There was a heavy rain pouring down, but Liangjiang was unlike the north, instead of the clear sky washed by the rain, it became more and more humid.

　　Jiangbei Garrison was at first a true miscellaneous army. After more than a year under General Zhong's hands, it had started to take shape. If the enemy camp Gu Yun broke into also possessed the same quality, it would probably not be turned over by them so easily.

　　Gu Yun and Zhong Chan walked their horses side by side. Neither one of them wore armor, and neither thought the other was walking too slow.

　　"For these few years, there was never a day where I could be idle," Gu Yun said. "The last time I was able to converse with Teacher, I no longer remember which month and year it was."

　　When there were no outsiders, the Marquis of Order called him Teacher, Zhong Chan was not being overly courteous either, accepting it with his expression unchanging, he replied, "The little Marquis had matured more and more. If the old Marquis is still alive, seeing what you have achieved today, he would perhaps..."

　　Gu Yun continued his words, "Beat me to death."

　　Zhong Chan was stunned, the facial features that appeared to have been carved by a knife showed a little stingy smile: "There is no need to look down on yourself as such."

　　The breeze of the river came from the south, with the vapor in the air, it made one feel damp all around. Gu Yun brushed his untied hair and looked silently towards the south bank, thinking of the barren villages and the white bones he had witnessed himself, the smile on his face gradually turn grave.

　　Zhong Chan followed his gaze and clapped Gu Yun on the shoulder with his hand. "The matter of fate is difficult to say. Not mentioning us mortals, it was impossible for even gods to go against the flow of life. Allow me to say a few disrespectful words as an elder. Looking at the current situation, not mentioning the old Marquis, but even if your grandfather - Emperor Wu was alive, it would not necessarily be able to be of help either. We do our best, obey our destiny, and have a clear conscience - that is enough."

　　Gu Yun was stunned. This teacher of his was really familiar with military books, excellent in both civil and military matters. When he was teaching him, he was also truly 'inhumane'. Unexpectedly, during these years traveling the pugilist world, he had become more broad-minded.

　　Zhong Chan: "We are not afraid to fight on land. The main problem is that our Navy is still short of breath. Look at the Westerners, they either walk on sea or approached on the river. They also know this. I have given thoughts on how to fight battles on water these days, but it had not yet been perfected. You are not leaving for now, let us discuss more carefully about it in your free time."

　　Gu Yun nodded: "I know that our Dragons are not good either. This time, we were able to get a Western dragon for ourselves, let Ge Chen bring it back to the capital to see what Ling Shu Institute has in mind."

　　Zhong Chan sighed, "Soldiers can be trained, but equipment and Ziliujin, this old man truly is helpless, I can only rely on you young people to work as hard as possible."
