Chapter 415 - 232 Brother Qian_1
Unexpectedly, Yueyue turned out to be the Commandery Princess! Prince Ning was actually a relative of his own!
Qian Manjiang stood dumbfounded, his mouth unable to close for quite some time. Prince Ning smiled without making a sound and picked up his teacup to drink.
At this moment, a servant came to report that Old Duke Liang, Deputy Commander Liang, and Young Master Liang request an audience. Last month, Liang Jinzhao had been named the Heir to the Duke of Weiguo.
Upon hearing this, Prince Ning quickly said, "Please, have them come in." Then he stood up to greet them at the door, with Qian Manjiang following suit.
After exchanging pleasantries with Liang Zechong and his grandson, Qian Manjiang came forward to greet them with a clasped fist and said, "This humble general, Qian Manjiang, pays his respects to Old Duke Liang, Sir Liang, and Young Master Liang."
Although Qian Manjiang only knew his former superior, Liang Yiqian, he could guess who the other two were.
By military rank, Qian Manjiang, who had been promoted to the fifth rank, held a much higher status than Liang Jinzhao, who had only recently been promoted from the seventh rank. However, as the Heir to the Duke of Weiguo, Liang Jinzhao’s title was much higher than that of Qian Manjiang.
Therefore, Qian Manjiang also had to pay his respects to Liang Jinzhao.
Liang Yiqian smiled and nodded, saying, "General Qian is also here."
Liang Zechong looked Qian Manjiang up and down and laughed, "Hmm, not bad, with a resilient spirit, and you’ve endured quite a bit of hardship. Thoroughly unseating the Treacherous Ye, General Qian’s contributions are indispensable."
After finishing his words, Liang Zechong even patted his shoulder, prompting Qian Manjiang to feel surprisingly flattered.
Liang Jinzhao then returned the gesture with a fist and palm salute and said, "You’re too kind, Brother Qian. I’m quite familiar with Xiu’er and Jinwa; whenever I visited Master Bei Kong to study martial arts, I would often play with them. The first time I saw Xiu’er, she was skinny and short, selling wildflowers she picked from the mountains. She told me her father had gone missing in battle, there was no one to work in her family, and she had never had a full meal... Feeling pity for her, I asked my grandfather to submit a petition after returning to the capital, changing the status of some missing persons to killed in action, never expecting... Hehe..." He rubbed his head, embarrassed, with a chuckle.
