Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Replying to Young Commander Long, there's smoke from Wei Da's headquarter. It's suspected that Young Commander Feng had succeeded."

"He did it?" Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. His lips curled up to form a smile. "That's not half bad."

The man who talked just now didn't dare to speak more.

Even though Long Qian Xing looked like he was smiling, it was clear that he was dissatisfied. From the very beginning, this plan of his was a double play. But the problem was that the other commanders were unwilling to follow his plan.

Some of them were also too famous, making it hard for them to disappear without anyone noticing.

In the end, Long Qian Xing settled on Feng Ao Si. While that man was an idiot who only knew how to charge forward, Feng Ao Si was still a capable fighter. At the very least, Long Qian Xing wished to cut down the enemy's commander one by one.

He should be able to settle at least one.

"It's still too long." Long Qian Xing waved his sword and then turned to look at the mess around him. "Settle the rats."

"Yes, Young Commander Long!"

Swish!

The men swiftly moved once more. In their opinion, having to fight at the frontline was much better than having to stay at the camp and train under Long Qian Xing's order. The training they experienced truly reflected the word 'hell.'

Long Qian Xing looked around him once more before disappearing into the forest to chase after the other soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom.

There was no way he would let anyone alive.

…

"What an amazing diversion tactic," Feng Ao Kuai mumbled as he looked at everything from the top of the tree. Nan Luo was still standing beside the tree with Nan Hua and Xiao Yan nearby.

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "I thought that he's going to repeat yesterday's strike."

"He's not stupid like Older Brother."

"…"

For some reason, Nan Luo felt that the baseline of someone being stupid would always be Feng Ao Si. He silently lit a candle for his older cousin in his heart because he knew that it would be impossible for Feng Ao Si to wash off the tag 'stupid' from his head in this life.

Even if he were to jump into the Yellow River, it wouldn't change a thing.

"Today can be considered as our victory." Feng Ao Kuai smiled in satisfaction. "But it didn't mean that we can relax."

"Mhm."

Their purpose was to stall for time and stopped the soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom from providing support. After all, the number of soldiers in their side was at disadvantages. They had to resort to many igneous tactic or formation in order to make sure that they would be able to win the battle.

Thus, the curtain closed for the day.

Feng Ao Si only returned when it was late at night. The distance from the enemy's headquarter to their headquarter was quite far.

He gave the report to his father.

"You two did good." Feng Qian Shao was satisfied when he heard his son's report. However, the fact that this brat still lacked a good strategist was extremely apparent. He rubbed his forehead because he knew that it would be impossible for him to ask Feng Ao Kuai.

Feng Ao Kuai had long stated that he didn't want to be in the same army as his older brother.

As for the reason?

Feng Qian Shao looked at his son and rubbed his chin. "When we get back, I'll introduce some strategist to you, Ao Si. You need to train your soldiers better."

"Yes, Father." Feng Ao Si felt a bit downcast when his father blatantly rebuked him.

Beside him, Long Qian Xing was still acting nonchalant and only looked at the edge of the table as if it was the most interesting things in the entire world. Even though he also agreed with General Feng, he chose not to say anything to preserve the young man's dignity.

After the short discussion for tomorrow's battle, they were dismissed.

Long Qian Xing glanced at Feng Ao Si. "Keep up the good work. If you do well, you'll be able to be promoted soon."

"Aren't you also aiming for promotion?" Feng Ao Si was suspicious.

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "While I did aim for promotion, it's not the time yet."

He was only 14 years old but already gotten the ranks of 300 men commander. It was already a very good rank for someone as young as him, so he was sure that there would be a lot of people objecting if he were to get promotion again soon.

Not to mention, that annoying Young Commander Chi would surely be at the forefront to object.

Long Qian Xing was not in a hurry.

He would take the chances if there was any, but if fates didn't tell him to obtain promotion, he would wait for the next chance.

"You're doing very well right now."

"Mhm, you're not that bad either. We shall see later."

The two of them bid their farewell and Feng Ao Si joined the other two. He told them his experience of sneaking into the enemy's base and what he did when he was going there. Of course, he omitted some embarrassing matters.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded at his older brother. "We're at disadvantage in terms of soldiers' number, so we have to win the battle at the shortest time possible. The best method is to catch them off guard."

"Right, but I really feel like I'm an assassin when I'm sneaking around like that." Feng Ao Si sighed. Thankfully, his presence in the battlefield was quite low. Though, he was sure that they wouldn't be able to repeat the same tactic.

How could they forget about him now after he raided their headquarter?"

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Si and stayed silent. If she was the one who led the soldiers, she would have picked a different path that had more bushes and protection. That way, she would be able to avoid battle before reaching the headquarter, making them in the best situation.

But of course, that was only an 'if.'
