Chapter 1557 Reshuffle in Liang City (3)


    In regards to General Chi''s softheartedness and kindness, it was indeed hard to judge whether it was wrong or not. As a child, he wanted to be filial to his parents and his rtives. As a husband, he wanted to be responsible. As a parent, he wanted to be a good example and raised his children well.


    And as a general, he wanted to fulfill his duty well and be a powerful and responsible person.


    But is it possible to fulfill everything well?


    Sometimes, it might be possible.


    But not for General Chi.


    In this warring era, he was faced with difficult decisions. Because of a failure in the war, his destiny was changed rapidly to the point that it was difficult for him to even maintain his original personality.


    He had to make a decision that affected the fate of everyone around him, which caused thepreviously harmonious family to be broken.


    If he was not born in this era, he might be able to have a good and loving family.


    Even if the wife and husband were not exactly loving each other, at the very least, they would be polite on the surface. The family would beplete and the two children didn''t have to hate each other so much.


    But everything was only a big if.


    There was no possibility of it to truly happen in the real world.


    Everything has happened and there was nothing they could do to change the past that has already unfolded in front of them.


    Even if it was painful and all, it was the truth they had to face.


    Emperor Yang Zhou appreciated a person like General Chi, but it was unfortunate that a person like this was born in such a family. In Chi Family, he was treated as nothing more than a tool for them tond their foundation and to be prosperous in the future. In Jian Family, he was nothing more than a son inw that was used for them to earn more money.


    The two families never truly cared for General Chi as a person but rather what they wanted was nothing more than the value he could have.


    It was very miserable.


    If only he was born in a better family, he would not have been treated so poorly after a failure.


    Their tradition prioritized filial piety but not to make the talented to be foolish and blinded like an idiot.


    By now, the Chi Family had alreadyid their foundation. Many properties were split between various people in Chi Family and not a single one of them cared for General Chi. This general retired and it was estimated that the wealth he could enjoy was not even a tenth of what he actually earned in his life.


    It was miserable.


    But who could one me for their own stupidity for not being able to see people''s heart for who they were?


    Raising a lot of white eyed wolves…


    *sigh*


    Emperor Yang Zhou could only hope that the Heaven has eyes and will be able to let General Chi be repaid for what he had done in his life. Even if he had made a lot of mistakes and had failed to see the true nature of many people, he''s still a good person.


    He hoped that in his retirement time, General Chi would be able to live peacefully andfortably.


    "Thank you, Your Majesty." General Chi made the motion to cup his fist with one arm and turned around, his back remained taut and straight. Even when he knew that more than half of his life was wasted on these people who didn''t deserve it, he remained firm and tall.


    No matter what, he would not show his weakness.


    It was all his fault.


    Because it was all his fault, he had to bear the consequences. But even if he had to bear it, he will never let himself fall.


    He''s no longer young and it was unknown what kind of future would be waiting for him in front of him. But even if it was difficult, General Chi has never been a person who was willing to give up easily.


    It was because of this personality that he managed to rise through ranks even when the odds were against him.


    He fought his way up.


    From his youth until now, he came from an ordinary child in a small vige, a promisingmander, a powerful general, a failure, and then back to be a honored general.


    Emperor Yang Zhou had given him a lot ofpensation for his retirement so that he could spend the rest of his lifefortably.


    General Chi didn''t care too much about money.


    But he was willing to ept it.


    Because he knew that it would be hard for him to ask for money from his rtives whom he had raised all these years.


    Without him, these rtives would be nothing more than small unknown farmer in a remote countryside.


    But they have never been thankful to him.


    They took it for granted that everything was given to them.


    General Chi sighed deeply.


    He will let them go, but he will never treat them as his family members anymore. From now on, he will truly be alone.


    General Chi walked out of the hall, his expression showed indifference.


    No matter what he actually felt in his heart, he will not show it on the surface.


    This way, he would not show his weakness to anyone.


    Tep. Tep. Tep.


    Long Qian Xing watched General Chi walked away, lowering his eyes slightly. Some people longed for affection and even the slightest bit of kindness was highly appreciated by them. Some other people were cold hearted and didn''t care for the so called affection whatsoever and only treated other people as nothing more than tools.


    He himself was biased.


    When it was facing his family members, his line of tolerance was indeed higher than usual. But when he was facing stranger, his line of tolerance was much lower. He would not allow others wronged him.


    But when the person he faced was his family members, he still gave them chances… Only when they broke it again would he actually take his action.
