Chapter 839: Ambush

Chapter 839: AmbushThe wind was silently singing slow melody.        

The leaves were falling from the trees and danced in accordance to the music provided by them.    

It was a peaceful day.    

The carriage continued to move and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. The guards were talking while guarding, the maidservants were making jokes inside the carriage to lighten the atmosphere.    

Everything seemed normal.    

Swish! Swish! Swish!    

Dozens of arrows were shot from within the forest.    

"There's an ambush! Protect the young miss!" The head guard yelled and brandished his sword.    

Following the dozens of arrows that were shot towards the carriage, several figures shot out of the bushes. It seemed that they were ready to make a move from the moment they heard that the carriage was leaving the Capital City.    

As to how they knew that…    

It was not exactly a secret considering that Nan Hua's carriage did bear Nan Family's symbol on their door.    

It wouldn't be hard for one to recognize it.    

Clang! Clang! Clang!    

The sound of metal clashing reverberated through the forest. It alarmed many people who were watching this procession. Some of them rushed over in different direction in order to relay the piece of news to several people.    

"Hurry!"    

"Deal with them!"    

"Don't let them get close to the carriage!" The Head Guard was feeling nervous. He had noticed that the number of people who ambushed them were far more than their number. It was already hard enough for them to fight 1 vs 3 or 4, but they also had to protect the carriage.    

"Yes!"    

Clang! Clang! Clang!    

The soldiers were trying their best to fight to the fullest. They didn't want to die yet and it was clearly not the best time for them to die.    

"Continue to fight! There'll be reinforcement coming!"    

"There are more people coming!"    

The men who ambushed frowned and looked at the carriage in front of him. He couldn't see very clearly into the carriage, but he could guess that the young miss of Nan Family should be inside.    

"Fire!"    

The archers who were prepared then began to shoot arrows once more.    

This time, it was not ordinary arrows but rather fire arrow. During the time the other group was intercepting the guards, they were preparing themselves to prepare the burning arrow.        

Swoosh!    

"No!"    

The head guard yelled and tried to stop it. However, there were too many arrows hitting the motionless carriage in the middle. Fire began to spread.    

"Come out! Help Young Miss out!" the head guard yelled.    

The two maidservants were both flustered and wanted to get close. However, the number of the people who ambushed them were too overwhelming. There was no chance for them to even get close to the carriage.    

All they could do was to watch it as it was burning.    

*neigh*    

Hearing the sound of horse from a distance, they all turned their heads and saw that the soldiers had arrived. The one leading at the front was Feng Ao Kuai.    

After all, the Nan Family decided to use the south gate. It was not far from where Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo were stationed during this period of time.    

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes turned cold when he saw the burning carriage. "Kill them all!"    

"Yes, Second Young Commander Feng!"    

Bang!    

Clang! Clang! Clang!    

The sound of metal clashing grew even more fiercer as Feng Ao Kuai drove the horse towards the carriage. It was already burning so fiercely that not a single one was left intact. Furrowing his eyebrows, Feng Ao Kuai used his sword, brandishing it towards the burning carriage.    

Slash!    

The charred wood fell down, revealing the burning inside.    

Feng Ao Kuai's expression didn't change, but the aura around him turned colder. He turned around and waved his hand, indicating for his archers to begin shooting. When he came, he always made necessary preparation.    

He was not like his older brother who only know how to charge forward.    

There were more than dozens of people who circled the area, preventing the man from going away.    

"Do you think you can get away with this?" Feng Ao Kuai asked with chilling voice.    

Thud!    

With the reinforcement from Feng Ao Kuai, the man couldn't stand anymore. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai, who was standing in front of the burning carriage, with hatred and ecstasy. "As long as she died, there's no way Great General Nan will be quiet. Our work is done the moment we burn and kill Young Miss Nan!"    

"Stop him!"    

The man was unable to kill himself as the guard beside him dislocated his jaw with a swift motion. Feng Ao Kuai's soldiers had long gotten used to Feng Ao Kuai's ruthlessness. He was the best when it came to deal with these kind of people because he would be able to torture them.    

And in the eyes of his soldiers, he was simply a devil.        

There was not even any hesitation in his eyes when he was torturing someone so brutally that they would wish that they were dead. This painful torture even sometimes made them feel chills from the bottom of their heart.    

They had even seen General Feng's face turned pale when he saw his son's ruthlessness.    

Thus, they tried their best to adapt.    

Drap! Drap! Drap!    

From the Capital City, another group of soldiers were coming, led by Long Qian Xing. Looking at the burning carriage and Feng Ao Kuai, who was standing there, Long Qian Xing frowned.    

"Where's Nan Hua?"    

Feng Ao Kuai merely glanced at Long Qian Xing icily without answering.    

Thunk!    

The carriage behind him collapsed to the ground, leaving nothing more than charred ashes and wood. If there was someone inside, they would not be recognizable with the current condition.    

Seeing that, Long Qian Xing's heart sank.    

"NAN HUA!"    

Not caring about the soldiers behind him, Long Qian Xing charged towards the already reduced to ashes carriage behind Feng Ao Kuai. His entire body was trembling as he couldn't believe that he was still one step too late.    

Thunk!    

Kicking the board away, Long Qian Xing noticed that everything had turned into ashes. The entire wood and decoration were completely burned away. However, what he was looking was not the wood but rather bones.    

There were no bones at all.    

The fire at this temperature shouldn't have destroyed the body and bones until there was nothing at all.    

Where's Nan Hua?    

While Long Qian Xing's mind was in turmoil and the man was busy digging, Feng Ao Kuai was feeling a bit baffled. From what he knew, Long Qian Xing was someone with high intelligence who will not falter even in the face of someone so powerful like those great generals.    

Hell, even in front of the Emperor, he was still able to keep his calm and composure.    

But this time, Long Qian Xing had completely lost it all.    

Feng Ao Kuai was silent for a while. He knew that if Long Qian Xing were to use his brain a bit more… he would realize the truth of the matter. However, he had no intention of explaining things.    

"Bring him for interrogation. Tell me who's the one who order you all to do this?" Feng Ao Kuai looked at several men whom he had purposely left alive.    

"Let me do it." Long Qian Xing's voice traveled from behind.    

"You…" Feng Ao Kuai was about to reject him when he sensed the brutal killing intent coming from behind him. He was startled and immediately turned around. He could see that Long Qian Xing was staring at the carriage, yet his eyes were burned with the baleful flame of rage and killing intent. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be screaming the word 'dangerous.'    

How could a normal youth possibly be this terrifying?        

Feng Ao Kuai could faintly recall his father's story regarding Old Master Nan when the latter heard his loss of his friend. At that time, he flew into rage and bombarded Zhang Xu Kingdom's border with violent battering.    

Countless people lost their lives because of him.    

And no one dared to get close to Old Master Nan because of the terrifying aura that he emanated from his body.    

Everyone was afraid.    

Right now, Feng Ao Kuai could feel the same fear when he saw Long Qian Xing. In the past, he always thought that Long Qian Xing was a double faced annoying young man. But now he realized that his thoughts were not wrong.    

But they were not accurate.    

Long Qian Xing was not only a mere double faced. He buried his real nature hidden because no one would be able to withstand it once he unleashed his terrifying aura to the real world.    

"Alright." Feng Ao Kuai stepped to the side.    

Long Qian Xing looked at the ashes around him then walked towards the group of men. "Tell me who arrange it."    

"That's…."    

Krack!    

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaa!    

Terrible scream rang out. At this time, Long Qian Xing had stepped on the man's legs, completely crippling him. With great force, he rubbed his feet on the ground, destroying the bones into smithereens.
