She wanted to see the present construction phase of forteBi from the hills and other activities of Fang Groups, if they were such powerful they must have a connection with Huns.The sky was covered with clouds; different posts of soldiers were a sign of life in the open, the night was sinking deep in silence. Today Wan Hu set out to check and watch the activities of the distant area.
He preferred to walk on foot than to ride the horse, it would be alarming for hidden enemies. He left the tent in the dark without anyone"s notice.
He was walking toward the rear end of forteBi.
The slight wind was blowing, Henan heard the flutter of clothes that means there was someone in her surroundings.
She carefully observed and walked, a man whispered to the other, "Our leader instructed us to bring the exact locations of soldier posts as soon as possible," his companion spoke, "But every part of forteBi site is strictly under guards of soldiers, and I heard that Prince requested martial soldiers from Royal State," the first one replied with hmmm, "Then move more carefully."
It soon started raining, Henan did not move, she was thinking either to follow or go back but if Fang men were brazen to send spy"s it means they must have something in their head.
She started to move forward.
The rain was not thick but the slight wind made it cold, splattering sound in the night and the silent made it thicker.
Wan Hu choose the most concerned path, and moved forward secretly, he did not hear any sound except that rain and some jackals howling in the forest, his senses told him that there was someone, he gripped his short dagger and stepped forward.
Henan could feel that someone was close to her hiding place, she also fisted her small dagger, and she was hiding in the four feet tall shrubs.
Wan Hu sprinted forward in an attacking manner and fell on the body pressing down with full force, restrained the hand which was carrying the small dagger which was ready to pierce through his throat, before he could slash this black veiled man, his opponent leg hit between his legs, he convulsed with pain, black veiled man pushed him back with full force but because Wan Hu was a well built young man, he could only send him away from his own body.
Both gripped their daggers hurriedly and glared each other in the night.
Henan thought that this man"s face resembles someone familiar, maybe closer look could tell who he was but who had time to take a closer look.
Wan Hu pounce forward but this time more alert, he forced his complete body over the black-veiled man because he did not want to let loose this black veiled man so that he had time to run toward his companions, when he pressed his body against the black-veiled man, the body was too slender and fragile, could it be woman? He jumped back with the thought.
"I think there is someone hiding there, we should find and slaughter him before he could go back and report Prince our presence," the second man answered with hmm.
Wan Hu and the black-veiled man at the source direction of the voice and captured their daggers; black veiled man moved forward and grabbed his hand, gestured him to hide better in order to not expose to them easily.
Wan Hu wanted to ask who he was but the black-veiled man hurriedly put his finger on his lips. Wan Hu Whispered in his her ears, "I can tackle them before they could make the first move," Wan"er, it was him, she looked closely at his face and it was confirmed that he was Wan Hu Shang.
He was little perplexed at the gaze of black-veiled man or woman and then thunder struck his head, he remembered the day when he was fighting with Fang men in a village and this stature carrying bow pinned down many Fang men, "Henan" he muddled in his mind.
He looked more closely the outline of her visible features, eyes, these eyes carrying pure innocence yet unbeatable resolve could be none other than Henan.
They were in the midst to resolve the ident.i.ty of each other when they heard footsteps of two men, Henan was sure so she whispered, "We need to find their exact plan, so do not move," now he was also sure who could it be other than Henan.
Henan never thought to preserve herself when it was Wan Hu.
Both retreated toward relatively long stems of shrubs and stood motionless.
Footsteps were coming closer, she instinctively hiding grab onto Wan Hu and buried her face in his chest and hands wrapped around his chest.
It seemed from childhood to up till now she never considered changing her way of hug; she hugged just like she used to hug in her childhood.
Since she wanted to hide, he wrapped his arms around her hiding her maximum; he felt that he could do anything for her. She had reached to his heart and pulse.
