Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing that, everyone expressed their understanding and wished for Great General Shangguan to have good rest. No one wanted to offend this old general who had great influence just like that.

Even if they knew he was lying… who dared to point it out?

Nan Hua also noticed that her grandfather, Old Master Nan, was following Great General Shangguan inside. It seemed that the real reason for him to not be present was because he wanted to catch up with his old friend.

'Great General Shangguan's return…'

It seemed that such incident did occur in the novel. If she was not wrong, the real reason why the younger generations were gathered was because…

"Xiao, you can sit down now."

Second Young Commander Shangguan, Shangguan Xiao, looked at the middle aged man who came and nodded. "Yes, Father."

General Shangguan was a general who followed his father's footsteps and spent most of his time at the battlefield. He rarely came back home and his children ended up following the same path as him. He had valiant figure and aura, making one knew that he was not one to be underestimated.

Since his youngest son, Shangguan Xiao, was already 18 years old, there was no point of him returning back home most of the time.

Only his wife was staying behind, waiting for her husband and children's news from time to time.

General Shangguan looked at the crowd and nodded. "Thank you for coming on such a short notice. The real reason why we call you all here is because of the next plan. I have discussed with General Long, General Chi, and General Feng about this before and that all four of you will have to endure a month's training of winter battle."

Winter battle.

They were all living at the southern area. In this place, there was winter but it was not a severe as the north. There was barely any snow in Fei Yang Kingdom and even if there was any, it was mostly light. Since they were planning on fighting against other kingdoms, the younger generations naturally have to start learning how to fight during winter.

"Winter battle?" Nan Luo was a bit interested.

Nan Hua turned to look at her twin brother. "Luo, you won't survive."

Nan Luo's lips twitched when he heard what his sister said. The two of them would turn 10 years old soon enough, so he felt that he should be strong enough now. His twin sister's words basically poured a cold water to his head.

"Why?"

"It's targeted to the four young commanders." Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at his older brother and honestly wondered whether it would be of any use to his brother.

"The training will be hold by Shangguan Family and before that, we're going to test the four of you by fighting against me." General Shangguan patted his chest.

The people there stared at General Shangguan.

Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile. It has been a long time since he fought against someone worthy. His trip to Shangguan Family didn't seem to be wasted.

Chi Song Lian was equally calm. His pupil merely constricted slightly when he heard that he had to fight against General Shangguan, but it was not that overwhelming. He had already fought against his own father countless times in the past.

Albeit all result in loss.

Feng Ao Si's eyes were burning with fighting intent. So what if he was weaker than the other young commander? He still had high fighting spirit and naturally wished to be able to have a chance to beat General Shangguan.

Shangguan Xiao looked at his father and didn't say anything. He knew very well that his father was a battle maniac. For him, it would be better if he could escape without having to spend the rest of his time resting on the bed for the next week.

"Where's Shangguan Yi?"

"First Master, Shangguan Yi is wounded because he fell off a horse not long ago." Second Madam Shangguan quickly stepped forward.

General Shangguan narrowed his eyes. It was clear that he was feeling displeased. "Bring him here."

Second Madam Shangguan thought that the one who would come back home was her husband. But seeing her older brother in law, she knew that it would be impossible for Shangguan Yi to avoid punishment.

At the very least, she would not get nothing from this event.

Soon, Shangguan Yi walked to the hall with a servant helping him. His right leg was limpid and his face flushed red in embarrassment. Being seen in this state by Long Qian Xing, Chi Song Lian, Feng Ao Si, and Shangguan Xiao was an utter embarrassment for him.

General Shangguan snorted. "Since you still could move, you'll participate. The five of you will have to fight."

Shangguan Yi's face changed. "First Uncle, I…"

"You can still move."

Move.

Yes, he could definitely still move, but his legs were not in the best condition. Having to fight against a monster like his uncle, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

"But I…"

"When you're at the battlefield, would your opponent care whether you're injured or not?" General Shangguan looked at his nephew and shook his head. He always felt that Shangguan Yi was an utter embarrassment for Shangguan Family. If not because he rarely stayed at the Capital City, he would have long asked for the brat to be punished heavily.

Thankfully, Shangguan Yi was already 14 years old. If he was sent to the frontline, he would have many chance to discipline this rowdy brat.

Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth. "Yes, First Uncle."

Nan Hua listened to them talking from the side. She was really wondering why the people from the Shangguan Family was very different from each other. It seemed that the problem stemmed from the elders.

How interesting.

"General Shangguan, may I ask you what my father said regarding this training?" Chi Song Lian asked faintly.
