1226 Emperor Yang Zhou’s Arrival in Yi City



"I didn't expect the two of you to make good food," Old Master Nan commented after they had finished their simple dinner. Normally, the chefs will prepare a lot of side dishes, but this time the twins were not interested and only have the big pot of soup for them to eat.

Nan Luo rolled his eyes. "Of course that's because the two of us have good culinary skill!"

Nan Hua only looked at her grandfather calmly. "It's edible."

Nan Luo: "…"

Old Master Nan laughed. He then tapped the table. "You should rest for the day. I'm sure that your cousin will be annoyed when he found out that he can't eat together with you two."

It was then Nan Luo remembered that Feng Ao Si was also in this residence. He was embarrassed. "I forgot Brother Si is also here…."

Feng Ao Si, who had just finished the training Old Master Nan imposed, stopped in his steps: "…" why did he feel that his presence was superfluous in this residence now?

Should he go out and apply for a residence on his own?

But he was not planning to stay in Y City for a long time, ah.

"There are still some soup left." Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo and felt that her twin brother was better paired with Feng Ao Kuai than Feng Ao Si. She didn't want him to be infected with Feng Ao Si's stupidity.

"Oh, that's good, then."

Feng Ao Si walked to the table with sullen expression. "Why am I being forgotten like this, ah?"

"That's because I don't see you for the entire day," Nan Luo was blunt.

"I was training under Grandfather's order!"

"Where did you train?" Nan Luo was doubtful. This residence was not so vast that he couldn't see a person for the entire day, right?

"At the backyard."

"…I didn't go there today."

The training field that they used was located at the left wing. The door was naturally located at the front, so they didn't go to the backyard.

Feng Ao Si rolled his eyes.

Nan Luo ignored his cousin who had picked his meal and looked at his grandfather. "Grandfather, is it convenient for us to know what General Mu told you?"

"I can't tell the details." Old Master Nan felt that this matter was better left for those who were directly involved. Those uninvolved should just stay away and not disturb them. "But I can tell you that he wants my help to clean up a bit."

"Clean up?" Nan Luo was confused.

Nan Hua's eyes flashed for a bit because she understood what General Mu wanted to do. However, General Mu was not in the position to do anything because of the injury he suffered. It has been several years, but General Mu had not recovered because of how deep the wound is.

Would it be possible for Traveling Doctor Liu to help?

But she knew that her master was now at the north of Zhang Xu Kingdom and that it would be difficult for her to contact him for the time being.

"Yes. At the same time, I also obtained the news that His Majesty will arrive in Yi City tomorrow."

"What?" Nan Luo was stunned. "His Majesty will come to Yi City?"

"Yes, the news is accurate, so you just have to be prepared for tomorrow."

"I understand." Nan Luo nodded solemnly.

In front of the Emperor, they should never slack off in the slightest bit. But honestly, Nan Luo could no longer remember how Emperor Yang Zhou looked like. The last time he saw the other party was when they were in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

At that time, he participated with his grandfather in the matter of returning the Emperor to the palace. Even though he was not clear about what happened afterwards, he knew that they supported him.

After that event, Nan Luo had only seen the Emperor from a distance during the banquet and war celebration years ago.

It has been quite some time.

At that time, it was impossible for him to look closely because the Emperor was located at the very front and there were a lot of tall and big generals and other commanders sitting in front of him.

He couldn't even look at the Emperor properly.

Now that they had to welcome the Emperor into the city… Nan Luo sighed deeply. He hoped that the Emperor wouldn't be so unreasonable and made things difficult for them when they headed inside.

"Wait, what should I do to prepare for his arrival?" Nan Luo asked. This seemed to be the first time he would welcome an Emperor into the city.

"Nothing." Nan Hua glanced at her twin brother. "Just stay at the sideline."

Nan Luo: "…" excuse me?

Old Master Nan laughed when he saw his grandson's black face. But Nan Hua was right, Nan Luo and the others didn't have to do anything and it was him and other high ranked generals who had to be prepared.

They talked a bit more before returning to their quarter for rest.

…

The next day, Nan Luo followed Nan Hua as she simply climbed a tall tree not far from their temporary residence. They watched as the procession entered the city and a lot of people, including the Emperor, walked into the city.

Some people cheered.

Some people were looking without any expression.

And some others looked resentful.

They used to be part of Wei Da Kingdom but right now, they were painfully clear that Wei Da Kingdom was no more. This name would never resurface ever again.

"Grandfather, I thought that you're going to the front?" Nan Luo was stunned when he saw his grandfather walked to the tree and he jumped down.

"They didn't need this old bone to do anything." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and smiled. "There will be the War Celebration again, so you have to be prepared."

"Ah? Can I even get something?" Nan Luo thought about the last war celebration and felt somewhat sullen. At that time, the one who obtained exceptional reward was his twin sister and not him.
