Chapter 896: Day 9 (2)

He knew the reason, but he never talked to General Chi about that matter to resolve it. It was not as if there was anything he could do as an outsider in General Chi's private matter.     

But since General Chi had been staying in Fei Yang Kingdom for more than a decade, Old Master Nan was someone who was willing to give him a chance to perform. As long as General Chi is still part of Fei Yang Kingdom, he didn't have that many opinions.     

But General Long was different.     

He didn't quite trust someone who had come to their kingdom after losing the battle. It was not like General Chi had done anything to betray Fei Yang Kingdom after coming here. However, he didn't want to trust the other party.     

Especially when he learned the condition General Chi had when he first came.     

For him, trusting General Chi was like trusting a walking disaster that could erupt at any moment when they were not careful enough.     

"Fine, I'll do it. General Chi will come with me if you don't mind."     

"Take him with you."     

"Good."     

General Long looked at the city in front of him as he narrowed his eyes. No matter what, he would destroy this city first. His soldiers alone were more than enough.     

Old Master Nan walked to General Chi to inform that they were going to the south by journeying the river bank. It would also mean that General Chi would be under him directly rather than General Long in the next battle.     

When General Chi heard that, he didn't seem to be so surprised.     

"That old b*stard is still not keen on having me along with him, huh?" General Chi sneered. "Are we going to cross the river through other areas? Would it be dangerous?"     

"It'll naturally be dangerous, but it's not completely impossible. There's an area that's pretty wide but it's not too deep." Old Master Nan smiled.     

"That's good."     

"Tell your soldiers to depart."     

"Yes!"     

General Chi watched as Old Master Nan left and sighed. As a person who came from another kingdom, he knew that there would always be someone who didn't like him. And that very person was also the person who was responsible for the battle this time.     

It just meant that he wouldn't have that much chance to show his real ability because he was not completely trusted.     

Thankfully, now he could follow Old Master Nan instead.     

At the very least, Old Master Nan was more willing to give him a chance to show what he was capable of compared to General Long.     

…     

Nan Luo and the others also heard that they would be departing right away rather than trying to conquer the city in front of them. He was stupefied when he heard that news.     

"We're going?" Nan Luo turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai.     

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He had also received the same report as Nan Luo, but he was not qualified to even ask for the reason for this sudden transfer. All that he knew was that he had to follow his grandfather.         

He turned to look at the city and sighed.     

What a pity.     

He actually wanted to stay here and watched as General Long conquered another city. That general was very good at offensive and capable to bring down the previous city very quickly.     

Feng Ao Kuai just wanted to see more so that he could learn the tactics.     

"It's said that we're leaving with General Chi and also Young Commander Chi." Nan Luo frowned.     

That meant that General Long would only stay here with his own soldiers and few commanders under him. This didn't seem to be very right in his opinion because General Long is the Supreme Commander.     

Feng Ao Kuai revealed a thoughtful expression when he heard what Nan Luo said. He had known that General Long was someone who didn't like General Chi, but this was the first time he heard that the other party completely sent him away.     

Or it might have been Old Master Nan's request.     

'In that case, our battle might be the hardest.'     

Old Master Nan was not that kindhearted to take General Chi along with him if he had no reason to do so. The only reason why Old Master Nan wanted to bring him along must be because the battle they would face was difficult.     

So difficult that he required another general.     

"Nan, what do you think?" Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at Nan Hua.     

Nan Hua was silent.     

She didn't know what her grandfather was thinking. In the original story, Old Master Nan didn't participate in this battle as there were only three generals who came. General Long, General Chi, and General Cao.     

With the appearance of Old Master Nan, she had guessed that the future course of event would be different.     

However, it didn't seem to be that different either.     

"We're going to cross the river."     

"Yes?"     

"Cross the river?"     

The other two were confused, but Nan Hua didn't plan on leaking the entire plan to them. There was another location where the water was not too deep, allowing them to pass by walking as the water would only reach their chest…     

Her head for her.     

Being short really put her in disadvantage this time.     

Nan Hua sighed internally as she could guess that it would be harder for her to cross the river compared to the other soldiers.     

After all, Wei Da Kingdom would never let them cross the river so easily without hindering their path.     

"You'll know when Great General Nan explained the drill."         

"Alright."     

"Let's go!"     

Nan Luo was already used to not knowing, but Feng Ao Kuai frowned in dissatisfaction. He felt that he must be too stupid to not know what Nan Hua meant.     

Thus, he continued to think about it as they departed.     

And before long, they encountered the soldiers who had been waiting at the river banks. The soldiers were all stunned to face a lot of soldiers who suddenly ambushed them.
