Chapter 208 Shi Jing
"Shi Jing, what is the meaning of this?"
Chu Baihan asked the man before him in a cold voice.
He was clad in black armor, his eyebrows were like drawn swords and his eyes like stars, his expression stern.
He was the Great General of Nanduan Kingdom, the deceased Marquis Shi Zhong’s son.
Twenty-three years ago, Marquis Shi Zhong had fallen on the battlefield, and after the tragic news had reached home, his wife died of grief soon after.
The vast Marquis Residence grew desolate as people departed, leaving only Marquis Shi Zhong’s legitimate son, Shi Jing, behind.
At that time, he was merely eight years old.
The Emperor had originally wanted to adopt him as a foster son, but the eight-year-old had refused and chose to live alone in the Marquis Residence.
Ten years later, through his own effort, he replaced the residence’s signboard, turning it into the General Residence.
He achieved this distinction not by relying on his forebears’ glories but by rising from a minor soldier to one of today’s most preeminent Great Generals of Nanduan Kingdom. Frankly, she admired him for that.
