Chapter 332
*neigh*
The horses were startled a bit but they didn’t make ruckus. Aside from neighing and making some noise, they still stayed on their place.
Nan Luo’s eyes glimmered when he saw the scene in front of him. His grandfather was only speaking one sentence, but it was already more than enough to raise the morals of all the soldiers in front of him.
It was amazing.
This was the first time he realized that the reason his grandfather was called as Great General Nan was not without reason. Just his presence alone was more than enough to raise the morals of their soldiers.
Would it also serve to deter the enemy?
Amazing…
A fire was lit up in Nan Luo’s heart. He swore to himself that he would strive so that he could become stronger and eventually surpassed his grandfather. That was the goal he set for himself and it would be the goal for his life.
General Feng, Feng Qian Shao was also roaring along with the soldiers. He had long wanted to surpass Old Master Nan, so he felt extremely motivated now.
As the shouts gradually died down, Old Master Nan turned his head to the back. “We’ll see each other again. Take care, brats.”
“Yes!” the three of them shouted while Nan Hua nodded faintly.
Old Master Nan then glared at Feng Qian Shao. “Take care of them.”
“I will!”
Thus, Old Master Nan departed. He would be leading half of the soldiers to engage in the fierce battle that would eventually determine their future position in the war between kingdoms.
On the other hand, Feng Qian Shao would be the one to lead the soldiers here. He looked back at the soldiers. “Those who are not selected by Great General Nan will stay here and we’ll depart tomorrow. Prepare yourself for our roles are important.”
As General Feng walked away to talk with the soldiers, the three brats also headed to the tent prepared for them. This was the base, the real headquarter for the frontline in the border. The base was naturally properly prepared and even have fences around them.
It looked like a village.
“Do you usually stay here?” Nan Luo asked curiously.
“No. This is the base to spread and control the placement of the soldiers. Originally, they’re going to build a city here, but it turned out that the living environment is a bit bad, so ordinary people would suffer. In the end, only the soldiers are living here and would go back and forth to the nearby villages where some of them have their family members lived there.”
“So, we’re also going to stay here?” Nan Luo asked once more.
Feng Ao Si laughed. “No way. This place is quite a distance away from the exact frontline. When it’s time to go, we’re going to leave and pay a visit to those people on the proper frontline.”
“I see.”
“Do you want to stay here?”
“No. I’m just curious why we’re here if we’re not going to stay, but I guess we do need to make a stop.” Nan Luo finished stretching up. He looked at the large tent where they would be staying. The inside was packed with beds in row with a small separate rooms.
The separate ones were actually for the injured, but this one become perfect for them. After all, they didn’t want to let Nan Hua slept in the same place with them and the other servants. Even if they were fine because they didn’t know her identity, they wanted to take precaution in case her identity leaked out in the future.
It would be the best if no one knew about her right now.
“Young Master, we’ll sleep near the entrance,” Xiao Yan informed.
Nan Luo nodded. “Nan can stay there.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Nan Hua walked to the separate rooms. She arched her eyebrows when she saw two beds prepared there. The room was also equipped with a makeshift table with some medical equipment there.
It seemed that this was indeed the small room for the injured.
‘But to be able to make such elaborate design with the tents… I thought the ancient world didn’t have it.’
Many times, Nan Hua felt like renewing her concept of the ancient world. Despite not having technology that used electricity, it would be a lie to say that they were living poorly. The way they lived might be completely different, but they still have the wisdom to strive to live better.
But some things were destined to never see the light again in the future and instead buried with time.
Even here, Nan Hua learned a lot of things.
Somehow, she felt that it was indeed quite fun. She never had a chance to decide what she wanted to learn, but here… she could learn whatever she wanted because her grandfather would not restrict her.
“Nan, come here with me.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
It was dinner time, so they all ate outside along with the other soldiers. Looking at the arrangement, the soldiers were all still very energetic despite the long journey of walking.
Well, that kind of walk was nothing for them.
“My butt still hurt. Does it always like that when you ride horse for days?” Nan Luo asked. He really wanted to complain that his back was unwell but it would be disastrous if he ended up being left behind here. He didn’t come here and suffer that torturous journey just to be sent away like that.
Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo. “You’ll get used to it.”
“If you can’t even ride a horse, how can you aim to become a general?” Feng Ao Si looked at Nan Luo with a ridiculing gaze.
Nan Luo glared back.
“As if I can’t. I’m just saying that I’m not used to it.”
“When you get used to it. I’ll be long outside your reach.” Feng Ao Si lifted his chin.
“Dream on!”
Feng Ao Kuai looked at the two of them and chose to stay silent. As long as the topic was unrelated to the next battle or Nan Hua, he would turn into a very silent boy.
