Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1588 Departure from Liang City (2)

Old Master Nan was stunned.

He smiled wryly when he looked at this young emperor in front of him and silently lowered his head while cupping his fist. "Your Majesty, this old servant is already aged and could no longer do any intense exercise."

When he was young, he always hated when others said that he was weak. But now, he didn't care about it anymore and only wished that he would be able to spend more time with his children. After working on the battlefield for so long, he had quite enjoyed this time when he didn't have to go to the frontline.

Though, he was still reprimanded by his doctor for having some exercise in the morning every day.

Sometimes, he took a bit too long, which was not good for his age.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Old Master Nan nodded. "I wish you good health and long live."

In this era, the average lifespan was definitely not very long due to the limited medical and healthcare. Old Master Nan had indeed surpassed the average lifespan.

While Old Master Nan was not that active, he still protected the central area well and arranged the necessary people to step forward. Perhaps, this was the best from him and there was no need for other matters anymore.

He still played his role.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Old Master Nan cupped his fist.

"I should be the one to thank you for protecting Fei Yang Kingdom." Emperor Yang Zhou's expression was serious.

Old Master Nan looked at the youth in front of him and laughed lightly. He cupped his fist and said nothing.

Becoming a general, fighting at the frontline, many of them also have their own selfish reason. But some of them did this in order to protect the people behind them.

He couldn't accept Emperor Yang Zhou's thanks.

As he knew that the reason why he participated on the battlefield and eventually became a general was not so pure.

*neigh*

The horse neighed and Emperor Yang Zhou patted his horse. He waved his hand and the order was given.

"Set out!"

The soldiers began to walk in orderly manner towards the south, heading to Fei Yang Kingdom Capital City.

Long Qian Xing was at the other side of Emperor Yang Zhou, listening to the sound of the soldiers marching and also the nature around him. He turned his head to look at Nan Hua, but she had already went towards Old Master Nan.

The corner of his lips curled up slightly.

That little lass didn't seem to care so much that her real identity was found out. With her interacting more with Old Master Nan in this journey, there will be more people who found out about her real identity.

He turned his head and looked to the front.

Well, it was time for him to behave slightly.

Just a bit.

…

<Long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City>

At this time, Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City was calm and there were people who came and goes. Another carriage entered the capital city and passed the check easily.

"Madam, we've arrived."

"It's good." Nan Si Qiao looked outside from the carriage and sighed deeply. She hadn't been to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City for years. Seeing the city again, Nan Si Qiao felt a bit melancholic.

"Nan Family Residence is at the front."

"Mhm."

Old Master Nan and the others hadn't arrived yet. Nan Si Qiao came first because she received a letter from Feng Ao Kuai, telling her that he would return. She hadn't seen this second son of hers for a long time. 

The last time was during Feng Ao Si's marriage.

These brats had grown up and stayed outside for a long period of time.

"Mom, will Second Brother come?" Beside Nan Si Qiao, Feng Ao Qian, asked in his milky voice. 

Feng Ao Qian was only 7 years old and still looked really small. His big eyes were staring at her mother curiously.

"Yes, your second brother will come." Nan Si Qiao patted Feng Ao Qian's head tenderly. She felt glad for having the third child because there was someone who accompanied her when her husband and first two children were going to the battlefield.

The residence has been very lonely without their presence.

So, Feng Ao Qian's existence soothed her greatly.

"Ao Qian wants to play with Second Brother." Feng Ao Qian's eyes lit up in excitement.

Nan Si Qiao smiled and nodded. "I'll tell your second brother to play with you."

"Thank you, Mother." Feng Ao Qian clapped his hand.

Nan Si Qiao chuckled and hugged Feng Ao Qian. 

She missed those two brats very much, but she also knew that they had their own reason why they go to the frontline. As a mother, she could only worry about them and prayed for their safety.

Hopefully, they would be able to return safely.

The letter given to her not long ago given her immense relief. 

"Madam, we've arrived."

"Let's go, Ao Qian."

"Yes, Mom~."

The two of them alighted from the carriage and at the side, Mu Yan was watching the maidservants who came and arranged it. She might be Nan Hua's maidservant, but in this case, she was the one who was responsible for helping Nan Si Qiao.

Until Nan Hua returned to her original identity, Mu Yan would be the one staying here and helping out Nan Si Qiao and others.

Lately, there were many forces who had been moving.

So Mu Yan had to be careful.

A servant approached her and whispered, "Sister Mu, there's someone looking for you at the back gate. He said that his surname is Feng."

Feng surname?

Mu Yan arched her eyebrows and walked to the back gate and saw a young man standing there. He looked relatively young and had a pale face. Seeing his familiar countenance, Mu Yan thought of a person who looked like him but younger in the past.

"Fifth Young Master Feng?"
