Chapter 401 Sneaking in and Sneaking Out

Swish!

Moving covertly, Nan Hua was silently thinking about what she was planning to do. It would be dawn in an incense stick of time, which meant that she didn't really have much time. She was sure that when it was dawn, the soldiers from Hai Family would also start to move and try to engage in the other soldiers stationed not far from here.

It was a genuine rebellion.

'Should I kill them all?'

However, Nan Hua knew that if she started to kill these people without stopping, the smell of blood would be too much. She had to make sure that she managed to infiltrate without letting them know about her presence.

'In that case, I'll kill one by one.'

Swish!

Nan Hua moved towards the guard who stood by himself and her needle pierced his forehead. It was the long needle that she had prepared for instantly killing her enemies when she couldn't shed any blood.

After killing the guard, Nan Hua pulled him in the direction of the temporary quarters where she and her twin brother stayed. This place already reeked of blood, so adding a few more bodies wouldn't make it known.

When she went back, she saw two guards were walking. They were staying vigilant, but it was clear that they were actually also yawning a lot.

They were all very tired.

"Are we really going to take all the officials children here?"

"The others are already doing that."

"Wouldn't it be a problem if they cause trouble?"

"What could a group of helpless children do?"

Nan Hua's finger moved and killed the two guards as she realized that there was another piece of information that she had gotten after roaming around. They were planning on taking the children of the officials who came here to one place.

It meant, they would surely find out that Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were not in their original place.

'Things are not looking that nice.'

Aside from her who had a body double, the others didn't prepare for such thing. How could they expect that the Hai Family was actually paying close attention to their whereabouts?

Nan Hua wanted to warn those two, but she knew that they were already sneaking further away. All she could do was to kill the guards to slow them down in hope that they thought it was Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai who did it.

That way, they wouldn't try to search outside.

Jleb! Thud!

Another guard fell down and Nan Hua pulled them once more. She would eliminate those in Hai Family's side one by one.

…

Slash!

"Another one," Nan Luo muttered as he sheathed his sword back. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai with pitiful expression. "Are we close to the gate yet?"

"Not yet."

While Nan Hua was staying inside, Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo, and their two manservants would head out of Hai Family Residence. The plan sounded good and all when they first thought about it.

But the reality was a bit harsh.

Even though Feng Ao Kuai had already toured Hai Family Residence, the number of guards and their shifts' information was basically incomplete. It was impossible for him to find out everything in such a short period of time.

They were already close to the West Gate.

But… there were a lot of guards over here.

It was not impossible to break their way out, but if they did that, they would be telling others that the two young masters were actually very talented in martial arts and would be a threat to them. How many soldiers belonged to Hai Family in Kuai City?

The number must be in thousands.

If not for that, there was no way they would dare to suddenly announce that they were going to launch a rebellion and massacred so many people in the middle of the night like this.

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai would have no trouble to face a dozens of people as long as they were not monstrously strong like their grandfather. However, if they had to face thousands of soldiers, they wouldn't last long and would end up dropping dead first.

It would the stupidest move to do that.

"We'll wait."

"Wait?" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. "We don't have much time."

"There's no choice." Feng Ao Kuai didn't really want to do this either, but he knew that it would be impossible for them to break through the tightly guarded door. The only choice they have would be waiting for the soldiers to have a shift or that Hai Fa Xia telling them to start moving.

At that time, there would be people coming in and out of the residence.

"They'll find out that we're out."

"It's fine." Feng Ao Kuai was not worried if they found out that Nan Luo and him were missing. He was sure that they would think that they were hiding somewhere since Hai Family Residence was very big. It would not cross their mind directly that the two of them would be escaping.

"We can't get caught." Nan Luo's eyes were filled with determination. He knew very well that if they got caught, their grandfather would be forced to make a compromise. From the bottom of his heart, he would never ever want to see his grandfather in that position.

Ever.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't answer, but his unmoving gaze remained focused had already told Nan Luo the answer they needed.

The two of them had enough rest not long ago since they forced themselves to sleep. Now that they had enough rest, it was fine for them even if they have to lay in ambush for a long period of time.

"It's dawn, Young Master."

Nan Luo shifted his gaze and noticed that light was coming from the east. He then glanced at the guards, who were also moving.

It was the chance they were waiting.

"Head into the side door."

"Yes."

Slash!

The moment they got close, the only guard guarding there was killed. Xiao Yan took the body while Feng Ao Kuai and Si Kang picked the door. Nan Luo pushed the door and the four of them rushed out into the alleyway.
