Long Qian Xing sighed deeply in his heart.

It seemed that there were more and more things that he had to do. When he thought that his time with Nan Hua would be reduced because of this matter, Long Qian Xing gave a bad look on Song Chuan.

Song Chuan laughed dryly. “Well, I don’t have much influence in military matters…”

To be honest, if he could order the soldiers directly, he didn’t need to come and asked Long Qian Xing for help.

But the problem is…

These generals and commanders would not be willing to listen to the words of a newly appointed governor. Moreover, Song Chuan’s achievement in the past was not loud and his name was not that well known.

For these battle hardened veterans…

Well, it was hard for Song Chuan to convince them to listen to him.

If it was the guards of Cheng City, they would still be willing to listen to him to a certain degree. When Song Chuan had some works in Cheng City, they would naturally cooperate because it was their work.

But if Song Chuan were talking about other soldiers and commanders outside Cheng City..

Hehehe.

It would be good enough if they didn’t beat him up or ignore him directly.

Many of these commanders had some background and for Song Chuan, whose backing couldn’t be said to be very big because he couldn’t expose his relationship with Long Qian Xing, it was more likely for him to be ignored.

So the best way for Song Chuan to solve this matter would be to ask for Long Qian Xing’s help.

There was also another problem, which was the jurisdiction’s area.

Song Chuan is the governor in Cheng City, so he was technically not allowed to touch other areas because it would cross the authorities of the governor in that city or cities around it.

But it was different if a general or a commander take a move personally.

Because Emperor Yang Zhou’s policy allowed these generals a certain degree of freedom. They could even launch a battle without the need to report first and only needed to give the report after everything was over.

With such big power, there was no way that these small governors and officials could control these generals and commanders.

They were not worthy.

Long Qian Xing was also a general who had made a lot of contribution for Fei Yang Kingdom. With his name rang loud and clear all over Fei Yang Kingdom, no one could say anything even if Long Qian Xing were to start a sudden expedition to the west.

“You need to start building your name.” Long Qian Xing looked at Song Chuan with some displeasure.

If Song Chuan could not stand on his own, how did he plan to control the officials in Cheng City?

These people were all greedy b*stards and many of them would not be willing to listen to Song Chuan’s words if he didn’t have enough weight and reputation.

And it was impossible for Song Chuan to use Long Qian Xing’s name.

With how much power the Long Family has at this moment, there was no way Long Qian Xing would add more things on the surface. There was already more than enough people who wanted him to die that it was really troublesome.

So some things were better left unsaid and hidden.

In this way, Long Qian Xing would be able to protect his family better too.

“I know.” Song Chuan coughed and then took out a bamboo scroll. “These are the officials who might have leaked out your information and planted spies. The others either didn’t have any reason, no opportunity, or no abilities.”

Even though there were two big families in Cheng City, other families were also making a move and tried their best to establish themselves in Cheng City.

There were not many people there, but each and every single one of them were really troublesome.

After all, Great General Nan had done some cleansing in Cheng City.

Those that left were mostly the powerful ones that either didn’t provoke the Nan Family or the Nan Family didn’t want the matter to be so troublesome and provoked these people.

“Good.” Long Qian Xing nodded in satisfaction.

This was a matter that he had considered but not completely certain yet.

The northern tribe was so far away from Cheng City and it was impossible for them to know the situation in this city so quickly. The best way for them to do it was through cooperating with people who have been in Cheng City for a long time.

There were still many noble families in Cheng City.

After all, Great General Nan couldn’t possibly exterminate everyone. The scene back then was already big enough but it didn’t destroy the roots of Cheng City. He had to take care of the overall situation.

As the general of Fei Yang Kingdom, Old Master Nan still knew his limit.

“That should be all,” Song Chuan said with a smile.

Long Qian Xing nodded and then said, “You can continue to do your work.”

“Yes!”

“Before you leave, my wife left a bamboos scroll for your son to study.” Long Qian Xing looked at Song Yi Nan and then asked, “Are you not planning to let your first son to be the one to inherit the family?”

The tradition in this era was for the first son to inherit the family’s name and so on. His siblings definitely could only get lower ranked nobility and some of them couldn’t even be a noble.

Song Yi Nan is Song Chuan’s second child, so Long Qian Xing didn’t understand why Song Chuan let this brat heard their conversation today.

“He’s your wife’s disciple,” Song Chuan replied helplessly. “There might be time when he come into contact with some inevitable information. I think it’s better to let him get used to it first.”

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

He honestly doubted it.

“And if I plan to send a son in law, it’s better for him to know what kind of den he’s entering…” Song Chuan muttered in a low voice.

Long Qian Xing’s face turned black.
