Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 934: New Arrangement (3)

He thought that Chi Song Lian would be more aloof and didn't care too much about him. After all, many other high ranked commanders would feel that bringing a much lower ranked commander was so much of a hassle.     

But this time, they were all tasked this way because Wei Mu Bai wanted the young generations to grow up quickly.     

The war with other kingdoms would take a long time.     

And in this critical period of time, the younger generations had to learn faster so that they would be able to contribute more.     

But Chi Song Lian's words meant that he would be willing to help Nan Luo in this battle and allowed him to participate in the frontline. It was somewhat unexpected for Nan Luo because he knew very well that Nan Family and Chi Family didn't exactly have good relationship with each other.     

Chi Family's background made it a bit hard for them to truly integrate with Fei Yang Kingdom.     

Nan Luo was not clear about what had happened in the past, but he guessed that it must have been something important.     

"In that case, I would like to thank you first, Young Commander Chi." Nan Luo still performed etiquette perfectly with a smile on his face. He betrayed none of his confusion and suspiciousness.     

Chi Song Lian looked at Nan Luo, his eyes flashed with a faint light. "Alright, listen to my explanation in regards for the next battle."     

The two of them proceeded to talk about the tactics that Chi Song Lian usually used and how he wanted Nan Luo to take part. But after listening to it, Nan Luo pursed his lips.     

The degree of freedom was a bit too high.     

It was not like he was under Chi Song Lian but more like he was still fighting as the free small unit.     

Was Chi Song Lian so kind?     

Nan Luo didn't believe that Chi Song Lian had no other purpose. If Chi Song Lian was aiming for the power behind Nan Family, that would be highly impossible. Because everyone knew that Nan Family was just a small family that was slowly making their names.     

Great General Nan was still famous.     

But he was already advanced in age and couldn't possibly participate in the battlefield all the time. It was close to the time when he was supposed to retire, but being a stubborn old man, Old Master Nan would not be willing to put down his sword so easily.     

As for Nan Luo himself?     

He was still a small character not worth mentioning. While some people were optimistic of his future, that was still the future. No one knew what would happen in the future and everyone usually took the approach of waiting.     

"Do you have any questions, Young Commander Nan?" Chi Song Lian asked after he was done explaining.     

"With such high degree of freedom, is it still following the arrangement, Young Commander Chi?" Nan Luo decided to be blunt and asked what he wanted to know.     

Chi Song Lian arched his eyebrows. "There's no rule that determine how much you should be under my order."     

Even if he didn't give any order for Nan Luo, it was also fine.     

This sudden collaboration was simply to give these young people a chance to learn more while making their contribution.     

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "The matter of battle should stay at the frontline. If Young Commander Chi wished to play this arrangement, I will follow it."     

Hearing Nan Luo's words, Chi Song Lian took a deep breath. He should have expected that his little tactics were nothing in the eyes of others who were also used to the play of the politics.         

Even if Nan Luo didn't participate in the academy anymore for the past few years because he was active at the battlefield, he still had the previous experience. Following his so called father and being targeted at the academy, Nan Luo had long learned how to protect himself.     

At the very least, he would not be as straightforward and gullible like this oldest cousin.     

Chi Song Lian then replied, "Yes."     

"I will excuse myself. Thank you for the guidance today, Young Commander Chi. We shall meet on the battlefield tomorrow." Nan Luo cupped his fist and turned around. He silently cursed inside his mind.     

He came to the battlefield partly to avoid this kind of confrontation. Who would have thought that there will still be time when he had to use this kind of noble etiquette and so on again?     

It was really tiring.     

"Young Master Chi…" the adjutant called his young master when he saw Chi Song Lian fell into silence.     

"It's nothing." Chi Song Lian waved his hand.     

He only felt that he really shouldn't have thoughts he shouldn't have. Being so greedy would only result in his fall.     

With his background being from Zhang Xu Kingdom, he already had it difficult in Fei Yang Kingdom. Many people were unwilling to get close to him and still distrust him.     

For those insignificant people, Chi Song Lian didn't care in the slightest bit. But when he had something he wanted, this background just made it more difficult for him to move forward.     

"Should I persuade father to go back?" Chi Song Lian looked at his adjutant and asked in a faint voice.     

The adjutant's face changed. "Young Master, you must not say this again. Master had worked hard to be able to integrate into Fei Yang Kingdom. If they were to hear your words, all of his hard work will disappear. Not to mention, Zhang Xu Kingdom will never accept Master anymore."     

"Indeed."     

Zhang Xu Kingdom would never be able to forgive his father for picking Fei Yang Kingdom as his destination after getting out of Zhang Xu Kingdom.     

But what about him?     

If he were to switch his side, would Zhang Xu Kingdom accept him?     

Chi Song Lian took a deep breath and diminished the thought. Now that they were in the frontline, he just had to make sure that he did his work well and didn't daydream like this.
