Chapter 148: A Good Thing for the World

The next morning, Gu Yuanbai quietly had breakfast served in Xue Yuan’s room. When Old General Xue heard of it, he mulled it over and still felt it was a great disrespect. He made his way to Xue Yuan’s courtyard early in the morning and waited outside to request an audience with His Majesty.

A moment later, a servant was ordered to lead the Old General into the courtyard. Before he had taken more than a few steps, he spotted the thousand-li steed the manor servants had spoken of the day before.

The fine horse was tied to a tree, its coat a solid color without a single stray hair. It was a good horse, but it was not the one Xue Yuan had bought before. That horse had a circle of dark hair on each of its four hooves, as striking as black ropes, giving it an exceptionally heroic and dashing appearance. Old General Xue gave this new horse a second glance before walking to the door of the room.

The door creaked open, and the aroma of food wafted out. Gu Yuanbai was sitting at the table. He pointed to the seat in front of him. “Minister Xue, sit.”

Old General Xue respectfully came forward and sat down. Xue Yuan handed his old father a bowl and chopsticks. The sight of his son made the Old General’s hands itch with irritation, but in His Majesty’s presence, he merely hardened his expression.

A wave of embarrassment washed over Gu Yuanbai. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Xue Yuan finished arranging the quilts, got out of the carriage, and took His Majesty’s hand. “Your Majesty, allow your subject to help you into the carriage.”
