Chapter 1486 There’s a Price to Pay for Everything
"General Xing?" Nan Hua asked in a low voice, looking at the young general in front of her.
Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua's appearance in front of him and gave out a low laugh. "Do you want them to know, Hua'er?"
Nan Hua blinked her eyes at Long Qian Xing's address. They were still outside and there were other soldiers in the distance. Though, if they didn't pay attention, they shouldn't be able to hear their conversation even with their good martial arts.
"They will know sooner or later." Nan Hua tilted her head. "Would you like to work separately instead?"
"That wouldn't do," Long Qian Xing refused without hesitation. Now that he had the chance to fight together side by side with Nan Hua, naturally he treasured this time very much.
Being able to see his woman fighting beside him and spent time with her during his break was something that he had long wished to do. But back then, he was worried that bringing a young lady to the frontline will only endanger her life.
Now?
He knew very well that there were very few people who could hurt Nan Hua. But even so, he will still try to protect her as much as possible.
"It's good." Nan Hua nodded.
She might not feel that comfortable with being the leader and had to lead a lot of soldiers at the frontline. But this novel feeling also allowed her to learn many things. And if being a commander meant that she could also fight side by side with Long Qian Xing, she was also willing.
At the very least, for this war against Zhang Xu Kingdom, she will stay beside Long Qian Xing openly in the identity of Princess Jun Hua.
"Are you worried?" Long Qian Xing suddenly asked.
Because he himself knew that he was also cautious in front of Emperor Yang Zhou. Some things were better left unsaid, so Long Qian Xing never mentioned it in front of anyone, including Emperor Yang Zhou.
As an Emperor, Emperor Yang Zhou had things that he had to weigh.
And Long Qian Xing himself knew very well that he couldn't completely trust Emperor Yang Zhou in everything.
There were also things that he kept from Emperor Yang Zhou and never said.
The people who worked together with him.
Some were known to Emperor Yang Zhou and some were not known and worked behind the scene.
"I can handle it." Nan Hua shook her head.
The relationship with Dark Moon Organization has always been something that she herself said on the surface. Dark Moon Organization never actually came forward to clarify that they have a princess.
At most, what they knew was that Princess Jun Hua was related to the Mountain Tribe because they had seen her with Yu Jin and her own army was also the soldiers under Yu Jin.
But these were only soldiers Nan Hua borrowed.
She will return them to Yu Jin later on.
"If you need help in erasing your traces, I can help." Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. His men should be able to do this much.
Nan Hua's eyes flickered and shook her head. "They can do that too."
"It's good."
The two of them continued to walk across the camps. There were other soldiers who were busy with the injured and so on, but none of them bothered these two. It seemed that they had come into tacit understanding that they shouldn't bother their leader.
Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua's delicate features from the side and smiled faintly. Being able to see her real appearance again made him quite delighted as he had seen her having to hide her own appearance when she was with her twin brother.
Now that the twins were approaching 18 years old, their features began to differ from each other.
Nan Luo no longer looked delicate and instead more handsome and hardened.
On the other hand, Nan Hua looked more beautiful and elegant as a young woman.
When the two of them stood side by side, it was easy to say that the two of them were siblings. But it would be harder to mistake one for the other unless they were wearing the same clothes.
Not to mention, Nan Luo had started to grow taller, starting to leave Nan Hua behind.
"Do you have anything to do tonight?" Long Qian Xing asked as he continued to walk with Nan Hua.
"No." Nan Hua had arranged for the men under her to take some rest for the time being. Anyway, with Great General Nan staying at the forefront, there was no need for her to actually do anything.
She just helped from the side little by little.
"Follow me?"
Nan Hua raised her head and nodded lightly.
The two of them walked to the edge of the hill. Under the night sky, the light was relatively dim but it was not impossible to see. There were many stars lighting the way forward.
And as martial artist, they didn't have much trouble with such trivial matter.
The two of them stopped at the edge.
Nan Hua looked at the valley below where many corpses were left behind. No one wanted to go down and possibly be poisoned again, causing the battlefield to look devastated with so many losses.
It was saddening.
But there was nothing they could do.
"Sometimes, I wish that war can end without any casualties like this." Long Qian Xing looked at the corpses below and sighed lightly. Even if he said those words, his emotion remained relatively stable.
This was not the first time he wished for something like this.
But he knew very well how impossible it was.
With so many ambitious people at the forefront wished to be the one in power, there will be many people's lives on the stake.
All for the sake of victory.
Nan Hua's eyes flickered as she replied in a low voice, "There's a price to pay for everything."
