1252 Journey to Da Yi City (5)



"Do you have hobbies, Adjutant Nan?" Long Qian Xing changed the conversation once again.

"I don't have a particular hobby." Nan Hua didn't really think that there was anything that she truly liked to do. What she did most of the time was only to ensure that everything was going on the way she hoped to fulfill the goal she had in her life.

As for hobby…?

Does challenging herself to the limit count as a hobby?

She felt that it was more like the challenge she set for herself so that she would not die when she was facing countless other missions. Because only when she set the target high and challenged herself again and again would she be able to make sure that her next mission would be done better.

The chance for survival would be higher as well.

"How about fishing? Do you like fishing?"

"I don't particularly like or dislike that activity." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing as if asking what he actually wanted to do.

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "There had to be some fishes in the river, so I'm thinking of catching a few fishes to add for dinner."

Dinner?

Nan Hua thought about it and nodded.

It didn't sound that bad. Even though Nan Hua didn't mind eating these tasteless rations all the time, she would not reject if there were other food to eat. After all, fishes were full of proteins and also good for her health. There was no reason to reject good food.

"Then it's decided that we'll go fishing later." Long Qian Xing turned to look at Long Xu. "Tell the other soldiers that they're allowed to fish during our rest. However, make sure to properly divide the work for every groups."

"Yes, General Xing!"

Long Xu was staying somewhat behind these two and couldn't hear their conversation clearly. It was only when Long Qian Xing was giving order that the voice was louder, so he could hear it.

However, he felt that there had to be something strange.

From last night, Long Qian Xing seemed to be worried about something and he awakened everyone two incense sticks before dawn, asking them to pack up and leave. With their experience, they knew that Long Qian Xing would not tolerate them taking a long time, so they hurried out.

No matter how tired and sleepy they were, the moment they heard his order, they would wake up.

No way, they had already experienced hell in his training.

If they didn't finish the task, they would be punished heavily by Long Qian Xing to the point that they would doubt their lives. Their body was extremely tired thanks to Long Qian Xing's harsh training.

But they didn't depart right away.

Even when everyone was ready, Long Qian Xing didn't immediately leave but waste another quarter of incense stick of time to wait for this young adjutant. The soldiers were confused but neither of them dared to say anything in Long Qian Xing's presence.

Their attitude was extremely serious because they treasured their lives very much.

Long Xu knew that Adjutant Nan was from Nan Luo's army.

And all these times, Long Qian Xing was always somewhat more patient when facing Nan Luo and those who had related to Nan Hua. However, the differential treatment was basically nonexistent because he would still treat them harshly in accordance to the military's rules.

But he felt that Long Qian Xing's eyes when looking at Adjutant Nan was somewhat wrong.

He just couldn't figure out what it was.

Turning to look at Lou beside him, he asked in a low voice, "Does Young Master have some kind of plan?"

"I don't know." Lou's eyes flickered. He also felt that Long Qian Xing was quite odd, but in the past few days, aside from trying to interact more with Nan Luo and the others, they hadn't noticed anything.

Now, Long Qian Xing was actually interacting more with this adjutant?

No matter how powerful the rumors said about Adjutant Nan, there was no need for him to actually treat him so specially, right?

This made him also confused.

But as a servant, he had no right to question his Master. Lou could only listen from the side and follow Long Qian Xing's order as much as possible.

"Let's just watch for now."

"Yes."

The two of them were confused, but they didn't dare to step on the line. After all, they knew that being a good subordinate meant that they were not allowed to pry into their Master's secret.

Though, that didn't prevent them from being somewhat confused.

They stayed silent and the journey continued as usual.

When it was afternoon, Long Qian Xing decisively stopped when they had found a relatively good location. It had natural protection from the nature and by arranging a few people to guard at night, they should have enough time to prepare should there be an ambush.

This location could still be said to be quite dangerous. After all, Fei Yang Kingdom's control over this area was not perfect yet.

Long Qian Xing then glanced at Nan Hua. "Would you like to set up your tent first or fish for food?"

Nan Hua looked into the distance and then at Long Qian Xing. "There will be someone who will set up the tent for me."

She had her people who followed her and there was no need for her to worry about these kinds of things. After all, this time, she was not exactly going out alone. There were a few people who followed her.

If she was truly alone, then she would not even bother to set up a tent and simply slept on the tree after making a makeshift bed.

"Yes?"

Long Qian Xing followed Nan Hua's line of sight and saw a young 'man' was rushing in their direction. The appearance was somewhat strange. Even if one wanted to say that this is a man… the feminine features were simply too strong.

"Master?" the young 'man,' Chu Yue called out.
