Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2061  The Most Miserable Defeat

"Follow along," Nan Hua gave order to her soldiers. She looked at the generals who were assigned to guard Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City and her eyes narrowed slightly. One of them was General Deng, who used to protect Heavenly General Sang. The other one was General Dou, the son of Prime Minister Dou.

Among these two, the more dangerous one was General Deng who truly had some capabilities.

As for General Dou?

Eh, it was good enough if he didn't cause trouble.

"Brother Long, you go up!" Nan Hua yelled at the side. For this war, it would be better for Long Qian Xing to be the one to make the move. She would support him from the back instead. "Yes." Long Qian Xing looked at the stairs and the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom who tried to prevent them from climbing up. His eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his hand to let the archers in his side compete with the opponent.

In any case, it was not impossible to shoot the archers from Shi Long Kingdom's side from below. It was just that he would have to protect the archers and it was not so easy.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

…

The battle continued and Heavenly General Sang had already moved to the wall. Looking at the battle in front of him, Heavenly General Sang's face twisted a bit.

He could see that Shi Long Kingdom was at disadvantage in this battle. Reason?

It was naturally because the two generals were not able to do anything right and at this time, General Dou, was already fighting against Long Qian Xing. He wanted to run away but failed and then slashed.

Heavenly General Sang closed his eyes when he saw that miserable performance. Prime Minister Dou was already a dog licking prime minister who only knew how to cater to Emperor Shi Wang's preferences. In the chaotic battle in the imperial palace, that Prime Minister was already went hiding because he didn't want to die.

Now his son was sending his own life with his pitiful performance.

If he was not capable enough, why did he become a general in the first place?

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Maintain the formation!" Heavenly General Sang gave order with bitterness. He hoped that Shi Long Kingdom would be able to win, but everything seemed to be going against him today.

From the death of Emperor Shi Wang, the defeat of these stupid nobles, and then the battle of the princes, all of them seemed to be telling him that what he had been planning for years were crumbling away bit by bit.

General Ruan, who should be dead, appeared in Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City suddenly and wanted to take revenge on Crown Prince Zhu. He also succeeded. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Emperor Shi Wang, who should have been long forgotten by others because he only knew how to indulge and had no real power, was suddenly assassinated.

Then Empress Ye also went missing in the chaos. Heavenly General Sang had no time to investigate, but he had the faint feeling that these matters were connected one after another.

Now…

Bang!

Looking at the soldiers of Fei Yang Kingdom pouring into the city, Heavenly General Sang's face was ugly. With his physical strength and age, Heavenly General Sang knew very well that it was impossible for him to run. Where can he run?

He looked at Great General Long, who came towards him and then spat out, "You won, Great General Long. I underestimated you."

"You underestimated the people under you and also the others around you," Great General Long, Long Ao Ming, replied calmly. He could see that the chaos in Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City seemed to be fueled by more than one matter.

"Heh." Heavenly General Sang chuckled. "You're the victor. What do you want from me?"

"The scroll," Long Ao Ming replied calmly.

Heavenly General Sang's eyes flashed. With the incompetence of Emperor Shi Wang, it was easy to guess that the scroll was not in the hands of the Imperial Family. It was handed to him decades ago for him to keep safe.

"I'm not going to tell you…"

Stab!

A sword went through Heavenly General Sang's body. Heavenly General Sang's eyes widened and he looked at General Dong beside him with disbelief.

"You…"

"I know where the scroll is, Great General Long." General Dong gave a flattering smile and then pulled out his sword as if he had not just killed the person he was ordered to protect. "I can give it to you as long as you keep me alive."

Long Ao Ming looked at Heavenly General Sang's appearance of disbelief. Perhaps, this Heavenly General Sang would have never imagined that General Dong, who had a dog licking appearance, was actually such a ruthless person. This kind of person only cared for his own benefit and would not care about anything else. "Ok." Long Ao Ming nodded.

General Dong smiled brightly and then pulled his sword back.

Heavenly General Sang gritted his teeth and looked at General Dong hatefully. When the two generals were arranged to protect him who was getting older, Heavenly General Sang knew that one of them was truly arranged to protect him while the other one was to watch him. After some observation, he trusted this dog licking general more.

Because he felt that General Dong had no power to go against him.

Oh how wrong he is…

Heavenly General Sang was full of regret and hate as he breathed his last, couldn't believe that he made such a fatal mistake and allowed such a person to stay by his side. The proud and arrogant Heavenly General Sang died under the sword of his own trusted attendant.

…

The war against Shi Long Kingdom could be concluded as the other Imperial Family members were captured. Some of them had died in their own civil war, but Long Qian Xing didn't seem to care about it in the slightest bit.

The historian who was following silently recorded this event.

13th year of Emperor Yang Zhou's Reign, 8th Year after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration, and 3rd Year of total war state, in the beginning of Spring, Shi Long Kingdom is conquered by Fei Yang Kingdom.

This is the end of Volume 19.

Finally Shi Long Kingdom’s part is over. Luo Qing Wei’s part will be concluded in the next volume along with various other matters. Thank you for reading until this far! \(^v^)/
