Chapter 408 Fight Against Hai Family (2)

Towards that kind of question, Nan Hua naturally didn't answer. She proceeded to take care of the poison by purging it out. It was not exactly a deadly poison and with a few stabs of her needles to some of the accupoint, she was done.

The head guard was speechless when he found out that he could move again. The skill that Nan Hua showed was totally like an experienced doctor.

"Are you sure you're just a guard?"

Nan Hua walked to Mu Fei Xin and lowered her eyes. "Please pardon my rudeness, Your Highness."

"It's fine."

Since Nan Hua lowered her voice, she sounded more like a boy. This was done purposely because Nan Hua didn't want these people to look down on her. With the great prejudice against female in this era, there were times when it was better for her to pose as a male instead.

It was not like she was staying at the Capital City and played the battle of words with those noble ladies.

Mu Fei Xin felt better after the poison was purged. However, she still felt a bit nauseated when she saw the black blood that was forced out from the tip of her finger. With her nerve no longer as tense as before, she felt calmer instead.

"It's your turn, Your Highness."

Prince Yang Lu nodded. He glanced at the head guard. "Do you have any decent plan to push the blame to Hai Family?"

"Your Highness, if we can save the officials and also their children, they will more likely to follow what we ask them to do. Besides, if we were to use the Hai Family wealth to entice them, they might be able to give testimonies that's necessary for us." The head guard cupped his fist.

"Heh." Prince Yang Lu chuckled. "That might be a good idea."

This time, Nan Hua had finished the treatment. She moved to the other soldiers belonged to Prince Yang Lu and treated them as fast as possible. Even though it was far, she could already hear the sound of battle starting from a distance.

She knew, Commander Hai must have already started to attack. Not to mention, Nan Luo would be doing his move.

'The Dark Moon should be retreating by now.'

"Are you not worried that we'll attack you, Nan?" Prince Yang Lu asked when he saw how calm Nan Hua was. He couldn't understand why someone like him would even treat them so well.

"You can't kill me."

The sentence was uttered in an unhurried tone. To those who heard it, the first thought they have would be: 'how arrogant.' But when they thought about it deeply, they would know that it was also the truth.

Based on the skill alone, it was very likely that they would die if they tried to go against Nan Hua.

And they were also exhausted.

Rather than wasting their energy to do such pointless things, it would be better for them to plan how they should do this to escape with their life intact.

"The treatment is done."

Nan Hua stood up and looked at Prince Yang Lu. "I'll leave the officials to you."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Eliminating the guards."

"The guards?" Prince Yang Lu was stunned. He stood up and took his sword again when he saw that Nan Hua had walked out of the front door before disappearing. It was as if whatever he saw just now was nothing more than an illusion.

"What do you think of him?"

The head guard was startled by the sudden question. "He's very skilled. It's a blessing for Nan Family to be able to find someone so capable."

"That boy is Nan Luo's body double." Prince Yang Lu sneered. When he saw the boy's body stature, he had felt that it was strange for Old Master Nan to pick such a young child as First Young Master Nan's guard. But when he paid closer attention, he realized how similar that young boy with First Young Master Nan was.

It was then he was sure that this so called shadow guard was actually the body double for Nan Luo.

"But he's here to help us?" Mu Fei Xin was confused.

Prince Yang Lu didn't answer and walked out of the main hall. Upon seeing the mess out there, in which countless people had died and their bodies scattered, his eyes deepened. He knew that to be able to kill so many guards in such a young age meant that the person was very skilled.

All the guards here were the top notch in Hai Family. Even Prince Yang Lu didn't have any confidence to say that he could defeat them because of the difference in their skills.

But seeing that they were all drop dead on the ground, he felt a bit apprehensive.

"He's confident."

"Yes?"

"He's sure that we will side with Imperial Brother, so there's nothing wrong with him revealing that to us." Prince Yang Lu sighed. Nan Family was truly a crouching and hidden dragon.

He had thought that the Nan Family was a family riddled with problems in the past because of how there were so many conflict. Not to mention, Great General Nan was growing old and it wouldn't be weird that he would be retiring soon.

His grandson was still too young.

Thus, many people believed that Nan Family glory would end soon. But now that Prince Yang Lu had met with the shadow guard, he believed otherwise. With Nan Family and Long Family backing his Imperial Brother, coupled with several others who openly and covertly supporting him, he knew that there wouldn't be anyone who could shake Emperor Yang Zhou position in the future.

Time.

As long as he had enough time to prepare everything, it would be enough.

"Fei Xin, can you influence Mu Family to covertly support Imperial Brother?" Prince Yang Lu asked.

Mu Fei Xin's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She had known that Prince Yang Lu was an ambitious person, which was why she was always feeling conflicted when she was near him. Now that she heard his request, a smile bloomed on her face.

"Yes!"

Prince Yang Lu let out a faint helpless smile before he turned stern again. "Let's have a good talk with the officials."

"Yes, Your Highness!"
