But General Duan was not sad.
He's not money which everyone liked. There would definitely be people who didn't like him despite what he had done so far.
Duan Shang Yi watched his father from the back and finally walked away. He couldn't be like his father and could only worked as an official simply for the sake of living and not for the people.
Perhaps, this was their greatest difference.
He worked for himself while his father worked for the people, even if he knew how ungrateful they would be.
Having such a father, Duan Shang Yi could only feel that he was a failure as a son.
But he couldn't do it like his father. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
He's more selfish.
He looked at Da Yi City, which was filled with people moving around for the sake of the war. They were working hard in order to be able to defend the city.
The males were resting so that they could fight tomorrow.
The women were helping to treat the wounded.
Many people were working together in hope that they would be able to see a better future ahead for their city.
Duan Shang Yi lowered his head and slowly made his way towards the area where the weapons were made. Da Yi City was famous for their weapon and the talented blacksmiths.
A portion of them have been called to Fei Yang Kingdom's various other areas to work and made weapons.
But some of them were still here.
One of them was his half brother, Duan Shang Shao. Truth to be told, Duan Shang Yu and Duan Shang Shao didn't have good relationship. With their mothers were against each other, it was inevitable that the two of them would also have conflicts.
Even after their mother's death, their conflicts never got resolved.
Duan Shang Shao had never returned to Duan Family Residence again after he become an adult.
So, Duan Shang Yi had to go to the blacksmith's area to find his half brother.
Klang!
"Welcome… Duan Shang Yi?" Duan Shang Shao, who was resting with his half sister, furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Duan Shang Yi. "Why are you here?"
"The officials are thinking about asking General Duan to retreat," Duan Shang Yi said coldly. He was part of the officials and naturally also knew about their plan. In fact, these officials didn't treat him as an outsider because they knew the relationship between Duan Shang Yi and his father was tense.
"They didn't care about the sacrifice Father had done and wanted to abandon Da Yi City."
Duan Shang Shao arched his eyebrows at Duan Shang Yi's words and then nodded indifferently. "I see."
Duan Shang Yi frowned. "Do you not care?"
"Even if I care, is there anything I can do?" Duan Shang Shao asked.
"You can help Father or…"
