Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“He’s been in this area for a long period of time.” Feng Ao Kuai was a bit speechless. “I’m the one fighting against him before.”

“Ooo.” Feng Ao Si nodded absentmindedly.

He honestly thought that since General Chi is in Fei Yang Kingdom, Zhang Xu Kingdom would not arrange Chi Song Hui to fight them. After all, making the father and son clashed was not exactly a good situation.

But with the two of them present at the same battlefield at the opposite side, it could also provide them with other possibilities. It was strange that neither side seemed to be trying to separate them and instead make them clashes.

But the one who arranged General Chi to come this time was not Long Qian Xing.

It was arranged by the other higher ups.

“Is it fine to leave Young Commander Mu be?” Nan Luo asked. If the battle didn’t end for a long period of time, there was no chance for Mu Sheng Xi to come along with them. There was high possibility that Mu Sheng Xi would have to fight a separate battle and ended up missing the main performance.

“It shouldn’t take a long time for him.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. “Don’t worry too much about him and worry about yourself instead.”

Nan Luo was speechless.

Alright, he will focus more on his own career than other people’s career.

They continued to walk while talking about small matters from time to time. Soon, they reached their destination and they could also see that the opposite party was coming. They had to make their headquarter soon.

“Tomorrow will be the day of battle.”

Feng Ao Kuai then pointed to the forest. “You should go and scout the area. There might be some small armies waiting in ambush.”

“Got it.” Nan Luo grinned and waved his hand. Xiao Yan and the other adjutants quickly do their work and gathered enough men for them to depart. They would go and sweep the areas around this place.

Several other commanders also received the task, so Nan Luo picked a random direction and headed out. Nan Hua followed beside Nan Luo while looking at the forest around her. She had already visited Zhang Xu Kingdom in the past, but she hadn’t walked around.

After all, she was busy scheming against them back then.

The forest here was very lush and vast. It would be hard for them to traverse in this kind of forest without leaving any traces.

“It’s spring, so the forest is still a bit wet from the leftover snow.” Nan Luo clicked his tongue. “But it’ll dry soon enough. I heard that if you’re talking about the forest in Shi Long Kingdom, there will be a lot of rains.”

Nan Hua nodded. “Aside from Summer, there are usually rains there.”

“I wonder how hard it will be to fight in forest when it’s rain.” Nan Luo sighed deeply. He truly didn’t like fighting in the forest. His line of sight was severely limited in this kind of area, making it difficult for him to see his enemies.

“It’s not going to be easy.” Nan Hua tilted her head slightly. “You will have to adapt.”

“Ah, you want me to adapt?” Nan Luo was stunned.

“A great general can fight anywhere.”

Nan Luo was silent and a determined gaze flashed within his eyes. Whenever he thought about his grandfather and the feats that the three great generals achieved in the past, he always wished to be able to replicate or even surpass his grandfather.

In that case, he will work harder!

So much harder than what he had done now!

“Nan, are you going to aim to be a general too?”

“No.”

While many people might like to stand under the limelight, Nan Hua would rather shy away from it. She had no interest in this grand title that many people tried so hard to achieve.

“Hehe, ok.” Nan Luo chuckled. However, his expression turned tense as he looked into the distance and furrowed his eyebrows. “Xiao Yan.”

“I’ll go and check.”

Nan Hua stayed beside Nan Luo with no intention to help. She had noticed the appearance of these people but she just wanted to see how Nan Luo will do it. Without her presence, he will have to handle many things by himself.

She wanted to see his growth.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing could be heard.

“Surround them! Don’t let them get away!” Nan Luo yelled and ran towards the group of people in front of him. His expression was solemn as he ran as fast as possible towards these soldiers.

They were nimble as they had been staying in the forest for a long period of time. It was Nan Luo who was not used with the terrain that felt that running was really difficult.

Bang!

There was a sound of crashing from the front and Nan Luo saw that a group of his soldiers had already circled around. He smiled happily. “You did great, Xiao Yan.”

Xiao Yan shook his head. “They’re the advance group, Young Master. I didn’t do anything.”

“Still, bring them back. We have some questions for them.” Nan Luo pointed at the few people he managed to capture and kept his sword back. This short battle was not fun at all for him.

It ended before he could even make his move.𝑂𝗏𝐿𝐞xt.𝗰𝔬𝐦

With these people, Nan Luo was not in the mood to continue looking around. If not because it was necessary for him to scout the area, he would not have stayed here even for a second longer.

After checking the area and bumped with two more groups, Nan Luo brought the prisoners back. There were also some corpses on the forest but he let his men take care of them. In this era, it was the opponent’s head that was sometimes used as trophy for them to gain merit.

Cruel.

But what do you expect from war?

Nan Luo simply ignored it because he didn’t need it for his merit. The testimonies and result of his army was more than enough.
