Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1634 Simple Minded

Chapter 1634 Simple Minded

Looking at the pair who made trouble on the field and then laughed heartily, he was in a trance for a moment.

If he had never picked up the swords in the first place, he would have stayed in that village for his entire life. He will never encounter any of the schemes that befall onto his head and caused the mess of his life.

But he picked up the sword.

Because he wanted to protect the people in the village and his family members.

Again and again, he swung his sword, taking the lives of countless people who stood in front of his way.

But in the end, he found out that what he wanted to protect had never deserved it.

How ironic.

"General…"

"It's fine." General Chi shook his head. "I'm only thinking that it's pretty nice for him to be able to live freely like this."

And that he envied the other party.

But he couldn't say this.

He could only watch the pair in the distance.

Bang!

Feng Ao Si was kicked to the back by the shy Sheng Qi Rou. She glared at her husband. "We're outside and my brother is coming tonight! Don't make trouble."

Feng Ao Si laughed heartily. He heard Sheng Qi Rou's words and his eyes lit up. "Brother in law is coming? I thought that he's still busy in the next village?"

"He's busy courting my sister in law." Sheng Qi Rou giggled.

"Hahahaha!" Feng Ao Si laughed again.

To be honest, Feng Ao Si thought that Sheng Shan Lang would try to get a noble lady based on his status as a commander on the battlefield. After all, there was no lack of young lady who would be interested in powerful and promising commanders.

There wouldn't be the so called love.

But there would be admiration and thought about the future. At the very least, with the commander's salary and so on, Sheng Shan Lang wouldn't lack any ladies who would open their door for him.

But in the end, Sheng Shan Lang picked a village girl.

It was perplexing for many people.

Sheng Qi Rou rolled her eyes and shook her head. "My brother knows himself well."

He knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand the harsh scrutiny of those nobility and all. Rather than forcing himself to learn what he had no talent in, it would be better for him to live a rather free life.

A village girl as a wife might be looked down upon.

But Sheng Shan Lang really liked the other party and felt that she was suitable for him. He didn't want to be dragged to the messy court politics and so on. So, it would be better for him to just pick a relatively normal young lady to be his wife.

It was good enough.

"Has he managed to court her?" Feng Ao Si asked curiously.

"Yes." Sheng Qi Rou grinned. "But his marriage has to wait for the next holiday because it would take a lot of preparation."

She felt a pity that she couldn't see her brother got married anytime soon. But she also knew that their holiday and break was not that long because the war is far from over. They still had their duties on the frontline.

"Don't forget to let him send the invitation to me. If I had the time, I'll go back and see his marriage." Feng Ao Si stood up and helped Sheng Qi Rou.

"Um~."

The two of them went to the house.

And it was evening when Sheng Shan Lang came back while grinning like a fool. The villagers knew what Sheng Shan Lang was doing, so they started to tease him when he came back.

"Our Commander Sheng is very promising now."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"How is it, Commander Sheng? You didn't lose the face of our village, right?"

Sheng Shan Lang looked at these uncles and aunts and could only weakly refute. But they were very enthusiastic.

General Chi also heard the commotion and heard about Sheng Shan Lang's deeds of courting a village girl. He looked at his subordinate a bit strangely when he heard this matter.

"General is there…?" The servant felt his scalp was numb and tried to ask if there was anything wrong.

"Did Sheng Shan Lang really choose a village girl?" General Chi asked.

"Yes, General Chi."

General Chi fell into silence. He looked at the commotion in the distance and recalled his so called parents when he was young. At that time, he showed his battle capabilities and entered the military. Within short few years, he had become a promising commander on the battlefield.

The young teenager came back home, wanting to share the news of victory with her family members. But it was also at that time he knew his parents had already decided to marry him to a young lady of Jian Family.

He was at loss.

He was confused.

But in the end, he followed his parents' arrangement to get married to the Jian Family, tying his fate with this big family.

It was truly a big family and looking at their richness, General Chi had to admit that he himself was tempted. After all, he had worked had for a long time on the battlefield and then came back to the embrace of a soft wife.

It felt very fulfilling.

With that in thought, General Chi continued to work and let his wife managed his family.

He never knew that the reason why the family decided to marry him away was because they were counting on the benefit that could be obtained from their connection to the Jian Family.

From the very beginning, it was nothing more than their calculation.

And the Jian Family was the same. Trading one of their many daughters in order to be able to secure the position of the Jian Family and pulled the talent that didn't belong to any faction to them.

"I hope he can stay true to his heart," General Chi said quietly and then looked away.
