1361 [Bonus chapter]Promise
After the meal, Feng Ao Kuai asked their mother about the preparation. Upon hearing what his mother had arranged, he could only nod and felt that his mother knew better than anyone about this.
He chose to leave and dragged Feng Ao Si with Nan Luo to the nearby hill.
"Why are you bringing me here, Ao Kuai?" Feng Ao Si was speechless.
"Of course, it's to have another spar with you. When we return to the military, there's no way I can fight with you openly," Feng Ao Kuai answered shamelessly.
Feng Ao Si's face was black.
Looking at his younger brother and younger cousin who had taken out their weapon, he could only silently take out his weapon too. Thankfully, they were all soldiers and used to carry weapon all the time.
Thus, the fierce battle began.
Sound of metal clashing could be heard and some passing villagers saw this scene but ignored it. After all, the few servants who were staying behind had told them that these few young masters were itching to spar and thus pick this place.
These villagers knew the difference in social strata will make it harder for them to go against these nobles. Thus, they chose to ignore them when they saw that kind of trouble from a distance.
Nan Hua watched from the distance and didn't disturb them. Anyway, she had no interest in sparring like the other two. For her, fighting Feng Ao Si was not challenging at all and if not because she was holding back, she could kill him a thousand times over.
She had only came to Sheng Village and seeing them having so much fun, she didn't want to disturb them.
Thus, Nan Hua headed to their temporary residence.
*pant* *pant*
"Damn it, you're already tired, Ao Kuai?" Feng Ao Si laughed at his younger brother.
"Your strength is still as insane as ever." Feng Ao Kuai put his sword away and laid on the ground, not wanting to fight anymore. His arm throbbed after blocking his older brother's attack a few times.
He was already 18 years old and technically, his strength should have soared. However, it was now clear that his growth was not that much in terms of strength. At the very least, compared to his older brother, he was still far worse.
Feng Ao Si laughed lightly. He sat down when he saw that Nan Luo also sheathed his sword.
Their spar had come to an end.
"Now that you're going to start a family on your own, you can't keep on running home, Brother Si."
"I don't think I spend more than half of my current life in my home." Feng Ao Si shrugged.
Aside from his childhood, which he spent with his mother in the residence, he spent most of this time in the military following his father. It was to the point that he didn't really have deep attachment towards their house.
Though, he had to say that having a home to come back felt nice.
It gave him comfort whenever he came back and saw his mother welcoming him with a smile.
Now, the one who will welcome him will be his wife.
"Right." Nan Luo didn't miss his home that much either. Whenever his grandfather was around, he ended up being beaten up from time to time, making his teeth hurt. But then again, he still hoped his grandfather is fine and healthy.
A truly complicated feeling.
"Will my life be different from now?" Feng Ao Si asked in a low voice.
He had to admit that he never thought about getting married before because he didn't really think that he had the qualification to start a family on his own. But when he saw Sheng Qi Rou and interacted with her, he felt that it was good to have a family for him.
A family who could allow him to grow and stay with them.
"Nah, it won't be that much different. Aside from the fact that you wouldn't have much time to interact with us aside during mission in the military, you also have to start thinking more about your family." Nan Luo shrugged.
He might not be married, but many of his men were married. They shared their experiences to him and naturally also teased him. Of course, Nan Luo beat them up if they dared to be too much.
"I see." Feng Ao Si looked at the night sky above him.
"Don't worry too much." Feng Ao Kuai yawned as he massaged his other arm. "If there's anything, you can ask me or father for help. Speaking of father, he will come tomorrow to attend your wedding and participate in the tea ceremony. I heard grandfather will come too."
"They're generals, right?" Nan Luo was stunned. "Would it be fine for them to leave their post?"
They were in the state of war and the generals were leaving their post? Isn't this a bit outrageous?
"Grandfather's position is in the Central Region. (the areas that previously belonged to Wei Da Kingdom is now called as Central Region) He only defend and supervise there. There's no war recently that need him to pay attention personally, so he can come back."
Feng Ao Kuai was informed of these things and Nan Hua also told him some of the other matters that he might missed. "There's a ceasefire with Shi Long Kingdom because Shangguan Xiao's sneaky attack. General Feng can take a few days to leave incognito and then go back again before they found out."
Nan Luo: "…"
Why did he feel that his uncle was actually taking a leave secretly?
Tsk, tsk, what a risk taker.
However, having their father attended the wedding would indeed be the best for Feng Ao Si. After all, he only got married once in his lifetime.
The boys laughed and talked about a few nonsensical matters for a bit more before heading to the temporary residence prepared for them.
Nan Si Qiao looked at the door, waiting for the boys who returned late. Only Nan Hua was there because she chose to come here instead of disturbing her twin brother and cousins. Chu Yue and Hui Ling were waiting outside with the other servants.
"Hua'er, can't you tell them to rest more?" Nan Si Qiao felt distressed when she thought that they had to purposely take a break for this marriage but still fought outside. These boys were truly unruly.
