Chapter 178 - Worried
Nan Luo opened his mouth, wanting to refute. However, he soon realized that no words could possibly explain this matter.
He felt a bit loss.
"Couldn't His Majesty just put him down?" Feng Ao Si asked in confusion.
"He can." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother. "But after that, there's a high chance that there'll be rebellions and some internal war. Afterwards, the other kingdoms nearby will surely launch an attack towards Fei Yang Kingdom in an attempt to gain the territory. Do you think that they're stupid enough to pass this kind of chance?"
Hearing that, Feng Ao Si was speechless.
Forget he said anything.
If they were in peaceful times, having a rebellion was nothing much. They should be able to handle it with their military power. But since they were in the middle of war states, it would be impossible for them to ignore this matter.
Should a rebellion break out, it would be hard to ignore by other kingdoms.
Fei Yang Kingdom had been gaining some advantage during Emperor Huan's reign. If Emperor Yang Zhou was not careful enough and instigated internal war, it was clear that they would be doomed.
Doomed to die.
And Fei Yang Kingdom would never be in advantageous position ever again.
"Ah Si, Ah Luo, you two have to remember that politics and military are connected to each other." Nan Si Qiao patted their head and sighed softly. She didn't actually want them to know so much and worried excessively, but if things really turn to the worse, they had to know.
After all, it would involve their future.
Feng Ao Si nodded. "Don't worry, Mother. I'll protect you well."
"I don't need you to protect me." Nan Si Qiao was amused when she heard what her son was saying.
Nan Luo pursed his lips. "I don't really like that guy. If he dared to mess with Grandfather, I won't let him off."
At this time, Nan Hua was still silent. She had been thinking about Prime Minister Bei and his movement in the novel. At that time Emperor Yang Zhou allowed him to roam around and Long Qian Xing didn't know much.
After all, Long Qian Xing would be involved in wars soon enough.
…Why was it that she always lacked information in everything that was related to her and her family?
She had to ask those from Dark Moon Organization to begin gathering information faster. Even if there wouldn't be anything that happen anytime soon, she would start her preparation.
"Would he really target the Nan Family?" Nan Luo asked once more.
Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm not very clear about the current situation of the court. However, I don't think he would have that much time to care for our family unless there would be a big war that would happen soon."
"A big war?" Feng Ao Si's eyes widened. "Would it be like in the past again?"
There was once a big war a few years ago that was called as the Battle of the High Pass. It was the battle where Great General Long fell on the battle in order to protect the kingdom. At this point of time, no one dared to forget about that battle.
That was the greatest battle in the entire Emperor Xuan's reign and also one that nearly threatened Fei Yang Kingdom's safety. There were several hundred thousand soldiers who came to attack them, nearly making it an all out war.
The one in charge of that area was Old General Long.
Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. How could he possibly forget about this battle? Whenever his grandfather got drunk, he would tell and lament about this matter. The battle that took the life of his best friend.
"The Battle of the High Pass?"
"Yeah. At that time the other kingdoms are collaborating to eliminate Fei Yang Kingdom, right?" Feng Ao Si asked.
Nan Luo nodded. During the time when the High Pass was attacked, another kingdom also attacked the other border of Fei Yang Kingdom, stopping Old General Shangguan from sending reinforcement.
It was because of this unfortunate incident that Fei Yang Kingdom lost Old General Long.
"There shouldn't be any like that." Feng Ao Kuai's lips twitched. Did Nan Luo and his older brother really think that the other kingdoms were all having too much time in their hand? To order such a large army to attack would require time and enough preparation.
They couldn't just give the order out of the blue.
Not to mention, they had to be careful of other kingdoms nearby that might attack them during the time they launched an attack. Unless they could ensure the safety on all directions, there was no way they would launch such a large scale attack.
Small skirmish was a bit different, though.
"Oh."
Nan Si Qiao's lips twitched. She felt that her children, niece, and nephew really shouldn't be staying here and talked about these matter.
"Let's eat first while we wait for Father, alright?"
"Yes, Aunt (Mother)."
They all sat down in the dining room to eat. However, the tense atmosphere clearly told other people who were here that they were not really feeling energetic. They didn't want to eat. It was a bit too much for them to eat right now.
They were worried.
Old Master Nan returned when they were almost finished eating. His face was slightly pale and the others immediately sensed that there was something amiss.
"Grandfather, are you alright?" Nan Luo hurriedly stood up and stayed near Old Master Nan.
Nan Si Qiao was not any slower as she propped her father. As her hand come into contact with Old Master Nan's hand, she definitely could sense that her father's body temperature was not normal.
Her face changed.
"Call doctor now! Help me bring Father to the room inside."
"I'm fine." Old Master Nan tried to shrug Nan Si Qiao but he felt a bit dizzy. His old age really didn't allow him to do many activities anymore. It was weird for him since he was fine just a moment ago.
Nan Si Qiao furrowed her eyebrows then turned to look at Nan Luo. "Call Old Madam Long here. Ask her to come covertly!"
"Yes."
Old Madam Long?
