Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua didn't go that far away. She switched her clothes to that of ordinary youth and tied her hair up so that she would resemble a man. Looking at the crowd in front of her, she knew that all of them came here in order to be able to see Emperor Yang Zhou's marriage.

It was a once in a lifetime event.

"The bride is coming out."

At this moment, Xiao Qiang was carried by her brother to the carriage. Dressed in red clothing and red head cover, no one was able to see her appearance at all. However, everyone acted as if she was the most beautiful woman as they cheered around the area.

Nan Hua looked at the group in front of her and saw Long Qian Xing on the other side of the road. It seemed that he had also noticed that many people who came this time didn't have good intention.

And they would dare to make a move.

'In that case, I'll deal with this one over here.'

As Nan Hua passed by a man, her hand moved swiftly and pressed the accupoint on the man's back. He became paralyzed in an instant and Nan Hua pulled him to the nearby alley. Her hand took out her dagger and slit the man's throat.

Splash!

Blood burst out from the vein as the man gagged. However, with his accupoint pressed, he was unable to do anything but watch as his blood flowed out of his neck like this.

'Death in the day of marriage is considered as bad omen. But how do you prevent death in the first place?'

With the world so big, was it possible for there to be no death at all in faraway place?

So, Nan Hua didn't believe in such superstition.

She looked around before kicking the man to the side so that he would be covered. That way, the corpse wouldn't be found easily. Besides, Long Qian Xing's men would sweep this place soon.

They would naturally recognize this familiar smell of blood.

'Next.'

Nan Hua got out of the alley and saw the carriage had started to move. Xiao Qiang inside the carriage would enter the palace and become the Empress. Once she become one, it would be much harder for anyone to meet with her again.

Moving her line of sight, Nan Hua continued her move. The dagger in hand was soon completely covered in blood as the number of people she killed increased. Those who didn't know the identity of this man would only think that there was a reaper who killed without caring of who that person is.

On the other side of the road, Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead. He felt that the security system was really poor even though they had tried to do their best. With so many people tried to take a look at Empress Xiao Qiang's carriage, the street was basically filled with them.

"Drag him out." Long Qian Xing gave instruction to his men while he kept his eyes on everyone on the street. His dull pupil was covered with a hood as he was not here with his real identity but more like that of a shadow guard.

"Master, there are some who had died on the other side of the street."

"What do you mean?" Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't have anyone who should have been cleaning up the other side.

The men quickly reported the bodies they recovered from the alley. Whoever did it was a master because that person managed to pull those people without alarming anyone. It was done so covertly that they only managed to find because of the smell of blood.

Long Qian Xing glanced at the carriage, wondering whether Xiao Family actually had some experts. However, Xiao Family was a family that focused more on politics. They shouldn't have the ability to produce such an expert.

It didn't rule out the possibility of them hiring experts.

"Have you confirmed the identity?"

"They're all from Black Gulf and also Forest Fire."

Forest Fire was an organization that based on Fei Yang Kingdom. They usually moved in the forest and small villages, but when the offer was right, they wouldn't mind moving to cities. If one had to say, this organization was quite big and their base was at the opposite of Dark Moon Organization.

Because of that, the two organization rarely see each other. One at the East and the other one at the West. Both were hard to deal with.

There were several other organizations at the East but their bases were also at the border like Dark Moon Organizations. This made it hard for any of the kingdom to deal with them as it might breach the territory and offend the other kingdom.

As for Black Gulf.

It was an assassination organization that liked to trade with items more than money. Whatever the other party offered, as long as they could provide items with enough value, they would be moved.

"Money again." Long Qian Xing's lips pursed. There was really only one person with too much money that he knew would be so against Emperor Yang Zhou. However, it was not really the time for him to point finger.

"Clean it up."

"Yes, Master."

Whoever that person is, since that person helped them, Long Qian Xing would accept it first. In any case, he still had a few more whom he had to deal with.

His eyes moved around the area, checking the place one by one to make sure that those from organizations were eliminated one by one. It was quite taxing considering that he had to memorize a lot of faces.

But this was better than letting them mess up this marriage.

Swish!

Soon, the carriage reached the palace.

Nan Hua watched as the procession continued with the Emperor knocking and asking for the bride to come out. She lowered her gaze and turned around. There was nothing else for her to do for now.

If those people planned another move, it would be tonight.
