Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1146: Decision

"He will."         

    

The two words came from Nan Hua and Nan Luo turned to look at his twin sister in surprise.     

He didn't expect that his sister was so sure about this matter.     

"Why do you think so?"     

Nan Hua didn't explain and only looked at Long Qian Xing. She knew that General Duan was a smart person who understand that there was no hope at all for him when facing Long Qian Xing.     

He's also a person who cared for the lives of people under him.     

Such a person was rare.     

And it was precisely because he cared for his people's life that he will definitely agree with Long Qian Xing's request. After all, the exact same thing happened in the story that Nan Hua read.     

This Young Commander Duan was indeed very impulsive.     

Because of his impulsiveness, he was put in this situation.     

General Duan will eventually give up.     

But because of his son, he will give up much faster. The people in Wei Da Kingdom will inevitably blamed the two of them and having the reputation of a traitor was not a glorious thing.     

"Send a messenger to General Duan." Long Qian Xing waved his hand. "And clean up the mess. We need a place to sleep tonight."     

Long Xu smiled bitterly. Looking at the mess in front of them, even he had a headache. Anyway, this had happened numerous times in the past, so he knew that he just had to clean enough to make sure the smell was not unbearable.     

*sigh*     

"Oh right, why do you call for us, Young Commander Long?" Nan Luo asked curiously.     

"To discuss tomorrow's plan. If General Duan agreed, the battle will end but if he not…"     

They went on to discuss about the strategy for tomorrow's battle while Nan Hua listened from the side with no intention to interfere. The battle against Wei Da Kingdom was tilting in favor of Fei Yang Kingdom more and more.     

Soon, it will reach the point where the scale was no longer reversible.     

      

…     

    

Bang!     

The sound of chair being thrown could be heard. The soldiers outside the room didn't dare to make any noise in fear that they would end up as the scapegoat and suffered from a beating.     

It was already bad enough that they had to listen to such bad news.     

If they had to suffer a beating too, it wouldn't be worth it.         

    

"That stupid brat!"     

General Duan was furious. He had already warned Duan Shang Yi not to do anything stupid, but he received news in the middle of the night that his first son was actually caught by Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers.     

Tell him, what should he do so that his son will listen to him?     

General Duan felt so tired.     

He smashed a few more chairs before he calmed down and sat on the metal chair that was prepared for him. The metal chair was the only one that was not broken after being thrown by him as it was specifically designed to withstand his beating.     

Whenever he was angry, it was his hobby to throw chairs.     

Everyone around him already knew that.     

It was the precise reason why they prepared the special design.     

"General…" The adjutant looked worried when he saw General Duan was being so angry. General Duan was already in his fifties and could no longer have so much vigorous exercise.     

After the battle that caused him to fight bitterly, his doctor told him to rest properly if he still wanted to participate in the battle tomorrow.     

"Prepare the white flag."     

The Adjutant was alarmed. "General!"     

"This is the only option." General Duan looked at the adjutant. His expression showed that he was ready to face the harsh accusation that would be thrown to his head. "Do it."     

The adjutant shivered.     

He naturally knew the real situation and reason why General Duan would choose this decision, but it was impossible to tell others about it. No matter what, the only thing they remembered would be the fact that he had betrayed Wei Da Kingdom.     

He sighed deeply.     

Slowly, the adjutant bowed and retreated.     

No matter what happened in the future, he will follow General Duan until the very end.     

      

…     

The next day, the news spread.     

Nan Hua watched as General Duan opened the gate and walked with the white flag and wearing white robes. His expression was somewhat bitter yet relaxed at the same time.     

It seemed as if he had already given up any resistance.     

Long Qian Xing fulfilled his promise and released Duan Shang Yi whilst General Duan allowed the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom to enter Da Yi City.     

And the news spread that day.         

    

General Duan switched his allegiance.     

He chose to give up and walked out, giving up his power to side with Fei Yang Kingdom.     

"They call him a traitor and it's indeed true in a sense. People are afraid of the strong. In order to protect your family members, he chose to switch his side." Nan Luo sighed.     

Feng Ao Kuai nodded.     

And Nan Hua knew that it was not the only reason.     

The number of soldiers who died under Long Qian Xing's hand was so terrible. The soldiers under him were not Long Qian Xing's match at all, so General Duan chose this decision that would make him the enemy of everyone from Wei Da Kingdom.     

It was not an easy decision.     

"Not everyone is willing to sacrifice everything for their kingdom. Some people cared more about other things such as their family members, money, or even glory. Depending on what you deem as the most important, your decision will be different."     

Nan Luo looked at General Duan, who had come without bringing his weapon and sighed deeply.     

Probably, he will never understand the mind of these people who would willingly switch their allegiance.     

From the bottom of his heart, he never thought of leaving Fei Yang Kingdom. This is the kingdom where he was born and raised. He loved Fei Yang Kingdom and would feel extremely unwilling if he had to move from this kingdom.
