Chapter 313: Boredom
There were more people marching this time, so the time spent on the road was much longer than before.
It took Ye Shuo and his group a full half month to reach the border.
Four years have passed. The young General Wei, who was still a little green back then, has now lost his last bit of innocence and is gradually able to stand on his own. His every move and gesture also reveals some of the heroic spirit of the Duke of Zhen.
Although General Wei’s title contains a small character in his title, he is already over 30 years old this year. As General Wei, a fourth-rank official position, it is not too high, but it is still acceptable for his age. The main reason is that he has no chance to do meritorious deeds. Since the last time he defended the city, there has been nothing he can show.
But if he is lucky this time, he should be able to move up a level.
The first thing General Wei said when he saw Ye Shuo was, “Welcome to His Majesty.”
General Xu next to him followed closely behind: “This general greets His Majesty. Long live the emperor.”
Old General Xu is not very old, just over sixty years old. However, due to too many hidden injuries from his youth, he does not look much younger than the old Duke Zhen. His hair is gray and his temples are frosted. He is a little weak and can no longer lead troops to fight. However, the court has not yet selected a qualified successor, so he will remain in this position for the time being.
This was the first time that Ye Shuo saw the true face of General Xu. General Xu had spent more time at the border than his grandfather. It could be said that he had truly dedicated his entire life here.
