Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“Yes.”

Yu Jin and Nan Hua talked with each other for a while after dinner. Naturally, the one who cooked the dinner was Nan Hua’s servants.

Seeing these people who served Nan Hua, Yu Jin sighed.

“This is the first time I realized that you’re truly a noble.”

In the past, Yu Jin truly couldn’t see Nan Hua as the noble daughter of a big family. After all, Nan Hua’s performance didn’t look like someone who came from a big family…

Well, that was if they ignored the etiquette that Nan Hua was showing.

After all, Nan Hua was following the proper etiquette when she outside, clearly presenting herself as someone knowledgeable.

“I’m a noble daughter, yes.” Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin. “But not all noble daughters will stay in their residence all the time.”

“I know, I know.” Yu Jin laughed when she heard Nan Hua’s words.

The group talked until night and then rested.

The next day, Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua unwillingly.

“I can’t stay here all the time,” Nan Hua said calmly.

“You’re always so calm and composed.” Yu Jin rolled her eyes when she saw Nan Hua’s appearance. Afterwards, she grinned. “But it didn’t matter. Remember to come again in the future!”

“I will.”

<Long distance away, North Border of Fei Yang Kingdom, Song Yun Xiang’s side>

The design approval was handed over to Song Yun Xiang and the others at the fastest speed possible.

Song Yun Xiang looked at the report in his hand and nodded his head in satisfaction. It should be said that Gu Xia Mo was really capable and got his plans accepted. But this also meant that Gu Xia Mo would be busy for the next period of time.

Gu Xia Mo, who was being pushed by Yan Jin Nian, saw the satisfied look on Song Yun Xiang’s face.

“Is it about the design?”

“Yes.” Song Yun Xiang nodded and said, “From now on, you have to work hard to build the wall and make sure part of it can be finished before winter this year.”

There were still around 8 months before winter.

While 8 months sounded like a long time, but they were talking about a big project that might only be finished in a few years.

Song Yun Xiang doubted that this project could be finished anytime soon.

“This winter?” Gu Xia Mo was surprised when he heard the timeline set by Song Yun Xiang. “I don’t think it’ll be possible for me to finish this project in such a short period of time.”

If anything, Gu Xia Mo felt that the project would last for a long time. He had seen the current situation in this era and there were not many convenient tools that could be used to speed up the construction.

“I don’t mean for you to finish it completely but to connect at least two other walls to this wall before winter,” Song Yun Xiang replied.

There were several separate walls on the north border, which was the main confrontation area when they faced the northern tribe. These walls were in various states, either in good condition or in disrepair.

But they were all the first defense against the northern tribe.

Of course, this excluded the small team of scouts that Song Yun Xiang had sent to the north recently to figure out what the northern tribe was doing in the past few months. Aside from that explosion, he doubted that he would be able to get any result, though.

Because Song Yun Xiang just hoped that they could receive some pieces of news.

Anything would be fine.

As long as they could find out some of the northern tribe’s movement, they would be more ready to face these people when it was winter.

“Two walls?” Gu Xia Mo contemplated and calculated in his mind for a moment. “I’ll need a large number of people and also some people whom I could use to supervise.”

“I’ll give you some people,” Song Yun Xiang replied calmly. “As for the labor force, there will be a large number of war prisoners coming soon. You should think about how to arrange their work first before they arrived.”

The war prisoners were located in various cities for various reasons. Song Yun Xiang had seen the number that each city around the north border would send. Some of these war prisoners also came from city further down to the south but it would not cross the middle area.

After all, Emperor Zhou had to pay attention to the other construction.

And most of those war prisoners who came from the central region had died because they have been working for so many years.

Those at the south were mostly from Shi Long Kingdom’s areas but they were also working under Great General Long’s order to build city and open up lands. There were many areas that were left unattended by Shi Long Kingdom and many governor were selected to expand their areas.

Otherwise, such a large uncultivated area would be a waste.

Sogn Yun Xiang didn’t know the exact details, though. After all, he didn’t pay a visit to the south and only received news about what they were doing briefly. This was enough for him to understand the overall situation but not enough to know the specific details of what had happened.

“War prisoners…” Gu Xia Mo through for a moment and nodded.

“But with you building the wall, how’s your progress to make the bombs and the others?” Song Yun Xiang remembered something else.

Moreover, Song Yun Xiang also knew that Gu Xia Mo’s body was not exactly in the best condition. If he was forced to work so hard for a long period of time, there was a chance that Gu Xia Mo would collapse.

“The materials’ acquisition took a long time, so I can use this time to build the wall first,” Gu Xia Mo said calmly. “When there’s a break, I can switch to make it again and Yan Jin Nian will help me to watch over these people.”
