Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1073  Assassination 

"You should rest, Young Master," Nan Hua didn't even look at Nan Luo when she answered his inquiry.

Nan Luo was speechless.

This whole thing of them acting as master and servant was incredibly annoying. He really wished that he could just hug Nan Hua and pamper her as he had always done. There was no way he wanted to let her experience hardship.

His heart ached just the thought of having to let Nan Hua slept outside.

"Nan, just stay inside. It's cold outside."

"There's a campfire nearby." Nan Hua pointed at the campfire not far from them. It was still burning well, which provided the necessary heat for her to keep warm.

Nan Luo: "…"

Fine, his twin sister was simply too stubborn.

There was really no one who could make her change her decision once she had decided on something.

He didn't want to provoke her either.

In the end, Nan Luo entered the tent and clean up a bit before resting on the bed. When they were on their way here, Nan Hua still entered her tent, which was right beside his. But this time, she actually guarded outside.

Nan Luo's eyes narrowed.

He could guess that she sensed that there was something wrong.

Putting the sword a bit closer to him, Nan Luo swore to himself that he would wake up whenever there was something wrong.

In the next moment, he fell asleep.

The night was quiet.

Nan Hua was staying near the campfire while watching those people outside their camp calmly. No matter what they were planning to do, she could deal with them. If they were sent to deal with Nan Luo again, she would just kill them.

It had occurred countless times in the past.

To the point that the two of them were already used to see people being sent to kill them.

Swish!

These people suddenly moved towards the crowd.

Nan Hua's eyes opened and her body rushed out. Her black obsidian eyes flickered when she noticed their direction, but she didn't slow down in the slightest bit.

Slash!

The first man was instantly killed.

"Wha…" the second one was only a bit further away. His eyes widened when he saw his friend was killed. He raised his sword to kill the other party, but it missed completely.

Swish!

"Who's your target?" Nan Hua appeared behind him and twisted her sword, using the backside to knock the second man's head.

Thunk!

The second man dropped down to the ground.

Nan Hua looked at the third and also the last person. He was trying to enter a tent and Nan Hua didn't hesitate to threw her own sword.

Stab!

The sword stabbed the third man's heart from the back.

At this time, the third man was staring at the half sword that appeared from his body to the front with disbelief. He was wearing an armor, yet the sword that the other party threw was capable of piercing through his body and armor.

Just how much strength did that person use?

Nan Hua walked to the third man and pulled her sword out. She opened the door to the tent and saw five people inside. The tent was relatively small, so it could only fit up to five people.

And among these five, she could see Jun Shi Lian and Jun Fang.

'Jun Shi Lian is worthless to pay so much money, so the biggest possibility is Jun Fang.'

Nan Hua didn't bother with them anymore and dragged the two dead people out. As for the last one, she handed him to SI Kang, who had woken up due to the slight commotion. Most of the others were still asleep and didn't even know that danger has been so close to them not long ago.

"Adjutant Nan," Si Kang cupped his fist when he saw Nan Hua dragged the second man's body.

"He's trying to kill people inside Jun Fang's tent. Interrogate him to find out which one among those five is his target and who his employer is. You can use any means necessary to obtain information."

Any means necessary?

Si Kang looked at the unconscious man and nodded. "I understand."

Since he could use any means necessary, it also meant that Nan Hua wanted the information. After he had given the information, it didn't matter whether he die or live.

Nan Hua handed the man to Si Kang and then walked to Nan Luo's tent. At this time, Nan Luo had also walked out of his tent with his hand holding his sword. He looked at Nan Hua worriedly.

"Did someone come?"

"You're not the target."

"Huh?" Nan Luo was stunned and then smiled bitterly. He was so used to be the target for assassination that it confused him more when the target was not him. "Who's the target, then?"

"It might be Jun Fang. Si Kang is getting the information from him."

Nan Luo glanced at the side and saw Si Kang was dragging a man out of their campsite. Since it could get ugly and noisy, it would be better to obtain the information from an area a distance away from the campsite.

He looked at them for a moment then shook his head.

It was already late at night.

He better had some sleep for now.

…

As Nan Hua had expected, the man did come for Jun Fang. The one who sent him out was the people from First Jun Family.

It seemed that the rivalry between the two brothers were actually harsher than how it looked like on the outside.

Nan Luo told Jun Fang about it.

And Jun Fang was a bit surprised, but he could accept it. In his opinion, it was not that strange for his uncle to target him because the two families had been at odds for some time.

Jun Fang would be save when they reached the training area.

No one would dare to kill others there.

But on their way, Jun Fang would need to be more careful
