Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Send a messenger first to send the message to my daughter and inquire the news at the south border."

General Ruan's Adjutant nodded and went out to arrange for this matter.

General Ruan continued to lay on the carriage and looked at the sky outside. He hoped that his daughter will be fine along with the rest of the people.

As for Shi Long Kingdom?

It would be good if the kingdom could stay standing. But if it failed…

He just hoped that there was still a place for him here. …

<Long distance away, south of Shi Long Kingdom, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's location>

"General Ruan's soldiers had also retreated." Long Qian Xing looked at the soldiers in the distance. He smiled at Nan Hua, who was waiting for him at the gate. There was a faint sense of satisfaction and comfort within him.

"The servants have already prepared the food. Let's go back." Nan Hua nodded.

Since she was staying on top of the wall, she could naturally see the surrounding clearer than Long Qian Xing. From this alone, she knew that there was no sight of General Ruan's flag nor his soldiers.

Adjutant Bo was leading the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom to retreat.

But this meant that their main battlefield would change to Shi Long Kingdom's southern border again.

The war is not over yet.

"Do you want to go right away tomorrow?" Long Qian Xing asked. When he came here, he inquired about the mountain because he wanted to know the place that his old friend visited before.

After all, he was also curious and wanted to have the chance to have a 'talk' with the one who sent him and everyone else to this world. But this matter didn't seem to have any relationship with Nan Hua, so he was not entirely sure about Nan Hua's opinion.

"No." Nan Hua shook her head. "I'll send Adjutant Jiang ahead."

Long Qian Xing nodded. "In that case I'll send Long Xu ahead too."

Long Xu, who had come to give the report again: "…" he had the feeling that he was being despised by Long Qian Xing. In this case, part of their army will go to the north and helped with the situation there. The people who were there so far should be able to hold on. But as the one who had been giving report to Long Qian Xing from time to time and stumble across the interaction between the two of them… Long Xu would not be surprised if Long Qian Xing wanted to send him away first.

"Let's go and eat something first."

"En."

The two generals went on their way, ignoring the other people who were around. However, the soldiers didn't seem to care in the slightest bit. They were already used to Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua having their own place and conversations without them being in it.

Anyway, as subordinate, all they needed to do was to follow the order. Long Qian Xing brought Nan Hua to the campfire not far from his tent. He thought for a moment and then said, "Do you remember Fang Sheng Lin?"

"Your friend from Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Nan Hua asked back. "Yes." Long Qian Xing nodded. "He said that he wanted to participate in the war with me, so he's going to come soon. However, based on the distance from where he's located, it might take a few weeks or even more than a month."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She naturally remembered Fang Sheng Lin, Long Qian Xing's friends from his previous life who came to this world through some means. Well, it was estimated that he got into an accident that brought him here. The two of them seemed to have a good relationship with each other, though. "If he wants to come, he can come," Nan Hua said. "He's not requesting my permission when he sent the letter." Long Qian Xing shook his head. "It's more likely he's just informing me."

Knowing Fang Sheng Lin's personality, Long Qian Xing felt that the second one was more likely. Not that he didn't like it, but he felt rather helpless towards Fang Sheng Lin's action. Nan Hua's eyes held a faint smile as she replied, "His injuries should have recovered by now. As long as he didn't force himself too hard, he should be able to come here and participate in the battle."

"Right." Long Qian Xing nodded. The two of them stopped talking for a moment and finished their meal. Long Qian Xing looked at the fishes and then looked at the beach that was not that far from their location. It was still outside the city, but they could reach there within a quarter of incense stick of time. It would be nice to go there for some time and enjoy this rare break.

Shi Long Kingdom wouldn't come here anytime soon and Long Qian Xing was not a person who liked to stay tense all the time. Since there was a chance to relax, why shouldn't he take it?

"How about going to the beach and have a night walk?"

Night walk?

Nan Hua looked at the beach and thought that in their previous lives, going to the beach could be said to be a date. Because many men and women liked to go there and play together.

"Ok." Nan Hua agreed. "Great." Long Qian Xing stood up and then held Nan Hua's hand as the two of them walked to the gate. The soldiers saw that it was Long Qian Xing and even without the order, they opened the gate and let the two of them passed. No one dared to disobey the two of them because they were practically the one who had the highest position here. Even if the two of them were not part of the people here, they had helped them tremendously in the war.

For them, they would always feel thankful. So even in the eyes of the leaders here, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing had higher position than them.
