Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Many of them would only made an appearance much later in the original story that followed Long Qian Xing. But today, most of them had already gathered and Nan Hua had recognized many of them.

After all, those who were famous were easy to recognize.

But there were still some people who were missing. After all, not everyone can come to Yi City and only their representative will come.𝓞𝑣𝓵xt.𝐂𝑜𝗆

For example, General Wei naturally didn’t come.

That general was busy fighting at the frontline because the border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom was not at peace. Prime Minister Lei had been trying to breach their defense many times and it was General Wei who contributed the most to maintain their border.

“His Majesty had arrived!”

The moment Emperor Yang Zhou came, everyone stood up and bowed to greet him in accordance to etiquette. After that, they started the reward ceremony by giving generous rewards to the generals who participated in the battle. All of them were given a raise in their nobility rank and a huge sum of money along with some increase in their lands.

‘Rise in nobility rank.’

Those generals who were not present but contributed in the defense all had obtained substantial reward. After all, they also have their own contribution towards this war.

And Old Master Nan was also included.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and could guess that her grandfather’s rank was once again raised to Grand Duke.

It seemed that Emperor Yang Zhou had long wanted to keep Old Master Nan’s nobility title back after the decrease many years ago.

And this was the good chance for him to do that.

She thought that Emperor Yang Zhou would keep Old Master Nan’s nobility rank as Duke, similar with the others. But he seemed to have other intentions, which Nan Hua was unclear by now.

Aside from the generals, they also gave reward based on some of the achievement. For example, General Long got another huge sum of money for killing General Gao at the battlefield and so on.

Of course, they only mentioned the achievement of killing generals or those above this rank.

Below that… it was not to be mentioned here.

“Now, we have come to special achievement reward. This is the reward for exceptional people who have performed out of expectation.” The minister was still holding the bamboo scroll and read the content.

“First, General Wei performed spectacularly in predicting the arrival of Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers at the north. He had specifically built fortress in order to defend the attack, foiling Zhang Xu Kingdom’s meticulous plan to enter Fei Yang Kingdom and stopped their attempt in halting us! For this achievement, General Wei will be given a raise in his military rank and also….”

The crowd cheer when they heard that.

After all, they knew that General Wei had performed spectacularly. But since the person himself didn’t come because he was busy at the border, only his representative came forward to receive the scroll reward from the Emperor.

Nan Hua was not surprised that General Wei was named once more.

In terms of defense, the one who contributed the most had to be General Wei. In the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom, he has always been the one who played pivotal role and thwarted their attempt to breach into Fei Yang Kingdom again and again.

Even in this war against Wei Da Kingdom, General Wei still played a role.

It was just that his role was at the back and not seen at the forefront. However, no one could deny that he was indeed suitable for this reward.

‘Who else will be named this time?’

Nan Hua was wondering.

She knew that there was basically no chance for herself to be named. After all, she had purposely keeping a low profile this time and didn’t do anything except helping Nan Luo a bit.

“Second, Mountain Queen Yu Jin performed spectacularly during this siege and proved her capabilities in stopping General Gui’s reinforcement. Even when thousands of soldiers charged forward, she didn’t back down and instead killed them all. For this achievement, Yu Jin will be named a general and will be able to freely fought on the frontline!”

Yu Jin stood up and walked to the front.

Before this, her status had always been wavering in Fei Yang Kingdom. After all, she was from the Mountain Tribe and some people didn’t like her. But with this status, it had stated that she was part of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Even if she only joined because of their offer at first, she had already tied her fate with them.

And with her contribution, it was not weird for her to be named.

Yu Jin stepped forward and many people were looking in her direction. She might as well be the first ever woman who was named as a general in Fei Yang Kingdom who came from other areas.

“Keep up the good work.” Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Yu Jin and calmly handed the scroll.

Yu Jin smiled and knelt on the ground before accepting the scroll. “I will.”

Perhaps, having a sense of belonging here was not that bad after all.

She has always been at the forefront, having to lead everyone in the Mountain Tribe to survive in the middle of many kingdoms. Now, she was part of Fei Yang Kingdom and will fight with them side by side.

It’s good.

“Third, Commander Long Qian Xing performed extremely well in defending against Wei Da Kingdom’s defense. He proposed the water tactic, forcing Wei Da kingdom to surrender as their strategic forces turned against them. With the flood occurring, it had effectively stopped many of their effective tactic. For this achievement, Commander Long Qian Xing will be given a raise in his military rank from 5000 men commander to a general. His nobility rank will be raised by one,….”

Nan Hua listened to the announcement and the corner of her lips raised slightly.

Finally, Long Qian Xing had achieved the first step to become a great general.

He had reached the rank of a general.
