Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1719 Feng Ao Kuai’s Position

Fei Yang Kingdom's situation has been very delicate.

After the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was certain that the other three kingdoms would not be willing to let Fei Yang Kingdom grew even more stronger. Because if Fei Yang Kingdom grew much stronger, it meant that their position would decline and they could even possibly be eliminated like the other two kingdoms.

Sense of crisis spread, prompting them to start making their move to stop Fei Yang Kingdom from achieving their goal.

All generals were busy on various frontline, fighting again and again. They had to defend Fei Yang Kingdom until it was time for the next war expedition.

They had to wait until they completely conquer Zhang Xu Kingdom because there was still a general waging war against Great General Wei on the west area. The battles hadn't ended yet.

But both Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom were very impatient.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Nan Family Residence>

Old Master Nan has been resisting the officials' urge to send him back to the frontline or to the Central Area. He didn't want to go and after a lot of tug and pull, the Emperor finally settled to let Old Master Nan rest.

The reason?

He's already old and couldn't be so active on the frontline anymore. Rather than having him busy on the frontline again, it would be better to let him stay on the back and rested properly so that he would be able to use his ability on the frontline again.

The most important thing is that…

His grandson is about to get married.

"I didn't expect that I'll be able to see this day." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson, who was busy instructing the servants for the marriage's ceremony with emotion.

When these brats were still young, he has been worried about his health and the fact that he still has to go to the battlefield. There were too many factors on the frontline and Old Master Nan couldn't be sure that he would be able to come back alive.

But thankfully, the younger generations in Fei Yang Kingdom were all very powerful and able to take charge of it.

This led to him staying on the back most of the time and didn't put himself in danger.

Time passed and these children had grown up.

Now, he could even see his second grandson's marriage.

Now, Old Master Nan was sincerely hoping to be able to see his great grandson and also his other two grandchildren's marriage.Google seaʀᴄh ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Feng Ao Kuai had just sent away the last servant and turned around. He looked at his grandfather helplessly. "Grandpa, I'm already 20 years old. I'm old enough to get married now but it doesn't mean that I'm going to stay away all the time."

"Not going to stay away all the time what? You've been on the frontline for so many years, do you think that you can make up for it now?" Old Master Nan roared.

"Grandpa…"

"Hmph!" Old Master Nan snorted. "For the sake of your future wife, I'll tolerate you. However, I hope you don't get distracted because there will be tasks from the Emperor later. You and your cousin both passed the Imperial Examination."

The examination was done a long time ago and the result has been posted. However, these people still didn't have official position yet aside from the ranks and had to attend the morning court until the end of autumn because of the debate about where they would be placed.

After all, Zhang Xu Kingdom had fallen and this area now urgently needed more officials to fill the empty positions.

Some people were trying to take the position and some others didn't want to.

Those who already build their power in the Capital City naturally didn't want to be tossed faraway but those who didn't have much power would rather be sent to a new place.

Looking at his grandson, Old Master Nan had an inkling that he knew what Feng Ao Kuai wanted to do.

"I know. The decision for the position will depend on what the Emperor wants and a small official like me couldn't influence it." Feng Ao Kuai smiled brightly.

Small official?

Old Master Nan looked at Feng Ao Kuai and sneered. He must be dumb to worry about his grandson. After the result of the examination was posted, Feng Ao Kuai was undoubtedly the champion in the examination.

His result and thoughts far exceeded the others.

This made him wonder whether Feng Ao Kuai is his grandson or not. There didn't seem to be anyone from Feng Family or Nan Family who had the same intelligence as Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai.

But in the end, he tossed the thoughts behind.

So what if there was no predecessor?

It just meant that these two were very good!

And because Feng Ao Kuai is the champion, he had become the fifth ranked official in one go. The Emperor wanted to promote him further but in the end didn't do so because of his young age.

Even so, Feng Ao Kuai's rank had already become some controversial talk among the few people in the Capital City.

But because Feng Ao Kuai was keeping a low profile and didn't make any shot, no one said anything to him directly. They only think that this young man was very good but didn't dare to say anything else.

Anyway, Feng Ao Kuai's achievement on the battlefield was also for them to see.

Fifth rank is still in the middle.

It was not too high, so it was still acceptable to them.

But because of the problem of the officials' location due to the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, he and the few other new officials still didn't have any formal position aside from helping the other officials yet.

"Did you make a request?"

"I'm planning to do so after my marriage." Feng Ao Kuai was calm. "Being too hasty and too abrupt wouldn't earn me anything. Only if I'm being stable and show that I can be useful would he chose to consider me."
