The distance between the Capital City and Heng Xing City was quite far. Nan Hua wouldn't be able to reach it even if she were to ride the horse for the entire day and night. Not to mention, she was not using the main road because she couldn't allow herself to meet with anyone.
At least, not for now.
Taking some breaks from time to time on the way, Nan Hua finally arrived in Heng Xing City. But at this time, she heard that the battle had started at the frontline and Han Zhong City was already being taken over.
"Young Miss, this way." Fei Mao used the identity card he had prepared for them. At the same time, he was acting as her guard while Nan Si was silently following from behind and said nothing.
Nan Hua put on the veil she had prepared and walked inside. Her black obsidian eyes were observing the situation in front of her at the fastest speed possible. She didn't want to allow anyone to take advantage of her when she hadn't familiarized herself with the environment.
It didn't take long for her to notice the increase of citizen inside.
'They're already starting to take refugee here. Wind City won't be in good condition soon.'
"Take me to my aunt's location."
"Yes, Young Miss."
Fei Mao had made the inquiry with the people who were stationed in Heng Xing City the moment they walked inside. The information was coded, but he quickly passed it to Nan Hua because he was sure that she could understand the content very well.
Taking the bamboo sticks, Nan Hua took a glance then crushed it with her fingers easily. It snapped into two and then tucked deep into her clothes as if there was nothing at all. Her practiced movement told others that this was not the first time she did something like this.
Her footsteps showed no sign of changing as she walked towards the separate courtyard areas.
"Ah Qian, are you hungry?"
The familiar soothing voice traveled to Nan Hua's ear. She stood beside the wall, not taking another steps.
"Maa…"
"Ah Qian is really smart," Nan Si Qiao said in a delightful tone. "You've learned how to talk so early. If only your brothers are here, I'll surely let them see you."
"Maa…"
The voice of the child and the mother was filled with laugh. It was so heartwarming for others and even the light in Nan Hua's eyes turned a shade calmer. The other two who followed her didn't dare to disturb her in the slightest bit.
They all knew Nan Hua's capabilities and the fact that she was simply staying low most of the time.
If she wanted to, it would be easy for her to be the most dazzling star in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom.
"Let's go."
Fei Mao was stunned.
