Chapter 1111: Chapter 1117: Might Be Overthinking
In recent years, King Qin had fought hard with Kuro for two reasons: first, to maintain the stability of the frontier, and second, to avenge his prospective father-in-law.
The woman King Qin valued said she wouldn’t marry until her great vengeance was avenged.
Hmm... It’s truly rare for someone in the imperial family to remain so dedicated.
"Mother, is King Qin really that powerful?"
The Green Group’s eyes sparkled, the little boy already understanding what it means to be a hero and whom to admire.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "He’s even more formidable than the man described. Perhaps you’ll have the chance to meet him one day and see for yourself."
"Okay, I want to learn Martial Arts and compete with King Qin," said Green Group earnestly.
Once he became as formidable as King Qin, he too could go to the battlefield, kill enemies, and become a hero defending his country.
Qiao Duo’er reminded him, "Think it over clearly. Learning Martial Arts is very tough and tiring."
She had always planned to have both children learn Martial Arts, not only to strengthen and keep themselves fit but also to protect themselves in crucial moments.
However, she intended to consider this matter after the child turned three.
"I’m not afraid, I will go kill enemies too!"
Green Group patted his chest; he was a man, and what kind of man would he be if he couldn’t endure this bit of hardship?
Hearing Green Group say this, Qiao Duo’er wanted to stop him, but she swallowed her words before they could leave her lips.
She was Green Group’s mother, and she’d rather have her child live as an ordinary person with a peaceful and joyous life.
But even though she was his mother, she had no right to dictate his life; his life should be decided by himself.
There was a hint of dimness in Green Group’s eyes, "Mother, don’t you want me to become a Great General?"
"If you like it, mother likes it too. But the battlefield is very dangerous, you must master true skills before you can go," Qiao Duo’er said with a smile.
If Green Group insisted on this path, she could only teach him everything she knew, hoping he would always keep himself safe, no matter the circumstance.
Green Group nodded, "Mother, I will definitely study hard."
Tan Zhenghong didn’t say anything, but it was clear his feelings were complicated.
This too was a form of love, letting a child pursue what he desires.
"What did this person do to deserve such a beating?" a person by the window asked.
It was normal for prisoners to be paraded, but to see the prison cart almost filled up with rotten vegetables and stones was a first; what deep hatred had caused this?
"He was a supervisor on a manor, nothing major; just exploiting his position and inflating rent to line his own pockets. If the owner hadn’t been clever, no one would have known when he would have been exposed."
"That is really a pleasure for the people, such despicable people deserve to be beaten."
"I heard they are going to be exiled to Cangzhou, where water turns to ice. Going there, these people would chisel ice for the imperial needs, and it’s said that many die from freezing every year."
"Better to be beheaded now!"
"A housekeeper amassed eight thousand Taels of Silver; if he doesn’t suffer, how can justice be served for the people he harmed?"
Qiao Duo’er also glanced out of the window, at that moment, Yue Ming, shackled in his chains, was locked in the prisoner cart and seemed to have lost all vitality.
It had only been a few days, yet Yue Ming went from a radiant manager to a rat everyone on the street wanted to stone; such a downfall could destroy a person.
But he deserved no sympathy, for he had brought this upon himself.
After Yue Ming’s prisoner cart passed, the storyteller started telling tales of King Qin’s legendary exploits again, and Green Group listened with great interest.
Qiao Duo’er silently hoped that Green Group’s enthusiasm was merely a fleeting interest, or that he would forget King Qin’s great deeds after sleeping on it.
But from the look in his eyes, she might have been thinking too much.
