Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Yu Jin?

Nan Hua thought of that cheap sworn sister of hers. "She will not truly do something so cruel without reason. I guessed that the people in that village must have been used by the people in Zhang Xu Kingdom for some other reasons."

"Other reasons?" Nan Luo blinked his eyes in confusion.

Nan Hua didn't say anything but she guessed that Prime Minister Lei should be using these people for war soon. Without her ninth senior sister, the number was limited and after enough training, they should be enough for battle.

Besides, there was also still the Lin Family.

If they developed some kind of poison and other kind of medical thing that was beneficial for war, they might need to test it first.

There were some people there who didn't hesitate to use the civilians for it.

And it was something that Nan Hua knew because she had visited Zhang Xu Kingdom, but she couldn't stay for long due to the fact that she had caused a lot of troubles for them.

If there was a chance, she could sneak inside again.

"The war in General Wei's side should be quite difficult." Nan Hua didn't say anything else. This small group of 'elite' soldiers under Prime Minister Lei should be for used among his personal army.

She had already told Long Qian Xing about the pouch and this method was also spread to some others. General Wei was among them, so he should be able to deal with these people well.

"Huh?"

"Zhang Xu Kingdom had some experiments and the people in those villages might be included considering that they're quite close to Lin Family." Nan Hua thought to herself that she should pay a visit to Lin Family soon after Yu Jin cleaned up the area enough for her to travel.

Before that, she had other things she wanted to do.

Nan Luo was stupefied. "If they do that, would the villagers be able to live well?"

"Presumably no."

"Why don't you explain to the others?" Nan Luo frowned. If General Yu was being misunderstood, wouldn't it be bad for them?

"She doesn't need it." Nan Hua knew Yu Jin's personality quite well. Yu Jin never cared about her reputation and even felt that being known as cruel and ruthless would benefit her more. It was also because of this that Yu Jin never tried to correct the preconception that the mountain tribe was a group of ruthless soldiers.

In this incident as well, Nan Hua guessed that Yu Jin was not worried in the slightest bit. Because of that, she didn't want to meddle in this matter.

"I see…" Nan Luo sighed.

He didn't quite understand why someone wanted to smear their own name and had other people feared them. But since that was the case, he would also say nothing. It was good enough that he knew about it.

"Rest for now. Tomorrow will be a big battle."

"Got it. You too, Hua'er."

"Mhm."

…

<Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si's side>

After being separated from each other, Feng Ao Si tried his best to ignore the thoughts that rang in his mind. He felt a bit restless but he himself didn't know the reason for it.

Shouldn't it be enough for him not to want to do anything to the innocent people under him?

Right?

In the end, Feng Ao Si's footsteps brought him to Feng Ao Kuai's tent.

There was a bitter smile on Feng Ao Si's lips. He felt that he was being dependent on his younger brother from time to time. Whenever there was any trouble, the first thing he thought was to find his younger brother to help him solve it.

When they were young, he has always been very restless and made a lot of troubles for his father and mother. His mother would often punish him, so whenever he made trouble, Feng Ao Si would come to his younger brother to discuss the countermeasure of how to avoid his mother's punishment.

Feng Ao Kuai gave a lot of ideas and also sometimes got dragged to it.

The end result was that the two of them being punished by their mother and Feng Ao Si wailed.

Perhaps, this was one of the few beginnings of how Feng Ao Kuai ended up to be much smarter than him.

"Second Young Commander Feng, First Young Commander Feng is here."

"Older brother is here?" Feng Ao Kuai looked at the entrance and sighed in his heart. He should have guessed that his older brother was not as calm as he showed on the surface.

He nodded and walked out of the tent, looking at his older brother who stood there.

The two of them looked very different. Feng Ao Si had a large and tall body, nearly comparable to their grandfather after his growth spurt and also the long training on the battlefield. However, he had a relatively simple personality that would make it difficult for him to actually advance here.

But if he was placed in the Capital City…

Feng Ao Kuai was sure that Feng Ao Si would be eaten until there was no bones left.

"Do you want to talk?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.

"Yes. Can I come in?"

"Sure."

The two of them entered the tent and sat down on the ground. Feng Ao Kuai's tent was relatively simple but there was only one chair there, so he directly sat on the ground. Anyway, it was not their first time.

"Are you concerned about the cruelty of war."

"That's not it." Feng Ao Si shook his head. "I'm just wondering whether what we're doing is right or not."

"As in?"

"I mean, we only attack the soldiers and ignored the civilians." Feng Ao Si pursed his lips. "But other commanders seem to see them as their possession and… uhm…"

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother calmly. "Do you want to be the same as them?"

"No."
