Chapter 1773 Waiting

While Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua paid a visit to Mountain Xia, their army were staying on the valley not too far from there. They knew very well that they couldn't follow their two leaders if they wanted to keep their lives.

The famous Mountain Xia had already taken a lot of people's lives because of the traps set here. "Say, when will Master come back?" Long Ai Ning sighed. Because both Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were not here, she basically didn't have anything to do. After all, she was the personal chef for Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua. Whatever the two of them wanted to do, she would be the one to cook it. Now, the two of them were not here and Long Ai Ning was simply bored. "You should just help out others if you're so bored." Long Xu, Long Ai Ning's older brother and also Long Qian Xing's adjutant and manservant, glanced at his younger sister. He had only finished his work to set up the tents and everything else. Long Ai Ning pouted. "Nan Si is not here either."

"He's following Young Miss Hua to the mountain."

"I see…" Long Ai Ning slumped to the wall. She was really bored right now because there was simply nothing for her to do. After all, her physical strength was not as good as these soldiers and helping them with their physical work wouldn't be able to give much result. At most, she would only tag along and so on. "How about Lou and Sister Chu Yue?" Long Xu glanced at his sister. For some reason, Long Ai Ning seemed to like Chu Yue so much that she had already called the other party as sister. To be honest, they hadn't interacted with each other for such a long period of time, right?

He sighed and shrugged. "Lou should be somewhere, doing his job. Chu Yue is helping to clean up the clothes and all."

"Then I'll help Sister Chu Yue!" Long Ai Ning hopped up and then ran in the direction where Chu Yue was located. Long Xu shook his head. He was glad that his sister's physical strength was not that bad. At the very least, she had the stamina to follow them in this long journey and was still very energetic. If it was most other girls, they wouldn't be able to stand this kind of environment and the long journey they needed to take. Looking in the direction of the Mountain Xia, Long Xu wondered when Long Qian XIng and Nan Hua would return. He hoped it would be soon enough.

…

At this time, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were both resting in the small hut. The night passed by quietly and they only woke up when it was early in the morning.

Nan Hua woke up early and do light exercise as a warm up. When she saw Long Qian Xing walking out, she keenly noticed that he didn't seem to be sleeping well. "Brother Long, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Long Qian Xing took a deep breath and looked at Nan Hua with a complicated look. He really wanted to get married as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be so tortured at night. Though, this kind of suffering seemed to be brought out by himself rather than brought out by others. After all, he was the one who chose to stay with Nan Hua and slept in this small hut. If he had wanted to, it was not impossible for him to ask for other place to rest. But he didn't want to stay far away from Nan Hua. The end result was naturally obvious. He could only endure and tossed around for some time before he finally fall asleep last night.

*sigh*

"Madam Yan had prepared breakfast. There's no food here and most of them are kept in her kitchen," Nan Hua said. "After the breakfast, we'll go down and continue the march to the south." This trip to the Mountain Xia was nothing more than a little detour that Nan Hua made before they continued to the south. Well, saying it was a detour was not exactly correct since this was on their route.

But they took a bit slower pace since both of their leaders wanted to pay a visit to the Mountain Xia.

Both Long Xu and Adjutant Jiang would continue to lead the soldiers to march, but they couldn't go too far from Mountain Xia because the two leaders would catch up soon. "Yes." Long Qian Xing nodded. He knew that they would continue their journey after this. "Do you want to make another stop midway?"

Before coming to Mountain Xia, they had stopped in Yi City for an incense stick of time and Long Qian Xing bought a lot of resources for them to go. At that time, his adjutant was missing for a period of time and Long Qian Xing had guessed where that young man go but didn't bother with it. Anyway, he was not so nosy. But in that short break, they didn't really do anything else, so right afterwards, they left again for their march.

This trip to the Mountain Xia took a much longer time because Nan Hua stayed overnight. An additional day was nothing much for them, but if it was repeated often, then it would be a problem.

So Long Qian XIng wanted to know whether Nan Hua had any plan to stop again. "Another stop?" Nan Hua repeated and tilted her head. She was not very familiar with the territory of Fei Yang Kingdom further down to the south. After all, her range of activities were more to the middle and the north. There were not many places she had gone on the south of Fei Yang Kingdom. Well, to be exact, she had no business in this area, so she had never paid attention before.
