Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Time passed quietly.

Before they knew it, the war had been going for nearly three months and it had entered deadlock in several places. Thus, both sides declared temporary ceasefire while they assessed the situation.

General Chi and Long Qian Xing managed to push General Shang back two times before they couldn’t advance anymore. Thus, they set up camp and played the good waiting game with General Shang.

General Yu, Yu Jin, was clashing against General Tou but failed to take over the mountain from him. Instead, it was reported that there were several landslides over the past two months in the mountain’s area.

This made the people who lived in villages nearby to be afraid to get out in fear they would be buried.

General Wei and Prime Minister Lei was also in a deadlock. Even after the special soldiers were introduced, it was impossible for Prime Minister Lei to push General Wei back. Thus, they were still in a deadlock.

Or perhaps, it could be called as waiting strategy.

Either way, Nan Hua only received the report and had no intention to help personally. What a person could do in such a large scale war was limited and Nan Hua had no intention to become an eyesore by performing so spectacularly.

At the border between Shi Long Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom in the middle area, General Shangguan and General Feng had been using dirty tactics. First, they switched the soldiers under their order, causing chaos and when the opponent was prepared, they switched again.

And then, they also making ambush again and again using the backup soldiers that Shangguan Xiao prepared. Their target was not to destroy the headquarter but simply to disrupt their balance before running back again, thus not many people died.

This caused their battle to be more heated than before.

Nan Hua even felt that Shangguan Xiao was actually trying to provoke the generals from Shi Long Kingdom. And knowing how hot headed the other party could be, she had guessed that there might be a large clash in the future.

But it was not her problem.

She received message from her twin brother, telling her that they would all be taking a few days’ leave for Feng Ao Si’s marriage. Thinking about it, he was supposed to be married in spring, but it had to be halted for nearly three months before he could go back.

It was almost summer now and the weather had gotten hotter.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm Nan Si Qiao was probably already so impatient that she urged her son to go back and get married first. The matter of settling down properly could be discussed later, but he had to go back for now.

“We’re going now.” Nan Hua stood up.

“I will tell the leaders.” Hui Ling stood up and walked out. The people here had known that Nan Hua was also an independent doctor, so she was allowed to leave if she had other things to do. Hui Ling also became the errand boy whenever Nan Hua needed it.

“Where are we going, Miss?” Chu Yue asked as she began to pack up.

“Sheng Village.”

Chu Yue paused for a moment before smiling. “Congratulation Miss.”

“Mhm.” Nan Hua nodded.

There was only one reason why Nan Hua would go to Sheng Village. Aside from the fact that her older cousin would get married, there wouldn’t be any other reason. After all, Nan Hua didn’t really have any other business in that village.

After packing up and everything, Nan Hua departed.

Anyway, for her older cousin’s marriage, it was fine to postpone other not so important matters.

…

<On the road towards Sheng Village: Nan Luo, Feng Ao Kuai, Feng Ao Si, and Sheng Shan Lang’s side>

“Why do I have to play this damned game on our way to Sheng Village?” Nan Luo looked at the go board in front of him with sullen expression. He was tempted to smash this board so that he didn’t have to see it ever again in his life.

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. “We’re not in a hurry this time, so it’s better to relax a bit.”

Nan Luo: “…” how is this relaxing for me?

Seeing that he was about to be slaughtered by Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo was itching to hit the other party so much. He knew that he was not the match against Feng Ao Kuai, yet the other party still insisted for him to play.

He looked at Feng Ao Si, who played dead, and Sheng Shan Lang, who was pretending to be dumb.

“Can’t you play with them instead?” Nan Luo pointed to these two annoying people.

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. “Brother Si will not make the game challenging at all. And I still have to stay behind to talk with my brother’s Brother in law later.”

Feng Ao Si sighed.

He had long gotten used with Feng Ao Kuai dissing him. Though, he had to admit that it came as a good thing because he wouldn’t be forced to play that game and be slaughtered by Feng Ao Kuai for a long period of time.

His brain would turn into mush if he had to play that game against Feng Ao Kuai.

Sheng Shan Lang let out a dry laugh and said nothing. He didn’t want to be targeted by Feng Ao Kuai.

Besides, due to his background, he was not that proficient with go game. It would be impossible for him to defeat Feng Ao Kuai without a miracle.

Nan Luo sighed. He could only accept his fate and placed the stone. “Aunt asked us to go back this time is because she knew that we have some break, right?”𝚘𝑽𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

They were all put into reserve army last week because the battle had turned into a waiting battle. Some of the active armies were switched with the reserve, allowing them to rest. It was also because of this that they dared to ask for leave for Feng Ao Si’s marriage.

“She should have gotten the news one way or another.” Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Dai outside the carriage.
