Chapter 151 - 87: General Xue, Battle and Triumph!
Next to the second son of the Duke Mansion, Changsun Wuchou’s sister was also dressed in hunting attire for company. Unlike the spirited demeanor of young girls, Changsun Wu Gou was somewhat anxious at the moment, whispering softly, "It’s just, by avoiding Lord Father’s entourage and coming alone, are we truly going to be alright?"
Li Zhaowen casually swung his horsewhip through the air and responded:
"What does it matter?"
"Having one second son in the carriage is enough, besides, Father most likely does not wish to see me at the moment." Mentioning this, the young girl felt slightly displeased. Her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as she had brought back many treasures and the geographical map from the king of Tuyuhun’s tent and handed them over to her father.
At this moment, she simply wished for the stability of the Duke Mansion for her father and brothers. She was genuinely happy, fully expecting them to also acknowledge her, yet she was harshly reprimanded by them. Her father seemed very unhappy, she even saw a trace of panic on his face, and then he severely reproached her.
Even her older brother implied both openly and secretly that she was too reckless, causing trouble for the Duke Mansion.
After several unpleasant discussions, she simply went out on her own.
Now, holding the horsewhip and pointing towards the forest ahead, she appeared to be commanding with force:
"Today the world is divided among heroes, countries like Tuyuhun that were once overlord states can perish in the blink of an eye. At the height of Tuyuhun’s power, thirty-six tribes submitted to them, and both Ying Country and Chen Country had to treat them with equal courtesy. Now that the country has perished, the Dangxiang people have risen and become the laughingstock of the world."
"Even Tuyuhun ended up like this, and our household is just the Duke Mansion of Ying Country."
"Defending the borderlands with the world in turmoil, not advancing is retreating. Merely hoping to hold on to the family property, in the end, I’m afraid even this family property cannot be preserved. Why is father so cautious?"
