Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“General Xing, I’ll follow you,” Nan Hua said slowly from behind Long Qian Xing.

“Yes. Take care of yourself.”

“I will.” Nan Hua’s eyes flashed. As an assassin, darkness is the best environment for her to play. Not many people could possibly contend with her when it was night time.

Swish!

At the back, Nan Si silently blended with Long Qian Xing’s soldiers, ready to make his move when it was necessary. This time, he had a task from Nan Hua to help the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom to assassinate those people from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

“Let’s go!”

…

<Zhang Xu Kingdom’s side, Strategist Mang’s location>

“How’s the situation so far?” Strategist Mang asked, his tone was somewhat stern and tense. After facing Long Qian Xing yesterday, he had to admit that it was not easy to handle Long Qian Xing at all.

It was as if every preparation that he had made for years was thrown to feed the dogs.𝑜𝑣𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

Thankfully, he still managed to regroup his soldiers in the end and pushed Long Qian Xing’s soldiers back in order to reach Lin Family Mountain’s foot. But the time delayed so much that it was now night time.

They wouldn’t be able to depart at this time unless they wanted to invite Long Qian Xing’s soldiers to interrupt them on the way.

It was really frustrating.

“Mang Bi, you’ll be the one in charge for the defense tonight.” Strategist Mang looked at the man at the side. “Don’t disappoint me.”

“Yes, Strategist Mang!” the man cupped his fist solemnly.

Strategist Mang looked into the forest outside, his eyes narrowed. He knew that the information about Lin Sun should have spread and might have entered General Xing’s ears. In that case, it would be impossible for him to leave them take the medicine out of this area safely.

Night time or tomorrow morning?

He didn’t know and didn’t want to take any chance. The number of soldiers who followed him this time were over 10,000 soldiers, but the casualties from the battle just now was already bad enough. He also didn’t want to take more risk for the sake of his mission completion.

“Where’s Lin Sun?”

“He’s waiting at the Poison Mist along with several elders accompanying him.” The soldiers reported.

After the assassination attempt back then in Lin Family Mountain, it was estimated that Lin Sun truly didn’t dare to get out in the slightest bit in fear that he would be assassinated again. The task given by the Zhang Chen Organization was still far from completion.

What they wanted the most was to use this poison to deal with the most powerful generals from Fei Yang Kingdom and alleviate the pressure Zhang Xu Kingdom had been experiencing all this time.

That damn earthquake seemed to have given the injection booster to the other kingdoms, making them attacking Zhang Xu Kingdom over and over.

Thankfully, it has been a while since that time.

Though, there were actually other problems that plagued Zhang Xu Kingdom after that damn earthquake. This was the main reason why they wanted to end the war with Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom as fast as possible.

“Pick him up… No, wait, just pick the poison bottle.” Strategist Mang knew that Lin Family Mountain is the safest place for Lin Sun.

At the very least, he wouldn’t have to worry about being assassinated all day long. There were very few people who could bypass the defense and entered Lin Family Mountain.

“The messenger from Lin Family said that they wished that Lin Family Mountain’s defense can be strengthened. Someone sneaked inside just a few days ago and killed several elders.” The soldiers reported what he was told.

Lin Family naturally couldn’t hide the chaos from that day, so they spread it like this. That someone entered and killed several elders who were inside.

But they didn’t dare to say that their medicinal garden was half destroyed. There was a fire that had destroyed most of their medicines, which meant that they couldn’t make the same poison as they made today for the time being.

Of course, they didn’t dare to say it.

If they said it, it was estimated that those people from Zhang Chen Organization would be dissatisfied and even wished to hit them. After all, this mission for them to make the poison might even affect the result of the battle in the end.

Time was of the essence.

They will just say that the medicine was hard to make and other reasons to delay their time without affecting their importance in Zhang Xu Kingdom’s eyes.

“Someone get in?” Strategist Meng frowned. “It seems that Lin Family has been targeted by some people.”

Without sufficient training and resources, it would be impossible for one to enter Lin Family Mountain so easily. With just the information that someone broke in, Strategist Meng had thought of several things.

His eyes narrowed slightly. “I’ll be staying behind. Mang Bi will be in charge.”

“Yes, Strategist Meng!”

…

Time passed quietly.

The soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom approached the poison mist around Lin Family Mountain but they didn’t dare to step even closer. They were afraid that if they were to get inside, there will be casualties because they didn’t have high poison resistance.

Thus, they stopped before they could enter at the entrance.

Tep! Tep! Tep!

A person walked out of the poison mist, holding a bottle of poison. “This is the medicine that Elder Sun asked to give.”

The soldiers looked at the person in front of him and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes. Lin Sun was so afraid of death that he even sent someone else to send the medicine out.

For these hot blooded soldiers, Lin Sun was a coward.

But of course, they would never say it outright.

They were still in front of Lin Family Mountain. Unless they wanted to be killed, they will never do that.

“Thank you.” The soldiers nodded and took the medicine.

The man handed the medicine then ran inside once again as if he was afraid that the soldiers will attack him.
