FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 954: The Truth



Chapter 954: The Truth

Under Mu Sheng Xi, the interrogation didn’t actually last that long.         

The youth was able to speak properly and managed to tell the truth about what actually happened. Even though he was also threatened to tell about why he joined, which was actually a crime.     

They learned how these people were tasked to kill those closest to them if they wanted to get away safely without anyone knowing the truth.     

And it did happen.     

They were brought away and no one could find them anymore because they were staying within a secluded valley.     

There were a lot of things they were ordered to do afterwards.     

“Kill the one closest to you.” Mu Sheng Xi’s heart turned cold when he looked at the report he had written. Even though he was the one who write it, he still felt that it was really inhuman to make them do something like that.     

“They’re trying to make these people cross their own bottom line.” Feng Ao Kuai handed the copy of the report to the servants. They had to give the report for both the governor and also General Wei. “That way, they would have no way out even if they eventually regret their decision to join this.”

“Indeed.”     

If they killed their own family member, they wouldn’t have any place to return. But for many of them, they were faced with the choices of bearing the criminal name for their entire life.     

Not all of them would be able to withstand it.     

The sheer pressure from that fact alone had made them cower, thus they decided to do anything as long as they could get away.     

This was the result.     

Even when they got away, their lives were not any better than when they were living as prisoners. In fact, it might be worse considering that their lifespan wouldn’t be longer than a year of time if they didn’t stop consuming the drugs.     

“What’s our plan next?” Feng Ao Si asked.     

“We’ll ask that youth to show the way.” Mu Sheng Xi rubbed his head.     

Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t you find it strange for him to be the only one to have lower drugs in his system?”     

The others were all already too late to save.     

Nan Hua had checked on all of them, including the one who had broken bones because he was crushed by Feng Ao Si. Based on her diagnosis, there was no way these people could last longer.     

Thus, one person having much lower concentration of the drug naturally piqued their interest. It was impossible for him not to.     

“Even if I do find it strange, what other option do I have?” Mu Sheng Xi asked back.     

They didn’t have any other clues.     

The people who suddenly turn crazy didn’t show their strange behavior just recently. In fact, no one felt that they were strange and they didn’t even show anything new for the past few weeks.     

No lead.     

And the only person who could possibly help them was this strange youth whom they didn’t even know whether they could trust or not.     

“Let’s just try then.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged.         

“I don’t quite understand why you’re hesitating, but I’m in for anything you decide.” Feng Ao Si was easygoing.     

Nan Luo looked at his older cousin speechlessly. For some reason, he began to feel pity for the soldiers who were under Feng Ao Si. If this man didn’t get proper guidance, he was sure that Feng Ao Si would never be able to win any battle.     

The soldiers would have to be so patient under him.     

It was no wonder that Old Master Nan refused to raise Feng Ao Si’s rank above 2000 men commander. If it was higher, the number of soldiers who were so frustrated under him would naturally increase rapidly.     

“Let’s go.”     

…     

Nan Hua was actually analyzing the drugs from the blood of these youths. There was no advance medical equipment here for her to do her experiment. All that she could do was to make use of what was available for her to be able to know the substance and their uses.     

Because of this, Nan Hua was practically the only one who was using the carriage as they departed.     

And with Nan Luo’s words that Nan was making medicine and required stable location, they all shut up. The carriage was naturally not that stable, but it was better compared to make one when they were walking or riding horse.     

“We’re already walking for several incense sticks of time.” Feng Ao Si groaned. “How much longer are we supposed to walk?”     

“The youth is pointing forward.”     

“We’re already a distance away from Tou City. What other cities are there around here?”     

“There is another city about three incense sticks of time from here.” Nan Luo passed a look at Feng Ao Si. “Did you not memorize the map?”     

“The one I have is the old one.” Feng Ao Si turned his head away.     

“…That’s an old city that was built more than a decade ago. Just how old is your map?” Nan Luo was speechless.     

Feng Ao Si turned silent.     

He knew that it was his fault for not memorizing the map properly, but he really didn’t want to take a look at those strange images. For him, everything that was written or drawn looked exceptionally tiring to look at.     

Even after he grew up, this trait of his hadn’t changed that much.     

“Hmm…?”     

They were entering a valley and Nan Luo could notice the surrounding locations looked unfavorable for them if a fight breaks out. The valley was located a bit lower than the forest around, including the hills a distance away.     

“Send the soldiers to spread out and sweep this area.” Nan Luo waved his hand.     

“Yes.” Qiu Xian, the other adjutant of Nan Luo aside from Xiao Yan, quickly led the soldiers to spread so that they would cover more area. He was rarely given order aside to follow Xiao Yan, so he was feeling quite excited.
