1565 Victory Celebration (3)

When will he be able to fulfill his promise to protect his twin sister?

Nan Luo sighed when he thought about this. 

Beside Nan Luo, Feng Ao Kuai was also looking in Nan Hua's direction and sighed internally. If Nan Hua truly wanted to, it was indeed not impossible for her to shine so brightly. 

Even now, she was already at the forefront, showing off her brilliant talents.

Under this beautiful light, it was hard to imagine how many people would be overshadowed.

'We once promised that you will stay in the dark and I'll be standing at the front. But it seems that the situation didn't allow you to continue staying in the dark.'

Feng Ao Kuai's lips curled up to form a faint smile. He didn't really care that much about this matter and felt proud of Nan Hua.

At the same time, he also felt the pressure.

Nan Hua was already standing at such a high place while he was still at this obscure place. If he didn't want to be lagged behind, he would need to redouble his effort.

"She looks familiar," Feng Ao Si murmured when he looked in Nan Hua's direction. Because his location was behind Nan Hua, he couldn't see her appearance too well, so he could only look from her back's silhouette. 

But that back… looked awfully familiar.

The two Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were not far from Feng Ao Si. They heard his whisper and looked at each other and sighed deeply.

As expected of Feng Ao Si.

Even when the truth was presented right in front of his eyes, he still couldn't connect the dot.

Oh well, just leave it be. 

At this moment, Long Qian Xing had stepped forward calmly and arrived before Emperor Yang Zhou. He knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Keep up the good work," Emperor Yang Zhou said in a low tone.

"I will." Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile as he received the scroll given from Emperor Yang Zhou. 

Looking at the smile on Long Qian Xing's lips, Emperor Yang Zhou silently shook his head internally. For them, this ceremony was nothing more than a farce because the two of them were close to each other. But this time, he was also happy to play along because one of his lifelong goal had been achieved.

What? His goal was too small?

To be able to overthrow Zhang Xu Kingdom and annexed this kingdom was definitely a big achievement. He was still in his mid-twenties, yet he managed to something that many other people couldn't do.

Though, the contribution of his grandfather and these trusted subordinate of his couldn't be ignored.

But he himself also had the clear goal from the very beginning.

Moving towards this one goal, everyone worked hard until they finally could achieve it.

But it was not done yet.

Long Qian Xing stood up while carrying the scroll. The war was not over yet, so he still had to work hard. Besides, he hadn't achieved his dream to surpass his father and grandfather yet.

After Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua slowly stepped forward from her position at the side. She could sense that everyone's gaze landed on her. Their gazes were filled with various emotions from shocks, disbelief, envy, doubt, and many others. 

For a woman to be able to achieve such an achievement, there were many people who couldn't believe it.

In this era, women's position was really low. It was so low that it was hard for them to be acknowledged for what they were doing. Instead, many of them felt that they were not worthy of this honor.

But Nan Hua didn't care.

If they truly think that she was not worthy, they could stand up and complain to Emperor Yang Zhou.

It was estimated that Emperor Yang Zhou would not listen to their nonsense. 

Emperor Yang Zhou was looking at Nan Hua carefully. With the makeup that Nan Hua used, it was hard to connect her to the previous Nan Hua in the Capital City who was a noble lady. Not to mention, she was no longer the same young her, so she did look a bit different.

When Nan Hua arrived before Emperor Yang Zhou, Nan Hua knelt on one knee. She didn't dare to look at the emperor before her and bowed her head in accordance.

"You did well, General Jun. Keep up the good work."

"I will, Your Majesty."

Nan Hua stretched her hand and took the scroll.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked in her direction for a moment and then looked away. Since he found out about her ability and identity on the battlefield, he felt that Long Qian Xing's taste was quite strange. But he would not meddle in his friend's private matter.

He simply signaled for the minister to continue.

After General Xing and Nan Hua, Great General Wei was also mentioned specifically again. He had done extremely well and Emperor Yang Zhou gave him another reward happily.

General Chi was not mentioned again.

The military deeds he had done was related to the matter of his family, so it would be better for them not to mention this matter here.

After all, it was not good to continue digging on his wounds.

After the generals, the commanders who achieved a lot were mentioned one by one. From the 5000 men commander to those others. 

There were so many of them.

"Next, Young Commander Wei had killed 5 5000 men commander, showing his great bravery on the battlefield. He didn't hesitate to attack these powerful commanders and forced them back, eventually killing them in the war.... For this achievement, he will be awarded with…"

Listening to them, Nan Luo was a bit numb. This was the first time so many people were mentioned during the reward ceremony. It seemed as if Emperor Yang Zhou was purposely showing off.

Slowly, it reached the 2000 men commander.

"Next there's Second Young Commander Feng, Feng Ao Kuai, who had done great in defending the three cities and saved the lives of thousands of people from soldiers to civilian. He had made great contribution and for this achievement, he will be given a nobility rank and monetary award…"
