Chapter 739: Nan Shu Cheng’s Celebration Banquet

The cold wind lightly brushed Nan Hua\'s bloody cheek.         

She didn\'t stay there for a long time as her body agilely jumped down and landed on the ground soon afterwards. Her bloodstained sword was lightly wiped to the clothes of the assassin before her. She would like to use her own clothes, but it was damp with blood as it is.     

She would only dirty her sword more.     

Once it was clean, she sheathed the sword once more and disappeared from the scene.     

Swish!     

Not long after Nan Hua disappeared, several people had arrived on the scene and looked at the dead assassins on the ground. At the back, Lin Yuan was panting as he tried to catch up with these professional\'s speed.     

"Can\'t you slow down a bit?" Lin Yuan asked with grieving tone.     

Long Qian Xing paid no heed to Lin Yun as he looked at the depression around the assassin\'s body. The grounds here were made of soil and if there was impact, it could be seen clearly. From the small depression on the ground, he could estimate that these assassins were killed at high altitude.     

At the very least, they were not killed on the ground.     

He glanced up and saw that there was two assassin stuck on the branches. His eyes gleamed.     

"Can Bai Lan follow the smell of blood?"     

"Huh? Do you think she\'s a dog?" Lin Yuan was speechless. However, Bai Lan\'s food was indeed meat and in the wild, these white foxes would hunt. "I think she should be able to do it."     

"The one who kills these assassins should be covered in blood, ask Bai Lan to trace him."     

"Okay."     

Lin Yuan put Bai Lan down. "Bai Lan, try to follow the scent of blood."     

Bai Lan raised her hand licked her front leg. She turned around and sniffed the area. The smell of blood was so strong, but she could still faintly smell the blood from the other area. Soon, she began to run in the direction where Nan Hua departed not long ago.     

Long Qian Xing waved his hand, indicating for his men to clean up the mess before he ran after Bai Lan. Whoever that person was, Long Qian Xing knew that it was another expert that was hard to deal.     

Either that person had a grudge with Forest Fire or it was actually on their side.     

He wanted to make sure.     

Bai Lan stopped before a small pond in the forest and whined. It couldn\'t detect any smell of blood again.     

"Did he wash off the blood?" Lin Yuan was stunned.     

"Yes." Long Qian Xing looked at the white fox beside him and felt that it was strange. That person wouldn\'t have known that he would use a fox to try tracking him down, right?     

"So, what are we going to do now?"     

"Go back."     

"Eh?" Lin Yuan thought that Long Qian Xing would try to continue searching. But since he had said so, Lin Yuan said nothing and followed the other party. He was only here to participate in the fun.     

He had to admit that he was useless in the terms of fighting, though.         

…     

    

At the same time, Nan Hua had reached home and took another bath. She purposely washed herself at that pond to eliminate the possibility of Long Qian Xing using Bai Lan to track her.     

She couldn\'t let him know her current identity.     

The night passed quietly.     

The next day, Nan Hua received news of Emperor Yang Zhou\'s marriage that was going well. Now that the two of them had truly gotten married to each other, Xiao Qiang would be the Empress and managed the harem. No one would dare to discuss about her so openly anymore.     

It might be because of this event that Nan Shu Cheng didn\'t dare to flare up.     

If he caused troubles in his residence during the time Emperor Yang Zhou got married, wouldn\'t it be seen that he was courting his own death.     

Nan Hua knew the procession and events that occurred during the marriage event that was left unsaid. In any case, Long Qian Xing would be catching some rats from other kingdoms who were sent to spy this event and cause trouble. She had stopped them, but they would not give up so quickly.     

They couldn\'t allow Emperor Yang Zhou assumed power so easily.     

Because once Emperor Yang Zhou held the real power, it meant that he would begin to set his eyes on the other kingdoms.     

War would commence even more intense than before.     

And three days after that, it was the celebration Nan Shu Cheng had for his promotion. Nan Hua was still staying inside her residence and write several bamboo strips with one of them sealed within a bamboo tube. She naturally didn\'t send them using conventional means.     

Standing beside the window and looked outside, Nan Hua threw it when the guards were not paying attention.     

Xiao Yun was already used with Nan Hua giving order this way. However, this was the first time Nan Hua used her seal to send a letter to someone covertly. Was there someone Nan Hua urgently needed to contact?     

While Xiao Yun was a bit confused, Nan Hua had turned around. "Father is having celebration, send congratulation word from me and tell him that I\'m not feeling well."     

"Yes, Miss."     

Nan Hua had no intention of getting out of this room and watched Nan Shu Cheng had fun with the other nobles. They were all celebrating Nan Shu Cheng\'s promotion and seemed to be very busy.     

She noticed that many of the shadow guards who were originally watching her had started to shift their target. It seemed that the fact that there was a party going on was already more than enough for them to shift their attention.     

They were also had to be cautious in case Nan Shu Cheng contacted someone.     

Nan Hua silently walked to her bed before pausing. Someone was moving rapidly within the shadows towards her place.     

Did they plan on assassinating her?
