I walked slowly and occasionally hid myself behind the darkness of the night.
I don't know what those people were looking for, did they find any strangeness? or did Xiu Huanran leave a gap when entering Nanbao territory that raised suspicion?
But, it's impossible. My second brother was meticulous and cautious in his every action. Nanbao is indeed a small area that is heavily guarded and cannot be underestimated the defense in this region. That is why Nanbao still stands strong even though it is surrounded by three large Empires that in fact have more abundant power and resources.
The climate and terrain of the Nanbao region was complex, steep and unpredictable, making the three empires also think twice before fighting to capture Nanbao territory.
One of the privileges of Nanbao which has a small region is very prosperous and neatly structured than the three empires that have a large area but the level of poverty is still spread in each region.
I like Nanbao more. It's not that I don't like Shen, it's just that Shen is too complicated for me to prefer freedom and simple things.
I continued to twist and turn when I saw those people hiding on the roof of a building or a big tent. Didn't want them to recognize me because I was so sure the person who sent them had power in Nanbao who should have recognized my face at the banquet.
Walking quickly then circulated my gaze around the road with a look of confusion, "Can't stray, can't stray~" Gumamku slowly by repeatedly saying the sentence while remembering the direction of the road I previously passed.
This is how complicated it is when I am indeed blind direction is very difficult to remember the direction of the way home.
"Left-right, North-south, East-west, Southeast-northwest, Northeast-southwest." My murmuring was slow with a slight pitched like obscuring the direction of the wind.
"So I went out and went through the north gate, which means I have to go to the south to get back." I said slowly and then continued my steps.
Using the body-lightening technique I had, I quickly headed south.
'Gotcha, ' Finally after a while I saw the towering gate barrier wall.
It was easy for me to pass through the gate by using a little trick on the soldiers guarding the gate.
I used a large stone that I deliberately threw far in the opposite direction to make a sound, it is true that the guard soldiers checked the situation as I should have planned but I did not expect them to split the task of checking things out and keep quiet guarding. Aiya! It wasn't easy, I was already very sleepy.
I ran very fast and fast after hitting the nape of the soldier who was guarding it until I fainted. Then run while using the knowledge of body lightening and speed special belongs to Baijin Hu, until only my shadow is visible. Some of the people I've been through may just feel the wind beating on them.
Arriving in the room where I will stay while in Nanbao, I sat down to fall on the floor—awhile I need to neutralize my breath that hunt great. Glanced at the room to make sure again that I did not enter the wrong room, because I knew that I was very careless. Sighing deeply upon seeing this room was still the same as before.
I quickly got to my feet, changed into my sleepwear and dropped directly onto the bed when I heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
POV END'S.

"Report! Young master, the intruder slipped through the north gate. We are currently deploying troops to capture the intruder" explained one who is thought to be the military commander of the way he was dressed.
Sima Junke who is not resting because he is waiting for the latest news from Kangjian who is exploring the center of the capital Nanjing for a business. The man looked intently at the military commander who reported the intruder.
"How can your men be so negligent? Where did the intruder go?" Sima Junke asked sharply.
"According to information from several testimonies— the intruder leads right to your place, Young Master. That's what makes me rush to see you to make sure you're okay" replied the Military Commander, who was impressed to curry favor.
Sima Junke put on a lazy face while waving a hand telling the military commander to leave. Then he said, "I'm fine, you—" paused.
'Xiu Qixuan,' his inner being remembered the troublemaking girl he had perched on.
The place where the girl lived was very close to the building where she lived. The unknown intruder leads to this place, causing Sima Junke to worry about the injured girl. Didn't know he— the intruder was Xiu Qixuan himself!
Walking quickly to the building where Xiu Qixuan lived, when Sima Junke entered the door of the building was seen a spacious room which also contained a bed that lay a beautiful girl on it.
Step slowly so as not to cause a sound that will disturb the girl's sleep.
Xiu Qixuan's frown slightly shriveled because the girl was actually not asleep, but Sima Junke who saw it smiled faintly thinking that Xiu Qixuan was dreaming of a complicated thing, but, then the man slowly stroked Xiu Qixuan's forehead.
"You're so sweaty, are you feverish as the shaman previously said?" Sima Junke muttered involuntarily slowly wiping the sweat flowing from Xiu Qixuan's forehead with his sleeves.
'What fever? I've been exercising running fast, you know?' Eluh Xiu Qixuan in his mind.
Sima Junke sat on the side of the bed and confirmed the position of the blanket covering Xiu Qixuan's body.
Occasionally the man checked Xiu Qixuan's body temperature by sticking his palm to Xiu Qixuan's forehead to see if there was a drastic change in body temperature.
Unwittingly Xiu Qixuan who was pretending instead fell asleep for real because she could not hold back her drowsiness.
For a while Sima Junke was silent with a look on Xiu Qixuan's face.
Sima Junke then stepped up and walked away after making sure that Xiu Qixuan was comfortable, safe and calm in her sleep.
••••••••••••
Morning Day.
"Hoaam," Xiu Qixuan stretched her body then moved and stepped staggeringly as she was still sleepy, but she forced herself to prepare to meet Old Madam.
'Krieet,' The sound of the door opening.
He rudely opened the door to call and ask the servant girl for help just like the day before.
How surprised he was when he saw Sima Junke standing on the doorstep staring at the look of waking up his very cozy sleep.
"You—what's in here?" Xiu Qixuan asked slightly stuttered in surprise.
"No need to ask, just clean the dirt on the corner of your lips and cheeks first. Embarrassing," Sima Junke said with sarcasm.
Xiu Qixuan reflexively covered her mouth and cheeks with one of her arms then the girl quickly entered and re-closed the door.
'Brakk, ' The sound of a door slamming hard.
'Very embarrassing, my drool spot was seen in front of that annoying guy. It's okay, it's very human. Yes it is very human, ' muttered Xiu Qixuan in her mind trying to calm herself down, as the girl felt the cheeks and corners of her lips.
"Hey, this isn't embarrassing! since I'm just a human being, this looks very human!" Xiu Qixuan said loudly from behind the door to Sima Junke who had been trying to hide his laughter ever since.
