Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1989  Threats

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After smashing a few more things, Emperor Shi Wang finally calmed down and no longer smashed more things. However, it was clear by his expression that whoever dared to mention about this matter would be earning another vent. To be honest, Emperor Shi Wang didn't really care about the matter at the border. The main reason why he cared for it now was because these officials would never let him go if he left when the kingdom was in this state of crisis. They would rather pester him all day long rather than letting him have fun.

For Emperor Shi Wang whose interest was touched, he was definitely furious. Thus, he could only vent his anger by smashing things around him. Anyway, as the Emperor, he didn't have to pay back for these things he had smashed and no one would dare to tell him that he was not allowed to do this. "Y… Your Majesty, Heavenly General Sang has arrived."

When Emperor Shi Wang finally calmed down and sat down on his chair, the official dared to speak about this matter. "Let him enter." Emperor Shi Wang could only say this. Heavenly General Sang entered the court slowly and looked at the Emperor with the same indifference face. He didn't seem to care that much that Emperor Shi Wang had just thrown his temper around not long ago and instead said, "Your Majesty, this general had arrived."

"Yes." Emperor Shi Wang looked at Heavenly General Sang and frowned.

In any case, Heavenly General Sang was indeed already very old. For him to travel back and forth to the frontline and followed the soldiers during this period of time, it wouldn't have been easy. Even though Emperor Shi Wang wanted to be angry, he also didn't want to lash out his anger on Heavenly General Sang. "Fei Yang Kingdom had managed to gain the advantage at the west and south. Help me deal with it." Emperor Shi Wang was blunt due to his irritation. He no longer cared whether it was appropriate or not. "Yes, Your Majesty." Heavenly General Sang was calm and then looked at the two prime ministers who stood nearest to Emperor Shi Wang. "I hope the two prime ministers will help me to arrange the counterattack."

"It's only natural for me to help," Prime Minister Zhi quickly replied.

His eyes were looking at Heavenly General Sang warily. He knew very well that Heavenly General Sang is a very smart and crafty person. It wouldn't do good for others to underestimate him.

Yet at the same time, Prime Minister Zhi knew very well that it wouldn't be easy for other people to deal with Heavenly General Sang.

Because Heavenly General Sang knew what would most people think about him and would be able to deal with them well. "Yes, it's only natural, Heavenly General Sang," Prime Minister Dou replied. His tone was closer to flattering, quite similar to General Dong. Hearing this tone, General Dong who was standing behind Heavenly General Sang, glared at Prime Minister Dou. He didn't want his position as someone close to Heavenly General Sang to be taken by others. Prime Minister Dou felt the chills and quickly moved his eyes away. The fact that General Dong often flattered HeavenlY General Sang was not a secret. That general had such a thick face that he didn't care even if others were to know about this matter. Some people had scolded him to be shameless, but General Dong acted as if he had never heard those words. He still kept on acting in the way he wanted to be and no one dared to stop him. As one said, as long as one was shameless, they were invincible.

*cough*

"I will promote a few new temporary generals," Heavenly General Sang said and swept his gaze on the officials at the side. "And this time, I will pick capable ones."

His words caused the already tense atmosphere to be even tenser. One felt as if there was a storm about to break out in the hall. His words were the same as saying that the generals they recommended before were trashes. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Prime Minister Zhi coughed before a fight could break out. The relationship between Heavenly General Sang and these few nobles were not very good. These people didn't like Heavenly General Sang and would often make trouble for him. Back then, Heavenly General Sang's position was not as high as now.

Even if he was important, but it was not like the entire Shi Long Kingdom would depend on him. But now, all other heavenly generals have been killed and there was no replacement so far. Those powerful generals were being killed one by one in the battle against Fei Yang Kingdom.

Even if they could manage to fend Fei Yang Kingdom off, who could say that this would be the end?

Fei Yang Kingdom would not admit defeat so easily. "We'll give the suggestion and His Majesty will be the one to pick the new generals in the end. His words are definitely the most suitable," Prime Minister Zhi said, quickly pulling Emperor Shi Wang to the front. Emperor Shi Wang?

The others looked at Prime Minister Zhi and snorted.

Who didn't know that Emperor Shi Wang was not a capable emperor at all. "As an old man, I would rather be with the few people whom I could trust and see as capable." Heavenly General Sang chuckled. "If I can't, I would rather stay here and relax. I'm sure the princes have missed my teaching."

It's a threat!

A blatant threat at that.

The officials were all looking at Heavenly General Sang as if they wanted to devour him alive, but Heavenly General Sang remained calm. Emperor Shi Wang rubbed at his forehead, feeling rather helpless. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want to stay at the court. The contradiction between the officials, generals, and between themselves were too strong. Staying here would only make his lifespan shortened.
