Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 312 – Blood

*rustle* *rustle*

Long Qian Xing was sure that he was supposed to be searching for Princess Yue and not Nan Hua. However, the route that was directed to the north would eventually clash with the team that search for Princess Yue.

He had left a message for General Chi and General Feng about the message that Nan Hua left behind.

Right now, a large team was deployed towards the north.

However, their small team was at the very forefront, trying to reach the furthest location as fast as possible. The larger team would comb the entire area to make sure that they didn't miss even an inch during their inspection.

"Cousin Ao Kuai, do you think that it's possible for her to…" Nan Luo was actually worried about something else.

Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips. "That's possible."

"Do you have additional clothes?"

"Yes, Xiao Yun prepared one in the bag. It's a big crumpled, though." Feng Ao Kuai was always tasked to carry an additional robe for Nan Hua in case they came out without their maidservants. Even though some servants were still following from a distance away, the children often shake them off to have fun.

The clothes were prepared in case Nan Hua's clothes got dirty. After all, Nan Hua had an image that she had to keep even though she might not really care too much about it.

"How about Big Brother…?"

"… There's none with him."

Nan Luo cursed under his breath. He should have thought things through when he brought them over here. How could he possibly forget the possibility of Nan Hua exposing her martial arts due to some situation.

But this was really not the time for him to think about it.

"Let's just hurry."

The two of them walked even faster while the soldiers were going further and further away behind them. The soldiers were helpless when they saw the two children going first but neither one of them stopped the children.

They knew that the children were capable.

At the very least, they could protect themselves and didn't really need other people's protection.

"Hmm?"

"What is it?"

Nan Luo's eyes narrowed. "It's the smell of blood."

Because his grandfather allowed him to train by letting assassins entered their residence from time to time, Nan Luo was incredibly sensitive to the smell of blood. After all, whenever there was this smell, it would mean that he had to fight because the guard would only help him if his life was in utter danger.

If he was not in some kind of mortal danger, they would allow one or two assassins passed through.

"Where?" Feng Ao Kuai asked with frown. He might have already participated in war, but Feng Ao Kuai was nothing more than a helper during that time he was at the battlefield. He was staying at the very back, in the headquarter where it was the safest location.

He had never gotten close to real battle.

The only time he got engaged with real battles were when Old Master Nan asked him to train by fighting the assassins who came to their residence. It had been quite peaceful here, though.

"Over there." Nan Luo suddenly dashed. He could guess that if there was a smell of blood, it was very likely that Nan Hua would have already started fighting. Because of that, he didn't want to delay any longer.

One, he had to protect his sister.

Two, even if he was not strong enough, he wanted to at least protected her identity so that she would be able to live without worry.

Swish!

Dashing through the forest, Nan Luo finally reached the location. But what he saw that day was an image that he would never be able to forget in his entire life.

…

*Not long ago*

"Are we finally departing?" the kidnapper asked in annoyance. The carriage suddenly entered the forest area and couldn't move properly. There was a road available, but they couldn't even use it.

"There are some noises. It's also near a village, so we're going to use a different route." The woman's voice was cold and domineering.

"Hey, are we not going to do anything to these two brats?"

"It'll cause trouble."

"How about if we leave a mark on her face? Everyone always say that Princess Yue is a beauty but she didn't look like her mother at all."

Her mother?

Nan Hua didn't really understand why these men could even know how Princess Yue's mother looked like. Well, she knew that Emperor Xuan had a lot of concubines but she really couldn't remember which noble Princess Yue's mother was.

"Indeed, her mother used to be the most beautiful woman in Lin Family." The woman sneered. "Unfortunately, she betrayed the family and run to Fei Yang Kingdom. But now that her daughter is in my hand, it's indeed too bad if I can't do anything to her."

"What do you plan to do?" the cold kidnapper asked, his tone somewhat excited.

"Give me a knife."

"Here."

Nan Hua was lying right beside Princess Yue and finally understood the pieces of things that she couldn't understand before. It seemed that the reason Emperor Yang Zhou picked Princess Yue amongst other princess was also because her mother was from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Also, the real reason why Lin Qiang was suddenly framed and had her identity leaked… it was all because of this princess.

"Hmm, her face or her hand would be better?"

And in the original novel, Nan Hua knew very well that Princess Yue was disfigured due to the kidnapping case. In the very first place, Nan Hua already knew that this kidnapping event would take place but Princess Yue would eventually reach Zhang Xu Kingdom palace in haggard appearance.

Her proclaimed beauty was none to see but the Emperor still took her in.

It was just…. The relationship between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom ended up getting worse a bit fast because of this matter.

This time…

Thunk!
