For Huaishen's eyes only:
The court hounds me with letters, demanding my journey east. After my departure, Hexi and the Dawnfang are yours to command.
Since your father's departure, you two have never seen each other again. That is my fault. Now I follow his path to Chang'an. If you have a message, I will be its bearer.
You've spent these nights practically living in my study, arguing with me till dawn. From now on, you'll have no one to argue with. You need not ask for permission, and you need not follow my old commands. Do what you see fit. So long as your actions are worthy of the name Guiyi, nothing is forbidden.
Once I am gone, if any letter comes for Zhang Yichao, pay it no mind. Use it for kindling.
Remember this: Hexi no longer has a Great General Zhang. It has only a Little General Zhang. Take the Dawnfang, and forge your own path!
