Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2385: Going to the Wei Family



Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua didn't talk for long.

Even though the two of them wanted to know more about what the <World consciousness> might ask them to do, but with such vague warning, there was nothing that they could really do.

They only know that something might happen soon.

Because of that, they had to increase their vigilance and pay attention to their surroundings.

But aside from that... it's nothing.

The <World consciousness> had told them to live their lives as normal and when it happened in front of them, they would know.

This might be more of a reminder.

But no matter what, they had to be prepared.

Nan Hua went back to play with Nan Luo while Long Qian Xing headed back to do his work. The two of them didn't say anything more about this, but they had the feeling that something big will happen some time in the future.

The relaxation brought by the fact that Fei Yang Kingdom was about to conquer the entire land was instantly gone.

They knew...

This is not the end.

After everything was prepped, Nan Hua and Nan Luo left with Wei Mu Bai. It would take a few days for the them to reach Wei Family's territory, so the siblings stayed in a carriage to talk with each other.

Nan Luo looked at the board in front of him with a pained expression. "Do we really have to play go on the way?"

"Why not?" Nan Hua replied back calmly. "It's a good way to exercise your mind."

More like, a way to torture one's mind.

Nan Luo complained internally as he looked at the board in front of him. It only took a few moves but he was already cornered by Nan Hua and every path seemed to be completely sealed. There was no way for him to win this game.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No matter how many times Nan Luo played with Nan Hua, he felt that he could never win.

The same was the game with Feng Ao Kuai.

"How did you and Ao Kuai always managed to win all the games?" Nan Luo had no other choice but to make a move. Otherwise, they would stay in this state all the time without any chance to go forward.

"We simply made the calculation of our opponent's move," Nan Hua replied. "By predicting what your next move would be, we'll make countermeasure in advance, several steps ahead."

Nan Luo blinked his eyes. "Isn't that like... a lot of possibilities?"

"It is," Nan Hua replied softly and pushed another pion in front of her forward. "But if you get used to it, it'll be as natural as breathing and your brain remains active for a long time." She had to think of various ways to win because she couldn't afford to lose in the past. Even until now, Nan Hua would still use her brain to think several steps ahead if possible when she was making a plan.

Otherwise, she would lose miserably.

"It's really hard." Nan Luo sighed.

"When you make your plan against your enemies, did you not anticipate their next moves?" Nan Hua asked again.

"I did," Nan Luo replied. "But it's not so thorough. At least, I have prepared more than one tactic to cope up in case the opponent change their formation or tactics."

He might not be the best commander out there, but Nan Luo tried his best to be thorough. This was because he wanted to make sure that he could win the war with the least amount of resources possible and at the least amount of time.

A long battle is mentally and physically exhausting.

Nan Luo knew very well that it would not be easy for him to do it, but he would rather be prepared than nothing at all.

Tak.

"Then you've done well." Nan Hua looked at the board in front of her and said, "You lose."

Nan Luo sighed and shrugged. He didn't really have any hope of winning a game against Nan Hua, but he still tried. Because fighting against Nan Hua, on this board, allowed him to continue thinking and exercise his mind.

It just he didn't understand how Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai were so similar in this regards.

The two of them often looked more like siblings than him and Feng Ao Si to these two people. Are the IQ between siblings always so different?

Nan Luo lamented in his heart.

"Are you thinking about something inappropriate?" Nan Hua suddenly asked.

"Ah? No! I'm not!" Nan Luo quickly refuted. He scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment as he couldn't tell Nan Hua that he was thinking about how she and Feng Ao Kuai looked more like siblings than him.

Nan Hua shook her head. "You might be promoted to a general soon with more achievements you raked in. At that time, you will realize that commanding such a great number of soldiers is very different from being a 5000 men commander."

"I know." Nan Luo calmed down and looked at Nan Hua solemnly. "But I'll not give up. I'll achieve my dream and become a great general like Grandpa!"

Nan Hua smiled faintly. "Then work hard, Luo. I know you can do it."

"Hehe~."

<Long Qian Xing's side>

As Nan Hua left, Long Qian Xing was stuck with his work here. For the next few days, his men clearly understood that without his wife, Long Qian Xing had become much more ruthless to his subordinates.

They had to work all day long to finish the requirement that Long Qian Xing set for them.

It was really tiring.

But there was nothing that they could do but to follow Long Qian Xing's arrangement.

Today, it was not an exception.

Aside from the fact that Yu Jin came back bringing the news of victory.

"You're fast," Long Qian Xing commented when he saw Yu Jin coming in.

"Hey, they're pretty weak." Yu Jin snorted. "Just huddling up and sending their weak soldiers forward and then cowardly give up."
