1372: Departure

Departure

Nan Luo chuckled at Feng Ao Kuai's words. He stretched his hand. "More and more people moved away from here, huh?"2

"Others also move?" Nan Hua didn't pay close attention to the commanders from Fei Yang Kingdom lately. She was busy becoming a doctor and participated in the rescue of these soldiers not long ago.

"Yes. General Xing is called to the north to help General Yu." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Hua. "Since General Jue had died in Long Qian Xing's hand, General Chi is enough to defend this area. They want to make a breakthrough on either the north or the south."

Nan Hua thought about the map and understood the reason.

If they kept on charging from here, they would be surrounded from the armies from the other two directions. The terrains were against them.

So they would keep this area for defense and make their breakthrough from other areas.

At the very least, this will decrease Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory further.

"Wait, General Chi agreed to focus on defense?" Nan Luo was surprised. He only heard the bits and pieces but from what he knew, General Chi would like to focus on offense more in order to take revenge for his deceased son.

"Yes. He's not blinded by hatred, Luo." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo then looked away once more.

He couldn't say that he understood what General Chi was feeling. However, he knew that General Chi would not sacrifice everyone for the sake of his son. That was why he still agreed to hold the border and why he was still named a general.

Nan Luo nodded blankly.

Nan Hua patted her twin brother's shoulder. She looked at her twin brother who still has similar height with herself and silently wondered when he would actually have his growth spurt. Even Feng Ao Kuai was already growing taller.

As for herself?

Sorry… she hadn't increased in height for the past few years. She was basically fixed in this short height.

Aside from her baby fat on her face decreasing as she aged, her height remained the same.

"That's good."

"How are you going to settle him?" Nan Hua asked.

"I will hand him over to the related department if he's still alive." Nan Luo shrugged. He didn't really want to see this former adjutant of his again.

"Don't forget to select a new adjutant." Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his chin. "If you would like to, I can help you to select more adjutants."

"Heh, thank you."

"I thought that you're going to refuse."

Nan Luo shook his head. In terms of seeing a person's true nature and their work capability, Feng Ao Kuai was much better than him. Rather than dwelling on this matter for a long period of time, he would rather hand it all over to Feng Ao Kuai.

At the very least, he knew that Feng Ao Kuai could select someone trustworthy.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo deeply and then patted the other party's shoulder. "Don't get this into your head. There are a lot of people in the world. Not everyone is bad. There are also many wonderful people you might meet in the future."

"I know." Nan Luo laughed. "I'm not so fragile. You don't have to worry too much about me."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Nan Hua watched from the side and glanced at Feng Ao Kuai for a moment.

"I'm going to the north."

"To General Xing?" Nan Luo asked.

Nan Hua shook her head. She had no business with the army this time. "I'm paying a visit to Lin Family."

"Lin Family?" Feng Ao Kuai frowned. The information about Lin Family flashed in his mind as he tried to remember what he knew. Upon recalling the incident many years ago, his face darkened.

"Lin Family is a dangerous medical family. While they're technically under Zhang Xu Kingdom, they retained their own secret in the family and didn't divulge to the Imperial Family. The relationship remained as business relationship, but as their influence decreased, this favor also started to decrease."

"His Majesty from Zhang Xu Kingdom asked for them to make a certain poison. If they succeed, it'll be used in war." Nan Hua's eyes flickered. "I'm going to stop them."

"On your own?" Nan Luo was stunned.

"No. I have my own men." Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Though, she would only bring a few of them who will not hinder her and skilled enough.

Not everyone has enough poison resistance to go to Lin Family's area.

"Be careful." Nan Luo frowned. "I don't want you to get hurt when you go there."

Recalling the parasites and gu that Nan Hua solved for Feng siblings back then, Nan Luo really didn't want Nan Hua to interact more with Lin Family. They were really annoying and dangerous.

It would be better for others to be the one to go there.

"Don't worry." Nan Hua looked at the north. "I won't be alone there."

Her Master, Traveling Doctor Liu, was still in Zhang Xu Kingdom's area. She was not sure of the exact location, but it might be near Lin Family. After all, she had heard that one of her senior was in Lin Family even though she had never met with the other party.

"Ok."

Nan Luo sighed. "I'm going to have a light spar with Xiao Yan first. I feel that I'm going rusty if I didn't have any fight at all."

"Make sure you train him well," Feng Ao Kuai reminded.

Nan Luo laughed. "Don't worry about that."

Clang! Clang!

The sound of the metal clashing could be heard soon afterwards. With their current martial arts, it was not a big problem for them to spar with real swords instead of fake sword. After all, as long as they were careful, they would be able to make sure that they would not hurt the other party.

Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua watched from the side.

"When did you realize it?"
