Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 1227 Emperor Yang Zhou’s Arrival In Yi City (2)?
Old Master Nan recalled the previous experience and patted his grandson's head. "Don't worry about that. You will be able to get it soon."
"Yeah." Nan Luo nodded sullenly.
Even though Nan Luo was about to turn 17 years old this year, he still looked somewhat childish. His height hadn't increased that much, making the twins still looked fairly similar to each other.
Even if they wanted to switch their place, it was not an impossible request.
In fact, Nan Luo wished that he would have his growth spurt soon. Feng Ao Kuai was already growing taller recently and this made Nan Luo felt jealous. He wished that it was his time soon.
His two cousins were going to leave him far behind if this continued.
Feng Ao Si came to them and looked at Nan Luo. "You're not excited because you're not going to get anything in the celebration this time?"
Hearing the blunt truth from Feng Ao Si, Nan Luo glared at his older cousin. He felt that he really need to teach Feng Ao Si a lesson so that he would not say something like that.
"Do you really have to say that, Brother Si?"
"I'm only saying the truth!"
"No one needs you to say it!"
"But I want to say it when I see your sullen face!"
"I don't want to hear it!"
"Is it wrong for me to say it?"
In the end, Nan Luo chased after Feng Ao Si. The two of them ran to the residence again. Before long, the sound of sparring between the two of them could be heard even from a distance away.
Nan Hua felt that no matter how old they have become, it would not change Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si's playful nature. The two of them were just like children who were competing with each other.
She jumped down the tree.
"Grandfather."
"Nan," Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter. "Let's go inside. The procession is grand, but we can't be part of it."
Nan Hua hummed lightly and glanced to the back once more before walking with her grandfather. She had seen the procession going from the distance and knew very well that Emperor Yang Zhou planned on developing this area.
Now that this had become part of Fei Yang Kingdom, it was important for them to truly make the people feel a sense of belonging. Without the sense of belonging, it was clear that there would be a lot of rebellions in the future.
That was not something that they wanted to see.
Looking away, Nan Hua followed her grandfather. In any case, it was not her business to meddle at all.

<Yi City's Palace>
The palace was still filled with people whom Long Qian Xing had ordered to stay behind to help with the cleaning up. Right now, everyone was working hard, making sure that the palace was useful for them or they would not be allowed to even rest.
Still, the people from Fei Yang Kingdom felt a sense of pride and happiness.
They knew the worth of this palace was much more than what others could possibly imagine in their entire life.
Emperor Yang Zhou walked to the empty hall. He turned around and saw Long Qian Xing walked towards him and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the palace had been cleaned up."
"I can see that." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the empty throne in front of him, knowing that this used to be the place of those nobility from Wei Family, he felt somewhat apprehensive.
Now, this place belonged to him.
Closing his eyes for a moment, Emperor Yang Zhou took a deep breath. The preparation had taken from the time when he was not born yet. His grandfather's dream was the same as him, but he didn't manage to fulfill it in the end because of the insufficient condition.
But those many years of preparation had laid the solid foundation for him, allowing him to be able to realize the dream that his grandfather had for so many years.
Emperor Yang Zhou opened his eyes once again.
He turned around and looked at Long Qian Xing. "I have already received what you sent. It's being kept in that location, guarded tightly and no one will be able to take it. Now, do you have any request for me?"
"I would like to be given more independence to move around on my own." Long Qian Xing lowered his head.
While they were all called as independent unit, it was inevitable that they would still be assigned in some locations. They were not completely free without restrain and could go anywhere but there were still some orders.
Only those who had reached the rank of Great General could truly have the freedom to pick their battlefield. This was why this position was very important. Whoever was selected as the Great General could practically declare war as they wanted towards other kingdom without the need to report to the Emperor.
Back in Emperor Huan's era, the three Great Generals were rampaging on the battlefield. They were powerful and had their names resound loudly. Thanks to them, Fei Yang Kingdom could thrive until this day with strong military forces.
But it was not enough.
They were not strong enough to the point of crushing other kingdoms.
Emperor Yang Zhou was planning on reviving this method and knew that he would need more people who were moving freely on the battlefield.
Looking at Long Qian Xing, his eyes flickered. "With the promotion you're going to obtain, you would have already obtained the qualification to be freer at the frontline."
Long Qian Xing paused for a moment.
If he were to get a promotion from his current rank, would that be….
He raised his head and looked at Emperor Yang Zhou in surprise. Does it mean that his father had thought that this was time for him to take this position?
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. "He knew and agreed to this."
