Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 78

"Tch, I'm just suggesting for us to walk around for a bit! You're so stingy!" Nan Luo complained when he saw Hou Liang would not allow them to walk around. Crossing his hands in annoyance, Nan Luo could only stay in his place.

"Young Master, do you know that if we're staying outside for a longer period of time, it'll be late? Night time is very dangerous outside." Hou Liang was getting a bit cranky as well. Facing the mischievous Nan Luo, even he would lose his patience.

Nan Luo pursed his lips.

While the duo was arguing, Nan Hua was considering whether to make the first move against those spy in the forest or not. They were not the hidden guards from Nan Family but some strangers who were watching the people who passed by this path.

Was the broken wheel due to their interference?

But why did they not make their move?

Klip! Klop!

The faint sound of horse stepping reached Nan Hua's ear. She looked at the back as a procession was coming close. From this distance, she could see that there were at least several people who were riding horse.

And their attire… they were soldiers.

"Hua'er, what are you looking at?"

"Miss, are you tired?" Xiao Yun also asked.

"No, there are people coming."

"Oh?" Hou Liang turned his head. The people behind them were still a distance away but his eyes could recognize them easily. A faint smile formed at the corner of his lips, yet it didn't reach his eyes. "It's General Chi and his son. If I'm not wrong, they're assigned to guard Her Highness in Yi Shang Temple."

General Chi.

There were several generals in Fei Yang Kingdom but only a few of them were truly worthy of the title. General Chi was one of them, but they didn't have good relationship with Nan family. In fact, it could be said that the two families often traded blows even in the battlefield.

The reason?

It was because General Chi came from different kingdoms a few decades ago. Even though he said that he would stay loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom for their entire life, it was hard to believe. In this warring era, the exiled generals would often move to other kingdoms because they had lost the place for them to live.

The reason they were exiled were mostly because of a failure. Some other times was betrayal.

It was also due to this that General Nan didn't have too good relationship with General Chi. He had already told his grandchildren to not get too close to this general in the future and avoided him if it was possible.

A mission was… well… a completely different matter.

If it was a mission, they would have no other choice but to cooperate with each other. And at that time, they still had to be careful with each other.
