It didn't take long for Long Qian Xing to finish playing the song. He looked at Nan Hua with a faint smile.
"You played well, Brother Long."
"Do you like it, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing asked slowly.
Nan Hua nodded. It was a comforting song that suited many people. Because of the beautiful lody and the gentle notes. Not many people wouldn't be captivated with this beautiful song.
"I'll play the zither along with you in the future, Brother Long," Nan Hua promised.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He knew Nan Hua learned zither but he didn't know how well she played. This song was a bit difficult to play because it contained several fast and slow notes that interchanged.
"Okay, I'll give you the notes in the future."
Nan Hua humd.
She had morized the notes in the past, so she could play the song well even without him giving her any notes.
But Nan Hua said nothing.
"Shall we rest now? The tents should be ready by now."
"Yes, Brother Long."
The two of them slowly walked back to the camp as if nothing had happened.
…
Bang! Clang! Clang!
The battle between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom were very fierce. The points of contact between the two kingdoms were definitely more than just the south of Zhang Xu Kingdom where Pri Minister Lei and General Wei were clashing.
Other areas were also fighting bitterly in order to win the war for their side.
General Duan used to be part of Wei Da Kingdom but after the fall of Wei Da Kingdom, he had switched side to Fei Yang Kingdom. At first, he was not given much task and quite idle at the frontline. Occasionally, he would fight so bandits and also uprising that appeared from people who couldn't accept being part of Fei Yang Kingdom.
They all still wanted to be part of the already fallen Wei Da Kingdom.
But with the soldiers maintaining order and also fighting bitterly all these tis, there hadn't been any move that could cause devastating damage so far.
"Protect the frontline! Archers, don't stop!" General Duan yelled, giving order to his soldiers.
As the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom heated up, Da Yi City beca one of the focus point that Zhang Xu Kingdom approached. They wanted to breach through the middle area through this route.
Now that General Duan was part of Fei Yang Kingdom, how could he possibly allow them to do it so easily?
He had already failed once in the past because there was no hope and the casualties were overwhelming. This ti, he would not allow the sa mistake to happen again because he didn't want to be put in the pillar of sha again.
He will protect Da Yi City.
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers followed General Duan's order rigorously. They all hated Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers very much. For so many years, Da Yi City had been fighting against these people and the damages accumulated for countless years.
The people who had passed away.
The buildings destroyed.
These soldiers didn't want to increase more and in order to do that, they could only fight even more vigorously than ever before.
"Continue!"
Clang! Clang! Slash!
Fighting at the wall, General Duan watched the situation at the distance. His eyes narrowed at the banner hung on the opposite side.
"General Huan is the one dispatched here, huh?" General Duan snorted. He knew this general as General Huan was only promoted a few years ago and had been roaming around this area.
Facing this general whom he had known, General Duan knew no fear.
He had defeated General Huan in the past.
Why couldn't he do it again?
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The battles were fierce. Countless soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom were trying to approach the wall, but before they could do that, the soldiers from Da Yi City would kick them out.
It was chaos at the frontline.
But neither side was willing to back down in the slightest bit.
"General Duan, are you still fighting so bitterly?" General Huan on the opposite side looked at the battle at the front and yelled loudly. Even in this chaos, his voice could be heard from miles away.
Even though he was not famous, he had loud voice which was recognized by many people.
Slash!
General Duan hacked the nearby soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom near him and looked at General Huan coldly. "I will not let you conquer Da Yi City, General Huan."
"HAHAHAHA!" General Huan laughed loudly. "I'm no longer the sa general as I used to be."
Standing not far from the wall but still outside the range of the arrows, General Huan looked at General Duan on top of the wall. There was no trace of fear nor discomfort whatsoever.
He did lose against General Duan in the past.
But that was the past.
The current him was no longer the sa young general who used to be weak like before. This ti, he will be the one to defeat General Duan.
"After losing to Fei Yang Kingdom, you have lost your gripe, General Duan." General Huan sneered.
Clang! Clang! Slash!
The battle between General Duan and General Xing, Long Qian Xing, was spread wide and far. Many people in this area knew that General Duan gave up when facing Long Qian Xing, granting that young general the access to Da Yi City and finally switched side to Fei Yang Kingdom.
Many people cursed him, saying that he was such a coward.
But General Duan never said anything to refute them. The fact was laid bare and no matter how much he wanted to protest, people would never care.
They only looked at the result.
Not at the process.
Thus, he stayed silent and pretended to be mute.
