"What is it, Brother Si?" Nan Luo was confused when he saw his cousin was staring at his face and then at Nan Hua.
It can't be.
This Feng Ao Si was sharper than that cunning Long Qian Xing?
"It's nothing."
Feng Ao Si felt that his guess was outrageous and didn't think too much about it. He felt that he might just think that way because he didn't pay attention to other doctors who were treating him before.
If Nan Luo were to know what Feng Ao Si was thinking, he would be tempted to hit his older cousin's head.
He almost guessed the truth.
Almost.
Nan Hua didn't care whether Feng Ao Si knew or not. The only reason why Feng Ao Si didn't know up until now was because Feng Ao Kuai could not bothered to tell his older brother that their cousin was pretending to be a man in the military.
After she had finished treating Feng Ao Si, Nan Hua returned to the tent with Nan Luo.
Tomorrow, it will be Nan Luo's turn.
Nan Hua sat on her bed, watching as her brother also went to rest. She would not interfere too much in this battle and let these people who were supposed to shine made their move. After all, she had no intention to be in the limelight.
Lowering her eyes, Nan Hua went to rest.

<Wei Da Kingdom's Palace>
The officials were very tense. Seeing the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom who had come to their door, it would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.
At this moment, they hoped that River General Kui could create a miracle and pushed these soldiers back to where they supposed to be. Most of them were afraid that if these soldiers managed to enter their city, Wei Da Kingdom would be over.
It was a very dire situation.
The Emperor sat on the dragon throne with anxiety filled his face. In his entire reign, this was the first time he experienced something like this, which made him flustered. At this moment, he just wished that Fei Yang Kingdom could retract their soldiers back.
"Your Majesty, River General Kui managed to defend successfully on the first day."
"Good job." The Emperor took a deep breath and laughed happily. However, he knew very well that the threat was not over yet. There were still a lot of soldiers who were waiting to slaughter them. "Continue to think of tactic to resist these people! I want River General Kui to push them back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
These officials were lowering their head and looked at the tactic table. It was messy because these people were trying to figure out what kind of tactic that General Long and General Cao were going to use.
They had to defend and attack at the same time.
That was the only way for them to successfully gain victory.
"When will General Gui arrived in the Capital City?" Emperor of Wei Da Kingdom asked, his tone was somewhat impatient.
There were still a total of 4 generals in Wei Da Kingdom whilst excluding the traitor General Duan. River General Kui and General Pan were in the Capital City. River General Kui defended the front while General Pan defended the back. General Gui was at the border with Shi Long Kingdom while General Kai was at the border with Fan Yi Kingdom.
They had sent messenger to these two generals to come and reinforce the Capital City without regards about their own border.
Heck, if the entire Imperial Family were to die, what was the use of guarding the border?
Their Capital City would be lost and there wouldn't be anyone who could possibly bring Wei Da Kingdom back to its former glory.
"General Gui estimated that he will arrive in 8 to 9 days. On the other hand General Kai might only able to arrive in 11 days because of the terrains."
There were rivers and mountains between Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City and their north border. Because of these terrains, it wouldn't be easy to bring a lot of soldiers towards the Capital City.
Wei Da Kingdom have ships, but they wouldn't be able to bring so many people with their current ships from the north because of several reasons. This was what caused the Emperor to have a headache right now.
The first prince, Prince Wei Da Wan, stood up and cupped his fist. "Father, if we're too pressed for more people to defend the Capital City, we can make use of the citizens. Many of them should have some basic martial arts and could help to defend the Capital City."
The people who lived in the Capital City were mostly nobles and some accomplished youth. It was not an exaggeration to say that they would know how to do martial arts and could help defending the city.
The third prince, Prince Wei Da Yong, also stood up and looked at his father, "Father, if you're willing, I can lead some people to gather the people in the city to defend tomorrow. This son of yours might be untalented, but he's willing to step forward in order to help Wei Da Kingdom survive!"
Prince Wei Da Wan looked at Prince Wei Da Yong with cold glint. This was clearly his idea, but with Prince Wei Da Yong stepping forward, it would look as if Prince Wei Da Yong was the one who had all the merit.
However, Prince Wei Da Wan was not particularly accomplished in martial arts. He was afraid that if he were to step forward, he would end up becoming a joke.
On the other hand, Prince Wei Da Yong had been arrogant since young and had high martial arts capabilities. If not because his father had some expectation on him, he might have long been sent to the frontline like his second imperial brother.
The Emperor looked at his two sons with satisfaction. "Are you sure that you can command the people, Wei Da Yong?"
Prince Wei Da Yong knelt down. "Yes, Imperial Father. Please trust me and give me this chance!"
