Mu Sheng Xi felt that he was truly weak.
So weak that he wouldn't be able to do anything to help the family right now. His father had retired and he was nothing more than a 4000 men mander.
How many years would it take for him to reach the rank of a general?
He was not so capable.
"Be patient." General Mu glanced at his second son. "Your cousin will get married soon. You can try to make use of her marriage to expand our connection a bit. At the very least, it will prevent others from thinking Mu Family is a weakling."
Mu Sheng Xi pursed his lips.
His sisters and half sisters were all married to various people whom General Mu felt quite talented and might be able to help Mu Family. They were all nothing more than bargaining chips used to expand Mu Family power.
While Mu Sheng Xi didn't really like the way his father doing things, but he also knew that it was the only way possible for them to prevent being pletely destroyed.
He sighed.
"I understand, Father. I'll go to the Capital City soon."
"Go."
General Mu closed his eyes, reclining on the long chair once more.
Mu Sheng Xi looked at his father and lowered his eyes. He cupped his fists, turned around, and then left.
As the one who will lead the Mu Family, the burden on his shoulder was not small. But he knew that he had accepted this arrangement from his father, so he had to make sure to finish the tasks given to him.
