Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Huh?"

In the end, Feng Ao Kuai explained that some people managed to hear about the matter of the war and departed earlier. This included Feng Qian Kun, the third brother of Feng Family and also Nan Si Qiao. However, their grandfather couldn't leave easily because of his age.

As for Feng Qian Bo's children, they had already left to the Capital City a month's ago. It was just that they couldn't meet each other considering that Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were busy roaming on the battlefield.

Nan Luo was honestly not interested in Feng Family matter. He decided to just stay and watched as the other two left.

"Hu… Nan, do you want to follow them?"

"There's no need." Nan Hua stayed still. In any case, she knew that Feng Qian Bo was under heavy pressure to perform well after two days of subpar or low performance. He couldn't even run away or he would be faced with martial court and possibly be executed according to the law.

He was too much of a coward and only took the position that his older brother offered to him because it would earn him easy honor and money. Now that he was supposed to stand up and lead, he failed to do so unlike his older brother who managed to defend the wall well even up until now.

Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si paid a short visit to Feng Qian Bo. They could see that their uncle was not really in a good condition. In fact, he looked like he had lost half of his soul even though his wound was pretty light.

"Uncle, we come to visit you," Feng Ao Si greeted.

Feng Qian Bo glanced at his two nephew as his eyes lit up. He looked as if he had seen his savior. "Ao Si, Ao Kuai, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Almost all military personnel are called, Second Uncle," Feng Ao Kuai answered in an indifferent tone. He glanced around the tent where his second uncle stayed. Even though it was not any different from those of the same rank as him, the way the soldiers looked at him were filled with contempt.

"I see."

Feng Qian Bo looked at the two children in front of him. He had heard that these two were doing very well despite their young age. It was to the point that a lot of people were lamenting that General Feng had good successors. These two were the polar opposite, but they complemented each other well.

A trace of envy flashed within his eyes.

"Ao Si, do you think it's possible for you to talk to your grandfather about my situation?" Feng Qian Bo asked carefully.

Feng Ao Si was stunned. He stared at his second uncle with a strange gaze. Even though he was not the smartest person in the entire world, he knew very well that his second uncle was asking him to ask for lenience for the mistake that Feng Qian Bo had made previously.

"I can't, Second Uncle," Feng Ao Si turned him down after a moment.

Feng Qian Bo's expression sank. He looked at Feng Ao Si with hatred within his gaze. "Didn't your father taught you to help your family members when they're in difficult position?"

Feng Ao Si furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't know what he should answer. While it was true that his father taught him to help his family members because that was how a filial child should be, the mistake that Feng Qian Bo made was too big. He was not stupid enough to dig a hole for himself, a hole that he could never cover up no matter what he did.

"Second Uncle, a mistake had to be punished." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his second uncle with a chilling expression. "We come here to see you, but it seems that Second Uncle didn't welcome us here. In that case, we'll be taking our leave first."

"You're such an ungrateful brat!" Feng Qian Bo's expression twisted. He was already on the verge of explosion after being reprimanded for so many times by the other commander. Now facing his two outstanding nephew, who didn't want to help him, he was so vexed.

Feng Ao Kuai chuckled, but his eyes were chilling cold. He came here to find out whether his second uncle was still the same as before or not. Since it seemed that Feng Qian Bo was not willing to even treat them well and even blamed them for not using the shortcut, he would not be polite.

"Have you ever thought the consequences of your action, Second Uncle? What makes you take the sword and become a commander in the first place? Honor, glory, money?" Feng Ao Kuai looked at Feng Qian Bo. "All of them would be gone if you couldn't even do your job properly."

"You…"

"Brother, let's go. Second Uncle needs to rest." Feng Ao Kuai didn't like to speak a lot. In this regard, he was quite similar to Nan Hua. The two of them really didn't like to speak and would only speak the necessary amount of words or when it was related to something he liked.

"Okay." Feng Ao Si was being an obedient kid towards his younger brother.

Feng Qian Bo's face flushed, but he didn't dare to shout because there were other soldiers nearby. He could only watch helplessly as his two nephews walked out of the tent. When they were out, he smashed his fist on the ground, trying his best not to make loud noise that would attract other people inside.

Thunk!

A bamboo strip was thrown to the ground by Feng Ao Kuai as he walked out.

Looking at his younger brother's chilly expression, Feng Ao Si chose not say anything. He knew that Feng Ao Kuai's temper had flared up when they met their second uncle just now.

If only Feng Qian Bo didn't try to escape punishment and instead tried to work hard, Feng Ao Kuai would try to help him.

Feng Ao Si was sure that whatever Feng Ao Kuai threw to the ground was actually a method that Feng Ao Kuai had thought to help Feng Qian Bo get the lightest sentence.

A pity…
