Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1594 Old Master Nan’s Past (2)

"It's already the past." Old Master Nan no longer remembered how his parents looked like by now. Decades have passed and they never communicated with each other as if the other party never existed.

When he was young, he did feel lonely and pondered whether he made a mistake in his decision. But after some contemplation, he stood up stubbornly and began to fight for his own future.

He had decided on this harsh and lonely path.

So he would walk on it until the very end.

"I didn't join the military at such young age, but I followed my uncle to help with the supplies and also trained in the barracks. Fei Yang Kingdom experienced another war not even a year after Nan Family migrated to Wei Da Kingdom.

I don't know whether my parents are still alive or not at that time or whether the elders managed to arrive safely or not. There are many things I don't know, but I choose to follow my uncle and watched as the battle unfolded."

Old Master Nan could still remember hiding in the house when the city was raided, sneaking out when they left, and survived in bitterness. He was very weak when he was young, so he could only run away and not fight back.

His physique was still too small for him to fight.

"But this time, Fei Yang Kingdom won." Old Master Nan's eyes gleamed sharply as he recalled the past. "Emperor Huan had finished with his reconstruction and implemented various new rules, including the Imperial Examination to select the capable officials to enter the officialdom."

In the early years when Emperor Huan ascended the throne, he had to stabilize his power and implemented various things to strengthen Fei Yang Kingdom. But the backside was that the frontline suffered.

It was also during this time Nan Family wavered and finally chose to abandon Fei Yang Kingdom, moving towards Wei Da Kingdom neighboring Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Again and again, Fei Yang Kingdom score victorious battles, pushing other kingdoms' territory back and expanded our territory. My uncle was among the few general personally appointed by His Majesty back then." Old Master Nan's face was full of pride when he talked about this matter.

His uncle was a person with strong ideals and conviction. When everyone else was cowering behind, he was the person who dared to stand up and shoulder everything else to move forward.

Ever since he was young, his uncle is Old Master Nan's idol. He worked hard to chase after his uncle, working tirelessly on the battlefield and worked to be able to catch up to his uncle.

Old Master Nan caressed Nan Hua's hand tenderly. "If he's still alive, you will definitely like him."

Nan Hua didn't comment and only gripped back Old Master Nan's hand to indicate that she was still listening to him.

"Nan Family never come to communicate with me but it didn't mean they didn't communicate with my uncle." Old Master Nan's eyes flashed with coldness. "After he was appointed as a general, those people from Nan Family come to persuade him to move to Wei Da Kingdom."

Old Master Nan was angry when he heard of that incident from his uncle's adjutant. Those people who abandoned Fei Yang Kingdom in the early days had the cheek to come back and told his uncle to leave.

Didn't they know that his uncle had become prosperous by now?

"My uncle scolded them so badly and kicked them out of his tent." Old Master Nan laughed lightly. "Ever since then, they never appeared in front of us anymore, but we can still hear about them because some of them also entered the military."

One of younger generations even become a general in Wei Da Kingdom.

Old Master Nan still remembered his surprise when he saw that there were more people from Nan Family who entered military. They were all trying hard to be able to replicate his uncle's success.

Unfortunately, their talent and willpower was simply not comparable to his uncle.

His uncle singlehandedly changed many things on the frontline in Fei Yang Kingdom back then. But the people from Nan Family who left to Wei Da Kingdom could barely achieve merit in order to be promoted.

The contrast was very big.

"He's a powerful person," Nan Hua said quietly.

"He's indeed very powerful, but also very stubborn." Old Master Nan sighed. "In order for us to win an important battle, he chose to stay behind along with his hot headed soldiers who are not afraid to die."

His uncle had passed away long before Nan Hua was born.

Emperor Huan launched many war expeditions in his life and during one of them, Zhang Xu Kingdom fought back fiercely.

The two kingdoms fell into stalemate and Zhang Xu Kingdom even dared to create a lot of tricks in order to win the battle. Old Master Nan's uncle knew that if they let Zhang Xu Kingdom proceed further, a lot of people would die.

So he talked with his soldiers, asking them whether they wanted to stay behind or leave because the next mission they would carry might be their last mission in this world.

All of them stay.

They had fought with Old Master Nan's uncle from their youth, fighting side by side with Old Master Nan's uncle. Even if they have families and all, they didn't want to stand down and instead fought until the very end.

In the end, almost all of them died.

Only a few of them live to tell this story.

"His sacrifice allowed Nan Family to stand firm in Fei Yang Kingdom and at the same time allowed Fei Yang Kingdom to win against Zhang Xu Kingdom in that important battle." Old Master Nan sighed. "If not because of that, there's no way a small family of only a few people will be able to become prosperous."

Nan Hua lowered her head and held Old Master Nan's hand. Her eyes brewed with emotions, surging from deep within her heart.
