Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 1310 Long Qian Xing’s Thoughts
He was faintly recalling his first meeting with Nan Hua. The young girl looked weak, pale, and sickly. Being called by his older sister to Long Family Residence, she was instead schemed and poisoned.
At that time, he didn't care for Nan Hua and didn't have much thoughts about her. For him, she was just an unfamiliar fiancée that was tied to him by his family members without bothering to ask about his opinion.
She looked so small, weak, and fragile.
After that meeting, they met again in the small banquet and the stupid girl was fooled and nearly fell.
At that time, he only thought that she was so stupid.
How could she listen to the words of others so easily and be easily coaxed by them? If not because he was there, would she be embarrassed and laughed at by others? He felt that girls were nothing more than troubles.
Again and again, his impression of Nan Hua was nothing more than the protected young lady of Nan Family.
Later on, he heard of her past life in Nan Family Residence because of her father and step mother treatment and felt a bit distressed. The young and weak girl had actually suffered so much.
He watched as the young girl overturned the scheme directed at her to others.
She was not just a weak and useless young lady, but a weak and smart young lady who knew how to use her position to protect herself.

Very beautiful.
Long Qian Xing didn't know whether he was attracted by her beautiful appearance or because of her cunning and smart appearance first. What he knew was that before he knew it, he couldn't move his eyes away from her.
He would unconsciously follow her when she appeared in front of him.
But Nan Family had their own plans and sent her away from him for a long time. He tried to find her, desperately trying to find her figure.
What he didn't expect was that she was actually so near yet he looked at the faraway distance.
Was he so blind?
He thought that he could always find her no matter where she was.
But reality gave him a hard slap that even when she was beside him, he couldn't sense her at all.
And it was only then he realized that she was not the weak girl.
She's strong.
Even stronger than him in some areas.
But no matter how much he had interacted with Nan Hua, he felt that he would always forget about this matter. His impression of her remained on the past when she was still the weak yet smart young lady who knew how to protect herself.
Long Qian Xing closed his eyes.
He couldn't bring himself to see Nan Hua as a strong martial artist.
Until today.
The moment he saw that black obsidian pupils staring in his direction with such clear eyes, he knew very well that he couldn't deceive himself. She did have weak and petite appearance, but she's also very strong.
When he was interacting with her in some matters, he had to remember that she was no longer just his small fiancée. She's also a martial artist and also a commander on the battlefield who could fight on the frontline and influenced the result of the battle.
So, he also seriously discussed the tactics and arranged her position in accordance to her abilities.
He was hesitant.
But in the end, he chose to do this.
Because he knew very well that it was impossible for him to put Nan Hua in the safe position on the rear when he knew how valuable her abilities were. He wanted to protect her, so what he could do was to get stronger and made sure that he was in the position to do so.
Long Qian Xing's eyes flashed with determination before he turned around and entered the tent.
…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe day passed quietly.
Everyone had their own thoughts as they rested for the night. It was a quiet night and no one tried to ambush the others.
Perhaps, it was because they knew that this would be a long battle and hasty ambush would not yield them anything.
The next day, the battle was as vigorous as the previous day. General Chi and the others in his side was using the same tactics.
Feng Ao Si wanted to protest, but it was not possible because Dai said that it was the best course of tactics.
"Why can't I just charge forward?"
"First of all, Young Master, we can't follow you if you decide to charge inside. These soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdoms are too weak for your immense strength and stamina." Dai's poker face was a shade darker as he tried to convince Feng Ao Si.
He swore silently inside his heart that he wanted to ask for a raise from Old Master Nan.
Being Feng Ao Si's nanny was truly not easy!
"Secondly, this terrain allows to use more maneuver than our usual terrains. If you keep limiting yourself to just one type of tactic, your opponent can read you so easily and your soldiers will not gain enough experience."
"Thirdly, you're not just out here to fight alone but as a commander who's leading his soldiers. You have to think about your course of action because it will affect the entirety of the army under you as well."
"Fourth, General Chi didn't ask the commanders under him to effectively kill the commanders from Zhang Xu Kingdom because there are too many of them and many of them are hiding. The best thing we should do right now is to chip their number of soldiers and weaken them for future battles."
"Future battles?" Feng Ao Si was confused.
"Do you really think that it's possible for us to completely capture Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City from this distance?" Dai looked at Feng Ao Si coldly.
Feng Ao Si was silent for a moment before shaking his head.
