Chapter 66 - 59. Enemy and Friend
Wu Hongbiao pondered for a moment, "I can’t fathom his thoughts, but he once said that all noble children should experience the front lines, otherwise they’ll become nothing but dandies, wasting their days in dog fights and brothels. Back in the day, he risked his life by heading south to the Ning Dynasty, assassinated the Minister of War of the Chen family, and with that unparalleled feat, he returned to our Jing Dynasty and established the Military Intelligence Department by himself. I think, he might hope that you become someone like him."
Wu Hongbiao wistfully said, "In our Jing Dynasty’s military, I don’t know how many people admire your uncle, wanting to become someone like him. I think you too should aspire to follow the path he once took."
Chen Ji was stunned. So, the Military Intelligence Department was founded by his own uncle? Indeed, it was a new discovery every day...
But if he must assassinate a Minister of State to return, then perhaps it’s better not to return to the Jing Dynasty.
Ning Dynasty was quite good.
"I have another question, you are clearly on the brink of death, why would you still come to deliver a message to me?"
Wu Hongbiao grinned and smiled, "I told you, we are brothers."
"Understood," Chen Ji turned to leave, "I should not linger here. In the coming days, I will bring some food and water every night. You should focus on recovering."

Upon exiting, Chen Ji stood in the backyard of the cloth shop under the moonlight and took a deep breath.
