Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1871  Fei Yang Kingdom’s Defeat (2)

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Heavenly General Bao shrugged and then walked out, intending to let his men have party.

He didn't have that much interest in the power struggle of those nobles in Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City. For him, it was more important to have fun with his men and drank a lot of wine.

After a rough battle and also a long distance travel, they could now properly rest. After all, that Shangguan Xian would not return anytsoon. Even if they wanted to launch an ambush, his large number of soldiers will definitely won.

They won, so naturally, it was tto celebrate~.

So the Shi Long Kingdom's army were all cheering happily, laughing and drunk in the happiness of their victory.

…

Heavenly General Sang could still hear their cheers when he returned to his own area and laughed out loud. "A person like you is indeed very interesting to work with, Heavenly General Bao Brat."

His already old figure couldn't move quickly, but there were more than enough people around him who would protect him. There were even two generals who always stayed by his side, protecting his every move. And also to watch over him. Heavenly General Sang returned to his tent and then started to eat calmly. "You two, go to eat too."

"Yes, General." General Dong followed Heavenly General Sang's words as if he had received a strict imperial edict and went to eat. Naturally, he stayed a distance away from Heavenly General Sang to make sure that he was able to protect the general well.

Seeing General Dong's attitude, General Deng rolled his eyes internally but didn't say much. He had long gotten used to General Dong's dog licking attitude towards Heavenly General Sang. For him, he was nothing more than the guard to keep watch of Heavenly General Sang, so he only bowed politely and then went to eat on his own. Heavenly General Sang looked at the two of them, the corner of his lips curled up slightly.

Even if he was already old and half a step to the grave, there were still many people who were worried about him and didn't dare to let him out of their sight. For Heavenly General Sang, these people's action were ridiculous.

But he didn't mind entertaining them. As long as they didn't stop him from doing what he wanted to do and enjoying his life at his old age, he would not do anything. Lowering his head, Heavenly General Sang continued to eat his dinner calmly. …

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

The news of their defeat would naturally reach the Emperor at the highest speed. The smoke signal of their defeat was instantly spread and told to Emperor Yang Zhou, who was holding the usual court meetings.

"Your Majesty, General Shangguan lost and will retreat!"

Lost?

The ministers, who were listening to the court and those who were speaking, all shut their mouth. They turned to look at the messenger as if they were looking at an idiot.

How could they lose?

They have been dominating the battlefield for a long period of time.

Coupled with the planning that PrMinister Xian had arranged for the generals, the number of loss was extremely small. Even if there were sbattles where they were lost, it was usually just sunimportant or small battles.

It was not worth to be reported to the court.

But now, General Shangguan lost?

Does it meant… they lost to Shi Long Kingdom?

Their conquest to unify the entire land actually ended in failure?

Whoa!

The court was instantly in uproar. The ministers were all full of disbelief. After defeating one big kingdom one after another, they already have accumulated the arrogance for being the only kingdom who managed to do this in the past few decades.

The six kingdoms that had existed for a long twas broken by them. But now, they lost?

This is unacceptable!

Emperor Yang Zhou furrowed his eyebrows. He also thought that the conquest will be fine. Just a few months ago, Shangguan Xian speak with confidence that he would be able to defeat Shi Long Kingdom.

The repeated wars at the border with Shi Long Kingdom had indeed cut down the strength of Shi Long Kingdom to a certain degree.

But at the stime, they were still quite powerful.

It was also because of this that they were not able to defeat Shi Long Kingdom and after a few months, what awaited them was the news of their defeat.

They were disappointed.

"What happened?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked, his tone was solemn. The loss in their battles against Shi Long Kingdom seemed to curb their arrogance that had started to slowly grew over the time.

After all, they managed to defeat Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom in succession. With these two as precedent, wouldn't it mean that they could conquer the other kingdoms easily?

But reality gave them a harsh face slap.

It wouldn't be so easy for them to conquer the entire land.

If it had been so easy, wouldn't other Emperors before them do it first and didn't have to wait until Emperor Yang Zhou's generation?

"General Shangguan is facing Heavenly General Sang and Heavenly General Bao," The messenger replied respectfully while trembling. Because he was also full of disbelief when he received the signal.

It was the signal that no one wanted to see the most. But he had to deliver this matter to Emperor Yang Zhou as soon as possible. "Heavenly General Sang?"

"Heavenly General Bao?"

"How cthese two heavenly generals worked together?"

The officials in the court were having chills on their back. Even if Heavenly General Sang hadn't gone back to the battlefield for a long time, they knew that he used to be famous. Even their famed great generals had a hard tdealing with him back then.

For Shangguan Xian to be able to face him and able to slowly moved into Shi Long Kingdom's territory was already their biggest relief.
