There were not much that the villagers knew, but they recognized that woman. She came to their village around 2 months ago, saying that she was lost. The head village assigned her to live in one of the villagers' house and she will work on the field and also went to the mountain a lot.
In this kind of small village, it was really hard for them to have no one who knew what they were doing. These aunts liked to gossip too much!
Thus, the woman's action was quite clear in the eyes of the villagers.
It was just that they never expected that she would actually harm them after they had sheltered them. These aunts were cursing that woman when Sheng Shan Lang had finished talking with them.
"Did you not tell them that she's from Zhang Xu Kingdom and following order?" Nan Luo asked.
"No need." Sheng Shan Lang shook his head. "These people don't really understand the intrigue and the problems between kingdoms. It would be better for them to just stay at the back and only know a little bit."
"What if they come again?"
"This time, they will be more cautious towards strangers."
"I see."
Long Qian Xing's result of conversation was similar. However, he also found out that there were actually other bandits in the area. The villagers said that there used to be another one but they seemed to have moved to target other villages.
But which village it was, they didn't know.
They actually wanted to pay visit to other villages, but their route didn't really overlap with other villages. With no other choice, they quickened their pace and head back to Yi City. Naturally, they also submit the report about their finding aside from submitting their mission: the prince's head.
Yi City was bustling when they came back. It was quite surprising that in less than a month, so many things had changed.
The citizen had already started to accept the change.
Even if they didn't want to accept it, what else can they do? They could only bow their head and accepted that they were now part of Fei Yang Kingdom and for those nobles, there might be reshuffle of power.
It was even more so after Emperor Yang Zhou reached Yi City.
"Several officials had already arrived. One of them is Great General Nan." The soldiers reported the things that had happened in Yi City during the time they were away for the mission.
"Grandfather is here?" Nan Luo's eyes lit up. "Where is he?"
"He's in…"
After obtaining the address, Nan Luo dragged Feng Ao Si and Nan Hua to their grandfather's residence. It has been a long time since the last time they went there and naturally they also missed their grandfather.
Uh wait… Feng Ao Si was actually a bit hesitant considering how much he had been beaten up so horribly by his grandfather.
But he still missed Old Master Nan, so he followed Nan Luo.
…
<Old Master Nan's Temporary Residence>
Old Master Nan was looking at the report in his hand and silently cursed inside his mind. He was already old and yet, those fellas were still dragging him to participate in their battle.
If only it was possible, he also wanted to have some rest and no longer participating in the war.
"Hou Lin, are those brats back?"
"Second Young Master Feng is still in San City, dealing with the skirmish battle. Young Master Nan, First Young Master Feng, and Young Miss are coming here after they had submitted their report."
"Good." Old Master Nan hadn't seen his grandchildren for some time. Thinking about his first grandson, Old Master Nan rubbed his forehead. That Feng Ao Si was still as reckless as ever. He hoped that Feng Ao Si could learn how to use his brain a bit more rather than being so stupid all the time.
Well, he had gotten slightly better, but it was still a bit concerning.
When Feng Ao Si came here, Old Master Nan felt like spanking that brat again.
If Feng Ao Si were to hear what his grandfather was planning to do, he might have thought twice before going back to see his grandfather.
Old Master Nan had already finished his preliminary work for the day and wanted to have some rest. Even though he was still very healthy even at this old age, he would rather spend more time in his residence rather than walking out to meet with other officials.
It would only challenge his patience.
It didn't take long for Nan Luo to drag the other two to the temporary residence. Though, when they saw the building, they literally wondered which official had such a bad luck to have their residence handed over to Old Master Nan.
"Whoever this residence used to belong to, they must be high ranking." Nan Luo looked at the gate and clicked his tongue.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "They're probably already dead if this residence can be handed to Grandfather."
"Yeah."
Some officials who tried to run away on that day or fight were mostly killed. After all, it would be hard for Fei Yang Kingdom to use people who were too loyal to Wei Da Kingdom. The rest of the officials were still alive and Nan Luo was not entirely sure how General Long arranged them.
In any case, it was not his business at all.
"There are also many other officials who have come." Nan Luo waited for the guards to open the gate after announcing his presence. "They should also get good residences after cleaning up."
Nan Hua nodded. "Prime Minister Xian is a high ranking official and stay not far from here."
"Wait, how did you know where his temporary residence is allocated to?"
"I got the news."
Nan Luo was speechless. He began to think that he was so useless while Nan Hua was so amazing when he heard that. Why did he feel that the news he got would always be a step later after Nan Hua?
This couldn't do.
He had to step up if he truly wanted to be better than Nan Hua.
