Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"General Cong is a new general, will he be able to handle it?" A man not far from Prime Minister Lei asked with arched eyebrows.

Prime Minister Lei glanced at the man and narrowed his eyes. "If you're so worried about him, why did you suggest promoting him to be a general, Strategist Mang?"

Strategist Mang smiled faintly. He's a middle aged man around the age of 40s and carried a long scroll with him. It was his precious note that he never wanted to leave behind in the slightest bit.

Previously, Strategist Mang was staying hidden in Zhang Xu Kingdom, waiting for the day for him to make his move. Now that Emperor Zhang Hou Tian had official taken the throne, it was time for him to also make his appearance. There was no point in staying hidden anymore.

Fei Yang Kingdom will attack Zhang Xu Kingdom fiercely.

Why couldn't they also do the same?

And now that Zhang Xu Kingdom was in disadvantageous situation, it was indeed the best time for him to make his appearance and helped the army to win in the war.

"Alright, alright. General Cong is just a small pawn. He can at most hold back General Wei for a short period of time." Strategist Mang spread his arm. He smirked. "Can I start using them?"

"Not yet, I'm going to use these special soldiers first. Without Chen Family, they will be out of control sooner or later." Prime Minister Lei put a pion on top of the location where General Wei's soldiers were located. "He wouldn't be able to handle them."

"You sure is confident." Strategist Mang turned around. "Alright, in that case, I'm going to take a nap first. If you ever need my help, you can just ask your soldiers to wake me up."

Prime Minister Lei snorted and didn't answer.

The soldier who stayed to guard was trying his best to keep a poker face. He always felt that Prime Minister Lei was collecting strange people. The few people around him were all very strange.

From the timid commander from Lin Family, Fang Sheng Ling who couldn't be controlled, and now the arrogant Strategist Mang.

Everyone was very unique.

But they all have the same advantage, which was their abilities that were very useful for war at the battlefield.

…

<North border of Fei Yang Kingdom with Zhang Xu Kingdom, the long mountainous area near the border with Fan Yi Kingdom.>

Yu Jin looked at the mountains in front of her and smirked. She had read the report that this was the 'territory' of a general from Zhang Xu Kingdom. He had defended this area from Wei Da Kingdom's attack for so many years without failing.

But this general was weak when he was pulled out of his territory.

So Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor back then arranged for him to stay in the mountainous area all the time to defend against Wei Da Kingdom. As long as he was still alive, no one would be able to breach his defense.

"Ye Jian, what are you doing over there." Yu Jin turned around and saw Ye Jian was busy with a few bamboo scrolls.

"Of course I'm checking the stocks of our supplies!" Ye Jian rolled her eyes. "You call me here while knowing that I'm not good at battle isn't it just for me to help you with other duties."

"You're smart."

Ye Jian: "…"

She wanted to smash her fist on Yu Jin's face. After staying in the mountain for a long time, she was finally called to the battlefield. At first, she was doubtful because she only knew a few tricks with hidden weapons.

But after coming here, she realized that she was overthinking things.

Yu Jin would be going on a long battle and needed to calculate her supplies. The men from the mountain range was not exactly good at this matter, so she was called up to help.

As for their village's protection?

There was still the woman from Dark Moon Organization who specialized in fragrance pouch who could help them. She was more than enough to protect the village as it was easy for her to deal with some rogues.

Not that there were many people who could sneak up to the mountain without triggering their alarm and traps, though.

"But are you sure that you want to engage in a long term battle like this?" Ye Jian asked with a frown. Given by how ruthless Yu Jin has always been, she would usually fight head on and crushed her opponent without giving any chance for them to recover.

Now, she actually wanted to fight an attrition battle?

"Yes." Yu Jin grinned.

"Why?"

"Don't you think it's good to have this area as my new territory?" Yu Jin's eyes shone with great interest as she looked at the lush mountainous areas in front of her.

Ye Jian: "…"

F*** your territory.

Ye Jian felt that she could never understand what was inside Yu Jin's mind no matter how much time had passed. She had been following Yu Jin for a long period of time, but she couldn't understand how this woman's brain worked.

"Queen Yu, you're now part of Fei Yang Kingdom's army. There's no way they will be willing to give you this area as your new territory." Ye Jian tried her best to explain.

"So what?" Yu Jin snorted. "I can still statin my people here and then come here again in the future. Don't you think this place is located in strategic location too?"

Ye Jian was speechless.

"There might be dispute with…"

"Don't worry so much." Yu Jin waved her hand carelessly. "It's not like I'm going to rob Fei Yang Kingdom from their territory. I just want to be able to roam around this area freely and be the one in charge of this place. They should agree to such a small request, right?"

Ye Jian: "…"

Which one from your requests could be considered as small request?
