"Eh, how did you know this?"
"Grandfather shared it during breakfast yesterday."
Feng Ao Kuai said nothing. He never expected his older brother to remember anything in the first place.
The group of children then rushed to the wall and peered outside. By now, the soldiers were already used by this group of children who would suddenly come to the top. Because they were the grandchildren of Great General Nan, not a single one of them dared to reprimand them and simply let them be.
In any case, it was not a big deal even if they wanted to stay on top of this wall.
Nan Hua's eyes locked onto the crowd that was coming from a distance. They were all wearing armors and several horses were surrounding several grand carriages. From the way it looked like, it was undoubtedly a grand procession.
'The soldiers are not tired. They're completely replaced from time to time in order to make swift journey.'
It was not an uncommon tactic, but it was mostly done for delivering messages. For example, a courier had to deliver a message from the frontline to the Capital City. The frontline was several days away from the Capital City, so they could only use birds. But if they couldn't trust birds, they would use soldiers who would exchange the horse he was using so that he didn't need to rest at all.
That way, he could reach in one and a half to two days' time albeit losing sleep.
However, it was much faster this way and the tired horse would only have half the journey or even a third because they were replaced at set point.
'Has this method been implemented during this time?'
The kingdoms in this area had all been waging wars with each other, so Nan Hua would not be surprised if they developed some strategize in order to win more effective war. While it might not be as advanced as the modern world, their style of fighting still reflected the ancient wisdom.
"Where will they stay?"
"There's an inn that has been emptied out to receive Princess Yue's arrival. They'll depart again tomorrow." Feng Ao Kuai was the most knowledgeable because he had managed to earn information through some igneous method.
Nan Luo looked at his cousin suspiciously. "How did you know all of this?"
"Grandfather told me."
Feng Ao Si: "…" no, grandfather will never tell you anything like that. I have tried to pry information from him but only get kicked out of the room in the end.
If Feng Ao Kuai knew what his older brother was thinking, he would have scoffed and said that his older brother didn't know the right method. However, right now, Feng Ao Kuai's attention was on the princess.
"Shall we eat in the restaurant right across their hotel? I can book a room." Nan Luo grinned.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother then nodded. She was a bit curious about their method of changing the guards. Would there be some of the original soldiers left or it would all be new ones?
While she was thinking, the children headed to the designated restaurant and ordered for food. Feng Ao Si was the largest among them and naturally had to pretend that he was an adult or it would be impossible for him to stay there.
"Why is Hou Lin not here?" Feng Ao Si grumbled after he had successfully ordered the food from the servants.
"He's hidden in the shadow."
"Hou Liang is accompanying General Feng." Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si and grinned. "You don't think that he'll all the time, right?"
Feng Ao Si: "…" I did think of that for a moment.
Nan Luo took the glass of water in front of him and sipped a bit, wetting his mouth. "Commander Hou is actually a high ranking official soldier. He only follows Grandfather because he's under Grandfather's command. But because of General Feng recent task, Grandfather asks Commander Hou to follow him in order to increase the safety."
It was only now Feng Ao Si knew why Hou Liang was not present. At the same time, he began to sense just how serious this situation was for Old Master Nan to send Hou Liang to accompany General Feng.
"Commander Hou will not follow General Feng outside." Nan Luo seemed to be able to guess what Feng Ao Si wanted to ask. "It's only when they're in Wind City."
Hou Liang couldn't possibly leave Old Master Nan for a long time. After all, Hou Lin couldn't possibly protect them all the time.
The sound from below attracted their attention. At the next moment, they heard the sound of a female arguing with the servants there.
"What kind of food is this? Her Highness is from the Imperial Family and naturally will not tolerate having to eat such low food. Don't you have anything better at all?"
"My apologies, the food has always been . We're not trying to slight Her Highness!"
"Please forgive us, Your Highness…."
"The ingredients didn't have any problem."
As the people there made commotion, the commoners were looking at the inn with disgust. They had heard about Princess Yue coming, but seeing that she was blatantly throwing food away, they were enraged.
Do you know how many people couldn't eat well every day?
They were annoyed when they saw the food that was thrown to the ground.
Nan Hua was watching from a distance away through the private room. She had heard about Princess Yue's arrogance, but this was the first time she ever seen her. Probably in many people's heart, it was fine for her to be arrogant because she was of the Imperial Family.
But in this situation….
"She's making enemies." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding the reason why Princess Yue would aggravate the situation.
"Yeah.." Nan Hua's eyes lowered as her black pupil flashed with realization.
