Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

A short life is ending.

And no one paid attention in the slightest bit. No one remembered her, as if she was nothing more than an insignificant figure.

Perhaps, there were some people who did remember her.

But in the end, they didn't even know when she finally passed away.

…

<Long distance away, Shangguan Yu's side>

Shangguan Yu requested from Emperor Yang Zhou to travel and 'see' the condition of the kingdom. He didn't exactly report a specific part, but at this time, he was slowly approaching Fei Yang Kingdom's border with Shi Long Kingdom.

The news of General Feng's defeat naturally came.

Based on his estimation, Heavenly General Bao would be moved to fight against his cousin soon.

He wouldn't be so easy to deal with. After coming out to travel, Shangguan Yu was still using the same wheelchair as he used to be. After all, the number of people who know that he didn't really need the wheelchair was still very limited.

"Master." The servant who pushed Shangguan Yu sensed that someone was coming.

Shangguan Yu raised his head and looked at the group of people in front of him. The corner of his lips curled up slightly. "Is it time?"

"Yes." The man looked at Shangguan Yu carefully. Their master had already warned them that Shangguan Yu is a very dangerous man even if he looked harmless on his wheelchair. They were not allowed to underestimate him in the slightest bit.

"What do you want this time?" Shangguan Yu asked, his tone was low.

"Information."

Information again?

They kept on asking for various information about Fei Yang Kingdom. Shangguan Yu knew that now that the war is ongoing, every pieces of information can become extremely important.

It was up to them how to utilize this so called advantage of theirs.

"About?"

"Shangguan Family."

Silence.

Shangguan Yu looked at the few people in front of him, his eyes narrowed. He had purposely left Shangguan Mi, no Mang Mi, in the Capital City because he could guess that she would want to escape. The moment she tried to escape would be the moment of her death.

Without dirtying his own hands, she would die miserably, so Shangguan Yu didn't have much interest to watch over her anymore.

He had more important things to do.

But it seemed that Kuang Shen and these people had already obtained a lot of people from Fei Yang Kingdom and the necessary information.

He was just one of them.

An unimportant piece.

"I'm listening," Shangguan Yu replied, his tone was calm. …

<Long distance away, Liang City at the north area of Fei Yang Kingdom.>

With the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom raging on, the other areas were somewhat forgotten to a certain degree. But the few people who were assigned to those areas would have no other choice but to focus on their work.

Because they knew that these places were the result of the hard work of Fei Yang Kingdom for a long time and not something that came from the sky.

The one in command of Liang City was a group of ministers at the same rank. Each and every single one of them were striving to work hard to make sure that they could make a name of themselves in the midst of this war. Even if it was not much of a splash, they had to make Emperor Yang Zhou noticed them. "The new batch of ministers have arrived and there are a few who have the same rank as us, Minister Tan," an official said in the court.

The palace had been turned to their minister's meeting hall. There was no governor selected yet because of some reasons. And so, the one who held the power so far were Minister Tan and Minister Xiao, an official who was picked some time ago by Fei Yang Kingdom to balance the policies here.

Minister Tan had a lot of supporters from the nobles who had known him for a long time. Thus, his position was relatively high.

However, Minister Xiao had a lot of connections and the new people from Fei Yang Kingdom who settled down here were mostly his.

Thus, his power was also considerable.

Not to mention, there were also those who were relatively neutral and refused to fight for more power and focus on rebuilding the Liang City such as the Han Family. They have several people who were officials and currently worked here too.

"Another one?" Minister Tan raised his head and then shook his head. "No matter how many people they sent, nothing will change."

"Are you saying that you won't listen at all?" Minister Xiao asked, his eyes glinted.

"Don't put words into my mouth." Minister Tan showed a smile. "I only feel that they might lack in experience and need more help from the seniors."

Need more help?

Minister Xiao shook his head.

He came from the branch family of Xiao Family, so he was used to see various political struggles. At this time, his family was related to Emperor Yang Zhou, which was one of the reasons why he was able to gain power relatively quickly.

When he came here, he was taking the fact that he was from Fei Yang Kingdom and his distant cousin was the Empress.

But it didn't mean that he was the most powerful in Liang City.

The water is deep here. And it wouldn't be easy to survive if he were to say anything wrong. Even now, he had to be careful in every steps he treaded. The position here between him and Minister Tan was mostly canceling each other. It was not easy to threaten Minister Tan's position because he has been in Liang City for a long time and wiling to switch his allegiance to Fei Yang Kingdom.

With his contribution, while he was no longer the Prime Minister, but his power was not taken by much. Thus, he was able to have a relatively high position here.
