The Grand Marshal and Xie Jue had rarely conversed, and he had assumed Xie Jue had approached him about matters concerning the Sannan Royal Family. Unexpectedly, Xie Jue spoke of arrangements for Fang Chuning.
Xie Jue said, "I am aware that the Grand Marshal intends for Fang Chuning to command the Jiangnan garrison in the future, to defend the border. After the envoy's return, he will be placed in the Jiangnan military to gain experience. However, I hope the Grand Marshal will cultivate another commander for Jiangnan. You are still young, and there is enough time to develop another leader for Jiangnan."
The Grand Marshal's heart jolted. He had never considered entrusting the Jiangnan garrison to anyone other than Fang Chuning. Chuning was his chosen successor, the one he deemed most suitable.
"Why?"
