The shoulder's and guards ran to him, to celebrate the wonned battle. He signed them to leave.

The shoulders kept talking themselves,

Don't general hate kids?

The other one said,

This kid is not acting all like a kid. So smart that made off guard generals heart. And despite his look, these clothe and jewelry he must be from a high standard place and respected clan.

But why general took him here? 

Oh, the kid asked for generals help because his father is sick.

All the chattering gone when,

Chen Jun came out from his room, closed the door behind him and asked the shoulder's,

So how your general act's usually?

The shoulder's became frightened and cautious and bowed to him as an apology,

We don't dare to say that, Your Highness. We ask for an apology.

Chen Jun took out the medicine note given by Xiao Lin to him and handled to one of a shoulder.

No need, Just find those ingredients and get them ready as soon as possible. Also take out those aged palm wine and enjoy you're hard work. Leave next morning and head to home. Give your family some time.

The shoulder's screamed in happiness. One sent the medicine note to the medicine hall and others started to preparing for the occasion.

Meanwhile Chen Jun gone back to that battle field. Dugged graves after graves for the opponent battalion's by his own hand. Then with bitter scoff he started to uttering for those buried shoulder,

Never born as a shoulder again. May God bless you and make you guys through to the heaven.

Chen Jun left for his office. When the dawn came up. While he was watching other shoulder leave and giving them their salary in office, little Xiao Lin standing behind the door. Rubbing his eyes with his little hands. Then he stood in the line of shoulders. When everyone left little Xiao Lin was standing there with his hands up,

As Chen Jun came back with the foods. He seen little Xiao Lin wasn't there,

Chen Jun slides the tray down on the outside dinning and followed his smell. He was at the office. Checking the court books and writing something on spare pages.
