Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1577 Date

"Hmm?" Nan Hua asked back, tilting her head slightly.

Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua's gesture, feeling that his fingers itched badly. If not because they were outside and the custom of this world was very limiting, he would have long wanted to touch Nan Hua's head and petted her badly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. 

He had the feeling that Nan Hua purposely did it, but he didn't have the evidence. Especially when he thought of Nan Hua's usual way of doing things.

"While there are still some ruckuses at the border, but there's no hurry for you to go to the battlefield again. What are you plan to do for the time being?" Long Qian Xing repeated his question through different wording.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Now that she was already promoted to be a general, it was indeed not appropriate for her to simply 'disappear' out of nowhere. It was a bit of a hassle, but Nan Hua was the one who made the decision and knew that she had to follow this path.

Since she's now a general, she had to act out this role well without leaving any problems that could be picked out by others in the future. 

"I'll be going to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City for the time being. His Majesty will be returning and following the entourage to protect His Majesty should be good," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.

Emperor Yang Zhou definitely wouldn't stay in Liang City for his entire life. After this celebration, it should take a few days for him to return and after this, he would probably not leave the Capital City unless there was an emergency.

Coming for this war this time was already considered his willfulness. 

He would not make such move again.

But for him to return to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, it would be impossible without the protection of a large number of people. Nan Hua had some business in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, so following Emperor Yang Zhou should be a good reason.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "What a coincidence, I would also return to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City."

To be exact, Prime Minister Lan dragged him and made him promise to escort Emperor Yang Zhou back. 

It was impossible for Great General Wei to leave and the other general who would follow them back was General Chi because of his injury. In such situation, the only person that was suitable enough to protect Emperor Yang Zhou and could be trusted more was Long Qian Xing.

If Nan Hua wanted to come, they wouldn't reject her.

Having the protection of another general, who wouldn't want it?

Though, Long Qian Xing had the feeling that Prime Minister Lan might come to him and asked him severely about his relationship with General Jun.

"Yes, I know, Brother Long," Nan Hua replied. She had guessed that he would come back, so in this journey, they should be able to go together.

But probably there wouldn't be many rooms for interaction since Long Qian Xing would be responsible for Emperor Yang Zhou's safety. In this war, the one who had been protecting Emperor Yang Zhou closely was Great General Wei and next, it would be Long Qian Xing's turn. 

Long Qian Xing thought of his grandmother and then added, "Grandmother missed you very much, do you mind paying a visit to her?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She was playing dead for the past few years because she wanted to participate in the war. Even though she had sent a letter to Old Madam Long, telling her that she was still alive and that the farce was nothing more than a drama, she could guess that Old Madam Long might not feel completely at ease.

Feeling a bit bad for Old Madam Long, Nan Hua nodded. "I'll pay a visit."

"That's good." Long Qian Xing smiled.

If Old Madam Long were to know that her good grandson was using her name again, she would definitely be speechless.

Did this brat didn't have anyone else he could use to coax his girl?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, how useless.

But thankfully, Old Madam Long didn't know.

Nan Hua nodded. "The war is difficult but thankfully it had passed."

The process of the war that she experienced was somewhat different from what she had read. But since she had decided to do this, she will do her best and made sure that everything end well.

"The most surprising thing is Fang Sheng Lin." Long Qian Xing sighed. "I didn't know what that idiot had been doing for the past few years to be able to hide his thoughts in front of Prime Minister Lei."

"He just have to be himself." Nan Hua shrugged. "If he can't act, he just had to be himself and try to avoid the topic that was not beneficial for him."

Just like how her cousin, Feng Ao Si, was always avoiding topic that he didn't like.

Long Qian Xing thought of it and sighed. Stupid people did have the advantage of being stupid. He shook his head. "I guess I'll have no other choice but to fetch him and taught him some things."

"His condition is not too good even though he's still strong." Nan Hua didn't know how to describe it. When she checked Fang Sheng Lin, she could guess that he was overdrawing his life force through a way that looked mysterious for her. At least, it was hard to be able to create a medicine nor machine like that.

Be it in this world or in their previous world. 

"He had told me about it." Long Qian Xing had heard of Fang Sheng Lin's condition. "He didn't have any regret left even if his lifespan is not long."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

So it meant that the price Fang Sheng Lin had to pay was his lifespan.

Since his price was lifespan, she shouldn't be the same. But Nan Hua was not entirely sure and would go and check those books when she returned to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.
