Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

General Chi watched these people being dragged from their home with a pair of indifferent eyes. He thought that he would feel uncomfortable, but it turned out that he felt nothing.

It was as if these people had never been related to him in his entire life.

It was strange. 

"General Chi, he said that he wanted to tell you something," a soldier came forward and reported to General Chi.

General Chi looked at his third uncle, the most silent one in the entire Chi Family. He slowly walked forward to this uncle and looked at the person in front of him. 

"Do you have something to tell me?"

General Chi's third uncle looked at General Ch and nodded. "Come closer…. You deserve to know the truth."

The truth?

General Chi leaned closer as General Chi's third uncle whispered a few sentences to him. His eyes shook when he heard what General Chi's third uncle said and he looked at the person in front of him with disbelief.

But his third uncle coughed and looked away, not willing to look in General Chi's direction anymore.

His guilty conscience was clear.

General Chi took a deep breath and nodded. "Thank you."

General Chi's third uncle nodded and then lowered his head again. He didn't tell General Chi about this matter because he hoped that he would be saved. But he felt that if General Chi didn't know until his entire life, it was not fair for him.

But so much time has passed.

The truth no longer mattered so much for General Chi.

He stood up and back away to the safe place and watched the execution took place. His eyes regained their tranquility.

"General Chi." Prince Yang Lu called out.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"His Majesty asked me to tell you, 'The world is vast and the wind will show you the way. But if you ever feel at loss, the door will still be opened for you,'" Prince Yang Lu said slowly.

General Chi looked at Prince Yang Lu and one of his hand raised to his chest as he bowed. This was the only etiquette method possible for him after he had lost one of his arms. "Thank you, Your Highness. Please send my thanks to His Majesty and apology for I would not be able to tell him in person."

"I will, General Chi." Prince Yang Lu smiled. "May the Heaven be with you."

General Chi nodded.

Shangguan Yu was staying on his wheelchair and a man was pushing him to watch this execution. He was alone and his wife was already escorted back to the residence after he had to come out to watch this farce.

He looked at General Chi and chuckled. "Just this time, General Chi. For what you have done for the Kingdom."

General Chi looked at Shangguan Yu deeply and nodded. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Shangguan Yu waved his hand and his men pushed him away.

To be honest, he didn't want to meddle in this business in the slightest bit because he felt that it was unnecessary. Because for the sake of General Chi, there would be a lot of people who were willing to play along. 

But when he saw the look in General Chi's face, he chose to stay and be the one to give the order.

Besides, he didn't care about adding more blood to his already bloodstained hands.

Even if he had never stepped on the battlefield, the number of people who died in his hands were numerous. It was something that couldn't be changed at all.

Shangguan Yu didn't mind doing this favor.

But after this, he will continue to focus on what he has been doing. All while doing other works on the frontline like this. 

"I will take my leave now, General Chi." Prince Yang Lu also left.

He wanted to go back home and reunited with his wife rather than staying on this place and continued to smell the smell of blood from the platform.

This kind of move publicizing the deeds of these people will make people warrior of sending out any kind of news or helping other kingdoms. Because once they were found, their lifetime reputation would be destroyed.

It was very hard to build a good reputation but very easy to destroy their reputation.

General Chi watched as the two princes left before he also stepped away.

His first destination was the cemetery.

There was a cemetery not far from Yi Shang Temple. It was also the place where he buried the body of his first son, Chi Song Lian, a few years ago.

There were many people who were buried here because it was said that the Feng Shui was good. Though, General Chi honestly didn't understand that Feng Shui or anything and only felt that it was good.

He made his way to the cemetery.

There were only a few people who followed him, his faithful servants who refused to leave and wanted to follow him for their entire life.

General Chi couldn't stop them.

He simply let them follow him if they truly wanted to.

Slowly, General Chi stopped in front of a tomb. There was a text written as 'Chi Song Lian' on the surface of the rock. He looked at the rock silently.

"Chi Song Lian, your father is going to leave. The world is vast and it's time for me to take a look at it. It might be a bit late for me, who's already almost fifties to walk around the world. But I can't really find any place that belong to me here. I hope you're doing well over there," General Chi said unhurriedly.

The rock remained motionless.

Well, in the first place, it was impossible to move. 

Tep.

General Chi heard a faint footsteps and turned his head to the side. He saw a monk came while carrying the usual beads and also flower. As for how he knew it was a monk, it was naturally because of the clothing and that bald head.
