章節 1969: Shangguan Family’s Affairs (3)

"You're afraid."

Hearing Emperor Yang Zhou's words, Shangguan Xian's body was taut and even stiffer than before. He was sure that he hid his expression very well, so how come Emperor Yang Zhou was able to notice what he was actually feeling?

Shangguan Xian was worried.

Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head slightly. "If you're sure of your retirement, I'll not stop you. However, due to your mistake in the army, I couldn't reward you for this war."

"I know, Your Majesty."

For Shangguan Xian, not receiving any reward was good. After all, he lost and it would be rather strange for Emperor Yang Zhou to give him any reward. Even if he had served Fei Yang Kingdom for a long time, he had already received his rewards during those years. 

His saving was quite a lot due to his good performance over the years. Even if it was not that much, but it would be enough for him and his family to live until the rest of their lives.
