Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Fun?

Nan Hua thought for a moment and then nodded. "Then it's fine. Cleaning up after having fun is considered normal." Long Qian Xing stretched his hand and held Nan Hua's hand naturally. After doing this a few times, he had gotten used to do it. Her hand always felt really good to hold and Long Qian Xing liked it very much. Unfortunately, he didn't have much chances to do this when they were on the frontline because it would be strange to see the two generals acting like this.

He had already caused quite a view during the time when Fang Sheng Lin was present and he didn't want to add more rumors. It was enough. "Right." Nan Hua nodded.

The two of them walked back to the base and chose to rest for the night.

It was a very calm and comfortable night, one that they hadn't had in a long time. After all the battles they had experienced, a little rest would have been very good.

A date like this is even better than an ordinary rest. …

<Long distance away, South border of Shi Long Kingdom, the three family's head and General Gao's location>

<Long distance away, South border of Shi Long Kingdom, the three family's head and General Gao's location>

While Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua had a rare break after they won the battle and didn't pursue Shi Long Kingdom's soldiers because it would be unrealistic, things were not so peaceful on the other side of the place.

The soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom did bypass their place and didn't attack them, but it didn't mean that there were no one who would not attack them. After all, there were many commanders and other generals from Shi Long Kingdom. Not to mention, General Lei, Lei Lu Yao, had just defected from Shi Long Kingdom and Ye Shu Ken had to maintain his promise.

The situation for Shi Long Kingdom's side was not very good during this period of time.

The war is far from over. Without General Huan, the defense of Shi Long Kingdom's army was rubbish. General Gao was not a competent general and was more of an arrogant b*stard, which they quickly realized.

So it didn't even take one day for them to be pushed back by the three families and Lei Lu Yao. Clang! Clang! Clang!

Bang!

The sound of metal clashing continued to reverberated on the battlefield. Very few people from Shi Long Kingdom would be able to stand this current situation. They, who used to have a lot of advantages were now being pushed back without being able to fight back. The prideful soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom were annoyed by this situation, but they couldn't do anything. They were now weaker and had been forced back again and again. It was very humiliating. But that was just how it is. "Damn it!" General Gao was cursing when he saw that they were being overwhelmed. After the betrayal of Lei Lu Yao, his army was in chaos. Many people died that night and he was forced to flee.

For the proud General Gao, this was a big humiliation.

Yet, there was nothing that he could do but to accept because more and more soldiers were dying under his watch. 'If only that annoying woman didn't die.'

General Gao was pissed off. If General Huan didn't die, then all the mistakes could be pinned on her head. General Gao knew very well that it would have been easier for him to pin all the blame on General Huan.

With the status of women being lower in this era, General Gao knew that more people would think that it was their mistakes when something happened. Unfortunately, this method was impossible. General Huan had died when she faced General Lei that night and the soldiers knew about it.

By now, the commanders who used to be under General Huan was unwilling to listen to him. Even though he was technically the one with the highest rank in the army right now, but his prestige and ability to lead was actually lower than them. How could he not feel annoyed?

Without any unity whatsoever, Shi Long Kingdom's army that previously managed to win countless battles and bullied others with their sheer number was now being forced back. General Gao raised his hand and tried to order the soldiers to step forward. But more than half of the commanders had already retreated. Seeing their cowardly move, General Gao wanted to vomit blood. Not to mention, their reasons was so damn logical that General Gao had to admit it!

"General Gao, the commanders are requesting for retreat to a more favorable battlefield."

"What more favorable battlefield? We have been moving back again and again in this war!" General Gao roared in anger. The soldier messenger trembled and wanted to cry. He was only here to deliver the message and not the one who caused the trouble. If it was possible, he really didn't want to be the one to deliver the message, alright?

General Gao also realized that he was venting his rage to the wrong person, so he quickly dismissed the messenger. The situation on the battlefield was so distressing for Shi Long Kingdom's side that General Gao felt so much pressure. He wanted to yell and vent his anger, but he also knew that this kind of behavior would not change anything.

So he was annoyed. Looking at the messy battlefield, he could only order his soldiers to retreat and followed the other commanders. Countless complaints bottled up in his throat, but not a single one of them could be voiced. Because he knew very well those damn officials would never look at those commanders to blame but him. At this time, General Gao hoped that there were other generals who were alive out there who could be blamed so that all the blames wouldn't be put on him because it would have been very frustrating for him to bear all the infamy when it was not all his own mistake.
