Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1115 Poisonous Plants (2)

Truthfully, Wei Mu Qing didn’t think that it was necessary for her to check by herself. She had seen Adjutant Nan’s medical skill, so she could guess that the other party must have good herbs identification skill. But she also knew that her older sister wouldn’t trust the other party so easily.

Since that was the case, she could only bite the bullet and came forward to give a check.

“Adjutant Nan, did you see a lot of them ahead?” Wei Mu Qing frowned when she saw the flowers. She had also noticed the traces of the recently dug dirt around the flower, so she could guess what happened.

Nan Hua nodded. “The smell is getting a bit more intense the longer we walk. This one guessed that these plants might have been planted around the road in order to affect the soldiers because we can’t travel at high speed.”

“I see.”

Wei Mu Qing shook her head and sighed. “I didn’t expect them to leave something like this.”

“They might be prepared to ambush us at the front, so it’s better to stay careful and send more scouts.” Nan Hua was calm. This kind of situation couldn’t bother her in the slightest bit.

Hearing Nan Hua’s words, Wei Mu Qing was amazed. She turned to look at Nan Hua and could see the indifferent look within Nan Hua’s eyes. Even though she had seen a few capable women, Wei Mu Qing had to admit that none of them were like Adjutant Nan.

She lowered her eyes and retreated. “Sister, we should take detour.”

.....

“Alright.”

Wei Mu Ya was clenching her fist. She had seen how Wei Mu Qing seemed to be so comfortable talking with that adjutant. Even though she had heard from their father that he was a capable person, she still felt that he was an eyesore in her eyes.

And so, Nan Hua realized that she had somehow invoked the fury of Wei Mu Ya without doing anything.

She blinked her eyes and returned to her horse.

It seemed that she had accidentally cause Wei Mu Ya to not like Adjutant Nan greatly. Well, it didn’t really matter that much for her because it was nothing more than a small misunderstanding.

But it was not convenient for her to reveal it.

How annoying.

“Why do I feel like I see sparks of fire?” Nan Luo was speechless.

“Just ignore it.” Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes. The other party would surely forget about this matter when they left later.

“Ok.”

They took detour and used another route. This time, Nan Hua didn’t notice anything strange. But because they took detour, the time they took to reach the plains where they were supposed to rest would take a much longer time.

It was not that ideal.

“There’s the open area at the front.” Nan Luo grinned when he saw it. “We’ll be able to rest for the night soon.”

“Mhm.” Feng Ao Kuai nodded and looked at the soldiers who were sent as the scout as his eyes narrowed. He was a vigilant person because he knew how things could change rapidly at the frontline like this.

The number of scouts who returned were two less than when they departed.

“Ao Kuai?”

“Prepare for battle!”

The sudden shout startled them all, but they quickly entered the formation necessary. In the middle, Wei Mu Ya was stunned and nearly cursed out loudly. They didn’t even see anyone approaching, why did they have to be prepared for battle?

But before she could do anything, there were already a few people rushing towards them.

“KILL!”

“PROTECT THE CARRIAGE!” Wei Mu Ya was stunned when she saw the people who came forwards. Her hand controlled the horse to make sure that she would be able to protect her younger sister.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of battles reverberated.

Feng Ao Kuai had taken out his bow and shoot towards the people who were approaching them. His hand moved swiftly to reload and shoot accurately.

At the side, Nan Hua didn’t move at all.

She was silently calculating the people who appeared and noticed their somewhat sluggish movement. They were not soldiers. Rather, they were villagers and probably part of a group that was loyal to Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Since this part used to be theirs, Nan Hua had known that there would be some people who were dissatisfied and tried to rebel.

But their forces were too small.

‘Around 1500 people.’

Slash!

Nan Luo was not far from Nan Hua and frowned when he noticed the middle area was in worse situation. “Just what is that woman doing? Can’t she maintain the formation?”

Nan Hua glanced at the middle then at her twin brother.

“Go and help them. I’ll take over here.”

“Ah?”

“Go.”

Hearing the order from Nan Hua, Nan Luo was a bit stumped at first. Then, he ordered his horse to pace towards the middle while yelling, “Maintain the formation! Don’t break the formation and try to make sure you’re staying in the line!”

The soldiers were stunned.

Many of them didn’t really want to follow his order because they were part of Wei Mu Ya’s army. But at this point of time, they also knew that they had to make sure that they were maintaining the formation.

If they let more people came in, they would endanger the second young miss’ life.

“What the hell? Help me out here!” Wei Mu Ya yelled. She gripped her sword tighter and lashed out forward.

Clang!

“Damn it!”

Slash!

Nan Luo arrived and looked at the soldiers around Wei Mu Ya. He frowned. This young commander didn’t seem to have the ability to lead her soldiers that well considering how scattered their formation was.

“Get closer to your comrades and make sure you’re not allowing anyone to pass!” Nan Luo yelled as he stopped his horse suddenly and swung his sword.

Slash!

The nearby person near him who tried to attack him was killed instantly.
