"I haven't been back in ten years; this time, I hope, my lord, you could take a detour to visit my mother and tell her that I haven't failed, that I'm not a ruthless murderer."
Yuan Zhi, a young and immensely talented strategist who had shaken the lands upon his arrival, now had a hint of longing and sighing in his eyes. Hearing this, Li Guanyi laughed heartily, "What's so difficult about that? Don't worry, don't worry, I understand!"
The young general clenched his fist and smiled,
"Perfect, since we're taking the diplomatic corps, let's first visit your mother before heading to Central State; tell her just how great her son is!"
Relief washed over Yuan Zhi's face as he said, "Thank you, my lord."
"You're too courteous, sir!"
