Fu Yuesheng opened his mouth, suddenly at a loss for words, feeling that whatever he said now would be utterly hypocritical.

Anyway, that's all in the past. Now you're to go with Duke Huguo, Gu Jun, to the east-west regions, and you must be careful every step of the way, and not be careless."
"I will remember my father's teachings by heart," the son assured.
Fu Yuesheng nodded to Prince Yan, indicating he had taken in all that was said.
