Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Qi Xue was helpless and could only stayed silently at the side. Even though she didn't like it, she knew that her junior brother was also the current emperor of a big kingdom. If she behaved improperly, she was sure that he would definitely punish her.

He was nice most of the time, but he was still a proper leader.

Qi Kan Tian silently played with the bamboo strip in his hand. He was calm and showed no trace of impatience. It was as if he had the entire world in the palm of his hand and that he would be able to move it even without doing anything.

Tep! Tep!

A strode alerted the two of them and a middle aged man stopped before the entrance to the tent. The soldiers who were guarding were nervous, but they didn't dare to offend this very man in front of them.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lei from Zhang Xu Kingdom is here."

"Ah, Prime Minister Lei." Qi Kan Tian chuckled and stood up from his position. He looked at the door and the smile on his face turned warmer. "Please come in."

The door opened and a middle aged man come in. He had regal appearance and the clothes he wore directly showed his current position. The sharp gaze and the light in his eyes told others that he was one to be trifled with.

Qi Xue furrowed her eyebrows but she retreated to the side and acted as if she was nothing more than a statue.

"The arrangement had been made," Prime Minister Lei said without beating around the bush.

"It's already late and you come only to tell me this, Prime Minister Lei?"

"Yes."

Qi Kan Tian arched his eyebrows and looked at the somewhat aloof middle aged man in front of him. He had met with a lot of people in the entire land because of his sneaking out habit. However, he had to admit that the person in front of him was one of the few people he didn't want to have any dealings with.

But his name wouldn't be Qi Kan Tian if he backed out just because he didn't like it.

"What's the arrangement for me?"

"You're going to help me fight against the people in the valley."

"This one? Are you not worried that you won't be able to rest early if you leave such an important position to me?"

"Your Majesty is smart and capable. I'm sure that you would have realized that this is the most advantageous position for you." Prime Minister Lei's eyes glinted.

Qi Kan Tian chuckled. "I understand, Prime Minister Lei. However, would it be fine for you to be here at this time?"

"It doesn't matter."

It doesn't matter?

Qi Kan Tian was too lazy to play along with this prime minister any longer. "Are you also going to give the arrangement to my general or should I take up this role?"

"He's your man and I'm sure that you know what's good for you." Prime Minister Lei turned around. He thought for a moment. "Prince Pan will be the one who talk to you about the detail."

Qi Kan Tian nodded, a polite smile on his face.

Prime Minister Lei also didn't stay any longer and walked out of the door without any intention of staying inside any longer. It looked like he was also very busy because his stride was quite long.

The moment Prime Minister Lei left, the polite smile disappeared from Qi Kan Tian's face.

"Your Majesty…."

"Prince Pan is one of the few who had real power in Wei Da Kingdom." Qi Kan Tian took the cup of tea beside him and sipped calmly. "But for him to decide to come for this war just showed that his vision was lacking."

Qi Xue was looking at Qi Kan Tian in confusion. Even though the Emperor was younger than her, there were times when she felt that she couldn't understand what he was thinking. It was not without reason that Qi Xi Kingdom hadn't fallen even though they were in such a miserable state for a long time.

Qi Kan Tian was clear of the situation in Wei Da Kingdom.

It was said that Prince Pan had some capabilities, but would his capabilities also include great ability in leading soldiers? He highly doubted it. Those annoying princes from Wei Da Kingdom only knew how to put swords on each other's neck.

"Forget it. I'll just leave it to him. Tell General Hao not to make a move tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Kan Tian only brought one general along in his journey. If his general were to be killed, wouldn't it be a big loss to him?

He would simply allow his men to play some performance but retreat as soon as possible.

"Look at this, Qi Xue."

There was a bamboo scroll that Prime Minister Lei left behind. After unfurling it, Qi Kan Tian really wanted to laugh and get angry at the same time. They all come here because of Prime Minister Lei's promise but he could see that that cunning man was still hiding so many things under his hand.

This information was already more than enough to tell Qi Kan Tian that the other party was really only using them.

How treacherous.

"How about if we go back, Your Majesty?" Qi Xue furrowed her eyebrows.

"If I back out now, I'll never know what his real plan is." Qi Kan Tian chuckled. "I would like to know his game and how he's planning to play it. Don't disturb me of my game, Qi Xue."

Qi Xue's lips twitched. She really wanted to tell him that she would never disturb him. However, she was genuinely worried.

This junior brother of hers kept on betting with his life.

She was afraid.

If he were to lose even once… it meant his end.

"But for him to arrange the location based on the kingdoms proved that he's quite meticulous."
