Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 591 Result of the Long Eight Day

　　Nan Hua said nothing and retreated to the side after she was done with Old Master Nan’s treatment. She looked at the soldiers who were now looking at her with fervent gaze. It was clear that they admired her for being able to treat Old Master Nan so quickly.

But for Nan Hua, it was just some basic skill.

Besides, what was more remarkable was the discipline of these soldiers. Fei Yang Kingdom’s soldiers were known to be barbarian because many of them would be using their muscle to think rather than their brain. But from the way it looked like, her grandfather was already prioritizing discipline.

It was amazing.

Nan Hua stayed silent and retreated to the side. “The battle is not over yet.”

”It’s already over.” Old Master Nan looked at the pile of corpses outside. Many of the dying soldiers were getting trampled by their enemies or their friends. There was a trace of numbness inside Old Master Nan’s eyes.

For him, this was a scene that he had seen for many decades in his life.

”Master…”

”They’ll retreat soon.” Old Master Nan glanced at the other direction. Seeing that there was no breach in either side, he took a sigh of relief. Since it was already this much, he thought that they would retreat soon when they realized that they couldn’t defeat Fei Yang Kingdom.

Though, this would surely put Fei Yang Kingdom in difficult situation because they would be warier of them.

But it was only natural considering that their Emperors were all having grand ambition.

”Great General Nan! The soldiers are retreating!”

”How about the one from Shi Long Kingdom?”

”They’re also retreating.”

Old Master Nan nodded in satisfaction. He had already guessed that since he had caused such huge loss for Wei Da Kingdom, they wouldn’t be able to stand still anymore. Though, he might have to pay the price with him not entering the battlefield ever again.

Looking at his leg, Old Master Nan silently wondered whether he would have the chance to enter the battlefield ever again like this.

’Grandfather, you can still go if you want.’

That was what Nan Hua wanted to tell her grandfather, but she couldn’t say it. For some reasons, she felt that her grandfather both wanted and didn’t want to enter the battlefield once more. It might be also because most of those people from his era were either retiring or had died.

His enemies were now the younger generation.

And probably, it was also the time for someone like him to step down and allowed the younger generation to take his place. But he might be feeling conflicted since for someone like him, the battlefield was already his second home.

It wouldn’t be easy to just leave and stay behind.

He had already rested for a long time when he was teaching Nan Luo and Nan Hua back then.

”Great General Nan, report! Zhang Xu Kingdom’ soldiers are also retreating!”

”That’s good news.”

Old Master Nan thought about Prime Minister Lei’s black face and felt a bit better all of the sudden. One of the few people whom he disliked was Prime Minister Lei because of how scheming that man was. Now that Prime Minister Lei had lost so miserably, Old Master Nan naturally felt happy.

”Tell General Long that he can send search party for his son.”

”Yes, Great General!”

Nan Hua heard that and her eyes flickered. The battle here was basically over because General Long had wounded General Kang horribly and forced Zhang Xu Kingdom to retreat. If not because of Prime Minister Lei’s tactic, Zhang Xu Kingdom would have suffered heavy loss from General Long’s maniacal advance last night.

This morning, the loss should have been obvious.

The enraged General Long didn’t care about who his enemies were and directly killed them all. There should be thousands of people who died under General Long and his soldiers’ hand just last night.

Nan Hua was sure that Prime Minister Lei would have a headache from this matter.

As for Long Qian Xing…

He should be back in the afternoon, riding a horse through the other area because there were too many soldiers near the riverbank. Even though Long Qian Xing was wounded, he still could ride horse overnight and reached the necessary location.

”You all should rest. Half of you will take care of the things here while the other half rest.” Old Master Nan’s eyes then landed on his granddaughter. His heart ached when he saw how tired she was. He knew very well that Nan Hua had already achieved big just yesterday but she was forced to endure another brutal night with some commanders targeting her.

Now, she even treated him.

”You too, Nan. Children should rest.”

The soldiers’ eyes flickered when they heard Old Master Nan’s words. It was then they realized that Nan’s height was indeed much shorter than them. Not to mention, the young kid’s stature didn’t seem to be that of an adult.

It was then their expression changed.

It seemed… they lost to a little brat?

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather deeply before bowing. “Nan will have some rest now. Please rest too, Great General Nan.”

After that, Nan Hua retreated.

Old Master Nan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Nan Hua calling him so formally. It seemed that she was angry because he called her a kid? But Nan Hua was still only 13 years old… was it wrong for him to call her a kid?

Tsk, tsk, his granddaughter sure has temper.

Even though Old Master Nan was complaining in his mind, his eyes were smiling and there was a rare trace of tenderness within it.

Hou Liang was staying near Old Master Nan and silently wondered when the soldiers would know that Nan was Nan Hua. Based on Old Master Nan’s reaction… it wouldn’t take long for them to realize this point.

He had to remind Old Master Nan about this soon…
