FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

“When do you think it’ll be?” Nan Luo asked slowly. He wanted to know so that he could guess what his rank would be.

However, he guessed that he wouldn’t be able to advance from his rank as a 2000 men commander anytime soon. His grandfather wouldn’t allow him to reach higher ranks without him having the real capabilities to back it up.

“Perhaps next year.” Long Qian Xing was not so sure about it either.

Anyway, it would be better for them to maintain this stalemate with Zhang Xu Kingdom for the time being as they integrate the people from Wei Da Kingdom into Fei Yang Kingdom. In addition, Long Qian Xing was sure that Prime Minister Lei from Zhang Xu Kingdom was also planning to strengthen Zhang Xu Kingdom even more.

Without that person ascending to become the Emperor, the movement Prime Minister Lei could do was more limited.

But Long Qian Xing had no capabilities to directly involve himself in the inner politics of Zhang Xu Kingdom yet. Even if they have spies, the number would still limit what they could do when they reach Zhang Xu Kingdom and Long Qian Xing would not move his chess pieces unless it was necessary.

He wanted to let them grow and hide as much as possible so that he would be able to deal the most lethal blow when it was time.

And during this period of time, both Zhang Xu Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom would have internal problem they needed to solve. So it was also the perfect time for Fei Yang Kingdom to solve their internal problem.

“What do you think, Nan?” Nan Luo asked.

“Next year.” Nan Hua didn’t say anything else. She knew what had happened in the inner court of the other kingdoms because she had read about them. But since there were some things that she had changed, she wouldn’t be able to tell the specific reasons either.

In any case, she knew that there will be a change in the ruler in Zhang Xu Kingdom soon, which couldn’t be stopped. The people she had planted in Zhang Xu Kingdom was still limited in number and didn’t have real power yet.

They couldn’t do anything.

So she wouldn’t deploy them.

For the time being, she would just let everything unfolded as it should be while she was watching from the distance.

“You sound so sure.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua. He was itching to pick that silver mask and take a good look on his little fiancée’s face. After not seeing her for a long time, he truly wanted to know how much she had grown.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and averted her eyes. “Prime Minister Lei’s ambition is not fully hidden. And the current Emperor of Zhang Xu Kingdom is not exactly a person who had such capability and quality to lead.”

Instead, it was the prince who had some similar characteristic with Emperor Yang Zhou and some remarkable vision.

However, Nan Hua would not say it.

There was no way that she would have known about the Imperial Family in Zhang Xu Kingdom so well based on her identity. She didn’t want to tell these two about the fact that she ‘knew’ a bit about the future.

Well, not exactly a bit.

It was just that there were some things that she knew.

“I see.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. He felt that he might have truly never known about his fiancée after the previous interaction. However, instead of feeling annoyed, he was instead intrigued.

He wanted to know more.

Nan Luo watched their interaction and felt baffled. There was clearly nothing strange with their conversation, but why did he feel that the atmosphere was wrong?

“The battle is almost over, shall we go over to check?” Nan Luo decided to change the conversation.

“Ok.”

Leading the small group of soldiers, they walked forward. At this time, Sheng Shan Lang had ordered his soldiers to tie up some of the bandits and also released the women they captured. His face was not good because he had seen what these people were doing.

It was not a good sight.

“Anything?” Nan Luo asked.

“They’re cruel and ruthless.” Sheng Shan Lang glanced at Nan Luo. “And there might be more people like this from Zhang Xu Kingdom.”

“In the first place, don’t you already know that?” Nan Luo asked back. “For them to be able to stand firmly in the first place and also use a lot of ingenious tricks had shown that they’re all very ruthless.”

“Yeah.”

Sheng Shan Lang looked at these people and shook his head lightly. He didn’t want to care about them that much anymore. Anyway, it was not necessary for him to take care of the bandits after handing them over.

He wouldn’t be assigned here again after this battle.𝗇𝑜𝗏𝔢𝓵𝗇𝗲xt.𝕔𝞸𝗆

From what he had heard, he would be returning to the inner side of Fei Yang Kingdom because there was a lack of soldiers. No matter how much they wanted to expand their territory, they had to ensure their own territory to be safe first.

And this role fell on his lap.

Oh well, it didn’t matter to him.

He will just have to work harder.

Swish!

While Nan Luo and Sheng Shan Lang were discussing the matter of the bandits and how to hand them over midway without interfering with their mission, Nan Hua walked into the building and scanned the messy room.

She rummaged the area and then picked up a token on the ground.

Looking at the words written on top of it, Nan Hua knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom was making use of the organization under them to avoid the matter falling into their head. After all, the existences of these organizations were not exactly under them.

At the very least, it was not publicly acknowledged.

The words written on top of the token is ‘Thousand Needles.’

The medical and both assassination organization under Zhang Xu Kingdom whom Nan Hua had been watching for a period of time but hadn’t had the time or means to deal with them yet so far.
