Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: The Past Promise

After Long Qian Xing was done talking with Nan Hua, he naturally went back to his army. He hadn't left for that long and while some other commanders were curious where he went, he simply reasoned that he took a detour because he saw suspicious person but it was a false alarm.

This thing happened from time to time. The others wouldn't think too much when Long Qian Xing gave this reason.

After he had dealt with some annoying people, Long Qian Xing returned to his camp area. He saw Lin Yuan, the merchant who used to receive help from him in the past and also his good friend, was guffawing with his soldiers.

He arched his eyebrows.

"You sure have a good time, Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan's body stiffened when he heard Long Qian Xing's words. The soldiers in front of him were not any better. They quickly said that they were busy and ran away, leaving Lin Yuan there.

No one wanted to face Long Qian Xing when he was giving his 'devil' smile.

"Haha, you're back, Qian Xing…" Lin Yuan let out an awkward laugh.

Long Qian Xing snorted. "You've been staying at the north for so many years. I even heard that you build the new trade road that's more beneficial for you."

"Oh, right. Yes, I did." Lin Yuan grinned. "It's so hard to make them open their door but with money, everything is possible!"

"Then you should use that money to get a wife since your father had been pestering you for a grandson."

Lin Yuan was speechless.

Why did he feel that Long Qian Xing was even more ruthless than usual?

He didn't happen to have his…

*cough*

That was just nonsense.

"Tsk, you didn't even miss me when I purposely take a detour here before departing to the South." Lin Yuan clicked his tongue.

Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes. He crossed his arms. "I remember that you promised Hua'er that you're going to buy her medical books from the north, am I right?"

Lin Yuan was speechless once more.

He swore that when he gave that promise to Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing was miles away from where they were. There was no way that Long Qian Xing would have known that short conversation between him and Nan Hua normally.

"How did you…?"

"You take an extremely long time in order to gather the books and the news spread. I don't think you're someone who have interest in medical books, so I guessed that they're for Hua'er." Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.

Yet, Lin Yuan felt chills from deep within his bones. He really wanted to curse his subordinates seven generations right now. Back when he asked them to search for medical books for sale, he had reminded them to do it covertly and make sure that no one knew about it.

But now he realized that Long Qian Xing seemed to have long known about this.

He felt that his intelligence and capability was really far from Long Qian Xing.

"I did. I was originally planning to give it to her, but I heard that she's missing." Lin Yuan shrugged.
