Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1148: Stupidity

He was already advance in age and had quite a lot of experience at the battlefield. Even though it was no longer his era, Wei Da Kingdom was still using him because he still had some capabilities.     

Comparted to those monsters who had special title, he was clearly not their match.     

But he was still a very capable person who could shake the battlefield during his time and thus granted this position. He was able to face people from Zhang Xu Kingdom not without any reason.     

The delicate balance of Da Yi City battle…     

Give it to other commanders, they will fall before midday when facing Long Qian Xing. That treacherous youngster was not even doing anything, but his soldiers alone were extremely terrifying.     

He had watched his children.     

While he didn't restrict their movements completely, he knew what had happened by listening to the soldiers who were around the area when Duan Shang Yi decided to leave in the middle of the night for a raid.     

A stupid son.     

General Duan would have never expected that his own son would be this stupid either.     

"Young Commander Kui wanted revenge because of his father's death. But why do you think he didn't choose to do it on his own and instead wait at the back when you're the one charging inside?"     

Duan Shang Yi opened his mouth then closed it again.     

He himself wanted to teach a lesson to those people for bombarding them with stones yet doing nothing. It was also because of this that he agreed with Young Commander Kui's plan to do a night raid.     

"Young Commander Kui had left."     

"What?"     

General Duan looked at his son and shook his head. "He left the very night when the night raid failed. He should have known the consequences of losing the battle and leave Da Yi City in advance to avoid being captured or killed."     

Duan Shang Yi's body trembled as rage filled his body.     

If only it was possible, he wanted to chase after Young Commander Kui and taught that good 'brother' of his a lesson. Who would have thought that his good friend would actually trick him this badly?     

Duan Shang Yi couldn't accept this.     

And General Duan didn't say anything else and only watched his son's reaction.     

He thought that he would take a long time to convince Duan Shang Yi about Young Commander Kui's treachery. But now it looked like his son still has some brain and understood that he was being used.     

The so called brothers were useless when facing people from Kui Family.     

Those people didn't actually care about other people and treated others as tools. Just like how in chess game, a king will have to sacrifice a lot of the others in order to be able to survive and win the game.     

No matter how many people were sacrificed, they didn't feel anything.     

The most important thing for them was victory.     

People from Kui Family was known to be the most cold blooded people in the entire Wei Da Kingdom precisely because of this reason. No matter how close the person who died near them were, they would look as if they were remorseful yet they could still use other people in order to satisfy their wish.         

"You should go and cool your head. Wei Da Kingdom will be no more." General Duan turned around once more, no longer looking at his son.     

Duan Shang Yi opened his mouth and closed it again. He wanted to say that it was impossible, but he felt that what his father said was also reasonable.     

This made him feel conflicted.     

In the end, he turned around and left.     

Like his father, he was also under house arrest. He knew very well that it would be impossible for him to do anything and probably, this would also be the end of his career.     

With only one hand left, how could it be possible for him to continue being a soldier?     

He felt despair.     

…     

After Fei Yang Kingdom officially took over Da Yi City, they didn't leave immediately. After all, there would be a need of some personnel to manage Da Yi City after it was claimed to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom.     

This was the annoying part.     

These soldiers would have to wait until it was announced who will be taking over Da Yi City before they could leave.     

"You're going to take a stroll?" Nan Luo asked when he saw Nan Hua was looking outside. It seemed that she didn't have any intention to stay behind.     

"There's someone I would like to meet." Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo.     

"Who?"     

"General Duan's second son."     

"Huh?"     

Nan Luo's expression was blank.     

On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai was interested. General Duan had three children in total, two sons and one daughter. The first son entered military while the second son didn't enter military.     

Instead, he was working in another field.     

He's the blacksmith in this city.     

Feng Ao Kuai had heard that General Duan's second son was a good blacksmith and had been the one supplying the military with good weapons. If he was not wrong, General Duan's second son was also in this city.     

"Are you thinking of recruiting him into Fei Yang Kingdom's blacksmith group?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.     

"No."         

"Then…"     

"I want him to try making this." Nan Hua showed the blueprint for the assembled catapult that she drew during the past few days. The sizes were also mentioned there, so it was rather complete.     

Nan Hua was not entirely sure it will work, though. Because of this, she wanted to find some good blacksmith to try it first.     

Duan Shang Shao, General Duan's second son, was a good blacksmith, so she wanted to try it out with him.     

Anyway, she knew that he will side with Fei Yang Kingdom in the future.     

He was the next person who will follow Long Qian Xing after the other few people around him such as Lin Yuan and Song Chuan.
