Morality and Duty
A week after the envoys left, the war between the United Tibal army and the Army of the Wind Kingdom started. All the trained soldiers of the Imperial Army who had already been sent there under the Imperial Commander Lin Bingwen, the winner of the Martial Arts Tournament this year. There were other generals who had experience with him too.
The day before General Zhong left for battle, there was a military discussion with Minister Zai and Xing intruded the meeting shamelessly as she had something to say.
As expected, those old generals got a bit relaxed after she made tea for them and also since the Emperor was there, no one could say anything straight to her face.
Xing poured the first cup on the floor in memory of the Oldman. She rarely made tea these days and when she made tea, she'd pour the first cup on the ground honouring that Oldman who loved her tea the most.
