Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2194  Plans and Promise (2)

Long Qian Xing nodded.

He felt that the Nan Family was actually getting stronger, but then again, Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si were both of the Feng Family and not the Nan Family. Even if they were Old Master Nan's grandsons, they would be part of the Feng Family. It was just that their relationship with the Nan Family would remain tight until the next generation. After all, it was unknown whether the next generation would be able to maintain the same relationship like these three people or not. Time waits for no one.

As the older generation grew older, there would be the new generation and how the new generations interacted with each other, it was not something they could control. They could only guide it. "Alright." Long Qian Xing looked at the board and tried to think how to break through from this situation. However, Old Master Nan didn't let him think for a long time for the game because he was pulled for more discussion about the political situation in the Fei Yang Kingdom. At this moment, Long Qian Xing sighed in his heart. Even if he knew that Old Master Nan was doing this for his good, but… does he have to add the revenge part inside?

Long Qian Xing could only helplessly face his first defeat in the game against Feng Ao Kuai as he continued the conversation. …

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace>

Emperor Yang Zhou had no interest to pay attention to Long Qian Xing's movement. He had already known that this old friend of his would take a long break to spend his time with his newly married wife.

So even though he wanted Long Qian Xing to help out a bit in the court, it would have to wait until the appropriate time. For the time being, he would arrange other things.

First of all…

"Your Majesty, Great General Long is here."

"Let him in."

Emperor Yang Zhou put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head. He saw Great General Long, Long Ao Ming, walked into the room and cupped his fist while kneeling. "Your Majesty."

"Get up." Emperor Yang Zhou's tone was calm as Long Ao Ming stood up. "There's new report from the East. There are some people who incite rebellions from the remnants of Shi Long Kingdom. I would like you to go there and deal with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Shi Long Kingdom had only fallen not long ago, so there were still many remnants who thought that Shi Long Kingdom should rise.

Not to mention, many nobles didn't like being under anyone.

Even though they were technically only officials when Shi Long Kingdom was there, but their power was very big. Their words would be listened by the other officials and even the Emperor had to listen to them.

Now that they were part of the Fei Yang Kingdom…

It was not possible. Fei Yang Kingdom would not let these officials made trouble and even more so, they didn't want these nobles to think too highly of themselves. The power they used to have were taken back and many of them were dissatisfied. Some of them accepted Fei Yang Kingdom, but not everyone. It would take time to integrate the entirety of Shi Long Kingdom to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom. But Fei Yang Kingdom didn't have this time.

They were about to face another war, so this matter had to be settled while they were facing another kingdom. Thankfully, it was not like Fei Yang Kingdom was weak. "Prime Minister Xian will tell you the details. You may go now." Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand. Prime Minister Xian was the one who arranged the war more than Prime Minister Lan. In terms of these matters, Prime Minister Xian was better than Prime Minister Lan, but Emperor Yang Zhou would not replace Prime Minister Lan.

Because Prime Minister Lan contributed a lot for him to be able to sit on this seat stably. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Long Ao Ming respectfully retreated and then walked out to find Prime Minister Xian. The eunuch was already there and quickly guided him to the hall where Prime Minister Xian was located.

There were many skin map scattered on the grounds while Prime Minister Xian himself was standing in front of a sand map. It was a map that was specifically made for war discussion and placed in this side hall. When they have to discuss tactics, many officials, generals, and even commanders would be gathered here. "Prime Minister Xian," Long Ao Ming greeted and cupped his fist. "Great General Long." Prime Minister Xian nodded his head and then pointed at the map in front of him. "Come over here and I'll explain their movements and some other places you might need to investigate."

"Are there others?" Long Ao Ming frowned.

He's only one person. If he was asked to go to several places at once, he couldn't do that. "You will not be alone. General Shangguan Xiao will also come forward to help. I have sent him a letter and he'll work hard in the next period of time," Prime Minister Xian said lightly. After Shangguan Xian retired back then, Shangguan Xiao was the one who held control over the military power under the Shangguan Family. The other officials once debated whether they would let the family remained in the Shangguan Family or not, but in the end, it was Emperor Yang Zhou who decided. The Shangguan Family had already contributed a lot to Fei Yang Kingdom over the years and he would not hand over their power just to anyone. At the very least, let the power be in the hand of the Shangguan Family until they wanted to hand it over themselves. With that, Shangguan Xiao become the next general of the Shangguan Family. Thankfully, he himself was not that bad so the next war report didn't give these officials any reason to take back this power from him.  n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
