Chapter 1756 Events in the Capital City (5)
Besides, with the upcoming war, there might be some unrest since parts of Mu Family's territory was near the border with Shi Long Kingdom.
"Young Master, General Mu is not happy with the result."
"If Father didn't like it, he can come forward and settle the matter himself." Mu Sheng Shuang was calm. "A sharp person like him could not be dealt lightly. He will depart to Zhang Xu Kingdom's area soon, so you can think of how to settle him there."
The dark guard disappeared.
His task was only to deliver the message.
What happened afterwards was not his business.
Mu Sheng Shuang stayed in the carriage, relaxed. He knew that as long as he was still useful, his father would not abandon him. As for the rest, that was not for him to worry about. With that, he slowly closed his eyes. He knew very well that when returned to Mu Family 's territory, there would be more things for him to do. …
<Feng Family Residence, General Feng's location>
General Feng only came to the Capital City because of the discussion with the Emperor in regards for the next step. Not all generals were here, but those who could spare their time all gathered here. He was included because he would also participate in the next war.
The discussion didn't really turn out the way he wanted, but General Feng also knew that his words didn't hold that much weight because his position was actually not very high. As a person who didn't have much achievement over the years, it could be said that his sense of presence was a bit weak. After some rest with his wife, he was told that his son came to see him.
Considering that Feng Ao Kuai would go to Liang City soon, there might not be any other time for him to see Feng Ao Kuai again anytime soon. General Feng raised his head and saw Feng Ao Kuai coming inside.
"Father," Feng Ao Kuai greeted.
"You've grown up." General Feng nodded. He hadn't seen Feng Ao Kuai for a long time. To be honest, after these children become teenager, he basically didn't take care of them that much and leave them on their own. Aside from Feng Ao Si who followed him for a period of time on the battlefield, Feng Ao Kuai was left on his own from the very beginning and made his name along with Nan Luo and slowly rise step by step.
And General Feng was not present much in his son's growth. "Yes." Feng Ao Kuai nodded and looked at his father.
He hadn't seen his father in a long time. General Feng's place has always been near Wind City and over the years, Feng Ao Kuai rarely saw his father because of various reasons.
Right now, he felt that his father was indeed growing older.
The black hair now had some traces of white hair, something that he hadn't noticed before. He slowly lowered his head and then said, "Father, I'll be going again."
They never seemed to have enough time with each other because each time, one of them would have to go again. Even during the time when Feng Ao Si got married, General Feng only came for a very brief time and then departed again. He was busy and didn't have much time for his family.
"I know." General Feng sighed and then took out a game of go. "Let's play a game before you go?"
Feng Ao Kuai looked at the board and nodded. "Yes."
He sat down in front of his father and they started to play the game. "When I first taught you how to play go, you can't even calculate properly and would be annoyed because of losing," General Feng said.
Feng Ao Kuai silently put his piece. He could remember those days. At that time, he was only three or so years old and his father brought out a board game of go to him, asking him to play together. His older brother was playing outside and he was reading silently because he was not very interested in the boring game that his brother played. So when his father came back, he brought a board and asked Feng Ao Kuai to play a game with him. That was how Feng Ao Kuai started to like playing the game.
It allowed him to think more and when his father returned in the future, he was able to defeat him with ease. "I was young at that time and didn't think too much about my move," Feng Ao Kuai replied. "True." General Feng put another piece and then said, "But if you wish to make your name in the passage of history, you will need more than what you currently have."
Feng Ao Kuai looked at the board and then put his next piece almost without thinking. When he was playing this game, he was able to think about various possibilities of his father's move and the counter he planned. "I know, I'll not stop my planning."
"You're smart, Ao Kuai," General Feng said as he continued to play the game. "I hope you will not lose sight of yourself in your pursuit." Feng Ao Kuai paused for a moment and then smiled as he put the next piece. "Don't worry, there are many people around me who will pull me back if I ever have any problems." He's not alone. General Feng chuckled and nodded. "Good."
Soon, the game ended with Feng Ao Kuai's overwhelming victory. For several years, General Feng had not been Feng Ao Kuai's opponent. It was very easy for Feng Ao Kuai to defeat General Feng, but he didn't seem to mind at all. "Let's play again?"
"Good."
The father and son continued to play, peacefully and warmly. Nan Si Qiao watched the two's interaction in the distance and then left quietly. Even if she didn't understand them, she knew that this was their way of interacting with each other and she would not disturb them.
