252 Wind City

The night passed without any other disturbance.

The only disturbance occurred when it was morning and Nan Luo kept on asking for a fight with Feng Ao Kuai. In the end, their fight ended with the two of them racing towards Wind City with horses. The carriage would follow them from the back with enough pace to make sure that they would not be left behind.

Old Master Nan's lips twitched when he saw the two of them racing against each other. His grandchildren were so childish.

Uh, wait, they were still 10 and 11 years old respectively.

There was nothing wrong with them being childish.

"Little Junior, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shan Yu asked. He was steering the carriage and since the carriage was riding beside Nan Hua, he could see the young girl inside. Well, not literally see since there was a cover in the window.

Nan Hua glanced out. "I'm fine, Third Senior Brother."

"That's good." Shan Yu smiled. "If you have time, I would like to show you around Wind City."

Show her around?

"In that case, I thank you for your hospitality, Third Senior Brother."

Shan Yu nodded then looked at the front where the two children were still frantically galloping on top of the horse. He was really wondering whether they could really ride horse or not considering that their posture was a bit… bad.

Was it because they were too quick?

"Forgive my brother and cousin. They're too anxious to head into Wind City," Nan Hua gave the excuse.

"It's fine." Shan Yu laughed faintly. "They ought to be worried when they're visiting patients. If you don't mind, we'll follow you, Little Junior."

"Thank you."

Sitting inside the carriage, Nan Hua's eyes flickered as she looked into the distance. For some reasons, she felt that her harsh training as assassins back then had started to go to the drain. The foreign feeling that sometimes stirred her heart had started to become even more frequent.

It was strange for her.

Yet she also didn't wish to reject it nor pushing it out.

"We're here."

Both Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo had to stop before they could enter Wind City. Turning their head around, they waited for Old Master Nan to reach and showed their permit.

"Which way?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

"The East." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo. It was then he recalled that Nan Luo had never visited Wind City in the past. There was no way he would know about the location of his house.

In the past, it has always been him who came to the Capital City and met with Nan Luo, Nan Hua and the other step cousins. Hmm, he could barely pay them any mind since he disliked those people.

"Let's go." Old Master Nan looked around and sighed faintly. He missed this city. Unlike his grandchildren, he had come here a few times in the past, including the time when he married his daughter away.

That day seemed to be only yesterday.

But of course, he knew that it was already over a decade ago.

The group journeyed towards Feng Family Residence while Nan Hua looked through the window. She didn't know much about Wind City, but the layout alone told her that this city was built a long time ago. There were some old buildings but others looked brand new.

It seemed that the city was rebuilt.

One word appeared in her mind when she thought about that.

War.

Wind City was located near the border between Fei Yang Kingdom and the other two kingdoms, Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom. Zhang Xu Kingdom was located at the north of Fei Yang Kingdom. Whereas, Wei Da Kingdom was located at the northeast of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Wind City was not right at the border, but it would take less than half a day to reach the frontline from here.

And considering from the size, it could be said that Wind City was one of the important cities in Fei Yang Kingdom. It connected to many other smaller cities and also the villages around the area. If a war breaks out, the villagers would move towards Wind City for refuge.

It was a convenient location.

Nan Hua looked at the building, trying to estimate the time when it was made. However, it should be more than a decade ago. After all, she hadn't heard of Wind City fell to other kingdom's hand during Emperor Xuan's reign.

And history lesson from before told her that there was only one big war at that pass.

It was not here.

So it should be a battle during Emperor Huan's reign. As for what battel it was, Nan Hua was not sure. She didn't learn history extensively and it was also a fact that there were countless wars that occurred.

Not to mention, the record might not be complete.

"We're here." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his house and quickly jumped down. For the usually quiet and calm boy, he looked very anxious.

After all, he was still a child and couldn't control his emotion well when he was faced with such bad news.

Nan Hua looked towards the large gate in front of her. Feng Family was considered as one of the big families in Wind City. It might be because of General Feng's position or because of the other members in Feng Family who also had some administration position here. In any case, they were a rather prestigious family.

At the same time, they didn't live in the center of Feng City but rather slightly to the east. It might be because of the fact that General Feng had to be ready for war anytime.

Quite meticulous if she should say.

"Great General Nan," the steward of Feng Family was surprised when he saw the crowd. He quickly bowed. "Great General Nan, General Feng, his wife, and Young Master Si is inside."

Old Master Nan nodded. "Show us the way."
