1369 Cleaning Up (2)

Feng Ao Kuai explained briefly. Feng Ao Si was speechless when he heard about what Feng Ao Kuai was actually doing.

"So you're baiting them to target me?" Feng Ao Si asked, speechless.

"You're a good target because you will never suspect them even if they got close to you." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at his older brother and then looked away again.

Feng Ao Si: "…"

He really wanted to throw a punch to Feng Ao Kuai's face, but he also knew that it was the truth. He was not the type to understand this kind of schemes. So if there were people who dared to scheme against him, he had to rely on others to discover it first.

If not, he might have fallen head first to the trap.

He was not that proficient in using his brain.

"Are there a lot of people who target you?" Sheng Qi Rou asked, worried. She didn't want to be a widow so soon after her marriage.

"Don't worry. I can deal with most of them."

Feng Ao Kuai shook his head and looked at the mess in front of him. "I'm not going to help you deal with the mess. I still have to go back to see Nan Luo."

"Ah, right. You said that it affects the Nan Family, do you mean Nan Luo?"

"They bought someone on his side." Feng Ao Kuai stood up and beckoned for Si Kang to prepare a horse. He didn't want to stay here any longer since he had finished most of the tasks he came here for.

Nan Si Qiao listened at the side while holding Feng Ao Qian. She frowned when she heard that Nan Luo was also affected. "Take care when you're in the army, Ao Kuai."

"I will."

Nan Hua had also pulled her horse forward. She will go with Feng Ao Kuai. The only reason why she stayed behind was to make sure that these bandits would not destroy the village. After all, there were not many people here right now.

There were also guards, but their number would not be enough to deal with these bandits effectively.

Anyway, with this incident, there should be more soldiers patrolling. Sheng Village will be safer to stay.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Feng Ao Si watched as his younger brother left with the few people he brought with him. He took a deep breath and frowned, wondering just who was actually targeting them. If it was someone from Fei Yang Kingdom, that person was truly stupid to make a move during this sensitive period.

With the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom was still raging on and not doing too well, anyone who dared to betray Fei Yang Kingdom will be put to death sentence right away.

…

Old Master Nan, General Feng, Sheng Shan Lang, and Nan Luo all returned to the frontline. General Feng was heading towards the border with Shi Long Kingdom. Old Master Nan head back to Yi City. On the other hand, Sheng Shan Lang and Nan Luo were heading towards the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom.

"Why did Second Young Commander Feng stay behind?" Sheng Shan Lang asked as they were about to reach the camp.

"He still has something to do, Young Commander Sheng." Nan Luo's expression was calm.

"Really?" Sheng Shan Lang arched his eyebrows.

Thinking about his sister and his new brother in law, Sheng Shan Lang sighed deeply. He didn't want to stay behind because he knew that if he were to stay there, he might regret introducing a man to his sister.

Anyway, the two of them had good relationship with each other, so he hoped that they would get along well in the future.

"Yes." Nan Luo looked in the direction of his own army and waved his hand towards Sheng Shan Lang. "I'm going first, Young Commander Sheng."

"Take care, Young Commander Nan." Sheng Shan Lang looked in Nan Luo's direction thoughtfully. However, he was not that close with the other party and naturally had no intention to interfere with whatever business Nan Luo has.

He turned around and led his own horse and few people back to his own army.

"Young Commander," his soldiers greeted when they saw him.

"Did anything happen when I'm away?"

"There's nothing big. Some other commanders conquered another city not far from here but it's taken back by Zhang Xu Kingdom not long afterwards." The soldiers sighed.

Nan Luo nodded.

This was one of the reasons why the two sides had been in deadlock for some time. Even if one side managed to breakthrough and conquered a city or something, the other party would take it back soon.

They had to figure out a way to push the other party back.

One way or another.

"Qiu Xian, Hou Ming, how's the situation in the army?" Nan Luo looked at his two other adjutants, who came forward.

"Young Commander, everyone has been resting well."

"We should be ready to depart again soon."

The two of them gave their report.

Nan Luo nodded and looked at Qiu Xian for a moment. "Qiu Xian, come with me for a while."

"Yes, Young Commander Nan." Qiu Xian cupped his fist and followed Nan Luo.

They stopped not far from the tent and there were no one else around. It was a relatively secluded place.

"Did you go to recruit more soldiers again?" Nan Luo asked, his tone was calm.

"Yes. Our army suffered some casualties. To make sure that there are enough numbers, I recruited a few more soldiers." Qiu Xian felt that there was something wrong, but he tried his best to stay calm. "Is there anything wrong with it, Young Commander Nan?"

"Yes." Nan Luo looked at Qiu Xian. "Why are most of them come from Zhang Xu Kingdom?"

Qiu Xian's expression changed slightly. "Young Commander Nan, even though they live here, they used to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom. It's only due to war that they become part of Zhang Xu Kingdom."
