That was not the issue that Dugu Xian was most concerned aboutHe felt that he had to speak his s had cohtBut I have to know if the navy will still accept the orders of the Left General, too?”
Dugu Xian was still not direct enoughWhat he actually wanted to knoas if there was a difference between the authority of the Left and Right Generals
”The land-based troops in the Dragon Army will be commanded by the Left General, while our Navy will be controlled by the Right GeneralFinal victory will still be decided on land,” replied Gu ShenweiHe skirted around the issue, but made it clear that both ranks were equal
Dugu Xian hesitated before deciding to accept the Dragon King's decisionHe, himself, was a captive who surrendered and had not proven his capabilities in any battle as of yet, so he felt that he did not have a right to ask anythingEven though our navy cannot give us final victory, it will buy htly,” he said
The struggle between both Generals had only just begun and would not end so easilyAs his plan for doenerals to aid hiether in harles would only increase in the futureGu Shenas prepared for these issues to come up

”It's good for them to be jealousThe morale of our army will increase even further,” Gu Shenwei replied
Zhong Heng knew very well that the Dragon King would not easily change his mind, so he did not object too muchBut as the overseer ofof the Kang Nation”
”Froht General,” the Dragon King finished Zhong Heng's sentence
”The Right General sent someone over toHeng asked
”Try to meet his needs as much as possible,” Gu Shenwei stated simply
”Yes,” said Zhong Heng
Zhong Heng could sense the strong aura of a ga's order and could only hope and pray for luck to be on their sideHe then took his leave, as well
”Hold on a momentLet me see the list,” Gu Shenwei said as he held the Prime Minister back
Zhong Heng had brought the list along with hies of paperHe passed the to look over
Shang Liao's requisitions were a little uniqueOther than the standard weapons, armor and supplies, he had also requested rather weird items, such as lime and pine rosinThey were rarely used in battle
”What did he want these items for?” asked Gu Shenwei as he pointed to the list
”Are you unaware of this, Dragon King?” replied Zhong Heng as he glanced at the list, a look of surprise on his face
”If you have these things, supply the tact as he realized that he had accidentally exposed his distrust of the Right General
Being a ruler took profound knowlege, even if one did not have , every word and every decision he said and ain by others to be used as the basis for their actions

Zhong Heng's loyalty was unquestioned, but loyalty could also lead sosXu Yanwei had proved this point on more than one occasion
Gu Shenwei su left
”Froht General,” he instructed him
”Right,” Chu Nanping repliedHe had not changedto be a killer - he still did not care if things went one way or the otherHe treated the Dragon King's orders as requests -- his agreements were not meant to be taken as servitude
”If the Right General leads our navy toward the harbor of the Kang Kingdo to the Golden Roc Fort, kill him,” said Gu ShenweiHe knew that he had to be extreue hints when telling Chu Nanping what to do
”Would you want his head if I had to kill hi asked
”Yes,” said Gu Shenwei

”How is Shangguan Fei's practice co?” he asked instead
While in the otten about the ticking ti DeviationHe had a sudden inspiration to use the Yin and Yang Strength as thefuWayless Qigong would act as the base for the Yin Strength
Shangguan Fei was the first test subject of his experiment
”It's still hard to sayThe hly resistant to it, and is unwilling to practice,” Maid Lotus answered
