Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Though, Emperor Yang Zhou also knew that Old Master Nan was unwilling to be involved in the battle of power and so on.

Old Master Nan was by no means young anymore.

He had aged and his bodily function had deteriorate.

Since he was no longer as good as when he was young, Old Master Nan would rather retire from the power struggle. He just wanted to have a peaceful life now.

It was not easy.

One who had already seen what power could allow them to do, could be drown in the pleasure of power. They would be unwilling to let it go.

Even Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that he wouldn't want to let go of the throne so easily. But Old Master Nan leave it his grandchildren.

It would be really nice to have descendants whom Emperor Yang Zhou could truly trust like Old Master Nan. However, that might be hard considering how cold the Imperial Family has always been.

"How about the rest?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked. "There are three people who have reached 5000 men commanders," Prime Minister Lan replied, somewhat amazed by how good Old Master Nan's eyes were. There were only a total of 12 names on this list and three of them have reached 5000 men commanders within a short few years. Even though their starting points when Old Master Nan saw them were either a 500 men commanders or even 1000 men commanders, but it was still a great improvement. Prime Minister Lan had to say that Old Master Nan's eyes were really good.

Though, 6 people have died from this list and there were still three more people. "Three?" Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes flickered and he nodded.

If these three people's performance was good, it was not impossible for them to be promoted to be general in the next few years. However, he would not promote them to be a general so easily.

Because becoming a general was of great significance in Fei Yang Kingdom. They needed powerful general, so Emperor Yang Zhou would not arbitrarily handed the position over to anyone. "Yes, Your Majesty. One of them come from the Yue Family in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, one of them come from Liao Family in Heng Xing City, and the last one is a commoner," Prime Minister Lan relied.

After that, he told Emperor Yang Zhou about their achievement on the battlefield. It was definitely not as dazzling as Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua who managed to fight on the frontline and caused heavy loss for their enemies. But they were still remarkable and had contributed a lot for Fei Yang Kingdom over the years. Hearing their deeds, even Emperor Yang Zhou had to say that they were quite remarkable. "Pay more attention to them. If they're suitable, promote them to become a general before the war started. If not, let them practice a few more years," Emperor Yang Zhou gave his instruction. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, one of them had retired due to injury," Prime Minister Lan said helplessly. The man tried to fight and nearly overturned but managed to keep his life. Unfortunately, he couldn't become a soldier anymore after his injury, so he retired.

This kind of case was actually quite common.

And it was already a blessing for these soldiers to keep their lives and return to their families. Many other people were buried on the frontline, never to return again in their entire life. "Yes." Emperor Yang Zhou nodded but didn't say anything more. As the one who gave the order, he knew very well that his every action would affect the lives of millions of people all over Fei Yang Kingdom. He could only do his best to make sure that he didn't do anything wrong.*

"The other one is 4000 men commander and the last one is still 2000 men commander," Prime Minister Lan replied. The one who became 4000 men commander was quite good but a bit careful, so his career improvement was slower. The one who was still 2000 men commander was not very capable.

Emperor Yang Zhou listened and then made arrangement. It seemed that they would be busy again soon. But thinking of his dream, Emperor Yang Zhou took a deep breath. It was not time for him to relax. The two mother and son talked a few more words before Feng Ao Si went to find Nan Hua. Naturally, he didn't enter her courtyard and instead informed her maidservants to let them meet at the nearby pavilion. 08:35

He still has a lot to do. …

The days passed quietly and as the marriage preparation was under the full swing, Feng Ao Si finally arrived in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Looking at the familiar city, Feng Ao Si went to his residence first. Sheng Qi Rou was happy to see him and naturally hugged him. The two of them had a reunion and then Feng Ao Si headed to Nan Family Residence to find his mother and Nan Hua. "You're finally back." Nan Si Qiao looked at Feng Ao Si, who was much more taller and bigger compared to her and smiled faintly. She felt that Feng Ao Si has truly grown up now and this made her happy. He was also very healthy and strong, which made her relieved.

After all, she was worried that her children would come back while they were being injured and all. At that time, it would only make things more complicated. Feng Ao Si smiled back. "Mom, I'm back."

"Have you seen Qi Rou?" Nan Si Qiao asked.

"I have." Feng Ao Si nodded vigorously.

Nan Si Qiao nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Now that you're here, you can also pay see Hua'er. It has been a while since you have seen her."

Feng Ao Si thought about his cousin and nodded. He hadn't seen Nan Hua in a long time, so it was time for him to pay a visit to Nan Hua. The two mother and son talked a few more words before Feng Ao Si went to find Nan Hua. Naturally, he didn't enter her courtyard and instead informed her maidservants to let them meet at the nearby pavilion. They were no longer children, so some distance would be necessary.

the entire population of Fei Yang Kingdom are only a few millions and added a few more millions after their expansion. Don’t say that it’s too few. In the past, this number is actually quite a lot. Moreover, the number of soldiers under generals are usually in hundred thousands until several hundred thousands.

It’s a large number of people to lead without modern equipment.
