399 Forces are Moving
"Head to Kuai City first and find out what happened there." Old Master Nan's eyes glinted with ruthlessness. "If anyone dare to harm my grandchildren, kill them all."
"Yes!"
Swish!
As Hou Lin disappeared into the darkness, Old Master Nan sighed. He knew that it was impossible for his grandchildren to always lived a sheltered life. However, he still felt that it was too fast!
His brain moved as he recalled about his oldest grandson.
"Where's Feng Ao Si stationed?"
"Feng Ao Si is stationed here, a city away at the west of Kuai City."
Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes. "Why is he there?"
"There's a report of several people missing in that area and Young Commander Feng is asked to aid in the investigation." The soldier didn't know whether to cry when he reported this matter.
Knowing Feng Ao Si's brain, it was very unlikely for Feng Ao Si to be able to stay there for a long period of time. After all, he wouldn't be of much help. He was not exactly a bright person and searching for missing people definitely required him to be smart. It was quite baffling how someone like him could be chosen for this kind of mission.
Old Master Nan's lips twitched. He knew that it must be the arrangement from Feng Qian Shao so that Feng Ao Si could learn other things.
It was just…
"Send him a message to head into the city and find out whether they're planning to send forces towards Kuai City. If they did it under Hai Family's influence, told them to not to make a move."
"Yes, General!"
Old Master Nan looked at the map and snorted. He had long known that Hai Family had high ambition. But to think that they would even resort to such move and asked for men to be deployed over in order to gain control of the city.
Hmm?
It was then he recalled that Prince Yang Lu should be in Kuai City too. It seemed that he would have to go there personally to judge whether he should do something to that prince or not.
Inciting a rebellion.
In the middle of the night.
Old Master Nan sighed and gave order to move faster. They were only a few incense stick of times away from Kuai City. If they hurry, they should be able to reach Kuai City before they were too late.
Hopefully.
…
Long Qian Xing's Side
"Young Commander! There's a smoke asking for help from Kuai City."
"Hmm?" Long Qian Xing quickly jumped down from his bed. He was a light sleeper as even the slightest bit of disturbance could wake him up. Taking his robe, he draped it over him before he walked out.
"Where is it?" Long Qian Xing glanced towards the direction of Kuai City. Even though it was quite far, he still could see it from this distance. His brain was thinking about the people who were staying there.
"Over there, Young Commander."
Long Qian Xing's eyebrows furrowed. It was clear that he was thinking about something but he didn't say anything for some time. Right now, he was in the middle of Fei Yang Kingdom after retreating from the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom. The reason being was because of his father's order.
There has been some weird movement, so he was tasked to deal with the local ruffians who had been making troubles recently.
"Has the Hai Family make a move?" Long Qian Xing asked in a low voice.
He was someone who had participated in many personal battles in the palace. Even though it was unclear why they chose to make a move right now, Long Qian Xing knew very well that Kuai City was the Hai Family territory.
The only reason why there could be a smoke from over there would mean that there was something that the Hai Family was planning to do.
"Young Commander, we haven't heard about it."
"Lou."
"Master."
"Intercept the soldiers belonged to Hai Family from the east direction." Long Qian Xing looked at the opposite direction. Since he was at the east of Kuai City, he should be able to make a move to cut off the cities over here from approaching Kuai City.
It would be too late for him to head over to Kuai City with this distance, but it wouldn't be a problem to cut off the reinforcement.
"Yes, Master."
Since Hai Family has many connections due to their marriage agreement, Long Qian Xing would use this chance to stop them first. What he was wondering was about Prince Yang Lu's position.
If that prince really launched a rebellion with the help of Hai Family, he didn't mind killing that prince with his own hand since His Majesty didn't want to kill his brother.
"As for the rest, we'll be making formation."
Long Qian Xing took a deep breath. After getting promotion back then, he hadn't had any promotion again and stuck at being 2000 men commander. He heard that his father was suppressing his promotion because he was too fast in his advancement. However, this position was enough for him to command quite a lot of soldiers.
'I'm almost 17, old man. Until when are you going to suppress me.'
Thinking about his father, Long Qian Xing really wanted to snort. He didn't have any problems leading a lot of soldiers, but his father didn't seem to trust him to lead a large amount of soldiers yet.
"Wake everyone up!"
"Yes, Young Commander!"
Hearing the call, Long Qian Xing genuinely wondered when would be the time when he would get rid of the word 'young.' He was sure that he was not that young anymore.
"Long Xu, give me the map."
"Yes, Master."
Long Xu was one of the few who would not call Long Qian Xing with the word 'commander.' He had been serving Long Family for years and naturally took Long Qian Xing as his Master.
Long Qian Xing took the map and calculated their position.
