Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



But that didn't mean that General Duan didn't know what these people were saying. He looked at General Huan in the distance and turned around, killing the other soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom who climbed up.

He didn't want to stay at the back and direct his soldiers anymore and instead walked to the very front to face these enemies first.

Because he knew his people were disappointed in him.

"Losing once, why don't you just give up and hand Da Yi City to me so that we don't have to fight this bitter battle?" General Huan yelled loudly, his tone was filled with mockery and scorn.

General Duan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at General Huan in the distance. In the past, many people respected him because he was the general in the border and had protected them from Zhang Xu Kingdom's invasion many times.

They felt safe with General Duan protecting them.

But ever since that lost and his switch of allegiance to Fei Yang Kingdom, more and more people began to think that he was such a soft persimmon who could be trampled at will.

Even a junior like General Huan dared to mock him so openly.

"I have disappointed my people once," General Duan said slowly, looking at General Huan in the distance coldly. "So I swore that I'll protect Da Yi City no matter what for the rest of my life. This is the least I could do to answer their hope and disappointment towards me."

Swish! Clang! Slash!

After saying that, General Duan no longer paid any heed to General Huan.

He had lost once.

So this time, he didn't want to lose again. He will fight to his bitter end even if it meant his death because he didn't want to disappoint his people again. No matter how the end result would be, he will fight on Fei Yang Kingdom's side.

Raise his weapon up, resisting the attack from Zhang Xu Kingdom, maintaining the peace of Da Yi City.

This will be his lifelong goal.

Slash!

General Huan's face turned dark when he saw General Duan was ignoring him. To be honest, he was jealous when he heard that General Xing, Long Qian Xing, could conquer a city that many generals and commanders failed to do for so many years on this border.

Wasn't this the same as slapping them on the face?

Being compared with Long Qian Xing had become something that General Huan hated the most. General Xing was a few years younger than him, but he was said to be weaker than that young general.

He couldn't accept.

Thus, he wanted to provoke General Duan, allowing him to take this annoying Da Yi City.

Even if there were actually other factors that allowed Long Qian Xing to take over Da Yi City so quickly in the past, General Huan didn't care that much. He only saw that the result was so good and wished to be able to replicate it.

A pity.

General Duan didn't want to disappoint his people again.

Not to mention, the hatred between the people in Da Yi City towards Zhang Xu Kingdom's people wouldn't be able to be erased so easily.

Thus, the bitter battle would definitely happen.

"Continue to climb up! I don't believe they can stop us!" General Huan yelled, giving order with black face.I think you should take a look at

"Yes, General Huan!"

The soldiers tactfully looked away and followed the order dutifully. They knew that if they didn't follow General Huan's order, they would only be punished heavily. This general was known to be short tempered but it was his reckless way that often forced his way to victory.

That was how he managed to obtain the title of general after so many years.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

…

<Within Da Yi City, Duan Family Residence>

The former Young Commander Duan, Duan Shang Yi, was watching the battle inside the residence. With him losing an arm because of the bitter battle against Long Qian Xing years ago, he could no longer become a commander.

Instead, he had become a small official and worked hard.

While it was not as good as his previous position and his freedom was restricted a lot, the salary given was more than enough for him to maintain his household and everything. It was just that he would miss the frontline from time to time.

But he couldn't return.

And facing the people in Da Yi City's scrutiny, he couldn't say anything to refute them.

He was the biggest reason why they lost against Long Qian Xing back then. Because of his stupidity for following the words of Young Commander Kui, who used to be his good brothers, he ended up losing his future.

Time healed most wounds.

And it had cooled down his short tempered and arrogance. No longer the proud young commander on the battlefield, Duan Shang Yi was now listening to the battle report from his courtyard.

The situation hadn't been good at the frontline.

But his father had been fighting bitterly and so far had showed good result. They managed to defend against the attack from Zhang Xu Kingdom for the time being.

And his father's words were relayed to him.

'I'm sorry, Father.'

Duan Shang Yi sighed.

He knew how much of a failure he was as a son. Over and over, he could only create more trouble for his father.

"Master, Madam had arrived."

"She comes?" Duan Shang Yi turned around and waved his hand, signaling for the servants to allow his wife to come in. He had a wife and several concubines but he rarely spent time with his concubines lately because of his bad mood.

Only his wife would occasionally come to him.

First Madam Duan walked forward elegantly and curtsied towards her husband. "Master, this consort is here to deliver a piece of news."

"What piece of news?" Duan Shang Yi asked.

"My father wished for me to spend more time with my mother to ease her worry," First Madam Duan said carefully.
