“You can ask for permission to speak. You’re already a 2000 men commander and no longer a small fry on the battlefield.” Nan Hua felt that there was nothing wrong with Feng Ao Kuai requesting to speak. If his ideas were good, it could help them greatly in the next war.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. “I want to discuss with you first.”

“Sure.”

With that, the two of them returned to the inn where they discuss the strategy for a long time before they went to rest. As for why it took a long time, it was because Nan Hua proposed several adjustments with the consideration of who would be deployed and also the specific terrains.

The ideas were good that Feng Ao Kuai almost couldn’t stop the discussion.

Thus, when Feng Ao Si and Nan Luo arrived in Three Point Cities the next day, what they saw was the sight of Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua who were discussing about strategy. They discussed the use of the forest, oil, and even to the point of the rivers too.

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si. “I feel that my presence is superfluous here.”

“…Same.”

Feng Ao Si felt so stupid looking at his younger brother was talking about things he couldn’t understand. There were times when he wondered why the Heaven was so kind to his younger brother and gave him such a good brain. But on another thought, Feng Ao Si felt that he wouldn’t be able to make a good use of such brain either.

He felt that it would be too tiring and just smashing upfront with his fist was already more than enough.

That way, he didn’t have to think too much about it.

“Oh, you’re here, Brother Si.” Feng Ao Kuai finally noticed his older brother. “I’m only discussing some matters. Have General Xing arrived?”

“Yes, General Xing arrived earlier than us. He’s asking everyone to gather after dinner to discuss tomorrow’s march to war.”

Since they were planning to be the attacker, they would naturally not start the war immediately in the Three Point Cities. Instead, they were going to smash their way through towards the plains and pushed those from Zhang Xu Kingdom back as much as possible.

“Ok.” Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua and his gaze softened a bit. “I hope you have been well, Nan.”

“I’m good, Luo.” Nan Hua nodded at her twin brother and tilted her head. “You haven’t been doing much for the past few months.”

“…I’m doing my task.”

“You don’t look much different.”

“How different do I have to be after just a few months?” Nan Luo laughed lightly. He turned to look at the other two. “Also, your wedding need to be postponed, Brother Si.”

Feng Ao Si’s marriage was originally planned to be in Spring. But now that they were going for a large war against Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was highly impossible for Feng Ao Si to ask for a leave easily.

As a 3000 men commander, it was clear that he would have more roles to play on the frontline instead of just being the small helpers. The higher the rank, the more responsibility one had to shoulder.

“I know, I already send a letter to my mother and Rou’er. They expressed their understanding because they know about the war and the fact that it’s not easy for Fei Yang Kingdom to obtain such a rare chance like this.” Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head.

“Rou’er?” Feng Ao Kuai keenly noticed his older brother’s address. He looked at Feng Ao Si and silently wondered how many times this older brother of his had actually sneaked out to pay a visit to that village.

The areas where Feng Ao Si was stationed had been changing rapidly. After all, he was the aggressive type and could easily respond to any areas that required him.

“Ah yes…” Feng Ao Si’s face turned red.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes and turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. The latter also looked in his direction.

It seemed that their older brother (cousin) had changed.

“I didn’t expect Brother Si to grow up so quickly.” Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his chin. The marriage matter didn’t seem to be that bad anymore in his eyes. If it could help Feng Ao Si to grow up faster, that would be really good.

“Technically he’s the oldest, but he’s the one who stay childish the longest.” Nan Luo also nodded his head in agreement.

Feng Ao Si: “…” I can hear you all just right. Also, what do you mean by childish? You are also childish, Luo!

While Feng Ao Si was roaring inside his mind, he didn’t dare to speak those words out loud because he knew that it would be useless to argue with his younger brother and younger cousin.

These two could twist their words and make him at loss for words.

“Are you not going to tell him ever?” Nan Hua interrupted from the side.

“I’ll let him find out about it by himself.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. “Anyway, with his current brain, I estimated that it will take a long time for him to notice.”

“He might have some clues, but he couldn’t connect it himself.” Nan Luo recalled Feng Ao Si’s expression back then. But then again, he didn’t want to put too high of an expectation towards his older cousin.

He would only end up being disappointed.

Feng Ao Si was confused.

“What are you talking about?”

“Something that you probably wouldn’t notice for a long period of time.” Feng Ao Kuai sighed. “Let’s go. I need to have some talk with General Chi and General Xing.”

“Ah, ok. I’ll follow you.”

“Yeah, me too.”

Nan Hua watched the three of them walked and silently followed from the back. She had no intention to shine with her current identity.

But for this war…

She will help as much as possible to reduce the casualties that could occur.
