Chapter 89 (1/2)

This was the first night in four years that Qu Liuxi and the others had not fought to stay at home.

The few of them sat on the rooftop with their hands under their chin, staring at the moon in a daze. No one said a word.

What was different from Qu Liuxi and the others was, Gu Qianye was standing alone at the door with an ugly expression.

She pulled a thin necklace from her neck and looked down at what was hanging on it. She felt the urge to pull it off several times.

Qu Liuxi, who was sitting on the roof, saw the strange Gu Qianye, and she rushed down from the roof, ””Elder sister, what's wrong?””

she asked.

Gu Qian Ye looked down at the items on the necklace before stuffing them back into his clothes.

She turned her head to look at Qu Liuxi. ””Do you think there will be any dangers during the conflict?””

Qu Liuxi said, ””The people from the War Department sent a letter personally written by An Zou. That was indeed written by An Zhe.””

Some of the words he wrote in a special way, and some other very subtle features, which I have seen, were not forged.

He says the army is only going to hold him for a day, and then they'll let him out tomorrow. ””

Gu Qianye seemed to be muttering to himself, ””Perhaps An Zaiyue has made a mistake in his judgment?””

Qu Liuxi's expression slightly changed. ””Then what should we do?””

Gu Qianye raised his hand to press on his chest, causing her necklace to feel slightly hot.

She turned to Qu Liuxi and said, ””Before I brought my clansmen into the Great Illusory Shrine, I didn't have any good feelings towards people like you. You called yourselves the largest race, and claimed to be generous and kind.””

But you are treacherous and treacherous in the mind of the Hunters.

After I came into contact with you guys, I slowly changed my view. I knew that there would be sc.u.m in every race, but most of them were good people.

””However … we can never forget to guard against the evils in human nature.””

She took a deep breath. ””An argument is not a fool, but he believes in kindness too easily.””

Infantry Division.

In the study room of Hao An, the a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Zaiyan, poured a cup of tea for Hao An, then he sat down on the opposite side and asked, ””Sir, is this matter really handled according to the method of peaceful dispute?””

Hao Ping nodded: ””An Zeng is a rare talent. The things he did today were unforgivable. According to my initial plan, he wanted to send him to the border as a slave.””

””But his words have changed my way of thinking … In fact, a large part of his words were taken for granted, thinking that it wouldn't be difficult to implement it. That's not because he's naive, but because he's not very good at official matters in our Yan Kingdom.””

””But fundamentally, his ideas are helpful to the Infantry Division.

Although the academy had produced some talented people over the years, they had never been able to compare with the Great Cauldron Academy or the Supreme Dao Court.

Moreover, most of the outstanding youths who had graduated from the Martial Arts Academy died in the battles at the border.

””As a result, the backup power of our military has been insufficient, and soon, we will be left with no one else in the army.””

””The state can dictate by decree that young men must join the army, but will those who are brought into the camp by the law really become qualified soldiers?””

Chen Zaiyan sighed, ””This reminds me of those youngsters who graduated from the Martial Arts Academy last year. Out of the 328 people who graduated, only 14 were recruited into the Military Affairs Department. The rest have been transferred to various places on the border.””

It's been a full ten months since they graduated last September … Yesterday, I reported the number of casualties that have been reported to the border region for this year, and then I looked at those low-level commanders who died in battle. ””

He lowered his head with a sad expression on his face, ””Ten months. Three hundred and fourteen outstanding youths died in battle. Two hundred and nineteen people died. Thirty-two were injured and thirty-two were injured, losing eighty percent of their lives.

As for the remaining twenty percent, they were all from influential clans.

This was because these youngsters wouldn't go to the battlefield at all. They would only go to gain experience.

Sooner or later they would return to the court, and soon they would be the backbone of the army.

””And this kind of central force represents the interests of the big clans.””

Hao Ping said, ””But we can't change anything. There will always be people who will go up on the battlefield. Those who don't need to go on the battlefield will have enough power to support them.””

However, the offspring of the Humble Cla.s.s were different. If they wanted to change their lives, they would have to fight to the death to make a path for themselves.

Chen Zaiyan raised his head, ””But my lord, is there no other reason for this?””

Those Humble Cla.s.s disciples who had died in battle, were they not killed by some people?

They were like a strong loach, desperately trying to squeeze into a pond full of koi carp.

””However, these Golden Carp would never allow them to barge in. Therefore, they would exterminate these loaches outside the pond of the Gold Carp at all costs.””

””The imperial court is this big pool.””

Chen Zaiyan clenched his fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Hao Ping patted Chen's shoulder and said, ””I know, I understand. That's why I'm going to pursue the things that An Zaiyan said.””

””Let more people from the Humble Cla.s.s see hope, and let more people have a better education.””

Chen Zaiyan looked at Hao Ping, ””But my lord, isn't this battle a little too intense?””

””It is.””

Hao An said, ””In order to make those from the Humble Cla.s.s an official, we can become an indispensable force in the imperial court. However, we can only increase the number of Humble Cla.s.s members the imperial government has absorbed in order to resist.””

The number of people who wished for death were not many, and they would eventually leave a few behind to become the pillars of the imperial court.

””That's right. You said it was tragic, but it was indeed tragic, because the people who survived were one in a thousand.””

Chen Zaiyan remained silent, looking down at the teacup in his hand in a daze.

””You're from the Humble Cla.s.s.””

Hao Ping looked at Chen Zaiyan and said, ””So you understand more than I do the hards.h.i.+ps of those Humble Cla.s.s disciples, so you feel even more sorry for them than I do.””
