General, the lady escaped again

"Your sister-in-law doesn't want these empty things. If I wanted this kingdom, I would have led you to rebel. I never wanted it." Fang Chen said, "I just want you to be safe and pave the way for you. They will be afraid of you, and you can live a stable life."

"But our lives are too frustrating." Lin Feng shook his head. "You exchanged half your life for this, we know, and we also want to live a good life, but they didn't let us go."

"We are like a thorn in their hearts. They won't be happy until we get rid of it. But because of you, they dare not take action openly." Lin Feng said.

Fang Chen looked at Lin Feng and sighed in his heart.

"Boss..."

"Okay, stop talking. I'm not interested in this." Fang Chen said lightly, and then the two looked at each other. Lin Feng finally gave up persuading him. If the boss hadn't shown up on his own initiative, he wouldn't have been able to find him until now. If the boss really wanted to hide, he might not even be able to find this place, let alone come here for vacation.

That night, Ji Xiaomu asked Lin Feng to sleep in the guest room, but Lin Feng refused. After Lin Feng left, Fang Chen and Ji Xiaomu lay on the bed. Ji Xiaomu did not urge them, but just accompanied him silently.

"There are twelve of us brothers. We have been through life and death together for many years. They are my best companions and my most loyal brothers, but the emperor is afraid of me. I have won many battles, but what I got in return was not a stable life, but the emperor's suspicion. The emperor forced me to marry his daughter, but I refused. The emperor was angry, and then I was framed. I exchanged half of my life for their future with the emperor. I can 'die', but they must live in peace. The emperor agreed."

"I fought with the secret guards for half my life, and finally jumped off the cliff and 'died' in front of them. Although the emperor didn't believe it, he knew I wouldn't go back, so he let them go and promoted them. I thought... they would live well, but from what Lin Feng said in the afternoon, they were not living well." Fang Chen sighed heavily.

"Auntie, did I do something wrong?" Fang Chen sighed.

"What did you do wrong? You did nothing wrong. It's just that they feel sorry for you and think you've been wronged. They feel depressed because they know that this is what you gave your life to them, but they don't have the life to enjoy it. The more you suffer, the greater the pressure in their hearts, and the deeper the guilt they feel towards you." Ji Xiaomu hugged Fang Chen's head to comfort him.

"I'm not doing this for..." Fang Chen said.

Ji Xiaowu nodded, "I understand what you mean, and they understand it too, but they feel sad. The more glorious you were in the past, the more sad they feel. They feel sorry for you, for themselves, and for your brothers. You fought for the country, but the country has no gratitude at all, and is suspicious of you everywhere. This situation, anyone would be heartbroken."

"Yes." Fang Chen nodded. He was extremely disappointed with this country and the emperor back then, so he didn't want to go on like that.

"It's nothing. If those princes become more rebellious and there are wars everywhere, then you just guard this city and protect us in this troubled times. In this small place, you can be a general and vent all the grievances in your hearts." Fang Chen was shocked by Ji Xiaomu's words.

"Guard this place?" Fang Chen said.

"Yes! We won't go to the capital, but stay here to protect us. This is the only pure land in this troubled world." Mother Ji said with a smile.
