Chapter 1713 A Short Birthday Interlude (2)
That was the main reason why the soldiers were pulled to the north. If they lose too much, it was inevitable that they would not be able to survive and had to face another bitter war with Fei Yang Kingdom again. When thinking through this line, it was indeed a bit saddening.
But…
With the relationship between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, it was estimated that the main reason why they attacked was also because of the poor relationship between the two kingdoms. After the assassination attempt that year, it was already impossible for Fan Yi Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom to shake hands with each other. In fact, it was already good enough that the two kingdoms didn’t go all out in war and deployed more soldiers to completely eliminate the other party.
“Even if they’re busy with other things, it’ll not stop me from avenging my revenge.” Long Qian Xing sneered.
They attacked because they wanted food.
And should they just give it to them because they needed it?
Dream!
It was their food and whatever they did with it was up to them and not what those people could control at all. Long Qian Xing had no intention to let other people bully them and steal what belonged to them.
Many of his soldiers had died and several villages were destroyed because of Fan Yi Kingdom.
How could Long Qian Xing stay idle?
Repaying grievances with virtue is too difficult and Long Qian Xing was not so kind to do this. At the very least, he wanted to land a good blow on that damn Song Yun Xiang’s head.
“En.” Nan Hua nodded.
She herself was not a kind person.
After having to face Song Yun Xiang in his annoying tactics again and again, how come she not thought about making trouble for the other party? When Long Qian Xing landed the swift blow, Nan Hua will definitely also make trouble.
“Well, the situation on the other frontline seems to be pretty good too.” Long Qian Xing switched the conversation and grinned. He received news from his father that their border with Shi Long Kingdom was also being attacked.
But with his father and the Shangguan Family along with another general at the south holding the front, Shi Long Kingdom basically couldn’t invade Fei Yang Kingdom.
“Are there any problems?” Nan Hua asked.
“My father is asking me to help reinforce the south.” Long Qian Xing thought of his father’s message. “He said that the general there is unreliable.”
Nan Hua: “…” saying that another general is unreliable so blatantly, it seems to be something that could be done by Long Qian Xing’s father.
“But I’m not going to move anytime soon.” Long Qian Xing shrugged. “If I keep on moving around after just a short few months, how am I going to strike a good achievement. It would look as if I’m running errand everywhere.”
Running errand everywhere?
Hearing Long Qian Xing’s words, Nan Hua’s lips curled up slightly in amusement.
Seeing Nan Hua’s smile, Long Qian Xing also smiled even brighter. He felt that seeing Nan Hua’s change of expression was very fun.
“Enough of the official matters for the time being.” Long Qian Xing grinned. “We can finally have an entire day for ourselves, how about having some fun, Hua’er?”
“What fun, Brother Long?” Nan Hua asked back.
The two of them were basically alone because Long Qian Xing had sent away those commanders below him away. Around this campfire, there were only him and Nan Hua who stayed beside him.
“Playing games.” Long Qian Xing grinned. “There’s no snow yet, but the temperature had dropped quite a lot. But there are still a few games that we can play together.”
“Yes?”
“There are a lot of good woods here, I’ll bring you to carve some interesting things.” Carving?
Thinking of Long Qian Xing’s exquisite carving that could definitely rival many masters, Nan Hua’s interest was piqued. Long Qian Xing didn’t only carve jade, but also wood as he had made one for Nan Hua when she was young back then. “I have collected a few good wood from this area.” Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. “Unfortunately, some of them are broken because of the battle in the forest not long ago.”
Nan Hua: “…”
With the intensity of the battles between Long Qian Xing and Song Yun Xiang, she would be more surprised if there were no casualties at all on the forest where they fought.
“Wait here.”
Long Qian Xing went to his tent and walked out carrying his carving equipment. There were several knives with specific requirement that he asked the blacksmith to make. Looking at the stack of knives with various shapes and edge, Nan Hua seemed to realize why Long Qian Xing looked for Blacksmith Duan in the first place. He was not only looking for that blacksmith to make weapon that fitted him well but also to make the necessary tools for crafting.
For some reasons, it felt as if Long Qian Xing’s real profession is that of a carver instead of a soldier.
“Here you go.” Long Qian Xing put a block of wood in front of Nan Hua and himself. There were also two sets of knives there. It seemed as if he was prepared to carve with Nan Hua when there was a chance.
Nan Hua looked at the block of wood in front of her. “What do you want me to make, Brother Long?”
“You can make anything you want.” Long Qian Xing subconsciously touched the pig necklace around his neck and was painfully reminded that his zodiac changed when he came to this world.
He remembered that he wanted to ask Nan Hua to make a dog shaped jade for him.
But…
He didn’t prepare the necessary jade when he went to the frontline. There was no way he could expect for Nan Hua to make it now.
How about wooden dog carving?
Long Qian Xing felt a bit tangled about this problem right now.
