Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Nan Hua turned around and shook her head lightly. "There's no need to worry, we're not at the epicenter. And in this open ground, we'll be fine."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Jin looked confused.

It was then Nan Hua recalled that this world shouldn't have researched the matter of earthquake deeply. In their eyes, it was the Heaven's punishment for them because the Heaven is angry.

Nan Hua: "…"

Forget it.

She didn't bother to explain and simply looked in the direction of Zhang Xu Kingdom. She had read about this matter in the novel before. On the day before New Year, 8th year of Emperor Yang Zhou's Reign, 3rd Year after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration, and 1st Year of total war state, at the end of Winter, the biggest earthquake in the past 100 years occurred.

And the center of the earthquake was precisely in the middle of Zhang Xu Kingdom.

It was as if the Heaven was angry because of what Zhang Xu Kingdom had done in their reign. Many people died and no one could stop this natural disaster. The earth below moved and caused heavy devastation to Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Other kingdoms wouldn't be affected aside from feeling the ground shook a bit.

But the result of this earthquake would be devastating for Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future as they had to face many problems.

"In the face of nature, humans are really small," Nan Hua muttered as the ground stop shaking. She was at the frontline, which was why she could still feel the tremor on the ground. But it was estimated that those in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City would not be able to sense anything.

Those in Shi Long Kingdom would probably not know anything as they were simply too far.

"You're really courageous to stand in the middle of the field." Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua and shook her head. "Don't you know how dangerous it is when the Heaven is angry?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Please, she could not be so superstitious after learning everything. Oh well… living in this world, she just had to accept that her knowledge wouldn't be useful and had to adapt to the way they thought.

"It's because the Heaven is angry, so I have to stand in the open area and accept the wrath, right? If I'm hiding behind the trees, it means that I don't want to acknowledge my mistake."

Actually, what Nan Hua wanted to say was that hiding behind the trees were more dangerous. If they were at the epicenter, it was estimated that the trees would fall down and might even crush them to their death.

But she couldn't say it outright to a superstitious person like Yu Jin.

Yu Jin was dumbfounded and thought for a moment before nodding. "You're right." She then proceeded to cup her fist. "I wish the Heaven is no longer angry."

Nan Hua: "…"

Do you know that the earth might still shift after an earthquake, so there was possibility of smaller earthquake that followed afterwards?

But in the end, Nan Hua chose not to say anything.

ƥandasnovel.com She had been staying with Yu Jin for several months and trained the soldiers under Yu Jin. Taking out a scroll, she handed it to Yu Jin. "Don't let anyone see it. Just follow this instruction when you're facing enemies who are good at frontal battle and also tactics."

Yu Jin arched her eyebrows and took the scroll. "Alright. Does it mean that you're going to leave?"

"Yes."I think you should take a look at

"You're not going to celebrate New Year with your older sister?"

Nan Hua thought about the follow up of this earthquake and shook her head slightly. "Now that Zhang Xu Kingdom is suffering from such disaster, there's no way that His Majesty will let the chance pass. I'm planning to prepare for the war."

Yu Jin thought about it for a moment and nodded.

The war with Fan Yi Kingdom had ended around two months ago and they were all in the constant stalemate with the other kingdoms. Now that there was a sudden earthquake with Zhang Xu Kingdom at the center of the disaster… it was estimated that other kingdoms would take advantage of this matter.

This earthquake could be said to be the beginning of chaos among the five kingdoms.

How the surface would change in the future would depend on how the war would be in the confrontation in the next few months.

"In that case, may the Heaven be with you, Hua'er."

"You too, Jin Jie."

The two of them looked at each other before Nan Hua left. Tomorrow was New Year and this earthquake at the end of the year seemed to signify that the next year would be different.

Indeed.

Everything would be very different starting from tomorrow.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City>

The news of the earthquake from Zhang Xu Kingdom spread. Unlike Fan Yi Kingdom who had emergency court meeting because of the winter war, the officials were having holiday. Who would want to head out when the temperature was so cold outside?

They would rather stay inside and not do anything.

However, for a matter such as an earthquake, it was impossible for the Emperor not to be informed.

Emperor Yang Zhou was staying within his study room. It was really cold and there were even snow outside, so the heater was put on. No one would be willing to get out without wearing thick clothes.

"Your Majesty, there's a report from the frontline. It is said that there's a big earthquake from Zhang Xu Kingdom."

"Earthquake in Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Emperor Yang Zhou arched his eyebrows. He was prepared for a long and arduous war with Zhang Xu Kingdom, but they unexpectedly encountered a disaster?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table with his fingers. Now that there was an earthquake in Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was estimated that they would be busy with the disaster relief and might have to split their forces.

In that case…
