There were many things to say, but when they truly met, the words seemed to be blocked in the throat.
The two of them sat together, watching the commotion in the palace and the garden while it was very quiet all around them. There was no one else who came to this secluded place, as if making it a place that only belonged to them.
It was tranquil and peaceful.
Long Qian Xing's eyes lowered and looked at Nan Hua's hand that was placed beside her. The skin was white and recalling the soft feeling when he held her hand back then, Long Qian Xing's hand slowly inched closer.
Slowly, he put his hand on top of Nan Hua's hand.
Nan Hua turned her head, her black obsidian pupils reflected Long Qian Xing's figure beside her. Her eyes were very clear that Long Qian Xing was astonished. It's really beautiful.
Long Qian Xing smiled. "I want to hold your hand."
Nan Hua lowered her head and at this time, Long Qian Xing had already strengthened his grip to hold Nan Hua's hand carefully. He could sense that her hand was truly soft and small, very different from his.
"Okay," Nan Hua replied and then looked away.
Seeing Nan Hua's reaction, Long Qian Xing smiled and held Nan Hua's hand tighter. He didn't know how much Nan Hua was willing to let him get close, so he could only try bit by bit.
Seeing that she didn't reject him holding her hand, he felt happy and kneaded Nan Hua's hand carefully.
Nan Hua's eyes blinked.
She felt that Long Qian Xing truly had a strange hobby. For some reason, he seemed to like holding her hand.
But it didn't feel that bad when he held her hand.
It was warm and comfortable.
Because of that feeling, Nan Hua allowed Long Qian Xing to play around with her hand. Anyway, she would not lose any piece of meat when he was holding her hand.
The two of them fell into another silence.
Long Qian Xing looked at the young woman beside him, his hand still kneading Nan Hua's soft hand. He really wanted to touch Nan Hua's face and pinched her soft cheek. Thinking of the day when she paid a visit to his residence back then, he had pinched her soft cheek playfully.
At that time, he didn't have any thought about her and only felt that she's a cute child. As an adult in child's body, Long Qian Xing really couldn't bring himself to be interested in a young child.
But when Nan Hua grew up, his thoughts began to grow crooked.
'If only we're in more private areas.'
Long Qian Xing glanced at the side regretfully. There were so many people in this banquet, so he couldn't do any outrageous thing.
Oh well, he already obtained a little benefit.
Long Qian Xing thought for a while and then said, "The war will continue for some time and Zhang Xu Kingdom will definitely not give up so easily. They're also targeting the same thing as us."
"They had to settle the internal problem first." Nan Hua knew the situation in Zhang Xu Kingdom right now. There was no way that these people would have the time to care about Fei Yang Kingdom anytime soon.
During this time, they could use the chance to clean up the problems within this area.
"I guess that Prime Minister Lei will be busy at the border, huh?" Long Qian Xing chuckled. Knowing General Wei, there was no way that general wouldn't want to take advantage of Zhang Xu Kingdom when they were somewhat weakening.
Not exactly weakening, but they had to split their forces a bit more.
"Indeed."
"Do you know the details of their internal problems? What I obtained is the problem between their ministers and also some nobles." Long Qian Xing thought of the information he obtained and wanted to chuckle.
He didn't expect that the powerful Zhang Xu Kingdom was actually quite fragile inside.
But then again, the throne is just one but there were a lot of ambitious people in the world. There were many people who had design for the throne and wanted to have the power but they were fell short or simply didn't have enough capabilities.
Years of scheming, fighting, and many others had already caused their stamina to be hollowed out.
"I know some details." Nan Hua had received the information from Princess Yue about some of these people. Added with the information she gathered from the people she placed in Zhang Xu Kingdom, there were more complete information.
The two of them looked at each other and began to talk about the matter of the border. Even though Nan Hua was not staying at the border for a long time, she still knew the situation and also the few commanders who were deployed.
Beside her, Long Qian Xing also shared what he knew and the two of them were discussing the deployment that was suitable for use. If he didn't ask, he would have never imagined that the young woman's mind was also quite good.
They discussed several possibilities and methods.
However, they were not the direct superior of these commanders, so they would need to discuss with other generals if they wanted to try it. Only a few of them would listen to Long Qian Xing because of his interpersonal relationship and also many others.
But even when they were talking about serious matters, Long Qian Xing's hand was still holding Nan Hua's hand beside him.
No matter what, he wanted to make sure to hold this soft hand while they were talking all this time.
Tep!
Nan Luo stopped a distance away, watching the two of them talked together. In this distance, he couldn't hear what they were talking, but he could tell that they must have something to be talked about.
Even though he didn't want to see his twin sister with others, he also didn't want to destroy this atmosphere.
He felt conflicted.
