Chapter 1628 A Different Route
Old Master Nan sighed deeply.
After Nan Hua left, Nan Si Qiao walked inside and looked at her father. “Father, Hua’er left a message to me, telling me to remind you to take medicine in time.”
Old Master Nan’s face turned black. “I know, I’ll drink it.”
“Father, she empathized that I have to see you drink it personally.” Nan Si Qiao looked at her father in amusement.
Thinking of that black and extremely bitter medicine, Old Master Nan felt that his future was bleak. He had a doctor who followed him to monitor his condition, but he always hated drinking medicine the most.
When he was young, it was fine for him not to drink some medicine because he could recover in time. But now that he was already old, he had to take care of his body more because it was harder for him to recover on his own without the help of medicine.
There was no need to toss his body so much.
“I’ll be going to the frontline, so…”
“So I’ll ask for Hou Lin to remind you.” Nan Si Qiao smiled brightly. “Father, you’re not going to make me worried, would you?”
Old Master Nan looked at his daughter and looked away once again. He felt that his daughter was truly annoying this time.
Even though he knew that she only cared for him, he really didn’t need this attention…
…
After Nan Hua paid a visit to her grandfather, she made her way to Feng Family Residence. Aside from asking her aunt to take care of her grandfather and supervise his medicine drinking, she wanted to see her cousin.
Feng Ao Kuai has been busy in his residence lately.
He was reviewing various matters about the politics, rules, and many others. Over the years when he was fighting on the frontline, there were many changes in the Capital City. Changes that he had to remember and put into his mind.
Old Master Nan had asked for some of his old friends to send teacher to help Feng Ao Kuai.
Thus, this young man nearly didn’t have any free time.
He had to put all the knowledge that was poured to him into his mind and heart.
Moreover, the expansion of Fei Yang Kingdom had caused a lot of additional matters to be taken to the court. The new cities’ official, the routes, and many others. Everything was done while they were still waging war.
Because Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t want to put the needs of the people behind.
While it might not be able to catch up completely, but it would be good to be able to help the citizen better.
“The situation is a bit delicate in which you have to remember the needs of the nobles. Some people have a lot of territory and their own areas that they would not want others to take charge. If you were to cross this line, it’s estimated that they would not be willing to work together with you…”
Nan Hua slipped into the room and saw Feng Ao Kuai was being taught by an old man. He was one of the few friends of Old Master Nan who has good foundation and able to teach Feng Ao Kuai.
In terms of knowledge, Feng Ao Kuai was actually very smart and had a solid foundation.
When he was young, he was basically the best in terms of memorization and also to think about how to solve the problem. He was used to use his brain a lot, allowing him to be able to turn the tide in war using his brain and using the least resources.
But in the end, it was not enough.
The foundation of his army was not stable enough that in the end, he suffered a lot of losses in the big war. The number of soldiers under him were decreasing again and again with the increase of battles.
He tried to recruit more soldiers.
But they couldn’t catch up with the old recruits.
And looking at the situation of the frontline, Fei Yang Kingdom has the advantage over other kingdoms. They have been busy strengthening themselves ever since decades ago.
For years, countless policies were made in order to help Fei Yang Kingdom grew.
The result was that in Emperor Yang Zhou’s era, many things were ready and a lot of soldiers were deployed to the frontline, ready to fight and defend their kingdom.
So, Feng Ao Kuai decided to pick a different route.
A route that would allow him to last longer in the position of power and to make a good use of his talent.
“I’ll give you half an incense stick of time to have a break.” The old teacher nodded at Feng Ao Kuai, feeling very satisfied with this student. Feng Ao Kuai is indeed the best student he had ever taught.
“Thank you, Teacher.” Feng Ao Kuai stood up and cupped his fist politely.
His gesture and demeanor had slowly changed to how it used to be when he was studying in the academy, even if his study back then was only for a short period of time. He was gentle, polite, and proper.
Everything was done in accordance to the etiquette, as if he was a born scholar and was not a former commander.
After all, in the eyes of many people, scholars and soldiers were the polar opposite.
One was gentle and refined, the other was rough and brash.
But Feng Ao Kuai seemed to be able to switch his temperament in accordance to the needs. Coupled with his own relatively slender physique, it was hard to see him as a rough man who fought on the frontline.
The teacher nodded and walked away.
Feng Ao Kuai sat back down and took a deep breath. He rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the large amount of information that was poured into his head.
Tep.
Nan Hua landed in front of Feng Ao Kuai.
