Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2025  News Reached

Shi Long Kingdom has always been full of intrigue.

The power was divided by the nobles and it was hard for others to control them. Even Emperor Shi Wang could do it and didn't bother to do it. He simply enjoyed the women in the harem as much as possible and neglected his official duties.

Because he knew that even if he did his work well, he would always be restrained by the officials and nobles around him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In that case, why should he work so hard?

Emperor Shi Wang didn't want to. He felt that it was more of a waste of time to try fighting when it was clear that he would never be able to match against these nobles and officials. Why not enjoy the life he had instead?

The other officials also didn't care too much about Emperor Shi Wang and leave him do what he wanted. They focus more on the princes who were ambitious and might want to inherit the throne.

Empress Ye knew the situation, but she didn't care about these things and chose to return to her own palace.

Anyway, it didn't matter that much to her either. But what she didn't know was that the court was not so calm right now. "Heavenly General Sang! There's a smoke signal from the south," an official ran with panicked expression to Heavenly General Sang. Heavenly General Sang was teaching the fifth prince because he felt that this prince was the most suitable. He was quite ambitious and smart, which was some aspects that he appreciated. In addition, the fifth prince, Prince Wu, was also very appreciative of Heavenly General Sang and listened to his words very much. This made Heavenly General Sang satisfied. Even if he knew that these princes were not genuinely obedient and so on, but for him, it was more than enough. He would not expect much from these princes. They were not very reliable if one were to talk about some other matters. Looking at the official who came, Heavenly General Sang frowned. "What happened?"

The war between Shi Long Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom was still ongoing. It was something everyone knew and they were also paying attention to it. As one of the few people who arranged the strategy, Heavenly General Sang was naturally also familiar with it.

However, Heavenly General Sang had just received the report about the battle with Great General Long.

They were able to contain Great General Long for the time being.

But the frontline situation was not very optimistic and Heavenly General Sang wanted to arrange for the soldiers he sent to the south to face Great General Long soon. "Heavenly General Sang, the south is lost…." The official trembled and then said this.

"Impossible!" Heavenly General Sang frowned. He had only arranged for them to make some moves a few days ago. At that time, he was quite confident that he would definitely be able to win the south in the shortest period of time. But now, this official told him that they lost?

Heavenly General Sang looked at the official who was trembling in front of him. To be honest, even the official was in great disbelief when he received the signal. But after verifying that it was indeed the signal for failure and loss, the official knew that this was definitely a big news that Heavenly General Sang had to listen. He didn't dare to delay and rush to Heavenly General Sang as fast as possible. Heavenly General Sang frowned.

The signal meant that he would have to wait for some time before the detailed news would come to Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City. But at this time, Heavenly General Sang felt that he couldn't wait anymore because he wanted to know the news as soon as possible. What in the world happened to make his soldiers all lost?

He knew the strength of his men the best and the elites he sent to deal against Long Qian Xing was one of the best armies in Shi Long Kingdom. How did he possibly lost?

Heavenly General Sang wanted answer. He took a deep breath. "Leave the south now and focus on attacking Great General Long. He will arrive at that valley soon and try to bury him there."

"Yes, Heavenly General Sang!"

The official left quickly.

Prince Wu looked at Heavenly General Sang's extremely bad face and was pondering. In fact he knew a bit about what Heavenly General Sang was planning to the south.

He was coveting the rich land there and wanted to take them as his.

But it was not so easy to conquer the land. Shi Long Kingdom was indeed big, but they lacked some resources that were rich in that valley, which was why Heavenly General Sang wanted them to obtain it. It would be a great help to their war.

Who would have thought… the plan failed. Prince Wu had great confidence in Heavenly General Sang, but it seemed that Long Qian Xing was truly formidable to be able to crush the plan that Heavenly General Sang had made so easily. "We shall continue, Prince Wu," Heavenly General Sang's voice brought Prince Wu back from his thoughts.

"Yes, Heavenly General Sang."

No matter what Prince Wu was thinking, he still obediently listened to Heavenly General Sang's words. …

<Long distance away, South of Shi Long Kingdom, the battlefield between the three families and Shi Long Kingdom's side, Long Qian Xing's side.>

It has been a few days since the flood.

The lake was now full of water but it was not very deep. However, water was still coming from the river, so it was expected that the water would slowly rise with time. For now, they could still easily cross the lake to the other side while being a little wet. And the soldiers on Shi Long Kingdom's side who reached their side had been mostly eliminated and killed. Their corpses were piled up in one side and burned cleanly. "The hatred is really big." Yu Jin looked at how the three families treated the corpse and clicked her tongue.
