Chapter 614 - 49: Shuangtao’s Note, Academy’s Appointment_4
"I haven’t been back in ten years; this time, I hope, my lord, you could take a detour to visit my mother and tell her that I haven’t failed, that I’m not a ruthless murderer."
Yuan Zhi, a young and immensely talented strategist who had shaken the lands upon his arrival, now had a hint of longing and sighing in his eyes. Hearing this, Li Guanyi laughed heartily, "What’s so difficult about that? Don’t worry, don’t worry, I understand!"
The young general clenched his fist and smiled,
"Perfect, since we’re taking the diplomatic corps, let’s first visit your mother before heading to Central State; tell her just how great her son is!"
Relief washed over Yuan Zhi’s face as he said, "Thank you, my lord."
"You’re too courteous, sir!"
Li Guanyi thought about it, gazing at the young man from a humble background. He smiled lightly but earnestly, "Although this is somewhat taking advantage of your mother’s name, rest assured, sir." The youth clenched his fist and gently tapped on Yuan Zhi’s shoulder, saying:
"I will treat your mother with the respect befitting a strategist of the Qilin Army under Marquis Qin Wu."
