347 The Grandfather and Grandson Pair Meets (1/2)
The man in the wheelchair was one of the representative figures of the philosophy of war, Sun Wu's grandson, Sun Bin.
Sun Bin came a few generations after Sun Wu. Since they both appeared at the same time in the wilderness, Gaia arranged that they were grandson and grandfather to avoid making things weird.
After he heard that his grandfather was living in Shanhai City, Sun Bin did not come straight away. Instead, he went traveling until New Year's Eve before visiting.
The old man beside him was the god physician Bianque from the Spring and Autumn period.
Bianque called himself a traveling physician, as he did not stay in one city. In history, Bianque and his disciples traveled four thousand miles around.
Under the guidance of the guard, Sun Bin managed to see his grandfather, Sun Wu.
The meeting between the two was certainly an amazing event.
When he saw that the young man was truly Sun Wu’s grandson, he did not dare to disturb them and left.
After he left, the guard did not return to the city wall. Instead, he went to the Lord's Manor to report to the manager there.
When the manager received this news, he immediately went to report to the Marquis. However, the secretary stopped him.
”The marquis has orders. Unless it's something important, no one should disturb him.”
The manager understood and told the secretary the information. As for how he handled it, be it immediately reporting or doing nothing, it was not the manager’s problem anymore.
After the secretary heard the news, he waved the manager off and asked the latter to leave. He thought about it and decided to wait till the Marquis came out before telling him.
After all, Sun Bin came over to spend the lunar new year, so he would not be in a rush to leave.
Otherwise, it would be horrendous if he disturbed the lord and broke his train of thought.
The Lianzhou Manor did not have a specific organization to scout out news and intel about the territory. Hence, they could only rely on maidservants, guards, and the like to spread news.
As for the Military Intelligence Division, they were only in charge of military matters and would not cross the line.
_Sun Wu residence._
Sun Wu's residence was not in the official residence area. Instead, he stayed in the Army Military Academy.
After the two of them met, Sun Bin introduced Bianque to his grandfather.
”Grandfather, I met this god physician on my journey. His name is Bianque. The whole way, he has taken care of me!”
After Sun Wu heard such words, he immediately said, “Thank you kind sir!”
Bianque would not dare to accept that, so he said, “I was just doing what I could. I wasn't purposely taking care of him!”
Sun Wu nodded and smiled, “Since you have come to Shanhai City, you will be able to gain a lot!”
”How so?” Bianque's eyes brightened.
”Have you heard of the book collection house?”
”I came because of that. I heard that it contains a lot of old and new books. Is that true?”
”Definitely! The medical works of various dynasties are all in there.”
Bianque was delighted, so he smiled and said, “Seems like my trip will be worth it!”
”Not only that, Shanhai City has a medical department. They have olden arts and medical skills that the players brought. Especially one surgical technique, which even I have to commend.”
When Bianque heard those words, he grew even happier.
”I can't wait anymore!”
Sun Wu laughed; it was pretty understandable, as he too was like that when he came here. Sun Wu waved and called for one of the servants, “Bring mister to take a look at the book collection house.”
”Yes, sir!”
Bianque understood Sun Wu’s intentions, so he followed the servant and left.
Firstly, he desired to read the medical works. Secondly, he also knew that the grandson and grandfather pair definitely had something to talk about.
After he sent Bianque away, the two felt much more relaxed.
Sun Wu felt a heartache when he saw his grandson's paralyzed legs.
Sun Bin was really sharp and said, “Grandfather, even though my legs are paralyzed, I can still lead thousands and ten thousands of troops.” His words contained a hint of pride, and it also held a little bit of burden.
Sun Wu nodded, “God Physician Bianque also can't do anything about this?”
Sun Bin kept silent and shook his head.
Once he saw that, Sun Wu did not continue with this serious topic and smiled, “Grandson, the Sun Bin art of war that you wrote, I've read it. It made me feel really happy.”
”Thank you for your praises!”
”You don't need to behave humble in front of your grandfather. However, you also can't be arrogant. During this period of time, I've read many famous works and learnt a lot. Although the books we wrote are good, they have a lot of limitations.”
”Thank you for your teachings!” Sun Wu sat in the wheelchair as he said, “I came here to accompany grandfather and also to cultivate my art of war.”
Sun Wu shook his head and pointed at Sun Bin. He laughed and said, “In front of your grandfather, you don't need to hide. I can feel that you want to go to the battlefield. However, you decided to make such a decision instead because of me, right?”
