The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 977

[Chapter 977: Both Wisdom and Courage]

“If you don’t reveal your identity, I’m afraid you will have to taste the taste of my sword training in the past few years.” He was ready for the battle.

“Don’t you even recognize me? If you have the courage, take your sword and chop me.” Qin Kai was also very angry. Being able to hold a sword was already a forbidden rule in the army.

And now he was going to threaten the Taiwei with a sword. Qin Kai naturally admired such courage, but such disrespect angered Qin Kai.

“Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar? Are you General Qin Kai?” At this time, Gan Mao suddenly realized it. No wonder he said that the tone just now was so familiar.

“Gan Mao, do you know your crime?” Qin Kai was as serious as ever.

“No, I, Gan Mao, am innocent. The order in the army only said that the sword could not be brought into the barracks, but I buried the sword in this mountain, and I didn’t expose it.” Gan Mao spoke confidently, and it seemed that he understood the law.

“What crime should you be charged for running out in the middle of the night?” Qin Kai also picked out his faults again.

“There is no rule in the military camp that says we can’t come out for training at night. I came out only to improve my combat capability, and I didn’t leave the military camp. I don’t know what crime I, Gan Mao, have committed.” Gan Mao was confident again.

“I absolve you of guilt. Your character seems to be very admired by this general. It’s just that you are a smart person. I hope you don’t talk to your superiors in this tone. This is the minimum respect.” The general also stood up slowly. “

I know my crime. I hope the general will forgive me. I come here to train every night. I will not disturb and affect the training on the second day. I hope the general will not over-speculate my meaning.” Gan Mao also bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

“I didn’t say you were wrong. I just hope you can talk to your superiors in a calm tone. I am naturally very pleased that you can do your physical training during your rest time at night.

If every soldier is like you, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of my Yan army will be greatly improved.” The general also praised Gan Mao, and Gan Mao was naturally smiling.

“I dare to ask, why did the general come to the military camp today, and come so late, is there something big happening?” Gan Mao also said it out of curiosity.

“Of course there is something, do you want to hear it? If so, let me see if you are sincere.” Qin Kai also asked Gan Mao a question, but he never thought that Gan Mao was so bold that he asked again.

“I swear on my life and the lives of my family, if I tell others what the general told me, the sky will be struck by lightning, and my whole family will die immediately.” Gan Mao is also a man of his words, and Qin Kai also believes him very much.

But I didn’t expect Gan Mao to be so bloody that he even brought his family with him. It seems that Gan Mao is very credible.

“Of course I believe in your loyalty, which can be seen from the fact that you are training here alone at night. But I heard from General Qin Kai that you are very intelligent. So today I want to ask you a question, can I?”

Qin Kai did not expect that the general would pardon him and ask Gan Mao a question. He was also puzzled about what the general would do next.

“If I can solve the general’s problem, it will be my gain tonight. General, please tell me.” Gan Mao was also eager to wait for the answer to the question.

“Our army will conduct a siege in half a month to suppress the usurpers headed by Prime Minister Zhao. They will surround the entire palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as to force the emperor to give up the throne.

I asked General Qin Kai to train you new recruits as a whole. I hope these new recruits can become a powerful weapon to encircle these usurpers. I don’t know what you think of this matter.” The general also wanted to hear Gan Mao’s thoughts.

After all, if such a talent is only trained in the army, he may just be a mediocre person. Even if he gets a relatively high official position, it only means that his training is excellent.

When Gan Mao heard such a question, he was unexpectedly not surprised. Instead, he said to the general:

“I knew that the general would ask this question. I have already figured out the reason some time ago. Now that the general asked this question, I will answer you.” Gan Mao also spoke with confidence.

“Oh? In the entire military camp, only General Qin Kai and I know about this matter. Did General Qin Kai leak the information to you? Can you tell me why you know such a thing?” The general was also shocked and couldn’t believe that the situation had gone.

“Hahaha, because of my outstanding performance in the army, some veteran centurions found me. They also secretly formed an alliance with me. They told me that they would surround the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival to force the emperor to abdicate.

Seeing how outstanding I am, they also hope that I can join them, and promised that if this mission is successful, I will be made a ten-thousand-man commander in the army. I will naturally not agree to such temptation so easily.” Gan Mao also told the truth.

“It seems that these people have made such a big move, so the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival will be the memorial day for these rebels. I wonder what you think?” The general also wanted to hear how Gan Mao did it.

“This group of soldiers has been bribed by the ministers in the palace with a large sum of money. I am not interested in what they have done, but I don’t know why these soldiers would rebel. I am also trying to find out why Prime Minister Zhao would take such a step.

It is because the emperor trusts him too much. This situation is also very obvious in Wei State. There are always some people who flatter the emperor, causing the emperor to deal a heavy blow to these treacherous people, thus leading to the decline of a country.

I have witnessed all these things. Naturally, I don’t want this situation to happen in Yan State, and I am also considering whether to surrender to your Yan State, but I never thought that General Qin Kai conducts strict training for our recruits every day, and I also know the reason.”

Gan Mao is indeed a smart man. Facing such a problem, he has thought a lot. He already knows a lot of situations in the palace, but he dares to say such words to the Taiwei. It seems that he has chosen to join the side of justice.

“You are indeed a smart person. You have grown a lot from traveling for so many years.
