Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. "You'll turn 18 this year, right?"
"In a few months," Nan Hua replied, not understanding why Long Qian Xing would suddenly ask about this matter. For a woman in this era, this age was already quite late to get married, but Nan Hua didn't care that much.
"That's good."
Good?
Nan Hua walked into Long Qian Xing's tent while thinking about it. It was then she thought about her previous world. In this world, men are said to be an adult when they were 20 years old while women were 15 to 16 years old depending on the kingdom. But in her previous world, both men and women were adult when they were 18 years old.
Does it mean that in Long Qian Xing's previous world, it was the same?
She looked at Long Qian Xing and blinked her eyes. For some reason, she felt that this man is truly… principled.
In the way that she didn't expect.
*Neigh*
Long Qian Xing heard faint commotion and narrowed his eyes. "You get inside first. I'll go back soon."
Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing's back and hummed lightly before entering Long Qian Xing's tent. The tent was neat and tidy with only the bare necessities inside such as bed, small table, racks, and so on. It was definitely very simple for a general.
Though, Nan Hua was not that surprised. Since Long Qian Xing was not exactly the same as the other people in this era.
She looked at the small table and the incense burner there, her eyes flickered slightly. She had guessed that it was the incense burner used for Long Qian Xing to burn the incense stick to help him sleep at night.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Nan Hua veered her eyes away and looked at the additional bedding at the side. She stepped forward and began to prepare it. Even if they were to sleep in the same room, they should have different bed.
Outside, there were some soldiers talking with each other.
Long Qian Xing looked at the young woman in front of him and arched his eyebrows. "I thought you're not going back anytime soon."
The young woman, Yu Jin, looked at Long Qian Xing and sneered. "Do you think I like to roam around like that? Also, I have settled a few small armies on my way back. The soldiers still need to have some rest for now."
"I see."
"Also, I heard a very ridiculous matter." Yu Jin looked at Long Qian Xing deeply. "Your soldiers are saying that you carried a young man to your tent in the middle of the day?"
She purposely stressed the word 'carried.'
When Yu Jin heard that, she almost fell off her horse. After all, she knew very well that Long Qian Xing is her sworn younger sister's fiancé. If this man actually had such strange taste, she would go and write a letter to her sworn younger sister so that she would break the marriage agreement or never return to her identity.
This man couldn't be trusted!
"He's a scout I placed in Lin Family who had caused recent chaos. I bring him to my tent because of his peculiar identity and that he's weak because of the poison," Long Qian Xing lied without blinking his eyes.
Yu Jin looked at Long Qian Xing and recalled that there was indeed a strange smoke rising from Lin Family Mountain yesterday. Afterwards, Long Qian Xing headed towards Lin Family Mountain and left her alone to deal with the small skirmish and also the building of this temporary headquarter.
The reason sounded strange yet logical.
This made Yu Jin had to suppress whatever thoughts that appeared inside her mind. She took a deep breath. "Fine if you say so. What did you get from Lin Family?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Are they making new type of poison again?"
"Again?" Long Qian Xing grasped the key word.
Yu Jin shrugged. "I have heard that they're trying to figure out the Chen Family inheritance and recreate it. However, their research result has been quite bad because their acupuncture methods are not as sophisticated as Chen Family."
Every medical family would have their specialization. It was impossible for them to have all specialization in one family. Chen Family was good at incense stick and also their acupuncture while Lin Family was good at tending herbs and poison making.
There were also others but they were not part of Zhang Xu Kingdom and Yu Jin had limited knowledge about them.
Long Qian Xing looked at Yu Jin and nodded. "I did hear about that as well, but I didn't expect you to know about this."
"Long story short, a subordinate of mine come from Lin Family." Yu Jin rubbed her forehead. "For the past decade, there are a lot of people who escaped from Zhang Xu Kingdom who stay in the mountain and I basically become their tree hole."
In other words: they told her everything while having her comfort them.
Her experience almost made her crazy because of so many request that she heard from them. It was to the point that Yu Jin wondered whether they trusted her so much or it was because they knew she was not the type to take advantage of them.
Thanks to those events, she knew their problems, distress, difficulties, and many others. Many of those people were now her commanders in the army and would help her to face any problems.
Thankfully, no one did that anymore.
And Yu Jin was no longer just a small leader like she used to be but already had high prestige.
Except for some of her small strange hobbies.
Long Qian Xing looked at Yu Jin with pity. He didn't expect this leader of the Mountain Tribe would actually gain subordinate through such a way.
"Anyway, the good thing is that I can still watch their muscles… I mean *cough* they no longer have problem after that."
Long Qian Xing: "…" It seems I have to stay away from this woman.
