Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1112 The Current Situation

And it was at this time that Wei Mu Ya realized that her rank was actually the lowest. When she first heard about Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai, she only knew that they were new young commanders who were younger than her.

But now, she realized that they were actually her ‘superiors.’

Not directly but in accordance to military rules, she would have to listen to their order because their ranking was higher than hers.

“If you keep your frown, you will look ugly, Ya Jie.”

“Mu Qing!” Wei Mu Ya glared at her younger sister. She was riding a horse and stayed beside Wei Mu Qing’s carriage to make sure that her sister would be fine.

Wei Mu Qing chuckled. “Don’t worry too much about other people, Ya Jie. As long as you did a good job, Father will let you become a commander at the battlefield for a long period of time. He’s not that stingy.”

Wei Mu Ya took a deep breath and refused to look at her younger sister. While she knew what Wei Mu Qing said was true, it still pained her that she couldn’t do better and fulfilled her father’s expectation for her.

They all moved in neither slow or fast pace.

In any case, they were not marching to the frontline for battle and only escorting the two young ladies of Wei Family.

.....

Correction, they were escorting the Second Young Miss Wei because First Young Miss Wei is also a commander.

“General Wei care for his children a lot.” Nan Luo clicked his tongue when he saw the army that were moving. With 5,000 soldiers, it could already be called a grand treatment for a mere young lady.

“This is the frontline and do you want to be in the situation where they use prisoner to make you follow their wishes?” Feng Ao Kuai retorted.

Nan Luo nodded. “True enough. Oh right, Brother Ao Si also get to move from this post, right?”

“He’s going to the border with Wei Da Kingdom.” Feng Ao Kuai’s eyes narrowed. “The situation with Wei Da Kingdom seem to be going to escalate soon.”

“Really? They’re still pretty powerful.”

“Their border has been taken by the other kingdoms little by little.”

The fact that Wei Da Kingdom had been quite desperate lately was true. However, Shi Long Kingdom recently clashed with Fei Yang Kingdom at the south because their expansion plan coincides each other.

General Shangguan and General Feng were busy dealing at the border and there was also a recently promoted general at the southern of Fei Yang Kingdom. With these three at the forefront, Shi Long Kingdom also couldn’t easily invade Fei Yang Kingdom.

It was thankfully so.

After all, Shi Long Kingdom could still be called as the biggest kingdom among the six of them.

But with them focusing their main force for expansion at the south, it also meant that Fei Yang Kingdom could rest easy that they wouldn’t easily attack them. They could focus their attention on both Zhang Xu Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom at their north and northeast.

And Wei Da Kingdom was in pitiful situation.

Zhang Xu Kingdom was slowly trying to take control of their northern area too.

On the other hand, Fan Yi Kingdom was a bit busy dealing with the threat at the north. For the time being, they wouldn’t have that much time to care for the other three kingdoms that bordered Fan Yi Kingdom.

(Note: Fan Yi Kingdom located at the very far north and didn’t border Fei Yang Kingdom physically. There are Zhang Xu Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom on the way)

“But will our military prowess ready to take such a big leap?” Nan Luo asked another matter. There were indeed some powerful figures who had been making their names at the battlefield.

However, if they really wanted to realize the same system as during Emperor Huan, who is Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather, it would need more people. So far, the most famous generals were General Long and General Wei.

General Shangguan was still a bit off.

After all, he could be said to be of the same generation as Nan Luo and the others despite him nearly a decade older than them.

As for Nan Family…

Ehm, there’s not even a general there.

Old Master Nan might still hold the title of Great General, but it was also clear that he wouldn’t be able to lead so many soldiers in their grand ambition. Even now, Old Master Nan didn’t seem to have the same spirit as he used to be.

He was already tired, but the war ear is not over.

With his ability, he could still lead soldiers, but it wouldn’t be as good as when he used to be in the past. And Old Master Nan himself had stated that it was close to the time for his retirement.

Though, these generals would normally not retire until their death.

Many of them would prefer to die at the battlefield while they were fighting against their enemies rather than dying when they were of old age. After all, they had already thought of themselves as someone who spent their entire life at the battlefield.

“I don’t know.”

“…I thought you know.”

Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. “My rank is the same as yours and you hope for me to know more about the situation of the entirety of Fei Yang Kingdom?”

Nan Luo: “…”

He really wanted to beat up his cousin for the nth time.

Even though what Feng Ao Kuai knew was limited, but his older cousin always had his own way to gather more information. Not to mention, his ability to analyze the situation of the surroundings was much better than him.

Rather than going around without any lead, it would be better for him to listen to what his older cousin said.

“Three Great Generals should be enough for the time being, right?” Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo and passed a faint smile.
