Henan Zhong

Lue Zhen was not sleeping, he heard the knock and went to open it but he was prepared and careful, who could it be at this hour of night? She saw well-built young man walked out in court yard and opened the door after asking thrice who it was.

He went back when found out that there was no one; he went his room this time more alert.

She knew he would be alert but there was no other way to know who he was? And what was he doing here in this house?

She mustered her courage and sneaked in from side to side wall and threw the temporary wooded bolt of the door of the room where he was standing alert, just when he thought to put some measures he heard that someone locked the door from outside.

"Don't shout, if you did, it would be useless because before you could manage to come out, I'll be long gone, just tell what I wanted to ask," she mimicked the voice.

"What do you want to know?" he asked desperately in anger, he was addicted to tough and tense situations; he was newly recruited in army.

"I saved a family who lived here in this house four months ago from the attacks of royal soldiers but before I could dig out the reason behind this royal order, they left my mansion saying that they don't want to implicate, I wanted to know who are you, why are you living in their house, are you waiting for them to arrive here so that you could slaughter them?" she had thought about different possibilities and in severe condition she would try her most to eliminate this guy.

He was bewildered to hear that someone tried to assassin his family four months ago and he was ignorant about their sufferings but to hear that someone saved them four months ago from assassin attempt.

"Who are you and who chased my family four month ago and why?" he wanted to know what happened to them after that but it seemed who saved them also don't know their present condition.

"Family?" the word struck Henan head was that this man belonged to that family, "Yes! Family," he came close to the locked door and cried helplessly.

"Then you must have clue why they were chased away by the king order?" she asked more firmly.

"I am Lue Zen work in the palace security staff and my family belong to second generation of eldest brother of General Zhong, I know nothing else," he wanted to see his parents at this time, wanted to know whether they were safe and sound.

He was weeping like a child regret that when his parents were in danger, he was not there to secure them.

Henan was bewildered to hear his last sentence, second generation of eldest brother of her father, that means the man who was crying for his family was his cousin but if she let him know who she was, how he would react but then he spoke abruptly, "You saved my family four months ago I am indebted to you."

She heard composed footsteps outside the street that means soldiers were here to, sure they were here to investigate whereabouts of the family.

She opened the door and grasped his hand and gestured him to not make any sound, she lead him and they secretly escaped several. If she had not mustered her courage and reached to him in time, they were here to make last move.

Lue Zen was also well trained martial soldier so it was easy for him to follow the veiled black rob man.

After reaching away, she pointed her finger toward his house where soldiers were walking in and out; they searched all rooms briefly, came out and left the street.

They were here to catch the last fly of this house.

"Now tell me where they would have chosen to go in this situation?" he plundered with his mind for few moments and his eyes lit up.

"I have vague idea now, I wanted to go and find them, I am sure they will be fine," he stopped in his track and turned to the veiled man.

"You are my benefactor that helped and saved my family, if it doesn't affect, May I know the name of our benefactor?" he bowed to her.

She stood up saying, "I am Henan Zhong daughter of general Zhong," in her black rob and quiver behind her back and reflexive bow around her shoulder she looked some dark martial legend, "My cousin …sister," he barely could say, "Find them and me know that they are safe," and she jumped another roof nearby.
