Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



<Zhang Xu Kingdom's side, Fang Sheng Lin's location>

"Huh? That Mao something is also getting started this time?" Fang Sheng Lin arched his eyebrows when he saw that Commander Mao finally wore his armor and the robe on his back properly.

Previously, he had seen Commander Mao was trying to hide his existence when he came. It seemed that he was going to be used for some kind of secret matter of Prime Minister Lei, which he didn't care.

He only wanted to fight, eat, sleep, and repeat them.

As long as he had a worthy opponent to fight him, he would be satisfied.

"Yes, Commander Fang."

"Tsk, tsk, when will you fight me again, Mao something?" Fang Sheng Lin asked in his usual easy going tone. He didn't seem to have much respect for others and only wanted to offend as many people as possible.

As expected, Commander Mao's face darkened when he heard Fang Sheng Lin's tone. When Fang Sheng Lin first joined their small camp, Commander Mao had fought against Fang Sheng Lin and the result was utter defeat.

Fang Sheng Lin was not fazed with his multiple attacks in the slightest bit.

It was as if he could read where he would shoot and avoided or blocked it effectively before finally reaching Commander Mao's side.

Ever since that battle, Commander Mao trained hard from morning to night. He swore to shoot this b*stard Fang Sheng Lin to death!

"I didn't come to have a fight with you this time," Commander Mao said to Fang Sheng Lin coldly.

"Tsk, you're still not fun." Fang Sheng Lin clicked his tongue.

Commander Mao directly ignored Fang Sheng Lin and walked away. Out of sight, out of mind. When he could finally finish the task and had the time to fight Fang Sheng Lin again, he would shoot this annoying person.

He could never understand why Prime Minister Lei even wanted Fang Sheng Lin in their group anyway.

This annoying person was still as unpleasant as always.

"He's always putting on a cold face." Fang Sheng Lin shrugged and swaggered to Prime Minister Lei's tent. "Prime Minister Lei, what's my task for tomorrow."

Prime Minister Lei looked at Fang Sheng Lin and took a deep breath. Sometimes, he felt as if he was taking care of a bunch of rowdy boys when he talked about these few people around him. But their capabilities were all top notch despite their quirks, so he had been quite patient.

"You're fighting Great General Wei again."

"Ah, again? Okay." Fang Sheng Lin and Great General Wei were more or less evenly matched, so Fang Sheng Lin didn't care that much. In any case, he felt that it was good for him to be able to fight against a worthy opponent like General Wei.

Prime Minister Lei watched Fang Sheng Lin walked away and looked at the map in front of him.

"When will Strategist Mang come back."

"Replying to Prime Minister Lei, Strategist Mang is scheduled to return either tomorrow or two days later."

"Two days later." Prime Minister Lei nodded.

They should be able to wait that long. That old fogey General Wei shouldn't be able to crack down his schemes so quickly.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's side, Nan Luo's location at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! How many times do I have to ask you to treat my wound gentler?" Nan Luo asked in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yan looked at Nan Luo and continued to apply the medicine without paying much attention. "Young Master, you have suffered several serious injuries and it's estimated that you won't be able to fight tomorrow."

"Ah? The serious one is just one, right?" Nan Luo couldn't move his left shoulder too much right now. The arrow had seriously hurt his flesh and moving it around even a bit hurts a lot.

A martial artist didn't only use one part of their body but their entire muscles in their entire body so that they could show out a large amount of power. At this time, Nan Luo wouldn't be able to fight properly and should be moved to the reserve soldiers.

Fei Yang Kingdom was not lacking in soldiers.

"It's better to have more rest so that you can recover earlier, Young Master," Xiao Yan replied calmly.

"Damn it. I thought that I'll be able to fight again tomorrow." Nan Luo looked at his wound and sighed. Thinking of his performance not long ago, he also felt somewhat ashamed right now. He felt that he should do better in holding General Cong back.

They didn't gain much in the end.

Feng Ao Kuai walked to Nan Luo at this time. He looked at Nan Luo's injury. "You should rest tomorrow."

"Even you say the same thing?"

"There's not much you can do to help in your current condition." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. "And the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom is estimated to be a long battle."

Nan Luo had seen the situation.

It was still Summer approaching Autumn but they still couldn't even move from this darned location for months. Trying to break through and made their way deeper into Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory was not easy.

Not to mention, the citizen of Zhang Xu Kingdoms mostly hated Fei Yang Kingdom. They wouldn't be able to persuade the people from that side so quickly.

Thus, it was not a strange thing that the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom would definitely last for a long period of time.

"Be patient. There will be time when you can show your abilities more," Feng Ao Kuai said calmly.

"I know." Nan Luo glanced at Feng Ao Kuai and then lowered his head, looking at his hands.

In fact, Feng Ao Kuai was the one who should have been impatient. He had been reduced to the background for many months and couldn't gain a lot of achievements on the battlefield.

Without any achievement, it would be harder for them to get the next promotion.

That was why this large war with Zhang Xu Kingdom was their chance.
