Chapter 309 – The Foolish Princess

He rubbed his hand on top of the bamboo stick, detecting some crooked words written on it.

His lips twitched when he knew what Nan Hua was writing.

"What is it?"

"Forest."

"Forest?" Long Qian Xing was stunned. Nan Hua really did leave behind a message in the bamboo stick?

In fact, it was not just one word but rather a complete sentence. However, it was impossible for Nan Luo to say this to Long Qian Xing.

'Spies from Zhang Xu Kingdom are taking us into the forest at the north.'

Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his finger on the surface of the bamboo stick and his lips twitched too. His little cousin sister was really…

"Zhang Xu Forest." Feng Ao Kuai simplified it into three words. "Is there any forest that's heading towards Zhang Xu Kingdom?"

Zhang Xu Kingdom?

Long Qian Xing was stunned. They were indeed heading to Zhang Xu Kingdom, but then why did this kidnapping event took place if they ended up heading to Zhang Xu Kingdom?

However, this question should be answered later. "Yes, there's one. In fact, we're going to pass through it tomorrow too."

"Can you lead us there?"

"Aren't you more familiar than him?" Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Kuai in confusion.

Feng Ao Kuai: "…" forgive me, but I rarely go out of the house if Father didn't force me.

Naturally, Feng Ao Si knew why his younger brother looked a bit awkward. "Come on, it's this way."

"Ok."

"Shall we tell Grandfather?"

"Don't tell him." Feng Ao Kuai's face turned grim. The thought of his grandfather overturning the entire Wind City flashed within his mind. He knew very well that if something were to happen to Nan Hua, it was very likely that Old Master Nan would not think of any consequences and might end up offending many people.

Feng Ao Si also nodded his head rapidly. The last time Old Master Nan fell into trap and lost his friend, he had already caused a lot of chaos and nearly waged war with the entire world.

If not for the opponent was oppressed back afterwards, no one knew how the history would be written by now.

Nan Luo took a deep breath, hoping that everything was fine.

On the other hand, Long Qian Xing was looking at the bamboo stick that the children were holding. The cloth that tied into the bamboo stick looked a bit eye catching, which allowed them to find it fast even though it was small. After the cloth was taken off, he could faintly notice a hint of red from the corner of the cloth.

Cold light flashed within Long Qian Xing's eyes.

If Nan Hua truly got hurt because of Princess Yue, he might not be able to settle this peacefully with those kidnappers.

…

*back to some time ago*

Nan Hua was squeezing into the crowd while watching the commotion calmly. In fact, she already knew what would happen, but it would be impossible for her to stop it with her identity. Saying that she knew their plan was absurd. And saying that she wanted to help was also ridiculous. Saying that the maidservants said something would be odd too because this event took place right after they entered Wind City.

There was no time for her to interact with Princess Yue.

It was clear that Princess Yue was also trying to strike while the iron was hot. She was making use of the time when the general and soldiers were all tired after the long journey and hadn't settled yet.

Thus, no one would be able to find her.

Unfortunately, this plan was destined to fail.

Swish!

The moment Nan Hua sensed the movement from the other side, she disappeared from her position and dashed towards the quiet alley. This alleyway was small, which was why the people were not really rushing towards here and only some people were here.

They didn't realize when a small kid had passed by them when they tried to get away.

When she reached the relatively large area, she could see two maidservants… correction, one maidservant and Princess Yue was running in her direction. As First Young Miss Nan, it wouldn't be weird for her to know Princess Yue's face.

"Your Highness?" Nan Hua sounded surprised.

Princess Yue was taken aback when he saw Nan Hua. However, she decisively ignored Nan Hua and tried to rush to the side.

Bang!

It was at this time that several bags worth of sleeping powder was thrown and smashed open. Nan Hua was stunned as she didn't expect that this would be their plan. She stepped forward and grabbed Princess Yue's hand. "Your Highness, we have to leave."

"Ugh…"

The poison kicked in almost instantly. The moment they inhaled even a little bit of it, they would feel drowsy. Nan Hua was not an exception as she could feel her strength weakening while she held her breath. Her current body hadn't undergone that hellish training that would make her immune to most poison.

At most, she had some resistance.

"First Young Miss…"

Thud!

Princess Yue was weak and she fell down without even able to call Nan Hua's name completely.

Nan Hua was helpless and could only act as if she had also fainted. Even though she only inhaled very little because she tried to bring Princess Yue away, her body was indeed weaker right now.

As her body fell to the ground, she drew line on the ground forcefully and took out a wooden carving from her pouch. After that, her hand was busy trying to write on top of the bamboo stick with her slightly long nails.

Several men jumped down and separated the maidservant from the princess. They took a good look at the princess' face to make sure that they would not take the wrong person. At the same time, they noticed Nan Hua was grabbing Princess Yue's hand.

"Who is this kid?"

"First Young Miss Nan." Another man jumped and looked at Nan Hua, who was 'fainted.'

"She'll definitely find out that Princess Yue is here."

"Even without her, the maidservants can't keep the secrets for long. They must know that this foolish princess wants to escape."

"What should we do with her?"

"Take her along." A cold voice sounded. "If we have her, we'll be able to make a secret dealing with Great General Nan."

"Got it."

The men carried the two women and separated their hands carefully.

The man who gave order looked at Nan Hua as his lips curled up to form a smirk. "To think that there'll be a time when I can see Great General Nan's weakness. What a careless girl."

Nan Hua didn't open her eyes while her finger was moving hard to continue writing.

"Let's go back to Zhang Xu Kingdom as fast as possible."

"Alright."

Swish!

The men rushed to escape as fast as possible after they had decided. At this time, Nan Hua ripped part of her sleeve, not noticing that her finger was slightly bleeding due to her forcefully using her nail to write.

As the men who carried her jumped across two house, Nan Hua dropped the bamboo stick.
