Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother, who had laid on the bed and closed his eyes. He can sleep easily because that was how they were all trained. In order to ensure that he will be on his best condition, they learned how to sleep within seconds.

“Sleep tight.”

Pulling the blanket to cover Nan Luo properly, Nan Hua looked at her twin brother once more before heading to her bed. She was staying in the tent right behind Nan Luo’s tent, which was extremely close. If anything were to happen to either one of them, the other will definitely know.

…

<Wei Da Kingdom’s Capital City, the Palace>

Bang!

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was calm, but it couldn’t be said to be the same on the opposite side. The Emperor was looking at the continuous battle reports that were handed on his desk and felt despair from the bottom of his heart.

“Defend! Defend no matter what!” The Emperor of Wei Da Kingdom roared angrily.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The officials were all also feeling desperate. All they could hope was that their majestic wall that protected their capital city will be able to protect them from the attacks launched by Fei Yang Kingdom.

“Your Majesty, the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom camped in nearby area. Do you wish to launch a sneak attack at night?” one of the officials asked carefully.

“No! We’re not opening the gate!” The Emperor of Wei Da roared angrily.

The gate was completely sealed since a few days ago with big rocks that would be hard to move. This was the protection that they believed would be able to protect their gate and also the Capital City.

No one wanted to die.

“River General Kui, you have the full control of the soldiers! Stop them at all cost!” The Emperor roared.

River General Kui cupped his fist. His lowered eyes were filled with the blazing fire of revenge. It has been a while since he could clash directly with those from Fei Yang Kingdom.

This time, he will repay all the grievances he had suffered before several thousand’s fold.

The Emperor gave several more orders to the other officials who were present at the Capital City. He was feeling desperate and even raised some people to the rank of General just in order to face Fei Yang Kingdom.

But these people were not exactly qualified to be a general.

In the end, only River General Kui was the true leader in this capital city.

“The meeting is over.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The officials walked out of the palace’s hall and looked outside bitterly. This was one of the rare times when they would not feel tired at all after they had to stay holed in the meeting room until night time.

Even now, they didn’t think that they could rest easily.𝒐𝓥𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

River General Kui didn’t pay attention to these officials and instead walked back to his home. After he had arrived, the first thing he did was to find his son, who had been waiting for him.

Young Commander Kui saw his grandfather and immediately bowed and cupped his fist, “Grandfather.”

“It’s good that you’re safe.” River General Kui suppressed his feeling and nodded at Young Commander Kui. His other children and grandchildren were not accomplished as Strategist Kui and Young Commander Kui.

In fact, some of them were even poorer and had already died at the battlefield. Towards those useless children, River General Kui didn’t care that much.

Now that he saw one of his most promising descendant was still alive, he felt a bit relieved.

“Grandfather, Father…”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” River General Kui’s eyes were filled with unconcealed hatred. When he heard that the one who killed his son was also the same person who had wounded him, he almost lost it.

This small person who should have been buried at the battlefield was constantly lingering at his back.

This made him uncomfortable.

And in the next battle with Fei Yang Kingdom, he will kill that damn adjutant if he had the chance. There was no way he would want to leave such a troublesome opponent alive.

“Yes, Grandfather.” Young Commander Kui cupped his fist and lowered his eyes. There was a trace of ruthlessness within his eyes.

…

<Dawn>

Soldiers from both sides were waking up one after another. On the eve of such big battle, not many people could sleep soundly. Only a few of them would be able to stay calm when they were about to face such a big battle.

<Long Qian Xing’s Tent>

“Young Master, it’s time for the battle.” Lou could still smell the incense that Long Qian Xing used and felt a bit helpless. This young master of his still needed to use incense stick to help him sleep.

If others were to know, it will be quite troublesome.

“Tell the soldiers to prepare for battle.” Long Qian Xing was sitting at the edge of his bed. He looked at the now burnt incense stick not far from him and the corner of his lips curled up.

‘I’ll be autumn soon, Hua’er. I hope you remember the promise.’

Taking a deep breath, Long Qian Xing then walked out of his tent.

<Nan Luo’s Tent>

Thunk!

“You need to wake up,” Nan Hua said indifferently towards her twin brother.

Nan Luo rubbed his bottom, which landed on the ground because of Nan Hua’s rough treatment. “Can’t you use gentler way to wake your brother up?”

“You’re not waking up at all.”

Nan Luo was speechless. But thinking about the dream he had, he had a feeling that he might not be able to wake up because of it…

Nan Hua didn’t know what Nan Luo was thinking and didn’t care either. “Your soldiers are waiting for you, Young Commander Nan.”

“Got it!”

<Feng Ao Si’s Tent>

Splash!

“Whaaaa!”

Gubrak!

Falling to the ground, Feng Ao Si had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Dai sighed deeply. “Young Master, it’s time for battle.”
