Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Fire!"

"Put it down, quickly!"

*cough* *cough* *cough*

The people from Lin Family were all busy trying to put out the fire. But as the smoke was rising high into the sky, it was clear for outsiders that there was another problem in Lin Family once more.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

The sound of horses galloping could be heard as the earth also began to tremble in accordance.

The people from Lin Family paused.

They looked into the distance and from the mist, soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom rushed inside. Led by Long Qian Xing at the forefront, he pointed his swords towards the inner section.

"Kill the elders!"

"YES!"

"Those who resist will die! Throw your weapon if you want to stay alive!"

Thunk! Thud!

Many people from Lin Family didn't hesitate to throw their weapon away. Most of them were from the younger generation, which meant that the people in Lin Family didn't manage to fully integrate these young people to be fully loyal. They were all mostly afraid of their lives and didn't want to waste their strength for Lin Family after suffering here for so many years.

For many people there, Lin Family was not an exactly a good place. There were many of them who tried to run away for years but failed. And those who were caught again would be in dire situation where they would wish they were dead instead of alive.

"Pick up your weapon!" the elders roared and took out bunch of poison bags from his pockets.

Swish! Slash! Stab!

A knife cut open the bag on the elder's hand, spreading the poison on the spot. There was no time for him to even think of retaliating when an arrow accurately pierced through his chest.

"Charge forward!" Long Qian Xing yelled.

"Yes!"

Clang! Slash! Slash!

Nan Hua was following Long Qian Xing calmly with several knives on her hand. She didn't want to use needles for the time being, so she had been carrying several knives to be used as replacement of knives.

In any case, her skill in throwing weapons were pretty good.

When she woke up this morning, she found out that Long Qian Xing had already ordered his soldiers to depart once more. Without asking anything, she followed suit and noticed that Long Qian Xing was already planning on destroying Lin Family from the very beginning.

How ambitious.

But that was just like how Long Qian Xing is.

And he was making use of the chaos and the fact that the people in Lin Family were afraid. Many of them didn't want to get out, thus reducing the chance for the people he planted to be found out and could roam freer than normal times.

This was truly the best chance for him to step forward.

Very cunning.

"Princess Jun, the inner section is this way. Lin Sun should be that way too." Long Qian Xing sneered. For a man who nearly poisoned many of his soldiers, he wanted to hack that Lin Sun to death first.

"He wouldn't dare to come out." Nan Hua looked at the wall in front of her calmly. He was so cowardly that he didn't dare to get out to deliver the medicine and now that Lin Family was in such situation, would they even step forward?

It was estimated that Lin Sun would hide even deeper.

"In that case I just have to drag him out." Long Qian Xing waved his hand and his soldiers began to move several herbs and burned them together while fanning in the inner area direction.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Sensing the herbs, she came to realization that this smoke would render the poison in the inner section to be ineffective and no longer poisonous. But the problem was that the inner area spanned quite a large area, which was definitely not cheap.

Many of these herbs were quite rare.

Looking at the soldiers who were burning these herbs, it really looked like they were burning money instead.

She couldn't count how many taels of gold Long Qian Xing wasted just to win this war this time.

"Is it worth it?" Nan Hua asked.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and followed Nan Hua's gaze. "Why not? If I can drag him out before he made more poison, it's better to throw some money. Anyway, it comes from the military fund."

Nan Hua: "…"

She silently lit a candle to Emperor Yang Zhou for having such a friend.

"And Lin Sun didn't only know that one type of poison. As long as he exists in Lin Family, he will make more dangerous poison that can be used in the battlefield. Eliminating him early meant that I'm cutting off one of their source of poison."

"The herbs are not enough to cover the area." Nan Hua had already entered and knew that it was definitely not enough.

"Is it?" Long Qian Xing frowned. He felt that it should be enough.

Nan Hua was silent for a moment.

Her mind drifted to the novel she read where Long Qian Xing also eliminated Lin Sun through a somewhat different method. But in the end, he still had to come to Lin Family Mountain because Lin Sun truly lived like a monk here and never came out from the inner area in the slightest bit.

But at that time, Luo Qing Wei will be by Long Qian Xing's side, helping him to detoxify the poison quickly and even made the perfect antidote.

That way, Long Qian Xing didn't need to waste a lot of money.

'Changing the future come with cost.'

It was something that Nan Hua understood and when Long Qian Xing chose her, he should have known the benefits he lost.

But this is the path they had chosen.

And she didn't want to regret it nor making him regret it.

Nan Hua patted the horse in front of her and looked at Long Qian Xing. "I'll drag him out. You just need to wait here."

"Wait, you have just recovere…."
