Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Can't you be lighter?!" Feng Ao Si was being treated by Dai and as usual, Dai never treated him gently.

Dai looked at Feng Ao Si with a poker face. "Young Master, it's already light enough."

"It still hurts a lot!" Feng Ao Si didn't know whether to scold Dai or beat up Dai after he had healed to make this adjutant of his treated him gentler.

Dai only continued to treat Feng Ao Si expressionlessly.

"Why did you not help me back then? What if he wanted to kill me?"

"Then I'll report to Old Master Nan that Young Master had died."

Feng Ao Si: "…"

You cold hearted adjutant!

Feng Ao Si wanted to scold Dai so badly, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and endured.

Dai shook his head after he was done with treating Feng Ao Si. He had already sent a letter to Old Master Nan about Feng Ao Si's recent activity and also Chi Dong Wei's plan to let Feng Ao Si met with Old General Han. 

Since Old Master Nan didn't do anything to interfere and in the letters, he only said to let Feng Ao Si be, Dai knew that Old General Han will not harm Feng Ao Si.

In that case, why should he be worried?

So Dai just stood still at the side when Feng Ao Si was fighting. 

"Starting tomorrow, I'll work harder!" Feng Ao Si gritted his teeth and full of fighting spirit.

As a result, the next day, he was being taught tactic again, which made Feng Ao Si nearly collapsed.

He thought that he would be fighting against Old General Han again!

Old General Han saw Feng Ao Si's face changing rapidly and felt amused by this young man. "You need to wait until our injuries are healed before fighting again. Besides, you need to go to your war appointment soon, right?"

"Ah... right." Feng Ao Si nearly forgot that. his army was already waiting with him. 

Chi Dong Wei thought for a moment and then said, "We're going with you."

"Huh?"

"Your class will still continue when you fight."

Feng Ao Si: "…" are you the devil?

For the first time, he felt that there was someone more terrifying that his grandfather who would even force him to study when he had to fight in the war.

<Long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom's border with Fan Yi Kingdom>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of battles rang on the battlefield. General Kai was literally the only general from Fei Yang Kingdom who stayed at this border. It was not like Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want to arrange more people, but it was more like he couldn't.

There were only limited number of generals in Fei Yang Kingdom and with the expansion of Fei Yang Kingdom's territory due to their conquest, the area that these generals had to cover increased exponentially.

One general had to pay attention many cities all at once.

Even with the increase of commanders and the subjugated generals who chose to switch side, there were only some of them who could be used. 

The administration work was very overwhelming.

In this scorching summer, they had no other choice but to work overtime in order to make sure that Fei Yang Kingdom was in order. Being at high position doesn't only represent power but also responsibility. 

Because a lot of people's lives depended on their decision.

"General Kai, they're approaching from the other side!" one soldier yelled to inform General Kai.

Fighting at the front, General Kai looked at the situation with grim expression. He had been staying at the border for a long period of time and the situation has been very peaceful.

So peaceful that this attack caught him off guard.

Fan Yi Kingdom just finished the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom, why in the world did they go towards him instead?

He wanted to curse.

But in the end, he said nothing and simply arranged for the soldiers to fight.

"They're planning to trap us?" General Kai furrowed his eyebrows. There was trace of anger within his eyes. "Retreat!"

"Yes, General Kai!"

The soldiers began to retreat in order systematically. The situation was not very good and with their soldiers' number was lacking, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to last long.

Rather than forcing to stay here, General Kai chose to retreat.

Compared to many other generals, General Kai was relatively conservative and prefer to keep as many people's lives as possible. Naturally among them had to be himself because he didn't have any plan to die on the frontline.

Even if it might look shameful, but what he wanted the most was to survive. 

Drap! Drap! Drap!

The soldiers retreated, but the opponents still charged forward.

The situation was very chaotic.

…

<Fan Yi Kingdom's side>

Standing on the back, a young man in his twenties was looking towards the situation in front of him calmly. He was not at the most conspicuous position, but he could see through the entire battlefield from where he was standing.

Some soldiers were standing not far from him, protecting his position.

Among other soldiers, he was the only one who didn't look like a soldier.

Why?

Because he had no arms. The sleeves beside him flew freely following the wind as both of his arms were not there.

"Strategist Song, General Huang asked whether it's possible to eliminate General Kai." A soldier came forward and cupped his fist.

"General Kai?" the young man who had no arms raised his head. His phoenix eyes were looking straight at the messy battlefield in front of him where the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom were retreating.

Strategist Song curled up his lips and chuckled. "There's no need to worry about him. What I'm waiting for is General Xing."

General Xing?

The others looked at each other. Not understanding why, the topic suddenly changed from this matter to another general from Fei Yang Kingdom.

However, Strategist Song didn't answer and simply replied, "Everything will be fine. Fei Yang Kingdom is going to go down from today."

"Yes, Strategist Song!"
