Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2542  Famine

“I wish you safe travel.” Nan Hua cupped her fist.

Follow Master’s footsteps?

Hearing this title, Feng Qing Lan nearly knelt on the spot. He could guess that his twelfth junior sister was really powerful and came from a good background family. But he could never expect that the man who followed his junior sister could even go to the court and talked with Emperor Yang Zhou personally. “It’s not a problem at all.”

His words were clear.

One was gambling and the second one was to look for rare and precious herbs.

He only have two hobbies in this world.

But Nan Hua knew very well that the main reason why Traveling Doctor Liu become a traveling doctor was because he was forced into that situation. The disciples he took and the situation back then, it was a pain in Traveling Doctor Liu’s heart. So even if it was difficult, Traveling Doctor Liu has never regretted his decision to travel the land and paid a visit to various places. Without that beginning, he would not have the chance to see the world and meet with his disciples.

It would be really painful. Of course, Nan Hua would not mention this matter in front of Shan Yu.

Some areas were definitely not as rich as other areas.

He couldn’t handle it.

The land was not really owned by them but ‘lent’ so that they could work on it for the government. The leftover of the grain that was outside the stipulated amount could be owned by these farmers.

His Majesty?

He could still remember that after his master finished teaching his twelfth junior sister, he came to pay him a visit in the mountain. After that, he was directly compared to his talented junior sister.

That made Feng Qing Lan stupid.

After all the land system was a bit different during this era.

Afterwards, she remembered that many lands were newly opened after the war with Shi Long Kingdom was over. There were a large lands that Shi Long Kingdom controlled but many of these were uncultivated lands.

The two of them exchanged a few more polite gestures before Nan Hua learned that Feng Qing Lan was here because he wanted to see different gambling games.

“Thank you, Twelfth Junior Sister.” Feng Qing Lan returned the salute and then said, “I see that you’re traveling, but I suggest you not to go to the southeast.”

He really wanted to be like Traveling Doctor Liu, but his reasoning was that it would allow him to live freely. For the farmer at the bottom level, they have to pay tax to the government every year. Their tax was naturally to pay a certain amount of grain every year during the autumn harvest.

When thinking about this, Feng Qing Lan was excited.

“Ok. Thank you for the news, Tenth Senior Brother.”

Long Qian Xing nodded. “I’ll ask His Majesty to do investigation later.”

As the senior brother, Feng Qing Lan that his pressure and responsibility was too big!

It seemed that gambling was no longer a hobby for Feng Qing Lan but already reached the stage of addiction.

Traveling Doctor Liu could only scold him and Feng Qing Lan himself enjoyed the feeling of moving from one place to another. She looked at her senior brother in silence.

Feng Qing Lan smiled and replied, “To be able to live freely without the bound and constraint, isn’t it the best gift and dream one could have?”

Once their conversation was over, Feng Qing Lan immediately ran away.

“There’s a famine,” Feng Qing Lan replied. “I passed by a few villages and the result in the autumn harvest was not very good. These people are worrying about what to eat in the next year and if the situation is not resolved by next year’s autumn harvest, they might choose to rebel directly.”

Feng Qing Lan really wanted to cry. Moreover, there was also the appearance of Luo Qing Wei, who was even more talented and capable. “That should be all,” Nan Hua said and then added, “Tenth Senior Brother, do you plan to follow Master’s footsteps?”

But Nan Hua said nothing.

The background of these disciples is going to crush him to death one by one. This disciple should be the disciple that caused trouble for Traveling Doctor Liu the most. “Famine?” Nan Hua asked and blinked her eyes, trying to think about the situation on the east.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing.

“Who would have thought that I can meet with the powerful twelfth junior sister?” Feng Qing Lan lamented to himself after he ran out.
