Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Trust?

General Yang looked at Minister Yang with some doubts.

While his intelligence couldn't be said tone bad, but he was not as sharp as his brother. So when Minister Yang said this, General Yang could not understand what Minster Yang truly meant.

"When you conquered other forces, will you use their people directly?" Minister Yang asked calmly when he saw his brother's expression. He knew that it would take some time for his stupid brother to understand.

Well, General Yang was not that stupid.

But no matter what, General Yang's comprehension was not as good as himself. Moreover, he was not able to understand the complete layout of the world and his talent seemed to be poured into martial arts and some talent to be a leader.

But asking him to be scheming and all…

It was impossible.

"Of course not." General Yang shook his head.

His military career was naturally composed of him protecting the border for a long time. But there were still some time when he also conquered the bandits and small other forces around.

Most of the time, these people would be eliminated because they have no use for Fan YI Kingdom.

After all, the number of people and resources were limited. They conquered these small groups for the sake of maintaining peace and the overall situation. Why should he use them?

But the situation of Fei Yang Kingdom was different.

They conquered other kingdom, it was not only for the same of maintaining peace whatsoever, but for the sake of resources. Be it human resources or the other resources on the land, it was the real target of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Under this premise, it was impossible for Fei Yang Kingdom to launch a complete massacre when he conquered these kingdoms.

They needed the humans and the resources there.

And it was also because of this reason that General Yang was willing to surrender to Fei Yang Kingdom and be used by them. There were many people's lives under him and he was responsible for their lives. Only by surrendering to Fei Yang Kingdom would it be possible for them to survive.

Thankfully, Fei Yang Kingdom was willing to accept him and the soldiers under him.

But they were still placed on the north border, the same assignment as before.

And to make sure Fei Yang Kingdom could trust them more, General Yang was also willing to eliminate those people who wanted to rebel against Fei Yang Kingdom before they made any move. After all, he didn't want to cause troubles or to be involved in any so called rebellions.

With his current identity, it was not easy for him to gain Fei Yang Kingdom's trust.

"Then, what do you mean by choosing to trust us? Since His Majesty had accepted us as part of Fei Yang Kingdom and gave us the right to stay on the border, he had already trusted us from a long time ago, right?" General Yang asked in some confusion.

Minister Yang glanced at his brother and said, "No, that's not necessarily correct."

"…Yes?"

"His Majesty did trust us to a certain degree when we choose to switch side to Fei Yang Kingdom, but it's not a complete trust." Minister Yang walked to the meeting room. Since Song Yun Xiang and General Ning were here, it was time for them to have a long talk.

General Yang saw his brother's move and silently followed behind Minister Yang. He didn't completely understand his brother, but he felt that he should trust his brother.

"In that case…"

"The trust given to us is more conditional. There are still many people watching our movements in the past few months." Minister Yang sat down and smiled faintly. "But now that His Majesty sent Song Yun Xiang and General Ning here, it meant that he had chosen to trust us."

"The four of us come from Fan Yi Kingdom and in normal situation, it's impossible for His Majesty to put us together. The forces under us are more than enough to cause great rebellions against Fei Yang Kingdom should we want to. Moreover, there were still many soldiers under General Gao too.

Three generals, one strategist, more than 30,000 soldiers, it's definitely more than enough to cause turmoil on the border."

Hearing his brother's words, General Yang came to realization.

Even after the cleanup and so on, the number of soldiers under the three of them were actually still quite large. Many of them had followed Fan Yi Kingdom for a long time and it was inevitable for some of them to have different minds.

It was also because of this reason that General Yang has been quite busy lately to clean up some people.

So if they were allowed to gather together… it meant that Emperor Yang Zhou had started to trust them.

"Of course, this might also be a test." Minister Yang looked at the north and sighed. "After all, we don't know what the northern tribe is planning now."

They have the same enemies and there was no one who wanted to make trouble with Fei Yang Kingdom.

Besides, the Yang Family had no interest in the throne.

The Gao Family was also the same.

General Ning and Song Yun Xiang?

The two of them were even more unlikely. After all, the Ning Family themselves were not exactly a big family and the number of soldiers under General Ning was fewer compared to the two of them.

Back then, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor didn't like the fact that a woman go to the battlefield and didn't allow General Ning to develop well. It was only because of her capability that she managed to recruit more soldiers who were loyal to her.

Song Yun Xiang himself…

There was no so called Song Family behind him. Those people who despised him in the past had long been cleaned up by Song Yun Xiang and as a cripple, it was impossible for Song Yun Xiang to target the position of the emperor.
