Chapter 403 Decision

Chapter 403 Decision

The two of them traveled through the alleyway quietly. It was dawn, so there were not many people who were already awake aside from those who were working at night. Some soldiers who had night shift were yawning and looked like they could hit the bed almost immediately and fell asleep instantly.

They were tired.

It was nearing the time to change shift.

Tep!

Stopping in one of the barracks, Nan Luo looked at the group of people who had just woken up in front of them. The soldiers were washing up since they would soon have work to do.

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes were solemn. He didn't dare to get close to these people because of their overwhelming number.

"Should I approach them openly?" Nan Luo asked.

"Even if you try to be discreet, I don't think it's going to be effective."

"….True."

Nan Luo was still feeling a bit nervous, but he pushed down all the feelings in his heart as he stepped forward. His gaze now landed on the group of soldiers in front of him.

"Hey!"

When he called out, several soldiers in front of him stopped doing whatever they were doing. They turned their head to the back, confused why Nan Luo would suddenly call for them. In their eyes, he was nothing more than a little brat.

"What do you want, Little Brat?"

"Are you lost?"

"His clothes didn't seem to be coming from the poor family…"

"Oh, right."

Nan Luo looked at the group of soldiers in front of him. Seeing how they were still looking relaxed, he had a feeling that these people didn't know the truth of the Hai Family in front of them.

"Do you know that Hai Family is planning rebellions?" Nan Luo asked in a loud voice.

This voice instantly caused silence.

The soldiers were all looking at each other with horror on their faces. Many of them didn't know about that. Their superiors only told them that they were only going to have a battle so they have to be prepared.

Right now, they were in state of confusion and fear.

Everyone knew the price they had to pay as rebels.

Their lives and their beloved lives.

"No way!"

"How can it be possible for Hai Family to stage a rebellion!"

"I can't believe that."

Nan Luo looked at the row of soldiers in front of him before he took out a small token from his pocket. It was written with the word 'Nan' on top of it. This was the token of identity that he always carried with him as it represented him as the First Young Master of Nan Family.

"My name is Nan Luo, I'm the First Grandson of Great General Nan. I swore to the Heaven that what I said is the truth because right now, there are countless people who had lost their lives in Hai Family Residence." Nan Luo's expression was completely solemn.

Despite only 12 years old, it was clear that he didn't even have an ounce of childishness when he talked about this matter. it was as if he was a veteran at war and also a leader who was talking to his people.

"No way…"

"As you have known before, there are a lot of people who had come to pay their respect to Empress Dowager Hai." Nan Luo took a deep breath. "However, many of them were forced to switch sides to Hai Family with their loved ones in the hand of the Hai Family. They had no other choice but to follow them for their rebellions.

Are you all going to help them so that Fei Yang Kingdom can have legitimate reason to massacre your entire family?"

Nan Luo's last sentence was very cold and ruthless. It was as if the temperature was forcefully brought down several dozens of degrees with just him saying that. The aura around him had completely changed.

Even Feng Ao Kuai was startled. For some reason, he felt that he could see his grandfather's image in his cousin.

'It seems that Luo really did inherit most of Grandfather's trait.'

The soldiers were unable to answer.

They were all stood rooted in their place, unable to answer at all. They knew very well that if they continued on this path, they would lose their families. However, they also cling to the hope that the rebellion might succeed.

After all, some of them were bound here with their loved ones still in the hands of the Hai Family.

"You sure talk a lot for a little brat," A soldier mocked from the side. "Do you really think that we will believe that you're so powerful and anything just because you say so? Would someone like you even manage to escape from the Hai Family if they decided to kill you."

"Why don't you try?" Nan Luo asked back, still standing in his place.

At the back, Xiao Yan resisted the urge to step forward to help Nan Luo. For some reason, he felt that he wanted to believe on Nan Luo and that his young master would be able to deal with all the soldiers here.

Since they had to make sure that the soldiers followed them, Nan Luo chose to take this bet.

"Don't be overconfident!"

Swish!

The soldier rushed forward with his sword in his hand, attempting to attack Nan Luo as fast as possible. However, Nan Luo had long noticed that he was coming as he side stepped to the side and brandished his sword right when he was by the soldier's side.

Slash!

The sword cleanly cut the side of the soldier's stomach amidst the gaze filled with disbelief.

"No…No way…"

"You're in such a hurry to kill me." Nan Luo looked at the soldier with bone chilling gaze. "Don't you know that killing the first heir of Nan Family will result in your and your family members' death? Are you that desperate to make sure that you can erase any eyewitness of Hai Family?"
