Chapter 2658: The Tribes (2)

“Long Qian Xing, how many tribes from the north tribes do you know?” Nan Hua asked as she was sorting out the information that she received.

Since she has just given birth to her daughter, she was still staying in her room with her daughter sleeping not far from her. Long Qian Xing himself was also not far away, sorting out the information that his men gathered.

Different from Nan Hua who had extensive intelligent gathering organization, Long Qian Xing had a lot of connections in the military. He simply sent some letters to them to ask for information.

But since many of them were far away, it would take some time for their letters to arrive.

Only those nearby had sent their letters to the Long Family Residence so far.

After all, Long Qian Xing didn’t have the letter delivery system like Nan Hua that could send message so quickly.

“Only one, the one that General Yang has been facing so far,” Long Qian Xing replied. “General Gao had told me about the tribes he faced, but these people often use different tactics, so he was often overwhelmed.”

General Yang and General Gao were responsible in different area on the north border.

The two of them only gathered together not long ago because they have some discussion. Coupled with the fact that General Yang fell sick some time ago… well, to be exact, he was poisoned, he hadn’t left yet.

He wanted to make sure that his old friend could handle the war this time.

“Are they not different tribes?” Nan Hua asked.

“General Gao didn’t know because he’s not the only general there.” Long Qian Xing shook his head and added, “He told me that there used to be two other generals but the two of them had passed away, so it’s impossible to ask even if we want to.”

One of the generals died in the battle with the northern tribe before Fei Yang Kingdom conquered Fan Yi Kingdom while the other one died because he refused to side with Fei Yang Kingdom. For this matter, there was nothing that Long Qian Xing could say to them.

People were free to choose their allegiance.

But for those who were loyal to Fan Yi Kingdom, it was impossible for Emperor Yang Zhou to reuse them.

The only thing that he could do was to kill them.

It could be considered as respect for their loyalty to their master.

Because in the face of death, there were also many people who would not stay loyal to their master and would care about their life more. Some of them were trustworthy and some others could only be used to a certain degree.

Human relationship is complicated.

This was something that Long Qian Xing understood very well, especially because he had done a lot of businesses in the past.

But it didn’t matter right now.

The most important thing that they needed is information.

“Their soldiers?”

“The information are incomplete and General Gao had sorted them out but failed to get anything good. However, the tribe that has been facing General Yang so far is known as Kai Tribe. They’re a large tribe with thousands of warriors and the main reason why they attack Fei Yang kingdom is because of their large population.

They need food to feed so many people and the situation on the north is not very friendly for them. The best way for them to get food is to plunder it from people who could grow food… which is Fan Yi Kingdom in the past and now Fei Yang Kingdom.”

Long Qian Xing sighed.

The war between the northern tribe and Fan Yi Kingdom had lasted for so many years. Considering that the two sides could never determine the winner all these years, Long Qian Xing could guess that the Kai Tribe should be very powerful.

At least, they could protect their people and made sure that they would not make any terrible mistake when they were fighting.

Only when they have a lot of people surviving would it be possible for their tribe to continue thriving.

“Kai Tribe…” Nan Hua murmured and nodded.

Unlike Long Qian Xing who could ask the generals easily, Nan Hua definitely couldn’t come forward unless she used the identity of General Jun. But it would be too troublesome to explain how she managed to know them and all.

So Nan Hua didn’t try to ask more about the people from General Yang’s side.

“There are three tribes on the west areas that are most active…” Nan Hua explained what Si Bai had found out and then told to his father. Si Mo Fan naturally delivered the letter to Nan Hua so that she knew more about the northern tribe.

Other information would be delivered soon enough.

Hearing that there might be a lot of spies from the northern tribe, Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. “It seems that I have to clean up the Long Family Residence first.”

Their schedule and what happened in the Long Family Residence should have been a secret, a secret that no one knew.

But when Nan Hua suddenly had childbirth labor, many people seemed to know about it and immediately made their moves. Most of these people were already tortured to death under Long Qian Xing’s hand, but the information they knew were limited.

It was because they only knew how to do their order.

As for who gave the order and how they managed to find out, these people didn’t know at all.

It was really troublesome.

“Yes…” Nan Hua nodded.

“You should rest more and don’t go out for the time being.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua with some distress. She looked a bit haggard even after resting for a day. It would be impossible for her to go out for the time being.

“I know.”

Nan Hua was silently calculating the time.

It was already autumn and in a month or two, she was sure that Long Qian Xing would have to go to the battlefield again.
