Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1563 Victory Celebration (1)

"Miss, the carriage is ready." Chu Yue stepped forward.

Nan Hua nodded and walked out.

As one of the general, even if it was nothing more than temporary ones, she had to attend this celebration ceremony in person. 

…

<Nan Luo's side>

After slipping away, Nan Luo returned to his own carriage. Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si were both already inside. The temperature in the carriage this time was exceptionally low.

It seemed that the two siblings hadn't reconciled with each other.

"Where did you go, Luo?" Feng Ao Si asked, feeling a bit awkward because his younger brother didn't seem to be willing to talk to him. Ever since that light review about their battle performance, Feng Ao Kuai had never talked with Feng Ao Si again.

As their cousin, Nan Luo didn't know how long the two of them would keep up this 'cold war.'

But he had no intention to meddle because he knew that it was not his place at all.

"I'm paying a short visit to someone," Nan Luo replied calmly, not intending to hide this matter at all. Anyway, Feng Ao Si will know that Jun Hua is Nan Hua sooner or later.

Eh wait…

Did this cousin of his didn't pay attention to Jun Hua's appearance at all?

He turned to look at his cousin, who blinked his eyes innocently and then looked away. Considering Feng Ao Si's personality, Nan Luo would not doubt that this matter was completely possible.

*sigh*

Having such a cousin brother was truly a big challenge.

Nan Luo then turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. "Only those at the rank of general is worthy to be mentioned here this time?" Nan Luo whispered at Feng Ao Kuai

"Not exactly. The others will only be mentioned in the army and given raise in military rank." Feng Ao Kuai thought of the battle review with Great General Wei before. "There should be an exception this time."

"Exception?" Feng Ao Si was confused.

Nan Luo was also interested. "What kind of exception."

Feng Ao Kuai shrugged and didn't explain. He was still paying close attention to the political moves of those officials in Fei Yang Kingdom, so he still knew some things. But it didn't mean that he knew everything.

This was only his guess. 

Nan Luo knew from Feng Ao Kuai's stance that he was not willing to talk about anything else, so he shut his mouth.

The carriage moved slowly.

More and more people arrived in the Imperial Palace and got out. The battle back then did cause some damage, but it was not worth mentioning. Aside from broken gravel and walls, there didn't seem to be any marks that there was a battle in this Imperial Palace not long ago.

Nan Luo shifted his eyes from these things and followed the others to the main hall.

The Imperial Palace could be said to be quite grand. There were various decorations and the arrangement was also made to be particular. It clearly reflected the long history of Zhang Xu Kingdom that was buried deeply. 

Slowly they all entered inside.

The other people also arrived one by one. The one with the highest rank was naturally Great General Wei followed by Long Qian Xing, General Chi, and also Nan Hua. Even though General Chi planned to retire, he still attended this victory celebration since he contributed.

The battle was filled with ups and down in his side, but thankfully everything went well in the end.

"You're here." Long Qian Xing smiled when he saw Nan Hua. Different from her, he was dressed in military robe without the armor. After all, it would be strange for him to wear full armor when he came to participate in this victory celebration.

Even his weapon had to be kept outside.

There was no weapon allowed to be put inside.

Nan Hua nodded. "I have to come to this ceremony."

Looking at Nan Hua's face, Long Qian Xing faintly remembered that Nan Hua had already come and participated in the reward ceremony back then. However, at that time, she was still wearing a mask and only a small adjutant.

Even when she had such low rank, her achievement was comparable to those others who were already veterans and participated in many battles. It was no wonder that she was still being mentioned back then.

And now, she kept on pushing Zhang Xu Kingdom back in the war. She repeatedly made them unable to fight back.

If Nan Hua was not mentioned, it would be strange instead.

"Your rank is already comparable to me." Long Qian Xing chuckled lightly.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing. On the surface, Long Qian Xing was just an ordinary general. But ordinary general definitely didn't have as many soldiers as Long Qian Xing. His army had been spread apart and after this, it was estimated that he would also recruit more soldiers.

After all, the one who had lost many commanders were not only Zhang Xu Kingdom but also Fei Yang Kingdom.

Countless soldiers had fallen.

The soldiers who lost their commanders would be rearranged to other units.

The priority will definitely be given to those who had done well and promoted in this battle. The rest would then be arranged new commanders and then assigned to some other generals.

Great General Wei already had a lot of soldiers due to the prolonged war with Zhang Xu Kingdom at the border.

But Long Qian Xing was only recently promoted to be a general.

Thus, it was estimated that some soldiers would eventually be assigned to Long Qian Xing once everything settled down. 

"It's temporary," Nan Hua said without any emotion on her face.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows but didn't refute it. Even if Emperor Yang Zhou gave Nan Hua the title of general in this reward ceremony, it was impossible for him to arrange a lot of soldiers under Nan Hua.

Just the soldiers under Nan Hua alone were already quite a lot.
