Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The trouble will never end in this way.

Emperor Yang Zhou understood this very well, but he didn’t have any good way to solve the northern tribe.

Perhaps, he could make sure that they would not attack Fei Yang Kingdom during his reign.

But what about afterwards?

When the northern tribe has more people and has enough power to threaten Fei Yang Kingdom again, would they be the same?

They also needed powerful people who could lead Fei Yang Kingdom and ensure the safety of the entire kingdom. But human’s lives are limited and the best they could do was to fight for a few decades.

It was impossible to last longer than that.

Emperor Yang Zhou frowned and then sighed.

He should not think about it for the time being. The most important thing for him to do was to make sure that the northern tribe would not take advantage of them in the upcoming war.

No matter how many times he needed to take, he would never let them off so easily.

“I’ll leave it to you for the laws… focus on improving the people’s live for the next few years,” Emperor Yang Zhou gave his order.

He wanted to launch a big war against the northern tribe.

But apart from this year because there was still enough resources left in Fan Yi Kingdom after he conquered the kingdom last year, there were not much resources left. The number of people conscripted into military had also decreased as Emperor Yang Zhou wanted these people to go back and farm.

The supplies for emergencies were still needed.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Prime Minister Lan replied rigorously.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded in satisfaction after hearing Prime Minister Lan’s words. He looked at the distance and took a deep breath.

The next moment, he cupped his fist for the soldiers who would fight for Fei Yang Kingdom next.

‘May the Heaven be with you.’

….

North of Fei Yang Kingdom, one of the cities.

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the snow that had started to fall in front of him in a daze. His eldest senior disciple has been called by General Yang and until now, there was no sign of him coming back in the slightest bit.

Now that it was already winter, Traveling Doctor Liu felt that there was simply no chance for him to come back.

There was no way the military would allow him to come back during this period of time. And if the northern tribe were to use poison or the likes as a means to win the war, his contribution would be necessary.

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed.

In this war ridden world, it was really hard for them to live peacefully without the need to worry so much about the situation outside. They had to pay attention to the outside world’s situation and made sure to prepare their action thoroughly.

“Master, it’s getting cold,” Yu Zheng Xi, Traveling Doctor Liu’s fifth disciple, reminded his master.

“I know.” Traveling Doctor Liu glanced at Yu Zheng Xi and sighed. “This cold couldn’t do anything to me.”

He might be a bit old, but he was not that weak. Traveling Doctor Liu felt that there was no need for Yu Zheng Xi to worry so much about him. With his profession, he could still estimate how strong his body is and this much was nothing.

“Master…” Yu Zheng Xi looked at his master helplessly.

He was not like his eldest senior brother who could still argue with Traveling Doctor Liu with various medical terms and so on. Nor is he like his third senior brother, Shan Yu, who could coax Traveling Doctor Liu with his words.

After all, Yu Zheng Xi was used to protect Traveling Doctor Liu in the darkness and didn’t interfere much with what his teacher was doing.

But now that there were not many others around, he could only step forward to remind Traveling Doctor Liu.

“I won’t stay outside for long,” Traveling Doctor Liu said lightly as he looked at the snow outside.

The season at the north was more extreme compared to the south. At the very least, the winter was not as cold as the north and the summer seemed to be a bit different. Though, Traveling Doctor Liu was not particularly sure because he didn’t pay attention to seasons and weather all the time.

After all, Traveling Doctor Liu focused more on the medicine and herbs.

As long as the temperature was suitable for the plants to grow, it was more than enough for him.

Whether it would rain, cloudy, snowing, or others, Traveling Doctor Liu didn’t pay that much attention.

“Yes, Master.” Yu Zheng Xi was relieved when he heard Traveling Doctor Liu’s words.

“Shi Hao Yi wouldn’t be able to go back in time… if something happens, are you willing to go and help him?” Traveling Doctor Liu asked slowly.

With his eldest disciple out there, Traveling Doctor Liu was actually a bit worried about his safety. He didn’t know whether Shi Hao Yi would be alright or would be implicated in this war.

It felt a bit frustrating.

Traveling Doctor Liu has never sided with any of the kingdoms before and simply treated the patients that needed him. So the case of him serving one kingdom and his disciple serving the other kingdom did exist in the past.

For this matter, Yu Zheng Xi also knew and was speechless by his master’s behavior.

But at the same time, he understood that Traveling Doctor Liu was trying to stay away from the conflict between these kingdoms in order to protect his and his disciples’ lives.

If they were too involved in one kingdom…

Well, there was no need to say the rest.

Some disciples were indeed stubborn back then but the rest didn’t have much affection to the kingdom where they stayed.

Because as long as they could still live well, who cares what the person at the top was doing.
