Chapter 2134: Passing the Torch
"Nan Hua, Young Miss Nan of the Nan Family, greets Emperor Yang Zhou and General Xing," Nan Hua gave her greetings in the most polite way.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Nan Hua and nodded. "I have heard of you, Young Miss Nan. You're indeed a very beautiful young lady."
Beautiful?
With the veil on her face, it would be difficult to say how her complexion actually was.
But Nan Hua would not say it out loud and instead replied, "Thank you for your generous praise, Your Highness."
Is it a generous praise?
Emperor Yang Zhou chuckled and glanced at Long Qian Xing, who couldn't move his eyes away from Nan Hua the moment she appeared. He felt that Long Qian Xing was truly a lost cause.
In front of Nan Hua, he was like a fool.
But probably it was also because of this he was able to get Nan Hua, who was also General Jun and had been hiding her identity. Such a strong woman was not that easy to get along with nor dealt with.
"Young Miss Nan, do you know whether Fei Yang Kingdom will stay strong without the few generals on the frontline?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked.
After the long and gruesome battle with Shi Long Kingdom, several generals from Fei Yang Kingdom had died and retired. Many other commanders and countless soldiers were sacrificed in order to win the battle.
Afterwards, General Shangguan Xian retired, General Feng also retired, now General Jun is estimated to also retire.
If Nan Hua wanted to use the identity of General Jun to go to the frontline again, it wouldn't be so easy. After all, many people would be paying attention to Nan Hua's movement as she was the young miss of Nan Family.
Not to mention, Long Qian Xing also requested for a break, which meant that Emperor Yang Zhou couldn't use Long Qian Xing again anytime soon.
Without these generals who had also made a lot of contribution to Fei Yang Kingdom, it was estimated that Fei Yang Kingdom's overall strength would have weakened a lot.
"Your Majesty, there will be new generation after the old because that's what the humans are good at... passing the torch," Nan Hua replied slowly. "There will be new people coming up and continue the dream that hadn't been fulfilled, complete the task that was left from the people before us."
Nan Hua was not sure how to describe it and tried her best to convey the meaning to Emperor Yang Zhou.
Humans' life is limited.
For any grand ambition, there were times when it was not enough for them to do it themselves. They could only let the next generation to continue what they had started.
But it didn't mean that they didn't make any contribution.
On the opposite, it was because of the foundation that they had built these people would be able to finish what they had started.
But there were also things that only they could do and it was done directly in their generations.
It was just that sometimes, time was not enough.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Passing the torch.
Emperor Yang Zhou somehow remembered his grandfather and the fact that his dream remained unfulfilled and chuckled in a low voice.
Back then, his grandfather didn't manage to complete his dream of unification the land. Even though the military and economy of Fei Yang Kingdom has been greatly strengthened during his reign, but it was far from enough.
In the end, his grandfather had to 'pass the torch' to him in order to let him fulfill the goal and ambition from many years ago.
And now that there were not enough generals on the frontline.
So...
He could also recruit more generals.
There were many soldiers out there who were still growing up and had contributed to the war. As long as they grow up enough, they would be able to contribute to Fei Yang Kingdom and made difference on the battlefield.
There were not only these few generals.
Emperor Yang Zhou knew that and he also hoped that there would be more and more people who could be used in Fei Yang Kingdom. Because only with a lot of talented people would it be possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to thrive and rise in the future.
"You're good, Young Miss Nan." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Nan Hua deeply and then turned his head at Long Qian Xing.
In a way, these two people were really similar to each other. They knew what they wanted and also various other matters that Emperor Yang Zhou would not think about.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty," Nan Hua replied.
"I'll leave you two to go now." Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Long Qian Xing. "We'll talk again in a few days."
Long Qian Xing cupped his fist to Emperor Yang Zhou.
Emperor Yang Zhou left and only the two of them were left behind in the garden. There were no other servants there as Emperor Yang Zhou had purposely cleaned up the place to let him
have a private conversation with Long Qian Xing.
Now, only Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were left.
"I'll bring you back, Young Miss Nan," Long Qian Xing said and there was a hint of smile on
his tone.
Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Long Qian Xing. She nodded gently and said, "En."
The two of them made their way to the carriages area and got into Nan Hua's carriage. "Would you like to pay a visit to my grandfather, Brother Long?" Nan Hua asked.
Long Qian Xing shook his head. He was sure that if he were to pay a visit to Old Master Nan without having his grandmother with him, he wouldn't be able to spend any time with Nan
Hua.
Old Master Nan would block him first.
Reason?
She's about to be married to your place, why does he had to compromise and let the two of
them interact more first?
Old Master Nan refused!
