Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Chi Tan Qiang cupped his fist and strode inside. He picked the seat the corner and lowered his eyes to look at the food on the table. No one had started eating yet, but the food had been delivered one after another.

Nan Hua was standing at the side along with the other adjutants or manservants of these young commanders. The room was actually big enough since it was similar to a meeting hall, but if there were more commanders, it was estimated to be quite crowded later.

'Chi Tan Qiang.'

Looking at the unremarkable young man, Nan Hua's gaze lingered for a moment before moved away.

"Have you received the notice to start marching tomorrow?" Feng Ao Si asked curiously.

"All of us will be deployed. There are other commanders who will stay behind and guard this Three Point Cities. Also there might be a general who will stay behind since there are three generals here right now." Sheng Shan Lang smiled.

There were only a total of 7 generals in Fei Yang Kingdoms right now. Two were dealing against Shi Long Kingdom, one at the very south, one dealing with Zhang Xu Kingdom, and the last three were all gathered here.

"Oh, this Three Point Cities will be very empty then." Nan Luo thought that they will also focus on defending this new territory they got.

"Not completely empty." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "It's just that there is not enough manpower left for us to defend heavily. If Zhang Xu Kingdom were to attack fiercely, it'll still be hard to defend this Three Point City."

The three cities were formed to be able to cover each other.

But it didn't mean that this tactic was completely invincible. If Zhang Xu Kingdom were to replicate their tactic, there was a chance to succeed as long as they had enough people who were strong enough to break the defense.

It all depend on the battle at the front.

"I see." Nan Luo grinned. "The next battle should be fairly easy for us."

"Mhm, as long as you have enough foundation and skills."

"In regards to that, you might need to learn a bit more, Ao Si."

Feng Ao Si's face darkened. Wasn't it the same as saying that he was not skilled enough in front of others?

Come on, he was not that bad, alright!

Long Qian Xing shook his head. He tapped the table. "Queen Yu should arrive soon. After that, we can start eating."

"Oh." Sheng Shan Lang nodded.

In truth, not a single one of them was interested in eating. They all understood that the real reason why they came here was because they were probing each other's strength and information.

If not because of that, they wouldn't even bother to gather together like this.

Bang!

The door opened and two people came in sight. Nan Hua saw the two of them and silently lowered her eyes.

"Am I late?" Yu Jin asked with a grin.

"No, you're not late at all, Queen Yu. Please come in." Long Qian Xing was smiling and showing the perfect demeanor as a noble.

Yu Jin's smile deepened as she picked a random seat. To be honest, she didn't like Long Qian Xing at all. This person felt like a smiling tiger who could attack even when he was smiling so 'harmlessly.'

She didn't like dealing with this kind of person at all.

It will make her feel that she was being targeted, yet she wouldn't even know when he had dug the pit for her.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Queen Yu." Sheng Shan Lang stood up and cupped his fist.

"There's no need to be so polite. All of you are just a lil bit younger than me." Yu Jin raised her chin.

Behind her, Wu Shan was trying his best to stop himself from facepalming from his sister's shamelessness. He raised his head and swept his eyes across the room. It was then he found Nan Hua, who stood behind Nan Luo.

His eyes narrowed.

There was some kind of danger that Nan Hua projected that was similar to the person he knew.

Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Wu Shan. Her killing intent and sharpness were the distinctive features that she had. This was also the reason why people would recognize when she was the one who was sent during mission.

She had a unique suppression whenever she faced her enemies.

Those who had already felt it before will be able to sense it again when they saw her if they were skilled enough.

Otherwise, they would only feel that the other party was strong.

If she had never showed it before, they would never recognize her even if they bumped onto her on the street.

"There are a lot of food here, shall we start?" Nan Luo asked carefully. He could sense that the atmosphere was somewhat wrong, but he tried his best to look as nonchalant as possible. It was because of his past experience meeting with those officials that he could do this.

Still, he didn't really want to stay here for a long period of time.

"Very well."

They all began to eat and discuss about the few things that happened in Fei Yang Kingdom. Feng Ao Si was the only one who had blank face for thorough the conversation while Nan Luo only understood half of them.

The topics kept on changing, making it difficult to keep track of the few information they had obtained before.

"These are what I know in regards to the few commanders we might encounter on the way." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Considering that General Long will focus on the big war, I'm sure that these small armies will be handed to us."

"We can take turns attacking them. Even if I want to, it's not going to be possible to handle the attack of so many armies." Sheng Shan Lang shook his head.

If it was just normal times, he would rather do it on his own.

But in this big battle, they had to make sure to reserve their strength for the pivotal battle that would determine the result of the war. Neither one of them wanted to miss that battle at all.
