Long Qian Xing saw Wei Mu Bai's expressions and laughed. "Don't be so stiff. I'm just joking with you. I don't really need your help unless you plan to send your men to come and help me like General Yu."
Hearing this, Wei Mu Bai's expression eased. However, thinking that what Long Qian Xing wanted was for his men to cut the trees and then process it with knife so that there wouldn't be any sharp edges along the tree's surface, Wei Mu Bai's expression turned strange.
He was sure that his soldiers under him would complain vehemently if they knew that they were being ordered to cut down trees.
None of them liked this kind of work.
"No, I can't help you with this, General Xing," Wei Mu Bai said sincerely. He tried his best to make himself looked very sincere as he truly didn't want to be asked to help with cutting down the trees.
"Ok, you may leave."
With that, Wei Mu Bai turned around without hesitation.
Long Qian Xing watched their back and shook his head. "Cutting down trees is not that bad of a work, you know."
It was also relatively easy for them to do since they were stronger than ordinary people. Having practiced martial arts for a long period of time, most of them were relatively strong and thus, cutting down trees would be very easy.
"They wouldn't like mundane work like this," Nan Hua said lightly.
"Do you want to cut trees, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing asked with a grin.
Nan Hua passed a look at Long Qian Xing. "No, but I know a few people who might be more interested to cut trees."
"Hmm?"
...
Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si's side
While Nan Hua was discussing other things and also followed Long Qian Xing to the forest, Feng Ao Si and Nan Luo were planning to rest for the day.
Their position might be quite high among the other commanders, but in front of Long Qian Xing and the others, it was nothing much. When the generals were having a meeting, they would only come when they were being called.
If they were not being called, then it means their presence was unnecessary.
Feng Ao Si was the person who didn't like attending the meeting the most. He would always feel sleepy as he didn't understand more than 90%. Even after being taught by Old Minister Han, he could barely listen and only understood some of it.
Because these generals would not purposely make their discussion easier for the stupider commanders.
On the other hand, Old Minister Han still made his teaching somewhat easier to understand for Feng Ao Si.
After all, he hoped this stupid disciple of his to grow.
Just a bit was fine.
The goal was reached but hoping for Feng Ao Si to understand when the topic of the discussion expanded to various matters was clearly a bit too much.
"They're having another meeting." Feng Ao Si sighed. He was thinking of asking for a spar from Nan Hua, but it was clear that this intention couldn't be realized.
It was truly a pity.
Nan Luo glanced at Feng Ao Si. "If you have so much energy, you should pour them all when facing Fan Yi Kingdom instead."
"I always give it my all!" Feng Ao Si protested. "Don't worry, I can even show double my energy and smash my way through!"
