Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The night was quiet.

Nan Hua found Xiao Yun and Mu Yan, asking for them to see her in her room. "Starting tomorrow, Mu Yan will act as me and stay in my room. Xiao Yun is only responsible for carrying food inside. From time to time, you two will change places so that there wouldn't be anyone suspicious. Is my instruction clear?"

"Yes, Miss!"

Both Xiao Yun and Mu Yan had already guessed that this would happen. They were already prepared and planned how to act from a long time ago, thus they were more or less ready.

"Good."

Nan Hua then walked to the backyard and sent a bamboo strip out for Fei Mao. This was the easiest method for her to deliver instruction without the need for any meeting. With her skill, it was easy for her to make sure that no one would find out and that the bamboo strip would always land in the same place.

All Fei Mao had to do was picking it up.

…

Morning.

Nan Luo and the others were quick to get ready. Then, they looked around as they didn't see Nan Hua anywhere.

"Xiao Yan, go and see where Hua'er is." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.

Xiao Yan was his personal manservant and would always follow Nan Luo, except if he was ordered otherwise. He bowed and was about to leave when he saw Xiao Yun walking toward them.

"Xiao Yun, where's Hua'er?" Nan Luo still remember the servant's name, so he quickly asked.

"Miss didn't want to come out. She only asks me to relay a message for Young Master, saying that Young Master have to take care of himself and return safely."

Nan Luo pursed his lips. Why would Nan Hua even sent a servant to relay such a stupid message? He really wanted to rush over to Nan Hua's room in order to see for himself what she was doing.

Old Master Nan walked out at this time. He looked at his grandchildren before stepping to the side, showing the small figure who had been following him. This time, Nan Hua was wearing dark blue robe with her hair tied up like many other boys. The dark silver mask was very eye catching when they saw her for the first time.

"Luo, Ao Kuai, this is Nan. He'll be following you to protect you from now."

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were both staring at Nan Hua. Even though she was wearing a disguise, the two of them knew her very well that it would be impossible for them to mistake that pair of eyes for anyone else in the world.

Right now, the two of them understood perfectly.

Nan Hua would come with them!

"Alright, nice to see you Nan."

Behind Nan Luo, Xiao Yan resisted the urge to curse when he saw Nan Hua. He had already seen Nan Hua's disguise before and seeing Xiao Yun like this, he could also guess that this Nan must be Nan Hua.

Really, they actually wanted to let a 10 year old young girl to stand at the frontline and fight?

He really didn't know what was in their mind anymore.

But thinking of Nan Hua's skill, he felt that it was indeed better for them to bring her along rather than without anyone.

"Father in law, there will be soldiers arranged to protect them." Feng Qian Shao was stupefied when he saw such a young kid would be following his son and nephew. In his opinion, his soldiers would be more than enough to protect the two children.

"He's very skilled and I plan on having him stay beside my grandson almost all the time." Old Master Nan looked at Feng Qian Shao. "Do you have any objection to this, General Feng?"

Hearing Old Master Nan called him with his title, Feng Qian Shao that this matter would not be open for discussion. He could only nod and looked at the young child who walked towards Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai with mixed feeling.

Would this small kid be able to fight properly?

Nan Hua walked towards Nan Luo and knelt on one knee while cupping her fist with her other hand. It was the standard greetings method in the military towards someone who was at higher ranks.

"Nan greets Young Master Luo and Young Master Kuai."

"Stand up." Nan Luo felt extremely uncomfortable because he knew this was his twin sister. However, he had to act and since he was already trained to act ever since he was young, he controlled his raging emotions almost instantly. "Since you're going to follow me, I hope we'll be able to work together."

"Yes, Young Master Luo."

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua as he tried to simulate many different methods of greetings in his head. This was supposed to be the first time he met with Nan and considering his usual method of greetings…

"Do your job well."

"Yes, Young Master Kuai."

Internally, Feng Ao Kuai was struggling so hard that he hoped that he would be able to change his words. However, he eventually turned around and hopped on the horse that was already prepared for him. One of his manservant hopped behind him to help him control the horse during this journey.

Due to Feng Ao Kuai's short stature, it was indeed very tiring if he had to ride horse all the way to the frontline.

It was the same as Nan Luo.

Feng Ao Si looked at Nan Hua with curiosity. "Can you ride horse, Nan? Or do you also need help like Ao Kuai and Luo?"

Nan Hua passed a glance before she jumped up to ride the horse that was prepared for her. Her small hand caressed the horse head, calming it down almost instantly. The oppressive aura that she leaked out slightly also served as a warning for the horse to follow her order.

"Oh, I guess I'm worried too much."

Nan Luo passed a look at Nan Hua then at Xiao Yan behind him. For some reason, he felt that he was really lacking behind Nan Hua a lot!
