Chapter 427 Visit to Heng Xing City

Feng Ao Si had grown much faster and stronger while Feng Ao Kuai focused most of his training to improve his legs and arms in order to be able to shoot arrows faster. He didn\'t really focus on speed, which was why he tried to dodge with the minimum distance as much as possible.

If the fight had continued, he would surely lose because his strength couldn\'t match Feng Ao Si.

For a 14 year old boy to match the strength of a 17 years old young man would be very difficult. A long time sparring would only result in his loss, which was why Feng Ao Kuai chose to stop.

"Oh right, Grandpa told me that we\'re all going to the Capital City in a month\'s time because they have a Victory Banquet or something like that." Feng Ao Si kept his sword away.

"Victory Banquet?" Nan Luo was stunned. "Had they decided the punishment for His Highness and the other nobles?"

"Some areas still have fighting but there are Young Commander Chi and Young Commander Long taking care of those areas. I\'m dismissed the earliest." Feng Ao Si felt depressed whenever he mentioned this point.

The others could only look in his direction, not feeling that it was strange at all. Feng Ao Si\'s rank was the lowest and naturally, his contribution couldn\'t match the other two. Even though all of them carried the word \'young\' in their ranks, they were not that young anymore.

"Grandpa send message this morning, Luo. Have you read it?"

"Ah, not yet."

The message detailed that Prince Yang Lu would be detained in Kuai City with his wife and not allowed to leave. While it seemed to be a severe punishment, it was actually the lightest because the one who caused harm was his maternal family.

Hai Family was not as fortunate. Because they were the prosecutor, everyone associated with them except for Prince Yang Lu were killed. It caused massive bloodbath after the rebellions.

Some officials who were forced were released while those who supported Hai Family were killed.

"How about the children?" Nan Hua asked softly. If she was not wrong, she had saved the twins from Feng Family before they were killed because of the poison from Hai Family.

"The children are either killed or exiled." Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips. It was a harsh punishment, but there were many times when people were punished just because they had some association.

It was simply how the law in this place worked.

This was also the reason why everyone had to be careful with whoever they associated with. And also the reason why the moment one entered another family, their fate would be tied closely with them.

"Wait, how about your cousins?" Nan Luo was stunned.

"I don\'t know."

Old Master Nan didn\'t give the list of all the children who got involved to them. As for his cousin, Feng Ao Kuai might only manage to know about it in the future when Feng Qian Kun returned to Wind City.

As for when, that was unknown.

"I see."

The atmosphere turned dark.

Nan Si Qiao looked at the children and sighed softly. "Don\'t you have to go to the Capital City? Go and prepare your luggage."

"Right…."

"The Victory Banquet is before New Year Celebration?"

"Yes."

"But it\'s winter…."

"The winter in Capital City is not as heavy as here… probably they wanted us to have some fun there when the temperature was still very low."

The others: "…"

It was clearly not a good joke.

Not a single one of them liked to stay outdoor when it was Winter. Not to mention that they were forced to participate in something like a banquet in the middle of winter. Thankfully, the time they set was a day before New Year celebration, so the temperature should have started to turn warmer.

It would not be freezing cold.

But the journey itself was hell.

Nan Si Qiao didn\'t follow the four children because she was afraid of bringing Feng Ao Qian everywhere. The boy was still very young and weak, so she didn\'t want to take the risk.

The four children departed after delaying for several weeks because the winter was too cold. A week before the Victory Banquet, they had no other reason to delay and thus departed.

Of course, they were all complaining heavily about the cold temperature.

The journey would only take a few days at most and in the middle of their journey, they visited Heng Xing City in order to meet with Old Master Nan first. The rebellion was practically over and no one wanted to continue torturing themselves in the cold winter.

They were making their way to the Capital City.

"Welcome to Heng Xing City," the governor, Zhang Dan Shui, welcomed the four children outside the gate.

After working for a long time, he had managed to reach this position and started the projects that Nan Hua left for him. Even though it was not easy, Zhang Dan Shui enjoyed his work since he could freely do whatever he wanted here without his family to disturb him.

Even his mother liked Heng Xing City very much.

Feng Ao Kuai alighted down the carriage and looked at Zhang Dan Shui deeply. He cupped his fist. "Thank you for coming here, Governor Zhang. However, I don\'t think it\'s necessary for you to welcome us this grandly."
