Anything else?
Nan Hua shook her head thoughtfully. She didn’t have much to do in this place and it was time for them to back.
“I want to pay a visit to Jin Jie before going back,” Nan Hua said, remembering her sworn sister.
On their way to the north, they stopped for a brief moment on the Xia Mountain foot, but Yu Jin was not present at that time.
Now that a few months have passed, she should have come back, right?
“Oh.” Long Qian Xing’s face fell when he thought about Yu Jin. That woman was really annoying and if it was possible, Long Qian Xing didn’t want to see the other party at all.
Unfortunately, Yu Jin and Nan Hua have a good relationship with each other.
In this case, it would be impossible for him to not see Yu Jin at all for the rest of his life.
Long Qian Xing sighed and then said, “Let’s tell Grandpa about this first.”
After all, they would travel with Old Master Nan. He also needed to know that they would stop for a while before going back to Cheng City.
“Yes.” Nan Hua nodded and then went to look for her grandfather.
Old Master Nan has no opinion about this matter and agreed to Nan Hua’s request right away.

<Long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City (Ying City), Imperial Palace>
The design submission for the walls have come in and after rigorous check, they came to conclusion that there were only three designs that worked.
They could implement the three different designs in different area.
After all, there were more than enough war prisoners after the war against Fan Yi Kingdom and these designers could also help to lead these people in different areas. In this way, the wall project has the possibility to be completed faster.
Though, in their estimation, it would still take decades if they wanted to build such grand wall.
“It’s too long.” Emperor Zhou looked at the report in front of him with a frown. He felt that the project would consume too much resources from Fei Yang Kingdom.
And right now, Fei Yang Kingdom’s economy was not the best.
After all, they had consumed a lot during the war against the other kingdoms. Even if the last kingdom was acquired without battle, but it didn’t help much.
Qi Xi Kingdom was really small.
Even without so many soldiers, it would have been possible to conquer them effortlessly.
So it didn’t have any big impact on Fei Yang Kingdom.
“We didn’t have to complete the entire wall but to protect most of them. Otherwise, the northern tribe will be able to enter Fei Yang Kingdom easily and plant more people,” Prime Minister Lan said.
“There are already three assassination’s attempt towards the generals in Fei Yang Kingdom in the past month. From interrogation, it’s found that all of them came from the northern tribe and sneaked into Fei Yang Kingdom’s territory.”
When speaking about this matter, Prime Minister Lan also have headache.
Who would have thought that the northern tribe had long sneaked into Fan Yi Kingdom?
Because of this, these people had long blended with the people when Fei Yang Kingdom took over. For them to check who actually came from the northern tribe was not easy and Prime Minister Lan didn’t think that he would be able to check so quickly.
“They’re targeting the generals?” Emperor Zhou frowned and then asked, “Who?”
“General Xing, Great General Wei, and General Yang,” Prime Minister Xian was the one who answered. “All three attempts failed and these generals sent report to the capital city about the interrogation result. However, they have no idea about how to proceed further.”
After all, Fan Yi Kingdom was only taken over by Fei Yang Kingdom last year and these generals were not very familiar with the administrative process.
Except for General Yang.
But General Yang has never gotten involved in various other matters of Fan Yi Kingdom in the past.
It was mainly because Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor didn’t want these generals to have too much power. So he limited their power and not allow them to be involved in political matters.
For these generals who didn’t care too much about these matters, they didn’t mind at all.
After all, they knew very well that if Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor became suspicious of them, they might be removed and their entire family killed.
Being in a high position is not easy.
Now that the new ruler is Emperor Zhou, General Yang still didn’t change this habit and expressed clearly that he was not familiar with these officials and so on. Because of this, he didn’t know how to proceed further.
“All three of them have sent the prisoners over but their condition are not very good.” Prime Minster Xian looked at Emperor Zhou when he talked about this matter.
The interrogation methods during this era was still very violent. After all, they used to be in the midst of war all the time and any kind of information was very important. To be able to get the information, various kinds of methods could be used.
So those who received those prisoners all felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
But they also knew that it was important to keep these people alive in case they needed more questioning.
“I know.” Emperor Zhou had long known about this matter.
The war is very cruel.
Some generals even liked to torture the prisoners and there was nothing that Emperor Zhou could do about it.
After all, he needed many talents if he wanted to govern the entire Fei Yang Kingdom.
Fei Yang Kingdom’s size had expanded a lot and the officials were getting overwhelmed with various works. They had to do their best if they wanted to control the entire land.
Some means like this wasn’t normal.
“Arrange for some people to question them and then sent people to their places.” Emperor Zhou’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Since they dared to target the generals, let’s see why they are sure that they will succeed.”
