Ch 406 - 410

Chapter 406 - The Battle Begins

"You despicable!" Mu Fei Xin couldn't help herself and blurt out when she heard what Hai Fa Xia said.

It was not a secret that Old Master Nan valued his family greatly. Back then, he didn't even care about what the Emperor said when he took his two grandchildren and daughter in law to his residence. Even when the Emperor berated him, Old Master Nan kept firm to keep the young children with him.

Since then, a lot of people were targeting the two children. Unfortunately, Nan Family Residence was like a fortress and those assassins who entered would never be able to get out alive.

Thus, they were all waiting.

Waiting for the time when the two children finally left the residence so that they could make their moves.

Now, he was the one who finally had the chance.

Hai Fa Xia let out a faint laugh and looked at the two children. "Do you really think that you're something just because of Mu Family? Your Highness, let's just do it like this."

Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Mu Fei Xin, dragging her away from Prince Yang Lu.

"Kyaaa, let me go!"

"Let her go!" Prince Yang Lu tried to pull his sword, but he found out that he couldn't even move his body properly. It was as if he was tied by countless threads of lead that connected him to the ground. So heavy.

"If you really want me to not hurt her, you better listen to what I'm going to say, Your Highness." Hai Fa Xia signaled with his hand to take Mu Fei Xin to the side. At the same time, the guard took the fan she carried with her. They wouldn't want to take the risk of getting attacked when the poison finally no longer effective.

Mu Fei Xin was glaring at Hai Fa Xia as if she wanted to drill a hole on his body. She was mad, but she also couldn't really move. Right now, her life was in the hands of Hai Fa Xia.

Prince Yang Lu gritted his teeth, glaring at Hai Fa Xia. He really wanted to say that Hai Fa Xia wouldn't be able to make him do what he didn't want to do. However, he really didn't want to lose Mu Fei Xin.

'What should I do?'

His mind was in turmoil despite the hardened expression on his face.

"To think that you will be someone with weakness." Hai Fa Xia studied Prince Yang Lu's expression and shook his head. When he heard from Concubine Hai that the young prince was a bit soft at times, he thought that he was hearing things. But looking at the way things were going on, it was clear that Prince Yang Lu indeed care for those who were close to him.

For ordinary people, this trait might be good.

But for those who were standing at the peak, this would be their weakness. The weakness that other people would be able to exploit in order for them to get what they wanted.

'But for him to be like this is better than a stone heart person who didn't even care about anything.'

Hai Fa Xia glanced outside as the sun had started to rise. "Commander Hai had started to make the move. With Kuai City in the center and many other cities around will be sending their soldiers and manpower, we won't be defeated so easily."

Prince Yang Lu stayed silent. He was glaring at Hai Fa Xia as he tried his best to gather strength in his weakened body. The poison acted as if it wanted to tie him so tightly that it was impossible for him to move.

However, Prince Yang Lu didn't want to stay here.

"How boring. Kill the soldiers here first."

"Yes!"
