Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 55

General Lan didn't answer and turned to look at Long Qian Xing and Emperor Yang Zhou. "Would you like to proceed with the plan?"

"Yes."

"Alright. General Nan, there are several routes into the palace but these hidden passages are guarded. I would like you to guide His Majesty though the right side's path to the main hall."

"Why the main hall?" Old Master Nan looked at the map carefully.

"That's because by morning, the second prince will surely call the other ministers to the main hall. We would like to prevent him from holding the morning court that's supposed to stop for the time being." General Lan gritted his teeth.

It was vexing, but as the weather grew colder, it become harder and harder to even move around. This plan of pushing the Emperor out of the palace was in order to make sure that the second prince could get his influence back.

After all, he was of a more 'nobler' birth compared to Emperor Yang Zhou.

"I see."

Old Master Nan looked at Emperor Yang Zhou and cupped his fist. "If you would like to trust me, I'll bring you to the right side path. However, I would not be able to help you with any battle."

It was not like Old Master Nan didn't want to help, but he was not allowed to use any martial arts for the time being. The last battle against a great general at the frontline had caused his arms to be injured. While he still could walk like normal, he was not allowed to use martial arts until he was fully healed.

Recklessly using martial arts at his age would only cause his wounds to worsen and eventually led him to be unable to use martial arts again.

"Can you protect yourself?" Long Qian Xing asked.

"Yes."

"Then, that's enough." Long Qian Xing smiled. "Your presence alone would create deterrence against the enemies."

"Grandpa didn't have to fight, I can fight on your behalf." Nan Luo snorted.

"Young Master… you can just leave it to me." Hou Liang's lips twitched at Nan Luo's reckless remark. He felt that the little brat would surely create trouble when they were inside. The problem was whether his presence would be able to be of help or not. After all, no matter how good Nan Luo was, he was still nothing more than a 9 years old brat.

"I can fight!"
