Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“Not yet.” Prime Minister Lei shook his head.

“Then, I’m going back to sleep.”

Prime Minister Lei looked at the other party unkindly. Those who had talents were all eccentric people and he could testify that all of them were also annoying b******.

If not for Zhang Xu Kingdom, he would never try to search for them because of their annoying nature. But then again, it was only by interacting with them that Prime Minister Lei learned many new things he never thought of before.

“The soldiers that have been trained didn’t work as well as expected. Is it because the method is imperfect?” Prime Minister Lei looked at the report in his hand and felt that it was really annoying.

He had planned for this for so many years and kept their existences a secret. However, the people from Fei Yang Kingdom still found out in the end.

“They worked well at the north. The problem is Fei Yang Kingdom’s intelligence.” Strategist Mang yawned. “Even if you try to limit their existence, there’s no way that everyone truly didn’t know about them.”

Prime Minister Lei didn’t answer.

He thought about the few problems that had cropped up in Zhang Xu Kingdom and sighed. The politician at the court didn’t seem to be able to settle the problem after it was brought up. No matter how many sessions they had, the problems still end up being unresolved in the end.

There were times when he thought that those politicians were useless. But it was also impossible to completely remove them all.

Who would replace them if they were removed.

“We’re lacking in talented people.”

Strategist Mang arched his eyebrows. “Are you planning on implementing the examination system like what Fei Yang Kingdom did?”

Since many years ago, the officials in Fei Yang Kingdom could only become an official if they passed the examination. It was a system that was implemented by Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather, Emperor Huan, in the middle of his reign.

Alongside with several other improvements, this system could be passed and implemented fully.

But Zhang Xu Kingdom was different.

The nobilities here were powerful and had long history. How could they be willing to give up their position and let those people who came out of nowhere trampled their places?

That was why it was harder for talented people with ordinary background to shine in Zhang XU Kingdom. The difference in culture, systems, administration, and many others prevented it.

“It wouldn’t work unless they’re being recommended by someone to enter the court. And those greedy $%^<&*(#$<%^&*(>#$% will never allow them to come forward.” Prime Minister Lei sneered.

Strategist Mang said nothing. He knew how much Prime Minister hated those officials based on how this man cursed on them so openly. But then again, if he was in Prime Minister Lei’s position, he would feel the same.

The two of them came from different kingdoms many years ago.

Separately.

They only met in Zhang Xu Kingdom and due to their somewhat similar situation and capabilities, they ended up working together. However, Prime Minister Lei had more ambitions and willing to do many things in order to achieve it.

“The problem right now is how to deal with them who knows how to hold these special people back.”

“There had to be a limit at how they limit us. We just to adjust our strategy.” Strategist Mang then yawned again.

Prime Minister Lei looked at Strategist Mang coldly. If it was so easy, he would have never let General Wei gained any advantage against him in this battle. He looked at the map and report in front of him, busy thinking about how to settle this problem.

The night passed quietly.

When it was morning, General Chi was the first to wake up and headed to the frontline. For the past few days, he handed the matter of his son, Chi Song Hui, to Mu Sheng Xi. Even though he didn’t want to hurt his son, he definitely couldn’t prevent others from doing the same.

It was even more so because he’s now in Fei Yang Kingdom’s side.

Because of that, General Chi allowed Mu Sheng Xi to keep on challenging Chi Song Hui. Not long ago, Mu Sheng Xi even managed to injure Chi Song Hui. It was estimated that Chi Song Hui might not even be present in today’s battle because of that.

“Prepare for battle.”

“Yes, General Chi!”

ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm The soldiers walked to their position. Their commanders were somewhat tenser because they heard of the plan that General Chi and Long Qian Xing suggested just yesterday.

If the plan successful, they could press forward and enter deeper into Zhang Xu Kingdom’s territory.

That would be a great advancement in this battle that had been stalled for some time.

Thus, they were afraid of making mistake.

Gong!

“CHARGEEEEEEEE!”

Along with the war cry was the soldiers running to the opposite direction, crashing directly towards Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers under General Shang.

General Shang looked at General Chi and snorted. “You wouldn’t be able to get past me with such lousy skill.”

“I thought that the one with lousier skill is you, General Shang.”

“Heh.”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing filled the area once more.

It was a common sight by now and the soldiers were doing their best to fight for their kingdom. No one was willing to back down.

“Over here! Faster!” Feng Ao Si yelled as he swung his sword to the enemies in front of him, opening the path to the front very quickly. With his robust strength, it was easy for him to do something like this.𝓞𝒱𝐞𝓁𝒩xt.𝒸𝑜𝗆

“Follow First Young Commander Feng!” Dai also yelled.

UOoooo!

Feng Ao Si looked at the front and gritted his teeth. Upon seeing the row of soldiers wearing heavy armor in front of him, his eyes sparkled.

Finally.

“CRUSH THEM ALL!”
