Chapter 1239 Banquet (4)
"I didn\'t expect to see you here, Second Young Commander Shangguan," Nan Luo greeted Shangguan Xiao.
"I was redeployed." Shangguan Xiao shrugged.
Nan Luo nodded.
There were indeed many other commanders who had come here, but they were not close to the others. Some other young commanders who came from noble families were also here, but they really couldn\'t just barge in into this circle.
That would be impolite.
"Shall we have some tea? I heard that the tea in Yi City is better than in the Capital City."
"Is it? Then I would like to taste it." Nan Luo was interested. While he had been at the battlefield for a long period of time, there were also time when he was the young master of Nan Family.
He had learned how to appreciate tea and so on.
They quickly found a table and sat down. Before long, Sheng Shan Lang also joined in. Even though he was of commoner born, he surprisingly fit well in this small circle. It might be because of his personality.
"I didn\'t expect that you\'re also quite popular," Nan Luo joked.
Sheng Shan Lang smiled helplessly. "Some nobles think that I might be easier to use."
"Really? Did you yell at them again?"
"Almost."
The last time Sheng Shan Lang was pestered by some nobles, he couldn\'t hold back his temper and finally yelled at them. This has caused some drama and made his reputation worse, but Sheng Shan Lang couldn\'t be bothered with it.
He was not like these noble young masters who were used to smile and talked about many things. While he had to admit that he was not as knowledgeable, he was still annoyed at people who tried to force their words on him.
"Taste the tea?" Shangguan Xiao offered.
"Thank you." Sheng Shan Lang took the cup and drank the content without hesitation. He was somewhat surprised that the taste was somewhat bitter yet it was sweet in the end. "It\'s a good tea."
"I thought you didn\'t know how to appreciate tea." Nan Luo was also sipping the tea. He felt that it tasted really good.
"I still know some things." Sheng Shan Lang rolled his eyes.
Shangguan Xiao chuckled. "Now that we\'re here, shall we go to the main point."
Main point?
Everyone turned to look at Shangguan Xiao, curious what this man had in store. Behind Nan Luo, Nan Hua was standing still, watching these young masters playing and knew very well that Shangguan Xiao must want them to play some game.
"Let\'s play a guessing game. I\'m sure that as fellow young commanders, you should be able to know the situation of the other areas of the battlefield." Shangguan Xiao grinned. "All of us will be deployed in different areas, so wouldn\'t it be good if we can share what we know and compare it with each other?"
"That sounds good." Feng Ao Si nodded. He didn\'t know much about the place where he would be deployed next, but he heard that it would be at the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom.
"Ok." Nan Luo nodded.
Long Qian Xing also nodded while he didn\'t think that he would lack any information whatsoever. The movements of the enemies were very clear because of the information that he had known.
Sheng Shan Lang nodded too.
"So, shall we start?" Shangguan Xiao grinned. "Let\'s start with this…"
They began to talk about a few big cities at the border and the situation there. At the border of Shi Long Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom, Shangguan Xiao naturally knew the most. But when it came to the north areas, it was Nan Luo\'s turn to know better. It was mostly because Nan Hua had explained many things during their times there.
When it came to the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was Long Qian Xing turn to speak.
Feng Ao Si knew nothing and Sheng Shan Lang only knew very briefly, which made him somewhat embarrassed.
But with this, they were clearer of the war situation all around the areas of Fei Yang Kingdom.
"Young Master, I\'ll wait by the side."
"Ah, ok." Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua\'s back and felt that for her, the information they shared might not be that important. He looked at Shangguan Xiao and wondered just what this man was actually planning when he wanted them to exchange battle situation.
Long Qian Xing\'s eyes flickered. He glanced at Shangguan Xiao. "I\'m sure you already have enough information about the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom. Besides, with General Wei there, there\'s no need for you to help with making tactics."
"You know me so well." Shangguan Xiao was a bit helpless. In front of Long Qian Xing, it was indeed hard for him to hide his purpose. He was better at using his brain, so he was thinking of helping others to make some strategies and asked them to try implementing it.
If it was successful, he would continue doing this. But if it failed, he would analyze it.
This would help him to grow his strategy better while helping many other commanders to survive at the frontline. After all, the battle would only grow fiercer and having more allies would be better than having more enemies.
"I\'m going first." Long Qian Xing stood up and walked away.
Nan Luo\'s eyes followed the other party and felt somewhat annoyed. He wanted to stop Long Qian Xing, yet he also wanted to hear more. After a while, he finally resigned to his fate and let them be.
There was indeed nothing that he could do.
Anyway, he also hoped for his twin sister\'s happiness, so his obstruction still had to be in place.
Today…
Just let them be.
Feng Ao Si naturally didn\'t realize what Nan Luo was thinking. "I\'m a bit curious about something, Second Young Commander Shangguan. Why is your relationship with Young Master Long is really good?"
"That\'s because the two of us fight a lot." Shangguan Xiao shrugged.
"Huh?"
