Chapter 1571 Victory Banquet (2)

Speaking of his father, he wondered how General Feng was doing at the border with Shi Long Kingdom. He hadn\'t heard many pieces of news.

And thankfully, it seemed that his father was also toning down in his advance, thus he was in a relatively safe position.

But it would not always be the same. The war situation kept on ever changing and there would be time when General Feng would be forced to move forward. As one of the generals in Fei Yang Kingdom, it would be inevitable for him to fight in important battles.

Feng Ao Kuai didn\'t know how it would be in the future. 

"I\'m fine. You should worry about yourself more." Feng Ao Kuai waved his hand. "Also, there are always people who met with bad adjutants."

Bad adjutants?

The one whom Feng Ao Kuai thought was his cousin. Under the threat and temptation, it was not impossible to betray others. Feng Ao Kuai knew that very well because it happened to someone close to him.

But he never let this matter be known to others.

Because Nan Luo didn\'t want the private matter of his army to be spread to others and become the talk.

For this reason, Feng Ao Kuai didn\'t explain very carefully about who he was talking about. 

Mu Sheng Xi arched his eyebrows and chuckled. "You reminded me about the rumors I heard not long ago."

"What rumor?" Feng Ao Kuai asked. He was also someone who was very keen in gathering information, so naturally, he was interested. Even if rumors were not very accurate most of the times, but sometimes, they were still telling the truth.

He still need to do his own research for verification, though. 

"General Shangguan had some conflicts with his adjutant that the two of them nearly fought." Mu Sheng Xi glanced at Feng Ao Kuai. "But it\'s said that the trigger of their battle is because of General Shangguan\'s order to charge while knowing that the adjutant\'s mother was held hostage."

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows.

He had to admit that he rarely paid any attention to the news from Shi Long Kingdom\'s battle area. After all, they were all very busy with the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom not long ago.

Now that Zhang Xu Kingdom had been defeated, it was time for them to start paying more attention to other areas.

The one in charge of the border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom has always been Shangguan Family. To be exact, it was the two Shangguan brothers who were staying there. 

"That\'s surprising." Feng Ao Kuai sighed.

"The exact situation is unknown, but it might have been at the critical moments, so General Shangguan made the decision to continue the attack." Mu Sheng Xi sighed. "But as the one who lost his family member, it would not be easy for the adjutant."

Many soldiers came to the frontline in order to protect their family members and some of them for the sake of the country. But having to see their own family member being killed in front of them without any chance to save them, it could be said to be extremely painful.

Mu Sheng Xi didn\'t know what happened between them, but even he felt the pain when he heard that.

Because he knew that if his adjutant\'s family member was held hostage, it would be impossible for him to just order the army to charge forward regardless of the consequences.

And if he was the adjutant, he would feel betrayed.

The leader he followed didn\'t care about him at all and instead let his family be sacrificed in battle.

How could he not feel hurt?

"It\'s very complicated." Feng Ao Kuai also frowned.

To be honest, if Si Kang\'s family members were to be held hostage, he would figure out a way to delay the battle and then sent someone to rescue Si Kang\'s family members. This was the only method he could think of.

But if the opponent still persists in killing… he would have no other choice but to charge forward.

But he was sure that his relationship with Si Kang will never be the same anymore.

Would Si Kang feel betrayed?

Would he feel disappointed?

Feng Ao Kuai didn\'t know, but if it was truly the only possible outcome, then it would have been very painful. 

"It\'s indeed very complicated." Mu Sheng Xi laughed bitterly. "But the problem is, my father and his adjutant never had any sort of conflicts."

If there was conflict, especially a big one, the betrayal seemed to be more \'acceptable.\' Even if it was actually still very painful, but they could understand more about why they wanted to betray them.

But without any reasons of conflict nor anything of that sort, General Cao chose to side with Zhang Xu Kingdom…

It was only making Mu Sheng Xi felt more desperate and felt that the world was truly dark. 

Their Mu Family was being forced to the center of discussion once more.

"Things will get better in the future." Feng Ao Kuai smiled. "Not everyone is a bad person. It wouldn\'t do you any good to see them in the bad light forever."

See them in the bad light.

Mu Sheng Xi laughed lightly and shook his head. "Even if that\'s what you say, the reputation will stay with us. It\'ll take a very long time to wash it out."

"Does it affect you on the battlefield?"

"Perhaps." Mu Sheng Xi knew that his loyal soldiers would not be bothered in the slightest bit. They have followed him for a long time and willing to continue to follow him.

But it couldn\'t be said to be the same with his family members.

It was quite frustrating.
