”Mistress, someone is following us from behind. They should be the manor's personal guard.”

Han Feng's eyes flashed, he immediately bowed and whispered to Feng Qingxiao in the carriage.

That day, she seemed to be in a sorry state, but her little face that was covered in blood and dust was also filled with confidence and arrogance. There was no ordinary woman who had nearly been humiliated by a few criminals. There was only fear, panic, despair, and shyness.

At that time, he had already been deeply impressed by this princess, whose identity he had yet to know.

Afterwards, in his courtyard, her performance had exceeded everyone's expectations. She did not look like a lady from a famous family or a princess at all.

”Yun Zihuang …”

An extremely soft voice came out from his beautiful lips. He slightly curled his lips. This future Crown Princess was truly interesting.

”Bring that man over here.”

”Understood.”

Han Feng instructed in a low voice. Someone quietly left the carriage, and the carriage moved forward at the same speed as before.

”Who are you? ”Why are you following behind the carriage?”

The personal guard Yun Zhao had sent was stopped by two capable men. Startled, he was ordered to follow this carriage and find out the identity of the person inside. He was one of the top personal guards, who would have thought that the other side would discover his whereabouts.

”Please respond to your esteemed master. I have received the princess' order to come here.”

”In that case, follow me.”

One of them rushed back to report, and after receiving the order, returned to bring his personal guards to the side of the carriage.

The personal guards did not know the identity of the people in the carriage, but as they followed them, they could tell that the people in the carriage were not ordinary people. He cupped his fists and said respectfully, ”My name is Wei Yunming, personal disciple of the Marquis Mansion. I pay my respects to the Young Master and am here on the orders of the Princess. I await your instructions.

The carriage continued to move forward but slowed down a bit. Yun Ming peeked at the carriage as he tried to guess just who this young master in the carriage was.

After a long time, the person inside the carriage didn't say a single word, but only the sound of the carriage moving forward.

Yun Ming could only hasten his steps and follow beside the carriage as he whispered, ”This is something that the princess has asked me to give to Young Master. Young Master, please place your blood inside and give it to me.”

The curtain of the carriage parted to reveal a crack. Yun Ming extended a hand and stared fixedly at the hand as he handed over the item in his hand. He still did not see the young master in the carriage, only this hand. With a cursory glance, he saw that it was a large hand with distinct joints. His palms and fingers were covered in thick cocoons, and his skin was very dark. It was very different from the snow-white, delicate hands of those noble sons in the capital.

This hand belonged to a martial artist. It belonged to a person who had been practicing martial arts all year long and held a weapon in his hand. Furthermore, there were some old wounds on his hands. This meant that this young master had been through many battles, and might even have experienced life and death situations.

Because when the curtains were opened, he could vaguely feel the pressure that came from the gaps between the curtains. To be able to give him such a huge amount of pressure, the young master in the carriage must have had a killing spree. In addition to that hand, he also saw a length of sleeve. The texture of the cloth and the workmanship showed that the young master in the carriage must have come from a noble family.

He was secretly worried, thinking that it would be extremely inappropriate for the princess to send him to find this young master.
