Chapter 296: Take a Look at This Contract
Spring Festival, as the most important holiday for descendants of Yan and Huang, has a significance that cannot be replaced by any other holiday. Unless circumstances are extremely special, it is generally a time for family reunions, staying up late on New Year's Eve, setting off fireworks, and eating dumplings. With the New Year just a few days away, people's minds are occupied, making it a very unsuitable time to go out to sea. Besides considering for Liu Shiqing, Bao Guohua and Wen Suwan also had to consider the feelings of the soldiers, seeking to avoid any complaints that might disrupt the normal order of the military.
Bao Guohua and Wen Suwan, a pair of generals, set out together, hoping to persuade Liu Shiqing to give up his insistence on going out to sea. Even if only after the New Year, they implored him to not go out to sea during this period.
