"Is Godfather going to follow the army into battle?"
Kang Xintong had been living in Lu Zheng's residence for a while now, and their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds.
When she saw Lu Zheng instruct the housekeeper to pack his luggage with a grave expression, she knew that something had happened outside.
She heard that the frontline was extremely dangerous, and her godfather had been neglected by An Cui for a long time. She didn't know why he was suddenly put in an important position.
"Hua Yuan recommended me to the lord, so she ordered me to follow the army into battle. Stay at home and wait for me to return. You mustn't neglect your studies when I'm not home. You'll be tested when I return. " Lu Zheng didn't have experience as a teacher, but he had experience as a student. His master, Master Yuanjing, had taught his students in the same way back then. There was a limit to how much he could relax.
Even though Kang Xintong was a self-disciplined, studious, and practical child, she was still a teenager. Her self-control wasn't as good as an adult's, and it was easy for her to be distracted by the flowers and plants of the outside world. Lu Zheng was worried that Kang Xintong would neglect her studies when he wasn't around.
"I will remember godfather's teachings." Kang Xintong agreed, but she asked in confusion, "It's a good thing that Lord An Cui put you in an important position again. Why does Godfather look so preoccupied? Is it because of Master Hua Yuan's recommendation? "
She had vaguely heard servants mention that her godfather and Hua Yuan didn't get along.
However, her godfather didn't admit it himself, so Kang Xintong couldn't discuss it in private.
"I have some conflicts with him, and we've never been on good terms." Lu Zheng didn't avoid the topic and said directly, "As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary. He's not a kind-hearted person. Who knew if his expression of goodwill was genuine or just another scheme. I'm worried that he's up to something again, so I have to be on guard. However, the lord trusts him so much that I can't do anything to him. "
The conflict between Hua Yuan and Lu Zheng was well-known. He had been suppressing Lu Zheng both openly and secretly, so how could he give him a chance to turn things around? He was afraid that there was some kind of conspiracy, such as luring the tiger away from the mountain and taking advantage of Lv Zheng going to the front line to stir up trouble in the rear, or that there was some kind of trap waiting for Lv Zheng to jump into at the front line, or that there was some kind of conspiracy at the front line. All of these were possible.
Even though Lv Zheng's suspicions were very reasonable and well-founded, it also proved one thing — Hua Yuan, a dangerous individual with a split personality, had left a deep psychological shadow on him, so much so that Lv Zheng was a little paranoid and always had a conspiracy theory about everything.
When Kang Xintong heard this, she had a bold idea.
"Your daughter has a matter that I hope Godfather will agree to." She swallowed nervously and said tentatively, "It's already unfilial of me to not share my father's burden when he's with the army. I don't dare to let him worry about me when he's at the front. If that's the case, why don't you … "
Under Lu Zheng's stern gaze, Kang Xintong's voice gradually became softer and softer until it could not be heard. Her little head also drooped down.
"Why not what? Why didn't you say anything? " Lu Zheng asked with a spurious smile. His eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's heart were filled with understanding. "You don't dare to say it? Then let me guess and see if I've guessed what you're thinking. Do you want to follow the army to the front? "
Even if Kang Xintong's idol was Jiang Pengji, he couldn't be so bold if he wanted to imitate his idol, could he?
Jiang Pengji had a sizable female battalion under her command. Over the years, they had risen to fame and made a name for themselves, making their enemies tremble in fear. However, An Cui did not have such conditions. Kang Xintong was a girl. If Lv Zheng did not take good care of her, who knew when something would happen to her?
The front line was full of swords and sabers. It was too dangerous.
"I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."
Lv Zheng quite liked this clever and obedient adopted daughter. How could he bear to let her go to the front line and court death?
At the end of the day, it was Liu Lanting's fault. He did not teach good things and taught bad things to children.
Lv Zheng smiled in his heart and patted the little man. The two words "Liu Xi" were written on the man's body. His black resentment was almost overflowing.
Her foster father's rejection was within Kang Xintong's expectations. She gave a fawning smile, got up from the mat, and went behind Lv Zheng. She rubbed his shoulders attentively and said softly, "Foster father, you are indeed my foster father. I can't hide my cleverness from you …"
Hmph. (́ ^ ́) ノ
It was useless even if the little girl had a sweet mouth.
Lv Zheng did not fall for it verbally, but he enjoyed it in his heart.
"The front line is very dangerous. There's chaos everywhere. If you're not careful, you'll lose your life. It's for your own good that I'm not letting you go. Moreover, the army camp is not as simple as you think. There are a bunch of rough and barbaric men there. I dare not guarantee your safety. You're a delicate girl. You'll easily get into trouble if you go. " Lv Zheng tried to dispel her thoughts. His idol was so arrogant because he had the ability to survive at the front line. That person could enter an army of thousands without batting an eyelid. She did not have the ability to do so, so she did not want to die.
Of course, Kang Xintong's courage was worthy of recognition. Ordinary girls would not have the courage to say that they wanted to go to the front line.
Kang Xintong's expression darkened when Lv Zheng saw through her thoughts. She immediately became determined and her eyes were filled with determination.
She really wanted to go to the front line. How could she grow faster by staying in the rear and enjoying the protection of a greenhouse?
She was not afraid even if she might face the dangers that Lv Zheng mentioned.
She also wanted to see how big the world was as Lv Zheng had said.
She immediately begged Lv Zheng, "Godfather, you're always thinking of me. I'm afraid that I'll let you down."
"What's so good about the front line that it's worth all of you going there? Don't you know that people will die? "
"Other than me, there's someone else like you?"
Lv Zheng said, "Isn't Liu Xi the one who taught you bad things?"
Hmph, the culprit of all conflicts.
Kang Xintong said seriously, "Godfather, I've always remembered what you told me. However, reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles. No matter how much I read, it's still not as good as seeing with my own eyes. I'm short-sighted, so I naturally have to see more. "
Lv Zheng sighed helplessly. He raised his hand and pulled Kang Xintong up, making her kneel on the ground look unbecoming.
"You can go, but you have to promise me that your own safety is the most important."
If she went to the front line, Lv Zheng could not guarantee Kang Xintong's safety.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, she would have to bear it herself.
Since Kang Xintong was so persistent, Lv Zheng could not force her.
Of course, if his own flesh and blood disobeyed him like this, he would probably explode and break their legs.
Kang Xintong did not expect Lv Zheng to be so easy to talk to. She was already prepared to be rejected for the second time.
Thus, when Lv Zheng agreed, she almost did not react in time.
When she came back to her senses, she quickly said, "Thank you, Godfather!"
