Long Qian Xing's lips twitched when he heard what his father's said. Was this something a general should say when one of the commanders was wounded so badly and thus unable to participate in the battle?
However, he decided not to say anything to his father.
He knew that General Long and General Chi didn't really have that amiable of relationship. It could even be said that they used to be enemies but because General Chi lost the war in another kingdom and thus exiled, he moved to Fei Yang Kingdom.
It was not that uncommon for generals to move from one kingdom to another.* General Chi used to perform badly and lose the battle they were supposed to be winning because of the great advantage they had. But because of the performance of General Long was so great, General Chi was exiled.
And for some reason, he picked Fei Yang Kingdom.
Since then, General Long and General Chi only maintained an amicable relationship on the surface. Even though they would not go so far as to try to cause the downfall of the other party, they tried their best not to interact with each other if it was possible.
"The fact that there's less general from Shi Long Kingdom still helps." General Long looked at his son. "You did good at eliminating Young Commander Gao yesterday."
"His father might try to take revenge on you, Father." Long Qian Xing casted a sidelong glance at his father. How could he not know that his father was the one who was busy fighting against Heavenly General Gao?
"His grandfather." General Long snorted. "General Gao didn't participate in this battle because that coward is too busy holing up in Shi Long Kingdom."
Long Qian Xing: "…."
General Long had a very sharp tongue and didn't care who he cursed. As for why he developed this habit… Long Qian Xing could only think of his grandmother considering how his grandmother often dissed his father's concubines.
"If you can achieve more, I'll allow you to be promoted."
Long Qian Xing pursed his lips. He was already qualified to become a 4000 men commander for some time, but his father didn't allow him to be promoted. After all, his rise was so meteoric that many people were already looking at him with displeasure. He was rising too fast for them to comprehend the reason why.
But those who were dissatisfied were silenced when they saw the list of achievement that Long Qian Xing managed to give to them. It was so remarkable that they believed that if Long Qian Xing was not promoted, that would be a waste of his potential.
"I understand, Father."
"Go."
Long Qian Xing cupped his fist before going back to his army. He could see that his adjutants, Long Xu, was already waiting. The soldiers were all looking at Long Qian Xing nervously.
"Young Master."
"Father is dissatisfied with yesterday's performance." Long Qian Xing looked at his soldiers with a smile on his face, yet there was coldness within his eyes. "And of course, that means me too. Aside from a few who had performed well, the rest are doing so badly. I reckon you all didn't have enough training, so when this war is over, I'll apply for another long training to my Father."
The soldiers were all stunned when they heard what long Qian Xing said.
With renewed vigor, the soldiers followed Long Qian Xing as they marched to their position. Their eyes were filled with heated gaze as they looked at the lines of enemy in front of them. freēwēbnovel.com
