The news of the soldiers from other kingdoms retreating was such a good news that everyone was cheering so loudly that it could shake the palace.
Sitting on the throne, Emperor Yang Zhou also looked visibly relaxed. He had been very tense because the frontline hadn't given him much good news lately. If it continued to be bad news, he knew that it would be the end for him.
Fortunately, it was not like that.
Song Chuan also took a deep breath and leaned on the wall. He felt that the tense atmosphere was slowly easing up in the palace. It was to the point that everything felt as if it was nothing more than a dream just now.
"We should celebrate this, Your Highness!"
"It's such a good news!"
Everyone was celebrating and felt that it was the best news of the year.
Song Chuan didn't stay there for a long time and went back home when it was time. He took a deep breath as he looked at the bamboo scroll in his hand. It was given to him by Long Qian Xing's men who was responsible for collecting information.
'One of the factors that allows us to achieve victory is because of the steady supply from Heng Xing City. The growth of that city has been of a great help for us….'
For some reason, Song Chuan felt that the name of the city was somewhat familiar.
It was then he recalled that some of his colleagues talked that the governor of that city was actually an illegitimate child of Zhang Family. That official used to be very low key that no one would remember how he looked like.
Now that he had achieved this much, how could it be possible for him to stay as low key as before?
'It seems that befriending this person should be a good idea.'
After deciding on what he was planning to do, Song Chuan left the study room and headed to his room. If he was not wrong, his wife should be still waiting for him. He should accompany her tonight since he had been so busy the few days before because of the war.
"Grandpa!" Nan Luo greeted his grandfather loudly when he was called to the High Pass in the evening. The blockade had been opened and even though there were still soldiers guarding, it was no longer Nan Luo and the other's task.
Old Master Nan was also helped to stay in a better room and no longer at the very frontline like before.
Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and sighed. "Luo, be more polite."
It was then Nan Luo realized that Old Master Nan was not alone. There was a man who stood at the side of the bed, looking like he had just finished giving the military report that was necessary for Old Master Nan. He had a large body and looked a bit intimidating. However, the helmet he wore covered his real face.
Nan Luo didn't know who it was.
Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si followed Nan Luo from behind along with Nan Hua, who stayed close to the door. Feng Ao Kuai recognize the man instantly while Feng Ao Si was also confused.
"Feng Ao Kuai, 300 men commander, greets General Wei."
The other two quickly followed suit in their greetings.
General Wei swept his gaze across the three of them for a moment then retracted his gaze. He looked at the old man on the bed. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
"Are you busy?" Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows.
"There are some attacks from the other generals who didn't come." General Wei's meaning was clear: he wouldn't stay here any longer because there has been attacks when he was staying here. If he stayed any longer, it could cause more loss for Fei Yang Kingdom's side, something they wanted to avoid at all cost.
Old Master Nan nodded. "In that case, you have to be careful on your way. Thank you for your help. When there's a chance in the future, I'll pay you a visit to treat you for a meal."
"There's no need." General Wei furrowed his eyebrows.
"I insist. In addition, I'm sure that your children might be interested in meeting my grandsons."
General Wei looked in Nan Luo's direction. It would be a lie to say that his son was not interested when he heard that an adjutant from Nan Luo's army managed to wound River General Kui. It was an achievement his son couldn't replicate for the time being.
His line of sight landed on the small figure near the door. His eyes deepened slightly. "In that case, I'll wait for you."
After that, General Wei didn't talk anymore and directly walked out. He was not a person who liked to talk and naturally would not waste his time to talk with Great General Nan. There were also some pressing issues in his area.
After General Wei had left, Nan Luo's eyes shone in happiness. "Grandfather, did it mean that I can visit him in the future?"
"Yes, you can." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson helplessly. "You have to be careful, though. Young Commander Wei is not a person whom you can easily handle."
"Don't worry, I won't be careless." Nan Luo grinned.
Feng Ao Kuai's mouth twitched a bit. He wanted to say that he also wanted to tag along, but he felt that it was not really suitable since it was not like they were the one that youth from Wei Family wanted to meet.
However, he still wanted to see that young commander.
They were all the future of Fei Yang Kingdom, but whether they could really claim the title to become great general like Old Master Nan and the others were still unknown. After all, it would take many years before they could even reach the rank of a general.
