Chapter 184
It means that the two of them looked exceptionally similar. And at their young age, their height was also very similar. If the two of them wore the same clothes, it would be practically impossible to differentiate the two of them from one another.
“What’s your plan?” Feng Ao Kuai asked from the side curiously.
“An eye for an eye.”
Old Master Nan was speechless. He looked at his granddaughter for a while before his voice strained a bit. “You have to be careful to not get found out.”
“Can you act as Luo?” Feng Ao Si was more curious about something else. In his opinion, Nan Hua and Nan Luo were very different from each other. Except for their similar countenance, their personality was like Heaven and earth.
It was completely different.
Nan Luo scoffed. “Hua’er is the best! Even if she didn’t act like me, she can definitely pass off as me!” but then he realized what he was saying and quickly changed his tune, “Wait, I don’t accept this! I want to deal with that Young Master Shangguan on my own!”
“He’ll be sent to the frontline soon.” Feng Ao Si passed a look at Nan Luo. “Didn’t you hear the news that the Shangguan Family will be going to the frontline to replace General Feng?”
“Ah?” Nan Luo was stunned. “But I should be able to heal earlier than your father’s return, right?”
There was only one General Feng, so Nan Luo would never mistake him for anyone else. The only General Feng would be Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai’s father, who had been at the frontline for the longest period of time.
“…Luo, did you properly learn about military? It’s impossible for General Feng to return first because they’re guarding the frontline. It has to be General Shangguan coming and settling down there. The changing might take a month or two, so they have to depart soon or it would be hard to depart when the temperature is already so cold.”
The change of post was done because soldiers also needed to go home. It was impossible for the soldiers to live forever at the frontline and worked without any chance to go home. It was because of this that they would give rotation and some break.
Of course, General Feng wouldn’t be able to relax for long. After a few weeks of break, he would return to deal with the skirmish around before getting another post in the future.
Shangguan Yi was just selected to come along this time since the brat was already 14 years old. It was time for him to start serving in the military and earn some merits like his older brothers and cousins.
Nan Luo’s lips twitched. It was no wonder that Shangguan Yi was in a hurry to challenge him today. It was because he would soon depart to the frontline.
“When?”
“Next week at the latest.” Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo. “Leave this to your sister. I’ll protect her.”
Nan Luo glared at Feng Ao Kuai. If only he was not wounded, he would have long screamed at Feng Ao Kuai, saying that he could protect his own sister on his own. But since he was already in this condition, he was truly not in the mood to fight.
He couldn’t even stand properly…
Old Master Nan looked at his grandchildren and felt a bit amused when he saw them. Even though he was a bit angry at Nan Luo, he knew that it was time for something else. “Since Ah Luo wouldn’t be able to spar, it’s time for you to have a different type of training.”
“What is it, Grandfather?”
Everyone turned their head to look at Old Master Nan subconsciously. They were wondering what kind of training that they would have to experience.
Old Master Nan took out a bottle and instantly, three of the four of them have their faces turned pale. They were extremely familiar with that bottle as they had already had their share of suffering because of that thing.
Nan Hua was the only one who didn’t know what it was, but she could guess.
“Poison?”
“Yes.” Old Master Nan nodded. “When you’re at the battlefield, there’s no saying how many people might want to kill you with poison. Because of that, it’s better if you start your training little by little.”
Nan Hua was silent. In actuality, she had already ingested some poison on her own in order to build immunity. However, the amount was very small because this body was weak. Now that her grandfather wanted her to start training formally, would her body be able to hold on?
“The dose at the beginning will be small.” Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua and his expression showed bitterness. “Don’t worry, Hua’er. I’m sure that you can do it.”
“Wait, Hua’er will do the training too?” Nan Luo was stunned.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s more dangerous for her compared to you.” Old Master Nan scoffed.
He still could remember the time in the past when Nan Si Qiao was poisoned during a tea party and nearly didn’t make it. Ever since then, he forced Nan Si Qiao to undergo this training and asked her to continue even after she had grown up.
A little suffering was nothing compared to losing a life.
“Oh…” Nan Luo’s eyes turned cold when he recalled that women were indeed more vicious towards each other. If there was someone who targeted Nan Hua and used poison when Nan Hua was in the party, was there any guarantee that she could escape.
And these women would be able to simply point to their servants as the one responsible, washing their hands clean in the meantime.
It was cruel.
“So, I have to ingest poison while my body is also busy healing?” Nan Luo asked with face ashen.
“Don’t worry, I’ll pick the type of poison that will affect your healing ability. You’ll be able to heal faster.”
Nan Luo was speechless.
