Chapter 829: RumorsOn the other hand, Long Qian Xing still had the pass the Dark Moon Organization gave to him to allow him pass by their mountain. If there was a guide from their organization, he would be able to bypass the mountain and reach the other area before Winter and then took hold of it.
As long as he managed to conquer one city, even if it was small, it would be a great advantage for their Spring''s n next year.
And Long Qian Xing knew that this advantage he had was something that couldn''t bepletely divulged to those outside. However, it didn''t mean that he couldn''t use it from time to time.
"Would you be able to do it?" Long Qian Xing smirked.
Seeing his expression, Chi Song Lian was holding himself back from punching this annoying man. He knew very well how annoying Long Qian Xing could be, but being targeted like this today just made him feel that he couldn''t read Long Qian Xing.
"What, are you afraid that I''ll do it better than you?"
"You?" Long Qian Xing looked at Chi Song Lian up and down. "Could you really do it?"
Hearing the provocation, Chi Song Lian''s blood rushed to his brain. If not for thest bit of sanity remained, he would have long charged towards Long Qian Xing and challenged the other party for a death match.
He snorted. "You''re not the smartest person in the world. What makes you think that you will never make a mistake."
Long Qian Xing chuckled lightly.
He never thought of himself as someone that amazing to the point of not making mistake. But even if he did make a mistake, he will try his best to correct it by making use of many kinds of means. After all, there were many choices in life and it was not difficult to say that he could also make different choices for some other matters.
But for a person like Chi Song Lian to challenge him?
Sorry, he was truly not worried. Even if Chi Song Lian did manage to find a good ce, Long Qian Xing had several strategies in his mind that he could use that would require different type of terrains.
So, there was no so-called ''best ce.''
There were only goodmanders who knew how to make use of the terrain well.
"We shall seeter."
Seeing that Long Qian Xing remained unmoved, Chi Song Lian snorted once more and led his men away. He really wanted to see Long Qian Xing panic or even worried. But looking at the way the young man was staring back in such calm expression… Chi Song Lian felt that he was the one feeling annoyed.
As expected, Long Qian Xing is truly his nemesis.
Long Qian Xing shook her head and then turned around. He still had other things to do. There were a lot of people who were executed today, but a portion of the children were missing.
If he counted it right, there were a total of 6 children missing.
"Have you found the whereabouts of the children?"
"Young Commander, there''s a report that the north was breached and themander there failed to stop it."
"Fail?"
Long Qian Xing frowned and looked into the distance. Loose ends could be dangerous because of the revenge those children could concoct for them. But most of them used to be pampered children.
Even if they managed to survive, how many of them would return?
Still, he didn''t want to leave these loose ends and have these children possibly return and cause chaos for Fei Yang Kingdom. The stability for all kingdoms were still very fragile and didn''t seem that there was any possibility to leave any error margin.
The othermanders should also be notified about this matter so that they would be able to help out. The scope would be too big if he had to cover up the entire north area with his own people.
"Post notice of each of these children. Kill on sight."
The soldier was stunned by the brutal order from Long Qian Xing, but he obeyed.
On the other hand, Long Qian Xing was thinking of the north. If those children were brought to Zhang Xu Kingdom, he had the feeling that they might be used for experiments. After all, those people from Zhang Xu Kingdom were very cruel.
But he quickly erased those thoughts.
There was no need for him to worry so much.
He couldn''t do anything as of now and knowing this wouldn''t help that much either. All he could do was to send some people to investigate and do his best to reduce the casualties as much as possible.
There will be other people who would also work in this case, so he just had to ensure that he was doing his job well.
Long Qian Xing didn''t want these unstable factors to lead to failure, so he had to make sure that he was prepared. At the same time, he was hoping that there wouldn''t be more additional surprises like this incident.
Hopefully, Zhang Xu Kingdom was not going to use these treacherous tactics all the time and still fought properly.
…
After Feng Ao Kuai went to Nan Family Residence, he heard a lot of rumors circting on the street. Many of them were talking about the people who were punished by execution not long ago.
But what pissed him greatly was the fact that there were a lot of rumors about Nan Hua. It was as if they could freely discuss her without worrying about the repercussion.
It was annoying.
And many of those rumors were trying to put her down.
For her to be alive when her other siblings were either unknown or had to be raised by someone else, her condition contrasted the others. This caused them to think that there were a lot of things behind the scene.
Thus, rumors began to fly about.
Many people who had nothing to do kept on spreading these rumors and the more they spread, the stranger the rumors be. It became so distorted that it was impossible to know what the real truth was anymore.
Even some noble families also discuss about this matter from time to time.
"Hua''er, should I stop the rumors?" Feng Ao Kuai was annoyed.
Nan Hua nced at Feng Ao Kuai and shook her head. "There''s no need to bother with them."
"Why?"
"One can''t control what other people think. You can only try to influence them but whether they believe it in the end or not depend on themselves." Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "Have you delivered the letter and medicine to them?"
"I have."
The letter was between the two bottles. Feng Mo Xing would definitely notice the bamboo strip there and noticed that there was actually something else that Feng Ao Kuai wanted him to do.
"That''s good."
"Then, the rumors outside…."
"For a family of sinner, the women inside their family will be killed or exiled or sold in ordance to Fei Yang Kingdom''s rule. The unrted concubines might be imed back by their paternal family but their reputation wouldn''t be good either. Since the people like to talk about this so much, let them talk."
Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai deeply. "But because of my rtionship with Grandfather, me and my twin brother are both pardoned. However, not everyone can ept this because they feel that it''s not fair. Some people are controlling the rumors and they wouldn''t like to be countered."
"Even if they didn''t like it, it''s easy for us to counter them."
"Why should we show our card when there will be others cleaning them up?" Nan Hua asked calmly. "His Majesty had just imed his power in the court. It''s time for him to clean up the street too."
Feng Ao Kuai thought for a moment then nodded in agreement.
There was no way that Emperor Yang Zhou would leave loose ends. But for these people, it was not easy to use the hard ways so they just had to do it step by step.
Only the shadow guard, Hou Lin, felt that his brain couldn''t move as fast as these two children. He felt a bit ashamed because of that.
"What are you nning to do now, Hua''er?"
"I''m leaving the Capital City soon." Nan Hua took out a bamboo strip and handed it to Feng Ao Kuai. "I''ll trouble you to tell the n to Grandfather."
Just as Feng Ao Kuai what kind of n Nan Hua wanted to make, he went speechless at the words inside the bamboo strip. He looked at Nan Hua in disbelief then at the bamboo strip again. After repeating the same thing three times, he finally asked.
"Are you sure that you want to do this, Hua''er?"
"Mhm." Nan Hua narrowed her eyes. "This is the fastest method to clean up."
Feng Ao Kuai: "…"
