Chương 268: Chapter 268: Take Under My Wing?

The room fell quiet, and Ah Jiu let out a long sigh, his young face showing signs of fatigue.

Yuan Ye felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but say, "My lord, if it really doesn't work out, we could call over Liu Zhou and Shi Shan."

Liu Zhou was the most stable and oldest of the lord's few personal guards, someone who could stand firm in tough situations.

And Shi Shan, clever and astute, excel at inferencing, both were capable people.

Having them by your side, lord, would ease your burdens greatly.

"Now that we're out, Liu Zhou is keeping watch at home. He's like our eyes and ears there. If he left, we'd be blind and deaf," Ah Jiu sighed. "As for Shi Shan, he has just found his footing in the Five Cities Army. We can't afford to pull him out."

Yuan Ye fell silent.

It was precisely because they were so important that it was such a dilemma.
