Novel Full Chapter 2204: Waiting
Chapter 2204: Waiting
Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua looked at each other for a moment.
“What reward do you want?”
Long Qian Xing smiled and looked at the bamboo scroll in his hand first. This was the training and recruitment report for the soldiers under his army.
Because he had lost so many people, he had to recruit a lot of soldiers.
But after that, these soldiers also needed training.
If they wanted to participate in the big war between Fei Yang Kingdom and the other two kingdoms in the future, they couldn’t be the freshly recruited soldiers. Most of the time, those kind of soldiers would end up being the cannon fodder and couldn’t even survive a day. The confrontation later would be cruel.
“You can ask for anything,” Long Qian Xing added as he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes at Long Qian Xing’s words.
When they set up the small and simple competition not long ago, they didn’t really specify what kind of reward they wanted from the other party. It was also not very important as they were only competing for fun.
“I can’t really think of anything,” Nan Hua replied.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and chuckled. “Then, you can think first.”
Nan Hua nodded and looked at the pot in front of her. It would take some time before this soup was done.
–
<Lou’s side>
After delivering the message to Long Qian Xing, Lou naturally left. He had no interest to wait there where Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were being together. After all, the two of them didn’t like being spied on.
Except if the person who did it was Long Ai Ning.
Walking through the back area, he found Chu Yue, who had just finished giving instruction to some of the other servants.
As one of Nan Hua’s maidservants, Chu Yue’s status was the highest among the maidservants along with the other three. They all accompanied Nan Hua and the matter of the backyard was also entrusted to them by Nan Hua to a certain degree.
Of course, they would never act outside Nan Hua’s order and everything had to depend on what Nan Hua herself wanted.
The four of them were very clear about this.
Nan Hua might not care too much about their little movements if they wanted to establish their position, but they had to be careful. Because if they overdo it, then Nan Hua would not let them off.
“Chu Yue,” Lou called out.
Chu Yue had already finished her instruction and planned to go back and rest. Hearing the call, she turned around and blinked her eyes. “Lou, you’re here?”
After they return to Long Family Residence, Lou rarely appeared because of the task given to him by Long Qian Xing. He would mainly stay in the shadow and then came out only when he was needed to.
Besides, there were also things that Long Qian Xing asked him to do outside of the Long Family Residence.
In this way, Chu Yue hadn’t seen Lou for quite some time.
“I have some tasks here today,” Lou replied with a shrug. He didn’t have much opinion about his task. As long as Long Qian Xing ordered it, he was even willing to give up his life for his Master.
Because this is his task and also his duty.
Chu Yue nodded. “I see.”
She didn’t know what Lou was doing and had no interest to ask either. After all, they all have different position and different task. There was no need for her to pry to what other people were doing when it had nothing to do with her.
Not to mention, some of the tasks could be considered confidential.
It would be better for Chu Yue not to know rather than knowing these things.
“Shall I walk you back?” Lou asked with a smile on his face.
Walk her back?
Chu Yue was stunned and then laughed. “We’re not on the frontline anymore, Lou. Besides, when we were there, our task is mostly to stay on the back and there’s not much danger
there.”
The two of them were often tasked to manage the supplies and it had nothing to do with fighting. But if they were asked to fight, they could also do it.
For them, it was quite common.
“I just thought that you might want it,” Lou replied.
Chu Yue smiled and then pointed in the direction of the kitchen. “Did Ai Ning do something? I can hear her voice even from a far.”
As Nan Hua’s maidservants, Chu Yue naturally knew that Nan Hua went to the kitchen with Long Qian Xing. She wanted to cook with her husband and what Chu Yue could do was to leave it be and did other things that she had to do here.
In fact, there were not many things to do.
Most of the odd jobs would be taken by the other maidservants and even those that were lower. She herself had nothing to do with this and would mostly supervise their work from
time to time.
This time, it was not her turn, so Chu Yue only needed to give instruction for these maidservants.
“You can hear it?” Lou arched his eyebrows.
Then again, Long Ai Ning didn’t really control her volume when she was yelling at Nan Si not long ago. Considering that there were many people with high martial arts here… Lou felt that many of them should have known about this matter.
Thinking about it from another side, Long Xu might also end up hearing about this matter.
Oh, there might be a good show to watch.
Lou smirked and then pointed in one direction. “Shall we go there while I told you what
happened?”
“There?” Chu Yue frowned. “It’s the training area?”
“Long Xu should be there,” Lou replied.
Unlike Lou who stayed in the shadow, Long Xu formally held the position of a commander and
also Long Qian Xing’s adjutant. Because of this, Long Xu often busy with various matters and the recruitment was also handed to him.
