Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

But these people were all relatively weak. If they were to be used to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom, they would amount to nothing more than cannon fodder. Thus Heavenly General Sang didn't care about the battle at the south. Unless Long Qian Xing managed to come close to the large river and then crossed it towards their territory more, then Heavenly General Sang would choose to ignore the south. Anyway, there were more than enough people who could be appointed to take care of him and the few other weaker forces there. As for the second reason he gave out… It was also partially true. Heavenly General Sang was no longer a young man who could vigorously waved his fist tirelessly on the battlefield. He was already old and his health was declining due to his no longer healthy body function. Even though so, Heavenly General Sang was not really a person who liked to stay quiet and do nothing. This was the reason why he accepted the assignment to come here in the first place. But now that most of his works were done, he had no reason to stay here and bore himself anymore.

"They can take care of themselves and I have other things I want to do when I go back," Heavenly General Sang said lightly. General Deng looked at Heavenly General Sang doubtfully.

On the other hand, General Dong agreed right away, saying that whatever Heavenly General Sang decided had to be correct and right. "Prepare for my return now."

"Yes, Heavenly General Sang."

The two generals started their preparation. Even though General Deng felt a bit confused he still followed the order strictly.

<Long distance away, South Border of Shi Long Kingdom, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing' side>

Without the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom coming, the war was basically on a break temporarily. However, it didn't mean that there was no work because there were a lot of repairs that had to be done. The soldiers were all still doing their work well and busy helping the construction so that it would be faster. As for Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, the two of them were only watching. It couldn't be helped.

They were not technically from this area and there was no way that the construction work could be handed over to them who didn't even know how the situation at this place used to be. At most, their soldiers could help with the physical work by carrying various construction materials. And the leader, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing, naturally freed their hands and only watched over the soldiers who were moving around. "The buildings in this place are quite unique," Nan Hua commented as she paid more attention to the building shapes. In a way, it was quite similar to their own, but it was modified slightly to be more suitable to this place. It was quite hard for her to describe, but she felt that some of the design such as the pattern, was more livelier here. It might be because the people here were not busy with wars and so on and could focus more on art and other aspects of life. "Right." Long Qian Xing glanced at the artist that was carving on the stone at the side. As someone who liked to carve himself, he found himself interested in their various design and methods. It was quite interesting. "Do you want to take a look closer?" Nan Hua noticed Long Qian Xing's gaze and then asked. "No, I don't want to be accused of stealing their technique," Long Qian Xing replied with a smile. He did have some interest, but he also didn't want to stand right behind them and steal their methods unless they willingly taught him. "You can ask," Nan Hua added. "Perhaps later." Long Qian Xing shrugged and then looked at Nan Hua carefully. "How about you, Hua'er? Do you want to take a look more on these buildings?"

"No."

She had no sense of art and Nan Hua knew better than to ask herself to appreciate these buildings up close. It wouldn't be suitable for her in the slightest bit since she didn't understand anything about architecture either. The two of them were about to talk more when there were soldiers shouting from the gate. "General Yu is here." General Yu?

Yu Jin?

Nan Hua turned her head to look at the gate. If she was not wrong, Yu Jin was chasing after Ye Jian in order to catch her. Even though most of her soldiers were left here, she still leave for quite some time. It should be either Ye Jian had good skill or Yu Jin chose to stay outside last night to clear her head. After all, the person she chased used to be someone whom she trusted very much. The answer was naturally the second one. Yu Jin didn't show anything to her people, but when it was night time, she couldn't sleep and walked around their temporary tents. The number of soldiers she brought was not so many, but combined together, it was still quite a lot. They couldn't return in time and had to camp outside. It was also during this time that Yu Jin wandered around at night. …

<The night before, Yu Jin's side>

Yu Jin sneaked away from their small camp and headed to the small hill at the side. She was glad that the lands here was not flat and there were several small hills she could climb when she wanted to. This kind of hill was the best to use when they needed to be alone. At the very least, it was something she had done ever since she was a kid. But back then, she would pick cliffs in order to make sure that no one could find her. Her soldiers were strong, but they were not as good as her when it came to climbing. So, she could be alone.
