"Tch, I'm just suggesting for us to walk around for a bit! You're so stingy!" Nan Luo complained when he saw Hou Liang would not allow them to walk around. Crossing his hands in annoyance, Nan Luo could only stay in his place.
"Young Master, do you know that if we're staying outside for a longer period of time, it'll be late? Night time is very dangerous outside." Hou Liang was getting a bit cranky as well. Facing the mischievous Nan Luo, even he would lose his patience.
Nan Luo pursed his lips.
While the duo was arguing, Nan Hua was considering whether to make the first move against those spy in the forest or not. They were not the hidden guards from Nan Family but some strangers who were watching the people who passed by this path.
Was the broken wheel due to their interference?
But why did they not make their move?
Klip! Klop!
The faint sound of horse stepping reached Nan Hua's ear. She looked at the back as a procession was coming close. From this distance, she could see that there were at least several people who were riding horse.
And their attire… they were soldiers.
"Hua'er, what are you looking at?"
"Miss, are you tired?" Xiao Yun also asked.
"No, there are people coming."
"Oh?" Hou Liang turned his head. The people behind them were still a distance away but his eyes could recognize them easily. A faint smile formed at the corner of his lips, yet it didn't reach his eyes. "It's General Chi and his son. If I'm not wrong, they're assigned to guard Her Highness in Yi Shang Temple."
General Chi.
There were several generals in Fei Yang Kingdom but only a few of them were truly worthy of the title. General Chi was one of them, but they didn't have good relationship with Nan family. In fact, it could be said that the two families often traded blows even in the battlefield.
The reason?
It was because General Chi came from different kingdoms a few decades ago. Even though he said that he would stay loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom for their entire life, it was hard to believe. In this warring era, the exiled generals would often move to other kingdoms because they had lost the place for them to live.
The reason they were exiled were mostly because of a failure. Some other times was betrayal.
It was also due to this that General Nan didn't have too good relationship with General Chi. He had already told his grandchildren to not get too close to this general in the future and avoided him if it was possible.
A mission was… well… a completely different matter.
If it was a mission, they would have no other choice but to cooperate with each other. And at that time, they still had to be careful with each other.
Klep!
"What happened?" A guard from the back asked when they saw Nan Hua's group.
"The carriage wheel is broken, so we take a stop." Hou Liang cupped his fist to show respect. "The road is big enough. If you wish to pass through the side, you may go first."
The guard nodded.
Nan Hua was listening from the back while watching the action of the men in the forest. The arrival of Chi Family was actually pretty good. It would stop her from showing off her real skill under the light.
An assassin should never make a move unless it was absolutely necessary.
The real reason why assassins usually went undercover and would not be found until the very last moment was precisely because they would hide their skills unless it was absolutely necessary. Nan Hua wouldn't want to make a move against these shadows either.
'Or are they people from the Chi Family?'
There was that possibility. Nan Hua only stayed vigilant and didn't try to do anything else. Thankfully, Xiao Yun's inquiry from the side completely allowed her to act as a normal noble lady.
"Miss, if you're tired, how about if this servant finds a spot for you to rest?" Xiao Yun asked softly.
"There's no need."
Xiao Yun looked at Nan Hua helpless. The longer she served Nan Hua, the more Xiao Yun felt that her presence was unnecessary. Nan Hua was stronger than most noble ladies, so naturally, she didn't need as much protection as them.
Even though so, Xiao Yun was determined to serve Nan Hua to the best of her abilities.
"Master, we can take detour and arrive in Yi Shang Temple faster."
"Wait," a lighthearted tone sounded from the back. A horse walked forward and the youth who was riding showed a kind smile. He was in his late teens or early twenties but there was faint brutal aura around him. It was clear that he was someone who had survived the cruel battlefield and make it out alive.
"Young Master Chi?" the guard asked carefully.
Young Master Chi, Chi Song Lian, looked at the group in front of him and smiled. "Aren't there more people who come with us? Do you need any help in repairing the carriage? It'll be faster with more people."
Hou Liang furrowed his brows. He didn't think that it would be appropriate for them to help, but in this situation, he couldn't answer. The one who had to answer was either Nan Luo and Nan Hua.
Nan Luo naturally would not let Nan Hua stepped forward. He looked at Chi Song Lian and cupped his fist. "Many thanks for your generosity, Young Master Chi, but we have all the workers we need. You may go ahead, Young Master Chi."
In other words: Get lost!
Of course, Nan Luo would not be so inhibited in front of Chi Song Lian, but his expression had clearly showed that he didn't want to interact with the young master.
Chi Song Lian chuckled when he saw the deviant expression on Nan Luo's face.. He was not afraid of that brat at all, but the Chi Family had a much more important mission right now.
