Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“How have you been before coming to Lin Family?” Long Qian Xing chose the topic he was most concerned about.

Before coming to Lin Family, Nan Hua was busy with other matters. If he was not wrong, her oldest cousin was getting married. He couldn’t come because of his duty at the frontline and his unsuitable identity.

After all, in the outside world, his fiancée was missing and it was unknown whether he could end up getting married to that missing woman in the future or not. If he were to appear in Nan Family celebration, it would look rather awkward.

Thus, Long Qian Xing could only stay at the forefront of the battlefield and not caring about that matter.

“I’m pretty good.” Nan Hua didn’t mistreat herself. She would just treat herself in the way that she knew the best and would not do anything that would actually harm herself. The matter of her cousin’s marriage and the little incident that happened afterwards was easy to settle.

“Really?”

“Zhang Xu Kingdom is getting impatient. They’re sending the few experts towards Fei Yang Kingdom and create some chaos. There are some commanders dealing with the matter, but it might not be enough to contain everything,” Nan Hua replied slowly.

“Thousands Needles?” Long Qian Xing’s eyes flashed with coldness.

“No.”

Nan Hua was not surprised that Long Qian Xing knew about them. Thousands Needles might be hidden from the outside world, but those who truly knew would know this name. These people were operating from time to time in Zhang Xu Kingdom and had caused a lot of damages.

They were annoying because of their expertise and capabilities.

“There shouldn’t be many Thousand Needles member left, so others?” Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He hadn’t heard those annoying people make a shot for a long period of time, but he didn’t expect that he would hear about them from Nan Hua again.

“They’re using the people they planted or poached. Zhang Xu Kingdom’s offer should be quite interesting for them.” Nan Hua didn’t know the exact details.

What she had inquired was that several people from Fei Yang Kingdom was bought over to betray their own kingdom. Either through threats or through bribery, they were switching side one by one.

It was not easy facing the cracks from within like this.

“That’s annoying.” Long Qian Xing’s eyes were filled with killing intent. When talking about traitors, he hated them the most because they were the type of person who could easily switch to other kingdoms when the situation was unfavorable for them.

Long Qian Xing didn’t want to tolerate betrayers the most.

He hated them for what they did.

“Indeed.”

Nan Hua looked straight forward at the road in front of them. They were using the road at the border but still within Fei Yang Kingdom. This area used to be Wei Da Kingdom’s, but it was now theirs.𝑜𝗏𝐥xt.𝕔𝑜𝗆

The few cities at the border were all in the state of war.

Some clashes could be heard from the distance but Long Qian Xing didn’t come forward to help. There were commanders already assigned to do this task and no matter how much he wanted to step forward, he had to prioritize his current task.

“When Strategist Mang reached Zhang Xu Kingdom’s south border with Fei Yang Kingdom, it wouldn’t be easy for the battle there.”

“They wouldn’t use the poison unless it was absolutely necessary.” Nan Hua’s eyes flickered. “I’ll think of a way to counter it.”

“Don’t force yourself. It’s not easy to decipher and create the antidote.”

“I know.”

Nan Hua’s talent in medicine might be superb, which was why Traveling Doctor Liu wanted to make her as his disciple. But at the same time, it couldn’t be compared with true genius whose talent was so overwhelming and could make other people doubt lives.

“There should be some ways to stop them from using the poison.” Long Qian Xing was also worried, but he would not let it get into his head and instead thought of other countermeasures he could think of. If they couldn’t detoxify it, it would be better for them to stop the opponent from using the poison in the first place.

That would be for the best.

Nan Hua nodded.

The two of them looked at each other and continued to discuss about the few methods they could think of. Perhaps because the two of them came from different world and had known some ingenious methods, they could think of several ways to do this.

But at the same time, they didn’t dare to underestimate Prime Minister Lei. For him to be the bitter opponent of Fei Yang Kingdom for so many years had already proven that it was not easy for them to beat the other party.

They had to work hard if they truly wish to win this war.

Time passed quietly.

When it was night time, the soldiers set up the camp near a river. Perhaps taking Wei Da Kingdom over was the best decision they could make. Staying near the river would provide them with a lot of resources they could use.

Food, water, and so on.

Setting camp near the river made it easy for them to be comfortable.

“Set up the defense line.” Long Qian Xing waved his hand, instructing his soldiers so that they wouldn’t forget the fact that the wilderness was dangerous. Even if they were still within Fei Yang Kingdom’s area, they shouldn’t relax their guard.

“Yes, General!”

The soldiers began to be busy.

“The tent wouldn’t be as good as before because this is just a temporary stop.” Long Qian Xing glanced at Nan Hua, who was staring in the direction of the river. “Would you mind, Princess Jun?”

“I do not mind at all.” Nan Hua turned her head around and looked at Long Qian Xing. “I would like to rest by the riverbank for a while.”

“Please.”

Nan Hua nodded politely and walked forward with Long Qian Xing followed her from behind.
