1123 [Bonus chapter]Next Generation
But he didn’t know whether this was a good thing or not.
After all, Song Chuan also knew that it was during big wars that many heroes will be born. These commanders who had yet beco generals, these generals who were aiming to beco great generals, would all be tempered greatly in the series of brutal wars that will co next.
Will they succeed?
Will they fail?
Song Chuan didn’t know.
Only ti can tell.
…
.....
After the short morning court in which Emperor Yang Zhou reviewed their battle plan with Wei Da Kingdom, Song Chuan left quietly. He slowly made his way towards Long Family Residence and looked at the grand residence in front of him.
For the past two to three years, Old Madam Long didn’t co out at all.
She was staying inside the residence and no one can make this old lady co out and greeted them. Of course, if the Imperial Family ca, she will still co forward, but since the Imperial Family was busy, there was simply no ti for them to spare to find this old lady and disturb her.
Song Chuan ca to Long Family Residence and the steward announced his arrival. Because they were already used to him coming to visit from ti to ti, the servants had long told Old Madam Long.
Old Madam Long was staying in the garden, appreciating the flowers in front of her. She turned her head slightly when she saw Song Chuan walked in.
“Xiao Chuan is not busy?”
“Replying to Old Madam Long, this one is paying a short visit after the morning court to see you, Old Madam Long.”
“What is there to see from this old bone?” Old Madam Long waved her hand. She looked at Song Chuan carefully and smiled faintly. “It’s already ti for the war, isn’t it?”
Song Chuan was startled and then cupped his fist. “Yes, Old Madam Long.”
“I see.”
Old Madam Long was not surprised.
Back during the ti when her husband was still active at the battlefield, he had said that it was their dream to conquer the other five kingdoms. Emperor Huan also longed to see that day.
But it was impossible at that ti.
Fei Yang Kingdom was not strong enough and the other kingdoms were also at their peak, which caused battles to last for so many years without seeing its end.
Now, Emperor Yang Zhou had finally taken that step.
“Old Madam Long,” Song Chuan called out, “General Long will be the one appointed to lead the battle. At the sa ti, his rank will be raised temporarily to be similar to that of a great general.”
Great general…
Old Madam Long’s finger trembled a bit when she heard that phrase. It was the title that her husband was proud of but also sighed deeply because the weight between the two words were very heavy.
‘So, Xiao Ming had finally catch up, huh?’
The little brat who used to follow his father and claid that he will beco a general surpassing his father had now truly achieved his father’s rank. It will take ti for him to have the sa influence as his father, but Old Madam Long only felt that it was hard on her son.
He had to work hard.
While his family mbers were left behind in the Capital City.
Old Madam Long sighed.
She thought of her little grandson who was also fighting at the frontline. The Long Family had truly paid so much for this kingdom. She just hoped that it was worth all the sacrifices they had given.
“You may leave.”
Song Chuan knew that Old Madam Long was not in the state to talk, so he cupped his fist and left.
The garden was quiet.
Old Madam Long sat on her reclining chair and looked at the blue sky above her, praying to the Heavens to protect her son and grandson.
…
It was not only Old Madam Long who heard the news. Old Master Nan was listening to the report given by his subordinate in regards to the Emperor’s decision and sighed deeply.
Back then, he and the other two were also dreaming to be able to see the entire land within the sa kingdom.
But no matter how much they tried, they couldn’t fully conquer other kingdoms.
The three of them sighed.
It was a pity.
Emperor Huan was getting older and so were they.
Their dream couldn’t be realized by themselves, so they had to entrust the younger generations will be able to bring forward this dream and fully realized it. That was what they hoped back then.
< “Will there be soone among the younger generation who truly could do it?” Old Master Long once asked.>
< “I believe in them.” Old Master Shangguan laughed. He held the cup of wine towards the other three n.>
Old Master Nan closed his eyes.
The images from back then disappeared one by one.
Their last gathering was held just a few days before Emperor Huan’s death. After that, Emperor Xuan took the throne because the two grandsons were still too young. Fei Yang Kingdom experienced so massive changes during that ti.
The three of them were helpless and could only do their duties as the great general. Even Emperor Xuan will not dare to touch this great general system that his father established before him.
If he did…
There will be extrely fierce resistance at the court.
Old Master Nan sighed.
‘I can’t participate this ti, brats. Don’t die out there.’
