Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2215: Meeting (2)



"You can start eating now," Long Qian Xing and looked at Song Yi Liang. The little guy was already paying close attention to the food in front of him. Clearly, he was hungry but retraining himself.

"Okay." Song Chuan nodded.

They all started to eat and Song Yi Liang was definitely the happiest. He was already so hungry and now that they started eating, he ate well and still followed the etiquette.

As they were eating, Long Qian Xing continued to talk with Song Chuan, "Anything else I have to pay attention to?"

"The Xiao Family might want to contact your wife," Song Chuan replied. "They're relatively neutral in their stance, but it didn't mean they wouldn't try to make connections. As a big family, they know very well how to maintain their connections."

Long Qian Xing's eyes deepened.

The Xiao Family was one of the biggest family in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom. After the subjugation, there are also many nobles and so on from other kingdoms that were reorganized, but most of them would not hold the same important position as before.

On the other hand, the Xiao Family was still holding on important position.

"The military families have been losing a lot in the past few years." Long Qian Xing shook his head when he thought about this.

Due to the war with various kingdoms, many generals have fallen and their families naturally would not receive the same treatment as before.

Even if they would still be able to live comfortably for a long time due to the family's wealth and the Emperor would not do anything to them, it was still different. Many of them chose to move away from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Because they knew that if they stayed here, they might be eaten clean without any bones left.

And in the past decade, Long Qian Xing had watched this too often.

Many families fell and rise.

In the politics alone, there were many families who conflicted with each other and fell midway. And for the military families, their situation was not any better when it was war time.

For example, the Shangguan Family.

It used to thrive along with the Long Family and the Nan Family but now there were almost no trace left from them.

Most of them had died on the battlefield and by this time, there was not much mention of them anymore.

The few descendants left were very only a pitiful number of people.

And there were not much military power held in their hands.

The Shangguan Family was clearly not the last one and there were also many other families out there. After all, for some families, the highest rank didn't even reach a general and only some high ranked commanders.

But many of them had died on the battlefield.

As for the Xiao Family...

"Planting people here and there, huh?" Long Qian Xing shook his head. "As expected of them."

Song Chuan simply smiled.

Nan Hua listened to their words and her eyes flickered. In the Xiao Family, aside from the main lineage who will become the next head, the rest of the members were only branch family.

They always tried their best to have various connections to many families.

The women were married away and the men have wives coming from various families. In this way, no matter who win or lose, the Xiao Family would not be affected in overall.

The few people who were sent to the losing family would at least be buried well, but it was also their bad luck to lose like that. But the overall interest of the family was higher, so this method could be said to be quite common.

Among these people, Empress Xiao was one of them.

She was sent to the Imperial Palace in order to have good relationships with Emperor Yang Zhou. As for what she wanted to do when she become the empress, it was her business.

But the family would not let her forget about them.

They would not ask for much and only for her to continue working hard to stabilize her position and to connect with some talented people. In this way, she would benefit and the family behind her might also gain some benefit.

There was no loss in it.

Nan Hua should be one of the few people they were paying attention to.

In fact, it could be said that they have been paying attention to Nan Hua since a long time ago because Empress Xiao silently tried to side with Nan Hua slightly> but her position was leaning towards neutral more.

Because the Xiao Family had to be cautious in their move.

Now...

Nan Hua is the young miss of the Nan Family, the beloved granddaughter of Old Master Nan, and also the wife of Long Qian Xing, the famous general on Fei Yang Kingdom.

No matter which one it is, it was enough to make people put Nan Hua in an important position.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

So if the Xiao Family continued with their operation, Empress Xiao might come forward to contact Nan Hua soon.

"Don't worry about them," Nan Hua said slowly. "They couldn't do anything."

Nan Hua had already seen Empress Xiao before and even if Empress Xiao is part of the Xiao Family, she is now also part of the Imperial Family. Her every action had to be considered carefully if she didn't want to be put in the spotlight and so on.

Even if she wanted to contact Nan Hua, Empress Xiao had to be careful.

"Alright, Sister in law," Song Chuan replied.

Sister in law?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and silently glanced at Long Qian Xing, who was keeping a straight face. For some reasons, she had the faint feeling that it was Long Qian Xing who asked Song

Chuan to call like this.

This made her thought about Lin Yuan and possibly also that blacksmith...

Long Qian Xing couldn't possibly ask them all to call her that way, could he?
