Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

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

While Old Master Nan was having a leisure time to think about his descendants' future life, it couldn't be said to be the same with the other people in the Capital City.

Now that Zhang Xu Kingdom had fallen, it was inevitable that some people began to make their moves. The spies planted by Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom had started to make their own preparation for various matters.

It would not be easy for them to continue their business smoothly.

The hidden atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Shangguan Yu was staying within his residence, looking over at a lot of documents that was placed in front of him. There was no emotion present on his face.

"Have they finally made their move?" Shangguan Yu asked, his tone was indifferent. 

There was no one around him, but the black guard he trained was hiding nearby. The number of black guards under Shangguan Family was not as many as other big families, but they were still very useful.

After Shangguan Yu took over the force under Princess Hu, they were now listening to his order and some others who were unwilling to listen or have double minds have been eliminated.

"Replying to Master, yes."

"Did they come to me?" Shangguan Yu's eyes glinted.

"No, Master. They're looking for Mang Mi."

Mang Mi, who used to be Shangguan Mi, was still in the same place as she used to be. Shangguan Yu never moved her away and didn't have any intention to do so. Those people didn't want to meet him directly because it would make it seem suspicious, so they could only come to his 'half sister.'

With her current status, no one would feel strange if she met with a lot of people. 

"I see." Shangguan Yu's expression was cold. "Since they have started to make their moves, then it's my turn soon."

He looked at the document on his table and the corner of his lips curled up to form a sneer. "Pay attention to the news from the frontline. Don't let anything leaked out."

"Yes!"

"Also…" Shangguan Yu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Let them figure these out slowly but surely."

"Yes, Master!"

…

<Long distance away, in a certain village>

The sound of laughter filled the area.

In this war ridden world, it was rare to find a peaceful place like this where the villagers were still happily laughing and playing with each other.

Most of the time, they were all filled with worries or depression.

It was even more so if they were living near the frontline. 

But it was different here.

The sound of laughter filled the area.

A group of people came to this village through walking. 

"Master, what are we doing here?" Feng Ao Si looked at the peaceful village in front of him, a bit confused why they were here in the first place. His new cheap master told him that he wanted to see someone, but Feng Ao Si didn't expect Chi Dong Wei to bring him to this village.

"I'm going to find an old general."

"An old general?" Feng Ao Si repeated in confusion. He looked around him and felt rather bewildered.

This was a relatively remote village with the cities a distance away from here. It was a bit inconvenient to communicate with the others in case there was something important.

Also, you're telling me that there's a general who lived here?

Is general so poor?

Why did they live in a small village?

And then Feng Ao Si thought about himself who lived near a village and rubbed his nose. Well, it seemed that this general might have married a village wife too?

"Old General Han! Are you here?" Chi Dong Wei shouted loudly.

Bang!

"The hell! Don't call me old! I'm still young and in my prime age!" An old man in his sixties or somewhere around that range, shouted in annoyance. "And I'm no longer a general, who would still call me with that title?"

Chi Dong Wei smiled faintly when he saw the old man. Many years have passed ever since he paid a visit to Old General Han. This old general used to be the General who brought him to the battlefield and allowed him to become a general later on.

After all, it was not easy for a commoner born person like him to rise in ranks. He had become literate and all, it was all thanks to this old man in front of him for giving him the chance when he was young.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything much to help Old General Han.

Old General Han was injured during one of the clashes between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom in the past. Great General Nan and Old General Han fought several rounds before he was ultimately defeated and chose to retire from the frontline.

"Old General Han," Chi Dong Wei repeated. 

"You are…" Old General Han looked at Chi Dong Wei in front of him and furrowed his eyebrows. It has been many years since they see each other and now, Chi Dong Wei had looked much older.

When they last met, Chi Dong Wei was still a handsome man in his thirties. Now, he had become an old man in his late forties. He would turn fifty in a few years and part of his hair had turned white due to age. Coupled with the wrinkles in his face, he no longer looked as handsome as he used to be.

Old General Han looked blankly at Chi Dong Wei before blurting out, "The Stupid Dong Wei?"

Chi Dong Wei: "…" how come you still remember this damned nickname you give me?

Feng Ao Si passed a look at Chi Dong Wei and thought in his heart, 'General Chi has such a nickname?'

His servants all tacitly looked away and pretended they didn't hear anything!

Even Dai also looked at the sky and pretended that the sky was too beautiful.
