Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2354: News Spread (2)



Old Master Nan still remembered those days very clearly.

Because he was one of the participants.

Representing Fei Yang Kingdom, he stood on the battlefield and fought against Qi Xi

Kingdom. Collaborating with other generals from other kingdoms, Old Master Nan made his name rang louder in this war.

It has been two decades or so since that time.

Old Master Nan reminisced for a moment and then shook his head.

The people in Qi Xi Kingdom might hate other kingdoms for their actions. But in the war, there would always be victor and loser. If they didn't want to be the loser, they had to be strong enough.

Qi Xi Kingdom at that time was far from strong enough.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They failed to defend their kingdom and both their Emperor and the new young emperor who only sat on the throne for a few days or perhaps weeks, were both lost in battle.

The territories were lost, the Imperial Family suffered hard, they had to pay a lot.

But they managed to keep the name as one of the six big kingdoms.

It was just that their territory changed from the largest to the smallest in an instant.

Everything changed at that moment.

Old Master Nan sighed.

Victory and defeat could happen in nothing more than a moment.

With the current situation of Qi Xi Kingdom, it had barely recovered from that massive defeat in that war. The number of soldiers were far from comparable to Fel Yang Kingdom.

Old Master Nan didn't know what they would choose.

But whatever it is, he hoped that they understood the consequences of their actions very clearly.

...

<Long distance away, Song Yun Xiang's side>

After losing against Long Qian Xing, Song Yun Xiang has been settling down in the city nicely. He had no interest to make trouble and even let the soldiers who were watching him off, pretending that they didn't exist in the first place.

Song Yun Xiang had to say that for him, changing identities was relatively easy.

He didn't have much attachment towards Fan Yi Kingdom and the only person he cared for was his master.

But his master passed away sometime ago to defend Fan Yi Kingdom.

Song Yun Xiang respected his master, but he had no intention to follow the same path as his master.

He had his own way, one that might not be acceptable for many others.

"So, Fei Yang Kingdom finally won." Song Yun Xiang nodded when he heard the news. He was not surprised by this matter because he had expected it. "It's pretty fast."

In front of Song Yun Xiang, General Ning was looking at the go board in front of them. The two of them were the few important people from Fan Yi Kingdom who switched side and being left alone.

Well, there was monitoring but it was not very strict.

Besides, neither one of them had the intention to betray Fei Yang Kingdom after they switched side.

There was no benefit.

Because they didn't want to fight against Fan Yi Kingdom, which is the decision that was respected by Long Qian Xing and the other generals when they switched side, they were not allowed to participate in this war.

They were basically staying idle in this city.

Their soldiers were also relatively idle even though there was a limit to the places they could visit. But most of the areas were available, so many of them were going to the drinking place to drink such as teahouse or some others even went to the red district. Of course, there were also those who went to the training grounds.

They couldn't fight for Fei Yang Kingdom for the time being, but there was no saying whether they could in the future or would be switched to other profession.

There was nothing wrong with training.

Among them was General Ning's brother, Commander Ning.

He didn't have the interest to play go with Song Yun Xiang, so he went to accompany his soldiers and fought a few rounds. One had to say that he was doing very well and had been having enough fun.

General Ning and Song Yun Xiang were too lazy.

So they simply set up the go boards and played a few rounds with each other.

Originally, they only planned to play a few rounds, but it ended up to several rounds over the course of a few days.

Well, they were idle.

There was no other things to do.

Since both of them enjoyed the game, they simply played together.

"Do you want to go there?" General Ning asked as she put forward the next piece and looked at Song Yun Xiang.

"No." Song Yun Xiang shook his head. "He hadn't sent any letter of appointment and I'm not going to make a move on my own."

If he were to make a move on his own, Song Yun Xiang felt that there would be some people who would come to him and question him.

It would be troublesome.

Besides, it was rare for him to relax like this.

"So, you have fun crushing me in the game more than strategizing on the battlefield?"

General Ning asked, her tone was both cold and teasing.

Song Yun Xiang froze and looked at the board in front of him.

He coughed and laughed. "Well, I won."

With that, he placed the last piece and the game was finished.

This time, Song Yun Xiang won again even though the difference was not that much.

"With this, it's 73 victory and 11 losses." General Ning pursed her lips. "You're very hard to

beat."

"Of course it's because this is my job." Song Yun Xiang smiled and pointed at the go board in front of him. "Shall we have another go?"

"Enough for today." General Ning rolled her eyes.

She had been on a losing streak today, so she felt rather tired.

Song Yun Xiang smiled. "Don't worry too much. You're actually a good player. I'm just better

than you."
