Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Heh." Emperor Zhou sneered and sat up straight.

Before he conquered other kingdoms, many people always said that he was dreaming and that it was impossible to achieve this feat.

Because his capable grandfather had built Fei Yang Kingdom for so many years yet he failed to achieve it. There were many big wars during his grandfather, with each of them capable of changing the history.

But in the end, he could not achieve any decisive victory against the other five kingdoms.

He left it for him.

And after working hard for more than a decade, Fei Yang Kingdom finally conquered other kingdoms. Emperor Zhou had to say that this was already a great achievement that could be passed down in history.

But it's not enough.

He wanted to do more.

Looking towards the north, Emperor Zhou thought about the northern tribe and how to deal with them.

It was impossible for them to go to the north for a long conquest. Fei Yang Kingdom's resources were not enough for a long term war and the people who had followed the generals were also tired from the continuous war.

Fei Yang Kingdom needed time to recuperate.

And during this period of time, he had to strengthen and implement more laws to make everything more comprehensive.

'Let's do this first.'

Emperor Yang Zhou took a deep breath and hid his ambition in his heart.

Conquering the northern tribe would be impossible, but he wanted to hit them hard so that they would not disturb Fei Yang Kingdom.

But not now.

And that long wall project that Prime Minister Xian and Prime Minister Lan were talking about… it seemed that he would have to pay more attention in the near future. When there was someone who could finally take over the work, he had to reward them handsomely.

With the wall blocking the advance of the northern tribe, Fei Yang Kingdom should be able to defend the land better.

…

<Long distance away, Nan Luo's side>

The matter about Emperor Zhou's inauguration was not a secret, but many people could not possibly go to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City to attend it. Fei Yang Kingdom has become very big and the distance from one city to another could take days.

For those who were living far away, they only knew about it at later times.

Nan Luo was staying in the Wei Family's territory and there were many people who were the family members of Great General Wei's soldiers living around him. These people treated him well, especially after they knew that he's Wei Mu Qing's fiancé.

To be allowed to come here by Great General Wei had told them about Nan Luo's importance.

Moreover, Wei Mu Bai often came to look for Nan Luo.

Why?

Of course it was to drag him to spar.

"…Do we have to fight again?" Nan Luo asked with a pained look when he saw Wei Mu Bai coming to find him.

Other people didn't know, but Wei Mu Bai was here to ask Nan Luo to have a spar against him. Wei Mu Bai was already a general and also a few years older than Nan Luo, he often used some tactics that could be called annoying.

Even though Nan Luo had to say that his fighting capabilities improved with this practice, but he didn't want to spend his days fighting with Wei Mu Bai all day long.

He wants to see Wei Mu Qing!

Unfortunately, Nan Luo was not allowed to see her and had to accompany Wei Mu Bai in training.

At this moment, Nan Luo inexplicably felt that he was receiving the same treatment as what he had given to Long Qian Xing in the past. After all, he often didn't want Long Qian Xing to spend so much time with Nan Hua.

It was a bit useless later on, though.

Nan Hua often went out on her own and there were times when she could contact Long Qian Xing on her own. There was no way Nan Luo could possibly watch over Nan Hua all the time.

Besides, it was not like Nan Luo rejected Long Qian Xing that much.

He just felt unwilling when he thought that his sister would be taken away by Long Qian Xing.

As for Wei Mu Bai?

When is he unwilling?

He was just here because he didn't want to be dragged by his elders to talk about who to marry. Great General Wei might be the only one in his family, but there were still elders from the branch family and also the elders of his father's adjutants.

They seemed to care about his livelong events so much.

In order to avoid them, Wei Mu Bai came and challenged Nan Luo again and again.

The good thing was that the two of them would usually be injured slightly after the battle, so he could have an excuse not to go.

But Nan Luo was very troubled by Wei Mu Bai's action that he wished he was far stronger than Wei Mu Bai and could kick the man out.

Xiao Yan witnessed these all and could only lit a candle for his young master.

This was because he knew very well that there was no way Wei Mu Bai would let Nan Luo off so easily.

"Not today." Wei Mu Bai shook his head.

The two of them fought a bit too hard in the last battle, which allowed him to see Nan Luo's resentment. To be honest, Wei Mu Bai didn't really want to attract Nan Luo's hatred, especially since the other party is going to be his brother in law, so he could only restrain himself.

"My father sent me a letter saying that he would come here in two weeks at most," Wei Mu Bai said.

"Two weeks?" Nan Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He has been waiting here for a long time.

Even though he could see Wei Mu Qing from time to time, he felt that it was not enough.
