"I didn't expect to see you here, Second Young Commander Shangguan," Nan Luo greeted Shangguan Xiao.
"I was redeployed." Shangguan Xiao shrugged.
Nan Luo nodded.
There were indeed many other commanders who had come here, but they were not close to the others. Some other young commanders who came from noble families were also here, but they really couldn't just barge in into this circle.
That would be impolite.
"Shall we have some tea? I heard that the tea in Yi City is better than in the Capital City."
"Is it? Then I would like to taste it." Nan Luo was interested. While he had been at the battlefield for a long period of time, there were also time when he was the young master of Nan Family.
He had learned how to appreciate tea and so on.
They quickly found a table and sat down. Before long, Sheng Shan Lang also joined in. Even though he was of commoner born, he surprisingly fit well in this small circle. It might be because of his personality.
"I didn't expect that you're also quite popular," Nan Luo joked.
Sheng Shan Lang smiled helplessly. "Some nobles think that I might be easier to use."
"Really? Did you yell at them again?"
"Almost."
The last time Sheng Shan Lang was pestered by some nobles, he couldn't hold back his temper and finally yelled at them. This has caused some drama and made his reputation worse, but Sheng Shan Lang couldn't be bothered with it.
He was not like these noble young masters who were used to smile and talked about many things. While he had to admit that he was not as knowledgeable, he was still annoyed at people who tried to force their words on him.
"Taste the tea?" Shangguan Xiao offered.
"Thank you." Sheng Shan Lang took the cup and drank the content without hesitation. He was somewhat surprised that the taste was somewhat bitter yet it was sweet in the end. "It's a good tea."
"I thought you didn't know how to appreciate tea." Nan Luo was also sipping the tea. He felt that it tasted really good.
"I still know some things." Sheng Shan Lang rolled his eyes.
Shangguan Xiao chuckled. "Now that we're here, shall we go to the main point."
Main point?
Everyone turned to look at Shangguan Xiao, curious what this man had in store. Behind Nan Luo, Nan Hua was standing still, watching these young masters playing and knew very well that Shangguan Xiao must want them to play some game.
"Let's play a guessing game. I'm sure that as fellow young commanders, you should be able to know the situation of the other areas of the battlefield." Shangguan Xiao grinned. "All of us will be deployed in different areas, so wouldn't it be good if we can share what we know and compare it with each other?"
If it was successful, he would continue doing this. But if it failed, he would analyze it.
This would help him to grow his strategy better while helping many other commanders to survive at the frontline. After all, the battle would only grow fiercer and having more allies would be better than having more enemies.
"I'm going first." Long Qian Xing stood up and walked away.
Nan Luo's eyes followed the other party and felt somewhat annoyed. He wanted to stop Long Qian Xing, yet he also wanted to hear more. After a while, he finally resigned to his fate and let them be.
There was indeed nothing that he could do.
Anyway, he also hoped for his twin sister's happiness, so his obstruction still had to be in place.
Today…
Just let them be.
Feng Ao Si naturally didn't realize what Nan Luo was thinking. "I'm a bit curious about something, Second Young Commander Shangguan. Why is your relationship with Young Master Long is really good?"
"That's because the two of us fight a lot." Shangguan Xiao shrugged.
"Huh?"
