Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 2586: A Date?
Time passed really quickly.
Long Xu missed the time when they were young, yet at the same time, he also knew that it was impossible for them to remain the same. After all, life must go on and time will continue to pass.
No one could stop the passage of time.
"I know, Ai Ning." Long Xu nodded.
Long Ai Ning puffed her cheek once more and then handed the soup to Long Xu. It was already late at night and he might be hungry.
"I'm going to rest."
Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua might take leisure scroll according to their own pace. But these two people were already used to the rapid pace when soldiers were marching during war.
How could it be comparable with ordinary people's pace?
So even though it was not that fast, it was still quite tiring for other people in this entourage. At the very least, that was what they were feeling right now.
"Yes…" Long Xu looked at his sister's back and then asked, "Ai Ning, do you want to follow Master for the rest of your life?"
Follow Long Qian Xing for the rest of her life?
Long Ai Ning turned her head and looked at her brother seriously. After a few moments, she shook her head but didn't say anything else and went to her room.
"I see." Long Xu smiled faintly.
Long Xu and Long Ai Ning could be said to be picked up by Long Qian Xing when they were young. Long Xu is the older brother and his sister was still very young at that time.
He came out to look for food and nearly died on the street.
Without Long Qian Xing coming to help him, he would not be able to survive and would have long died without any names. And after Long Qian Xing took him in, he could bring Long Ai Ning to the Long Family Residence.
In the Long Family Residence, he became a servant and a guard, learning martial arts from day to night.
His goal was for him to be able to reach the standard Long Qian Xing set for him and fulfill his duty well. Because this was the only way he could possibly repay Long Qian Xing's kindness of saving his life.
'This soup…'
Long Xu naturally recognized it.
This was the same soup as the one that Long Ai Ning prepared for him whenever he finished his practice.
Even though the Long Family would not mistreat him, they would not give him too much either. For the weak child to be able to become strong, he needed training and also enough nutrition.
In order to have enough food, he had to borrow money and it was Long Ai Ning who kept preparing nutritious food for him.
Afterwards, his ability improved and he become a soldier.
From then on, the money Long Xu could receive every month would increase and this allowed him to repay the borrowed money in the beginning and also let his sister live better.
Long Ai Ning herself had been working in the Long Family Residence for a long time.
Her duty was naturally cooking and since the girl herself loved cooking so much, it was very easy for her to finish this task.
But if you ask whether she wanted to stay as servant in the Long Family Residence for the rest of her life…
The answer is no.
Long Xu was not surprised.
Long Qian Xing has never restrained them from pursuing what they wanted. Even if what Long Qian Xing had in his hand was their contract, he treated them more as employee than as slaves.
This was mainly because Long Qian Xing came from the period of time where human's lives were treated equal. He couldn't accept the concept of slavery, but he was also unable to change it drastically.
Because this matter was very common in this era.
And to change it, there were many reforms that had to be done, which was basically impossible.
Perhaps, they could start to do some things little by little from Cheng City… fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
But this was not something that Long Xu knew.
Long Xu only knew that he and his sister had their own lives now and would probably live separately for a long time. Though, Long Xu would still serve in the military under Long Qian Xing.
Becoming a commander and working hard to lead the soldiers… Long Xu can't say that he hated this feeling.
And he wanted to stay under Long Qian Xing for a long time in the military.
Long Xu sipped the last bit of the soup and put the bowl in the kitchen before heading to his room to rest.
Tomorrow, he will go with Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua to head to the Wei Family's area.
It would be a long journey.
…
<Long distance away, Jun Family>
Amidst the problems at the north area, the people in other city has other problems for them to deal with.
Jun Shi Lian purpose sent letters to Nan Luo while the governor sent letter to the Nan Family.
He believed that the Nan Family should know about the Jun Family soon.
But soon didn't mean that all problems can be solved immediately. After all, the distance between Cheng City and this city was far away. Moreover, Nan Luo was not in Cheng City. He was in the Wei Family's territory.
Considering this matter, Jun Shi Lian chose to deal with the Jun Family by himself first.
Of course, he would not act alone.
There were many people who were greedy for the Jun Family's business and Jun Shi Lian helped to lead them to get it.
Two months have passed and it was almost spring.
Jun Shi Lian watched calmly as the Jun Family was being beaten again and again. But he was not impatient and kept on hitting them bit by bit, causing the business to fail and the Jun Family's business was taken over by others.
