Jin Kai seemed to grow smaller at the prospect. "That would be a burden I must bear. To be forced to chose between a friend and the will of the people is not an easy thing. If he moves into Changshan without first making safe the people of Yan, I can't help him. I have warned him against this m...

Zhao Laoxin raised a brow. "Interesting, but you must have at least some interest in the military life, or you wouldn't be spending your time traveling across the country to meet with meager men like me," he said in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone. "And surely your experience gives you so...

Laoxin nearly spat up his tea when Jin Kai had addressed him after the prolonged silence. "Oh please, reserve the prefix 'Master' for more worthy men. I am still a student myself," he said wistfully, dabbing his mouth with a piece of dry cloth and then tossing it over his shoulder. "...
