Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 854: Guard Zhang

Instead, they pretended that they didn't see anything. The weather today was very clear and nice.     

Rubbing her forehead, Nan Hua felt that the letter that she had sent might as well be fed for dogs. Her twin brother didn't even bother to read what she had told him and still insisted to search for her.     

Really.     

Even though Nan Hua was silently complaining about her twin brother's stupidity, her eyes grew slightly gentler. It was clear that whatever her twin brother did was actually something that she liked.     

After some time, Old Master Nan walked back with the limpid Nan Luo. It seemed that Old Master Nan had truly beaten Nan Luo squarely to make sure that the brat would not do anything bad.     

"What brings you here, Luo?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.     

"I'm just worried." Nan Luo pursed his lips. He took a glance at Nan Hua then looked away. In truth, he did get the letter, but the rumors were simply too disparaging, making him didn't know which one he should believe.     

He didn't feel any pain, though.     

So he could guess that Nan Hua was fine.     

But what if their connection with each other disappeared because she was too heavily wounded? This made Nan Luo so worried.     

In the end, he woke up early in the morning and ordered Xiao Yan to take care of the things there while he himself dashed towards the Capital City. It was the turn of events that finally led to him reaching this place and got beaten by Old Master Nan now.     

As for Nan Shu Cheng? Nan Luo honestly no longer felt anything for him. Unlike Old Master Nan who had a lot of good memories, he only remembered the days when he was tasked to study and the rumors he heard about his father. That was the main reason why he wanted to be an official.     

But his father never truly taken care of him directly.     

So, Nan Luo didn't really have any affection for his so called father. And with the past few years spent outside, he could barely remember that person anymore.     

Thus, he basically didn't care that much.     

What he cared is his twin sister.     

"It's fine, we'll find her." Feng Ao Kuai patted Nan Luo's shoulder.     

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Kuai for a moment before nodding his head. He felt that this was nothing more than a drama that Nan Hua prepared, but he was willing to play with her.     

It didn't matter what identity she assumed.     

As long as his sister is safe and well, Nan Luo didn't care what name he had to use to call the other party.     

"Where are you going now?" Nan Luo asked.     

"Back to our post. Grandfather will be staying with Mother for the time being." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo.     

With Aunt?     

Nan Luo thought about Nan Si Qiao and then nodded his head. If he was not wrong, his little cousin would be starting to learn how to talk soon and probably even more? He was not sure what kind of education little children had.     

When he was a kid…         

He didn't even remember when he first learned how to write and all.     

It has been quite a long time was all that he remembered.     

"Go back to your post with Ao Kuai." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and sighed. "When you have finished your task, go to Heng Xing City. Nan Si Qiao must have missed you two a lot."     

"Yes, Grandfather."     

As they were about to walk away, Old Master Nan then recalled something. "Nan Luo, come with me for some time."     

"Yes?" Nan Luo thought that he would be going to his post directly. However, his grandfather's words told him that he wanted him to follow the other party first.     

"There's someone I would like you to meet first in Heng Xing City."     

"..."     

Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were speechless.     

Fine.     

They decided to follow Old Master Nan's arrangement with reason that he asked them to accompany him because he would be exploding if they didn't follow him. The others who listened to his reason felt like their eyelids were twitching so badly.     

Even Governor Zhang, Zhang Dan Shui, was so speechless that he didn't want to talk with Old Master Nan anymore. In terms of giving such an awesome reason, there wouldn't be anyone who could compare with Old Master Nan.     

They would definitely decide that the best winner in life was Old Master Nan.     

In any case, the group of four reached a secluded courtyard. There were only a few people who lived there.     

"Why are we here, Grandpa?" Nan Luo asked in confusion.     

"There's someone I would like you to meet." Old Master Nan simply repeated the same explanation he gave them before.     

The two of them were speechless.     

Fine, if you don't want to talk, they would not ask him more.     

They continued to walk towards that small building. It was then they noticed a middle aged man in the distance, not far from the entrance to the garden. He was skinny and had a rather ordinary face. However, his face looked a bit familiar.     

"Guard Zhang?" Nan Luo was the first one to recognize him.     

Feng Ao Kuai frowned.     

Nan Hua looked at the person in front of her. She had seen him not long ago when she paid a visit to the temple, but she hadn't had the time to care about him since then.     

It was not like she didn't want to see him, but it was because she had to take care of other things first.     

Now that she had settled most of the people who wanted her family's destruction in Fei Yang Kingdom, it was time for her to settle the other matter. One of them was naturally related to Guard Zhang.     

Guard Zhang was one of the few guards who came from her mother's maternal family. But on the year of her mother's death, Guard Zhang was kicked out by Nan Shu Cheng. As it had happened before Old Master Nan's return, Nan Hua didn't know about him at all if not for her meeting with him in the temple.         

He disappeared.     

Or more exactly, he was hiding himself in order to not let anyone found him. In the temple back then, he seemed to be trying to leave the Capital City by mingling with the group of refugee who were trying to leave the Capital City five years after the accident.     

At that time, the security had turned lax as not many people would still remember the past incident.     

And it was because of that Nan Hua decided to approach him and left a message.     

Guard Zhang turned his body around when he heard Nan Luo's voice. When he saw the young man who had similar face with Nan Hua and Madam Nan back then, his body trembled.     

Guard Zhang's body shook before tears streamed out of the corner of his eyes. He had never expected that after being kicked out of Nan Family Residence, he would have a chance to meet with the young master again too.     

"Oh Lord in the Heaven, thank you very much for this chance…" Guard Zhang wiped his tears. "Young Master… are… are you fine?"     

"I'm living well, Guard Zhang," Nan Luo answered as he looked at Guard Zhang curiously. "I heard from Fa… bleh, Nan Shu Cheng that you're kicked out because you offend him in some way. I didn't pay much attention at that."     

Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. He was nothing more than a little brat at that time, so he didn't think too much. All that he could remember was that there was a guard who used to protect his mother a lot.     

That guard's surname was Zhang.     

However, he didn't really remember anything much after that.     

"It's fine, Young Master." Guard Zhang was already happy that Nan Luo still remembered him. "Young Master was still young back then. It's not strange for you not to remember anything."     

"Have you been staying here in Heng Xing City?" Nan Luo asked curiously.     

"Yes, I have."     

Guard Zhang looked at the peaceful courtyard and smiled faintly. He didn't think that he would be able to stay in this quiet and small courtyard either. The people here didn't know him, so they would naturally not find any trouble with him.     

He had been practicing martial arts for a long time and after being on the run for such a long time, he finally had the time to train again. This allowed him to look a bit healthier than the last time when Nan Hua saw him.     

"I see." Nan Luo then turned to look at Old Master Nan.     

At this moment, Feng Ao Kuai was staying at the back as if he was nothing more than a guard. His eyes were looking at Guard Zhang carefully as if he was assessing whether this person could be trusted or not.     

After all, it has been such a long time, but Guard Zhang was still alive. Even though he could see that Guard Zhang was not exactly living well, he wouldn't completely trust the other party.     

Suspicion was important in order to survive.     

And Feng Ao Kuai knew that the person who actually distrust Guard Zhang the most was no one other than Nan Hua.     

"Guard Zhang, tell me more about what happened to my daughter in law." Old Master Nan sighed and then turned to Nan Luo.     

The real reason why he wanted to meet Guard Zhang was none other than because he wanted Nan Luo to hear his story from his own mouth. Compared to the report, it was naturally more detailed.     

"Yes, Great General Nan."
