C426 (1/2)

When Ouyang Baofeng received the letter from Yun Fei and learned that the Duke of Dingguo's only son had arrived at the War God City, he was in an even better mood. The public operation to establish a country proved their loyalty to their lord. It was even more beautiful to hand over the letter and their only son to him, rather than having Yun Chengfeng and Yun Fei pay their respects to their lord.

”Yun Fei, this lord remembers that you are the personal guard of the Duke of Settling the Nation.”

”Reporting to the marshal, this lowly subordinate is the marshal's personal guard. I am here to escort Eldest Young Master to the northern border. I will stay behind and listen to the marshal's orders.”

He didn't say anything. There were quite a few talented people around the Guest Duke of Dingguo's Yun Fei peak. These personal guards really caught his eye. This Yun Fei was also a talent, but he was sent by the public to protect Yun Chengfeng. It was a pity that Yun Chengfeng was a failure and that there was no heir to the country.

”Yun Fei, what do you think Yun Chengfeng is suitable to do?”

Yun Fei's face was full of awkwardness. No one knew that young master better than him. What he was best at was having fun and eating. No matter how he was taught, no matter what kind of teacher he invited, he would never advance. No one knew how many teachers he sent flying in anger. How was he supposed to respond to the marshal's question?

”Reporting to the marshal, the eldest young master likes to make friends, regardless of his status.”

Ouyang Baofeng had a faint smile on his face. Naturally, he paid a lot of attention to the first young master Yun Chengfeng. Especially after Feng Qingxiao had gone to the capital and had some connections with Yun Zihuang, he had even made it his public servant and had made him the number one target in the investigation. Of course he knew that Yun Chengfeng was a playboy. Even his own father had given up on his son.

”After He Xianzhi rebelled, the rebel army that surrendered would be under supervision. How about Young Master Yun become his assistant first?”

”Understood.”

Yun Fei bowed and accepted the order. Although the marshal's tone was rather gentle, polite and inquiring, everyone knew that this former commander of the northern border had an order that no one dared to go against. How could he dare say that the position the marshal gave to the young master was inappropriate?

Being the deputy overseer of the rebel army was neither dangerous nor responsible. It could also be a useless job. However, his heart was filled with bitterness. He had followed the eldest young master as his follower for so many years, and now he still had to protect the eldest young master. He would never have the chance to rise again in his life. With his talent in martial arts, he could have done many more important things. If this young master had been a bit more accomplished, he would not have suffered so much.

”Young Master ordered me to be humble, thank you for sending me a congratulatory gift from far away.”

”This marshal will hold Young Master Yun's welcome tonight. You may leave.”

”This lowly official will take his leave.”

He retreated and raised his head to look at the sky, sighing to himself. If it wasn't for the marshal, why would he spare the time to set up a banquet to meet his eldest young master?

His heart became heavier. The young master had told him in secret that he was sending his eldest son to the north to show his loyalty to the Lord and to send his only son to be his proton. As for training and such, he smiled bitterly. Years ago, he had already given up on teaching his eldest young master. What could a mere bodyguard do?

The only thing he could do was to protect the young master's safety and to prevent him from causing any big trouble in the north. The rest was fine. Although the eldest young master had been sent to the north by the eunuch as a hostage to show his allegiance to the lord, her young princess was now an imperial concubine. It would be superfluous for the eldest young master to deliver her again.

He just didn't know why the young master suddenly had the thought to send the young master to the north.
