Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1751  Journey to the South (2)

Long Qian Xing looked at his father's back for a moment before moving his eyes away. If he had to admit, he missed his parents in his previous life too. They were the parents who had raised him ever since he was young.

It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings at all.

But after living in this world for more than a decade, he had already accepted this identity and also the people around him. No matter what, he is still this body's father which meant that he's his father.

He has never been a good father, though. Aside from teaching his son how to fight on the battlefield and so on, he didn't really teach much to Long Qian Xing.

"With him here, we can be rest assured," Long Qian Xing said calmly.

He had high confidence in his own father. It was more because he had seen his father's capabilities with his own eyes when he was young. With the capabilities of Great General Long, it would be difficult for the enemies to break through his defense.

Bold and powerful.

That was his impression of his father's style. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

"Yes." Nan Hua nodded.

"Let's depart."

The soldiers started to move to the south, following the path that had been built over the past few years. Ever since Emperor Yang Zhou conquered the Central Area, he has been busy building various roads to help the army moved quicker.

This was one of the few projects that was done after conquering other kingdoms.

While the road in the north west area was still relatively bare and hadn't been done, the road in the central kingdom was much better. With this, they could travel much faster to the south.

"I have to say that even if I don't agree with some of his action, he's still a great man." Long Qian Xing sighed as the horse traveled in a relatively fast pace.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "There are many wise people no matter what era it is, but there's no one who's perfect. Besides, it's impossible to be a person who's liked by everyone."

Long Qian Xing laughed.

Indeed, there were many wise people, but they all have different ways and also various methods on doing things. It was impossible to become a person who was liked by everyone. After all, people are not money who are normally liked by almost everyone in the world.

People who didn't know what money is might not like it, but those who know it will usually like it.

"The Central Area is already relatively stable. Who would have thought that only three years have passed since this area belong to Fei Yang Kingdom?" Long Qian Xing shook his head as he looked at the farmer at the side.

When they came to the north back then, they encountered farmer who came because of the bandits in this area. They were suffering and couldn't even eat enough.

But after the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was used to help stabilizing this place along with their own conquest, there was no longer any similar report. The food production was still mostly used for the army, but the people were living happily.

Because they knew that even if the amount of food that they could get for themselves is reduced, it was traded for their safety and happiness.

In this situation, no one was unwilling.

Passing the area, what greeted them was the smile of the farmer and the laughter of the children as they played on the field.

It was very lively and peaceful.

Nan Hua looked at the farmer on the side, somewhat at loss and then nodded faintly. She had to admit that Long Qian Xing was correct. Even if the conquest to conquer other kingdoms were also the ambition of the people at above, the thoughts of the people below were also important.

Because they were the one who got impacted the most by the decision made by the Emperor and other ministers.

If the ministers didn't care for them, they would suffer greatly.

And no one would be happy.

There were not many political views in this era yet because it was not very developed. But it didn't mean that there was nothing that they thought at all. In the limited way that was presented, they were already doing the best of what they could.

It was enough.

They had to maintain it and also strive to become better in the future because there would be more challenges as the other kingdoms were slowly being conquered later.

"It's nice," Nan Hua said in a low voice.

"Yes, it is indeed very nice." Long Qian Xing smiled. "In the past, I become a soldier mostly because my family members are soldiers and they wished for me to follow in the same path. My talent for martial arts are also very high, so I followed their advices in the end. But later on, I truly wanted to become a soldier and protected the people I cared for."

Be it in this world or his previous world, his beginning was not very glorious. In his previous world, he was practically tossed by his family members to enter the military and suffered a lot. After a period of rebellion by him, he eventually returned to the military and followed their advices.

In this world, he was tossed to the barracks by his father to train him to become a strong man and not one who could be used by others at will. It could be said that he was not entirely willing to become a soldier in the first place.

But after receiving the memory of his past life, he began to think about many things.

There were a lot of restriction and also things that he could never imagine before. Children grew up much faster here and he himself had been subjected to meet those b*stards who didn't hesitate to use children to achieve their goal.
