Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

In terms of looking at people, Gu Xia Mo had to say that Yan Jin Nian was simply the best. She knew very well how to read people and see through their intention. So having Yan Jin Nian helping him would be the best.

“Yes, but it’ll be best if you don’t let them know her real identity,” Song Yun Xiang added quietly.

Yan Jin Nian is the empress dowager of Fei Yang Kingdom…

If others were to know that the empress dowager was actually running around…

Song Yun Xiang couldn’t imagine how terrible the impact would be.

After all, this is a very conservative era and having a woman in the army alone had already caused a lot of rumors to fly out. If it was not because there were indeed some female generals who were powerful and had made their name or some medical practitioner who came forward to help them, it was estimated that the soldiers here would never accept their presence.

“Don’t worry, I know that as well.” Yan Jin Nian rolled her eyes. “Not many people know my appearance, so they wouldn’t know.”

Those who knew Yan Jin Nian personally were those from Cheng City. And most people who have seen Yan Jin Nian were women because it would be impolite for men to look at women for a long time. Because of this, Yan Jin Nian was confident that not many people would be able to recognize her.

Moreover, Yan Jin Nian always dressed grandly when she was in Cheng City because of her status.

Without those grand clothing, who would remember her so clearly?

Oh wait, Nan Hua should know.

But Nan Hua was not here and Yan Jin Nian was not worried about the other party.

“Good.” Song Yun Xiang nodded and then walked to the table. On the table was a large map of the north border but there were many areas that were empty and unclear. On the top area, more than half were empty.

“This is…” Gu Xia Mo noticed the map and arched his eyebrows. It was not easy to make such a big animal skin map. “You made a map?”

“I can’t draw.” Song Yun Xiang glanced at Gu Xia Mo speechlessly.

Did he not see that he didn’t even have any arms?

How did the other party expect him to draw such an exquisite map?

“You can draw with your legs,” Gu XIa Mo replied without hesitation. In his opinion, Song Yun Xiang should be able to do this kind of operation.

Song Yun Xiang’s face turned black.

He did learn how to write with his legs, to be exact his legs’ finger, but he didn’t know how to draw. In the first place, his drawing skills were not very good and Song Yun Xiang didn’t really specifically learn how to draw.

To be able to write with his legs was already very good.

And now Gu Xia Mo was expecting him to draw?

It was impossible.

“No, it’s General Ning who helps me to draw the map,” Song Yun Xiang replied and then climbed the elevated chair that was made specially for him. There was even steps prepared for him so that he would be able to climb comfortably.

After Song Yun Xiang sat down, he took a few pieces of stone marking and pushed them forward.

These things were usually used when arranging strategy, but it could be used for other things.

“This is where we are right now.”

Song Yun Xiang put the largest stone on top of the area where they were located.

“This is where General Gao is located and the last one is the wall closest to Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City. Your task is to build the wall from this place to these two walls…”

With that, Song Yun Xiang moved the stone to the two walls that were not too far away from where they were. Though, even if he said that it was not that far, it was still a few kilometers away.

And the terrain from this wall to the other wall was not exactly flat.

This would be a great challenge to the builders.

“I see.” Gu Xia Mo looked at the map and calculated the distance. He pursed his lips. “You sure give me a hard task, Song Yun Xiang.”

“If you can build the wall, we can use it to move the army from one post to another post. Moreover, this wall can be our first line of defense against the northern tribe,” Song Yun Xiang replied calmly.

The north border expanded a long area and Song Yun Xiang didn’t think that there was anything wrong with this statement. In fact, he felt that whoever proposed this wall building matter to Emperor Zhou should have long term vision.

The war with the northern tribe would not end anytime soon.

Even if they could defeat the northern tribe, the next generation might still come back to loot their cities.

So their peace would be temporary.

This long wall would help them when they faced the northern tribe in the years to come. Even if their use was very limited during this era, but it would be of great help for the future generations.

At that time, they would be able to protect the people better and did not have to suffer a lot from facing the northern tribe.

“I know.” Gu Xia Mo could naturally see what Song Yun Xiang meant. “I’ll try my best to finish the construction to these two walls in 8 months, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll finish it.”

“It’s good enough and there will be others who will help you,” Song Yun Xiang added. He looked at Gu Xia Mo to see the other party’s reaction.

“I’ll teach them well.” Gu Xia Mo shrugged.

He knew very well that the main reason why Song Yun Xiang ordered people to help and watch over him was also to learn the building skills from him.
