Chapter 728: Worry

Chapter 728: WorryXiao Yun also understood what had happened and looked at Nan Hua with worry. At this moment, there was a sleeping wolf that was about to be awakened should there be more bad news.

...

"Young Commander!" Xiao Yan yelled in panic when he saw blood drew from Nan Luo's left arm.

"I'm fine."

Nan Luo waved his other hand as he twisted his body and thrusted forward. While the other party managed to harm his left hand, he used the chance to launch counterattack and wound the other party too. This time, his attack directly killed the commander in front of him.

Slash! Thud!

"Retreat!" Nan Luo yelled. "Ao Kuai! Cover us!"

Feng Ao Kuai yelled. "Retreat three formations!"

The soldiers began to move and blocked the attack from the enemies while they began to withdraw from the battlefield. They were outnumbered, so their best option in order to win was to make sure that they maintained their formation and defend.

The two armies cooperated with each other as they retreated from the battlefield while the enemy's line was in chaos because of their loss of their commander.

It didn't take long for the two armies to return to the camp.

"Luo, treat your arm." Feng Ao Kuai immediately signaled for the army doctor to tend on Nan Luo's wound.

"I'm fine."

"Is it deep?"

Nan Luo was looking at his hand while the doctor began to apply medicine and bandaged it. He nodded faintly. "It nearly reaches the bone."

Nan Luo was fine.

He was just a bit careless.

Swish!

A shadow landed behind Nan Hua and kneeled on the ground with one arm on top of his legs. It was a proper posture for a servant to their Master. "Master, the investigation had finished."

"Who?"

"It's a small group of people who are against His Majesty. The family of the woman in the palace who collaborate with Princess Hu also participated in it."

Princess Hu was already betrothed to Shangguan Yu and their marriage would happen very soon. In fact, it was even earlier compared to Emperor Yang Zhou's marriage since their scandal had already spread far.

The Imperial Family wanted to suppress the news, so they simply announced that Princess Hu would marry Shangguan Yu.

During the day in Empress Selection, there was indeed one girl who collaborated with Princess Hu in order to frame Nan Hua. It was just that she would never expected that the plan would backfire and harmed Princess Hu instead.

"It's her?" Nan Hua's eyes were calm.

She would not usually pursue people for small matters. After all, if she tried to redress grievances for every single offense, the list would be too long. Since that girl was only used by Princess Hu, Nan Hua simply forget about her.

But it seemed that the girl was not simply being used.

"Yes, Miss. Shall I deal with her?" Nan Si's eyes gleamed with ruthlessness.

Nan Si was Nan Hua's shadow and would follow Nan Hua wherever she went. His task was to deal with things that Nan Hua's identity inconvenience her to make a move personally. Even though it didn't mean Nan Hua couldn't do it, why should she take care of the mess on her own and blew her cover?

That was where Nan Si came.

He could be anyone around Nan Hua from a servant to a guard to a mere passerby. No one would be able to find his true identity unless they knew the truth.

That day in the palace, he naturally saw everything.
