Chapter 429: Gan Ning's Wisdom

"Zijian, be careful on your journey, and don't worry, Counselor. I will definitely protect him well," Gan Ning waved to Hua Xiong, without showing any intention of asking him to stay.

It's better to go back early when abandoning one's post, and although Gan Ning was envious of the cavalry, it was a pity that he still didn't have any at his disposal. Therefore, Gan Ning felt it was best to send Hua Xiong back to train more cavalry so that he himself might be allocated a few hundred later on.

Watching Hua Xiong leave, Gan Ning made a gesture of invitation to Chen Xi, and the men behind him spread out the caltrops, lit torches in two columns, held Long Spears in hand, and stared sharply at the opposite side, motionless.
