Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1881 Their Plan

Chapter 1881  Their Plan

Shangguan Xiao stayed still in the room while Shangguan Yu had left.

He didn't know how long time had passed before Shangguan Xian walked out. His eyes were red and his hair was messy.

It was clear that what Shangguan Yu told him had affected him greatly.

"He left?"

"He has said everything he had to say." Shangguan Xiao looked at Shangguan Xian. "When we get back, there will be a messenger telling us about their whereabouts."

Shangguan Xian was silent for a moment and then nodded. "Ok."

It was rare for him not to ask questions to Shangguan Xiao and questioned why Shangguan Yu didn't tell him in person. At this time, Shangguan Xian looked several years older, but he was also calmer.

But Shangguan Xiao didn't really like this.

If the price needed for someone to grow so quickly was such pain, he would rather not see his older brother grow up.

Let him be the arrogant and proud general on the battlefield.

"Will he be fine?"

"He said that he had made the arrangement." Shangguan Xiao didn't know the details, but he felt that Shangguan Yu should be confident when the latter said it to him.

Shangguan Xian nodded quietly. "Xiao."

"Yes?"

"When we get back, I'll retire." Shangguan Xian looked at Shangguan Xiao deeply. "I'll recommend you to be the successor."

Shangguan Xiao was taken aback. "But you…"

"I'm not fit to be a general anymore." Shangguan Xian thought about what had happened over the past few days and sighed deeply. "I want to return and live my retirement life."

Retirement in his thirties.

It was very early.

But seeing the serious look on Shangguan Xian's face, Shangguan Xiao finally nodded his head. He knew that his older brother had come into decision and it was not his place to meddle. "I understand."

"Thank you."

…

<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom's South Border, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's location>

Nan Hua sat on top of the rocks, listening to Chu Yue relaying the message about the wars at other areas.

"I see." Nan Hua waved her hand to dismiss Chu Yue after she was done. She looked into the distance. "Shangguan Xian lost, it means the soldiers will rush towards this place."

At that time, their situation would be dangerous.

There were two options for them: stay or leave.

If they left, they could save their lives but not the people in this area who would be facing Shi Long Kingdom.

If they stayed, they would be fighting together with these people with little chance of reinforcement coming to help them.

Tep.

Nan Hua turned her head and saw Long Qian Xing climbing the rock. He looked in her direction helplessly.

"You seem to like the quiet place so much."

Whenever Long Qian Xing wanted to find Nan Hua, he only needed to find out a place that was relatively quiet and far away from the others. That was where Nan Hua would be, sitting and looking at the sky quietly.

For some reasons, he always felt a sense of detachment from Nan Hua towards the world. It was something that he himself couldn't explain either. "It's calming," Nan Hua replied.

"Is that so?" Long Qian Xing sat down beside Nan Hua and lightly stretched his hand to pet Nan Hua's head. He liked to pet Nan Hua's head so much that whenever he had the time, he will always do this.

Nan Hua let him be and enjoyed his caress. "Shangguan Xian lost in the war. He'll retreat."

"Loss, huh?" Long Qian Xing's eyes flickered. It was a bit rare for Fei Yang Kingdom to lose, but he was not very surprised. As a general who had fought on the frontline for a long time, he knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was ever changing.

It was hard to say that one could win every single battles.

Though, he was confident that he could win most of the battles he fought.

However, the scale of the war led by Shangguan Xian was one of the biggest in their kingdom's history. Losing so badly will definitely reflect badly on him. "Are you worried about them?" Nan Hua asked.

From what she knew, Long Qian Xing have a good relationship with Shangguan Xiao, but she didn't know much about his relationship with Shangguan Xian.

"No. They will be fine." Long Qian Xing shook his head.

Shangguan Xiao might be sad with this defeat, but that man was not a person who will give up so easily. Long Qian Xing believed that Shangguan Xiao would rise back and fought again soon. "The problem is our location is still at Shi Long Kingdom's border and interfere with their business." Nan Hua pursed her lips.

Long Qian Xing laughed lightly. "Indeed. Are you afraid?"

"No."

For a long time, Nan Hua hadn't felt any fear. Facing countless challenges that could threaten her life, Nan Hua was used to face it all with calmness. "I don't plan to return," Long Qian Xing remarked. He had promised Ming Shi Hong that he will help the other party. Besides, what was the fun of backing down the challenge just like that?

It was not like he was blindly confident. With the strength of his army, he had the qualification to contend for the position of Great General. He felt that as long as they were careful enough, they will be fine. "How about you?"

"I have no plan to return either." Nan Hua replied calmly. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. "In that case, I'll be relying on you during the battle, General Jun." Long Qian Xing had smile in his eyes, rubbing Nan Hua's head tenderly once again. "En."

Working together in the battle, staying together in private. This kind of life didn't seem to be so bad either. At the very least, the two of them enjoyed each other's presence and liked this very much.
