Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

The scream and sound of glass breaks filled the entire square. The people become panicked because they don’t know what is going on. Many of them try to escape from the square to save their lives and that action instead cause the chaos to grow bigger.

It was at that time several people suddenly attacked the guards. They used the chaos they had created to carve a path towards the guards and launch an attack. With many innocent people around them, they serve as the best meat shield for these people.

”Don’t let them come near her!” the head guard yelled. They cannot let these men attacks to succeed or he won’t be able to face the emperor anymore.

Those people sniggered when they hear the useless command. With the puny ability of these guards, they won’t be able to stop their advance. They move forward towards Lan Gao Ya. Some of them engaged in the fight while the others are running towards the girl.

Lan Gao Ya smile brightened. She had waited for the perfect opportunity to escape from this place and they indeed take the bait she had planted. Of course, she suffered some loss, but it’s all worth it if she could spare her life.

”Come with us,” the guard move to force Lan Gao Ya into the prison again, away from these people.

Lan Gao Ya eyes narrowed and she wriggled her hand a little. From inside her sleeve, she took out her hairpin and stabbed it towards the guard who held her. The guard yelled and looked towards Lan Gao Ya with disbelief. How can this little girl be so fierce? Didn’t she was afraid to the point of crying when she encounters them yesterday?

After releasing herself from this guard grasp, Lan Gao Ya moves her feet. Running towards the incoming people, she yelled, ”Now!”

One of the women from that group come forward and took Lan Gao Ya into her back. Her powerful arm protected Lan Gao Ya from the guards and she moves away from the place as fast as possible.

Looking at the speed at how they can advance and retreated as they like, the head guard face paled considerably. He knows that they are all professional and know what they are doing very well. The question is, how could an innocent girl like Lan Gao Ya possibly have any connection with these kinds of people?

His question left unanswered as the people retreated as fast as possible the moment they get a hold of Lan Gao Ya. They quickly disappear and the people in the square are in chaos. Not a single one of the influential figures appears during the critical time, giving Lan Gao Ya the time she needed to escape.

”They disappear,” one of the guards said with a quivered voice. They know, they have done a big crime to let a convict get away.

The head guard eyes turned lifeless and he struggle hard to wave his hand. The other guards quickly move to secure the area and calm the panicked crowd. At the very least, he needs to take care of the mess in order to have the chance to beg for lenience. Despite he knows the chances are terribly slim, there is nothing else he could do.

This is the worst experience he had when he’s about to execute a prisoner.

While the square is in chaos, the group of people already gets out from the capital towards the forest. The moment they reach quite deep into the forest, they stopped their track and let Lan Gao Ya got down.

”Nice work,” Lan Gao Ya said with satisfaction.

The leader face didn’t change as he looks towards Lan Gao Ya coldly, ”We have come as you ordered us. Now, give us the information about that person.”

Lan Gao Ya nodded and takes out a piece of paper. She gives it towards the woman on the side who checks the paper carefully before nodding her head.

”The information is all here,” she said to her leader.

”It means that you are not needed anymore,” the moment the leader said that, one of the people put his sword into Lan Gao Ya neck. The location of the sword nearly grazed on the girl neck, making slight pain on her.

Lan Gao Ya didn’t know martial arts as good as them. At the very best, she can only use a little bit to make her slightly stronger than women, but it’s usually useless towards even ordinary men. Nevertheless, in front of this group of experts, she didn’t show any fear when being threatened and a smile instead carved up on her lips.

”Do you think you can get away if you kill me?” Her voice is devoid of any emotion. Even when she sees these people fighting brutally in front of her, she didn’t flinch and instead move by herself to set herself free.

”Do you think you’re invincible, little girl?”

”If I didn’t meet my people in several hours, they would give the information about your group to your enemies and the information you had will be useless,” Lan Gao Ya lips curled up.

The leader’s eyes narrowed as he looks towards the girl in front of him, ”You’re truly a cunning little lady.”

”Thank you for your compliment,” Lan Gao Ya smiled.

The leader waved his hand and the man put his sword down. He stays silent for a moment before saying, ”Someone like you who lives by selling and buying information won’t be able to live long, little girl. Even if you get away from us, there will be others who come after you.”

”It is my concern and not yours.”

”Indeed. I hope we don’t meet again, little lady,” the leader said before moving his feet and the people followed after him. Before long, they have disappeared from in front her and Lan Gao Ya secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

”That was close,” if she didn’t have to she would choose not to use this group to help her. However, they are the best option to have a successful rescue mission and she did need their help very much. Still, the information she had given them is too big.

She shook her head to not think of her loss. She needs to get away from this place as soon as possible.

Before she could move from that spot, she hears a voice coming from behind her. ”The information agency from Lan Family is in your hand, am I right?”

Lan Gao Ya tensed up and quickly turned her body. She stares at the person before her with astonished eyes for she didn’t expect there would be anyone who knows about her escape route and her secret.
