Chapter 882: The Young Commanders
Feng Ao Kuai’s face darkened.
Nan Luo glanced to the side and saw Feng Ao Si running in their direction. His lips twitched when he saw that Feng Ao Si was wearing a sleeveless robe.
No wonder that Feng Ao Kuai said that he was getting more similar to Feng Ao Si.
This idiot wore such thin clothes during winter?
Behind Feng Ao Si, Dai was following with a poker expression. It seemed that after staying with Feng Ao Si for such a long time, he had long given up on correcting Feng Ao Si’s brain and way of thinking.
“We’re tasked to come here,” Nan Luo replied.
“In that case, you’ll be under me!” Feng Ao Si puffed up his chest proudly.
Both Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo gave him a sidelong glance.
Under Feng Ao Si?
In his dream!
“You’re only 2000 men commander, Brother Ao Si. We’re both already 500 men commander each. If you can get the permission to have us under your wing, that will be quite difficult. The most that can happen is that all of us are under the same area.”
Nan Luo nodded. “Grandfather will not let us to be under you, Cousin Ao Si. There’s no way that he’ll want to have the two of us sent to our doom under your lead.”
Feng Ao Si was speechless.
Dai merely nodded and sighed. It was already hard enough for Feng Ao Si to be the proper leader for 2000 men. If he had to add another thousand to command… he was sure that Feng Ao Si wouldn’t be able to cope up.
Even though Feng Ao Si himself was not a bad person, his capability in leading the soldiers is still very lacking.
It would be better for him not to shame himself.
“Do you know who else will come here from the young commanders?” Nan Luo asked curiously. From what he knew, there were several rising new commanders in Fei Yang Kingdom including himself.
Some of them should be deployed here.
“On the way here, I bumped with 4000 men commander Chi Song Lian and 4000 men commander Long Qian Xing.” Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. “Since their fathers are here, they should participate too.”
“General Chi is really here?” Nan Luo was surprised.
“Since there are several important people, it seems that Fei Yang Kingdom intends to finish the battle quickly.” Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes.
He had already investigated the generals and knew very well that against Wei Da Kingdom… sending three generals were overkill. It could only mean that they wanted to end the battle as fast as possible.
As for the reason?
Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Xia Mountains in front of him as the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. Those scheming b*stards were aiming for these areas. As long as they could control the areas around Xia Mountains, they would have more say when facing with the mountain tribes and Dark Moon Organization.
However, the entire Xia Mountains itself were very large.
It would take a long time for them to completely control the entirety of the mountains if they really wanted to.
“He really have high ambition,” Feng Ao Kuai murmured.
“Who?”
“The person at the top of the seat.” Feng Ao Kuai passed a glance at Nan Luo but didn’t elaborate. Even if he partially understood the ambitions and goal of that person, he could never leak it out to anyone.
In fact, it was not like he was the only one who knew.
Those who knew how to use their brains properly and had sufficient knowledge over the politics in Fei Yang Kingdom would also be able to guess it as well.
“Let’s see the other young commanders.”
“Ok.”
The three of them headed to the middle area where the commanders gathered before the briefing. It was then Nan Luo realized that there were not only Chi Song Lian and Long Qian Xing but also an unfamiliar young man.
The young man didn’t look much older than Long Qian Xing, but he had stern expression. His features were quite defined and seemed to have been tempered on the battlefield for a long time. At the same time, he gave off the aura that would make people stay away from him.
“Young Commander Mu,” Feng Ao Kuai greeted after he had greeted the other two.
The young man furrowed his eyebrows and nodded indifferently.
Young Commander Mu, Mu Sheng Xi, was a 3000 men commander and also a promising new young commander. He was usually stationed at the west but after his father was declared to no longer be able to lead, he was moved to the east area.
He came to the battlefield in order to be able to replace his father when the latter was too old. Unfortunately, his father fell faster than his growth. He was not suitable to become a general.
The position ended up falling to General Cao’s hand.
This was what caused the Mu Family to be frustrated back then. They didn’t want to let other people take that position. However, General Mu chose to separate himself from his family when he saw their real color.
He and his children walked away from Mu Family.
Now, the Mu Family had fallen.
Three of his brothers had died along with all of their descendants. General Mu, who was also the first son, had long departed from Mu Family with his family members when he was stationed at the frontline. Thus, he could escape this fate. Besides, his contribution alone would make it awkward for the Emperor to punish him.
He’s a war hero, how could the Emperor punish him arbitrarily?
So, he was spared.
The rest of the Mu Family members who were in politics had all been implicated and executed. Even his cousins and other uncles were not spared as they were all purged almost completely.
General Mu’s children were also naturally spared.
They were still busy to make contribution to the kingdom at the frontline and the Emperor wouldn’t mistreat any of them.
Mu Sheng Xi was naturally included.
