Lin Yuan grinned when he heard that. "Don't worry, my father had woken up and I asked him about it."
"What did he do here?"
"He's having a negotiation with the local governor. Things didn't end too well and he ended up losing a lot of money inside that thing, so we're thinking of staying here to retrieve the carriage tomorrow." Lin Yuan was rather honest.
Long Qian Xing nodded. He knew that Lin Yuan and his father were merchants in and out. They would not care about anything but profit and digging would not cost them too much to retrieve the money they lost.
"Your luck is a bit bad."
"Well, true." Lin Yuan sighed. He had asked Lin Sun and felt apprehensive when he heard that the one who ordered the rescue was the young lady instead of the general. It was a bit astonishing to think that such a young lady was so courageous.
"I'm also a bit surprised about your fiancée. I never knew that women in Fei Yang Kingdom is so courageous."
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "You better not try your luck."
Lin Yuan quickly waved his hand. "I won't have such thoughts! You know that I only like voluptuous women and she's just a little kid! I swear that I'll never have any design for your woman."
"Good."
Looking at Long Qian Xing's hand that no longer gripped the sword tightly anymore, Lin Yuan sighed in relief. If he ended up getting beaten up by Long Qian Xing again, he really didn't know what he should say to his father.
The last time, his father merely laughed out loud at him and instead discussed business with Long Qian Xing leisurely. In his father's words, it was already time for Lin Yuan to experience a beating.
The youth was clearly pissed off.
Since he knew that his father definitely wouldn't support him, he didn't dare to create too big of a problem for Long Qian Xing.
"Oh right, the merchant group… will be handled by me in the future." Lin Yuan was a bit lost when he heard that his father wanted to delegate the entire group in his hand. He was still young and felt that it should be his father who lead him. But hearing his father's words, he felt a bit lost.
"That's a good idea."
"What do you mean by that? I'm only good at conning women." Lin Yuan was annoyed.
Long Qian Xing was speechless.
Well, it was true that Lin Yuan had a glib tongue in front of women and somehow often managed to convince them to buy some luxury goods. It was quite astonishing, considering the fact that they were still in the states of war.
Though for some nobles, there was indeed no differences.
They were still living in the same states as they used to be. If there was any difference, that would be the fact that they were unable to go out freely. But it was never a problem for them.
"Are you afraid? Your father had long wanted to give it to you, right?"
Lin Yuan snorted. "I'll be much happier if my father didn't try to push me to this position. I'm not sure about whether I can do it or not."
"You can try to establish more connections by yourself. I can help you by introducing you to my friends." Long Qian Xing looked at Lin Yuan and smirked. "But of course, it wouldn't be for free."
"You should have become a merchant rather than a commander, Young Master Long."
"I don't want to run business again."
"Again?"
Long Qian Xing realized that he had slipped out. In the modern world, he was the son of a rich corporation owner. Being the rebel, he chose to venture by himself and started business by himself. It caused his father to be angered because his son didn't want to inherit his business.
… Well, it was something that he didn't want to remember.
He had been scolded numerous times but didn't care too much about it. Now that he was in different world, he could choose a different career and definitely he would not want to become a businessman again.
It was enough.
"I tried it in the past." Long Qian Xing glossed it over.
It was Lin Yuan's turn to be confused. From what he knew Long Qian Xing was around 4 years younger than him and had been sent to the battlefield when the latter was only around 10 or 11 years old. He stayed there for an entire year before sent back to the Capital City.
If Long Qian Xing were to start business… did he start it when he was younger than 10?
Wasn't he too busy with martial arts at that time?
With Long Qian Xing's current skill, no one would believe him that he didn't devote his entire childhood to study martial arts.
But of course, he didn't dare to ask because Lin Yuan could guess that Long Qian Xing would beat him up if he was to cross the line.
…
The next day, Old Master Nan led the soldiers to bring the survivors to Heng Xing City and instructed them to help them settle down. In any case, the city would have an increase in population and the officials had no other choice but to help them settle down.
Old Master Nan had no intention of staying here, so he led the soldiers to return.
And this time, Long Qian Xing would follow.
"Young Commander Long, you're going to go back too?" Old Master Nan asked in suspicious tone.
Long Qian Xing nodded. "I was originally on my way to return. It's a coincidence that we run to each other, General Nan."
"I see. It's indeed a coincidence." Old Master Nan knew that they were originally taking a different route. Because of the sudden emergency, they ended up traveling together and worked together to settle it down.
Now that it was over, they would return to the Capital City.
"Do you mind if I go with you, General Nan?"
