Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

As of now, Fei Yang Kingdom was the only kingdom who had adopted this series of method. And Nan Hua knew that with the establishment of law, it could also restrict the action of these commanders after they had conquered other cities and kingdom.

They were no longer like bandits that will steal these people’s resources, women, and others.

But instead, they were trying to implement the law and make these people live in accordance to how the people in Fei Yang Kingdom live. As time passed, this habit and structure will be slowly ingrained in their bones.

It wouldn’t be easy.

After all, they had lived in accordance to the way they wanted for so many years and the law was different for many places.

With the establishment of this law, it would follow the same set of rules implemented in the entire kingdom.

Nan Hua didn’t know the detail.

But she had heard from her grandfather that it would be a bit different in the future in some areas. For some others, it would be the same and didn’t affect them too much in their lives.

Thud!

“Does anyone willing to explain the reason for the attack?” Long Qian Xing looked at the group of farmers in front of him. Their number was not that many, at most only 100. It was far cry from their army.

Yet, this group of farmers tried to attack them. It was the same as courting death.

Based on their number and appearance, they should be from a village nearby.

“You’re not protecting us like the agreement!”

“The bandits are taking all of our food!”

“How can we live like this!”

The farmers were all already enraged and began to yell.

Long Qian Xing sighed and recalled that his other subordinates were waiting in Yi City. Only Lou, who was his personal bodyguard, was following him all the time. He took his time listening to these people as they began to vent their distress.

As it turned out, during this period of time, there were several bandits attack to the villages, pillaging their resources and stealing their women. They were angry because the soldiers didn’t come as they hoped.

They had nearly lost hope and when they saw them, they just thought that they were from Da Yi City but didn’t listen to them.

Thus, they were angered.

The other young commanders also heard about the matter and felt perplexed. Bandits have such a good sense of time and knew that at this point of time, there was no army that can take care of the farmers?

“It might be the result of Zhang Xu Kingdoms’ people who sneaked in.” Long Qian Xing looked at the border, his eyes narrowed. While arranging soldiers to charge into their territory would be difficult, sneaking one or two people were not that hard.

This was not like world with technology where the border will be guarded very strictly that not even ants can pass. There were many loopholes and sneaking people inside were possible. Not to mention, there was nothing such as ID card or anything like that.

As long as these people didn’t enter big cities that required them to present their family token or someone who could guarantee their identity, they can just stay in small villages and blend in there. Sooner or later, they would have new identity that was provided by the people who stayed there.

Thus, it was easier to fake identity in this era.

The documents were not complete and it was hard to ask for the people from the villages to present any. Many of them were not even illiterate and most of the documents they needed to sign will only give a hand print.

Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead. “First of all, the matter of the bandits had to be settled. However, we’re all also under the mission to take Prince Wei Da Lang’s head back to Yi City. What do you think we should do?”

“Fight.” Nan Luo had no hesitation. He felt that the mission could still delay a few more days. At most, the head would stink a bit more but there were no other problems. The fact that Prince Wei Da Lang had died was already known by a lot of people at Yi City.

They only need to bring the head because it would bring more sense of realness.

Or something like that.

Anyway, they still have enough time.

The report was already sent earlier than their arrivals because they needed to go together with the soldiers. Their mission was basically already half over.

The Emperor wouldn’t arrive in Yi City that fast. They should be able to deal with the bandits before the required time.

“Deal with them. I hate bandits, especially those that had been influenced by Zhang Xu Kingdom.” Sheng Shan Lang’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

He was born in village and had already seen how important it was for the villagers to have food to eat. For them, being able to stay in their home, worked on the field, and enjoyed the crops were the good life they had.

And bandits were the people who stole their hard work with violence.

He hated them.

When he was young, he wanted to fight against them, but he couldn’t. It was also then he saw the soldiers fought against the bandits, pushing them back, that he grew longing to become a soldier.

To be someone who could protect the people around him, especially the people in the village where he lived.

“I’ll follow.” Feng Ao Si nodded.𝑜𝗏𝓵xt.𝕔𝞸𝗆

He didn’t have much opinion in this matter regarding the mission. Anyway, the one who usually worry about the deadline or something was Dai. What he wanted was to fight these bandits because they had made trouble in this area.

Anyway, as a soldier, he should protect them, right?

If Dai were to know what Feng Ao Si was thinking, he might want to reconsider to resign.
