329 Preparation for Departure

Time passed swiftly.

After around 10 days, Long Qian Xing and General Feng returned with a princess from Zhang Xu Kingdom and let Chi Song Lian and General Chi took care of her departure to the Capital City. General Feng would also head to the battlefield soon, so it would be impossible for them to go to the Capital City.

"Consider yourself lucky this time, Young Commander Long." Chi Song Lian looked at Long Qian Xing and snorted. He was not included in the group of those who will participate in war. Even though he wanted to rake more military achievement, it would be impossible for him if he didn't even have the chance to participate.

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "Be careful on your journey, Young Commander Chi."

Chi Song Lian snorted and turned around.

Looking at the way Chi Song Lian was annoyed, Long Qian Xing was a bit amused. There would always be a chance in the future for more achievement. Being so hasty would only make the preparation they did go to waste.

Long Qian Xing knew very well that he only had to strike when there was a chance.

That was all that he needed to do.

On the other hand, General Feng informed his family members about his departure. He also looked at his children and nephew. "All of you will come with me. This time, Father in law will be stationed in different place."

"Eh, different?" Nan Luo was stumped.

General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, nodded. He didn't expect that the war would actually be something like this. By the time he received the order, he only found out that there would be two frontlines.

One would be in charge of attacking in order to take over the city. The other one would be in charge of preventing any reinforcements from the nearby cities.

Old Master Nan nodded. "I'm in charge of the offensive strike. It'll be more dangerous because we're not going to stay in one place. Because of that, you brats will be following Feng Qian Shao in the other frontline that will be in charge of defending."

"Defending again?" Feng Ao Si's lips twitched. The skirmish that he participated in before he was sent to the Capital City were all them defending against attack. They would also strike if there was a chance, but the purpose of their attacks so far was to counterattack because they were being attacked.

"Yes."

"I want to be in the offensive…"

Feng Qian Shao looked at his son and sighed. "I'll put you with other commanders to follow me when we strike. The other two will stay at the headquarter with the remaining soldiers."

"Yes!" Feng Ao Si's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Feng Ao Kuai had no intention of venturing deep into the enemies' rank, so he was satisfied with this arrangement. In any case, it wouldn't do him any good to go there when he was not very confident with his stamina and ability to last that long.

Nan Luo was a bit disappointed, but he knew that his grandfather and uncle would prioritize his safety above all else.

"Go and prepare your belongings. You're going to depart tomorrow. Hua'er, come with me. You too, Qiao'er." Old Master Nan rubbed his beard while he stood up.

"Yes, Grandfather."

Feng Qian Shao was originally going to ask his wife to take care of Nan Hua for the time being because all the men would be going. But now that Old Master Nan had asked the two of them to follow him, he didn't have any other words to say.

He could only stand up and go back to his quarter.

Old Master Nan walked to his temporary study room and beckoned for the two of them to follow him. He looked at his daughter first. "Qiao'er, I would like you to act as if Hua'er is still here for this period of time. One of her servants will act as her while the other one will pretend to serve her."

Nan Si Qiao's heart leaped when she heard her father's request. A bitter smile formed on the corner of her lips. Even though she knew that her father was planning on bringing Nan Hua to the frontline, he never expected that it would be so fast.

She was only 10 years old.

"I understand, Father." But Nan Si Qiao knew very well that she had no other choice but to comply. She wanted to protect her niece, so she would make sure that there wouldn't be anyone who dared to question this matter.

"As for you, Hua'er." Old Master Nan took out a dark silver colored mask and handed it to her. "You're going as a guard I selected for Nan Luo and have to wear this all the time. It'll be hard to use fake skin, so wearing mask is more feasible."

Nan Hua nodded and took the mask before trying it. The mask covered half of her face, but it didn't limit her vision. With this mask, it would be hard for anyone to be able to know that the person behind the scene was someone who was exceedingly similar to Nan Luo.

"Yes, Grandfather."

"Do you want to get used to it, first?"

"I'm fine."

Nan Hua didn't have any problems wearing a mask. When she was out for missions at night, she had already worn a mask that covered her mouth. Now that she was going to the battlefield, she would be wearing another mask that covered her upper half of her face.

It was common for her to wear a mask, so Nan Hua was not bothered.

Old Master Nan nodded. "Prioritize your safety. If you think it's necessary, you can use your hidden weapons."

"Yes."

Nan Hua would be carrying a sword with her this time, so she wouldn't use the knife and needles. Of course, if the situation called for it, there was nothing wrong with her using her weapons.
