Chapter 419 Meeting with Mu Fei Xin

Chapter 419 Meeting with Mu Fei Xin

"No."

Nan Luo tilted his head in confusion too. "Why, Grandpa?"

"That's because we can only head to the Capital City after all the matters here had finished." Old Master Nan pointed at the city.

"Ah…"

There were a lot of soldiers who died. Included the fact that Hai Family had some influences in other cities around here, they would take several weeks to sort out everything. Not to mention, they might need to collaborate with the people who were staying in this area.

It would take a long time to finish.

Old Master Nan knew that the children would be too tired to follow him. Thus, he hoped that they would head over to Wind City first.

"Are you not going to let us get involved, Grandpa?" Feng Ao Kuai asked slowly. He wanted to know more about the matter this time, but at the same time, he knew that he wouldn't disobey his grandfather's order.

"There's no need this time. There are a lot of annoying people in this area that I don't need you to meet first." Old Master Nan sighed. He stood up. "Get some rest. You're all going to head to Wind City. Ao Si will go there too after he had finished his report."

"Yes, Grandpa."

The three of them had heard that Feng Ao Si was also involved in stopping the soldiers' reinforcement from the West. Aside from him, Long Qian Xing worked at the East while Chi Song Lian was at the north of Kuai City.

It could be said that the collaboration of several armies allowed this matter to end within a few days.

At least, the big picture.

There were still some fights in several areas, which was why the other commanders hadn't come to Kuai City. They had to make sure that they put off the rebellions and fight properly before heading here to give their report to Old Master Nan.

Several other generals were also notified over the rebellions' movement. This would allow them to stay alert and not let anyone escaped from the punishment they had to receive.

There were too many people involved.

After Old Master Nan walked out, Nan Luo sighed and leaned on his chair. "I didn't expect this matter to blow up this big. I thought that Grandpa only wish for us to get some experience."

"The experience is quite fruitful." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo. "And after this, we'll definitely be assigned soldiers."

Nan Luo was stumped.

Right.

Because he and Feng Ao Kuai was practically the ones who led the soldiers to turn their back against Hai Family, they had made quite a big contribution. There was no way the other commanders could ignore their achievement.

They would surely get some reward to become a commander.

"Are we going to be squad leader?" Nan Luo asked.

"That's one possibility. If you dare to think further, we might be assigned a little higher."

A little higher?

100 men commander?

Nan Luo gulped down, certainly couldn't believe it. They had only practically participated in one battle and yet they might get that high promotion? That was so fast.

Feng Ao Kuai chuckled, his eyes were a bit cold. "It wouldn't be peaceful in the future. I'm going back to pack up."

"What do you even need to pack?" Nan Luo was confused.

Nan Hua stood up. "Luo, you need to rest for tomorrow."

"Fine~."

The three of them returned to their respective rooms. However, Nan Hua didn't immediately rest. She sat down on the chair while waiting patiently. Footsteps could be heard from outside until her maidservant knocked the door.

"Miss, Princess Consort is here."

"Please come in."

Nan Hua stood up and walked towards the door. When Mu Fei Xin walked in, Nan Hua kowtowed to the ground. "Nan Hua greets Her Highness, Princess Consort Mu."

"Please get up." Mu Fei Xin smiled helplessly. She was not visiting formally as she was wearing a dark robe with hood that covered her face. This guise couldn't perfectly cover her, but at least, it allowed her to come here.

Though, the shadow guards had alarmed Nan Hua first about her identity.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"You don't have to be so polite to me." Mu Fei Xin pulled the hood from her head. Her complexion looked slightly haggard, but there was some kind of determination that could be seen from her eyes.

Nan Hua didn't say anything and only pulled the chairs for them to sit. Of course, she didn't dare to sit before Mu Fei Xin said anything. Her aunt had lectured her for hours about the etiquette when facing royalty and how much that they had to honor them to the point that Nan Hua felt her ear was going to fall off.

She could see that in this era, the respect towards royalty was at its peak. No one would dare to offend them because even the slightest bit of mistake could cost them their lives.

No one was that stupid.

Mu Fei Xin took a deep breath. "I come here to thank your brother and your cousin. It's a bit inappropriate for me to meet them privately, so I can only bother you."

Nan Hua nodded. While visiting her in secret like this was not exactly appropriate, it was still within limitation. After all, she was also a young lady and there wouldn't be any rumor even if word got out about their meeting.

Not that it would be good, though.

Back to the point.

"We're only doing what we supposed to do, Your Highness."

"Also… that guard Nan, could you please tell him that we're thankful for his help?" Mu Fei Xin asked tactfully.

Nan Hua's eyes shifted a bit but she still nodded. "I'll tell him, Your Highness."

"That's good."

The two of them then sat in silence. Looking at how awkward the princess' expression was, Nan Hua knew that there was still something that she wanted to say. Thus, she chose not to say anything and waited patiently.

"You're indeed different."

"Your Highness?"
