Chapter 1224 Letter
While Nan Hua was waiting and Mu Fei Jiu stood calmly, looking around, the other two were heading to Old Master Nan’s study.
Nan Luo easily spot Old Master Nan sitting in the study room that was not closed at all. It seemed that his grandfather felt the room to be too stuffy and let the door open so that fresh air could enter.
“Grandfather,” Nan Luo called out.
“Nan Luo?” Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows. His eyes landed on Mu Sheng Xi and noticed the similarity between this brat and General Mu. “Young Commander Mu?”
“Young Commander Mu, Mu Sheng Xi, greeted Great General Nan.” Mu Sheng Xi quickly cupped his fist. In front of Old Master Nan, he didn’t dare to delay in the slightest bit and felt that there was a sense of pressure that was harder to face than his father.
The difference between Great General and General was truly not just one word.
“There’s no need to be so nervous. What brings you here today, Young Commander Mu?” Old Master Nan only have superficial relationship with General Mu. He didn’t understand why Mu Sheng Xi wanted to come and see him.
“Replying to Great General Nan, I come here and brought a letter from my father.” Mu Sheng Xi quickly took out a sealed bamboo tube.
Old Master Nan was surprised. “Thank you for delivering the letter. I heard that General Mu was injured heavily. How’s his condition recently?”
It was not a secret that several years ago General Mu was injured heavily and couldn’t go to the frontline anymore. Ever since then, General Mu had been staying inside Mu Family Residence and hadn’t been getting out again.
Since Old Master Nan was not close to General Mu, he had no intention of going there to pay a visit. Anyway, sending some things that were beneficial for his recovery was already more than enough.
“Father is getting better,” Mu Sheng Xi replied.
Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows but didn’t say anything else. He took the sealed bamboo tube and put it on the table. “Does your father wants me to write the reply on the spot?”
“My father said that there’s no need to give the reply.” Mu Sheng Xi cupped his fist. “Since the letter had been delivered, I will take my leave, Great General Nan.”
Old Master Nan looked at the two youths in front of him and waved his hand, signaling that they could leave. The two of them bid their farewell and walked out of the study room while Old Master Nan used a knife to pry open the seal.
After that, he took out the bamboo scroll inside and read the content.
His eyes flashed with cold light.
“Hou Lin.”
“Yes, Old Master?”
“Send a letter to General Long. There’s something that he had to know.” Old Master Nan sighed.
Things were indeed not easy during this time.
…
After the letter had been delivered, Nan Luo looked at Mu Sheng Xi curiously. “What letter did you bring to my grandfather?”
“I don’t know the content either.” Mu Sheng Xi shrugged. “My father sealed the letter, so I don’t know the content.”
“I see.”
Nan Luo felt that there might be some important information that he had missed, but he couldn’t think of anything for now. In any case, if his grandfather wanted to tell him, he will know eventually.
For now, it was time to think about another matter.
“Shall we have our spar?”
“Don’t you want to bring your Fourth Cousin along?”
“Ah, you’re right.”
Nan Luo was speechless. Why did he feel that Mu Sheng Xi didn’t actually want Mu Fei Jiu to watch their battle?
The two of them returned to where Mu Fei Jiu had been waiting and invited her to watch the short spar between Mu Sheng Xi and Nan Luo. She agreed since there was nothing that she could do here anyway.
Mu Family was also trying to get the pie of Yi City and Mu Fei Jiu came here to help a bit. Her uncle, General Mu, had long known this little girl’s little action and her act. That was why he felt that she was the most suitable to obtain more information without letting anyone else guessed.
They walked to the field and Xiao Yan sighed deeply. “Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
“Yes.”
“Start!”
The two sides were using real sword and charged forward at almost the same time. Mu Sheng Xi stepped forward first and then used his sword to slash in Nan Luo’s direction.
Clang!
Blocking the sword in time, Nan Luo swiftly moved to the side and attempted to hit Mu Sheng Xi stomach.𝒏𝓞𝑣𝓮𝓵𝑛𝑒xt.𝐂𝑜𝗆
Swish!
The sword only hit air.
Mu Sheng Xi was pleasantly surprised that Nan Luo’s reaction speed was quite fast, but he was quite happy. He moved his hand forward and thrusted towards Nan Luo’s direction.
Swish!
Evading to the side, Nan Luo could see the blade in front of his eyes. He quickly lowered his head as the sword was swung horizontally.
Clang! Clang!
The two of them continued to trade blows.
At the side, Nan Hua was watching their movements and her eyes narrowed. Even though Mu Sheng Xi looked like he was fighting with ease, she could see that his main weapon was not sword.
Some of his movements were a bit too big for sword.
‘Glaive?’
Thinking about how some generals would switch their weapon after they often fought on top of the horse, Nan Hua could guess that Mu Sheng Xi was also the same. He was switching to glaive, which affected the way he used the sword.
On top of the horse, a glaive would have further reach and could eliminate more soldiers. At this moment, Nan Hua was sure that this Mu Sheng Xi was the same as Nan Luo.
They were both aiming the seat of Great General.
But whether they could obtain it in the future would depend on their performance.
