1635 Stupid

Sheng Shan Lang is one of the few commoners who managed to rise to high rank. It would be inevitable that some nobles would set their eyes on him and hoped for him to be able to take fancy on them. 

They had already started to make their move, but Sheng Shan Lang remained unmoved and instead picked a village girl. 

It wouldn't be easy for Sheng Shan Lang in the future. 

General Chi sighed when he thought about it. Without background, without any backing, if one truly wanted to stand in this world and wielded power, it would be a bumpy journey.

There were many people's interest would be touched and might not want to accept the addition of this young man in their circle. A young man who couldn't be brought into their own sides.

"General Chi, would you like to take a look around?" The servant asked carefully.

General Chi thought for a moment and stood up. There was no point in him staying at this house all the time anyway. He wanted to go out in order to explore the world and to see the current situation of Fei Yang Kingdom.

So he walked out.

The villagers were all talking to each other heartily, mostly about the fact that Sheng Shan Lang was also getting married soon.

"I didn't expect Young Commander Sheng to like the daughter next door."

"Hey, if I know that Young Commander Sheng want to get married, I would have brought my daughter out first."

"Your daughter is only 7 years old!"

"It doesn't seem to be any problem?"

The others: "…"

General Chi who overheard it was also speechless. Even though for some villagers, the girls can be recruited earlier, but 7 years old is still a kid, alright? 

He felt that these villagers needed more education so that they would not marry the girls so early.

But at this time, the villagers were talking about a different matter. 

"Have you heard about any bandits' attack again lately?"

"Heh, these bandits wouldn't dare to come again after Young Commander Sheng destroyed their lair."

"Yes, I heard that Young Commander Feng and a few others who come during his marriage all helped and destroyed the bandits around. Now, there's basically no need to worry about bandits anymore."

"Hahaha, it's really our blessing to have Young Commander Sheng here."

"Yes, his family can attract another young commander who helped to restore peace in our village."

The villagers were very happy.

They knew that the reason why they can live peacefully was because Sheng Shan Lang had already helped them greatly in the past. Without this young commander, there was no way that they would be able to live in peace.

In fact, not only this village. 

Several other villages in this area also knew about Sheng Shan Lang and his deeds after he become a commander. Many people were in awe and hoped to connect with him. 

Now, who didn't envy the young lady's family whom Sheng Shan Lang fancied.

By being Sheng Shan Lang's wife, her prestige would be very high and many people would want to connect with him.

General Chi listened from the side, sighing internally.

He could remember that when he first started, he was also thinking about how to protect his family members and the people around him. The first enemies he faced were bandits around the village.

But because of his promotion, he gradually forgot about his first intention and never paid a visit to the village again.

It was his own negligence. 

Now, this village should be part of Fei Yang Kingdom, but General Chi was not entirely sure how it was now. So many years have passed and General Chi felt that these people might not even remember that there was once a general who came out from that small village.

Shaking his head, General Chi slowly made his way back to the small house.

…

The night passed by quietly.

In the afternoon, General Chi was enjoying the sun when he heard the noise made by Feng Ao Si and Dai not far from his location. This family was very noisy, but it was the kind of lively noisy.

Rather than being annoyed, General Chi felt that it was fun to listen.

The next day, Feng Ao Si was staying in the backyard, looking at the image drawn by Dai with perplexed expression.

"Young Master, do you still not understand?" Dai looked at Feng Ao Si helplessly.

He was trying to explain about the position of himself and Feng Ao Si in this plan, which he wanted Feng Ao Si to be the main attackers while he would be the bait. However, Feng Ao Si was confused about why Dai had to come here and why his route has to be this way.

There were so many questions and Dai felt that it would take such a long time to explain this simple matter.

"Young Master, when I come here, I'll attract their attention while you…"

"How did you attract their attention just by coming here? I can't see any differences." Feng Ao Si was confused. "Are you going to use the flag?"

"No, Young Master Feng. It's because this position is advantageous so that I will attract their attention…"

Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head in confusion. If he saw the enemies in front of him, he only wanted to charge forward. Most of the time, as long as he managed to kill the commanders in charge, the battle would be over.

But this time, Dai was trying to introduce him to the type of commanders who stayed at the back.

To be honest, whenever Feng Ao Si met with this kind of opponent, he would feel that the opponent was too troublesome. 

If there was truly no other choice, then Feng Ao Si would just listen to Dai's arrangement. Sometimes, it worked but some other times, it didn't. It was not like he always won the victories against his opponent.
