FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

“Sure.” Long Qian Xing beckoned for Sheng Shan Lang to go.

“Thank you.”

“Pay attention to the direction of the hooves. They might try to trick you through the trails. Make sure that you pay attention if there’s any marks being erased.” Long Qian Xing pointed at the trails that were directed towards the bandits’ hideout.

“Yes, Young Commander Long.” Sheng Shan Lang cupped his fist politely. No matter what, Long Qian Xing’s rank is higher than him, so he had to listen to Long Qian Xing’s words.

After that, Sheng Shan Lang arranged for his people to follow him. He took around 2000 men with him and walked into the forest. Their progress would be slower, but they would be ready for a battle right away.

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. “So, we’re waiting here?”𝗇𝑜𝗏𝔢𝓵𝗇𝗲xt.𝕔𝞸𝗆

“No, we’re following them.” Long Qian Xing glanced at Feng Ao Si. “Do you really want to do nothing?”

“No.”

In fact, Feng Ao Si was also itching for another battle. As a person who liked to fight, Feng Ao Si had to admit that his nature was also someone who liked to challenge himself and fought against other people.

Nan Luo stretched his hand. “Brother Si, how about if you arrange your soldiers to protect the villagers. Who knows that there might be some roaming bandits around who attack them.”

“Oh right.” Feng Ao Si thought for a moment and nodded.

Dai was staring at Feng Ao Si and really wanted to say that the other adjutants were already there to guard the villagers. Is there any need for him to go and follow them again?

However, he shut his mouth when he saw Nan Luo’s gaze.

Among the three young masters, the one with the highest authority in his mind was Feng Ao Kuai, followed by Nan Luo, and lastly Feng Ao Si. Since Nan Luo wanted Feng Ao Si to go back, Dai can only follow the order.

If Feng Ao Si knew that in the heart of his adjutant that his words were not as good as his cousin and younger brother, he might want to cry.

Are you their adjutant or his adjutant?

After Feng Ao Si walked away, Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Luo. “You don’t want him to follow?”

“My cousin is a bit impulsive and not suitable for this kind of silent mission.” Nan Luo knew Feng Ao Si quite well. If Feng Ao Si followed them, he had the feeling that his cousin might make his move when they were following the trails when they encountered the bandits.

Long Qian Xing nodded and didn’t ask anymore.

Nan Luo and the others walked to follow the trail and also the army that had left with Sheng Shan Lang not long ago. Looking at the dense forest at the front, Nan Luo frowned.

“Will this take a long time to settle?”

“The number of bandits shouldn’t be that large. Even if there are a lot of them, we also bring reinforcement with us.” Long Qian Xing pointed to the soldiers who were following behind their back.

Nan Hua was paying attention to the trails that had somehow faded because Sheng Shan Lang was walking through the path. She knew that they would enter the mountain range soon and the bandit’s headquarter was probably located in the mountain range.

It was quite a good hiding place considering how lush this place is.

“Are these bandits truly have relationship with Zhang Xu Kingdom?”

“I don’t know,” Long Qian Xing admitted frankly. “This is why we need to confirm that the two have relationship through this battle.”

“How?” Nan Luo was curious.

“Look at their place.”

Look at their place?

Nan Luo didn’t quite understand, but then he heard the sound of battle from the distance. Looking from the direction, it was not that far from them.

“Come here.” Nan Hua pointed to one side and then climbed a big rock before stopping there. This area was somewhat covered with the lush trees and bushes, but it still provided them with the clear view to look at the ongoing battle at the front.

Sheng Shan Lang was leading his men, rushing towards the bandits and killing most of them who dared to resist.

The number of bandits were not too large, but it would still take some time for Sheng Shan Lang to deal with it. And from looking at it, they knew that he didn’t need any help from them.

“Young Commander Sheng is not bad.” Nan Luo nodded.

“He’s also aiming to become a general in the future.” Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes. “Among the younger generation, only one person had managed to become a general. How many generals do you think will be necessary for Fei Yang Kingdom to truly become the victor among the other kingdoms?”

They had conquered Wei Da Kingdom, but Wei Da Kingdom was also known as the weakest kingdom among the others. Right now, Zhang Xu Kingdom, Fan Yi Kingdom, and Shi Long Kingdom were all strengthening themselves.

There were more new generals on the other three kingdoms lately.

And it wouldn’t be as easy to defeat them as they had done so far. The stalemate between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom so far had already proven how hard it was for them to advance.

“A lot of generals?” Nan Luo was not sure.

“Perhaps.” Long Qian Xing didn’t elaborate any longer.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes and then looked at the fierce battle at the front. Alright, it was not that fierce as Sheng Shan Lang had the absolute advantage from the very beginning.

“Are we going to launch an attack against Zhang Xu Kingdom directly?”

“No.” Long Qian Xing shook his head. “We’ll be in stalemate with them for the time being and strengthen our military and pull the people who previously belong to Wei Da Kingdom into Fei Yang Kingdom. After that, the real fierce battle will begin.”

“I see.” Nan Luo nodded.

If they didn’t stabilize it first while maintaining this delicate balance with the other kingdoms, it was estimated that they wouldn’t be able to survive.

It was indeed not so easy to attack other kingdoms when there were also others eyeing them.
