Chapter 2283: Song Yun Xiang and General Ning
General Ning knew all of that.
She didn't say anything on the surface because she knew that there was nothing much that she could do. Her family was not the most influential family in Fan Yi Kingdom and the other generals and commanders on the battlefield would not be willing to help much.
Maintaining the status quo seemed to be good.
At least, it used to be good.
The war with Fei Yang Kingdom broke out and the things that she hoped to stay the same couldn't remain the same anymore.
Great General Wei was getting more vigorous, rushing towards Fan Yi Kingdom and conquering cities after cities.
General Ning also struggled hard.
But with the restraint from its side and also her limited capability, there were not much that General Ning could do in the end. This battle could be said to be her last chance to do something for Fan Yi Kingdom, to push Fei Yang Kingdom back and turned the tide in the battle.
Unfortunately, she was not strong enough.
The battle plan that they had prepared before were simply far from enough to face Fei Yang Kingdom's attack.
They lost miserably in the end.
Besides...
"I don't want to complain so much, but Fan Yi Kingdom has its advantage and disadvantage," General Ning said slowly. "Of course, if you're asking whether I want to stay in Fan Yi Kingdom or not, then I would say leave it to fate."
When they were about to fight and ignored Temporary General Wei's battle plan, General Ning had known that things wouldn't be good. And Song Yun Xiang had warned her at that time.
That if they chose this way, they might not be able to return.
But returning...
Ah...
General Ning sighed.
"If it's possible, I hope my family will not face persecution if I choose to change my side," General Ning said slowly. She looked at Song Yun Xiang and then smiled. "But aside from that, I don't have much thoughts."
Song Yun Xiang was looking at General Ning carefully.
He was different from Yan Jin Nian, who was extremely sensitive to people's faint micro expression and so on. However, years of dealing with many people still allowed him to be able to see when someone in front of him was lying or not.
Moreover, he knew General Ning quite well after being friends for so many years. He knew General Ning's small habits when she was lying.
And this time...
She was saying the truth.
"I see." Song Yun Xiang nodded. "The city where your parents are located are not within Fan Yi Kingdom anymore, right?"
"It's among the few abandoned cities." General Ning nodded.
She had heard that General Jin retreated and several cities were abandoned. Thankfully, her city was located nearer to the middle so it was not attacked by the northern tribe. If the winter had been longer, these people might come to the city where her parents were located.
At that time, General Ning might want to rush forward and help them instead.
Now that the northern tribe had retreated, it was Fei Yang Kingdom who slowly but surely conquered these cities. But since their main focus was to penetrate deeper, these cities were still in the 'unowned' state for the time being.
There was not much danger.
General Ning didn't have much hope, but she knew that Fei Yang Kingdom was not like those b*stard who would use the family members of the generals.
But she would be lying if she said that she was not disappointed in Fan Yi Kingdom's action. It was just that her rationality told her that the current situation was not good and it was indeed impossible for them to do anything.
"I can talk to them about this," Song Yun Xiang said.
He had heard General Ning talked about her family before, but he didn't pay close attention to it. After all, he had no intention of meeting them in the past. The conversation he had with General Ning also mostly about work and nothing else.
But now that they were 'prisoners' who were about to turn to Fei Yang Kingdom's side, it was time to pay more attention.
"How about your family members?" General Ning asked.
"I'm technically an 'orphan' that's brought up by Great General Ji," Song Yun Xiang answered calmly.
For the so called parents and relatives, Song Yun Xiang treated them as non existent. With the childhood he had, he was not even sure whether they were still alive or not. Besides, their behavior of leaving a child behind had made his heart turn cold.
He was not a person who cared too much about others. With his memory returning, he was even more colder about this.
Because his parents in his previous lives cared for him greatly.
Song Yun Xiang was also resistant of calling someone else as his father, mother, or relatives.
It was good enough that he had treated Great General Ji as his Master because the latter took him in and taught him many things.
"Your senior brothers...?" General Ning asked.
"I asked them to keep them alive," Song Yun Xiang replied. "They're still my senior brothers, so I'll ask for a chance. If they didn't treasure this chance well, then I'll not care about them
anymore."
He was not close to his senior brothers who often bullied him. Some of them were not the few people who bullied, but they were also bystanders. But since they were his senior brothers, he was still willing to ask for a chance.
If they choose to be loyal to Fan Yi Kingdom and try to threaten Fei Yang Kingdom in any way, then Song Yun Xiang would not care about them anymore.
He had no time to care about it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I see." General Ning nodded and didn't seem to be surprised by Song Yun Xiang's coldness. After interacting with Song Yun Xiang for a while, she also knew about his personality and some of his way of thinking.
