Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 315 – True Reason

Slash!

After getting the necessary information, the man died out of blood loss. It was not like they didn't want to save him but they didn't have enough equipment and medication. Only the woman was still alive, but she couldn't move.

Even speaking was extremely difficult. If not for Feng Ao Kuai pressing her accupoint to allow her to speak, she might not even be able to answer their question at all.

"What are you planning to do with her?" Long Qian Xing asked.

If he was the one who caught her, he would have proceeded with the formal things to do. But since the one who caught her was Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai, he had to follow what they wanted to do.

"We'll hand him to my father," Feng Ao Kuai replied.

Long Qian Xing nodded. "That's a good idea."

"Are we going back to Wind City?"

"Yes, the carriages will be ready soon." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua in Nan Luo's embrace. He hesitated a bit before he pointed at Nan Hua. "Can I… treat her wound first?"

"Hua'er is wounded?" Nan Luo was stunned.

"I think so."

Hearing that, even Feng Ao Kuai was anxious and began to look around Nan Hua's body to find out what injury she had. Looking at how anxious they were, Feng Ao Si was utterly speechless.

Didn't they see that she was perfectly fine seeing that her breathing was normal?

Also, Grandfather had taught them to bear with pain, right?

Why did they have to treat her as if she was such a fragile girl, ah?

Feng Ao Si felt that he would never be able to understand what was in his cousin and younger brother's mind.

Long Qian Xing didn't wait for Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai to finish their examination. He looked at Nan Hua's right hand and pulled it over for him to look. As he had expected, part of her skin was peeled off because she was writing on that bamboo stick.

After thinking for a bit, Long Qian Xing tore a part of his robe and bandaged Nan Hua's finger slowly.

Nan Luo frowned but said nothing. He actually wanted to do that too, but he was holding Nan Hua tightly so that she would not be sleeping on the ground. Thus, he could only glare at Long Qian Xing but said nothing in the end.

Feng Ao Kuai was the only one who was glaring daggers at Long Qian Xing. He then recalled the bamboo stick that they found along with the piece of cloth.

It seemed that the wound must have come from there.

His heart ached when he thought about that as he looked at Nan Hua, who was sleeping in his arms. In order to make sure that they would not be suspicious when she was checked by doctors, Nan Hua inhaled a large amount of that sleeping something.

He hoped that there wouldn't be any complication whatsoever.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

When they returned to Wind City, the woman was handed to Feng Qian Shao to interrogate with Feng Ao Kuai tailing behind him. The boy wanted to make sure that the woman didn't say anything unnecessary. Besides, the story of how 'Nan Luo' saved Nan Hua and Princess Yue had to be kept under wrap.

Princess Yue was handed to General Chi and then sent to an inn in order to recuperate. They made sure that they picked the best doctor to make sure that there wouldn't be anything that happened to her.

On the other hand, Long Qian Xing went to Feng Family Residence with Nan Luo. Thanks to the messenger they sent not long ago, Old Master Nan knew that they would go back soon.

"You don't have to come."

"It's saver for me to accompany you." Long Qian Xing glanced at Nan Hua in Nan Luo's arm and sighed. "Take care of her. Don't roam around the street aimlessly anymore."

"I won't."

If not because they wanted to see Princess Yue's entourage, they would not have walked out of the carriages. And in the Capital City, an incident like this should never happen because they couldn't even roam freely. Only in smaller cities that was not really strict like Wind City could it be possible.

Long Qian Xing stopped by Feng Family Residence. "There won't be any rumors about her. You can be sure of that."

"Thank you." Nan Luo naturally knew that if rumors were to spread, it would affect Long Qian Xing too. After all, it was quite a big deal for a young unmarried young lady to be kidnapped and her condition unknown for a long period of time.

In addition, they would have to concern themselves with Princess Yue's reputation.

After giving another look at Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing walked away to follow the rest of the procedure. He didn't want to leave any loopholes from this matter. Thankfully, those who came with him this time were his men whom he could trust better than the rest.

"Commander, are we going back?" one of the soldier asked.

Long Qian Xing shook his head. "How's the maidservants? Have you asked the result of the interrogation?"

"They're tough nut to crack but we manage to open their mouth." The other one grinned. He waved his hand. "Commander, you wouldn't believe how meticulous their plan was."

"Heh."

Long Qian Xing laughed dryly and went to the place where Feng Qian Shao interrogated the woman. Feng Ao Kuai noticed him coming and nodded before focusing on the woman once more.

Lin Xiang.

That was her name.

As Feng Ao Kuai had suspected, the woman was his aunt's sister. She came here under the order of kidnapping Princess Yue back in order to make the Emperor give their family more benefit.

Lin Family used to enjoy a lot of privilege and power until a few decades ago when they started to decline.. And it was during this period of time that it happened.
