Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Good then."

The number of doctors who were in the border with them were not many. It was only enough for them to treat most of the soldiers slowly when they were wounded. But even then, some people who were injured too badly could only end up dying.

"Are they replicating Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Shangguan Xian suddenly asked.

Shangguan Xiao arched. "Even if they want to replicate Zhang Xu Kingdom, they didn't have the necessary foundation to truly build an army consisted of loyal people or poison that's efficient enough to be used in a large crowd."

Thinking about the Lin Family, Shangguan Xiao had a headache. He didn't want to think about it anymore right now because it would only make him thought about that battle many years ago.

The poison that killed his own father.

However, that poison mist was a secret family technique within Lin Family. They would never want to leak it outside no matter what. Because if it were to be used on them, they would never survive.

Thus, everyone in the Lin Family guarded the secret tightly.

If Shi Long Kingdom also wanted to use poison, it was not impossible. However, their application would be different because they definitely couldn't replicate Lin Family methods.

"How did they poison us anyway?" General Feng was more concerned about this. If they found out the method, they could try to block it one way or another.

"I don't know." Shangguan Xiao rubbed his forehead. Medicines were definitely not his forte. "Did the soldiers who got sick come to certain location or something? If we found out about that, we might be able to get some clues."

"No, it's quite random. Some of them are part of the vanguard and some others are from the patrol."

General Feng sighed.

If only he could know how the poison entered the camp, he would have long settled the matter as quickly as possible. But there was no such thing. He had asked his men to investigate, but the cases seemed random.

"There had to be some patterns." Shangguan Xiao sighed. "For the time being, let's be more careful. We can't fall here."

"I know." General Feng nodded.

They talked a bit more before General Feng left with Shangguan Xian. Even though they didn't know what kind of methods those people in Shi Long Kingdom used, they had to do their best to figure it out.

Shangguan Xiao sighed after his older brother and General Feng had left. He really didn't want to, but Shi Long Kingdom seemed to be copying Zhang Xu Kingdom's tactic. And in this case, the best person who could deal with this kind of method was Great General Wei who had spent half of his lifetime fighting against them.

After thinking for a while, Shangguan Xiao decided to just write a letter.

…

The next day, another battle broke out.

Both Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom fought bitterly on each side, no one wanted to lose. While not understanding the reason why some of the soldiers fell sick in this war, they still had to continue the battle while investigation.

This just caused more hassle for them.

Tep.

Nan Hua arrived and stopped the horse she was riding. This time, she was using a convenient transportation with Hui Ling and Chu Yue following behind her with horse. Hui Ling's horse riding skill was still as bad as ever. It was a miracle that he didn't fall with such poor posture.

However, Nan Hua paid no heed to the young man and let him struggle by himself. Even if he fell, he would not die since he has such thick skin.

"Young Miss, we've arrived."

"Send message to General Feng that a doctor from the Capital City is here as reinforcement."

"Yes!" Chu Yue cupped her fist and moved her horse.

This time, Nan Hua had no intention to participate in the war directly. Since that was the case, she will become the doctor who helped to cure the soldiers while solving the few moles who had entered and spread the poison from Kuang Shen.

A tactic like this was indeed very good.

But Shi Long Kingdom's foundation was very different from Zhang Xu Kingdom. They had no ability to do something like this so easily without revealing their tails. Besides, the difference in skill still existed.

Anyway, Nan Hua was not that worried that Prime Minister Lei would use poison in the battle because Great General Wei knew how to handle him. While it might be a hassle, he would not be defeated.

"Miss, are you going to help the army?" Hui Ling asked. He had seen these wars going on from time to time when he was following Leader Ji. If he had to say, he didn't care about them in the slightest bit.

For him, it was useless to side with either side.

There will be a lot of casualties.

He didn't want to be among them. So he felt that it would be better to just be a free martial artist, roaming around without inhibition. But of course, that would be after he had repaid his debt to Dark Moon Organization.

"You will be my assistant this time. There will be some herbs delivered in a few days' time. It should be enough to help with the problems this time." Nan Hua didn't even bother looking at Hui Ling while she was analyzing the formation below.

She had to admit that Shangguan Xiao was worthy of being one of the hardest people to handle among the younger generation.

With these kind of tactic, he was making full use of their advantage while covering the fact that their number was not as many as the other party. Changing tactics in the middle and adapting so fast, the two generals cooperate tacitly and covered each other's back.

It seemed that this border was doing well under their leadership.

Drap! Drap!

Seeing Chu Yue is back, Nan Hua moved her horse to head towards Fei Yang Kingdom's headquarters.
