Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Okay, I'm going to go back with my husband! Thank you for your help, Traveling Doctor Liu, Doctor Yu, and Hua'er!"

Yu Jin waved her hand and dragged Shan Yu away.

Nan Hua watched their back for a while and then turned to look at Traveling Doctor Liu. It was no wonder that Traveling Doctor Liu kept on saying that Shan Yu was already married. The way these two interacted with each other truly gave that false impression.

Though for them to formally be married, the preparation wouldn't be small.

"Is it time for you to go, Hua'er?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked with a faint smile.

Nan Hua nodded. "I'm only here to confirm your situation, Master and see Jin Jie to see whether she would be deployed in the same area or not."

If both of them were to be deployed at the north, it meant that they would be able to work together. Since Yu Jin would be sent to the south, it meant that they wouldn't be able to work together.

"Okay. Take care of yourself. When you have time, pay a visit to your Eldest Senior Brother's clinic. I should be there by that time. Or you can just send us invitation for your marriage. I should be able to make the trip unless you planned to get married more than two decades later."

Nan Hua looked at his Master helplessly. Two decades was simply too long.

Not only Traveling Doctor Liu, she was sure that Long Qian Xing and her own grandfather would cooperate together to tie her back home if she decided to get married at that time.

"I can't say that Long Qian Xing is very good." Traveling Doctor Liu could still remember the time when he paid a visit to see Old Madam Long back then. Long Qian Xing was quite a peculiar child and also someone who was not easy to look through.

"But since you've chosen him, I'll support you."

"Thank you, Master." Nan Hua showed a faint smile. 

Traveling Doctor Liu smiled back and waved his hand. "Go. You're a general now."

Nan Hua cupped her fist and turned around. 

After this deployment, Nan Hua didn't know when she would have free time again. Not to mention, she didn't know whether she would be staying at the north or she would be deployed to the south against Shi Long Kingdom.

That would depend on how things develop in the future.

As Nan Hua left, Yu Zheng Xi cleaned the table silently.

"If you also want to leave, you can, Xiao Xi."

Yu Zheng Xi paused and then shook his head. "There's no need, Master. It's good enough for me to follow you."

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his fifth disciple and said nothing else.

…

<Not long distance away, Lin Family Area>

Lin Family was still staying at the north, near the border with Fan Yi Kingdom. They had been hit badly during the time Long Qian Xing was here.

At this time, there were a few people who were nearby and tried their best to assess the current situation. Some of Lin Family members wanted to run away but they were killed before they could do it.

The poison barrier that they made before was already useless by this point.

They were only struggling for the inevitable end.

"Great General Wei is here." 

The people from Lin Family looked at the incoming general and felt nervous. They didn't know how this general would treat them and based on what they knew so far, Lin Family's reputation was not good among Fei Yang Kingdom's people.

No matter what, Lin Family was still one of the medical family from Zhang Xu Kingdom. Their heritage and history was more than enough to made others wanted to stay far away from them.

During the war, there were many medicine and poisons produced.

Their Lin Family was naturally included among those who had provided poisons, which gave them bad reputation. 

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Cavalry soldiers came and Great General Wei led the soldiers towards Lin Family. He purposely didn't come here from the very beginning when they dealt with Zhang Xu Kingdom because he knew Lin Family's territory was surrounded by that poisonous mist.

If they didn't want to die, they better not come here.

Waiting and stalling for time until there was none of those anymore.

The herbs were not unlimited. The Lin Family might want to make that barrier forever, but it would eventually end if they kept their wasteful use to block anyone who wanted to get inside. 

"From now on, Lin Family will be disbanded. Everyone will follow the soldiers to arrange

 for your living condition in the future." Great General Wei looked at the people from Lin Family in front of him with an indifferent expression.

From the very beginning, he knew that the Lin Family participated in the war.

And it was impossible for them to get away from this matter.

"There will be people to arrange…." Great General Wei arranged for them in orderly manner and also to check their identity and what they had done. For those who couldn't be reused, he would simply kill them.

He didn't have the time to care about each and every single one of them.

Lastly, he looked at Lin Xia, who stood at the side calmly. Her expression was calm as if everything that happened here didn't have any connection with her whatsoever. Perhaps, for Lin Xia, Lin Family had never been her home.

"Lin Xia."

Hearing her name called, Lin Xia raised her head and looked at Great General Wei with a calm expression. "Yes, Great General Wei?"

Her voice was calm and unhurried.

Great General Wei looked at this woman for a moment and said, "You'll be brought to another city and stay there where you continue your research with food and lodging provided. However, you won't be allowed to contact anyone from Lin Family aside from your sister and her family."
