Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1461 Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing’s Night Talk

"Would you participate in the battle tomorrow, Princess Jun?" Long Qian Xing asked, his tone was calm and somewhat kinder.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "I have come here. Participating in the battle should be my way of showing my contribution."

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Even without contribution, I don't think there will be any problem."

"I wished to help reducing the casualties," Nan Hua said honestly.

The main reason why she wanted to participate in the war was because she wished that with her helping them, the number of casualties would be reduced. That way, there would be more people whose life would not be destroyed.

War had already caused a lot people's life to be lost.

She only wished to help a bit so that many people could still preserve their lives and didn't have to be sacrificed for the sake of victory.

Hearing Nan Hua's words, Long Qian Xing was a bit stunned. He smiled faintly. "You have noble aspiration, Princess Jun."

"That's only half of my reason."

"And the other half?"

"I want to fight alongside you," Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing seriously.

Long Qian Xing paused and looked at Nan Hua. Seeing her serious expression, he knew that he was saying this seriously. However, he still couldn't help but have some thoughts that he really shouldn't have.

A smile formed on his lips. "I'm happy that Nan Hua is willing to stay with me and fight alongside me."

Even if Long Qian Xing is powerful, an ally like Nan Hua is good for him.

"Would you like to cooperate tomorrow?" Nan Hua suddenly asked. On her missions, she could usually do it alone. But in the large battlefield like this, it would be impossible for her to do it alone and required other people's help.

Long Qian Xing is also a very good ally.

"What's your plan?"

"I want to kill General Shang," Nan Hua said frankly.

Hearing Nan Hua's ambitious goal, Long Qian Xing fell silent. He had the feeling that the current Nan Hua, who was more frank and honest, made him somewhat unable to follow for a bit. But such a Nan Hua was also really attractive.

It seemed that no matter what Nan Hua was doing, Long Qian Xing would still think that she was good.

"Do you have any plan?"

"Fight against him openly." Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "I don't know how I compare against real general."

"If you can't defeat him fairly, you can always use some tricks…" Long Qian Xing then paused. It seemed that in terms of tricks, he also couldn't defeat Nan Hua because it was basically her specialization.

Seemingly able to perceive what Long Qian Xing was thinking, Nan Hua responded, "I have several hidden knifes, poisons, and needles ready to be used."

Long Qian Xing: "…" should I be careful when I'm near you?

Knowing Nan Hua's abilities, Long Qian Xing then chuckled lightly. "Since that's the case, I believe you can do it."

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing's solemn gaze. He trusted her completely and his gaze clearly showed that. Some unknown feelings sprouted out from the bottom of her heart, making her feel warm.

"Um."

Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.

At the back, Nan Si had only wanted to give report of the Mountain Tribe's losses, he saw the two of them and felt that there was a barrier that preventing him to get close.

For some reason, he had the feeling that he shouldn't disturb the two of them.

"You're Si right?" Long Ai Ning, Long Xu's sister who came to help with the food, saw Nan Si stood not far from the tent, looking towards the campfire.

"Yes, Miss Ai Ning."

"Don't be so polite." Long Ai Ning grinned. She looked at the two leaders who were talking with each other and pointed to the makeshift kitchen at the back. "Come here and wait with me. Don't disturb the two of them."

Nan Si watched Long Ai Ning's gaze and then nodded. "Ok."

"Good." Long Ai Ning led Nan Si away while chatting, "My brother said that when Young Master Long is with Princess Jun or with his fiancée, we're not allowed to get close at all. At least, a distance of 10 meters is required if we still want to keep our lives."

10 meters?

Nan Si blinked his eyes.

Nan Hua didn't seem to have given them any of such instruction. But seeing how the two of them interacted, he also didn't want to disturb them.

"We're here." Long Ai Ning grinned. "Let me prepare dinner for you too."

"I have dry rations."

"Bah, who liked to eat that thing? It's better to eat some warm meal! Don't worry, you don't have to pay since you're currently part of the army," Long Ai Ning continued to chatter and prepared the bowl with warm soup.

Nan Si looked at the soup and at Long Ai Ning, who was looking at him with her doe and big eyes. In the end, he sighed and ate the soup.

There was nothing wrong with eating some warm meal from time to time.

In the end, it was only late at night when Nan Si finally came to Nan Hua to report the losses. Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing still talked a bit more about their deployment for some time before they were back to rest.

"Miss," Nan Si called out.

Nan Hua was inside her tent with Chu Yue, who was busy cleaning things up.

"Say."

"A tenth of the soldiers from the Mountain Tribe are injured. Around 100 of them might not be able to participate in the battle tomorrow."

"Let them rest." Nan Hua had no intention to be a tyrant and let the soldiers rest from time to time.

"Yes!"

Chu Yue took the basin of water for Nan Hua. "Miss, please wash up first."

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Nan Hua looked at the basin of water and felt that it was too much trouble.

"Miss is at the frontline and the resources might be limited, but miss is still a young lady, so cleanliness is still important." Chu Yue smiled. "Shall this servant help?"
