“The King must have had some other plan so he made such a decision.” Gu Chaoyan said seriously. She had intended to tell Zhou Huaijin about this, but he came to her instead.
Zhou Huaijin also realized that it was more than about the rank. He glanced about discreetly, seeing that both Fu Bao and Sword One were guarding them from close by whilst the other servants were already out for their own business. No one was able to hear what they were talking about.
He let out a sigh of relief. “What is your opinion, Chaoyan?”
“It is a peaceful time now, and Duke North is a very important rank, but that person doesn’t have to lead the army. And as far as I know from Mrs. Duke North’s words, the King has always wanted to give rank to Zheng Chenyi, and he deserves to have the rank too, except that he will only get it after the New Year… However, he changed his mind recently to give the rank to someone who can lead the army.”
“It is not because of his personal feelings towards Zheng Chenyi, otherwise he would have tried to save him a while back. I am afraid that what he wants is to have someone who can be useful in the war, so he doesn’t want someone who has been injured,” Gu Chaoyan said seriously.
Zhou Huaijin’s face changed and his expression sank.
The Generals for the military were plenty already in this peaceful time.
When the King mentioned about leading the army, he must be planning for something bigger.
If that was the case… then it would be a huge disaster for the country.
He had always been sure that his father was not that ambitious, but now, Zhou Huaijin believed that he was, and that was because of the Phoenix Girl!
He seemed to believe that everything depended upon destiny.
The reason why he did not do anything now was only because Destiny Monk had not been found, but if he was found, then the whole world would be in a disaster.
The Saint Divine Land was the leading country among the four countries, and it was not easy to break the present situation, but now when the Phoenix Girl was found, the King sounded as if he was certain about that.
If not for Chaoyan’s reminder, he would not have connected the whole thing together. If the King had such a plan, then the day when the disaster broke out would arrive sooner or later. Zhou Huaijin felt that he was not yet ready for that.
He got up anxiously. “Chaoyan, I have other work to do, you can go back to the room soon, the wind is coming.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She asked Sword One to put on her coat for her and decided to go back to the room, in case Zhou Huaijin got worried.
Seeing that she was back in the room, Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief, then he hurried off.
Gu Chaoyan had just walked into the room when she realized that she had not been done with something, so she went out again.
“Elder Miss…” Sword One said helplessly. Elder Miss was getting quite unruly these days.
“I am just visiting Mr. Zhao, nothing serious.” Gu Chaoyan explained.
Sword One answered with a small okay. She felt assured.
Then they headed towards Zhao Yiqiu’s room.
Zhao Yiqiu had not gone out these two days. He was reading a book in the room. Unlike the other doctors, he had no herbs inside the room, so there was no smell of any herbs. No one would have realized that he was a doctor in this case.
“What is the matter?” Zhao Yiqiu asked calmly.
