2193 Plans and Promise

Beside Nan Luo, Feng Ao Kuai was still playing the second game with Long Qian Xing. His game proceeded slower compared to Old Master Nan and Nan Luo since he thought more with his every steps.

In this way, Feng Ao Kuai had only lost once.

And Long Qian Xing also had to think more carefully when playing against Feng Ao Kuai because their previous game nearly end in his loss. It was clear that the pressure was high in this game. “The situation of Fei Yang Kingdom is not very good in the Capital City. Even though the atmosphere is peaceful, you should know that the water here is deep and there are several small factions,” Old Master Nan said calmly. He had been staying in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City for a period of time, so Old Master Nan was very clear that whatever peace that they could see on the surface, it was nothing more than a false impression.

The impression that was brought forward by those officials’ fake performance.

But even then, it was good for the ordinary people not to know about the confrontation of the officials. Because if they noticed it, it meant that the current situation in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City had reached such a crisis. Right now, they were still facing two more kingdoms.

So even if there were some conflicts here and there, they didn’t dare to overstep their bounds. Because if they did, Emperor Yang Zhou would not hesitate to punish them severely as he still wanted to focus on winning the war. The officials also didn’t want to lose.

Everyone had invested a lot for this war.

But it didn’t mean that everyone can get along smoothly with each other. They would have no other choice but to compromise on the surface but whether they were truly alright behind, it was another question. “I know,” Long Qian Xing said slowly. “I’ll be staying in the Capital City for a period of time. I hope Grandpa can help me out.”

Long Qian Xing was not stupid.

He knew that there were many confrontation between the officials. Be it here or in his previous life, he had seen many dirty tricks in front of him. And because his previous life was in a relatively ‘peaceful’ period of time, they also didn’t dare to truly use force.

It was also because of this that Long Qian Xing was also quite used to these confrontation. If they thought that he was a soft persimmon because he was younger than them, then he would teach them how to behave.

Of course, Long Qian Xing would not say the arrogant words in front of Old Master Nan.

If he did that, he was sure that Old Master Nan would not hesitate to ask his grandchildren to beat him up. Old Master Nan snorted.

On one side, he was happy that Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua could spend more time in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City. After all, the situation on the frontline was not stable and if they were to go there, he would still be worried for their safety. Yes, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were powerful, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t get hurt. Anything could happen on the battlefield. Even the weak could win if they used the right tactic and the strong could fall.

So Old Master Nan was still worried for his granddaughter.

But even if he was worried, he would not show it on the surface because he knew many people were watching him. If he were to show anything amiss, it was estimated that there would be many people who wanted to eat him and his family whole. Old Master Nan couldn’t let it happen. So the least he could do was to let them see him stay strong and made trouble. “There are many new officials rising, so you might need to get familiar with them yourself,” Old Master Nan said lightly. New officials rising?

Long Qian Xing nodded thoughtfully.

When he went to the battlefield many years ago, there were already several upheaval in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City because of Emperor Yang Zhou’s moves and later on, Old Master Nan’s chaos. Because of this, many new officials had to be appointed and there were more examinations.

Not to mention, conquering cities also required them to send officials later on.

Some old and new officials were sent away. As a result, the people in the Imperial Court were now mostly new faces that Long Qian Xing didn’t know. Only some people remained the same such as Prime Minister Lan, Prime Minister Xian, and Song Chuan.

Long Qian Xing still knew them even though his relationship with Prime Minister Xian was not very good. Now that he wanted to stay here, Emperor Yang Zhou might want him to come to the court from time to time. He had to familiarize himself with the other officials. In this way, they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of him when he was here. Thinking about this, Long Qian Xing sighed slightly. It was troublesome.

Yet at the same time, Long Qian Xing also knew it was inevitable. He wanted to live peacefully and comfortably with Nan Hua, so he had to face these people sooner or later. It would be better to settle these troubles as soon as possible. “I understand,” Long Qian Xing repled. Old Master Nan nodded. “Good. Ao Kuai can give you some list for you to memorize.” Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Feng Ao Kuai?

Long Qian Xing turned his head to look at Feng Ao Kuai and then saw the board in front of him. His lips twitched when he saw that he had been locked by Feng Ao Kuai. It seemed that this man took advantage when he was thinking hard to make harder move since he didn’t have much time to think. Feng Ao Kuai smiled and then took out a bamboo scroll. He put it beside the board and said, “You may take this later, Young Master Long.”
