Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 57

"How should we open the door?"

"Use force?" Nan Luo was thinking of just hacking the door with his swords.

Long Qian Xing's lips twitched. He looked at the young brat. "You wouldn't be able to open the door if you do that. This is one of the hardest wood in the entire land, Nan Luo."

"Oh."

"You don't even know such simple knowledge?"

"Shut up!"

Old Master Nan motioned for Hou Liang and the man swiftly kicked the wooden gate and used the force to reach the top. Looking at how effortlessly he did that, the soldiers were stunned.

"Your fame is not without reason, General Nan." Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Hou Liang, who had entered to open the door. The gate was at least fifteen feet tall and to be able to reach such height with martial arts alone already proved that the people around General Nan was not ordinary.

"You're praising me too much, Your Majesty."

"Grandfather asked me to ask for your guidance." Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes flickered when he mentioned about his grandfather. Since he didn't have a chance to meet with Old Master Nan until today, he never asked. "Did he ever say something to you?"

"I will tell you if you succeed in taking back the palace." Old Master Nan didn't immediately answer the young man's inquiry.

"I understand."

The door was opened and Hou Liang pointed in the direction of the main hall. "There are more guards in that direction. They might be coming if we don't hurry."

"Let's go."

The group rushed inside and headed to the door at the side. It was directed to the other side of the area, but at the same time, there was an underground tunnel from here. Long Qian Xing worked and moved the barrel that covered the door.

"There's smell of blood from inside." Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the hole before him. "Your Majesty, please be careful."

"I'll be fine." Emperor Yang Zhou was calm. He nodded and they all quickly jumped down.

Old Master Nan waved his hand. "Hou Liang, protect the entrance with several soldiers. Should they enter through this path, you'll deal with them."

"Yes, General."

"We should hurry. It'll be sunrise soon."

"Yes."

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Long Qian Xing led the way while the others followed behind him. Even though they were running at high speed, Long Qian Xing didn't seem to be worried that they would get lost at all in this dark tunnel.

"Did you know where we're going?" Nan Luo asked.

"I memorized all the escape route." Long Qian Xing didn't even look at Nan Luo as he silently counted the steps.
