1109 New Mission
But naturally, they didn’t say this matter out loud.
They didn’t dare to do it.
Their young commander could be quite ruthless when he needed to be. Because of that, the soldiers knew that they had to behave well. At least, most of the time they had to be but there were naturally times when they could fool around.
*cough*
Only rarely, though.
There were also several other pieces of news. The most important one was the letter from Old Master Nan, berating the four of them fiercely in his letter.
In the end, it could be summarized as such:
When they meet again, he would spank the four of them.
Feng Ao Si wanted to cry when he saw the letter. He didn’t do anything this time, but he was pulled into the mud by Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai. Refuting his grandfather would only result in him doubling the punishment.
.....
All he could do was to draw circles on the corner.
Aside from everything else, Nan Hua was recovering well. It has been a while since she experienced the feeling of having her bone broken again. Thankfully, she is still young and had great recovery skill, so it didn’t take months for her to fully heals.
After her recovery, she didn’t really go anywhere, though.
Nan Hua felt relaxed after finding out what she wanted to do and having her personal matters with Long Qian Xing partially solved. All that left was for the two of them to talk about this in person.
But that could wait until later.
They had promised to meet each other when it was Autumn and this was still Summer.
She still had around two to three months before the start of Autumn.
Long Qian Xing was now stationed at the area that bordered with Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom, which was quite a distance away from here. Nan Hua had no intention of going there at this very moment.
It was at least several days away.
And should she just show up in front of his face in the middle of war like this just to tell him that Nan is Nan Hua?
That was ridiculous.
She was not that tactless.
This was at an important juncture of war and there was no need for her to break his focus for the time being.
When there was a good time for her to break the news, she would do it.
Knock! Knock!
“Nan, there’s a new mission.” Nan Luo pushed the door open and saw Nan Hua was sitting near the window. She didn’t wear her mask since there was no one who would enter aside from Nan Luo. Besides, it was just placed in front of her and could be worn as quickly as possible when she needed it.
Raising her head lazily, Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo.
Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua’s face and couldn’t help but be reminded of his mother back then. Their countenance was indeed very similar to one another but each with their uniqueness.
“What mission?” Nan Hua spoke.
Nan Luo pursed his lips. “General Wei ordered for his second daughter to return to his side because there’s an insider news about some big movement in the near future. He didn’t want to risk his second daughter to stay at this area.”
This area was at the frontline and at the very forefront at that. There was no way General Wei would risk the lives of his daughter when he found out that there would be a big movement.
Big movement?
Nan Hua focused on another point in Nan Luo’s words. At this moment, she wondered what kind of big movement would happen.
This was the eighth year of Emperor Yang Zhou’s Reign and third year after Emperor Yang Zhou inauguration.
There was nothing notable…
Wait, third year after the inauguration.
Nan Hua’s eyes flashed.
“Are you going?”
“The mission asked for me and Feng Ao Kuai to accompany Second Young Commander Wei.” Nan Luo’s face was complicated. He could remember how Second Young Commander Wei, Wei Mu Ya, looked at him not long ago.
It could be said that her hostility towards him had reached the peak.
On the other hand, her younger sister, Wei Mu Qing, merely giggled and laughed at the side as she couldn’t do anything about her older sister’s behavior.
Things was really hard.
“I see.” Nan Hua picked the mask on the table and put it on. “In that case, I’ll inform them about our departure.”
“Wait, let me do it…”
“You should just stay here.”
Nan Hua had already known that Wei Mu Ya must have bad impression of Nan Luo because of her. Since that was the case, she would just switch the target of that hatred to make things more comfortable for Nan Luo.
Things would be easier for her that way too.
Looking at the departing Nan Hua, Nan Luo could only sigh. He knew that once Nan Hua decided on something, it would be hard for her to change her mind. Not everyone could make her change her decision once she had set on something.
Not even him.
For the two Wei siblings, they were staying in a residence that specifically prepared for them. Since General Wei was the one who conquered this city back then, he had also allocated one residence for his family members so that they could stay comfortably for the time being.
Nan Hua stopped in front of the residence and cupped her fist towards the guards. “Adjutant Nan is here to inform Second Young Commander Wei about tomorrow’s departure.”
The guards nodded and beckoned for her to come inside.
Many people already knew about this peculiar adjutant, so they didn’t find it strange to find a masked ‘man’ came.
It was not like they hadn’t seen a stranger person.
For example… General Wei was known to almost always wearing his helmet no matter what the occasion was.
*cough*
They better not start talking about their superiors.
After receiving the permission, Nan Hua nodded and walked into the residence.
