The Human Emperor (200-400)

C294: Returning to Kunwu Training Camp

To think that the truth would be like that. This explains why Su Hanshan seems to be tied down by something in his previous life, and wasn't able to make the breakthrough to become a great general. It sure is a great regret for the Central Plains!

After hearing Wei Hao's recounting, Wang Chong fell silent.

The elders in Wang Chong's previous life had extremely high evaluations of Su Hanshan, and his demise had upset many of them.

That man possessed capability, wits, and decisiveness.

Even those who didn't like him had to admit that Su Hanshan possessed the charisma of a leader. No matter how fearsome the enemy might be, the army he led would still charge forth without any hesitation.

As long as Su Hanshan remained standing, fear would remain an emotion none of his soldiers would feel!

In that era of catastrophe, Su Hanshan's back felt extremely reassuring to his men. He would always charge forth and retreat with his soldiers.

And eventually, Su Hanshan also fulfilled the promise he made to his men.

Instead of fleeing alone, he chose to die together with his army on the battlefield!

This was a man worthy of respect, a true military man, a great general of the empire!

Even though he was never recognized, even on his dying breath...

When Wang Chong heard of Su Hanshan's demise back then, his heart was also filled with sorrow.

This was the reason why Wang Chong was determined to help Su Hanshan in this life. Of everyone in Kunwu Training Camp, Su Hanshan was indubitably the one which Wang Chong wanted to help the most, as well as the one he wanted to change the destiny of the most.

But it was impossible for him to explain this to anyone else.

Wei Hao leaned down and said derisively, "Hmph, I don't think Li Nian was telling the complete truth. The situation was probably far worse than he had depicted. Despite our partnership with the Duke of Liu Residence, how could we have not known their background? To think that this was where the Li Clan's Duke of Liu conferment came from, how repulsive!"

He was a person who valued his brothers and friends, that was the reason why he rushed over from Kunwu Training Camp without asking a single question right after receiving Wang Chong's letter.

And after a few hours of journeying, he immediately went to meet the second young master of the Duke of Liu Residence. Despite his exhaustion, he didn't utter a single word of complaint.

Given his personality, it was natural that he detested those who betrayed their own brothers and stole their merits.

"It is hard for outsiders like us to say for sure what the truth is. It is also normal that you have never heard of this matter. After all, Emperor Gaozong is involved in it, so no rumors would be tolerated. However, this also explains why the Duke of Liu Residence maintains such a low profile."

Wang Chong's forefinger tapped rhythmically on the table. There were quite a few dukes in Great Tang, and most of the successors to the title choose to stay away from the treacherous royal court and live a peaceful life.

However, even among this group, the Duke of Liu Residence was exceptionally low profile. In fact, the Duke of Liu Residence even had trees planted along the perimeter of its residence, seemingly in an attempt to keep it out of sight.

There were very few in the capital who knew of the existence of the Duke of Liu Residence.

Thinking of it now, it was probably due to this matter.
