Nan Luo didn't immediately reply again. He looked at Qiu Xian deeply and then asked another question, "How long have you been part of my army, Qiu Xian?"
"Yes?"
"Did you remember the time when you were assigned under my mand many years ago?"
Qiu Xian was originally an adjutant of another army. But because his mander died in the battle, he was assigned to Nan Luo and helped Nan Luo greatly. As a veteran soldier, Qiu Xian was more experienced than Nan Luo.
However, it was Nan Luo who was much better than him and grow as a mander. Thus, his role has been decreasing as Nan Luo's army grew.
"Yes?" Qiu Xian asked.
"Since you have been with me for so many years, I think you should know me quite well, Qiu Xian." Nan Luo took a deep breath. His eyes sharpened. "I don't accept people who are serving another person to be under my mand."
Qiu Xian was stunned and then gritted his teeth. Even though Nan Luo didn't say it outright, he knew very well that Nan Luo knew what he had done so far. The little tricks he did in the army was not unknown for Nan Luo.
Swish!
Clang!
Before Qiu Xian could even attack Nan Luo, the latter's sword had already rested beside his neck. In terms of reaction speed alone, Qiu Xian was not Nan Luo's match. The 17 years old Nan Luo was no longer the same bratty Nan Luo who had only started to step on the battlefield.
Nan Luo looked at Qiu Xian coldly. "From the moment you decided to leak out the news of my army, you're no longer worthy to be the soldier of Fei Yang Kingdom."
Qiu Xian looked at Nan Luo with gritted teeth. "I have no other choice! They…"
"You always have a choice." Nan Luo waved his hand and Xiao Yan came forward. "Take him away. Ask him in detail about the person who give him order."
"Yes, Young Master."
As Qiu Xian was taken away, Nan Luo looked into the distance and took a deep breath. For several years, he had been fighting side by side with Qiu Xian. When he was in danger and all, they cooperated together seamlessly.
Yet, it was the very same person who turned his back and sold the news taken from being part of his army.
"Young Master, Qiu Xian is being interrogated."
"Yeah. You can do it first. When Brother Ao Kuai e back, he will take care of the rest." Nan Luo knew that Qiu Xian was the one who told those people the whereabouts of their army and also Feng Ao Si's marriage date.
It was thanks to this that those people could prepare an attack not long after Feng Ao Si's marriage.
He was angry.
But the one who sold him was also the person who had been acpanying him in his growth all these years.
It hurts.
"Yes, Young Master." Xiao Yan looked at Nan Luo's palm and then looked away. He was not in the position to console the young master. All he could do was to make sure to finish his job properly.
"Qiu Xian's daughter… settle her in the nearby village."
Xiao Yan cupped his fist. "Yes, Young Master."
