Chapter 1501 Chi Family’s Strive

Nan Hua could feel her ears reddened from Long Qian Xing’s sweet words.

He was not the type to coax girls but his words were said from the bottom of his hearts. Perhaps, even Long Qian Xing himself didn’t know he could be so sweet when he was facing the person he cared so much.

After several more seconds, Long Qian Xing released Nan Hua from his embrace. He looked at the young woman’s face, which had a faint hue of red and a low chuckle came out of his lips.

It turns out, she can also be shy.

Seeing various sides of Nan Hua made Long Qian Xing felt really full and happy. He patted Nan Hua’s head. “Great General Wei and Emperor Yang Zhou will come tomorrow. He might ask to see you directly.”

Nan Hua thought about those two and nodded. “I know.”

“He might know your identity as my fiancée, so you have to be prepared.”

“Don’t worry.” Nan Hua tilted her head with a mischievous light in her eyes. “There will be an interesting play after war against Zhang Xu Kingdom is over.”

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. “You’re truly a confident one, huh?”

Nan Hua didn’t answer and turned around.

Watching the young woman for some time, Long Qian Xing laughed lightly. His little fiancée is really interesting.

…

<Long distance away from them, General Chi’s location at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>

The next day, the soldiers under Great General Wei and Emperor Yang Zhou finally came to the place where Long Qian Xing was located.

They were busy building the headquarter first.

Even with his wounded condition, General Chi still followed the army. He had lost an arm and lost a lot of blood, making him relatively weak. But even in this weaker condition, he didn’t lose the valiant disposition of a general.

Standing in front of his tent, General Chi looked at the distant city and sea of soldiers. They were approaching Prime Minister Lei and will have to fight against that damned prime minister again.

“General Chi.”

General Chi turned around and saw his nephew, Chi Tan Qiang, who followed him to the battlefield. He smiled warmly. “It’s been a while since you come to see me, Tan Qiang. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine,” Chi Tang Qiang replied calmly.

His position has never been high in the military and the soldiers under him were the soldiers that General Chi arranged for him. It was more or less because he was not capable enough and that there was also his cousin who used to be on the forefront, overshadowing him.

But now even without this cousin, he still couldn’t do much.

Chi Tan Qiang looked at his uncle in front of him. “Are you going to divide the soldiers, Uncle?”

General Chi arched his eyebrows. He was not used to his family members calling him with this intimate call when they were in the army. After all, everyone used to follow the rules so that they would not appear relatively strange in front of others.

“It will be better to be that way rather than repeating the same mistake with General Cao.”

Trusting one adjutant and it was that very adjutant who eventually destroyed the army.

General Chi had watched the soldiers under General Cao undergoing several interrogations to make sure that they were not part of Zhang Xu Kingdom. While these people had been released and allowed to participate in the army under him, he knew that these soldiers were not looked upon favorably.

It was because many others were suspicious of them.

They didn’t want to be associated with a person who came from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Thus, this was the very reason that General Chi would rather split his army and not forcefully promoting someone to lead the army.

At the very least, this would allow these soldiers to stay on the battlefield longer and continue to work hard and achieve their goal. They didn’t have to suffer from the discrimination just because of their origin.

“You care so much for the people in Fei Yang Kingdom, Uncle.”

General Chi looked at his nephew, who looked gloomy. They all came from Zhang Xu Kingdom after his lost back then. His family members didn’t have any place to stay in Zhang Xu Kingdom because they were not accepted.

Together, they all came to Fei Yang Kingdom, hoping for a better future.

But it was because of their origin that it was difficult for them to actually achieve something great without putting more effort.

The distrust towards people who came from outside was something that they could understand.

“Now, I’m part of Fei Yang Kingdom.”

“That’s what you said. But have you ever thought about your relatives?” Chi Tan Qiang raised his head, his eyes were a bit red.

General Chi frowned.

His relatives?

If he had to be honest, he rarely spent any time with his family members because he was busy at the frontline. As a general, he could rarely come back and his own son also followed him to the battlefield, making him feel that it was unnecessary for him to come back.

But it was also because of this that General Chi didn’t know much about what happened there.

“They’re adults and our families are basically separated. I don’t think I need to care too much?”

“Heh.” Chi Tan Qiang let out a faint laugh. “Everyone always said that you’re a good general.”

General Chi looked at his nephew, feeling that something was amiss.

“That we’re now part of Fei Yang Kingdom and that we have to do our best for this new kingdom.” Chi Tan Qiang raised his head. “But have you ever think that we’ve never wanted this? Have you ever thought that we’re actually part of Zhang Xu Kingdom?”

Swish!

“You…”

A bag of powder was tossed by Chi Tan Qiang before he stepped forward and raised his sword, stabbing General Chi in front of him.

Stab!
