FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 2507  Song Chuan’s Arrival

He could ask if he wanted to.

But Long Qian Xing felt that it was unnecessary.

While others always said that he was close to Emperor Yang Zhou, Long Qian Xing knew that this relationship was based on the fact that he would support Emperor Yang Zhou to continue sitting on that throne.

Long Qian Xing had no interest to rebel nor to sit on the throne.

For him, becoming a great general has always been his dream, so Long Qian Xing would rather stick to stay in the military. But this didn’t mean that he didn’t know anything about the political situation.

After all, Long Qian Xing didn’t know whether Emperor Yang Zhou would suddenly change his mind in the future.

Human’s heart can be really fickle.

He trust that he himself would not be tempted by the position on the throne nor the power or the glory that came with it. Because Long Qian Xing knew very well that every position would be followed by the responsibility behind it. Becoming an Emperor is not easy.

It was a position with a lot of power behind it and if it fell into the hands of someone who didn’t know how to use it, it could destroy the entire kingdom. So Long Qian Xing still paid some attention to the overall situation.

But this didn’t mean that he would put his entire attention on this matter.

After all, Long Qian Xing knew very well that he only needed to know the most important points.

“And what I have known so far is good enough,” Long Qian Xing replied with a faint smile and raised his head, rubbing Nan Hua’s head tenderly. Nan Hua blinked her eyes, not understanding why Long Qian Xing suddenly wanted to pat her head.

“General Shangguan is about to come back.”

“It’s indeed time for him to come back.” Long Qian Xing nodded, not surprising to hear that Shangguan Xiao would be coming back. Afterwards, his eyes flashed slightly.

Considering what had happened to the Shangguan Family over the years, Long Qian Xing was not sure that Shangguan Xiao would be willing to stay in Cheng City. There were many bitter memories for the Shangguan Family here. Even if those were not Shangguan Xiao’s immediate family members, but he should know what had happened to them.

After a moment, Long Qian Xing pushed the thought away from his mind.

There was no need for him to care so much about this matter. He would just ask when he took a look at Shangguan Xiao’s situation in the future. The carriages moved quickly and soon, they reached the examination hall. Long Qian Xing brought Nan Hua to the place where Song Chuan was located. “You’re finally here.” Song Chuan looked at Long Qian Xing and heaved a sigh of relief. “The parents of the candidates are a bit too much this time. They kept on coming to me, asking if the questions are difficult or not.”

He really wanted to complain to these people.

The questions for the Imperial Examination were not decided by him alone and there were many people who were involved. Those officials whose children were among the people who will take the exams will not be able to participate and many of the questions selected were also random.

Aside from these questions, there were also the special questions prepared by Emperor Yang Zhou for the Imperial Examination.

Since he would be busy in the new capital city, he handed this task over to Song Chuan, allow him to test the candidates. Before today, Song Chuan never showed the question given by Emperor Yang Zhou, which made many other officials itchy in their hearts.

But now, it was impossible for them to look for the answers.

The candidates have already entered and cheating was absolutely unforgivable. Whoever dared to cheat would not be allowed to participate in the examination again in their entire life.

Though, they were sure that some people were still brave enough to cheat. Because the temptation that came from being an official was really high. “You’re doing a good job,” Long Qian Xing interrupted before Song Chuan started to complain endlessly. He was not here to listen to Song Chuan’s complain. “Yes.” Song Chuan sighed and shrugged. “I have made all the plans and only need more input from you. The boats are more or less ready and what left is the implementation…”

The two men started to discuss about the trade route plan while Nan Hua sat on the side, listening to the two of them. She didn’t understand half of what they were saying since she never knew too much about business.

If she has any business instinct, she would not have been thrown to become an assassin in her previous life.

Looking at the bamboo scroll nearby, Nan Hua read the content.

It was the questions for the examination today.

These questions were mostly based on the current situation of Fei Yang Kingdom. While there were some books in the current era of Fei Yang Kingdom but their number was not that big yet.

After all, making books were difficult.

They had to either use leather or bamboo scrolls, which would take longer to make. They were also not that easy to keep because they took a lot of spaces.

Before paper could be developed, they had to rely on this method.
