Chapter 103 - Regrouping

"Die!"

The assassin saw this chance and dashed forward, brandishing his blade and hacked towards the young boy while blocking the escape path.

Bang!

Jleb!

The moment Nan Luo noticed that he was in dire situation, he focused on diving down when the assassin came close. The sword in his hand stabbed forward towards the assassin's abdomen as he kicked the ground to push him away.

"Imposs..."

Thunk!

Several pieces of wood dropped on top of the assassin, pushing him down. It caused the sword that was embedded deep into his stomach to go even deeper inside.

"Luo?"

"I'm okay!" Nan Luo replied almost immediately. He managed to push himself away from the falling woods. The distance was pretty near, though, as several pieces had fallen near his legs.

He felt chills on his back as he couldn't imagine himself losing his legs because of this incident. If something happened to him, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to fulfil his grandfather's dream.

Nan Hua was looking at the assassins and fire in front of her.

Suddenly, she recalled the novel once more. It was said that the novel Nan Hua had a twin brother but the twin brother was a useless cripple. There was an incident during Nan Luo's youth that caused him to be unable to walk properly.

Looking at the scene before her, Nan Hua was suspecting whether this was that one incident or not. After all, her appearances had changed many things.

There was also not much mention about Nan Family.

It didn't say anything about the incident regarding Nan Family and only mentioned briefly. Nan Hua in the novel was an extremely cold person who was not close to anyone in Nan Family.

Thus, when she was brought to ruin, her family members didn't care for her in the slightest bit.

"Young Master! Young Miss!" Hou Liang was glad when he saw the two brats appearing before him. While Nan Luo looked like a mess, he still ran around energetically, which meant that he should be fine.

"Commander Hou!" Nan Luo waved his other hand that didn't hold Nan Hua. "How's the situation over there?"

"It's pretty bad. The assassins are attacking randomly and the other people have already evacuated."

"Where?"

"There's a small open field at the base mountain. It's also protected with more soldiers, so we should be save if we head there."

Nan Luo nodded. "In that case, we should head there."

"We'll prepare the carriage."

"Just a horse is enough."

"Young master, your horse riding skill is still poor."

Nan Luo: "..." he couldn't deny that.

There was the horse riding training in the academy. While Nan Luo could ride horse, his controlling skill was still not the best. It was actually more like he didn't seem like he could ride horse properly if one were to look at his performance because of his small stature.

No one looked down on him, though.

When they were 9 years old, their performance was naturally worse than him.

"Please ride the carriage." Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan had come and prepared the necessary carriage.

Nan Hua glanced at the carriage then at the mess in the residence. It seemed that the servants had specifically prepared the carriage for her and her twin brother. If not, they would not make sure this carriage escaped unscathed from the barrage of attacks from various assassins.

"Alright, let's go, Hua'er."

"Mhm."
