219 Clash with Future sFather-in-Law” (1/2)

Ming Hui finished doing his job before walking towards the Fan family residence. Fan Lanying had been staying inside and stayed with her father for a long time. She was excited to see her father save and sound.

”Father, are you going to be a general again?” Fan Lanying asked her father with concerned tone.

Fan Dan shook his head. ”I don't have any more soldiers. By what right should I return to the battlefield? The emperor wouldn't want to use a person like me anymore.”

Fan Lanying was sad at her father response. ”But, you can join the military army again.”

Fan Dan shook his head. He was already tired being used by that emperor.After the experience in the prison, he understood full well that the emperor didn't care about him. For him, he had served in the military for years, but what he gets was only a cold shoulder.

Now that the news of their escape had been released, many people might look for them. They were unaware that the three of them were already within the Ming Kingdom territory again. For Fan Dan, it was better if he didn't return at all. He was disappointed with the emperor for not even trying to care about his soldier.

”What is the news from the frontline?”

”The north is lost, the southwest is taken again,” Fan Lanying answered.

”The southwest is under Ming Kingdom again?”

This news was really surprising. After losing towards the Yuan Kingdom, how could they manage to grab the territory back?

”Strategist Wu personally came to the territory and lead the soldier from the city along the way to take the city back. He can do it really swiftly and all,” Fan Lanying answered truthfully.

Dan Fan thought for a moment before nodding. With the amount of enemy that emperor had made, it is surprising that he could still sit on that throne. The reason was simply because he had capable people around him. One of them was that strategist who can lead the war with ease. Even if it's him, he didn't have the confidence to say that he could beat that strategist.

While talking, they have a guest coming. Ming Hui came in and greeted the two of them.

Looking at her daughter eyes, Dan Fan knew that she fancy this man. Unfortunately, he didn't feel pleased with Ming Hui. From what he knew, this man had hid his gender and acted as a girl for a long time. How could he felt ease when looking at this man?

”Ming Hui, how is the hospital?” Fan Lanying greeted happily.

”It's good,” Ming Hui answered amiably. He looked towards Dan Fan with awkward look. Despite they have meet before, this time there was something different. He knew that this man must be displeased with the fact that he liked his daughter.

”Lanying, prepare some tea,” Dan Fan ordered.

Fan Lanying wore a sour face, but she still left. Once she left, the atmosphere on the living room change drastically.

”Young man, you sure have guts for deceiving emperor and hiding your gender.”
