Chapter 1434 War at the Border (3)

"Hmm?"

Duan Shang Yi naturally knew that his wife's father and brothers were also soldiers. Their position was not that high, but at this time, they must have been deployed to the frontline to resist the invasion from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

No soldiers shall be idle.

If there were found to be idle or run away, their entire family would be hacked to death.

"Your mother is worried?" Duan Shang Yi asked, his tone was rather indifferent.

First Madam Duan sweated a bit but still bowed her head. "Yes."

First Madam Duan's position in the family was relatively low because she didn't have a son. The only son in Duan Shang Yi's residence came from his concubine while First Madam Duan only have a daughter.

It was also because of this that First Madam Duan always acted humble in front of Duan Shang Yi. But ever since Duan Shang Yi lost an arm, the treatment of his wife and concubines had cooled down.

They were no longer as enthusiastic as they used to be.

Duan Shang Yi himself understood that these people didn't really want to be associated with Duan Family so much because of the previous incidents. His wife had been spending more and more time with her family members rather than at home.

"You may go."

"Thank you." First Madam Duan bowed and walked back briskly. She still knew the etiquette and what was appropriate, but she felt aggrieved whenever she heard what other people were saying.

Even after so much time had passed, Duan Family's reputation was still very low. This made her unwilling to stay here so much and would rather holed up in her family's house and stayed with her mother.

At the very least, she would feel more comfortable there.

As for her daughter?

"Yes, General Xing!"

Long Xu himself was already commanding 3000 men on his own. With him acting on his own under Long Qian Xing's order, he was already a qualified commander.

Without hesitation, Long Xu waved his hand and the soldiers under him charged towards Da Yi City.

"They will be fine." Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing. "Duan Shang Shao has already make several traps around Da Yi City."

"Traps?" Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua. He only knew Duan Shang Shao was researching the catapult something weapon from the blueprint that Nan Hua gave.

"Yes." Nan Hua nodded.

After that trip to Yi City (formerly Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City), Nan Hua decided to reveal some relatively simple traps blueprint that she knew to Duan Shang Shao for him to make. It was to be used in Xia Mountains, but she had already told him that he was allowed to use it to increase the defense in Da Yi City.

That way, Da Yi City would be better reinforced and could defend against external attacks better than before.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "You have flexible mind, Princess Jun."

Even if Long Qian Xing knew several inventions of the future, he didn't have the blueprint for everything. After all, there were many things that required precise size to be able to make and not just the basic shape.

Thus, the blueprints are important.

Nan Hua hummed lightly.

She didn't know all blueprints and only those that she used. After all, as an assassin, how could she know nothing about traps? She had to make them too in order to protect herself well and many of them had to use the simplest and most available resources.

Because of that, Nan Hua had a lot of blueprints for several kind of traps that could be used.

"Since this area is already so fierce, the other areas shouldn't be much better." Long Qian Xing's eyes narrowed.

He thought that the earthquake will definitely make it easier for them to attack Zhang Xu Kingdom. But Prime Minister Lei's reaction and countless other preparations clearly told otherwise.

Nan Hua said nothing and only led the horse forward.
