Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 535 Heng Xing City

　　The distance between the Capital City and Heng Xing City was quite far. Nan Hua wouldn’t be able to reach it even if she were to ride the horse for the entire day and night. Not to mention, she was not using the main road because she couldn’t allow herself to meet with anyone.

At least, not for now.

Taking some breaks from time to time on the way, Nan Hua finally arrived in Heng Xing City. But at this time, she heard that the battle had started at the frontline and Han Zhong City was already being taken over.

”Young Miss, this way.” Fei Mao used the identity card he had prepared for them. At the same time, he was acting as her guard while Nan Si was silently following from behind and said nothing.

Nan Hua put on the veil she had prepared and walked inside. Her black obsidian eyes were observing the situation in front of her at the fastest speed possible. She didn’t want to allow anyone to take advantage of her when she hadn’t familiarized herself with the environment.

It didn’t take long for her to notice the increase of citizen inside.

’They’re already starting to take refugee here. Wind City won’t be in good condition soon.’

”Take me to my aunt’s location.”

”Yes, Young Miss.”

Fei Mao had made the inquiry with the people who were stationed in Heng Xing City the moment they walked inside. The information was coded, but he quickly passed it to Nan Hua because he was sure that she could understand the content very well.

Taking the bamboo sticks, Nan Hua took a glance then crushed it with her fingers easily. It snapped into two and then tucked deep into her clothes as if there was nothing at all. Her practiced movement told others that this was not the first time she did something like this.

Her footsteps showed no sign of changing as she walked towards the separate courtyard areas.

”Ah Qian, are you hungry?”

The familiar soothing voice traveled to Nan Hua’s ear. She stood beside the wall, not taking another steps.

”Maa…”

”Ah Qian is really smart,” Nan Si Qiao said in a delightful tone. “You’ve learned how to talk so early. If only your brothers are here, I’ll surely let them see you.”

”Maa…”

The voice of the child and the mother was filled with laugh. It was so heartwarming for others and even the light in Nan Hua’s eyes turned a shade calmer. The other two who followed her didn’t dare to disturb her in the slightest bit.

They all knew Nan Hua’s capabilities and the fact that she was simply staying low most of the time.

If she wanted to, it would be easy for her to be the most dazzling star in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom.

”Let’s go.”

Fei Mao was stunned.

He thought that Nan Hua would want to stay there for a long period of time and even met with Nan Si Qiao directly. But from the way it looked like, she didn’t even stay there for long and had already left. Didn’t she want to meet with her aunt?

Oh wait, she came here in incognito. There was no way she could possibly show her real identity in front of Nan Si Qiao when she was not even here in her real identity.

It was impossible.

Nan Hua swiftly walked towards the officials’ building. Her steps didn’t falter in the slightest bit as she walked towards the alleyway and blend in the darkness. A cloak was already prepared inside one of the baskets. Nan Hua took it directly, donning it on and put the hood.

The other two followed her. Their movement was swift without any trace of surprise. Everything had been prepared from the very beginning, so they were simply ready to use what was already there.

”Fei Mao, head back first and prepare everything.”

”Yes, Young Miss.”

”Nan Si, follow me from a distance.”

”Yes, Young Miss.”

The two of them began to move while Nan Hua sneaked into the residence in front of her. it was an unfamiliar residence, but Nan Hua had seen the layout that her subordinate showed to her in the past. She swiftly moved across the area, being careful enough to make sure that no one would be able to see her.

Swish!

Nan Hua landed in the side of a room and silently sneaked inside through the window. She could see a man in his midtwenties was working hard alone. A large stack of bamboo scrolls was stacked in front of him.

Those who looked at this scene would know that the man was basically overworking himself.

”Zhang Dan Shui.”

The man, Zhang Dan Shui, quickly stood up. He looked in Nan Hua’s direction and directly saluted in her direction. “Young Miss.”

”Have you prepared everything?”

”The road and the houses are ready. We’ve already taken the people who need refugee in. However, the areas might be a bit crowded and will be a bit uncomfortable for them.” For the past five years, Zhang Dan Shui already made those slightly poor houses in a large number and allowed local farmer to use them.

Now that there were a large number of refugee, some farmers had to squeeze in. It might be a bit uncomfortable, but there were more than enough places.

”The road outside?”

”I have already connected everything you asked me to connect.” Zhang Dan Shui walked towards the skin scroll and unfurled it on the table. “Please inspect it, Young Miss.”

The skin was the map that Zhang Dan Shui had prepared and marked with every instruction that Nan Hua had given him. Even though it was a bit difficult, he managed to finish everything well.

Nan Hua looked at the map. The road, the farm, the buildings, and everything were already marked by Zhang Dan Shui. Nan Hua nodded silently. It seemed that she didn’t pick the wrong person.

”Good. Once the war is over, you can return to the Capital City.”
