Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"What did you say, Nan?" Nan Luo was confused.

Nan Hua knew very well that those people were not crazy or anything, but they were dolls. They were forced to do that if they didn't want to die.

And their nicknames were dolls.

"They're dolls."

"Dolls?" Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Do you mean those grass item shaped like human?" Nan Luo naturally didn't know much about it. In fact, in this war era, the entertainment was very lacking. There were definitely no dolls like it was in Nan Hua's previous world.

The so called dolls that these people knew were the dry grass that was tied together to form the shape of human or other animals. It was sometimes made by the children in the countryside and used to play.

For those at the noble families, they didn't usually play such games.

After all, they were already too busy with a lot of education.

For men, they had to study martial arts and those books about the arts, philosophy, and many others.

For women, they had to learn the four arts for women and some other artistic that would make them able to attract men's attention better.

Thus, these kind of thing usually developed in the countryside.

The three of them still knew of these because many of their soldiers were of peasant background. They often told stories about their past when they were still young and also the thing they made.

"Yes. It's their nickname for these people," Nan Hua replied calmly.

This nickname was given because dolls were items that had to be controlled by others in order for them to move. And these people also only moved based on order.

She was not exactly sure about the training they undergone and their exact base. But she knew that it was around this area.

Because this was General Wei's area, Nan Hua couldn't be as overbearing as she did at Xia Mountains and other areas that 'belonged' to her. Her men only collected information but didn't do anything else.

She was waiting.

Waiting for the generals to take notice of this case and sent people to deal with it.

"How do you know about that?"

"There has been the same cases many years ago in Wei Da Kingdom." Nan Hua looked into a distance.

She had been investigating about that matter. With Leader Ji staying in Wei Da Kingdom in the past, she had almost complete access to many cases that happened near the border of Fei Yang Kingdom from Wei Da Kingdom.

This dolls case was included in them.

But the person who was responsible suddenly disappeared and the people in Wei Da Kingdom didn't care too much.

As long as the case stopped, they didn't care where the mastermind went.

What they didn't expect was that the person in question was actually poached by their neighbor, Zhang Xu Kingdom, to do their bidding in Fei Yang Kingdom. Slowly, making chaos by using their own people...

Nan Hua closed her eyes and opened it again, the light within had returned to its tranquility. "And the one ordered to investigate this matter should be the young commanders."

Feng Ao Kuai noticed Nan Hua's gaze and had a bad feeling. "Did you submit an application..."

"Yes."

Feng Ao Kuai: "..."

Feng Ao Si: "..."

Nan Luo: "...Wait, so you mean that we're the one who will be ordered to investigate this matter?"

"Yes."

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooo....!" Feng Ao Si was just feeling the blast of having worked together with someone so pleasant for the past few months. He didn't want to be ordered to leave the frontline yet!

On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai somewhat anticipated it. It should be better than staying here and being the reserve soldier. He had been wanting to be put into action for some time. This case should be a good chance for him to show his worth more.

Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. He didn't really mind either way. Though, he would really miss staying here as he had been growing rapidly thanks to the many battles he had encountered. The battle with that Young Commander Shang had never been over either.

The two of them kept on clashing against each other whenever they met at the battlefield.

Even though the two of them were aiming to kill each other, they never once succeeded and it looked like they were sparring at the battlefield.

At least, that was how the other soldiers see them.

Only the two people in question knew how much they wanted to kill the other party but the chance just seemed to never exist.

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Si and ignored him. If she let Feng Ao Si stayed at the frontline any longer, she was sure that this idiot would be Sheng Shan Lang's lackey for his entire life. Most of the time, he has been following Sheng Shan Lang's order because his brain was too slow.

The two of them did work together well.

But it was mostly because Sheng Shan Lang was a person who knew how to use a person who didn't have much brain like Feng Ao Si. After all, Sheng Shan Lang managed to rise up from an ordinary hunter in a village to a famous young commander. He was not stupid and naturally knew how to use his chances well.

It would be better to separate them for a bit.

That way, Feng Ao Si would be forced to think more than what he had been doing all this time.

"Let's go and prepare then."

"Yes."

"Ok."

Feng Ao Si sighed and could only drag his body to his tent to prepare.

As Nan Hua had told them, it didn't take long for them to receive the assignment stating that they had to help the problem with the new cases. And when asked about that application, they would hear that the request was made by themselves. It was even signed in their name.

They were all speechless.

They all were sure that they didn't file any application.

When did Nan Hua pit them all up together like this?

They wanted to cry.
