"The battle is not over. But in order to celebrate our victory, there will be a banquet! I hope everyone will enjoy themselves." Emperor Yang Zhou gave thest announcement before leaving.


    Everyone naturally kowtowed and praised Emperor Yang Zhou for being kind, smart, and many other words.


    Listening to these people''s words, Nan Hua silently wondered whether thesemanders had also received praising training. They seemed to have already obtained the ability to praise the Emperor so well.


    Forget it.


    Many of them were nobles and naturally had some basic etiquette training before they came to the frontline.


    When Emperor Yang Zhou left, the atmosphere became less tense. The few generals at the forefront looked at each other and nodded. Many of them were not actually close to each other.


    After all, their main battlefield used to be different.


    "Congrattion for your promotion, Great General Long," General Cao cupped his fist in congrattion.


    General Long, now called Great General Long, looked at General Cao and nodded. He cupped his fist in response. "You''re too polite, General Cao."


    General Cao smiled and looked away. There was an unknown light within his eyes as he looked at the other generals who participated in this banquet.


    "I wish you great achievement in the future." General Cao gave a few more polite words to Long Qian Xing.


    Long Qian Xing looked at General Cao and cupped his fist. "I''ll take your good words, General Cao."


    The two of them were polite towards each other.


    There was no one who could see anything wrong from the way they interacted with each other. The stupid people might even think that the two of them have good rtionship with each other with the way the two of them greeted each other.


    But how much sincerity in their words were, only the two people involved knew.


    "I will excuse myself first." Great General Long nodded at General Cao and turned his head to look at Great General Nan.


    He had no interest to y in this political game with General Cao and the others. It was so tiring, which was why he spent most of his time on the frontline, far away from these schemes and all.


    On the other hand, he missed Old Master Nan quite a bit.


    It has been a while since he talked with the other party.


    Seeing that Great General Nan was talking with Yu Jin, he waited at the side.


    Both Great General Long and General Cao were the main responsibility over the battle in Yi City. Aside from them, there was also General Yu Jin who was present and Great General Nan who came along to join in the fun.


    There was nock of capable people in Fei Yang Kingdom.


    That was what everyone could see.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "It''s an honor to be able to meet you, Great General Nan," Yu Jin greeted Great General Nan and scrutinized the other party. After knowing Nan Hua''s real identity as the young miss of Nan Family, she had be more interested in everyone from Nan Family.


    And looking at this amiable old man beside her, Yu Jin''s instinct was telling her not to mess around with him. As a person who had been living in the midst of danger for a long period of time, she naturally trusted her instinct.


    ''As expected of Hua''er family.''


    "Congrattion to General Yu," Old Master Nan looked at Yu Jin and nodded his head.


    Yu Jin smiled and then excused herself. While she wanted to know more about him, it would be better to interact with him after Nan Hua introduced the two of them. For now, she would just stay away from him.


    Looking at the crowd, Yu Jin finally spotted Nan Hua standing at the side. She looked oddly out of ce in this location. It was as if she was not suited to be in this ce that was filled with mor.


    Perhaps, that was because she herself didn''t want to.


    She was morefortable in the darkness where no one could see her and let her do what she was supposed to do.


    Knowing that it was indeed not the best ce to talk when there were a lot of people paying attention to her, Yu Jin slipped away.


    Behind her, Old Master Nan noticed that Great General Long was looking in his direction. Heughed lightly. "Would you like some wine, Long Ao Ming?"


    Great General Long, Long Ao Ming, nodded his head. Perhaps, Great General Nan couldn''t call him with his title as it made him remember his old friend. Long Ao Ming also had no intention of making Old Master Nan remembered his father.


    Losing someone was difficult.


    Even though the three old friends interacted less and less as they aged, it couldn''t erase the fact that they were all old friends who had fought in a life and death battle for a long period of time.


    "It has been a while, Great General Nan," Great General Long paused for a moment, "I''ll be relying on you for guidance."


    Old Master Nanughed. "This is already your era and my era had long passed. Those old fogeys who are still active at the battlefield might not even be able tost long anymore."


    There were still a few old generals who were active at the battlefield from various kingdoms. But just like Old Master Nan, they were no longer the same as when they were young. They would be slowly erasing their presence away as they gave the stage to the younger generations.


    Great General Long and his peers were at their peak of their career. Old Master Nan believed that they would be able to achieve great things in due time.


    "This is your era. Are you ready, Long Ao Ming?"


    Long Ao Ming looked at Old Master Nan when he heard the words.


    His era?


    When his father passed away many years ago, he always felt that he was not ready and wanted to go forward and avenged his father. After all, as a son, he also cared for his father and didn''t want to lose his father so early.
