1509 Birthday Interlude

Prime Minister Lei sighed deeply.

He believed that he had chosen the right person, the descendant of the former king who used to have the entire land under his command. But it seemed that centuries later, his descendant was actually not strong enough.

But even if he knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom was no longer Fei Yang Kingdom's match, he will not give up.

There were still many other methods that he could try to use.

As long as there was still a chance, he will not give up.

"Prepare for the counterattack!"

"Yes."

…

The war was fierce.

And Nan Hua was one of the few generals of Fei Yang Kingdom who had been active at the frontline. Listening to the report one by one, she understood that Zhang Xu Kingdom was already hanging by the thread.

When Long Qian Xing implemented the plan he had with His Majesty, it was estimated that Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn't be able to last even for a year.

Perhaps, next year, Zhang Xu Kingdom would be gone.

"To have another chance to witness history is truly remarkable." Nan Hua looked into the distance.

"Miss, Commander Nan sneaked in," Chu Yue suddenly reported. She had been following Nan Hua on the battlefield and also paying close attention to the matters that happened around them.

"Let him come." Nan Hua looked at the snowy ground and shook her head.

Her twin brother must have his reason why he wanted to come here.

Thud!

Hearing faint sound from outside, Nan Hua walked out and saw Nan Luo sneaking around her tent. His posture was awkward as if he was worried that someone would find him. Though, by now, her people could easily spot him.

His presence erasing skill was not exactly that good.

"What brings you here, Commander Nan?"

"Whoa!"

Thud!

Nan Luo slumped to the snow and looked at his twin sister, who was looking at him not far from him. He showed an awkward smile. "Hua'er!"

Nan Hua shook her head and pointed to one direction. "There's no people over there. Let's talk if you want to."

"Yes!"

The two brother and sister walked side by side to the edge of the hill. There was still snowy ground but from this location, they could see the distance towards the valley where they battled from time to time.

Right now, there was no battle because of the snow storm in the distance.

Both sides seemed to agree that they would just rest for the day.

No one really wanted to be caught in that snow storm and ended up dying because of natural disaster instead of the battle.

"So, what brings you here, Luo?"

"Happy birthday, Hua'er!" Nan Luo grinned and take out a box from his clothes that he had carried with him. "It's been a long time since we celebrated our birthday together, so I thought that this time I'll be the one going to your place."

Happy birthday.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. To be honest, she had completely forgotten that today is her birthday in this world. There were many things that happened, making her forgot the date.

But it was also true that they hadn't celebrated their birthday together for so many years.

Today, the two of them were 18 years old.

"Happy birthday, Luo." Nan Hua took the box and took out a bottle to Nan Luo. "You can drink this anytime."

"Medicine?" Nan Luo looked at the bottle curious.

"It can strengthen your body, but it might be a bit painful."

Nan Luo's face contorted when he heard the word pain. But he knew that his twin sister wouldn't harm him, so he nodded and kept the bottle away. "I'll use it later then."

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother's expression and felt amused. She opened the box and saw that it was a bracelet. It seemed that Nan Luo took his time to find a jade bracelet even when he was on the frontline.

Oh wait, they did conquer several cities.

He might take his time to shop around a few times.

"Thank you, Luo."

"Hey, why are you being polite?" Nan Luo laughed. "You're my twin sister, so just treat me as your twin brother and don't need to be so awkward."

"Yes."

"Have you been well? You know, I'm shocked when I heard that you're promoted to be a general several months' ago. Grandfather must be thinking that I'm so bad that I can't compare to you." Nan Luo's face scrunched.

"He wouldn't think that way. At most, he will train you so that you can be better."

Nan Luo: "…" that meant I'll get a beating through another way.

He didn't feel comforted with Nan Hua's words right now.

"If you follow the main army, it'll be harder to obtain merit and achievement with your current position. However, you can try to take your chances elsewhere and tried your best to kill someone of higher rank." Nan Hua knew that in this big war, Nan Luo's small army really couldn't create much splash.

But as long as he managed to kill a someone of high rank, it was estimated that he would be rewarded deeply.

"I know. I'll work hard." Nan Luo grinned.

Nan Hua nodded and thought of another matter. If she was not wrong, she had been seeing Nan Luo with that girl from Wei Family from time to time.

"Luo."

"Yes?"

"Do you like Second Miss Wei?"

Second Miss Wei, Wei Mu Qing, was not well known. But since she was part of the army doctor in this war, many people began to hear about her.

Nan Luo heard Nan Hua's question and his face turned red. He looked away and scratched the back of his head. After being treated with Wei Mu Qing, Nan Luo would pay a visit to her from time to time and chatted for a few moments before leaving again.

This allowed him to know more about Wei Mu Qing.

And…

"Um. I am."
