Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

After Long Qian Xing was done talking with Nan Hua, he naturally went back to his army. He hadn’t left for that long and while some other commanders were curious where he went, he simply reasoned that he took a detour because he saw suspicious person but it was a false alarm.     

This thing happened from time to time. The others wouldn’t think too much when Long Qian Xing gave this reason.     

After he had dealt with some annoying people, Long Qian Xing returned to his camp area. He saw Lin Yuan, the merchant who used to receive help from him in the past and also his good friend, was guffawing with his soldiers.     

He arched his eyebrows.     

“You sure have a good time, Lin Yuan.”     

Lin Yuan’s body stiffened when he heard Long Qian Xing’s words. The soldiers in front of him were not any better. They quickly said that they were busy and ran away, leaving Lin Yuan there.     

No one wanted to face Long Qian Xing when he was giving his ‘devil’ smile.     

“Haha, you’re back, Qian Xing…” Lin Yuan let out an awkward laugh.     

Long Qian Xing snorted. “You’ve been staying at the north for so many years. I even heard that you build the new trade road that’s more beneficial for you.”     

“Oh, right. Yes, I did.” Lin Yuan grinned. “It’s so hard to make them open their door but with money, everything is possible!”     

“Then you should use that money to get a wife since your father had been pestering you for a grandson.”     

Lin Yuan was speechless.     

Why did he feel that Long Qian Xing was even more ruthless than usual?     

He didn’t happen to have his…     

*cough*     

That was just nonsense.     

“Tsk, you didn’t even miss me when I purposely take a detour here before departing to the South.” Lin Yuan clicked his tongue.     

Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes. He crossed his arms. “I remember that you promised Hua’er that you’re going to buy her medical books from the north, am I right?”     

Lin Yuan was speechless once more.     

He swore that when he gave that promise to Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing was miles away from where they were. There was no way that Long Qian Xing would have known that short conversation between him and Nan Hua normally.     

“How did you…?”     

“You take an extremely long time in order to gather the books and the news spread. I don’t think you’re someone who have interest in medical books, so I guessed that they’re for Hua’er.” Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.     

Yet, Lin Yuan felt chills from deep within his bones. He really wanted to curse his subordinates seven generations right now. Back when he asked them to search for medical books for sale, he had reminded them to do it covertly and make sure that no one knew about it.     

But now he realized that Long Qian Xing seemed to have long known about this.     

He felt that his intelligence and capability was really far from Long Qian Xing.         

“I did. I was originally planning to give it to her, but I heard that she’s missing.” Lin Yuan shrugged.     

The official record for Nan Hua was not that she was dead but she was missing. After the earth shattering storm in the Capital City that was caused by Old Master Nan’s anger, it was said that he went to search for his granddaughter.     

Thus, everyone could guess that Nan Hua was actually still alive.     

They even suspected that Old Master Nan actually knew where she was but acted as if he didn’t know anything.     

But of course, for such a small matter, no one dared to confront Old Master Nan and asked the question in front of his face.     

Firstly, they would get beaten up.     

Secondly, they would get beaten up again.     

Thirdly, they would be punished by their family with another beating.     

Since it was a three package of beating, no one dared to actually came forward. No one wanted to receive this treatment. They still valued their bodies.     

“Where is it?”     

“You know where she is?” Lin Yuan asked suspiciously.     

“Give it to me.”     

“I don’t bring it here!” Lin Yuan was speechless. “I heard that she’s missing when I was still at the north, so I left it at the warehouse that I bought. If you want it, you can send your subordinate to take it from there. I’ll give you the address.”     

“Sure.”     

Lin Yuan sighed. “Make sure that you don’t touch the others. I worked hard to gather them all for so many years. If you smash even one of them….”     

Long Qian Xing listened patiently as Lin Yuan nagged. Internally, he wondered whether Lin Yuan was affected by those aunties.     

He was nagging like them.     

When Long Qian Xing got the address, he was speechless. He looked at Lin Yuan and silently wondered just what did he do in that area? Even if his men wanted to infiltrate there, it would take many days or even weeks.     

“How did you enter here?”     

“I accidentally saved someone from inside.” Lin Yuan grinned. “I’m great, ain’t I?”     

“Introduce me to them later.”     

“Are you sure they’ll want to meet with a 4000 men commander from Fei Yang Kingdom?”     

“That’s your problem.”     

How is that my problem?

Lin Yuan was utterly speechless. He felt that his friend was really moody today that he didn’t know what to say anymore.         

He waved his hand. “I’m going to the south area, so don’t expect me to head there anytime soon. I heard that they’re planning to enter the southern mountainous area with the villagers, so they will need a lot of clothes.”     

When Lin Yuan thought about that, his eyes shone with money mark inside his pupil. It was clear that he was thinking how much money he would be able to earn from this matter alone.     

Long Qian Xing shook his head and handed the address to one of his men, giving them order to retrieve the medical books and only medical books.
