Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“The Nan Family has no hobby of bullying the weak,” Old Master Nan said calmly and then moved his eyes to the book in his hand. If Wei Da Lang only came here to talk about this matter, then Old Master Nan would rather spend his time reading.

It was truly a waste of time for him to spare some time to talk with Wei Da Lang.

Old Master Nan felt that he should not purposely make some time.

“That’s good to hear.” Wei Da Lang was not surprised by Old Master Nan’s words. After all, he knew the Nan Family’s temper and it was one of the reasons why he was willing to leave his daughter in the Nan Family.

Of course, he still inspected Nan Luo for a while on the battlefield.

If Nan Luo was like his father, then Wei Da Lang would rather not pick him and would choose someone else for his daughter. But since Nan Luo was good, then Wei Da Lang was willing to leave his daughter in his hand.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“I want to know if you still have any intention of going back to the battlefield… not as a general but perhaps as a strategist,” Wei Da Lang said slowly.

Old Master Nan’s hands trembled when he heard that and he turned his head to look at Wei Da Lang speechlessly. “I’m already so old like this and you still want me to work?”

He felt that this Wei Da Lang was the same as that annoying Emperor Zhou, only know how to order his old bone to work again when he himself was already so tired.

If Old Master Nan had to say, he didn’t want to get involved in these messy things again for the rest of his life.

Damn these old people who kept on dragging him to participate in various things!

Can’t they let this old man retire?

Seeing Old Master Nan’s eyes that was full of resentment, Wei Da Lang rubbed his nose and then shook his head. “No, it’s not because I want you to work, but I need your advice.”

Advice?

Old Master Nan looked at Wei Da Lang suspiciously.

Even though Wei Da Lang is younger than Old Master Nan, this man was already in his fifties, right?

At this age, Old Master Nan felt that there was no need for Wei Da Lang to come to him to ask for advice anymore. This man was already very capable on the frontline and could do many things by himself.

“What does Fei Yang Kingdom needs the most?” Wei Da Lang asked slowly. “I’m sure you know that Fei Yang Kingdom inauguration happened not long ago, which meant that Fei Yang Kingdom has declared that the land is now under them. What should the military do now?”

There were no other kingdoms to conquer and Fei Yang Kingdom had entered the phase where they had to recover.

Otherwise, they would never be able to become strong again.

The resources consumed during the long period of war had to be replenished.

But at the same time, Wei Da Lang realized that his position as a general might not be able to be kept for a long time. These great generals all have special position and at the same time, heavy responsibility.

When Fei Yang Kingdom was about to enter this kind of time… do Fei Yang Kingdom really need so many generals?

Even if many soldiers have passed away, there were still many talented military officers standing at the forefront.

“It’s impossible for there to be no military at all,” Old Master Nan said slowly.

This is the truth.

Without military, how could Fei Yang Kingdom possibly protect the people under them. But it was also the truth that they would no longer be the same from now on.

Because it was impossible for Fei Yang Kingdom to focus on military again.

Unless there were people who could split Fei Yang Kingdom and plunge it into chaos once more, which caused military to be the necessity.

But Old Master Nan didn’t think that it would happen.

At least, not anytime soon.

Under Emperor Zhou were people who were loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom and to him. And the power in Fei Yang Kingdom were all under Emperor Zhou’s control.

Those who dared to jump up would have to face the persecution of those who were loyal to him.

Unless Emperor Zhou grew old and lose control of power…

There was no chance for uprising to succeed in Fei Yang Kingdom.

“But it’s inevitable that your importance will be lesser in the future because Fei Yang Kingdom could not focus on military anymore. Do you wish for Fei Yang Kingdom to completely focus on military?” Old Master Nan asked back.

Wei Da Lang shook his head.

He knew very well that the time when a kingdom completely focus on military would be the time when the kingdom was facing threats that could destroy the entire kingdom. And at that time, there would be many people’s lives sacrificed.

Many people only see the glory.

But being a general himself, Great General Wei had watched so many people dying in front of him during the war. Their family members came crying to pick their bodies back.

It was devastating.

Now that Fei Yang Kingdom was about to enter the peaceful era…

Great General Wei knew that he should be happy.

But right now, he just felt at loss.

He didn’t know what to do.

“Don’t worry too much and just do your job well.” Old Master Nan looked into the distance and said, “You have performed your duty well. Now, it’s time for you to rest.”

Wei Da Lang raised his head to look at Old Master Nan.

Old Master Nan smiled. “This is what I told myself when I choose to retire. Because it’s no longer my time but the time for the younger generation to shine.”
