Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 400 Sneaking Inside

'I'm not exactly in an advantageous position.' Long Qian Xing mulled to himself for a moment before chuckling. Since he was not in a good position, why not make a move first so that he would be in a position to oversee the others?

That would be the best plan. Long Qian Xing quickly gave his order to Long Xu and the other 1000 men commander whom he had selected. They would relay his message to the soldiers later.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yes, Master."

"You're still too slow." Long Qian Xing wore his armor and took his sword. "Next time, we'll have emergency drill training."

Long Xu was speechless. He was sure that they all had prepared themselves within the time it needed to brew tea, but it was still not enough? Just how fast did Long Qian Xing wanted them to be?

Long Qian Xing walked out of his tent, now fully donned in his armor. He looked at the soldiers in front of him that had already cleaned up their tents and everything.

"There's an emergency call. Long Xu will lead half of you towards the south where you're going to be stationed on the Yu Re Plains. The other half will head to the north with me. Around a hundred of you from my side will stay behind to take care of the supplies. You'll only carry necessary supply for a day's time.

We're all running out of time, but we'll make it." Long Qian Xing swept his gaze across his soldiers. He could sense that some of them were nervous and some of them were excited. Their tired expression of being awakened in the middle of the night had long disappeared. "MEN, let depart."

"YES!"

…

Chi Song Lian's side.

"Young Commander, there's an emergency call from Kuai City."

"Kuai City?" Chi Song Lian furrowed his eyebrows. He followed his father and stationed near Zhang Xu Kingdom border. Not long ago, he was being told to move a bit further back because of some unrest by his father, so his location was not that far from Kuai City.

Getting up from the bed, Chi Song Lian gave his order. "Wake everyone up. We're going to Kuai City."

"Yes, Young Commander!"

…

Feng Ao Si's side

"Young Commander Feng, there's a call from Kuai City."

"Kuai City?" Feng Ao Si was baffled for being awakened when it was still dark for something that occurred so far away. In his opinion, Kuai City should have nothing to do with him.

Besides, the distance from here to there required at least a day's time. Would it be any use for him to lead 500 men towards Kuai City at this point of time?

His position was really low.

"I don't think I can be of any help."

Feng Ao Si groaned but didn't have any other choice but to wake up. He knew that if he didn't wake up at this time, he wouldn't have any time to wake up later on because he was too busy.

He glanced to the side and saw his strategist, Dai, who had come to assist him. Since he was a commoner born, he didn't really have any family to rely on and ended up being taken by his grandfather. Eventually, he was tasked to be put in Feng Ao Si's group.

"What do you think, Dai?"

"I suggest to head over to Kuai City, Young Master." Dai was calm. "It's the location where Hai Family reigns and there might be some problems that occurred there. If we had over, we might be able to strike some merits."

"You mean tagging along to get some merits."

Dai: "…" it's because you lacked achievement that your position had been low, Young Master. General Feng allowed you to stay under him, but it couldn't last forever.

Feng Ao Si sighed. "Even if I head there and helped, I'll be late. Is there nothing else I can possibly do?"

"If we know what happened in Kuai City, it's possible, Young Master."

"Are you telling me to be a prophet?"

Dai was silent.

Feng Ao Si rubbed his forehead. Even though the strategist that his grandfather gave to him was pretty good, but he was also very blunt. Feng Ao Si felt that this young man was not any better than his younger brother in terms of dissing him.

"In that case…."

Drap! Drap!

"Young Master, there's a message from Great General Nan."

"Uh, grandfather?" Feng Ao Si's face scrunched when he heard that. He hadn't had any message from his grandfather for a long time, so he feared whatever his grandfather might send him now.

"Open it, Young Master."

"I know, I know." Taking the bamboo tube, Feng Ao Si opened it and looked at the bamboo stick that fell off. Upon seeing the content, he was absolutely speechless.

Dai studied Feng Ao Si's expression before asking, "What is it, Young Master?"

"Well, it seems that I have to stay here and stop the movement of the forces that belong to Hai Family." Feng Ao Si's face was bitter. "How in the world am I supposed to find them?"

"Young Master, they're over there." Dai pointed to a location.

"How do you know?"

"They're putting up the Hai Family banner."

Feng Ao Si: "…"

He felt that the enemies were even stupider than him this time. Since it was the case, he had to make sure that he would not disappoint his grandfather.

"In that case, let's move!"

"YES!"

…

That night, several forces were moving after seeing the smoke.

Nan Hua sneaked away from her twin brother and cousin. They were originally surprised when they heard that she wanted to sneak into the inner residence in order to find Prince Yang Lu. After all, they were all staying at the other side inside Hai Family Residence.

This time, she assumed the identity of Yang.

Swish!

Though, she kept her presence hidden.

'There are more and more guards. Sneaking in will be more difficult.'
