Chapter 411: I Have My Excellence

They are still soldiers, no one knows them, they still eat the big pot meals, they……

The little girl didn't continue, just looked at her mother, 'If it's you, are you mentally balanced?'

Jiang Fengsheng shook his head, 'Imbalanced.'

Same hardship, same endurance, what makes the Jiang Clan special?

Yes, imbalanced, the human heart—once it becomes imbalanced.

Evil will grow wildly, popping up from time to time, wanting to destroy these.

She lightly laughed, 'So, the human heart is unfathomable.'

General Jiang looked at her with appreciation, 'Who taught you these?'

Kang Zhi Chun laughed, 'If it's about the mindset of considering things and worldly affairs, it was the Dean who taught us.'

If it's about this matter, it's the result of my own thinking.

We're young, pose no threat to anyone, gathering information is always much easier.

In the end we inferred that the maternal grandfather could only be poisoned by his own people, especially the gu worms.

Among the people of Xijiang, there is definitely no one who can make you relinquish your inner power.

Good! General Jiang couldn't help but laugh, shouting "good."

Jiang Fengsheng grew up in the frontier since childhood, brave and ample, but lacking in strategy; she is more suited to be a vanguard general, yet not suited to command the entire army.

But he, in his lifetime, had sons who all died on the battlefield, leaving only this daughter; at the time he also wanted to keep her away from the frontier, which is why he agreed to her joining the Kang Clan.

Unexpectedly, Zhi Chun's disposition and thinking are too suited for the battlefield.

Especially……

Her strong commanding tone is entirely someone prepared for the battlefield.

Excellent, your mother raising someone like you is enough. General Jiang felt happy inside; with successors, how could he not be happy?

Unexpectedly, Kang Zhi Chun shook her head, 'Grandfather, I am not the most outstanding.'

My companions have many outstanding people; in strategy, I am inferior to Ning Hanmo, inferior to Kang Wu, inferior to Ning Qiancheng, inferior to Kang Nai Xin, and even inferior to Zhiqiu.

In bravery, I am inferior to Zhi Xia, inferior to Kang Wen, inferior to Han Wen Jun, or rather Zhang Cunwen.

In attentiveness, I am inferior to Zi Wei, inferior to Jia Chuan.

But……

She lightly laughed, because she thought of her companions: 'I also have my advantages, which they lack—I am good at commanding, good at controlling my emotions, good at grasping the basic rhythm; these are my advantages.'

She has always known her goal, and always known her advantages.

Among this group of companions, who isn't outstanding?

She is equally outstanding, only their strengths lie in different directions.

Well said. Jiang Yun Chu nodded; from beginning to end, she had not spoken.

But Kang Zhi Chun's rationality and wisdom let her admire.

These children, from individual kids, have already matured in disposition.

No, it's the Dean who taught us well; you have always told us not to compare our shortcomings with others' strengths.

We have our own strengths!

The Dean's words have always accompanied them, sharpening their resolve to move forward.

Have I said this before? I'm old, my mind isn't good, I can't remember. Jiang Yun Chu shook her head, looking like she couldn't recall, making everyone in the room unable to help but laugh.

However, the voice was very soft, for fear of it being transmitted outside the tent.

The news of my awakening is hidden; you should drill the troops, pay attention to Xijiang's movements, calculate the time—it's also coming soon.

Yes. Jiang Fengsheng immediately accepted the military order.

At home, they are father and daughter.

In the barracks, military orders are as firm as a mountain.

I'll leave tomorrow. At that moment, Jiang Yun Chu spoke astonishingly.

Jiang Fengsheng looked at her with some worry, already having a guess in his heart: 'Where are you going? Your inner strength still needs a few days to recover; now is too dangerous.'

Yet Jiang Yun Chu shook her head, 'Only at this time, without inner power, is it good to enter the city.'

Wait, where to? General Jiang looked at Jiang Fengsheng, then at Jiang Yun Chu.

Xijiang. Jiang Yun Chu didn't hide it, just gave a light smile, as if going on a suburban outing.

Kang Zhi Chun looked at the Dean, 'Xijiang? Too dangerous.'

The border between Xijiang and Da Ning is currently under strict crackdown; if discovered, one would directly lose their life—going to Xijiang at this time is truly not a wise move.

Because of my poison? General Jiang realized, the toxin in his body has already been cleared eighty percent; he knows his own body well, the reproductive strength of those gu worms—how strong it is, need not be told by others, after all he has experienced it once.

Don't go; this life of mine, being able to live until now, is already a gain.

Xijiang—where is it that easy to go?

To scout Xijiang, the number of our fallen soldiers is countless.

General Jiang laughed; he is naturally carefree, especially now seeing Jiang Fengsheng and also seeing the child.

Just like that. He decided.

That probably won't work; I have no habit of giving up halfway. Jiang Yun Chu shook her head, straightened her sleeves, 'This trip to Xijiang is indeed because of you, needing to find medicinal herbs, and there is another reason—I need to go to Xijiang.'

On the letter from the Jiang family's wilderness mountains, she discovered Xijiang's address, and actually wanted to go see it.

General Jiang thought, 'Or if there's something that needs to be completed, you can tell me; I'll have the scouts go look—they're more familiar than you.'

Seeing several people's concerned gazes, her heart felt warm, yet many things require her to go herself before she can be at ease.

Depart tomorrow.

Those four words from her signify that she has made up her mind.

Back in her resting tent, she was still weak all over, her legs feeling limp.

Only today did she realize that the loss of her inner strength left her feeling insecure.

"Mother."

"Dean."

Several children looked at her worriedly, especially Ning Hanmo, "Are you going to Xijiang? Can you take me with you?"

He looked serious; if his mother were healthy, he wouldn't make a request.

But...

He looked at his mother's pale face, unable to feel at ease.

"No." Jiang Yun Chu made no movement, showed no expression, yet firmly said two words.

Ning Hanmo looked at her, "You will come back safely, right?"

Jiang Yun Chu rubbed his head, "I will."

"Okay, mother, I'll wait for you to come back."

Before anyone else could speak, he added, "I'm not going anywhere."

He waited here until the day his mother returned.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yun Chu changed into a coarse blue-green cloth outfit, dotted her face with many freckles, and found a caravan.
