Chapter 1193 History



Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. "Is there anything else you would like to ask, Hua'er?"

Hearing his low voice, Nan Hua raised her head and saw Long Qian Xing's appearance. He was in his early twenties now and the immature look he used to have had slowly disappeared. It was replaced by the maturity of an adult and his appearance had become more defined.

"Are they related to the Imperial Family in Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Nan Hua asked for confirmation while moving away her gaze.

"Most of them all nobles or clans who have achieved great achievements. I forgot if there's any prince who become a duke whose descendant finally become an independent kingdom. There are princesses being married into their lineage, but I'm not too clear whether the current Emperor is the descendant of Zhang Xu Kingdom's Imperial Family or not." Long Qian Xing scratched the back of his head.

He was not so proficient in history because he didn't spend much time. In addition, the records during this period of time was not exactly that clear. If he wanted to know more, he would have to exert a lot of manpower.

With their focus more on the war and other development, it was indeed very unrealistic to ask him to do so much.

Nan Hua nodded. "Thank you, Brother Long."

"It's nothing." Long Qian Xing smiled.

If Emperor Yang Zhou were here, he would have long smack Long Qian Xing's head to prevent him from spouting more things. He would be absolutely sure that whatever he told Long Qian Xing will eventually fall to Nan Hua's ears based on Long Qian Xing's attitude.

"Let's get out of here."

"Okay. Can you see in the dark?" Long Qian Xing recalled that Nan Hua seemed to be able to sense the traps better than him. Even without the help of the torch, she was able to notice the traps so easily.

This made him somewhat baffled and interested.

But at the same time, he couldn't imagine what Nan Hua had experienced that allowed her to be able to do this.

He felt distressed.

"Not that clear, but I can see better than you." Nan Hua passed a look at Long Qian Xing and began to walk.

Facing Nan Hua's statement, Long Qian Xing had no words to refute. He had to admit that he as indeed not as good as her in this matter.

It didn't take a long time for the two of them to get out and then Long Qian Xing handed the key to Nan Hua so that she could open the door.

Click!

The door opened and Nan Hua handed the key back.

"I'm going back."

"Ok."

Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua blended into the darkness so easily and his eyes flashed with unknown light.

He felt happy that he managed to see Nan Hua again.

But at the same time, he was distressed when he thought about what Nan Hua had to experience to be able to rise this fast.

He rubbed his forehead.

Anyway, it was good that he could see her from time to time again. There was no need for him to pester Feng Ao Kuai about this matter again.

<Three Cities Formation, Feng Ao Kuai's location>

Gong!

The gong signaling the end of the battle ended and the soldiers were retreating.





While the battle at Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City had technically ended, it was not the same for the surrounding areas. One of the example was the three cities formation that was bordering Zhang Xu Kingdom.

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdoms were still fighting fiercely against each other.

Even after hearing the news of Fei Yang Kingdom's victory over Wei Da Kingdom, they didn't stop their attack and turned even fiercer. It was as if they were itching to take a bite of the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Second Young Commander Feng, are you alright?" the soldiers asked while panting.

"I'm fine."

Feng Ao Kuai put down the bow he was holding and stretched his wrist. Being the archer and also the commander was indeed not an easy task.

"How's the current situation?"

"It's still relatively stable, but we don't know how long this will last."

"Heh." Feng Ao Kuai chuckled and looked in the direction of Zhang Xu Kingdom. "They're not going to give up so easily."

Sora's Corner: A bit of History

I take reference from Spring and Autumn Period in real history for the background of the six kingdoms here but as I had said before, this story takes place in an alternate world. Even if there are some references from real history, what happened here (in this story) are completely fiction.

In real history, there are a total of 7 states in the end, which is Zhao, Qin, Yan, Qi, Wei, Han, and Chu. The separation process is more bloody and complicated, but all in all, most of them are from the dukes who either made contribution during Zhou Dynasty and rewarded with land or the prince that didn't succeed the throne and eventually awarded land and the title as a duke.

The brutal battle lasted for quite a long time before the separated states become kingdoms that was known as the warring states era. But in the beginning, the separated states are somewhat different from when they eventually become independent kingdom in the warring states. If you know the names of the states in the Spring and Autumn Period (the period before warring states era), you'll notice that the states' names are different.

Some states lost, some split, and some others remained victorious until they eventually become the 7 states/kingdoms in the warring era.

Anw, the details are extremely long, so you can search by yourself if you're interested.

I'm not a historian and only read these in my spare time, so if you're willing to spend some time, you can easily learn about it too. XD
