Slash!
After getting the necessary information, the man died out of blood loss. It was not like they didn't want to save him but they didn't have enough equipment and medication. Only the woman was still alive, but she couldn't move.
Even speaking was extremely difficult. If not for Feng Ao Kuai pressing her accupoint to allow her to speak, she might not even be able to answer their question at all.
"What are you planning to do with her?" Long Qian Xing asked.
If he was the one who caught her, he would have proceeded with the formal things to do. But since the one who caught her was Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai, he had to follow what they wanted to do.
"We'll hand him to my father," Feng Ao Kuai replied.
Long Qian Xing nodded. "That's a good idea."
"Are we going back to Wind City?"
"Yes, the carriages will be ready soon." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua in Nan Luo's embrace. He hesitated a bit before he pointed at Nan Hua. "Can I… treat her wound first?"
"Hua'er is wounded?" Nan Luo was stunned.
"I think so."
Hearing that, even Feng Ao Kuai was anxious and began to look around Nan Hua's body to find out what injury she had. Looking at how anxious they were, Feng Ao Si was utterly speechless.
Didn't they see that she was perfectly fine seeing that her breathing was normal?
Also, Grandfather had taught them to bear with pain, right?
Why did they have to treat her as if she was such a fragile girl, ah?
Feng Ao Si felt that he would never be able to understand what was in his cousin and younger brother's mind.
Long Qian Xing didn't wait for Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai to finish their examination. He looked at Nan Hua's right hand and pulled it over for him to look. As he had expected, part of her skin was peeled off because she was writing on that bamboo stick.
After thinking for a bit, Long Qian Xing tore a part of his robe and bandaged Nan Hua's finger slowly.
Nan Luo frowned but said nothing. He actually wanted to do that too, but he was holding Nan Hua tightly so that she would not be sleeping on the ground. Thus, he could only glare at Long Qian Xing but said nothing in the end.
Feng Ao Kuai was the only one who was glaring daggers at Long Qian Xing. He then recalled the bamboo stick that they found along with the piece of cloth.
It seemed that the wound must have come from there.
In addition, they would have to concern themselves with Princess Yue's reputation.
After giving another look at Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing walked away to follow the rest of the procedure. He didn't want to leave any loopholes from this matter. Thankfully, those who came with him this time were his men whom he could trust better than the rest.
"Commander, are we going back?" one of the soldier asked.
Long Qian Xing shook his head. "How's the maidservants? Have you asked the result of the interrogation?"
"They're tough nut to crack but we manage to open their mouth." The other one grinned. He waved his hand. "Commander, you wouldn't believe how meticulous their plan was."
"Heh."
Long Qian Xing laughed dryly and went to the place where Feng Qian Shao interrogated the woman. Feng Ao Kuai noticed him coming and nodded before focusing on the woman once more.
Lin Xiang.
That was her name.
As Feng Ao Kuai had suspected, the woman was his aunt's sister. She came here under the order of kidnapping Princess Yue back in order to make the Emperor give their family more benefit.
Lin Family used to enjoy a lot of privilege and power until a few decades ago when they started to decline.. And it was during this period of time that it happened.
