Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Some leaders would willingly lay their lives to be with their soldiers, fighting until the very end. Some soldiers would willingly lay their lives so that their leader would be the one to survive and take revenge for them.

Soldiers stepped forward because they wanted to protect their kingdom.

But some of them were afraid to die and become deserters in the middle.

Some leaders didn't dare to bet with their lives and when the situation was dire, they will sacrifice their soldiers for their own lives. Some soldiers could do the same and sacrifice their own comrades so that they would be alive.

People were different.

And there were many types of people in the world.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

As they got closer, Nan Hua could see the people in front of her. The most eye catching one was naturally the middle aged man who was wearing the attire similar to a commander.

'No, a commander will not be wearing this lightly, so perhaps an adjutant or a strategist?'

Either way, Nan Hua simply stepped forward. In order to catch them off guard, she jumped off her horse and landed on the eye catching middle aged man's horse before kill him swiftly with a slash.

"Strategist Kui, get away!" one of the soldiers noticed the incoming horse and saw a shadow passed by.

Slash!

Strategist Kui didn't even had the time to react when he felt pain in his neck. The world turned black as he fell off his horse along with Nan Hua, who evaded the attack from the guard behind the strategist.

These people were all elites.

Strategist Kui's son, Young Commander Kui, was alarmed. He wanted to turn around, but the guard who controlled the horse stopped his movement. "We have to go! Deal with that person!"

Thump!

Rolling on the ground after landing, Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the people who ran away. She managed to catch them off guard, but chasing after these people while they were running on a horse was not easy.

Well, she could try.

"Die!"

One of the guards turned his horse and rushed towards Nan Hua. However, Nan Hua swiftly evaded and then stabbed the man's stomach from her position accurately.

The man didn't even have a chance to do anything before he fell to the ground.

Swish!

Running towards the group of people, Nan Hua took out several needles and threw it in their direction.

Swish! Jleb! Jleb!

*neigh*

The horses that was stabbed raised its leg and fell to the ground. Nan Hua reached the first soldier's location and swiftly kill him. The other soldiers also stood up and blocked Nan Hua, so she swiftly used her sword and killed them within moments.

They were not her match.

But their way of blocking her road effectively bought time for the other people to run with the horse. By the time Nan Hua was done, they were already a distance away.

She looked at the others and frowned.

They were too far now.

Clang!

Nan Luo had already chased them, but another one of the guards blocked his attack. Even though Nan Luo eventually killed the guard, the other people in the group had already ran far away.

It would be impossible to chase after them by now.

*pant* *pant* *pant*

"The next time you want to go, remember to wait for me." Nan Luo felt like dying. He was so tired after pushing himself so long and still had to chase after Nan Hua when she was chasing after them.

"I will." Nan Hua walked towards Nan Luo and raised her hand, putting it on his forehead and lightly massaged him. She had learned basic massage, so she knew how to soothe his tiredness.

Nan Luo stood still stiffly, watching his twin sister giving him a massage.

After a few seconds, he took a deep breath. "So, who are they?"

"Strategist Kui and probably his disciple." Nan Hua didn't know who ran away just now. But considering that person's age and the way the guards were protecting him with their lives, she could guess that he must be someone important.

"Strategist Kui?" Nan Luo was unfamiliar with this name.

It was not that strange considering that Strategist Kui basically never dealt with Fei Yang Kingdom before. He always stayed in this Three Point Cities and fought against Zhang Xu Kingdom from time to time.

Even when he won, the news was usually contained in this area.

Thus, other than Zhang Xu Kingdom's people who knew about him, other kingdoms didn't pay much attention to this small strategist.

"Is he River General Kui's son?" Nan Luo asked. River General Kui was very famous and had participated in the joint war against Fei Yang Kingdom back then. If he was not wrong, Nan Hua injured River General Kui, forcing him to retreat.

"Yes."

Nan Luo was speechless.

He silently wondered whether River General Kui will vomit blood if he knew that his son was killed by the same person who injured him back then. It seemed that he had such ill fate with Nan Hua.

Right now, River General Kui was already being pushed back by General Long during the battle with Wei Da Kingdom. Now, his son was killed while his grandson was running away from the Three Point Cities.

How miserable.

"I thought that you'll be able to deal with them quickly."

"These soldiers willingly sacrifice themselves to buy time for their leader. We should hurry to the middle point and regroup with General Chi and Young Commander Long." Nan Hua motioned for Nan Luo to ride his horse again.

"Alright, alright." Nan Luo had no intention to refute Nan Hua. Though, he was skeptical that he will be able to be of use when he come to the middle point considering that the main lead was already running away.

Without Strategist Kui, would it be possible for the soldiers to survive the fierce attacks from General Chi and Young Commander Long?
