1291 Start of the Invasion War Against Zhang Xu Kingdom (1)

"Right." Sheng Shan Lang laughed lightly. "You better work hard."

When he was promoted to 3000 men commander, he was already given such a big task. It was mostly because of his background as a peasant and his own lack of training and experience. Unlike others who have systematic training, he had to train by himself in the wilderness to get stronger.

Due to the differences in their way of battle, he had been put in disadvantages many times. But asking him to study those scrolls and the tactics were highly impossible. He would never last more than an incense stick of time before feeling terribly dizzy.

He couldn't imagine what kind of requirement would it be necessary for him to be promoted to 4000 men commander.

He hoped it was not any kind of overbearing request.

Back then, he himself could only fulfill the condition because he was targeting a rather weak general from Wei Da Kingdom who was only promoted because of their lack of generals. And he was also helped by the other generals and commanders from Fei Yang Kingdom.

Without them, he would never be able to finish that arduous task.

"My path is not as thorny as you." Mu Sheng Xi glanced at Sheng Shan Lang and shook his head.

Sheng Shan Lang gritted his teeth. "I know that as well."

"Oh well, even if it's hard, it's not like there's no chance." Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head, not understanding why these two were fighting.

Mu Sheng Xi and Sheng Shan Lang looked at Feng Ao Si.

"Did I say anything wrong?" Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

"No." Mu Sheng Xi waved his hand. "Don't disturb me when we're fighting later. I don't want you to hinder my path."

"Got it."

The three of them were all assigned under General Chi. Feng Ao Kuai would be staying behind in the headquarter with a few other commanders. Nan Luo would be following Long Qian Xing into the forest.

Sheng Shan Lang laughed as he watched Mu Sheng Xi walked away. "You're truly the best, Brother Si."

"What?"

"It's nothing." Sheng Shan Lang was holding his stomach, trying to stop his laughter. He naturally realized how stupid and naïve Feng Ao Si's words were. But it was also because it was so naïve that Mu Sheng Xi was too lazy to argue.

What was the point in arguing with a person who didn't understand anything?

That would be like punching cotton and received no satisfaction in the end. Rather than wasting time, it would be better to leave directly.

"What?" Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

Feng Ao Kuai patted his older brother's shoulder. "It's nothing. You just have to keep that optimism up. Perhaps, Grandfather will be willing to promote you in the future."

"Yes!" Feng Ao Si's eyes lit up and filled with fighting power instantly.

Nan Luo: "…"

Looking at Feng Ao Si being fooled by Feng Ao Kuai, he really couldn't bear to continue looking in Feng Ao Si's direction. With Feng Ao Si's performance, if he didn't manage to improve, the chance for him to be promoted again would be very pitiful.

He might be stuck in this rank as 3000 men commander for a long period of time before he could be promoted again in the future.

That was… if it was possible for him to be promoted.

But Nan Luo naturally didn't want to erase Feng Ao Si's hope. His older cousin would be able to do his best as long as he still has hope.

In that case, he chose to stay silent.

"Let's go and have some rest. Tomorrow we have to depart early."

"Yes!"

Nan Luo then looked at Nan Hua, who was following them from behind. He grinned. "Nan, do you want to eat some snacks first?"

"It's already late, Young Master. If you keep on eating snacks, it wouldn't be healthy." Nan Hua walked closer and walked side by side beside Nan Luo. She knew that her twin brother never wanted them to put on the act of master and servant, so she just stayed by his side.

"Tsk, you're so rigid. Tomorrow, you'll come with me, right?"

"Yes, I'll accompany you with the army for the next few weeks." Nan Hua didn't know how long the war will last, but she would not stay with Nan Luo all the time.

"Ow, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes." Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly. The organization that previously based in Wei Da Kingdom had been hiding their traces after Fei Yang Kingdom conquered Wei Da Kingdom. She had only received faint traces and couldn't clean them up, yet.

When there was a chance, she will pull them out of their hiding places and cleaned them all.

But for the time being, there was no point in waiting and doing nothing. Her subordinates would be able to watch should there be something that worth her attention.

"I see." Nan Luo sighed and put the two of his hands behind the back of his head. He looked at the starry sky above him and sighed. "I hope the two of us can shine brightly like the stars above."

Nan Hua looked up and then said calmly, "I think you meant yourself."

"Nan…"

Behind the twins, Long Qian Xing watched they walked away and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He actually wanted to speak more with Nan Hua, but there was no such chance at all.

He turned around.

When war started later, he might have more chance to interact with the little lass. Somehow, he also anticipated it slightly.

…

"Prime Minister Lei, General Wei is making his move again!" one of the soldiers yelling, informing Prime Minister Lei.

"I know. Ask that new general to intercept him." Prime Minister Lei was staring at the map in front of him with serious expression, not caring about the news brought to him.
