Chapter 979: Promise
Chapter 979: Promise
The battle ended when it was night time.Nan Luo dragged his tired body back to the camp. This was the first time he experienced being targeted so specifically like that, but it also showed that the enemy was taking him seriously.
If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have arranged so much just to try eliminating him.
“Luo.”
“Cousin Ao Kuai?” Nan Luo greeted back. “Is there anything wrong?”
“I’m stationed to be under you for the time being.” Feng Ao Kuai had a complicated look in his face. He had heard of Nan Luo’s overwhelming victory in that small area of the battle. Even though it was just a small portion of the battle, it had showed that Nan Luo had what it takes to lead the soldiers.
However, General Wei was not a person who would easily give promotion.
Nan Luo’s eyes lit up. “Hehehe, that means I’ll be your temporary commander, right? It seems that I’ll be reaching 1000 men commander faster than you~.”
Feng Ao Kuai only stared at Nan Luo with a dark expression. He felt his fingers itched a bit to beat up his cousin. To think that Nan Luo’s fighting style would instead prompt him to be promoted earlier…
And this young man even looked so smug.
“There’s no telling which one among us who will be the general first.” Feng Ao Kuai snorted.
Nan Luo sniggered. “Don’t worry, I’ll be taking care of you well for the next few days.”
Feng Ao Kuai’s face darkened.

In the end, he kicked Nan Luo and the two of them wrestled against each other for a while. They were only messing around and would naturally would not truly hurt the other party for real.
Xiao Yan watched the two of them.
They were no longer children, but it was clear that the two of them still acted like one.
He could only sigh and waited for them to finish.
Bang!
“You won’t be able to defeat me now.” Nan Luo grinned after he threw Feng Ao Kuai off. He had been training hard to increase his strength and overall physique.
By now, Feng Ao Kuai was basically not his match anymore.
“Indeed.”
Feng Ao Kuai stood up and dusted his clothes. He could clearly feel the difference in strength between the two of them. There was no way he would be able to defeat Nan Luo in a frontal battle anymore.
But, was there any need for that?
“If I can’t defeat you in frontal battle anymore, it just meant that I have to defeat you through another method.” Feng Ao Kuai showed a dark smile.
Nan Luo’s heart thumped when he saw that. For some reason, he had a foreboding when he saw that.
Feng Ao Kuai might even take his revenge in other methods later…
Not wanting to dwell on this matter, Nan Luo quickly waved his hand. “Go and have some rest. I’m still at the frontline tomorrow. You do have some soldiers to have close combat, right?”
“Yes, I can arrange it.”
“Good.”
The two of them didn’t talk more and returned to their respective tent. However, Nan Luo knew very well that the petty Feng Ao Kuai would surely prank him later…
There was no way his cousin would want to swallow Nan Luo’s taunt without paying him back.
“Xiao Yan, get me some salve.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Nan Luo stretched his hand. There were some wounds when he was fighting against those Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers that he hadn’t treated yet. He looked at his hand and sighed faintly.
‘Hua’er, when we meet each other again, I’ll be someone you can depend on. I promise on this.’
Even though Nan Hua didn’t tell Nan Luo about her plan, he had guessed that the next time they met would at least be after a few months. She had her plan that she had to finish no matter what and Nan Luo wouldn’t hinder her movement at all.
He will support Nan Hua.
At all cost.
…
The two of them tried to launch another attack on the day before Great General Ji’s arrival, but their attempt was thwarted once more.
Nan Hua could only choose to retreat for the time being and collected the information her subordinate had collected during winter. Aside from the fact that General Wei managed to sneak through the gap and took control of one city, there were also reports of the other young commanders.
Nan Hua only skimmed through them briefly as she was not interested in either one of their progress. If it didn’t involve her cousins or twin brother, she didn’t place much importance on them.
She also heard that Prime Minister Lei was arriving to face General Wei.
It wouldn’t be an easy battle for them.
“Are you worrying for your family members?” Yu Jin asked curiously when she saw Nan Hua was in contemplative state.
Nan Hua nodded. It was dawn and the soldiers were preparing for battle while Nan Hua was drinking a warm soup as her breakfast. She couldn’t possibly escape breakfast if she still wanted to have proper battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Yu Jin arched her eyebrows. “I honestly don’t know who your family members are since I don’t recall anyone with the surname Jun being famous. However, if you’re so worried about them, you can pay them a visit first.”
“There’s no need.”
Nan Hua didn’t want to cause more trouble for Yu Jin. With her appearance, it would be easier for Yu Jin to deal with Great General Ji. If she was not here, she knew that Yu Jin would be overwhelmed and eventually pushed back.
She had to enter a place in Zhang Xu Kingdom before the time was up.
If she was too late, the chance would disappear.
But Nan Hua couldn’t be impatient. If she were to show any sign of impatience, she knew that it would only strike her doom.
