Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

299 Gathering Together

The battle soon ended and most of the soldiers from Ming Kingdom were either captured or escaped. Soujin let Lou handle all the matter as he met with Jun Hua, Yan, and Ming Hui on the top of the wall. He came the last because he needed to handle some matter beforehand.

Yan waved to Soujin when he appeared, "You are really something. Why don't you tell us about your and Jun Hua plan?"

"It's Princess Hua for you," Soujin said calmly.

"You still didn't answer my first question."

Ming Hui shrugged. "Why should he answer it? It's clear that you wouldn't understand anything even if he tells you."

"My IQ is not that bad!" Yan protested.

Soujin didn't say to him is because he didn't know when Jun Hua can come to the border. He could have planned another plan in case Jun Hua didn't come, but he wanted to trust her. Because of that, he waited patiently.

Jun Hua walked towards Soujin. "Sorry that I took so long."

Although she had already prepared the soldiers on the border, it took her some time to make their condition back to the prime. Because of her training, they were already on the verge of death. She has no choice but to wait and secretly yelled towards her uncle inside her head because he was the one who ordered them to train again.

Seeing that Soujin was still the same as before, she felt relieved. He was indeed someone really amazing, she shouldn't have worried about him too much.

"No, you come earlier than what I thought," Soujin caressed the girl's hair.

Jun Hua didn't protest. "That person on Strategist Wu side, is he someone you send?"

"No, I didn't send him," Soujin shook his head. Jun Hua looked up at him, their difference in height made her unable to see his face clearly without looking up.

"Rei was my father right hand. When the matter in my family happens, he is away on a mission. When he returns, he said that he is going to sneak into the emperor side and make his way to become someone they trusted before moving."

Soujin really admired Rei for his dedication. For almost 14 years, he waited and climbed on Strategist Wu side little by little. In order to become Strategist Wu right hand was not easy and Rei must be holding himself back really hard all this time. All these years of preparation were for one single moment, the time when Strategist Wu didn't have his guard on.

Rei could move far earlier because there were chances in the past too, but he didn't do it. He had to wait for Soujin to be ready because once the four people were gone, the emperor would be heading to his doom. Soujin must be ready to face the other kingdom eyeing the kingdom, so he waited.

"Before us, there might be someone else moving," Jun Hua eyes flashed with interest.

"Who is it?" Ming Hui turned his head curiously.

"Xuan Pei," Soujin answered. "With the opportunity given to him, he would surely use it to force the emperor down."

"That sharp teacher? I thought that he was only a smart person," Yan murmured.

The other three looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world. Seeing their gaze, Yan felt that he has done something wrong, what was it? Could it be that his IQ has dropped to unprecedented heights that he couldn't understand what was going on?

"Xuan Pei is a spy from Pan Kingdom," Jun Hua explained, "He hides his track deeply, but there is still some traces left on him."

"I see… wait, what? How do you know something like that?" Yan brain finally processed what happened. He looked towards the three of them with inquiring eyes, "Is there anything that I missed?"

Ming Hui yawned, "You missed a lot of things. What kind of talented scholar wants to stay teaching a bunch of ladies, unless he's a pervert like you? He is only trying to keep a low profile until the chances arrives."

Yan wanted to berate Ming Hui. 'How dare he call his own brother like that? He is a good man!'

If the other three were to know what he was thinking, they would surely scoff at him. Which part of him considered as good? He was a money grubber and women chasing man. In which case, Jun Hua would gladly beat him up if not for her knowing his real side hidden behind the amusing fa?ade.

"So, what do you think he will do?" Ming Hui asked.

Soujin shrugged. "Who knew? Whatever it is, he will not let the emperor rest easy."

"Does it mean you're going to let him have the emperor? What about your revenge?" Yan looked in confusion.

"Of course not," Soujin said calmly, "If the emperor is that stupid, we will not take this long to take him down. Xuan Pei would not succeed easily."

Jun Hua felt a bit disagree. If the emperor was not stupid, how could he let those spies got close to him? The people whom he could really trust were limited and the rest of the people who were still alive were definitely not one of them. But, he has big power behind his back, which gave him the right to do many things he wanted to.

"We will leave it in your hand then," Ming Hui said as he got up, "I and Yan only have small grudges with him, but you and Jun Hua have big grudges with him. Whatever you want to do with him, I won't say anything."

From the time he knew that Jun Hua was Jun Min, he could faintly picture just how big her grudges towards the emperor would be. Killing off her family, turning the public opinion against her, forcing a kid to hold a sword, all of them were just for the sake of having control over the entire kingdom. He made her live a life that did not supposedly belong to her.

Soujin too lost his father and those people close to him. That experience made him forces himself to grow stronger everyday in order to take over the Nanglong family and get away from him.

Yan nodded, "He's not really my father, so I don't really have many grudges with him anymore. If anything, I just hate him for what he did as the ruler."

Soujin nodded. "It's not a problem to me. Don't regret your words."

"I won't," Yan smirked. He looked towards Jun Hua, "What about you? Don't you want to have some revenge for your brother?"

Ming Hui was really speechless at his brother speech, "It should be for her family, not only her brother."

Well, if he knew the truth that he has been beaten up to a pulp by a girl, what would his feeling be? After all, the brother of Jun Hua was in fact herself. Somehow, Ming Hui truly anticipated that moment.

Seeing the evil smirk at Ming Hui, Yan wanted to get away as soon as possible. He was sure that this demon doctor was imagining something scary again. He hastily said farewell before bolting out the room, leaving the other three.

Jun Hua shook her head lightly, "Rest well, General Soujin. Tomorrow is going to be a long day."

"You too," Soujin smiled as he saw Jun Hua walked away.

Ming Hui smiled. It seemed, he was not the only one who has to wait for the time. He truly wanted for the war to end…
