"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.
Passing the torch.
Emperor Yang Zhou somehow remembered his grandfather and the fact that his dream remained unfulfilled and chuckled in a low voice.
