Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Crown Prince Ping?" Emperor Yang Zhou combed his memory and tried to figure out just which one was that. The current Emperor of Fan Yi Kingdom had several children but neither one of them was so remarkable that they made their name on the battlefield yet.

At the very least, Emperor Yang Zhou didn't know much about them.

In the past, Fei Yang Kingdom barely had any interaction with Fan Yi Kingdom because of distance and influence.

Now that they would be bordering Fan Yi Kingdom, it was clear that they would have to interact sooner or later. This time, it was Fan Yi Kingdom who approached first and the one who made it was the crown prince instead of the Emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lan quickly took out the letter that was sent before. He had checked the content and felt that it was truly troublesome.

Emperor Yang Zhou took the letter and scanned the content. The corner of his mouth raised to form a mocking smile. "I see, they want to send gifts and congratulate me, huh?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tapping the table with his finger, Emperor Yang Zhou thought about this matter. It was a bit dangerous, but he also wanted to know what Fan Yi Kingdom's stance towards them would be.

Would they be enemies right away or could collaborate to a certain extent?

"Since they want to come, let them come." Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Prime Minister Lan. "Make sure to check them thoroughly."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Lan cupped his fist solemnly. He would never allow any danger to befall Emperor Yang Zhou no matter what.

As Prime Minister Lan turned around and walked away, Emperor Yang Zhou stood up. He was truly curious just what Fan Yi Kingdom was actually planning by sending gifts this time. Would there be truly convinced of Fei Yang Kingdom's supremacy?

It was quite unlikely.

After all, Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that neither of the other four remaining big kingdoms were small fries. The emperors were all people who had ambitions and power.

They wouldn't possibly want to give up their power so easily.

'No matter why you come, I'll be ready for it.' Emperor Yang Zhou narrowed his eyes.

<Central Frontline, Yi City Area, Long Qian Xing's Location>

After separating from the heartless little girl in Da Yi City, Long Qian Xing headed towards Yi City's direction again. This time, he was busy eliminating and poaching the bandits and armies under other commanders from Wei Da Kingdom into Fei Yang Kingdom's forces. It was also during this time that he found out Song Chuan sent a letter to him.

"He's using the birds?" Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

There were some birds that had been trained specifically to send emergency report and will come to him no matter how far it was. However, it took a long time to train these birds, so Long Qian Xing didn't usually use them.

Some of these birds were in the Capital City. They were for Song Chuan's use.

"Yes, Young Master."

Long Qian Xing took the letter and read the content. He sneered. "So Fan Yi Kingdom wants to pay tribute to Fei Yang Kingdom? What an utter lie."

In front of Long Qian Xing, Lou was trying his best to keep a poker face. He pretended that he heard nothing of Long Qian Xing's mockery towards Fan Yi Kingdom.

"They wouldn't be convinced so easily. Fan Yi Kingdom also have several powerful generals and huge military base. If not for that, there's no way they could fend off the barbarians at the north all these times." Long Qian Xing shook his head and played with the bamboo scroll in his hand.

After a while, he stopped. "Send a message back to Song Chuan. He should know what to do to protect His Majesty."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Long Qian Xing looked at the letter and then shook his head. He wouldn't be able to return to the Capital City and do the odd jobs all the time. Anyway, there were enough protection in the palace as of now.

Even if something did happen, it should be fine without him.

<Xia Mountain>

Tep!

Stepping on the entrance, Nan Hua glanced to the back and saw Chu Yue was still following her. She pointed to the side. "Wait in the valley below. I'll go there later."

"Yes, Miss."

Chu Yue nodded.

When Nan Hua entered that dark cave, she sighed deeply and looked to the back. If not because of Nan Hua's guidance and steps, she would have long stepped on the countless traps that was laid all over the mountain. And once she stepped on one of them…. It would cause a chain reaction.

Thankfully, Nan Hua was there to help her.

Still, Chu Yue felt that following Nan Hua required a very strong ability. Just to enter the base here already caused her to be extremely tired.

Swish!

Behind her, Nan Si swiftly overtake her position and followed Nan Hua to enter the dark cave.

This cave would connect to the other side of the mountain where the real base of Dark Moon Organization was located. Everyone who stayed there was the people who were important and had certain status. It would be impossible for ordinary people to come here.

When Nan Hua came out, she swiftly jumped to the side.

Jleb!

A knife landed on the ground.

Nan Hua raised her head and saw Lan Fei Lin, the woman who used to follow her ninth senior sister, Chen Yuan. The latter was holding a sickle on her hand, seemingly ready to attack, but she stopped when she saw Nan Hua and knelt down.

"Lan Fei Lin greets Master. Lan Fei Lin apologizes for attacking without confirming the target."

Looking at the kneeling Lan Fei Lin, Nan Hua didn't bother to care about the other party and bypassed her. She walked inside to check on Chen Yuan's niece, the little girl who had been abandoned by her mother and stayed by Si Mo Fan and Yan Xi's side.
