Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2026  Reunion

"If you have experienced your homeland almost destroyed because it's coveted by another kingdom, I'm sure you would have felt the same way," Shan Yu said slowly as he drank the soup in his bowl. It was now dinner time and they were all sitting in front of the campfire, drinking some warm soup. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even if it was the end of summer, but night time was still pretty cold. Not to mention that it was almost autumn by now, so the temperature would only get lower. Drinking the warm soup in such cold weather was simply the best. "True enough." Yu Jin thought about her own hatred towards Zhang Xu Kingdom in the past and sighed. Prime Minister Lei targeted her mountain and the people there, so naturally Yu Jin was angry. She wanted to wage war against him if not because she knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom was really strong and it was difficult for her to have any advantage if she were to charge forward recklessly. This was also one of the factors that led her to agree with Nan Hua's proposition to work together with Fei Yang Kingdom. The Mountain Tribe and Fei Yang Kingdom worked together to eliminate Zhang Xu Kingdom from the map. And they succeed. Even now, Yu Jin still felt smug when she thought about this matter and wanted to laugh out loud. Naturally, she felt proud because her decision was right and that the Mountain Tribe was rising under her lead. As for Zhang Xu Kingdom?

It has been destroyed and would be forgotten in the annal of history as time passed. Who would always remember the glory of Zhang Xu Kingdom when the kingdom was gone?

Yu Jin was sure that no one would. As time passed, they would be nothing more than a piece of history they would read but didn't have much thoughts or affection on their own. After all, history has always been written by the victor and those who lost will slowly disappear in the passage of history.

Perhaps, some people will remember some famous people written in the history books.

But the rest would never be remembered.

This is the cruelty of the history.

Those who wished to leave their name in the passage of history had to do something that made their name worth remembering. Or simply be at the highest position that would be recorded in history.

But neither was easy.

"Have you experienced something like that?" Yu Jin suddenly asked.

She looked at Shan Yu curiously. It was only now did she realize that she didn't seem to know much about Shan Yu's past.

Aside from the fact that he was from Fan Yi Kingdom in the past and then followed Traveling Doctor Liu, Yu Jin didn't know about his family members in Fan Yi Kingdom. Oh wait, Shan Yu said that he didn't have any family members. From time to time, Shan Yu would tell Yu Jin about his story and experience when he was following Traveling Doctor Liu. He never told her anything about his time in Fan Yi Kingdom. Shan Yu looked at Yu Jin and shook his head. "I don't have any thoughts about my homeland."

Call him cold or anything, but Shan Yu truly didn't want to have anything to do with Fan Yi Kingdom. He was not raised there albeit born in that kingdom. For his entire life, he was traveling all around the world, looking at various things under the tutelage of his master. People said that they should be loyal to their kingdom where they were born. But Shan Yu barely knew anything about Fan Yi Kingdom.

He didn't spend much time in Fan Yi Kingdom because he didn't have any families worth calling family left. And since he was not raised there nor received any help from Fan Yi Kingdom, it was really hard for Shan Yu to have affection towards the kingdom. So even if Fei Yang Kingdom were to launch an attack towards Fan Yi Kingdom in the future…

Shan Yu would feel nothing. He was not like his junior brother who was once a prince and was raised in the palace and received teachings. Even if he was not treated well, his junior brother, Yu Zheng Xi still has some affections left for Wei Da Kingdom.

That was why when that kingdom was destroyed in the past, Yu Zheng Xi paid a visit secretly to the palace. But him…

He had no such thoughts. Some of his senior and junior brothers have deep affection for the land they came from and would fight for it. But some others were relatively neutral and didn't care as long as it didn't affect their lives.

Everyone's worldviews were different. And it was also because of this that Shan Yu would not bother them about it.

"I see." Yu Jin could sense that Shan Yu's mood was somewhat off, so she didn't pester him and simply leaned her head on Shan Yu's shoulder. She muttered under her breath, "I wonder when Nan Hua will come here."

"It should be soon?"

Shan Yu looked at the distance with uncertainty. Considering Nan Hua's speed, it shouldn't take that long for her to come from the three families' territory to their border, right?

After all, the distance was not that far if one were to travel through horse and so on. It was not like they were marching with an entire army because if that was the case, then it would indeed take much longer time. The two of them relaxed. And after some time, Yu Jin faint looked into the distance. She felt that she heard something coming. 'Is it Nan Hua?'

Yu Jin didn't hesitate and quickly stood up. If it was truly Nan Hua, then she wanted to see Nan Hua as fast as possible.

That girl has been missing for months and Yu Jin wanted to scold the other party. Naturally, that was after making sure that Nan Hua is fine.
