Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 781: Emperor Yang Zhou’s Inauguration (5)

Long Qian Xing had reached his area. His men were already told to make sure that there was no one who could get out of the encirclement. He would not let them ruin Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration.     

He closed his eyes for a moment before the look in his eyes turned dull for a moment. Capturing even the slightest bit of movement from his environment, this allowed him to also calculate the best move as fast as possible.     

"You, head over there and settle the group. There's a child trapped in the house. You told them to block the passageway on the…."     

String of orders came out of Long Qian Xing's mouth before he moved towards the encirclement. His eyes returned to normal as he swung his sword towards the person who made trouble in front of him.     

They had already paid attention to some people whom they suspected to be spies from other kingdoms. However, it was hard to determine whether they were truly enemies or not just based on the few information he had.     

It was why many of them were simply 'under watch.'     

Today, they were all revealing their fangs.     

"It's a good day to clean up."     

Swish! Slash!     

Another group of people charged towards Long Qian Xing when they realized that he was the leader. Even if their skill couldn't match him, they could at least overpower him through sheer number.     

It was not that hard.     

At least, it was supposed to be that way.     

Swish! Swish!     

Moving between their attacks, Long Qian Xing drew his sword and slashed through the man. Sidestepping to the side, Long Qian Xing attacked once more. His movement was fluid like water and all that could be seen were bodies dropping one by one.     

Slash! Thud!     

Slash! Thud!     

Pile of bodies formed on the path Long Qian Xing treaded.     

Not far from him, Long Xu was giving order to keep things in line. Seeing Long Qian Xing approaching and the river of blood formed behind him, his lips twitched. For some reason, he felt as if he was seeing the king of hell making his way towards him.     

'That's just Young Master.'     

Long Xu took a deep breath and reported, "Young Master, we have already detained the people and prevent them from running beyond the circle. There's no report of the inner city got attacked from the people here."     

"That's good."     

Long Qian Xing swung his sword and killed a man who charged towards him. He looked at the group of civilian behind the soldiers and his lips formed a thin line. If those people tried to pretend to be innocent, they should never try it in front of him.     

"Drag him out." Long Qian Xing pointed with his sword.     

The crowd was stunned when the man was dragged out. He yelled, "What are you doing? I'm just a normal citizen!"     

"Normal citizen?"         

Long Qian Xing snorted and the soldier beside him had already seized the man, preventing him from moving. After that, they searched his body and rummaged through his clothes. A bamboo scroll was easily procured.     

The soldier naturally would not take a look at it and gave it to Long Qian Xing directly.     

Opening the scroll, Long Qian Xing's lips curled up. "Such a good idea. Too bad that you won't have a chance to execute it, Han Zhang from Wei Da Kingdom."     

"You…"     

Slash!     

The man was killed directly. Long Qian Xing couldn't afford to allow any of them to stay alive for the time being. Besides, there was no need for him to interrogate them when there was already such clear information in his hand.     

He looked at the scroll and at the man, shaking his head at the thought of how stupid these people were.     

Even if they wanted to frame someone, they should pick better method.     

'But this mean that someone knows about this skill I have.'     

Long Qian Xing's eyes deepened while the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. Whoever they were, he would face them.     

He's not afraid at all.     

His life has always been in danger no matter where he was, so he had to be prepared for these people coming. Adding a few chips in their hands and having them knew a few more things from him wouldn't change things too much.     

He had already used his ability a tad bit too much lately.     

There was no doubt that some people caught wind about it and wanted to get the advantage of this knowledge to pin him down.     

A pity.     

They didn't know his real limit and ability.     

"Continue your work."     

"Yes!"     

There were still a lot of things to do.     

…     

The soldiers were all standing to guard the palace. During this important day, no amount of soldiers would be enough to guard the entire area. Some people were pacing back and forth, trying to ease their nervousness.     

Nan Hua was standing at the side, watching the soldiers calmly.     

No matter what mission it was, she could always adjust her state to the best. Because only when she was in her best state would she be able to perform and finish her mission to the fullest and keep her life save.     

In those many 'impossible' mission, she had brushed with death for so many times that she no longer felt nervous no matter what mission it is.         

"There are commotion at the north side!" The soldiers received the report from another soldier who rushed in.     

The north side was breached and naturally some soldiers or mercenaries or troublemakers were pouring into the Capital City. The wall in the Capital City was made to be of several layer, making it difficult for people to breach inside.     

But while it was difficult, it was not completely impossible.     

There had to be some people working from inside who helped these people to breach into the Capital City.     

Nan Hua, who was previously standing still, charged forward.     

Before anyone could react, her figure had disappeared.     

Swish!     

"That's…" the soldier who gave report was dumbfounded. He looked in the direction where Nan Hua had disappeared to before turning to look at his comrade.     

Was that really a speed that human could achieve?     

He couldn't even follow it with his eyes.     

His comrades were even more dumbfounded. They thought that Nan would stay silent and only helped in this area, but they didn't expect for the youth to directly barge towards the area when there was trouble right away.     

No, they thought that they would travel together.     

But judging from that speed… it didn't seem to be plausible at all.     

"What are you dilly dallying for? Form a small team to go!" The captain was also shocked, but he tried to contain his shock. When he saw how fast Nan was, he firmly believed that the piece of news about how Nan almost killed a River General was true.     

With that kind of speed… infiltrating an army didn't seem to be that impossible.     

Though, it would only for a period of time before the others caught up.     

"Yes!"     

Swish!     

Nan Hua knew that one of the sides would be breached, but she was not sure which one because the placement of the people had changed. Long Qian Xing was originally placed at the west, but now he was placed at the south.     

Wherever he was placed, Nan Hua was sure that the area from Long Qian Xing wouldn't be breached.     

But she was not sure whether it was the north or the west that would be breached this time because of the commander's lack of experience. And now it seemed that the answer was the north.     

Tp.     

The moment Nan Hua arrived, she could see that the soldiers were trying to form a barrier while horse riding people tried to charge over. The people on the way were running here and there, trying to get away from the horses.     

Some unfortunate ones were kicked by the horses while the luckier ones managed to get away and tripped on the road.     

Bang!         

The soldiers held the shield, trying to block the horses before they could get closer to the palace. This might be the back courtyard and there were forest, but the soldiers still wanted to stop them before they entered the forest.     

The reason was because it was harder for them to chase anyone who got into the small forest. It was filled with many places where these group of people could hide.     

"I'll go first!"     

One of them jumped as the horse he rode crashed onto the barrier from the soldier. He jumped to the nearby roof and then agile evaded the soldier in watch over there and leapt towards the edge of the forest.     

His eyes revealed his ecstasy for being able to cross the barrier easily.     

But his happiness didn't last long.     

Slash!     

Something flashed before him before it cut through his throat. The man couldn't even say anything as his body fell to the ground. His brain had not processed what had happened that could cause him to lose his life so easily.     

Nan Hua stood there, looking at the group of people who were trying their best to jump by making use of the horses' dead bodies.
