Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“It’s been a while, Gu Xia Mo and Yan Jin Nian,” Song Yun Xiang greeted the two of them slowly.

“Indeed. It has been a while.” Gu Xia Mo chuckled when he saw Song Yun Xiang and then said, “It seems that your price is very obvious.”

Even if they hadn’t talked in details, Song Yun Xiang knew what Gu Xia Mo was talking about.

<When they came to this world, they would have special abilities that could be used after paying the price. The abilities were not very powerful but if it was used in the right time, it would be very convenient. It could be said that these were the <world consciousness> compensation for them because it was asking them to do things for the <world consciousness>>

Most of them would not know the price that others had.

But when Gu Xia Mo saw Song Yun Xiang’s condition, he had guesses about what it is for Song Yun Xiang.

Song Yun Xiang arched his eyebrows and then said, “You too, Gu Xia Mo.”

Having sat on wheelchair for a long time because he was lazy to walk around, Song Yun Xiang naturally recognized the chair that Gu Xia Mo used. He himself had been using wheelchair for a long time, especially during war times and so on.

After all, his balance was not very good and he couldn’t really block other people’s attack without any hands.

Song Yun Xiang himself had no problem using wheelchairs.

“I’m also here!” Fang Sheng Lin raised his voice and wanted to raise his hands too as if to announce his presence.

“We know.” Yan Jin Nian sighed when she saw Fang Sheng Lin and beckoned for the two of them to sit down. “I didn’t expect the two of you would work for Fei Yang Kingdom so thoroughly.”

It took Gu Xia Mo and Yan Jin Nian some time to be able to reach the frontline.

First of all, the two of them were not part of the military and there were not dedicated channel or resources for them to go. They had to figure out the route and also made sure they would not be attacked midway.

Thankfully, the people around them were capable enough to do this.

After they reached the north area, they inquired about Song Yun Xiang and Fang Sheng Lin. The two of them were quite famous because they belonged to other kingdoms and then became part of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Song Yun Xiang was well known because he was a cripple yet his strategy was really good.

The soldiers often talked about how his tactics were able to defeat the enemies cleanly and efficiently.

This alone made many people amazed.

Moreover, they also knew the time when Song Yun Xian defected to Fei Yang Kingdom. Some people felt that he was a coward but some others felt that he was wise because they were living here.

As for where Song Yun Xiang is….

They originally didn’t know.

Because the appointment for military officers were not something that ordinary people could possibly inquire. They could only go and ask more people before they knew that many people were stationed on the north border.

Since that was also the highest possibility for Song Yun Xiang and Fang Sheng Lin to go, the two of them continued their journey.

And they were right.

The two people were indeed here.

It was just…

The north border was really cold and the two of them felt a bit uncomfortable. Gu Xia Mo was better because he has been living in that cold mountain for a long time. But Yan Jin Nian was not doing well because she was not used to it.

In the end, they had to buy a stack of thick clothing before they came here.

“Ah, I can’t beat Long Qian Xing,” Fang Sheng Lin answered carelessly. He felt that it would be good for him to follow Long Qian Xing.

Anyway, he still wanted to live.

And if he was asked to take care of himself, then Fang Sheng Lin could only say that he didn’t know how to.

After all, Fang Sheng Lin was used to be taken care of by the servants and many others in his life. The only thing he knew was to hit and beat up others with his martial arts. This was something that has been ingrained into his bones and he also had talent in it.

As for other things?

He was very slow in understanding and following it.

“You can’t beat him, so you follow him?” Gu Xia Mo asked.

“Yes!”

The others saw Fang Sheng Lin nodding as if it was a normal course of matter and chose to ignore the other party.

They felt that they should not talk with Fang Sheng Lin.

“Fei Yang Kingdom is much stronger than Fan Yi Kingdom. Besides, I don’t want so many people’s lives to die in a hopeless battle,” Song Yun Xiang replied. “Without a good emperor who can rule well, the kingdom will not last long.”

Having been in the military for some time, Song Yun Xiang had already seen many bad things about Fan Yi Kingdom.

He was also frustrated several times because of the policy that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor made.

Over the years, Song Yun Xiang felt that Fan Yi Kingdom was getting worse and worse.

In that battle against Fei Yang Kingdom, Song Yun Xiang had seen that fighting would only increase casualties. There was no chance for Fan Yi Kingdom to win, so he chose to surrender.

Some people might dislike it because of it.

They might also respect it because of his choice.

But Song Yun Xiang chose the option that would allow more people to live.

It might seem cowardly for some.

But if this was the choice that he needed to take for the people under him to live, then he was wiling to bear this name.

Besides…

He wasn’t the only one.

The one who bear the brunt the most was General Yang and General Gao who were the most powerful generals left from Fan Yi Kingdom.
