Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The fact that Long Qian Xing had been promoted to become a general was not a secret. There will be more and more people who heard about it as time passed and General Duan naturally knew about this.

At this time, he could only feel that the younger generation in Fei Yang Kingdom was growing up too fast for the younger generation in his previous kingdom to catch up. But the other kingdoms wouldn't be as easy to deal as Wei Da Kingdom.

Their younger generations were all growing up too and many of them had already made names just like Shangguan Xian and Long Qian Xing.

It would be the clash in the future that would determine which one among them who was more powerful.

"General Duan, there's no need to be so polite." Long Qian Xing waved his hand and looked at the man in front of him calmly. "There are a lot of people who had been chosen to work for Fei Yang Kingdom. This time, it's your turn, General Duan."

General Duan was astonished and then smiled. "I'll do my best to fulfill His Majesty's expectation to me."

The appointment was rather informal because this was only Long Qian Xing informing in advance. There will be the letters of appointment in the future and it was not something that Long Qian Xing was qualified to issue for the time being. There had to be someone else who stepped forward.

"Also, the kingdom apologized for your son's situation and had decided to appoint him to be a minister in this city."

General Duan's first son, Duan Shang Yi, lost his arm in the battle in Da Yi City back then. It might not be because of Long Qian Xing since the one who handled the battle back then was someone else. However, the apology still had to be given to retain General Duan.

The position was naturally not that high, but there wouldn't be any problem with making sure that he could live for a long time until he died naturally.

General Duan cupped his fist. "In that case, I would like to thank you for his recommendation."

"You don't have to give the thanks to me." Long Qian Xing waved his hand politely.

The two of them speak a few more polite words before General Duan asked another question that he was curious about. And that was about River General Kui's son. The fact that River General Kui was still alive was not a secret but General Duan knew that it wouldn't take long for River General Kui to die.

He had long known that River General Kui was old and had to take care of his health if he wanted to live long.

But among these old generals, who among them who were not more stubborn than the others?

They were all very hard to be pulled back once they have decided on something.

For these old generals, what they wanted was to stand at the frontline once more and used their already diminishing life to accomplish more things for the new generations. It was really hard to pull them back to the back line.

They all wanted to stand at the frontline.

As a person who had fought in their era, General Duan himself also knew the desire to stay at the battlefield for him was also strong. Because there were some things that could only be done when they were at the frontline, which was very different from the peaceful life that many nobles had.

Some people just couldn't stand living in peace after living so many years in those areas where life and death was just a matter of moments.

"Does Young Commander Kui still alive?" General Duan asked.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He thought about the last attack from Young Commander Duan back then, which was instigated by Young commander Kui. These two young masters had completely cut off their relationship with each other, making irreparable relationship with each other.

It was estimated that if these two were to meet with each other, there might be an inevitable battle going on.

However, Young Commander Kui was indeed still alive.

He had been demoted, but he was stationed not far from Yi City in order to work harder and obtain some merits on his own. From what Long Qian Xing had heard, he was working hard to destroy the bandits in the surrounding area.

"Yes, Young Commander Kui is still alive." Long Qian Xing nodded.

General Duan took a deep breath and nodded helplessly. "I see."

The two of them talked a few more words before Long Qian Xing left. General Duan stayed still in his place and felt exceptionally tired. He knew very well that his son was the stupid one and wouldn't have the chance to touch Young Commander Kui again in the future.

'How did I give birth to such a stupid son?'

Even General Duan felt so helpless when he thought about this matter.

Later on, he told his son about his new appointment. All these times, Young Commander Duan, Duan Shang Yi, was staying in his residence and recuperated. Losing a limb had caused him to be unable to work as he used to be.

Even though he wanted to be irritable and threw his temper around, he was not a stupid person. When he saw the dire situation of his father and the cost of his mistake back then, he could only blame himself.

He knew that if it was not because of him, many things could happen.

And because of his mistake, Duan Family name was tarnished.

That was one of the few things that made him very angry, but he was also helpless to do anything.

"I'll be a minister?" Duan Shang Yi was stunned when he heard his father's words.

"Yes. You wouldn't have any problem to live for a long time as long as you behave yourself." General Duan looked at his first son and sighed deeply. He had long hoped that his son would be able to replace him and fought at the battlefield bravely. But it seemed that this was nothing more than a dream.
