Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2018  Fate

<Long distance away, South of Shi Long Kingdom, the battlefield between the three families and Shi Long Kingdom's side, Long Qian Xing's side.>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

General Gao slipped away with the help of his adjutant. As for how he did that… he kind of sacrificing the other soldiers around him to give way for him to escape from the encirclement because he… wanted to run away. Slash!

The sword reached his back as General Gao urged his horse to escape. No matter what, the most important thing for him was to escape as far as possible. As for the war?

Who cares?

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing could be heard and Yu Jin looked in the direction where General Gao left with a snort. This cowardly general kept on running away when it was possible and Yu Jin felt that it was not worth the effort to chase and kill this man.

It would be better for her to leave him be and let him brought down the standard for Shi Long Kingdom's general.

Anyway, such a cowardly general who kept on sacrificing the lives of his soldiers for the sake of himself wouldn't be able to do much.

On the other hand, Yu Jin was able to kill more soldiers because General Gao basically threw them to her. What a kind general.

Of course, she might be the only one who could say this about General Gao. It was estimated that Shi Long Kingdom's side wanted to vomit blood when they knew that the usually useless general survived while the real useful one had passed away.

It was estimated that Heavenly General Sang would feel that they were annoying. "Do we need to chase after him, Jin Jie?" Wu Shan asked. He didn't mind chasing after General Gao because he felt the exercise would be good. Besides, it has been a while since he had a good fight and this General Gao was quite weak and could be dealt with if they truly worked together.

But the soldiers placement around General Gao…

This General was truly a coward.

"No need." Yu Jin shook her head. She glanced in Long Qian Xing's direction and then at the distance where there was smoke rising. "Besides, I think that there's an important message for us later."

"No need." Yu Jin shook her head. She glanced in Long Qian Xing's direction and then at the distance where there was smoke rising. "Besides, I think that there's an important message for us later."

Smoke signal?

Wu Shan glanced to the distance and saw the smoke signal rising in the distance and fell into silence. He knew very well that Fei Yang Kingdom had several type of signals for smoke signals.

It could be said that…

Every general had their own different signal for various things.

This often made things confusing but at the same time, it could also tell them various matters because it was hard to tell the things that happened far away.

Communication in this era was not very easy, so they had to rely on various signals that was easy to understand like this.

Smoke signal was one of them.

However, the message that could be sent through some signal was very limited and usually required some other things to be understood.

Right now, there are not many people who would use the smoke signal for all kind of message.

Only the most important one would use it.

"Do you understand the meaning?" Wu Shan asked.

"I don't know," Yu Jin answered straightforwardly.

Wu Shan: "…" how come your tone was so confident when you don't know?

Looking at his older sister who still had the same confident and indifferent expression, Wu Shan was speechless.

Yu Jin chuckled. "Don't worry, even if I don't understand the meaning of that signal, there's someone who understand."

Someone who understand?

Looking at the other family leaders and also Long Qian Xing in the distance, Wu Shan understood that they should understood what the meaning of that smoke signal was.

"Will they explain it?"

"Of course!" Yu Jin nodded confidently.

…

"No."

It didn't take long for the soldiers to retreat, including Long Qian Xing and the other three families as they grouped in the main tent to discuss the next matter. Yu Jin brought up the matter of the smoke signal and Long Qian Xing refused straightforwardly to tell her the meaning.

"Why can't you tell me?" Yu Jin asked with a frown.

She felt that there shouldn't be any secret from that smoke signal that couldn't be told to them, right?

"You don't have to know," Long Qian Xing replied calmly.

Yu Jin: "…"

Right now, she had the urge to beat up Long Qian Xing again. She had the feeling that this man could never stand it to see her being happy or pleased. Behind her, Wu Shan glanced at his sworn older sister and sighed deeply. He had the feeling that this older sister of his truly had to curb her confidence a bit. It was not that easy for her to be able to make Long Qian Xing talked to him if he didn't want to.

Yu Jin sulked and didn't want to look at Long Qian Xing.

Not that the man cared about it, though.

Long Qian Xing was thinking about that signal that was sent to him and guessed a bit about what Nan Hua wanted to do. But before that time, he would need to make sure to hold on as Shi Long Kingdom would not give up so easily.

The third general was still there along with General Gao.

Though, General Gao was said to be injured after fighting with General Yu and Wu Shan. The two of them didn't hold back against him and most of his soldiers who protected him had been killed by now. "Tomorrow's battle, our focus will be on defense," Long Qian Xing said slowly, looking at the three family leaders in front of him. "I will need you to continue what you're doing and maintain this state."

Maintain this state? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was easier said than done.

Pan Lei Yin furrowed his eyebrows and then asked, "How long shall we hold on to this state?".
