FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

“Prepare for battle. General Shang will arrive soon enough.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers had various expression on their faces. But the most prominent was the look of indignation.

Many of them felt that they had lost without fighting a battle because General Shang ordered them to retreat first. If they had been there, the outcome might be different and they could fight to their bitter end for Zhang Xu Kingdom.

The Commander saw their expression but said nothing.

General Shang was a conservative type of general who would calculate his gain and losses very clearly. But this type of generals often made decision that others couldn’t accept so easily.

Unlike Prime Minister Lei who strike more victories and had brought countless gains, General Shang was more of a defensive general. He was valued because of his prowess to defend the frontline but in terms of popularity and prestige, he was far lower than many other generals.

Who liked defense?

Many hot blooded man would rather raise their weapon and strike head on to their enemy’s headquarters even at the cost of their lives.

The Commander said nothing and only ordered them to move.

At the side, Chi Song Hui was sitting on top of his horse. His hand was throbbing due to the wound he sustained after battle against Mu Sheng Xi yesterday. General Shang ordered him to retreat this morning, so Chi Song Hui regrouped with this other group.

He looked at the fire and felt indignant.

His soldiers who could move still numbered more than 1000. If he had been there, couldn’t he help General Shang to prevent them from retreating like this?

Chi Song Hui was annoyed.

But his position was not suitable for him to speak up about this matter. He could only bury this matter in his heart and hoped that he could recover quickly and participated in the next battle.

‘Damn it, old man. The next time, I’ll be the one to defeat you.’

Beside Chi Song Hui, his adjutant looked at the commander in front of him and shook his head. He felt that the Jian Family’s decision to support Chi Song Hui was wrong.

However, as a servant, what could he do?

He could only follow their arrangement and do his work to the best.

The day passed by.

General Chi didn’t hold on General Shang for long because it was simply impossible. Their number was not overwhelming nor did their strength. He could only retreat when the gong sounded along with the other commanders.

When he came back, he saw Long Qian Xing was already ordering the soldiers to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow.

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm “There won’t be any battle tomorrow?” General Chi asked.

“I have destroyed their headquarters.” Long Qian Xing glanced at General Chi. “It’s more likely they will retreat, so our next battle will be city capturing battle.”

“Got it.”I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

In terms of seniority, General Chi was naturally older and more senior than Long Qian Xing. But in terms of battle capability, it was really hard to say that that General Chi was better than Long Qian Xing.

For the past few years, the name of Long Qian Xing had been more famous than before. Not to mention, many of his war achievement was something that General Chi couldn’t possibly replicate in his life.

He could only sigh and be in awe.

This pair of father and child from Long Family was truly remarkable.

Why couldn’t his own son also be that good?

“Take rest for tonight. It has been hard on you.” Long Qian Xing patted General Chi’s shoulder and then walked away.

Watching Long Qian Xing’s back, General Chi sighed. If only General Long could be as good as Long Qian Xing, it would have been much better. He could only remember the days when he was being so pissed off when he was facing Long Ao Ming.

That man didn’t like him and didn’t have any qualms in showing it on his face and action so blatantly.

In contrast, Long Qian Xing was somewhat more polite but harder to read.

Should he say… the Long Family was really annoying?

General Chi shook his head.

While General Chi was arranging for his soldiers to rest and told them about tomorrow’s arrangement, Long Qian Xing made his way to Nan Luo’s camp shamelessly again. By this time, the other young commanders had already gotten used to see Long Qian Xing coming to join them for dinner.

They didn’t understand why this general would mix with them, though.

After all, in the past, they could rarely see Long Qian Xing as he was still busy in his own camp and would not pay a visit to the other young commanders. If there was no business, why would he bother to leave his camp?

Only Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai knew very well why this general was here.

“General Xing,” they all greeted.

Long Qian Xing nodded and spotted Nan Hua who was sitting slightly at the back. “You can continue talking, I have something to ask Adjutant Nan.”

“Yes.”

Mu Sheng Xi looked in Nan Hua’s direction before looking away once more. He had heard about this peculiar adjutant who was really remarkable to the point that obtaining great merit back then. For many people, this adjutant’s existence made them pay more attention to Nan Family.

It was just unfortunate that this peculiar adjutant rarely stayed at the battlefield with Nan Luo and only occasionally. At other times, he would disappear as if he didn’t exist.

And no one knew this adjutant real face because he always wore a mask.

It would be a lie if Mu Sheng Xi said that he was not curious. However, he would not ask such a tactless question.

Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. “Say, is General Xing trying to recruit your adjutant, Luo?”

He’s not recruiting but courting.

Nan Luo complained internally but didn’t dare to mention it outwards. He looked at his older cousin and shook his head. “He’s just appreciative of talent.”

“Huh?”
