Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

'Not being able to talk about those things with the people in this world… it's really annoying.'

Fang Sheng Lin felt that if he had to choose, he really wanted to go back to his previous world instead of staying here. Even though he was able to fight a lot for a period of time, most of the other times were spent either on recuperating or training alone.

It was really boring.

As a person who liked excitement, Fang Sheng Lin felt that it would be better for him to stay on the frontline at all times.

Back then, he also liked to joke around with his friends.

And they would try to beat him up.

But here…

He still felt as if he's an outsider who didn't belong to this world in the slightest bit. And this made Fang Sheng Lin felt really lonely.

Perhaps, he should try to integrate to this world more.

But at the same time, Fang Sheng Lin just wanted to take his weapon and fought against those people. Because only when he was fighting would he feel that he's alive.

'Forget it. Let's sleep and when I have recovered, I'll go back and fight again.'

Fang Sheng Lin thought to himself and closed his eyes.

When he was healthy again, he would vent his feeling on his enemies through beating them all up with all of his strength. This is his greatest respect towards his enemies.

Even if this respect meant that he would beat them all up until they doubted life.

…

After talking and having enough fun, Song Yun Xiang went back to arrange work. No matter what, he's still the strategist in the army and had a lot of work. There was no way he could stay with Fang Sheng Lin all the time to have fun.

Before walking for long, Song Yun Xiang saw General Yang coming to see him.

"General Yang," Song Yun Xiang greeted and stood up.

He didn't have any hand, so he couldn't cup his fist to show his respect. The only thing he could do was to bow down slightly.

"I have already asked the former scouts to be gathered," General Yang said and then added, "But many of them couldn't come."

"Reasons?"

"They have died."

Song Yun Xiang was silent when he heard that and sighed deeply. Just when he wanted to interrogate these scouts, they have to be killed. He could guess that some of the scouts should have hidden important information about the northern tribe.

But they were killed to shut their mouth.

It was really troublesome.

"It's my negligence." General Yang felt regretful and angry when he heard the report from his men too. He could guess that there were spies among his soldiers and these people made a move when they heard that he wanted to gather the scouts to ask more questions.

It seemed that they were afraid that these scouts knew something.

Or perhaps, some of them had been bought by them but they silenced them so that they could keep the matter a secret.

Because only dead people could keep secrets better.

This was something that everyone knew very well.

"Let's start from the remaining scouts." Song Yun Xiang sighed. There was nothing else that he could do but to make do with it.

"Yes."

"I will have someone following me when I ask questions," Song Yun Xiang added.

"You can make the arrangement, Strategist Song." General Yang didn't have any question about Song Yun Xiang's work.

So far, all Song Yun Xiang's work was really good and nothing could be picked from it. There was no way General Yang would be willing to make trouble and started questioning Song Yun Xiang.

As for the people whom Song Yun Xiang used…

General Yang had no comment either.

He could see that Song Yun Xiang had his own reasons when he picked these people to work for him.

So far, the people he picked were indeed suitable for the work, so General Yang trusted Song Yun Xiang.

Song Yun Xiang nodded and then asked, "How's the training situation in General Gao's place?"

There were soldiers who were asked to train at the north border. Many soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was not used to the cold temperature in this area, so it was hard for them to adapt to the changes. Before the war started, they have already started various training to make sure they could fight to their fullest when the war truly started.

Most of them were in General Gao's areas because there were more open areas there.

The main reason was also because General Gao lacked people after the other general who used to defend the border with him choose to side with Fan Yi Kingdom until the very end.

The ending was tragic.

"General Gao sent a letter saying that the training went well. Even though the need for food increased, most soldiers are able to survive well," General Yang replied.

The need for food…

Hearing this, Song Yun Xiang thought for a moment.

Emperor Yang Zhou had already increased food production even before the war started. No, to be exact, the policy had already started far before Emperor Yang Zhou came to the throne.

His grandfather had already started to prepare many things for the sake of the people there.

It was also because of this that Fei Yang Kingdom was able to launch several fronts war. The resources were enough to support their war. Though, the manpower was indeed somewhat lacking if it was not for them absorbing the soldiers from the fallen kingdoms along the way.

But Fei Yang Kingdom has been going on a war for a long time.

There was no way their food reserve would not suffer a hit from such a long war. They would need to replenish it one way or another.

When thinking about this, Song Yun Xiang's expression turned solemn and he asked, "Has the north areas expand food production?"
