Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 328 – Changes In Wind City

After waiting for another moment, Nan Hua slipped away.

She was not surprised by the people's reaction inside that room. Coupled with the fact that the people there were already screaming and making a lot of noises before, the guards wouldn't enter anytime soon.

The Governor's death was certain.

Swish!

After making a few more rounds, Nan Hua then go back to her own residence. She slipped into her room and then headed to the bathroom to wash up a bit. While she had made sure that she didn't stain her clothes with blood, the smell of blood still stuck onto her.

Splash! Splash!

"Miss, would you like warm water?" Xiao Yun asked from outside the door.

"No need."

"Yes, Miss."

Xiao Yun heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her Miss answering. In all honestly, she had noticed Nan Hua's disappearance halfway through, but she pretended that she was still there and refused Nan Luo's request to visit his sister. She claimed that Nan Hua had fallen asleep and that she was tired and so on.

Thankfully, Nan Luo didn't press on the matter and left soon afterwards.

The night passed quietly.

Nan Hua woke up in time and her cousins were busy discussing the matter of the night before. It seemed that the chaos had started not long after Nan Hua returned because the sheer number of people dying in the span of a night's time.

It caused everyone to be startled and naturally launched heavy investigation. They were all going to launch a war soon, so what could be the cause of their death?

"I can't believe over 100 people died." Feng Ao Si was still reeling the feeling of shock from when his father told him the news.

Feng Ao Kuai glanced at his older brother and said nothing. He was sure that there must be a reason for their deaths. Not to mention, he glanced at his little cousin who was eating without a care for the world. It must be something that was related to her since she disappeared quite fast yesterday.

However, he chose to stay silent.

"More than half are ordinary people, but it's clear that they're people who tried to escape last night." Nan Luo took the piece of meat and chewed. His grandfather had more information, so naturally Nan Luo gained more than Feng Ao Si. "Right now, the criminal division is trying to figure out their identities because it's clear that they have some information written on bamboo strips they carried."

"Spies?" Feng Ao Si was stunned.

"Possibly, but we're not sure who they were for."

Nan Hua glanced at her twin brother. She didn't expect that they would know about this point so soon. But thinking about it, these people might not be able to escape with their lives, so at the very least, they had to deliver the message.

And unfortunately, skin was more expensive, so bamboo strips became more popular to write things.

"General Chi is the one in charge too with his son."

"I heard that Young Commander Chi wants to pay a visit here to have a spar with you." Nan Luo grinned as he looked at Feng Ao Si.

Feng Ao Si rolled his eyes. "He won't have the time."

"But as another young commander, don't you have to work too?"

"Me? I'm only 100 men commander." Feng Ao Si smiled bitterly. It was not really a great achievement as he didn't manage to rise in ranks lately. "Young Commander Chi is already a 1000 men commander. Our ranks are completely different."

Nan Luo's mouth opened like a fish to the point that an egg might be able to be stuffed there. He had completely forgotten that even though they were all called as commanders because of their small ranks, there were actually many different commanders.

In fact, it was not that weird considering that there were no formal military ranks yet. They could only be either called Captain, Commander, or General. Thus, behind the commander would be the number of soldiers under them.

In the Capital City, it was not often mentioned.

However, now that they were going the frontline soon, this kind of thing would often be mentioned.

"Young Commander Chi is much older than you. You'll be able to do better in the future," Nan Luo consoled.

It was not wrong. Young Commander Chi, Chi Song Lian, was 4 years older compared to Feng Ao Si. If they wanted to compare to someone, it would be better for Feng Ao Si to compare with Long Qian Xing who was around the same age or Shangguan Yi.

Oh wait, Shangguan Yi was not even a proper commander because of his uselessness. It would be a waste of time to be compared to that stuck up young master.

The other young commander was Shangguan Xiao, but he was around the same age as Chi Song Lian, thus making the competition somewhat different. After all, there were actually several other young commanders but they were not as brilliant as Long Qian Xing who was currently rising in ranks very quickly.

By now, Long Qian Xing was already a 300 men commander.

If he managed to successfully helped them to win the next war, advancing to become a 500 men commander would be highly possible.

"I'll surpass all of them soon." Nan Luo snorted.

"You?" Feng Ao Si looked at his cousin as he smirked. "When you finally join the military, I would have reached ranks that you can never hope to reach."

"No way! I'll surely defeat you sooner or later! Your only advantage is that you're older but you're weaker than me!"

"Say that again!"

"You're weaker…"

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Somehow, the two of them took out wooden swords and began to spar against each other. Those who were watching could only shake their head and let the two young master have fun with each other.

Forget it, they would not disturb these youth's fun game.

Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai tacitly agreed not to bother with those two.
