Chapter 310 – The North Forest
Swish!
After being able to breathe again, Nan Hua silently tried to recover her stamina. She took out the needle that she had kept inside her sleeve and silently tried to regulate the poison in her body.
It would be hard to do it in this position, though…
At the same time, Nan Hua felt quite glad that the ancient clothing had a large sleeve for women. This allowed her to keep a lot of things inside that she usually had to keep in other places.
"How long are we supposed to run today?"
"As fast as possible."
"Does that person didn't interfere?"
"What would they try to interfere with us?" the kidnapper sneered. "They're only staying in Wind City because it's a location that's close to either three of the other kingdoms in order to get news as fast as possible."
The first kidnapper was silent for a while. "I heard that they have some dispute with our Lin Family."
"Don't bother with it. It's not something that we should talk with ourselves."
"Right."
The group of kidnapper had turned silent once more. Nan Hua herself didn't know how much time had passed when she felt that her body was no longer affected that much by the poison. However, she was still keeping her eyes closed while listening to the sound of the nature around.
There were mostly sound of leaves rustling.
It was clear that this group of people were in a hurry. What Nan Hua was curious about was how were they planning to cross the border. From what she knew, there were a lot of soldiers stationed in all the possible route.
As for the harder route… there were more than enough obstacles there. If they could carry children along with them while overcoming those harsh area, Nan Hua had to applaud them. And it would make it easier for her to defeat them.
So she didn't mind in the slightest bit.
"Which way is the carriage?"
"It's there."
Carriage?
Did they have some identity they used to pass the border?
Swish! Tep!
"Two children?"
The voice of a woman entered Nan Hua's ear. She was still letting the kidnapper carried her as before, but her senses were as sharp as ever.
"The smaller one is First Young Miss Nan." The cold kidnapper sneered. "Don't you think it'll be worth it to see Great General Nan enraged again?"
"Oh?"
The woman walked closer and stopped before Nan Hua. She reached her hand and pinched Nan Hua's face, looking at her complexion closer. After a few seconds, she released her grip.
"Her face didn't look like that annoying old general at all." Her voice was terrifyingly cold. It was unknown what Old Master Nan had done in his youth to make her hated him to the bone.
"She's a girl also, she's his granddaughter, right?" The cold kidnapper then motioned for the others to put the two of them in the carriage.
"How much did you give them?"
"Enough to knock them off for two days."
The woman arched her eyebrows. "That much? Let's hope that it wouldn't affect their health too much. Lin Family will be in trouble if either one of them died."
If they threatened Old Master Nan with some reasonable demand, they could still get some benefit. But if they killed the girl directly, it was clear that Zhang Xu Kingdom would give up on their Lin Family. No matter how much influence they had, they couldn't do anything if Great General Nan wished to attack them.
That old general… was not exactly bound by rules and often did unconventional things.
"Don't worry. At most, they'll be sickly and wouldn't be able to get out of their room too much. I have asked the physician when they made the medicine." The cold kidnapper looked at the sky. "Are you going to depart now?"
"No, there are a group of people nearby. If we depart now, they'll be suspicious. It's better to wait until the area is clear."
"I see."
"Did you leave any trace?" The woman asked with a glint.
The man quickly waved his hand. "How could it be? I absolutely make sure that there's nothing that can be traced back to us. They wouldn't even know that we're the one who did it. After all there are two assassination organization roaming around the Wind City."
"Are you talking about Dark Moon Organization?" The woman shook her head. "Their organization didn't kidnap people."
"Organization can change with time."
The woman chuckled. "Heh, right. No one would guess that people from Zhang Xu Kingdom would be doing this."
"Madam Lin, it's clear."
"We're departing now."
"Ok."
…
*In a certain forest*
"Master, Junior Sister Hua is kidnapped along with Princess Yue," Shan Yu read the report sent to them by a messenger.
Traveling Doctor Liu was still thinking of which route would be the best for him to depart. Since he was a traveler, he had been walking at an extreme leisure pace, stopping from one village to another. Thanks to that, they were not too far away from Wind City.
"Did she tell us who did it?"
"Lin Family."
"Lin Family?" Traveling Doctor Liu frowned when he heard that. To think that he would get involved with them again. He fidgeted as he looked at his disciple. "With her skill, she should be able to escape on her own, right?"
Shan Yu: "…" Master, if you want to go back right now, just say it directly.
"Junior Sister Hua is amazing. I'm sure that she can take care of herself."
"Still, would she be fine when she's facing a lot of adults who are much stronger than her?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked again, his tone was filled with worry.
"Master, would you like to go back?"
"How can I do that? I have just said that I'm going to go…" Traveling Doctor Liu's voice turned lower and lower.
Shan Yu: "…" Master, if you're worried and want to rescind your decision, you can say it freely.
