As the carriage traveled along the bumpy road, Chu Mo and Fan Wudi sat in the carriage. There wasn't much disappointment on their faces. In fact, they were very calm.
The little Shiba Inu was dozing off at Chu Mo's feet. Fan Wudi looked at the beautiful puppy and said with a smile, "Where did you get this puppy from?"
"This puppy … is not ordinary." Chu Mo said with a smile, "It should be a ninth-level Soul Beast!"
Fan Wudi gasped and looked at Chu Mo. "Really?"
Chu Mo smiled and said, "It should be true."
As he spoke, Chu Mo told Fan Wudi about his encounter with the little Shiba Inu.
Fan Wudi said with a sigh, "If you didn't say it, who would have thought that such an ordinary puppy would have such a great background." As he spoke, the old man raised his head and looked at Chu Mo. "What are your plans for the future?"
Chu Mo looked at the old man. "What about you?"
Fan Wudi sighed and said, "I have been in the army my whole life. Now that I have completely retired, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be promoted to a noble rank. However, these are not things that Grandfather wants. I am still a little lost at the moment. "
"Grandfather, have you thought of leaving Da Xia and living somewhere else?" Chu Mo asked softly.
"What do you mean?" Fan Wudi looked at Chu Mo. "Your fief?"
"Yes." Chu Mo nodded.
"That … still counts?" Fan Wudi looked at Chu Mo and said, "Although the Emperor has said that the territory of Da Qi will be your King Chu's fief, that was then and this is now. Even if you are given a large piece of territory now, how are you going to protect it? You don't have a single soldier in your hands. "
The old man looked at Chu Mo and sighed. "Unless … you want to rebel."
"Since I've been conferred the title of King Chu and have my own fief, why can't I recruit my own soldiers?" Chu Mo smiled and said, "I have sufficient funds and a large territory. It won't be a problem for me to recruit soldiers and buy horses. However, I will leave this world sooner or later. If you don't like it, then forget it. "
Fan Wudi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Mo. "Grandpa has been fighting wars all my life. To be honest, I've never had any ambitions. However … if there really is such a chance, then it's not impossible for us to give it a shot. "
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Fan Wudi. This was the first time he had talked about the future with his grandfather so seriously. He didn't expect his grandfather to give him such an answer.
Fan Wudi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually … Grandfather met a woman a few years ago."
"Huh?" Chu Mo's jaw dropped as he looked at Fan Wudi in disbelief.
Actually, Fan Wudi wasn't that old. He looked like he was about 50 years old. If he took the pill that Chu Mo had prepared for him and continued to break through, then it wouldn't be difficult for him to maintain the appearance of a 40 year old when he reached the state of mind.
However, Chu Mo had never seen his grandfather fall in love with any woman all these years.
When he was very young, he had asked the old man why he didn't have a grandmother. After being beaten up by the old man, Chu Mo didn't dare to ask again.
Until today, when the old man opened his mouth to talk about his feelings. How could Chu Mo not be shocked?
"Sigh, Grandfather originally thought that this life … would just pass like this. After all, Grandfather has you." Fan Wudi sighed. "However, you will leave this world sooner or later. Back then, Grandfather knew that you weren't ordinary. However, I always thought that even if you revealed your extraordinary abilities, it would only happen after I was 100 years old. I didn't expect you to improve so quickly … "
"Grandfather …" Chu Mo felt a little sad in his heart.
Fan Wudi raised his hand and patted Chu Mo's shoulder. "This is a good thing! Really, Grandpa is very proud of you! Grandfather supports you! "
Chu Mo nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
Fan Wudi said, "Seven or eight years ago, I saved a woman at the border. She was from the Daqi Kingdom."
"…" Chu Mo's eyes widened as he looked at his grandfather. The fire of gossip burned in his heart.
Fan Wudi was a little embarrassed by Chu Mo's gaze. He glared at him and said, "Do you want to listen?"
"I want to listen, I want to listen. I'm listening very seriously!" Chu Mo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then don't look so surprised!" The old man scolded. However, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was finding an excuse for his shyness.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Mo tried to look as serious as possible.
The old man glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Although I've been at the border all my life and see the Daqi Kingdom as my enemy, deep in my heart, I don't have any bad feelings for the people of the Daqi Kingdom. They are all ordinary people, and they didn't do anything bad … "
Chu Mo nodded.
The old man continued, "That woman was the leader of a caravan. At that time, she was being chased by bandits from the Daqi Kingdom. The caravan was broken up and she was lucky enough to escape. There were some people chasing after her. Coincidentally, I ran into them and chased them away, saving her. "
"A hero saving a damsel in distress! Why didn't Grandfather mention this before? "Chu Mo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"What hero saving a damsel in distress? How could you just stand by and watch?" The old man glared at him and continued, "She was a young and beautiful woman, so I couldn't bring her to the military camp. After giving her some traveling expenses, I sent a few of my confidants to escort her back to the Daqi Kingdom."
"Grandfather, you did a great job!" Chu Mo couldn't help but say, "That woman must have secretly fallen in love with you, right?"
This time, the old man didn't scold him. Instead, he sighed and said, "In my life, I've never done anything against the rules. However, this matter was indeed against the military rules. But … my trusted subordinates brought back a lot of information for me … So, I feel a little better in my heart. "
"That's right …" Chu Mo's mouth twitched.
"Later on, she was grateful to me. After she started her business again, she would often secretly send me some money and food …" The old man sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't dare to accept her feelings! She was younger than me by more than twenty years! At that time, she was still a young lady in her twenties … "
"This young lady is supporting the enemy!" Chu Mo laughed and said, "She's really bold!"
As he spoke, Chu Mo looked at Fan Wudi and said, "However, so what if she's a little younger? When Grandfather cultivates to the state of clear mind, he will look at most forty years old, and his lifespan will increase a lot. It won't be a problem for him to live for more than two hundred years. Right now … you are still very young! "
The corners of Fan Wudi's mouth twitched, but his eyes … showed some interest.
