Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2062  The Aftermath

The battle with Shi Long Kingdom was finally over.

It was the longest battle Fei Yang Kingdom ever experienced because of their first failure in the beginning. Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, who had cleaned up the Imperial Palace and wondered whether he had a map for this place or something. "There are some people missing," Long Qian Xing said after his subordinate had finished sweeping the area. They would not kill all the Imperial Family members.

As for those who had died because of their own civil war?

Long Qian Xing didn't care about them and it was up to the others to deal with it. Nan Hua nodded. "They might have guessed that Shi Long Kingdom will lose and choose to leave."

To be honest, Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City should have not fallen so easily. But hearing about the chaos that happened about General Ruan's betrayal after the death of the Emperor… it could be said that the Imperial Palace was already in chaos and got even more chaotic. It was a miracle that Heavenly General Sang was able to gather people who were sane enough to go forward and deal with Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers. They lasted only for a short period of time, though. Apparently, General Ruan was inciting the soldiers who knew him not to follow Heavenly General Sang's command, so the war was easier for Fei Yang Kingdom's side. And that was not all.

"The nobles didn't seem to be so devastated," Long Qian Xing said lightly as he looked at the officials and others who gathered around. Some officials had died in the civil war, but many others were standing at the side and watched everything coldly. It could be said that these officials only cared about their own profit and didn't care too much about Shi Long Kingdom. But thinking about Emperor Shi Wang and his antics, Long Qian Xing was not very surprised. Emperor Shi Wang was not exactly a good emperor and there were many people who disliked this emperor.

They didn't dare to openly rebel and could only quietly serve this emperor while gathering their own power. The division in Shi Long Kingdom was extremely strong.

These nobles had their own power to a certain degree and they were naturally not very loyal to Emperor Shi Wang. Some of them also set their eyes on the other princes and wished they could gain power through these princes. Unfortunately, things were not so easy.

With the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, these nobles were forced forward by Heavenly General Sang. Now that Shi Long Kingdom had lost, many of them didn't have much nostalgia left.

It could be said that they would be able to integrate quickly with Fei Yang Kingdom with this mentality. "Yes." Nan Hua nodded. "Do you want to talk with them?"

"I'll let my father deal with it." Long Qian Xing shook his head in refusal. He didn't really like dealing with the officials and even after conquering another kingdom, he still had no intention to talk with them if possible. For him, it was good enough that they were able to finish the mission at last. But at the same time, Long Qian Xing also realized that these nobles seemed to hate Heavenly General Sang too.

In the recent wars against Fei Yang Kingdom, Heavenly General Sang had given order for them to send their own people to deal with Fei Yang Kingdom. Since the result was lose again and again….

It was not an exaggeration to say that many of the forces under these nobles were cut down.

But even with that, they still have a lot of power in their hands.

Not to mention, many of them were also wealthy due to the territory in their hands where they gained a lot of money and wealth. "I see."

Nan Hua nodded. She herself had no intention to talk with these officials. In her opinion, it would be better to let the people who were responsible for this matter to deal with it. Rather than being the one to step forward to do everything. A good leader was a person who knew how to lead and use their people and not to deal with everything on their own. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because there was a limit to a person's time and energy. It was impossible for Nan Hua to be the one to do everything and she had no intention to do so either. Her experience as the leader of Dark Moon Organization, albeit it was mostly only in name and most of the work was handed over to Si Mo Fan, had taught her many things. To deal with this matter in front of her, Nan Hua would not personally step forward. "These officials are cowering." Long Qian Xing glanced at the few officials who tried to run away but caught.

Some of them were crying, some others were threatening the soldiers, some others were putting on a brave front.

But no matter what their reaction was, it could not change the fact that Shi Long Kingdom had lost and that this kingdom would be nothing more than history. It was the simple truth. The war with Shi Long Kingdom is done. The aftermath would still take some time as there would be people who were dissatisfied with this result. Long Qian Xing was sure that his father would deal with these people as soon as possible. 'But the war is not yet done.'

Thinking about Fei Yang Kingdom's desire to conquer Fan Yi Kingdom, Long Qian Xing wanted to groan. He had suffered a lot in this war and his soldiers also needed to recuperate, so he would ask for a long leave from Emperor Yang Zhou. If anything, Long Qian Xing think that a year or two would be needed for him to retrain more soldiers to participate in the war after a huge loss. Not to mention, he still had to arrange for the compensation and so on. *sigh*

Work was far from over.
