Chapter 1571 Victory Banquet (2)
But he would not say anything to his mother and father.
There was no need for them to worry so much about this matter. Let him be the one to bear the thoughts and pressure from this matter.
Speaking of his father, he wondered how General Feng was doing at the border with Shi Long Kingdom. He hadn't heard many pieces of news.
And thankfully, it seemed that his father was also toning down in his advance, thus he was in a relatively safe position.
But it would not always be the same. The war situation kept on ever changing and there would be time when General Feng would be forced to move forward. As one of the generals in Fei Yang Kingdom, it would be inevitable for him to fight in important battles.
Feng Ao Kuai didn't know how it would be in the future.
"I'm fine. You should worry about yourself more." Feng Ao Kuai waved his hand. "Also, there are always people who met with bad adjutants."
Bad adjutants?
The one whom Feng Ao Kuai thought was his cousin. Under the threat and temptation, it was not impossible to betray others. Feng Ao Kuai knew that very well because it happened to someone close to him.
But he never let this matter be known to others.
Because Nan Luo didn't want the private matter of his army to be spread to others and become the talk.
For this reason, Feng Ao Kuai didn't explain very carefully about who he was talking about.
Mu Sheng Xi arched his eyebrows and chuckled. "You reminded me about the rumors I heard not long ago."
"What rumor?" Feng Ao Kuai asked. He was also someone who was very keen in gathering information, so naturally, he was interested. Even if rumors were not very accurate most of the times, but sometimes, they were still telling the truth.
He still need to do his own research for verification, though.
But he was sure that his relationship with Si Kang will never be the same anymore.
Would Si Kang feel betrayed?
Would he feel disappointed?
Feng Ao Kuai didn't know, but if it was truly the only possible outcome, then it would have been very painful.
"It's indeed very complicated." Mu Sheng Xi laughed bitterly. "But the problem is, my father and his adjutant never had any sort of conflicts."
If there was conflict, especially a big one, the betrayal seemed to be more 'acceptable.' Even if it was actually still very painful, but they could understand more about why they wanted to betray them.
But without any reasons of conflict nor anything of that sort, General Cao chose to side with Zhang Xu Kingdom...
It was only making Mu Sheng Xi felt more desperate and felt that the world was truly dark.
Their Mu Family was being forced to the center of discussion once more.
"Things will get better in the future." Feng Ao Kuai smiled. "Not everyone is a bad person. It wouldn't do you any good to see them in the bad light forever."
See them in the bad light.
Mu Sheng Xi laughed lightly and shook his head. "Even if that's what you say, the reputation will stay with us. It'll take a very long time to wash it out."
"Does it affect you on the battlefield?"
"Perhaps." Mu Sheng Xi knew that his loyal soldiers would not be bothered in the slightest bit. They have followed him for a long time and willing to continue to follow him.
But it couldn't be said to be the same with his family members.
It was quite frustrating.
