Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower - #1395 - 1395 Planning for the Lin Family



Trust.

It was a word that Nan Hua couldn’t truly adopt into her life. She was still trying, bit by bit, so that she could trust someone again. But at the same time, she knew that the process itself would take a long time.

What was broken couldn’t be fully recovered to be the same as it used to be.

The scars will be left.

“I have the recipe that can suppress these Gu. It belongs to my Master, but he taught me so that I can deal in case I meet with people from Lin Family or other masters when I’m visiting Zhang Xu Kingdom,” Nan Hua added.

“What do you need. I’ll prepare it for you.”

“I’ll hand you the list.”

“Good.” Long Qian Xing nodded. “The herbs that you asked before has also been prepared. It’s in the basket, but I’m not sure what you’re going to do with it.”

“I’ll make the medicine myself.” Nan Hua glanced at the basket. She had sensed that there were herbs there, but she didn’t know that it was for her. That was why she only prepared the bedding and fell asleep to recover.

Truthfully, she no longer needed the herbs to recover, but it could help her to reach her previous condition faster.

“I’m thinking of using this village as the location to meet with Strategist Mang’s soldiers. The villagers would be hidden first to avoid unnecessary casualties. The location of this valley was really good to trap them.” Long Qian Xing smirked.

Nan Hua looked at the map Long Qian Xing draw while writing a few herbs and nodded. She agreed with Long Qian Xing’s approach.

This valley where the village located was somewhat below the areas around it. If Long Qian Xing placed his soldiers strategically and hid them before Strategist Mang came, he could effectively deal with them and trapped the soldiers inside.

That way, they could deal with Strategist Mang faster.

“That will be a good idea. How about if you add…”

“I think that…”

The two of them discussed the matter of the soldiers’ placement and the commanders while Nan Hua made medicine for herself and drank it. As Nan Hua was not familiar with Long Qian Xing’s soldiers, he introduced them one by one while telling his plan about them.

It was uncommon for Long Qian Xing to share his strategy to others. Many times, he only told parts to some of his commanders and the other only knew the other parts. When they cooperated together, they only found out that Long Qian Xing’s plan was actually quite extensive.

“How do you plan on making the villagers follow your plan?” Nan Hua asked slowly.

“I’ll have a good talk with them in the morning.” Long Qian Xing looked outside and shook his head. It was already evening and soon the sun would go down in the horizon. It would not be appropriate for him to pay a visit to the village at this time.

Nan Hua nodded and looked away from the map in front of her.

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. “Would you like to add something else? I never expected that you will know so much about it.”

“I’m used to it.” Nan Hua was calm about it.

“Lin Sun might be able to finish the poison and try to pass it over, but I guess as long as we can stop him from handing the bottle over, it should be fine.” Long Qian Xing knew that his spy was still in Lin Family. But he was not entirely sure whether it was possible to obtain the information of when Lin Sun was planning to hand over his research result.

“The Lin Family would not want to be controlled. If not because Zhang Xu Kingdom is under the siege of other kingdoms and in dire crisis from the earthquake and the after effect, they would not agree with Lin Family’s terms.”

Nan Hua knew that the Lin Family people were greedy and would not want to hand over their secret to outsiders. This was one of the reasons why Lin Family has been slowly pressured by the previous emperor many years ago.

If not because of that, there was no way that they would be so desperate that they sent someone to kidnap the princess.

They wanted to make more terms with the Emperor.

But their plan backfired.

Since Nan Hua was not in Zhang Xu Kingdom, she didn’t know the details of the event that happened afterwards. She only managed to gain some of the information from her people whom she placed in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

“True enough.” Long Qian Xing chuckled. “If not because of that, Lin Family would not have been a thorn in the eyes of the Emperor in Zhang Xu Kingdom.”

“Are you planning on dealing with them?”

“I do have plan to deal with the Lin Family but not now.” Long Qian Xing didn’t want to take the risk and enter the Lin Family Mountain for the time being. He was not that familiar with the poisons and there were not many of his men who had high poison immunity.

“For the time being, I’ll just try to trap them there and try to prevent them from communicating with Prime Minister Lei. I don’t believe that they could last long without food.” Long Qian Xing shrugged.

Nan Hua nodded.

“That had to be done by General Yu, though. My assignment in the north area will be over soon.” Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin.

For some reason, he had received the letter that stated about his next assignment. He would not be able to stay at the north for a long period of time, so he would have to hand it over to Yu Jin for the rest of the matter related to Lin Family.

At most, he could only leave a small army under his command to stay here to watch over the development and delivered the pieces of news in time.

Nan Hua nodded. “Great General Wei?”

“Yes.” Long Qian Xing chuckled. “I’m going to meet with my old friend there.”

“I see.”
