Chapter 292 – Reunion
From the other direction, General Feng led his soldiers into Wind City. The number of soldier he brought was not small but it was not too big either. They would be in charge of protecting Princess Yue when she departed from Wind City in a week's time.
"General!"
The soldiers all bowed when they saw General Feng arrived. Neither a single one of them dared to move when their general passed by.
Nan Hua and the others had climbed down the stairs. Looking at the scene from a distance away, Nan Hua could sense the reverence and pride the soldiers had when they were addressing General Feng.
It was clear, in Wind City, General Feng's status was not one that could be matched by anyone.
Even if Feng Family was a messy family, the people always looked at the soldiers, especially General Feng with reverence and pride. Why? There was no other reason than that they have won all the battles they fought so far because of General Feng's existences.
"Someday, I'll be in that position," Feng Ao Si muttered silently, his eyes burning with passion.
Feng Ao Kuai said nothing and walked to the front in order to welcome his father back. Even though he looked indifferent, there was determination and pride within his eyes that he failed to conceal.
"When Grandfather return to the Capital City, it's even grander than this." Nan Luo pursed his lips.
Feng Ao Si was speechless. "Don't compare Father with Grandfather."
There was simply no comparison between them.
Even though General Feng was amazing in the battlefield and had scored countless victory, he was nothing in front of a great general like Great General Nan. Trying to compare them would be an utter embarrassment for General Feng because his result could never be compared to his father in law.
"Father," Feng Ao Kuai called out.
General Feng had just finished greeting the soldiers and arranging for their work when he heard his son's voice. He turned his head around and smiled brightly. "Are you missing me, Brats?"
"Her Highness will arrive in a week's time. There's not enough time to sweep the entire city if you don't hurry, Father." Feng Ao Kuai's expression was serious.
General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, felt like he was splashed with cold water when he heard his son's solemn response. As expected, his son really knew nothing aside from war and others. Trying to make his son said that he missed him would be the most difficult thing to do in the entire world.
"Alright, alright, I'll get to work after New Year's Celebration." General Feng was amused. "Do you really think that the Emperor will let his sister celebrate the New Year outside the Capital City when they have to pamper the guest?"
Feng Ao Kuai was surprised. "It's still more than 15 days?"
New Year Celebration lasted for 15 days with the fifteenth day was called as Lantern Festival. He thought that they would be busy because their New Year Celebration would be halted, but it seemed that he guessed wrongly.
Feng Qian Shao laughed. "Yes. I received the recent message saying that Princess Yue begged for the slight delay in order to experience her last New Year Celebration."
Thinking about that message, Feng Qian Shao couldn't help but sigh silently. Back when Emperor Xuan was still on the throne, he doted on his daughter very much and gave her almost everything she wanted. Unfortunately, he passed away before she came of age.
Thus, the one in charge of her marriage was the Empress Dowager and also the ministers.
It was unknown whether the Emperor even agreed or not considering that the highest power was in the hand of the Empress Dowager.
"That's good, but you will still be busy, Father."
"I know. Where's your brother and cousins?"
Feng Ao Kuai turned his head to the back and saw that the others were still walking in slow pace towards them. They didn't seem to be very enthusiastic. At least, compared to him who sped up faster.
He pursed his lips at that thought.
"Father," Feng Ao Si greeted. "Grandfather is already waiting for you in the Study. He wishes that you can share the recent news of the frontline."
"And that's exactly what I'll do." Feng Qian Shao laughed faintly. He then passed a look at his nephew and niece.
"Uncle Feng."
"Hua'er, why are you out here? Even though the rules are not as strict as the one in the Capital City, it's still not good for you to come out like this," Feng Qian Shao chided the young girl.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Right, she always went out secretly most of the time because it would be problematic if her real identity as First Young Miss Nan was known to outsider. But since she was going out with her twin brother and cousins, she hadn't think too much about it.
"Veil, Hua'er." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head.
"Oh."
Nan Hua touched her face then nodded. She would remember to wear one in the future. Does she already at the age where she had to wear a veil whenever she came out? She was only 10 years old.
While Nan Hua was contemplating about the veil, the group go back to Feng Family Residence.
Feng Qian Shao also heard about Feng Mo Xing and felt speechless when he found out that his sons chose to ignore their cousin. "Mo Xing is already very pitiful for losing his mother at young age. Can't you at least befriend him?"
Feng Ao Si looked at his father. "He'll say that I bully him if I play with him."
"Feng Mo Xing didn't like to play Go," Feng Ao Kuai added. In his opinion, the game that could be played should only be Go.
Nan Luo blinked his eyes. "He's too weak when sparring."
Lastly, Nan Hua merely looked at General Feng without answering. How could she play with him when there was rule that men and women were not allowed to get close to each other?
That was just an excuse, though. She was actually too busy.
General Feng (Feng Qian Shao): "…"
