Chapter 2313: Nan Hou Xiang (2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Are you interested in the war, Student Hou Xiang?” The teacher asked.Ever since Nan Hou Xiang and the Nan Family had a break, many people called him directly with his name and ignored the fact that he had the surname Nan. It was as if they didn’t dare to speak out this surname.
For this matter, Nan Hou Xiang didn’t mind.
He knew very well that the moment his father was executed, it was already their grace that he was still allowed to live.
Otherwise, he would have been thrown somewhere with nothing remains.
Nan Hou Xiang wanted to live.
And he wanted to live better.
So he could only work hard and do things that he used not to do. He endured the contempt and mockery of others to stay in this academy because this was the best place for him to study. It was difficult.
But he had no one to complain to.
No one was willing to side with him anymore.
Nan Hou Xiang looked at his teacher in front of him and replied softly, “Fei Yang Kingdom is in the middle of the war. It’s normal to be interested in this matter, Teacher.”
He didn’t say whether he was interested or not, but he said that it was a normal matter to be interested.
This way of speaking to not directly admitted it themselves and instead prevaricate it was truly like those old foxes. They also would not show their position easily so that they would not fall into the trap that other people prepared for them.
For these officials, unless they wanted to take a bet, they would not show their position so easily.
Because they knew that the moment the picked a side, they would be bound to that side. Whether the ending was good or bad, they wouldn’t be able to prevaricate themselves.
If they picked the wrong side and ended in their demise, they could only blame themselves for being blind.
Nan Hou Xiang knew this principle.
His father was the one who taught him when he was young, but at that time, he didn’t quite understand. Now that he had become an adult and no longer that young, Nan Hou Xiang understood more and applied it into his life.
Because he knew that he couldn’t afford to make a mistake.
He was not the young master of the Nan Family where there would be people to clean up the mess he made.
Right now, he was the one and only one person who could take care of himself.
Whatever decision he made, he had to tread carefully and made decision after countless calculation. Because only in this way would it be possible for him to survive and someday thrive to a much higher position.
“Indeed.” The teacher smiled at Nan Hou Xiang’s answer, not at all offended by his words.
Having faced so many students who came from minister family, he was already very familiar with the way these children behaved. If they were willing to answer so clearly, that meant their education was lacking instead.
He turned to look at these materials and then asked, “Do you think Fei Yang Kingdom will win the war?”
Nan Hou Xiang’s eyes flickered when he heard the teacher’s question. “Teacher, I believe everyone will answer yes.”
Because they were all from Fei Yang Kingdom.
No one from Fei Yang Kingdom would be willing to say that they would lose in the war because at that time, they would face the anger of those around them. The fate of those who lost in the war would depend on their opponent and no one wanted to experience it.
These commoners would be the one to suffer should their kingdom lose in a war.
It was a miserable fate.
“Do you think it’s possible for Fan Yi Kingdom to keep a hand somewhere?” The teacher asked again, not paying attention to Nan Hou Xiang’s previous answer.
Keep a hand?
Nan Hou Xiang frowned slightly. “Why would they keep a hand if it didn’t benefit them?”
The higher one’s position, the more they would think in a perspective of profit and non profitable. Rather than whether it was good or not, it would be better to think it in a whole of the entire kingdom.
Whether their action would benefit them more or not.
Now that both Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom was in the total war states, it wouldn’t do anyone any good to keep their hands.
This was something that they have long known and noticed.
Even if Nan Hou Xiang only paid some attention to the news from the frontline, he still felt that they should go all out.
Otherwise, they would only lose.
The teacher smiled. “Indeed. But war is also filled with deceptions and dirty tricks. Don’t you think that they might want to create fire in the other people’s backyard should it be possible?”
Nan Hou Xiang raised his head.
He could guess what the teacher was insinuating from his words.
Even though Nan Hou Xiang didn’t know the current situation on the battlefield, he could guess one or two things. Trying to force the other party to surrender or something like that through making trouble from behind, it was something that even Fei Yang Kingdom wanted
to do.
Moreover, when Fan Yi Kingdom sent their assassins to assassinate Fei Yang Kingdom’s Emperor back then, Nan Hou Xiang was aware of the incident.
If they did the same again…
Heh.
…
<Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, Song Chuan’s Residence>
Song Chuan sighed deeply as he walked out of his residence. Anyone who was woken up in the middle of the night would definitely feel uncomfortable and Song Chuan was no exception. He waved his hand to the driver and entered the carriage, heading to the Capital Academy.
Whoever made trouble in this juncture truly had no eyes.
They were already in the tense situation because of the war at the frontline and yet someone still jumped up and down to make trouble.
