Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1145: Negotiation

Nan Hua walked back in the direction of her twin brother and cousin. Even from a distance, she could see that Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were basically done. Their soldiers were doing the cleaning up to make sure that the areas were not filled with the stench of blood.         

    

No one wanted to sleep in an area with such fishy smell.     

"Nan, you're back." Nan Luo waved his hand.     

The other soldiers basically ignored Nan Luo's interaction with Adjutant Nan. They were all already used to the fact that Adjutant Nan could leave his post at any moment but whenever he did it, it was because there were more important things for him to do.     

Anyway, they were not in the position to question the behavior of the higher ups.     

"There are not many soldiers coming." Nan Hua could see that the difference in number between soldier of Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom was quite large.     

Feng Ao Kuai nodded.     

"This might be the move of some small commanders. Are there any commanders roaming in this area?"     

"Those at the plains at the west of this city should have been dealt with during the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom." Feng Ao Kuai was not entirely sure about the overall picture of the entire battle.     

"I see…. What's their real plan?" Nan Luo asked.     

Nan Hua turned to look at Nan Luo. "They're going towards our supplies."     

Supplies?     

Nan Luo arched his eyebrows before his eyes flashed in cold light. Naturally, he knew that if they were to lose their supplies, they wouldn't be able to continue the battle. How annoying.     

"But it should have been impossible for them to reach the supplies even if they were to charge in with whatever they got because there are several layer of soldiers." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.     

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his cousin. "We keep supplies in different places because of the amount, so we have to divide our soldiers."     

"I see."     

"It's almost dawn. I doubt that we're going to continue sleeping at this rate."     

"Can't I get more sleep?"     

"It's impossible at this rate."     

"Ugh…"     

Nan Luo groaned. He wanted to sleep because he had been very tired after the last few days of battle. Who would have thought that Wei Da Kingdom actually staged another Night Raid?     

This was already the third night raid he experienced since he infiltrated into Wei Da Kingdom's territory and participated in the battle at the Three Point City.     

"Young Commander Nan, Second Young Commander Feng, Young Commander Long is looking for you," a soldier rushed over to relay the message.     

"He's looking for us?"     

"Where is he?"     

Nan Luo was confused but Feng Ao Kuai instead asked where Long Qian Xing was. Even though they were technically in one army this time, they still built their own camp and didn't really go to each other's territory.         

    

After all, they were not that close.     

Even if they were close, it would be impossible for them to disturb the other party in the middle of the night to ask about their camp.     

"Please follow me."     

Nan Hua also followed Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai. Soon, they reached an area that reeked the smell of blood. The soldiers were still busy cleaning up the corpses while Long Qian Xing stood there.     

He was wiping the blood in his sword while looking at a man who was forced to kneel down in front of him. The man was in his late twenties and looked extremely pale. The light from the torch allowed them to see his appearance along with the fact that the man had lost an arm.     

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flashed with strange light. "To think that they're this desperate."     

"Who is he?"     

"Young Commander Duan, Duan Shang Yi." Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips. "First son of General Duan. He's 30 years old this year, married and had a son and two daughters who were 8 years old, 7 years old, and 3 years old respectively. He's known for being a commander who could only stand at the battlefield because of his father's benevolence."     

Nan Luo turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai.     

"What is it?"     

"How in the world you know so much? Also, I don't think the information about his children were that important, right?"     

Feng Ao Kuai only shrugged and didn't elaborate. Anyway, he had the complete information about these commanders from Wei Da Kingdom to make sure that he would be able to recognize them and deal with them when there was a chance.     

This Young Commander Duan was naturally included.     

"You're quite knowledgeable." Long Qian Xing nodded his head after he heard what Feng Ao Kuai said. He put away his sword and looked at Duan Shang Yi, who was forced to kneel in front of him.     

"He will bleed to death in this situation."     

"His wounds are already treated, so he will not die. It's more important to know that he's quite an important piece."     

Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. It was then he thought of General Duan, who was Young Commander Duan's father. "Are you thinking of using him in exchange for Da Yi City with General Duan?"     

"No."     

"Then…."     

"I want him to surrender."     

"He will never do that!" Duan Shang Yi shouted hysterically. He will never forgive himself if his father were to give up just because of him.     

This was all his mistake for coming here.     

If only he was not so impulsive and listened to his father's words, he would never end up in this situation.     

It was so agonizing, yet there was nothing that he could do.     

"That's a good plan." Feng Ao Kuai nodded. Though, he was not entirely sure whether General Duan will agree or not. After all, he would be trading the lives of so many people under him for the sake of his one son.         

    

Will it be worth it?     

Will he truly make such decision?
