Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Thank you." Shangguan Xian nodded thankfully to his younger brother before he walked out of the tent.

Shangguan Xiao also walked out and watched his older brother walked away. He looked at the city wall and also the other soldiers around him. From now on, he will be the one to be responsible in this area.

He will do his best. …

<Long distance away, North West of Fei Yang Kingdom, Feng Ao Kuai's Location>

Due to the far distance, Feng Ao Kuai couldn't receive the news of the war and battle between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom at the right time. Looking at the pile of news, which told the story about how his father lost and how his younger brother was attacked, Feng Ao Kuai's face was black.

He had just been appointed to be an official in this Liang City and took his office but he found out that something more earth shattering had happened on the other side of the kingdom, which meant that the war was currently in the unfavorable situation for Fei Yang Kingdom. This made him annoyed.

After all, he couldn't really do anything to help.

After he handed over his army to his older brother, he was no longer part of the military and couldn't really get involved in their matters anymore. At least, not when he was still at relatively low position like this. The people around him were only the force of Feng Family that his father handed over and also he cultivated over the years.

Influencing such a big war was definitely out of his capability.

"Ao Kuai, are you alright?" Mu Fei Jiu, Feng Ao Kuai's wife, looked at her husband worriedly. After receiving the letter, Feng Ao Kuai shut himself in the study and didn't even come out during lunch time. No matter how busy he was, Feng Ao Kuai would never forget about eating. After all, he had tortured himself enough on the frontline. There was no need to worry about not having enough to eat anymore now that he was living in the cities.

But today, he was so disturbed that he forgot about eating.

"I'm fine." Feng Ao Kuai showed a reassuring smile at Mu Fei Jiu. "I'm just a bit worried about my family who are far away."

Mu Fei Jiu blinked her eyes.

She knew that Feng Ao Kuai's family members were all engaged in military. His father is a general and his older brother was also a commander.

If he was worried about them, it could only mean that something happened on the frontline.

To be honest, when she first found out about her father's plan to have her engaged to Feng Ao Kuai, she had thought about how it would be to worry about her husband all the time. It wouldn't be easy at all.

Now that Feng Ao Kuai had switched his career, Mu Fei Jiu didn't need to worry about losing her husband.

But it was her husband who needed to worry about losing his family members.

"I know this might sound naïve, but if there's nothing that you can do, you can prepare to have them come here in the future. After all, by becoming more powerful, it would also provide more possibilities in the future," Mu Fei Jiu asked carefully.

Opportunity is reserved to those who are prepared.

Those who were not prepared enough would never be able to grasp the opportunity in front of them well and ended up passing it by. It would definitely feel uncomfortable, but those who were not capable enough would never be able to get the opportunity either.

Chance is not easy to take.

"I know." Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He put away the animal skin map in front of him. For the past few incense stick of time, he has been making the proper plan for his future in this Liang City. Now that he had become an official, he could no longer help his father the way he used to be.

But he didn't want to be a useless person either.

So what he could do was to rise in ranks as much as possible and truly turn this city into another Feng City.

Far away from the war and developed the city properly.

This is his plan.

"Have you finished?" Mu Fei Jiu asked carefully. She also tactfully looked away and didn't try to look at the plan that Feng Ao Kuai made. If it involved a lot of things, she could be targeted because of knowing things she shouldn't know.

She wanted to live a good life and didn't bother with things that Feng Ao Kuai had to face.

If he needed help, she could offer him some advices. But there were many things that she didn't know, so she could only try.

As for the women's side, she would handle it well. These noble women in Liang City was easy to take care just like the women in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. As long as she could manage herself well, she would not let her husband lose face outside.

"It's more or less done." Feng Ao Kuai smiled.

Living a life with Mu Fei Jiu, he felt that he found more merit than expected. Mu Fei Jiu is a very smart and capable woman who knew how to take care of the things at home very well. Even if she acted coquettish and cute from time to time, but her way of handling matters was very good.

So good that Feng Ao Kuai was also amazed.

He even felt that his cousin had such a good eye to befriend a person like this and how lucky he was to have his mother pestering him to get married.

Though, he couldn't admit that he liked it back then.

After all, he used to think that it would be better for him to live alone and continued to do things by himself.

Why should he settle down?

Now, he finally understood why his father and mother were practically inseparable when his father got home. Because he also wanted to spend more time with his wife if it's possible.
