Chapter 1288 Gather In Three Point Cities (2)
Chi Song Hui hadn't been looked upon favorably by the other commanders and generals in Zhang Xu Kingdom ever since that incident. It was as if everything that happened was his fault and that the losses had to be borne by his family.
His mother punished him harshly and didn't allow him to go back to the Capital City.
Thus, he was stuck at the frontline.
While he did have the intention of going to the frontline and fought for his better future to show that he was better than his d*mn father, he had no interest to stay at the frontline all the time. If not because his mother allowed him to bring some women for his entertainment, he would have never been able to withstand staying at the frontline all these times.
He would feel that it was too bored and annoying to stay at the frontline for such a long time.
Now, he heard that there was an earthquake that occurred.
Many soldiers had been deployed to help with the disaster's relief, so Chi Song Hui was wondering whether he would be asked to help too. Even though he didn't like the frontline, helping people were much more of a hassle.
At the very least, he could still laze around from time to time when he was here.
But if he had to go and help with the disaster relief, he couldn't even laze around because he had to follow orders.
"Young Master, General Shang had sent an order for you to stay here and wait for his arrival."
"General Shang? That old man is the one who will be leading the war this time?" Chi Song Hui's face collapsed.
There were several generals in Zhang Xu Kingdom but many of them hadn't been fighting a frontal battle with the other kingdoms lately. After all, there hadn't been any all out war lately.
But with the earthquake happening, it was estimated that Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom would be restless and decided to deal critical strike. Thus, these generals who were usually defending were deployed one by one.
General Shang was one of the few generals in Zhang Xu Kingdom who didn't have good relationship with Jian Family, Chi Song Hui's mother family. If he was under General Shang, it was clear that he would never be able to slack off.
Chi Song Hui gnashed his teeth in annoyance. "Are there no other generals around here?"
The adjutant had long been used with Chi Song Hui's stinky temper. "Prime Minister Lei will be working together with the newly promoted General Cong. General Tou is located at the slightly northern border at the mountainous area to face General Yu who had been spotted there. General Shang said that you can pick either one of them if you're dissatisfied with him."
Chi Song Hui was silent.
Prime Minister Lei was not easily moved by money and influence. That prime minister was hard to guess.
As for General Tou?
Recalling the brutal terrain in the mountains, Chi Song Hui dispelled the thought of going with that general. In the past, General Tou always guarded the mountainous area at the northeast of Zhang Xu Kingdom.
He was very familiar with the terrain.
But the one facing him was the Mountain Queen.
Chi Song Hui shuddered at the thought of the cruel and harsh battle that was awaiting him should he tried to follow General Tou. He had no interest to go on a long march and tire himself.
"Forget it. Just get the girls, I'm going to relax while waiting."
"Yes, Young Master." The adjutant cupped his fist and walked out of the tent. He walked out and gave the instruction to the other servants who followed them. Internally, he always felt that he was just a nanny rather than the adjutant of this young master.
Oh well… he was stuck in this position.
There was nothing that he could do.

<Fei Yang Kingdom, Three Point Cities, Feng Ao Kuai's side>
The New Year passed slowly.
Many people's talks were about the earthquake that occurred and about what will happen afterwards.
And in less than a week after the earthquake happened, the army had already gathered at the frontline, ready to charge forward. At this time, Zhang Xu Kingdom was busy splitting their attention into three.
Fan Yi Kingdom declared war.
Fei Yang Kingdom declared war.
And there were still many refugees who had to be taken care off.
Feng Ao Kuai heard the news and had been welcoming General Chi who arrived very quickly. At almost the same time as General Chi's arrival was Nan Hua who came alone. When Feng Ao Kuai saw Nan Hua, he felt that this cousin of his looked somewhat different.
He knew that Nan Hua had turned 17 around 3 months ago.
But her figure and aura seemed to change tremendously. It was not like an assassin that was full of killing intent but rather a commander on the battlefield who was ready to slaughter his way to the front.
The coercion was a bit hard to ignore.
"Nan, Nan Luo…?" Feng Ao Kuai came forward and asked in a low voice.
Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai and replied lightly, "He will arrive by tomorrow. I come earlier because I was not with him."
"I see." Feng Ao Kuai laughed dryly.
Even though Nan Hua was said to be Nan Luo's adjutant, it was clear that she didn't pay that much attention to her twin brother when it was unnecessary. Anyway, they were all no longer children and had grown up.
There was no need for her to monitor Nan Luo all the time either.
"I have been staying here for some time and I feel that I have some ideas for the strategy. However, I'm not sure that General Chi and General Xing will listen to my words." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged.
Nan Hua looked at her older cousin. If she had to say, Feng Ao Kuai's intelligence was one of the highest among the people whom she had met in her life. There were only a few people who were on par or better than Feng Ao Kuai.
In terms of strategy, he was indeed at the forefront.
