Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

To be honest, Fang Sheng Lin simply didn’t care about his future.

He knew that these commanders and Prime Minister Lei didn’t trust him, but he didn’t care about that.

As long as he was still allowed to fight at the frontline and fought against countless strong people, he didn’t care.

It was not like Prime Minister Lei didn’t know measure.

Since he dared to use him, Fang Sheng Lin knew that he couldn’t exactly disobey Prime Minister Lei’s order.

‘In that case, I’ll be waiting for you, Long Qian Xing. In this bet, I’ll be the one to win!’

The soldiers who were poisoned were treated.

Thankfully, the poison didn’t seem to spread further, but the doctors were still being careful when they treated these patients.

“It’s a type of fatal poison and will kill almost immediately. Those who can survive are mostly the soldiers who have high resistance towards poison. But after this, they might not even be able to wield weapon again.” The doctor finished his diagnostic and sighed.

Great General Wei was also checking the soldier in front of him. His expression was covered by the helmet, but his clasped fingers showed that he was not as calm as he looked like on the surface.

No matter, these soldiers were people who had accompanied him in his long journey on the battlefield.

It was due to their hard work and sacrifice that Fei Yang Kingdom could stand firm all these years.

“Arrange the compensation for their families.”

“Yes, Great General Wei.”

Asking about the situation at the frontline specifically, Great General Wei found out that Princess Jun Hua was using two types of weapons. A crossbow and a knife to block that special arrow.

Her accuracy was terrible.

She was also at the forefront but it seemed that she had already planned the escape route, allowing most of the soldiers from the mountain tribe to come back safely without being affected in the slightest bit.

After walking around the headquarter for a bit, Great General Wei finally reached the area where Nan Hua and the other soldiers from the Mountain Tribe was located. At this time, Nan Hua had just finished the treatment and currently soaked the needles on a basin of alcohol.

The alcohol was not too good, but this was already the best that was available in this era. It was enough.

“You’re good.” Great General Wei saw the patient’s condition and evaluated.

Nan Hua raised her head and saw Great General Wei. She cupped her fist. “Thank you for your praise, Great General Wei.”

Watching Nan Hua’s performance, Great General Wei began to wonder about this Jun Hua’s background. From her manners, she seemed to be someone who came from the nobility.

This etiquette and the aura she showed had showed that she belonged to Fei Yang Kingdom.

But Great General Wei would not pry other people’s business.

He only looked at the patient’s condition thoughtfully. “I owe you another one.”

“Great General Wei, I’m only doing what I should do.” Nan Hua didn’t need Great General Wei’s favor. In any case, she could get what she wanted with her own strength without Great General Wei’s help.

And in this battle, she was only doing it for Fei Yang Kingdom and not for Great General Wei.

“It’s the same.” Great General Wei waved his hand. “And I will report this matter to His Majesty.”

Nan Hua’s eyes flickered slightly when she heard Great General Wei’s words.

Reporting to Emperor Yang Zhou.

Nan Hua had already met with Emperor Yang Zhou with her real identity. Even though she was wearing veil at that time, there was high chance that Emperor Yang Zhou would know that she was Nan Hua, the young miss of Nan Family and also Long Qian Xing’s fiancée.

At that time, Emperor Yang Zhou might need to evaluate the power of the Nan Family and their position would be relatively at the forefront.

Many generals didn’t have good end in history.

And the reason was because they were too strong and the Emperor felt they were a threat, thus they ended up having a relatively short career.

Nan Hua didn’t want to end that way nor putting Long Qian Xing through that kind of problems.𝗈𝑽𝐥xt.𝐜𝗈𝔪

In this warring era, the abilities of the generals were still tolerated to a certain extent.

But she didn’t want to take the bet.

“I see.”

Great General Wei looked at Nan Hua’s eyes because this was the easiest method for him to read his opponent’s thoughts. Looking at the faint rejection that Nan Hua showed in her eyes, he had some guesses.

After all, Wei Family himself was also put in some scrutiny and evaluated strictly back then.

Thankfully, his family was relatively simple and didn’t have much power aside from him, which made the Emperor more trusting.

“His Majesty is a wise Emperor.”

“His Majesty is a great Emperor,” Nan Hua replied and cupped her fist. “I know, Great General Wei.”

Great General Wei didn’t explain much.

Everyone have their own way of doing things, which was something that he couldn’t control. He only gave his opinion but how it would end up in the future depended on Nan Hua’s decision.

Sora’s Corner:

Honestly, when I was reading some historical records, I feel that my luck was really bad. Out of so many generals in history, I just have to stumble upon those whose stories made me cry. From 10 generals’ story I read, 9 of them ended up miserably. Some of them passed away on the battlefield (which might be one of their dreams to have their end on the battlefield because it’s an honor for them) and some others were ordered execution by the Emperor for various reasons.

One of the most common reasons was because the General was too strong, which aroused the Emperor’s suspicion or because they refused to follow the Emperor’s order.

It’s really sad. (>.<)
