Chapter 950: If and Only If (3)

Dolls…         

    

Nan Luo didn't expect that it was actually the code name for these children. No wonder that Nan Hua told him that they were all dolls.     

The word sounded a bit strange, but Nan Luo had heard about it.     

It was a type of toy that needed others to operate because they couldn't do anything. Only their shapes were somewhat similar to that of human. Usually, the dolls were used in performances and Nan Luo had heard about it from his father when he was young.     

And to treat humans as dolls…     

"Mu Fang's number is 378." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Mu Sheng Xi. "If his number is this big, it meant that there are more than 300 other children out there."     

"Is his number the highest?"     

"So far, yes."     

Mu Sheng Xi's fingers clasped into a fist. He watched as Mu Fang's breathing was getting swallower with each turn and felt so heavy. It was so torturing to watch his family member dying in front of him without him being able to do anything.     

After a few more breaths, Mu Fang no longer moved at all.     

Nan Hua watched everything from the side and silently vowed to pay a visit to her master again. Facing against Zhang Xu Kingdom who has high proficiency in poison and medicine, Nan Hua really felt like a little child who couldn't do anything.     

Just this alone had already troubled her.

How could she possibly solve the problem of the soldiers who attacked the Mountain Tribe back then?     

When the people from Zhang Xu Kingdom finally perfected their soldiers, would it be possible for her to even deal with them?     

Nan Hua didn't know.     

But she didn't want to take the chance and wished to learn more about medicines so that she would be better.     

"If only Father can still roam at the battlefield…"     

"It's not your father's fault. If a family had done something wrong, they'll fall sooner or later because of what they did," Feng Ao Kuai interrupted.     

He had heard from Mu Fei Jiu about what had happened to Mu Family during their short discussion. While it was not enough for him to know everything about Mu Family, it was enough for him to know that the entire Mu Family truly deserved what had happened to them back then.     

Their action, their deeds, when everything was uncovered, even Feng Ao Kuai wondered how could they survive this long.     

Just because General Mu was at the battlefield and hold the title of a general?     

Or was it because the young Emperor couldn't hold the entire power of the court yet, resulting in them able to rampage the situation.     

Feng Ao Kuai didn't know.     

"Yeah… you're right." Mu Sheng Xi took a deep breath and turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. "Even though you're younger than me, you seemed to be older and wiser than me."     

In contrast, he felt as if he's nothing more than a brat.     

Older and wiser?         

    

Feng Ao Kuai really felt that those two words should have been directed at Nan Hua rather than him. He was nothing compared to Nan Hua and what she could think inside her small head.     

"Let's clean up. We'll continue departing to Tou City tomorrow."     

"Yes."     

…     

The atmosphere was heavy.     

Even after a night of rest, the soldiers had caught the wind that these people were all former nobles. After all, Nan Luo was not the only noble child amongst the soldiers.     

However, they also caught another point.     

They were all children of those fallen nobles who was deemed to be guilty during the cleanup in the Capital City. Aside from the children from nobles, there were also many of them who were unrecognizable.     

It seemed to be a mix of ordinary youngsters and also noble youngsters.     

"It's the Tou City upfront."     

Nan Hua raised her head. She had never paid a visit to the North border before, so this was the first time she ever came here. The city was quite big and looked quite prosperous. Even when there was such a devastating events, the people there were still doing their daily works every single day.

"Halt!" the guards brandished their spear, blocking the route.     

"I'm Mu Sheng Xi, Young Commander Mu, here under the order of General Wei to investigate the matter of the sudden deaths."     

The guards looked at one another and then shook their head. "We can't let you in."     

Mu Sheng Xi frowned. "Let the leader speak with me."     

"The leader has no time."     

"This is the Military Order, do you want to go against it?"     

"In order to make sure that the city is save, we're not allowed to let anyone from outside in." The guards were also equally stubborn.     

There were already a lot of cases of death people recently. The people were all terrified and even though they looked like they had working normally, they still didn't open the city. No one was allowed in and out.     

The guards were standing there to make sure that no one breaks this rule.     

"You…"     

"Wait a moment." Feng Ao Kuai saw Mu Sheng Xi was about to brandish his sword and quickly stepped forward. "Excuse me, but do you have any ideas about the people who were attacking the city?"     

"What do you mean?" the guards furrowed his eyebrows.     

"We're attacked on our way inside and found out that these attackers were all bringing tags that written as dolls." Feng Ao Kuai showed a mirthless smile. "It meant that there is someone from this area who's the real mastermind. Would you be able to guarantee that this person is not someone from inside the city?     

We're here from the north under the order to investigate this matter not because we're doubting your capabilities. It's because we're worried that you might be misled by the person who stay beside you but actually…."         

    

As Feng Ao Kuai begin his negotiation, Nan Luo was resisting the urge to cover his face with his hand.
