculating carefully, there aren’t many suitable candidates for tasks.

The blind man didn’t rush to state his opinion, but waited for my lord to speak first.

"Here’s my plan, A Ming, accompany me to the King’s Tent."

A Ming heard and said; "My lord, isn’t A Cheng accompanying you?"

Liang Cheng is present, allowing a standard answer.

Although in the prior East Mountain Fort battle, Liang Cheng almost lost, but it is not his fault, it’s unavoidable.

In fact, it was precisely because of Liang Cheng’s proper command in the siege that Shi Yuantang was forced to launch an early counterattack, realizing he couldn’t sustain until the Yan Army was completely worn out before striking back.

Liang Cheng spoke: "My lord, no problem."

Lord Zheng chuckled and said: "It’s not that I don’t want to take A Cheng with me, but the affairs of East Mountain Fort need someone to hold the situation.

Also, don’t forget, we have Gong Wang’s and Gongsun Zhi’s troops nearby, someone has to stay and represent me to repress them."

The blind man nodded at these words, clearly agreeing with my lord’s decision.

Of course, this time Lord Zheng dares to leave without A Cheng for a couple of reasons: firstly, because he is considered fully trained, having experienced and seen so much over the years, no longer the naive young man he once was.

Secondly, because the foundational teaching phase is over, even Tian Wujing himself said that staying by his side was meant to teach him to manage military affairs and that he wouldn’t be facing basic problems again but rather, complex military topics that are now open-ended assignments.
