Chapter 1102 Hard to Deal With
10,000 was not a small number.
At the very least, General Cao knew that normally, it would be impossible for so many people to die so easily just because of an avalanche. Just how many people were staying in that Thunder Valley to be able to cause so much casualties?
He looked at Feng Ao Kuai, who seemed to not have any intention to report more about the cause and effect of the avalanche.
But he had the feeling that this young man knew more about that avalanche.
Did he predict it?
But no matter how he did it, to be able to lure more 10,000 soldiers with nothing more than 4,000 soldiers were already a feat. It was a battle where they had the disadvantages in number.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was actually an achievement.
Yet, Feng Ao Kuai seemed to be saying that the avalanche was nothing more than an 'accident' that occurred when they were 'coincidentally' there with so many of their opponents nearby.
"That's a great news, Second Young Commander Feng." General Cao smiled.
Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist. "It's the Heaven's Will that allowed us to survive, General Cao. However, we still couldn't fully escape the disaster, which is why I can only send them towards Han Yue City first."
General Cao waved his hand. "I won't blame you for this. It's not your fault that your soldiers are caught in the natural disaster. Until your soldiers are healed, you're allowed to stay there."
"Many thanks for General Cao's kind words." Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist.
"Is there anything else?"
"This one would like to ask about our deployment situation after this. Would we still return to Thunder Valley?" Feng Ao Kuai asked calmly, his eyes were staring straight at General Cao without any fear or nervousness within.
"That will be decided later." General Cao waved his hand.
"That's all."
"You can leave."
Feng Ao Kuai turned around and left. His eyes glinted when he thought about the answer that General Cao provided to him. With the way General Cao easily sent reinforcement, he knew very well that there was no way that General Cao was lacking people anywhere in this area.
It meant that there were only two possibilities left.
One, there was someone purposely blocked the message.
Two, General Cao simply didn't want to send any reinforcement because of some reasons he was against them.
'I'll think about it later.'
General Cao watched as Feng Ao Kuai left and took a deep breath. Being looked at Feng Ao Kuai, he felt as if the young man was actually evaluating him. It was a faint feeling that he felt whenever he met with some powerful people like Great General Nan or General Wei.
These two people could give people a sense of oppression even though they were only looking in his direction.
It was both strange and nerve-wracking.
And now, facing a young commander who was still wet in his ears, General Cao also felt some nervousness.
"Truly deserve to be the son of a general." General Cao scoffed and looked at the map on his table. His eyes narrowed. "Dealing with people like this is really not easy."
There were many people who didn't like to use their brain too much.
Dealing with these kinds of people were the easiest as they could fool them easily.
But there were also those who liked to use their brain too much. When it came to deal with these kinds of people, they were not allowed to make even the slightest bit of mistake as it would make the other party noticed anything strange.
It was much harder to deal with them.
Thud!
"Young Master, please eat something first." Si Kang quickly stepped forward and handed the food in his hand.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded and began to eat. He motioned with his hand for Si Kang to start a smoke signal.
"Would it be fine to do it here, Young Master?" Si Kang was worried.
"Yes."
Even if General Cao came to see him because of his action, Feng Ao Kuai was not worried at all. He had his own way to deal with General Cao. Besides, he still didn't fully trust this general just yet.
While he knew that it might just be his mind being too paranoid, Feng Ao Kuai still believed that it would be better for him to be careful rather than sorry. Since that was the case, he would just do what he had planned on doing before.
"I'll do it, Young Master."
Feng Ao Kuai sat silently while Si Kang sent the smoke signal.
At a distance not far from them, General Cao saw it, but he turned a blind eye to it. His background was insufficient to deal with Feng Ao Kuai directly even if he wanted to. Besides, he didn't even know what that smoke signal for.
It was very easy for Feng Ao Kuai to lie to him.
'These kinds of people are really…'
General Cao could only sigh and focused on doing his own work.
…
<Long distance away, Nan Luo's Side>
The distance between Thunder Valley and Han Yue City was not that far. While they were pacing their horse, it was possible to reach the place within half a day at most, so Nan Luo was pacing his horse as quickly as possible.
He tried to keep his left hand stable as he hugged Nan Hua in his arm.
The soldiers didn't really think that it was anything weird. Many of them were also riding horse with the wounded soldiers. Some of them had been treated, but it was nothing more than first aid.
They needed the doctors.
"Hua'er, are you alright?" Nan Luo asked in a low voice. He could sense that Nan Hua's breathing slightly disturbed just now.
"I'm fine." Nan Hua opened her eyes. Her pitch black obsidian pupils were staring at Nan Luo. "I can treat myself when I feel a bit better, Luo."
