Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1712 A Short Birthday Interlude

There was no battle today and the two sides had created temporary headquarters for them in this area. At this time, it seemed as if they had just tacitly agreed that there was a new border between the two sides that would not be bypassed.

"You remember." Long Qian Xing smiled.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and nodded. "From today, Brother Long is 23 years old."

23 years old.

His physical age was indeed only 23 years old, but Long Qian Xing knew very well that his mental age had long far surpassed this age. He let out a faint laugh, a bit relaxed.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing curiously.

After staying beside Long Qian Xing and cooperate with each other in several battles, she could detect Long Qian Xing's change of emotions more accurately. It seemed that Long Qian Xing is in a good mood for some reason.

"Hua'er, since today is my birthday, why don't you give me present?" Long Qian Xing asked, his eyes brightened slightly.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "I asked Long Ai Ning to make cake for you."

Cake?

Long Qian Xing's expression turned a bit strange. "You can bake cake here?"

There was no equipment for them to bake cake, right?

"It's steamed." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and really wanted to tell him that there were also bread in this era. Even though the baking process was a bit different from the way it used to be in their previous world, but it was still possible to steam and some others.

The equipment might be a bit hard to use, but it was not impossible.

"I see." Long Qian Xing nodded in understanding. "Why do you not make it yourself, Hua'er?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and then admitted, "I can't bake cake."

If it was ordinary dishes, she could still do it because she had cooked in order to survive in the wilderness back then.

But when it came to baking…

Sorry, she really couldn't do it.

Nan Hua had never learned it and even in her missions, there has never been any tasks that required her to learn how to bake. This caused her to be unable to make cake even after she came to this world.

As for learning how to cook?

Ehm…

With her position as the young miss coupled with her days on the battlefield, where would she have the leisure time to bake?

It would be a miracle if she could stuff time to bake cake.

"That's fine then." Long Qian Xing would not force Nan Hua to learn how to bake. "Long Ai Ning is a good chef."

Nan Hua nodded in agreement.

The two of them then stayed quiet for a moment, watching the fire on the campfire in front of them.

It was really peaceful.

"It's good that there's no battle today." Long Qian Xing chuckled. He had just received piece of news that part of the soldiers under Song Yun Xiang was pulled back to reinforce the north border.

In other words: Song Yun Xiang's advantage in number is completely gone.

There were already countless battles between him and Song Yun Xiang over the past nearly half a year. Many people had died in the war and Song Yun Xiang kept on using the advantage of number to suppress him.

At the same time, Long Qian Xing was also slowly chipping away the soldiers under Song Yun Xiang.

If he couldn't kill the commanders, chipping away the soldiers were also fine.

But now that the soldiers under Song Yun Xiang wouldn't be able to gain any advantage over him, which was the best result Long Qian Xing could ask.

This meant that he would be able to land a decisive blow to Song Yun Xiang in their next battle.

In the past half a year, it was not like Long Qian Xing won every battle.

There were several times when Song Yun Xiang guessed his move and eventually pushed him back. It was only through utilizing whatever means he had did he manage to survive in the end.

It was really dangerous.

The two of them were matched really well and even with Nan Hua's help, it was not easy to overthrow Song Yun Xiang.

Thankfully, the half year break of Fang Sheng Lin was almost over and Long Qian Xing was planning to use that annoying man to deal the blow to Song Yun Xiang.

Temporary General Rong had also died in his hand several months ago after he counterattacked Song Yun Xiang. There were several other commanders who had passed away too, but Long Qian Xing was not able to remember all of them.

There were so many people that it was hard for him to take note of all of them.

"The barbarians at the north is coming to take their food again," Nan Hua said in a low voice.

After several weeks of investigation, Nan Hua also found out that the real reason for Fan Yi Kingdom's desperation was because they had much less food. The barbarians were more powerful last year, dealing a blow to them and causing them to lose a lot of food.

Without food, how were they supposed to survive?

Thus, the soldiers were directed to the south in order to conquer the cities and obtain some food for them to eat.

While they were still in this area, several villages had been ransacked by the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom. They took the food and let the people go in order to replenish their own food storage.

When it was late autumn, the battle started to cease.

Because it was also the harvest season.

The food was replenished and the most important thing for them is to guard their north border to make sure that they would not lose their food again.
