Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

*Warning: the scene below is bloody and cruel. It's recommended for the readers to be above 13 years old to continue. Readers' discretion is required. Proceed with your own caution.*

"You…gurgle."

Blood oozed out of the wounds and it seemed that his internal organ was also hit as Young Commander Shang felt pain from deep within his body. He looked at Nan Luo in front of him, but after losing so much blood, he no longer had any strength.

Thud!

Falling off the horse, Young Commander Shang laid on the ground, on top of his own blood pool.

Nan Luo watched the bloody sight in front of him and slowly turned around.

He knew very well that after years of fighting on the frontline and meeting with so many people, his heart had been hardened. Even the scene like this that could make one puke could be dealt calmly.

"Continue!" Nan Luo yelled and led his soldiers while signaling for Xiao Yan to maintain the formation.

"Yes, Young Commander Nan!"

Watching Nan Luo's battle, Xiao Yan sighed deeply.

This young master was no longer someone who only knew how to fight on his own and duel whenever he met with other young commanders. But he also knew how to use the formation and tactics for his own benefit. 

He will only engage when it was the best decision to make.

His young master… had grown up.

Xiao Yan felt proud for serving someone like Nan Luo.

…

<On the other location not far away, Feng Ao Si's battle>

While Xiao Yan felt gratified with Nan Luo's growth, there was someone who felt the opposite.

Dai thought that after Feng Ao Si got married, he would be able to calm his hot temper a bit. But looking at this young master who kept on charging whenever they were on the battlefield, Dai felt that he really wished to knock a stone on Feng Ao Si's head.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

First, if he did that, he would be fired immediately. Raising his hand against his superior was an action that was definitely not acceptable in the military. No matter what era it was, this kind of thing was definitely looked down upon.

So Dai had to keep his patience when he was facing Feng Ao Si. 

Secondly, even if he tried to throw a stone or spar against Feng Ao Si, the result would definitely be his defeat. He was not comparable with Feng Ao Si at all. And his own martial arts were definitely not comparable to Feng Ao Si.

Rather than asking for a beating, he could only file his complaint to Great General Nan, hoping he could beat Feng Ao Si a bit.

Even if it was not himself, he still felt pleased if he could see Feng Ao Si getting beaten up by someone else.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Young Master, we're going in too deep. The goal of our battle this time is to prevent anyone from Zhang Xu Kingdom from breaching the defense line," Dai reminded.

"It's okay. If there's anyone from Zhang Xu Kingdom who wanted to bypass me, I'll kill them all." Feng Ao Si grinned.

Dai looked at this young master in front of him and his eyes narrowed. "Young Master, if you make a mistake, not even Second Young Master can help you."

"I'm not making any mistake!"

"You have to follow the arrangement and formation…"

"Yes, yes, I know."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

That was what Feng Ao Si was saying but whenever he saw a commander from Zhang Xu Kingdom, he would pounce forward. Even if his army was strong, they had been tossed by Feng Ao Si for months during the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom.

By now, nearly half of them were at the back, protecting the rear. Because they were injured, they could only help by maintaining the formation at the back but they couldn't exactly give any help.

Dai looked at his young master, feeling very frustrated.

"Young Master, Young Madam wouldn't want you to be so reckless."

Tep!

The moment his wife was mentioned, Feng Ao Si's movement halted. He still killed the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom around him the next moment, but it was clear that he no longer charged forward after he was done.

Dai sighed deeply.

Perhaps, one of the weakness for these men would be their woman. As long as there was already someone in their heart, the woman could be used to help making sure these men were not so reckless.

If they were so reckless and put themselves in danger, what should they say to their wife back at home?

That their husband had already passed away because he was so stupid?

Feng Ao Si thought of Sheng Qi Rou, his wife who was waiting for him, and his body felt not good all at once. Not long after he got married, he had to go to the frontline and fought hard.

He barely had any time to spare to go home.

If he said that he didn't miss Sheng Qi Rou, that would definitely be a big lie.

But because he also wished to obtain more achievement, he chose to apply to fight in the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom. As a result, he hadn't seen his wife for months.

"I'll go back safely." Feng Ao Si gritted his teeth and then charged forward once again. "And I'll rise faster in the ranks so that I can spend more time at home."

Dai looked at Feng Ao Si like this and felt dumbfounded.

He sighed and face palmed.

He gave up.

This young master would always be the same no matter what he did.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing reverberated on the battlefield. 

It was very loud and clear.

"Huh?" Dai noticed the faint movement from the back and quickly turned around. Seeing the dust on the area where their soldiers and Feng Ao Kuai's soldiers were, his face turned dark.

"Young Master, we have to retreat!"
