Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua rested for several hours.

When she woke up in the afternoon, she heard that Long Qian Xing had returned with the head of Heavenly General Zhang and had his wounds bandaged properly. This caused Nan Hua to be stunned.

She knew that Long Qian Xing would be treated by the female lead.

But based on what she knew, Long Qian Xing shouldn't have been able to defeat Heavenly General Zhang because his martial arts were far higher than Long Qian Xing. Even if they were in the river, it was impossible for Long Qian Xing to suddenly grew stronger and defeat Heavenly General Zhang so easily.

Did something change?

Nan Hua was confused, but she couldn't possibly ask Long Qian Xing about it directly.

"Nan, we have to start cleaning up."

"Yes."

…

The Joint Army.

Their mood was all time low. All of them knew that when they returned, they would all be reprimanded so harshly that it was possible for some of them to even lose their lives.

Prime Minister Lei's face was very dark. In fact, his face was one of the few who was the darkest among them all. He looked like he was ready to murder anyone who dared to stand in front of him.

"Prime Minister Lei, at least this trip is not that all bad."

"Not all that bad?" Prime Minister Lei looked at the man before him and snorted. "I never thought that General Long's enraged mode is so horrifying." It seems that I have to urge the Lin Family to finish their project faster.

He had some agreement with Lin Family about their project and even agreed with what they wanted to do. However, the project wasn't ripe yet and there was a bit of impatient considering that Emperor Yang Zhou would be of age soon and had his inauguration ceremony.

Thus, Prime Minister Lei took this chance to attack.

Who would have thought that the attack resulted in utter defeat like this and he even lost Heavenly General Zhang?

"Long Qian Xing…" Prime Minister Lei muttered the youth's name.

He never thought much about Long Qian Xing. In his eyes, Long Qian Xing was not any different from the other rising young commander who were currently making their name thorough the battlefield. He was only slightly better in terms of martial arts and had some leadership ability.

But this time war caused his perception to change slightly.

No matter how much Heavenly General Zhang had been wearied down by Great General Shangguan before, he was not someone an ordinary youth would be able to defeat. And yet, the fact that Long Qian Xing killed him and even returned with his head was a fact that no one could deny.

With this, it was clear that Long Qian Xing was either so lucky or he really had the ability.

Prime Minister Lei was more inclined on the first option, but he was not the type of person who would leave things on chance.

He would investigate this young man deeply.

After all, he was sure that sooner or later, Fei Yang Kingdom would surely set their eyes on Zhang Xu Kingdom.

'Your Highness…. Please grow up faster. The day you take the throne is the day Zhang Xu Kingdom shall reclaim its glory.'

Prime Minister Lei's eyes glinted but he said nothing on the surface.

He was not the only one who was suffering.

At the other side, Wu San Sao was clenching his fist so tightly. His father was deeply injured and he lost his brother. One day, he would face that Long Qian Xing once more and at that time, he would make sure to defeat the other party so thoroughly that Long Qian Xing would never be able to be alive again.

He will avenge his brother.

The one who was most relaxed was Qi Kan Tian. He didn't really participate as he ordered his general to stay idle at the back and basically did nothing for most of the battle. There was rarely any chance for him to even do anything because Wei Da Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom were so passionate.

It could be said that Qi Xi Kingdom was basically only tagging along this time.

But Qi Kan Tian still acted as if he was upset.

Only Qi Xue, who was staying beside Qi Kan Tian, knew that the Emperor was actually very relaxed and had everything in his palm. She silently wondered just where did the cute kid from back then disappeared to.

Those who survived in this long joint war all had their own mind.

When they returned, they would have to face their punishment.

Right now, Nan Hua hadn't realized it herself, but the gear had started to move. With the additional gear she placed here and there, the bigger picture had started to change once more.

…

East Area.

"Father, I'm really fine…"

Long Qian Xing was dumbfounded when he saw his father and heard that his father had basically killed thousands of soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom when he thought that Long Qian Xing had died. It seemed that if he truly died, the entire Zhang Xu Kingdom would turn flat because General Long would target them continuously.

But that was only Long Qian Xing's thoughts.

General Long looked at his only son and nodded. "It's good you're okay."

After saying that, General Long turned around and left.

Shangguan Xiao watched from the side and nearly tripped on the air when he saw how nonchalant General Long was.

Was it really the same General Long who brutally marched into the enemy's headquarter in the middle of the night?

Was it really the same person who was massacring everyone because he was so enraged after he thought that he lost his only son?

Was it really the one who ordered night raid because he was so angry?

Shangguan Xiao was so speechless that he felt his jaw could open so big that it reached the floor.
