Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

1114 Poisonous Plants

Unfortunately, Nan Luo didn’t know that, so he wouldn’t try to challenge Feng Ao Kuai in a spar.

He would never challenge Feng Ao Kuai in Go.

That was asking for a beating.

“If you really want to become a general, the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future might be the stage you’re waiting for.” Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his chin. “If you’re lucky enough, you’ll be able to be promoted to be 4,000 men commander. But if you’re not that good enough, you’ll still be able to get to be 3,000 men commander.”

“I’ll do my best.” Nan Luo nodded his head firmly.

But then Nan Luo paused.

“Why is it not the battle between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom? I thought that Grandfather said that the first battle is more likely to be a battle between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom.”

Feng Ao Kuai passed a glance at Nan Luo and shook his head. “That’s because you’re recently promoted. Should the war happen anytime soon, do you think that they’ll be rewarding you with another promotion?”

Nan Luo was stunned.

…..

Right….

Even if he earned a lot of merit, it was impossible for him to be promoted again right away since he was only promoted a few weeks ago. The thought that the merit would only accumulate for the next time made him a bit frustrated.

But on another thought, if he could defy the usual convention, wouldn’t they make an exception for him?

At that thought, Nan Luo’s eyes were burning with fire.

He would not lose!

Beside them, Nan Hua was leisurely riding her horse and listened to Feng Ao Kuai’s analysis. If she had to say, this cousin of hers had grown much sharper because his conclusion was not that any different from her.

But she also knew that the Emperor’s decision would come soon.

After she had changed the trajectory of some things, the way war was going might change a bit. But there were also some things that would remain unchanged and continued to follow the way it was supposed to be.

There was butterfly effect.

But she was not so influential that she could completely change the course of the entire history.

“Stop.”

Nan Hua suddenly looked at the ground before them. Her sharp nose sensed that there was something wrong.

“What is it, Nan?”

Tep!

Jumping down the horse, Nan Hua walked forward and crouched before the rocks. She pushed it aside to reveal a large number of flowers behind it. It looked so beautiful and enchanting, but the faint smell they gave told Nan Hua that they were all poisonous flowers.

The dirt had sign of being moved.

Her eyes narrowed.

“Is there anything wrong?” Feng Ao Kuai looked at the row of beautiful flowers and his eyes narrowed. They hadn’t seen anything like that when they first came to this area a few weeks prior.

“These are all poisonous plants. If people without immunity were to inhale them for a long period of time, they’ll experience dizziness and fatigue.” Nan Hua glanced at Feng Ao Kuai. “Are there any other routes?”

“Tsk, as expected of Zhang Xu Kingdom. They even left behind something dangerous like this.” Nan Luo scoffed. His impression of Zhang Xu Kingdom has always been all time low. It couldn’t be helped that he really felt that Zhang Xu Kingdom were only people who knew how to use dirty tricks.

Whenever they were facing Zhang Xu Kingdom, they had to be prepared for some unexpected and unconventional means.

“Yes, there’s another route, but it’ll take a bit longer. Do you think there are more of these plants ahead?” Feng Ao Kuai asked. He waved his hand to call Wei Mu Ya to the front since she was also one of the young commanders in charge of leading this group this time.

When they made the decision, they had to inform her and asked for her opinion.

“Yes.”

Nan Hua was the most sensitive towards plants due to her intense training with Traveling Doctor Liu. Not to mention, she used to live in the wilderness for the sake of survival back then because of some of her missions. Her keener senses told her that if they were to go forward, they would see more of these.

She, her brother, and her cousin would be fine because of their immunity.

However, the other soldiers might not fare that well. Not everyone was like them who had poison immunity training ever since they were young.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Mu Ya came forward.

When she saw that they stopped, she thought that there was an attack or something, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Feng Ao Kuai explained the situation patiently.

Wei Mu Ya’s eyes flashed with coldness. “Let me call my sister to check first. She’s also not that bad in this kind of thing.”

“Yes, please.”

It didn’t take long for Wei Mu Qing to came. She had to properly prepare a veil and also a hood to cover herself due to her older sister’s insistence. In Wei Mu Ya’s opinion, her younger sister had to be pampered and protected to the fullest.

She didn’t want to let the soldiers looked at her sister appearance.

Not in the slightest bit.

“Ya Jie.” Wei Mu Qing looked at Wei Mu Ya helplessly. Her head was covered in a hood, leaving only a part of her face that could be seen.

“They said that there are a lot of poisonous plants here. Do you know those flowers?” Wei Mu Ya had failed in her identification herbs lesson by their father back then, so she was a bit embarrassed. Not to mention, they were in Zhang Xu Kingdom’s former territory.

The herbs that grew here were slightly different from the herbs that grew in most Fei Yang Kingdom’s area due to the difference in climate.

“Let me take a look.”
