Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

And when it was dinner time, Long Qian Xing came to join them.

“I hope you all have good rest today,” Long Qian Xing said as he looked at the three people in front of him, but his gaze lingered on Nan Hua the longest. What he was worried about was her wrist and whether it would affect her performance.

“Thank you for your care, General Xing, this adjutant’s injury had gotten better,” Nan Hua replied and clasped her fist.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Long Qian Xing waved his hand, his eyes showed relief and distress.

Nan Lou looked at the two of them interacting and felt that the words he was about to say was blocked in his throat. He clearly wanted to tell the two of them that they shouldn’t interact too much on the surface, but he couldn’t bear to do it.

When the thought crossed his mind, Nan Luo felt upset.

He truly felt that Nan Hua was going to be taken away by Long Qian Xing the time he could spend with Nan Hua was getting lesser.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at these two and sighed internally. When they were young, Nan Hua didn’t mind them interfering because she had no feelings at all for Long Qian Xing. Even if he and Nan Luo made trouble, Nan Hua would just watch.

But now it’s different.

The relationship between Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing was getting better, so Feng Ao Kuai understood very well that he should learn to accept this cousin in law.

Long Qian Xing seemed to be able to perceive the other two’s complicated mood, so he didn’t speak much aside from the battle tactics for tomorrow. This made Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai felt that this young general was somewhat surprising.

But then again, it was for the best.

If Long Qian Xing were to treat Adjutant Nan the way he treated Nan Hua, the other soldiers would think that there was something wrong with their general.

…

The next few days were still fierce battles but Nan Hua rarely participated. She only helped Nan Luo a bit to clean up faster but most of the time, she would stay at the side, watching the changes that occurred on the battlefield.

Unless it was necessary, she didn’t want to hinder her twin brother’s growth.

On the eight day, there was fire in the forest and the battle had to be halted to stop the fire from spreading. While they were all fighting and had war, it was not to the point where they wanted to destroy nature.

It was only on the tenth day that the battle in the forest continued.

On the eleventh day, Zhang Xu Kingdom tried to do an all out war again because General Jue had recovered. However, it ended in failure. Still, Zhang Xu Kingdom managed to find out their headquarters’ location and they were prepared to move. 𝒪𝒱𝑙xt.𝐜𝚘𝓂

On the thirteen day, Sheng Shan Lang was officially retiring from the battle for the time being and had to stay with Feng Ao Kuai at the headquarters. He had a broken bone due to falling from the horse.

Some of the soldiers even dissed him, saying that he was stupider than Feng Ao Si.

“It’s not like I want to fall off the horse, okay?” Sheng Shan Lang was exasperated when he heard their mocking. He had no plan on injuring himself this badly either.

“Still, a commander falling off his horse in the battle is very bad.” Feng Ao Kuai shook his head. “You’re lucky you’re not trampled to death in that situation.”

Sheng Shan Lang rolled his eyes and refused to say anything else. This person in front of him is his future brother in law and also a very scary person. There was truly no point in arguing with the other party.

Only Feng Ao Si felt like crying. “Ao Kuai, can you stop using me as the standard for intelligence?”

“Unless you improved, I’ll continue to use you.” Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and narrowed his eyes.

Feng Ao Si shut his mouth wisely.

The others said nothing and continued with their activities.

The battle continued with no surprise and on the 17th day, they heard a piece of news that General Yu massacred several villages on the mountain and more than 10,000 people died in her hand. This piece of news traveled as if it had grown wings towards many areas.

It shocked everyone.

“The Mountain Queen is really savage.” Sheng Shan Lang shivered when he heard this piece of news.

The brutality of the mountain people had never been hidden. Not to mention, Yu Jin was also not hiding her cruel battle tactic and her ruthless behavior. Thus, they were not that surprised when they heard this piece of news.

Still, their heart felt cold,

They also felt fear.

“Is it really the correct decision to cooperate with the mountain tribe?” Mu Sheng Xi asked in a low voice.

“If we don’t cooperate with them, we have to fight them. Do you think Fei Yang Kingdom wanted to have another powerful enemy to face?” Feng Ao Kuai asked with a flat tone. Even if he was shocked inside, he showed none of it on the surface.

He knew very well that Nan Hua had a good relationship with Yu Jin from the Mountain Tribe. So he thought that there should be a reason as to why this Mountain Queen massacred so many people all of the sudden.

It was just that this was not their position to speak at all.

Feng Ao Si sighed. “True enough.”

The other two looked at each other and shook their head. In any case, they were glad that they didn’t have to fight against those ruthless people.

“Also, General Yu is not the first general to execute the civilians. There are many other generals who also do the same to the cities and villages they conquered.” Feng Ao Kuai shook his head.
