At the sa ti, Princess Yue was also wondering about Nan Hua. She thought of searching for soone who ca recently with the na Jun Hua soon. The information she had gathered about the people in the Imperial Family and those nobilities should be of good use.
She stayed at the side as she watched Chi Song Hui being reprimanded heavily by the Empress.
The brat was getting more and more outrageous.
It was ti to teach him a lesson.
…
Swish!
It was evening, close to night.
Nan Hua left through the front door and t with Chu Yue, who had been waiting. She nodded and Chu Yue called the carriage. The two of them entered and asked the driver to leave the Empress Palace.
Inside the carriage, Nan Hua swiftly changed her clothes.
And when the carriage left through the front gate, Nan Hua disappeared in the direction of Zhang Family Residence.
The location of Zhang Family Residence was not that far from the palace. With Nan Hua's speed, she could reach the location in less than a minute as long as she run fast enough.
"Miss."
"Settle the guards."
"Yes." Nan Si moved swiftly. He approached the two guards and knocked the two of them down easily. His movent was extrely fast and they couldn't even notice soone was attacking them until it was too late.
In the dark night, Nan Hua slipped into the residence. Her eyes were looking at the group of people who were guarding. This ti she didn't pay any attention to them and directly headed inside.
It was Nan Si who moved towards those guards.
Slash!
"Who…"
The man brandished his sword, but before he could fully pull it out, he felt pain on his neck. Blood burst out like a waterfall before his body fell to the ground, filled with disbelief. He didn't even see his opponent before he ended up dying so miserably like this.
The other people in the sa group was stunned. They tried to react but Nan Si had rushed over in their direction. His dagger easily slashed through their skin, cutting open fatal wounds that would be hard to close.
Thud!
Nan Si swept his gaze across his surroundings once before he moved again.
'Here.'
Nan Hua looked at the hidden building in the small garden and slipped inside from the side. Landing in the bushes, she could see several guards patrolling. The guards and servants were not her target this ti, so she would not kill them.
Swish!
When the guards were not looking, Nan Hua slipped into the building. Even though she was only a few centiters away from the guard, she didn't show any nervousness or anything. Hiding her presence, paying close attention to the range of their senses, that was what allowed an assassin to be successful in their career.
"Are you the one who's in charge of guarding tonight?"
"Yes, they're all sleeping today, so it should be fine even if we didn't do anything much this ti." The guard shrugged nonchalantly. "Lower your voice or you'll wake them up and then all hell broke loose."
"Hmm, right. It's really annoying."
"As long as we're not the one inside."
"…You're right."
Nan Hua slipped into the inner room and easily climbed the ceiling before finding her way to slip inside. Holding onto the wooden pillars used to prop the ceiling, Nan Hua glanced inside.
The sll of blood and herbs mixed together. Inside the room, Nan Hua noticed a lot of people were restrained with chains to the bed. They were dressed simply and there was countless marks of needles on their hands that was visible.
They were the test subject.
How the Zhang Family gathered them was not sothing Nan Hua knew, but she knew that the Zhang Family worked together with Pri Minister Lei. They were trying to recreate the ancient thod to build unstoppable soldiers in this place.
And there were only two people who knew the exact thod.
Chen Yuan and her brother.
However, her brother only knew the thod while Chen Yuan was practically the only person who could utilize this thod fully. Zhang Family had already known the thod but the strict restriction and skills made them unable to do it perfectly which resulted in several losses that occurred all these tis.
Even without Chen Yuan, they could actually already make it.
They just wanted to get result faster so they searched for her and tried to tempt her with various things.
Maybe, even the death of her brother was their sche.
Nan Hua pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
There was nothing else Nan Hua could do about this matter. She couldn't change the past anymore and asking for Chen Yuan to help her was unreasonable. Chen Yuan is still part of Zhang Xu Kingdom and wouldn't help Zhang Xu Kingdom's opponent so easily.
Swish! Tep!
Nan Hua landed on the ground and moved to the stack of bamboo scrolls. She packed them and stuffed them into the bag that she had brought with her. This was the real reason why she wanted to co here.
Her talent in dicine was not as preserve as Luo Qing Wei.
But it didn't an that she couldn't do anything to hasten the progress. Since she couldn't do it naturally, she would just cheat.
With these records, she might be able to find the reverse thod through the reverse process or maybe sothing similar.
'Unfortunately, I can't use them.'
The ti Nan Hua could spend in this place was limited. She walked to the side and knocked the torch that was used to keep the light here. There were enough materials that could be used to burn things.
These people were no longer able to control their thoughts and had been influenced deeply.
She couldn't help them.
All she could do was put an end to their misery faster.
That might be the last bit of kindness she could give despite herself knowing that she just didn't want Zhang Xu Kingdom to use them.
