Ambush

The wind was silently singing slow melody.

The leaves were falling from the trees and danced in accordance to the music provided by them.

It was a peaceful day.

The carriage continued to move and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. The guards were talking while guarding, the maidservants were making jokes inside the carriage to lighten the atmosphere.

Everything seemed normal.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of arrows were shot from within the forest.

"There's an ambush! Protect the young miss!" The head guard yelled and brandished his sword.

Following the dozens of arrows that were shot towards the carriage, several figures shot out of the bushes. It seemed that they were ready to make a move from the moment they heard that the carriage was leaving the Capital City.

As to how they knew that…

It was not exactly a secret considering that Nan Hua's carriage did bear Nan Family's symbol on their door.
