Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2227: Conversation with Emperor Yang Zhou (2)



"Are you sure it's a good idea to dismiss everyone?" Long Qian Xing asked with arched eyebrows. With his martial arts, he could sense that there was no one around them within a certain radius.

At the same time, Long Qian Xing marveled that Emperor Yang Zhou truly had controlled the entire court into his people.

Just from one gesture, Emperor Yang Zhou could get the people to listen to him.

This meant that they all truly regarded Emperor Yang Zhou as their master and thus listened to his every words.

This thing was not easy.

For Emperor Yang Zhou whose power used to be in the hands of others, he could only do his best to do this slowly. Now, the power was already in his grasp.

"I know I can trust you," Emperor Yang Zhou replied. "Besides, don't you want to talk more casually?"

"You know me well, Your Highness." Long Qian Xing smirked.

Emperor Yang Zhou rolled his eyes. Having known Long Qian Xing for a long period of time, he was naturally aware that Long Qian Xing was not very fond of the etiquette and rules. This was one of the reasons why Long Qian Xing would rather spend his time with his soldiers rather than in the court.

When he was around his soldiers, he didn't have to pay too much attention to etiquette but when he was in the Imperial Court, he had to pay close attention to it.

"The war will start in a few days," Emperor Yang Zhou said slowly. "It's going to be a war against Fan Yi Kingdom. Having fought them for a bit, do you have any ideas that might help us out?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "I'm sure that Great General Wei know better than me. He had spent more time dealing with Fan Yi Kingdom."

"Great General Wei can make the adjustment with the strategy as he sees fit," Emperor Yang Zhou replied calmly. "What I need to do is to make the general arrangement and for this, I need people who are familiar with them."

And Long Qian Xing was definitely a good candidate.

For one, Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that he could trust Long Qian Xing. Secondly, Long Qian Xing was indeed very capable and the fact that he had fought against Fan Yi Kingdom in the past and remained wining or drawing had also proven it.

Long Qian Xing heard this and nodded. "I don't think you want me to do it right now?"

"We can start now. And it's not like I can ask your wife to come to the court without letting her use her other identity," Emperor Yang Zhou replied.

Nan Hua is General Jun.

This was something that Emperor Yang Zhou knew but at the same time, he also knew that it was impossible for Nan Hua to show herself as General Jun again. Because if she were to show the similar face in two different people...

It was estimated that many people would realize her real identity.

In the past, Nan Hua had to wear veil because of her status as the young miss of the Nan Family.

Now that she had married, she would no longer do so in various banquets and so on. The number of people who knew Nan Hua's real face will grow exponentially.

"I don't have much experience, but I can offer some suggestions," Nan Hua said slowly. Emperor Yang Zhou smiled. "It's enough."

Long Qian Xing sighed and nodded.

With that, their morning activity was to help Emperor Yang Zhou with some suggestion for the next war against Fan Yi Kingdom.

...

After more than an incense stick of time, Emperor Yang Zhou was done with his notes and asked Prime Minister Lan to make a copy of it and handed it to Prime Minister Xian. He wanted their battle plan to be modified in accordance to these suggestions.

"Her Highness Empress Dowager Yan would like to meet with your wife," Emperor Yang Zhou said. "I have notified her that Young Miss Nan is here, so let her stay in the waiting room."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows slightly.

He thought about Yan Jin Nian and nodded. "I understand."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nan Hua also knew that Yan Jin Nian wanted to say good bye to her. Because after this, Yan Jin Nian would not stay in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City anymore.

"Do you want to see her?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked.

"No."

The answer was short, concise, and direct.

Seeing him answering promptly, Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and didn't pester Long Qian Xing.

Nan Hua excused herself to see Yan Jin Nian while these two were still here.

"It's hard to believe that such a short stature can become a general on the battlefield," Emperor Yang Zhou said.

Long Qian Xing smiled. "You can't judge people from their appearance, Your Majesty."

"True enough."

"Why did you let her come out first? Is there something you want to talk with me alone?" Long Qian Xing asked.

"Yes." Emperor Yang Zhou thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know that there are still some people from the Imperial Family of other kingdoms who are alive?"

When they conquered the other kingdoms, not all of the Imperial Family were exterminated. After all, there was no need for them to do that and keeping these people alive could also be used to show Fei Yang Kingdom's magnanimity to a certain degree.

This would enhance people's closeness to Fei Yang Kingdom.

The problem was that not all of them were those who were willing to stay silent and accepted their arrangement. Some of them were willing to live a lavish life until the rest of their lives.

But some others...

It was hard to say.

"Do you want me to deal with them?" Long Qian Xing asked in a low voice.

It was just about killing some troublemakers and for Long Qian Xing, it was not a difficult

matter.
