Chapter 660: Anything?

"The King must have had some other plan so he made such a decision." Gu Chaoyan said seriously. She had intended to tell Zhou Huaijin about this, but he came to her instead.

Zhou Huaijin also realized that it was more than about the rank. He glanced about discreetly, seeing that both Fu Bao and Sword One were guarding them from close by whilst the other servants were already out for their own business. No one was able to hear what they were talking about.

He let out a sigh of relief. "What is your opinion, Chaoyan?"

"It is a peaceful time now, and Duke North is a very important rank, but that person doesn't have to lead the army. And as far as I know from Mrs. Duke North's words, the King has always wanted to give rank to Zheng Chenyi, and he deserves to have the rank too, except that he will only get it after the New Year… However, he changed his mind recently to give the rank to someone who can lead the army."
