Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"General Xing is already there along with the other commanders," the soldier replied honestly. He could guess that Princess Jun only cared for General Xing. The other commanders were nothing more than icing in the cake.

Nan Hua nodded. "You can go back."

She also walked out of her temporary residence and headed to the direction of the barracks.

Let she see how Great General Wei will handle this matter.

…

<Long Qian Xing's side>

Long Qian Xing was being called early by Great General Wei to settle the position of the few commanders temporarily. After all, not everyone could attend the reward ceremony that Emperor Yang Zhou would hold in a few days or perhaps weeks after they had finished their allocation.

Some commanders were promoted temporarily for the sake of war. Some of them performed well and some others were not doing so well.

Those who didn't perform well enough could only return to their previous ranks.

Even some of them were demoted.

"First Young Commander Wei did well as 5000 men commander." Great General Wei looked at his son and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Thank you, Great General Wei." First Young Commander Wei, Wei Mu Bai, cupped his fist. His expression was calm as if everything was as what he had expected, but his fingers were actually clashed tightly. He had been waiting for this position for a long time. Being acknowledged by his father, he felt really relieved.

Great General Wei looked at his son and then turned to look at his daughter, Wei Mu Ya, who stood not far from Wei Mu Bai. Her performance in this battle was pretty good. At the very least, she didn't perform badly and could even be promoted.

But she was already approaching 20 years old. Her marriage's matter had been delayed for a long time, so he wanted to know her opinion first.

"Would you like to stay on the battlefield or return, Second Young Commander Wei?"

Wei Mu Ya heard her father's question and raised her head. She replied loudly, "Great General Wei, I would like to stay on the battlefield! I humbly request for your permission to continue on my career!"

For a woman in this era, not getting married at 20 years old meant that they were old maid. But Wei Mu Ya cared nothing for that. She had lived in a military family for her entire life. Her dream was to become a powerful general even if it meant that she might not be able to get married in her entire life. This was her obsession and also pursuit of life.

For the sake of fulfilling her dream, she had worked hard.

Countless days and night, working all day long, sweating, crying, and bleeding to the point of exhaustion.

All because she wanted to stay.

She didn't want to stay in the boudoir and unable to see the outside world for her entire life. Even if some women could accept such thing due to their education, she was different from them.

What she wanted was to see the outside world.

She knew that this kind of idea was not appreciated, especially coming from a woman that was looked down upon by many people.

But this was her dream.

She will fight for it.

"I understand. You will be promoted to 2000 men commander and accompany First Young Commander Wei to the west." Great General Wei looked at his daughter and nodded.

Wei Mu Ya's eyes brightened when she heard her father's words. She almost laughed out loud if not for the fact that they were still outside and there were people around her. Finally.

Her father finally approved her and allowed her to continue staying on the battlefield.

"Yes, thank you very much, Great General Wei." Wei Mu Ya clasped her fist together in excitement.

Her eyes were slightly red but she tried her best to restrain her emotion.

Beside her, Wei Mu Bai's eyes were full of praise and appreciation. He had seen his younger sister worked hard. Because of the lack of talent and ability, Wei Mu Ya hadn't been able to be promoted for years.

Now, this promotion is also the show of appreciation from their father.

This also meant that Wei Mu Ya is allowed to stay on the battlefield and fought for their kingdom.

Great General Wei looked at the two siblings and then walked to the other commanders who were waiting on the line. They were all small commanders but he had seen the record of their performance.

Some of them were well appreciated and some others could only look down in shame.

Many vowed to do better in the next battle.

Near the end of the line, Great General Wei looked at Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai. He had heard that they were doing quite well but unfortunately, Feng Ao Si was too reckless and ended up allowing some people to escape from the encirclement.

Truthfully, there were also those who escaped before they came but the fact that he moved too far was also the truth.

"First Young Commander Feng." Great General Wei said and Feng Ao Si subconsciously straightened his body, clearly feeling terrified and fearful. When facing Great General Wei, he still felt the great deterrence from the other party.

"Your action is too reckless. As a commander you have to pay more attention to the overall situation on the battlefield even if you're only a small commander." Great General Wei didn't want to speak too much but recalling this young man's grandfather, he chose to say a few more words. After all, he had good relationship with Old Master Nan. "Yes, Great General Wei!" Feng Ao Si felt his palm sweated. He knew that he would be punished when he heard Great General Wei's tone.

Beside Feng Ao Si, Feng Ao Kuai looked at Great General Wei and suddenly spoke out, "Great General Wei, pardon me for speaking out of my turn but it was my plan and instruction to First Young Commander Feng that caused him to enter the enemy's line too deeply. I failed to judge the situation and thought of using First Young Commander Feng's advantage that I neglected the backline."
