Aside from Poison Deep that Nan Hua destroyed during her incognito visit to Zhang Xu Kingdom, there were still two more organizations. They were called as Zhang Chen and also Thousand Needles organization.
Strictly speaking, there were two organizations.
However, the two of them were technically one organization that was split into two divisions. Zhang Chen Organization was more well-known because they were technically bigger and had more people.
Thousand Needles have their number of people strictly controlled because they emphasized on skills and ability rather than number. As of now, Nan Hua didn't know their specific number, but she knew that the people who could enter the organization was very limited.
At the very least, not just everyone can enter.
'I can't deal with them yet.'
Most of the people who were part of the Thousand Needles were in Zhang Xu Kingdom. And it was harder for her to operate in that kingdom as of now because she had limited forces inside the kingdom.
Everything can only be done slowly but surely.
Tucking the token away, Nan Hua walked out of the building and regrouped with Nan Luo.
"Did you find something?" Nan Luo asked when he saw Nan Hua carrying some kind of token on her hand. The shape of token was quite familiar because it was also used to write the family name.
As part of Nan Family, Nan Luo had already used family token a few times for some things.
"The mastermind." Nan Hua showed the token to Nan Luo.
Seeing the two words 'Thousand Needles' written on top of the token, Nan Luo froze. He was not unfamiliar with these two words because it was one of the three organizations in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
When he entered the army, he was also given the lesson to pay attention to these organizations from other kingdoms. It was also at this time that he realized that Long Qian Xing was right.
The one who planned this was someone from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
"They're truly brave." Nan Luo's eyes were cold.
"The question now is where this person is." Nan Hua didn't see any corpses carrying silver needles as of yet.
As part of Thousands Needles, he or she didn't bring needles?
That would be a joke.
The people from the Thousands Needles were the most proficient in using needles and would always bring a set with them no matter where they go.
"Then let's try to search him." Nan Luo's expression was a bit grave. If the person from Thousands Needles hid, it would be hard for them to deal with that person.
Because they were in the light while that person was in the dark.
At almost the same time, Long Qian Xing walked out of another building. He was holding a cloth that had some embroidery written on it. If Nan Hua didn't guess wrong, it might be the clothes that belong to them.
"Check among the prisoners. He might be hiding amongst them." Long Qian Xing took a deep breath and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Yes!"
The soldiers quickly moved to check on each and every bandit who were captured. If they were to let someone from Poison Needles free, things would be extremely difficult for them. After all, the person from Poison Needles certainly have the necessary skill to cause chaos.
Their medical skills alone could cause a lot of troubles.
And the fact that they also practiced martial arts would make it harder to deal with them because they wouldn't know what kind of poison was hidden and how high the martial arts attainment was.
It was very troublesome.
Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing before her eyes landed on the female villagers. They were in bad state and huddled up at the side, cowering down. It seemed that no one would be able to talk to them.
Dressed in rags and skins covered in bruises, the sight alone would make one feel heartache. They were angry to the bandits who treated them so badly like that but they couldn't say anything.
In this era where the reputation of women is very important, what could they say to console these women?
They could only feel pity and then looked away to give the last bit of decency to them.
The soldiers were uncomfortable to look at them.
But Nan Hua didn't have such qualm. She was also not paying attention to their condition or anything like that.
Looking at the group of women gathered together and shivered, her black obsidian pupil narrowed slightly.
"What are you looking for?" Nan Luo had just finished ordering the soldiers to check the fallen bandits and the rest of the bandits when he noticed that his twin sister's attention was on the 'prisoners.'
The bandits took the women from the village, which was not something good. Nan Luo despised them, but he said nothing because he didn't know what to do.
So he was confused why Nan Hua was staring at these women.
Was she thinking about how pitiful they were? He felt that what they needed at this moment was not pity but instead encouragement because they would still live a long live after this.
"Nan?"
"Someone dangerous." Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo and then walked towards the group of women. In terms of treachery and playing dirty, Zhang Xu Kingdom had always ranked at the top. This might be the very reason why a lot of nobles chose to separate themselves from Zhang Xu Kingdom at the very beginning of the making of 6 kingdoms.
Uh, she was not too clear of the historical record, so Nan Hua could only make conjecture based on the situation and the few records she had heard.
But she knew that the capabilities of these people from Zhang Xu Kingdom certainly didn't only appear recently. It was something that had been deeply engrained in their bones for many many many years.
And there was also another matter that was important in treachery.
Acting.
