Lu Jinniang didn't know what to say, but Song An mercilessly poured cold water on Ji Shaohua.

"Does Miss Lu know who you are? Why should I wait for you?" Maybe when you leave, someone will come knocking to ask for a betrothal. "

Ji Shaohua clearly did not think of this, as if he was struck by lightning.

Song An continued, "Just like how the Prime Minister is the head of the civil service, the Great General is the head of the army. If you enter the army camp, you will definitely start from the bottom of the army.

"At least ten years. At that time, Miss Lu will be in her twenties. You really dare to think about making a young girl wait until then."

Ji Shaohua was dumbfounded, unable to speak.

"Even if Miss Lu was still unmarried at that time, there was only one general in this dynasty. If you want to be a general, you have to beat down your future father-in-law first. Are you sure that at that time, General Lu would have no objections towards you and marry your daughter?"

"So wake up, a man shouldn't be hanging himself on a tree. You still have a lot of time to squander, and your ambitions are about to be unleashed."

The first to stand up and fight back wasn't Ji Shaohua, but Kong Lian, pointing at the leisurely Song An, shouted, "You have taken over the position of Marquis Qi Yang, and after your meritorious service, you have another capable brother. We are both silkpants, and you have nothing to worry about, but Ji Shaohua and I are not the same!"

"What do we need to do, what do we need to do? What right do you have to point fingers and point at us?!"

His temper flared as he slammed the door and left.

Ji Shaohua looked at Song An, then looked at the door before silently standing up from his seat and leaving. However, he was much more polite than Kong Lian. He even knew to say, "Goodbye" and then shut the door properly.

"I don't know if what Brother Song An said is true or not, but I still want to do as I see fit."

Ji Shaohua said before he left.

Song An didn't seem to take the current situation to heart. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Tsk, tsk, you're already so old, and yet you act like a child. What's with this temper of yours? I'm not your mother, so what else can I do with you two?"

"This is the first step of growth and transformation. They will understand it in the future. However, Brother Song, do you need to break all ties with this man in front of someone you've only known for a short period of time? "

"How can you say that? Regardless of whether or not I am truly an unspecialized character, I believe that unspecialized characters are your status and consider you as a friend," Song An laughed. "Furthermore, I am too sad that I broke off with my brother. It's better to have someone to accompany me."

Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows but didn't speak.

He was suspecting his identity as an unspecialized character in the martial arts world, but that was also true. 'Chu Qingxian' had only appeared in Liang Jing city a few times, and every time he had appeared there, along with his disciples, Pei Yu, Shen Yin and then them.

Amongst these popinjays, Song An had always been the one who saw the light the most. He was also the one who understood the light the most. The most precious thing was that he could pretend to be ignorant.

The imperial court was a busy time. It was both a challenge and an opportunity. The court officials knew very well what kind of people they were. If they didn't find something for them to do now, they wouldn't have a chance.

Gu Yan allowed them to be around the same age as Pei Yu, but the only difference was that they were spoiled by their families, while Pei Yu had his own plans and was gradually implementing them. With Pei Yu's talent, with just a few more years of training, he could become the new generation's cornerstone.

However, they were different. It was not that they did not have any plans, it was just that they were too lazy to think about their future and could clearly recognize themselves, but they did not know where their focus was.

Now that they were in the process of being forced, it was very normal for their emotions to rebound. Once they got used to it and accepted it, they would truly be able to see through it.

However, Song An was different from them.

The title of Marquis of Qi Yang should have come from Song Yi, but Song Yi knew that if he attacked Song An, the latter's existence would definitely be buried under him. And if Song An, who had died on the battlefield along with his father and hid in the shadows, came into view, then he would be forced to follow his father's path.

But how could Song Yi not know what his brother was capable of? Song An didn't have the ability to lead troops. If he wasn't present, he would have gone to the battlefield alone, leading to his defeat. This would damage his empire and the glory of the Marquis of Qi Yang would be gone.

Why not just directly put the title of 'Marquis of Qi Yang' on Song An and let everyone know of Song An's talent and not risk throwing him into the borderlands? However, Song Yi's greatest selfishness was probably to leave a trace of the Marquis of Qi Yang's bloodline, so that his mother and son could be happy together.

It was said that Song An was a game that could be played with such ease because of his father and brother. However, it was also possible that Song An was restraining him, preventing him from letting go of the shackles that bound him to himself.

"Brothers, we are all on our own paths, but I will continue to be a popinjay who eats and waits for our deaths, I will not hinder my brothers and become a stumbling block for them on their path forward. Similarly, I do not want them to throw the pot at me when things go awry for them, because I am a popinjay."

As for Ji Shaohua, I feel that he is being too naive and has not changed his mind. Even if he is in love with Miss Lu, so what? My mother and my father are the same. My father told my mother to wait for him.

"The last thing I received was a handful of my father's ashes …" Song An replied, "A man should act within his abilities. He would rather not make a promise than break it, so as to give others empty hope."

"However, I still admire Ji Shaohua a lot, just like how I admire you. He has perseverance and determination, I just like the kind of temperament you guys have, one that won't give up until you hit the south wall. Especially after you hit the south wall …"

Hey hey, I was clearly sighing over my mental history just now, how did I suddenly become a ghost? That 'I really want to see you crying and bleeding after you hit the wall' look can be retracted a little! She's still here!

"Aiya, my apologies, is it not good for me to admire you?" "Look, my brothers are all gone. You're the only friend left, aren't you going to obediently call me 'Big Brother' to comfort my wounded heart?"

Lu JinNian's face was filled with black lines. He stared at Song An for a while, before suddenly kicking him far away and sending him off with a word.

"Hur hur."
