There were many people who wanted Nan Hua to die.
And now that there were assassins coming, it was estimated that this matter hadn't changed at all even now.
Though, there were possibilities that they came here for Long Qian Xing.
Either way, the two of them had been targeted by assassins countless times in the past that it was common for the servants to see this scene. It was only because Ran hadn't followed Nan Hua close enough that she was not used to this scene.
The others, even Xiao Yun, was already used to it.
"Um." Ran could only nod her head.
After seeing Ran's situation, the others didn't pay attention and quickly helped to clean up the mess.
Nan Hua waited for food at the side, watching Long Ai Ning's action. She felt that Long Ai Ning's skills had gotten even better lately. Moreover, she could see the joy in Long Ai Ning's eyes when she was handling the ingredients.
After all, she had more options to pick after they came back to the Long Family Residence.
Nan Hua looked in Long Ai Ning's direction for a moment before turning her head to look at Long Qian Xing who had come back.
"Is it done?"
"Yep." Long Qian Xing nodded with a smile. "They're some people from Fan Yi Kingdom who are lurking around."
Hearing this, Nan Hua nodded.
Fan Yi Kingdom had only integrated into Fei Yang Kingdom for a few months and there were still some people who were dissatisfied with this matter. Even if they didn't make big trouble, they would make some small moves.
It was just…
Who in their right mind would attack a general?
Even if Nan Hua was present and there was no record of her fighting under her own name, they should have known that Long Qian Xing was not that easy to deal with.
"Local family?" Nan Hua asked.
"Yes." Long Qian Xing nodded. "They have their own private army and has been developing in Fan Yi Kingdom for a while. Now that Fei Yang Kingdom is in power, the official wanted to take back some of their business and land."
Business and land could be said to be extremely important. Many people worked hard for their entire life just so that they could live better and these businesses and lands were the result of their hard work.
They also wanted to live these businesses and lands for their descendants.
But when the new official came to office, he took back these businesses and land because of various rules.
How could the local forces not panic?
Some of them could accept it because they didn't lose much and could still keep their lives. But some others have their lifeblood directly cut, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
There were some people who couldn't accept it and rebel.
The small scale rebellions were put down even before a day has passed but those with more people might become bigger if it was not dealt with quickly. There were even some of them who operated secretly and only appeared obedient on the surface but they had transferred their power somewhere else.
In any case, it was not that easy to deal with these people.
