Chapter 257 Correcting Past Mistakes 1 (1/2)

”Dad, I want to go to the border with you this time.”

”No, this is not possible, if it were in other times I could accept, but we are at war with neighboring countries and the border is always one of the most dangerous places in wartime.”

”I know that dad, but I'll be 16 soon and get in the army too, I want to be close to you in the army, so I better get used to how things are at the border now that it's only a few months to my birthday.”

”What you say makes sense, but if something happens to you, your mother will never forgive me, wait until after your birthday and then you can come with me to the border when you join the army.”

”But I want to go now to prepare for the future, you know that I can fight very well with swords and a spear and I have a lot of strength, but I've always heard from your friends that without experiencing a real battlefield I never I'll be ready.”

”If I go this time I'll just be your son and I can learn a lot and see what a real battlefield is like, but once I get into the army I'll just be another novice soldier and not your son, so I couldn't learn correctly and something can happen.”

Zhang Feng had a headache whenever talking to Zhang Yi, he was proud that his son was always that clever and genius since childhood, but it was hard to argue with Zhang Yi about anything.

Zhang Yi was always very polite and calm when arguing with him, and since he was a good-behaved son, Zhang Feng didn't know how to be angry with his son and eventually agreed to do what Zhang Yi wanted.

So the only thing he could do was to have Zhang Yi talk to Mary, so his mother was more likely to deny the things Zhang Yi wanted to do, and if Mary accepted Zhang Yi to do something, it wasn't just his fault anymore something went wrong.

As Zhang Feng hoped, Zhang Yi was also able to convince Mary easily and so would go with him to the border, at which time high-ranking soldiers were allowed to bring the family close to where the battlefield was.

This usually did not happen because the soldiers and generals did not want their family to be endangered, but Zhang Feng was not afraid that Zhang Yi would be injured because he was more skilled than him in fights and if something happened to Zhang Yi it was because the Most of the Allied army had been annihilated.

Even though Zhang Yi suggested that he hide undercover as an ordinary soldier and Zhang Feng accepted, Zhang Yi was highly respected by the other soldiers who were in Zhang Feng's troop and if Zhang Yi appeared he could distract the other soldiers.

So they went discreetly to the fortress, as Zhang Feng had a status similar to the army generals so he could have several benefits that other generals had, but Zhang Feng always rode his horse to the fortress and sometimes he went with the other soldiers to The fortress.

Disguised as an ordinary soldier following Zhang Feng, Zhang Yi was walking after his father, his father wanted Zhang Yi to be on horseback not to tire, but as a cultivator of the mortal tribulation realm and with the eighth realm of refinement not even going around this planet could tire him out.

After spending a few days in Zhang Yi Fortress, he could already know many things that happened at the border, usually many people died at the borders, but with Zhang Feng's care far fewer soldiers died in his troop, only those who did not follow orders and training ended up failing.
