Looking at the crowd, Nan Luo was not in the mood to try moving forward. He might even end up dying because of trying to squeeze his way in.
The others seemed to have simr thought as they stood rooted on their ces. Their eyes were watching the procession in front of them amidst the crowd noisy voice. Many people were excited by theing of Great General Shangguan.
Who would not?
Great General Shangguan was one of the three great generals in Emperor Huan''s era. If not because of the fact that Emperor Xuan was not someone who only paid more attention to his harem, Fei Yang Kingdom might have already started to take control of other kingdoms around the area.
What a pity that the generals were restricted during Emperor Xuan''s Era.
Now that the current Emperor was Emperor Yang Zhou, many people wanted to know whether he would be following his grandfather''s step or his father''s steps.
"It''s rare for Great General toe to the Capital City, right? What would happen if the frontline is attacked at this time?" Nan Luo asked curiously. With the two great generals staying still in the Capital City, wouldn''t their frontline be a bit… problematic?
"It shouldn''t be."
"Why?"
"When the great generals are sent to the Capital City, they would have made adequate preparation beforehand in their staying ce. Even if they had to leave the battlefield for some time, it would not affect the defense." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged.
He had already learned about this matter from his father in the past. They would switch with each other and there were also army stationed at the nearby cities for backup. That way, the military would notpletely depend on the three great generals.
However, it was known that with the three great generals around, the moral of the soldiers did reach another height.
One that couldn''t be achieved by ordinary general.
"If there''s a big war?"
"We have scouts." Or spies are more correct.
Nan Luo''s eyes widened. It was the first time he ever knew so much about the actual situation on the battlefield. In the past, he simply thought that the great generals were backbone.
However, war didn''t only consist of the great leader.
There were many others aside from them who would contribute to victory.
"I see."
"But of course, active generals are not supposed to stay at the Capital City for a long time unless he had something to do here." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Great General Shangguan and thought internally.
It was Autumn and there was no important war nearby. Why would the great general evene back personally?
He didn''t understand.
"So, we''re going to stand here all the time while watching those soldiers return?" Feng Ao Si pointed at the front. He could barely see anything from here because of the massive crowd.
"We''re going to visit Shangguan Familyter on. How about if we eat something first?" Nan Luo suggested.
"Let''s buy some buns, it''s not going to be easy to find any restaurant near here that open."
"Oh, ok."
Even though meat buns were clearly not the best option for lunch, neither one of them voiced theirint. They knew that they had toe to Shangguan Family Residence in the afternoon.
The three brats entered the carriage and the servants bought some buns on their way to Shangguan Family Residence. Due to the crowd, the supposedly short journey be extremely long.
Nan Luo yawned. "It''s so boring to stay here and wait."
"Hua''er, do you want to y go?" Feng Ao Kuai asked seriously. In their carriage a Go board and the pieces would always be prepared for them. In any case, it looked like they would be able to y for a long time even if they were staying in the carriage for a long time.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at the excited Feng Ao Kuai. She silently nodded her head. Since they would probably wait for another incense stick of time (one hour), it would be better for her to spend her time doing something rather than nothing.
Besides, she really wanted to know what the Shangguan Family were nning to do.
"Who else are invited to Shangguan Family Residence?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
Feng Ao Kuai ced his piece on the board. "Nan Family will be there. There''s also Chi Family and Long Family."
Chi Family, Long Family.
Nan Luo pursed his lips. Those two were also military family but General Chi had gone to the frontline not long ago. Only Young Commander Chi was left. Long Family was also in the simr condition.
"Other military family?"
"They''re not in the Capital City right now. And other youngmanders didn''t have background as strong as Young Commander Chi and Young Commander Long." Feng Ao Kuai was silent for a while. "You can also say that Feng Family is invited since Young Commander Feng is also here."
Feng Ao Si was speechless.
For some reason, he felt that his younger brother''s words were filled with sarcasm when mentioning him. Their father was not in the Capital City, but they were here because their grandfather was here.
Many other generals didn''t have their family members in the Capital City, especially those who usually guarded areas that were far from here.
"You don''t have military rank, Cousin Ao Kuai?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
Feng Ao Kuai shook his head. How could he have military rank when all he did was to stay at the back and avoided other people? He also had no interest to be amander now since he still needed a lot of guidance.
Besides, what kind of idiot would follow the words of 11 years old boy?
"We''ve arrived."
There were several other carriages around. It was clear that the others were also waiting for the gate of Shangguan Family Residence to open.. For now, it was simply a waiting game for them.
