Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Jun Min leaves Lin San and turned her head to look at Lan Gao Ya. That girl has been looking at her throughout the time. When she looks at that gaze from the girl, somehow her minds started to think about a plan, a really outrageous plan.

She keeps it inside and didn't bother looking at the girl anymore. On Lan Gao Ya side, she smiled. She will make Jun Min place his attention towards her.

Jun Min shifted her gaze back and walks towards their seat. Before she could reach it, she was stopped by a plump and short steward. The steward smiles at her warmly, but Jun Min only looks back indifferently. She may not know who this man is, but she remembers seeing him beside the first prince of Ming Kingdom, Prince Ming Kui.

"Is there anything that I can help with?" Jun Min said coldly.

"Young General, my Master wish that you can meet with him for a moment."

In this kind of public place, there is no way Ming Kui would talk about many sensitive things, but Jun Min eyes narrowed. If she was seen to be talking with Ming Kui, she might be labeled as his follower in other people eyes. She doesn't want to get dragged into that muddle of water called the palace scheme.

"Please tell your Young Master that if there is nothing important, this young general would excuse himself," Jun Min politely rejects him.

The steward still put a smile, "My Master is not that far, only several steps away from here. Please follow after me, General Jun Min."

Jun Min knows that this steward won't back down before she replied positively. Inside her heart she complained about the current state of affair in Ming Kingdom. Even the capital has become a battlefield for the officials.

Without any choice, she follows after the stewards towards the front seat. She could see from the corner of her eyes that Ming Gong is also there, but this prince is busy talking with other people. Before long, she arrives at the right place. The young prince stares at her with his eyes and smiles without mirth.

"Good day, Young General Jun Min. I believe this is the first time we met," Ming Kui greeted.

Jun Min nodded her head. She didn't have any chance to meet with the other party because Ming Kui and Ming Gong are all busy in the court. Given her age is still 15, she is not allowed to attend the court yet. Besides, she didn't do the official's examination.

"Is there anything the First Prince needs?" Jun Min asks back.

"Ming Kingdom will soon enter our most fragile state with many wars are bound to happen. Will you lend us your power?" Ming Kui smiled.

From Ming Kui previous intelligent, he shouldn't have realized this point. Jun Min gaze secretly landed on the person by his side for a split second. Indeed, he had gained quite a smart thinker by his side. However, Jun Min doesn't want to be used by this man.

She smiles back, "Defending the country is the duty of the general."

Ming Kui played with the glass in his hand. He obviously knows that Jun Min didn't answer to his offer right away. But he didn't mind it. If he could get the other party too easily, it won't be fun.

"I'm sure that I can offer you much more than what my brother did."

'There is no way you could.' Jun Min secretly thought to herself because she knows very well Yan's other identity. In any case, Yan didn't even try to rope her into his faction by offering money. They are all simply helping each other because of their similar purpose.

"I'm afraid I can't accept it for it is my duty and I don't require more from someone as high as Your Highness," Jun Min backs down once again.

Ming Kui face turned slightly ugly. If Jun Min previous words were to be heard by others, they would think that he's using his higher status as prince with direct lineage to force the other party. After all, Jun Min status as prince is merely decoration.

He looks towards the smiling face of the general before him. He can't understand how someone could look this harmless even though the other party is clearly the same person who killed many people in the battlefield. With a slight motion from the person beside him, he calmed himself down and waved his hand.

"There is no need to be so tense. I was just talking about things," Ming Kui said.

Jun Min would be an idiot if she takes his word for granted. "If there is nothing else, please excuse this one."

Ming Kui nodded his head and Jun Min walked away calmly. Each step is filled with power and confidence the other party didn't show when talking to him. The small figure of the young girl is brimming with the power and prestige of a true general.

"What do you think of that young general?" Ming Kui looks towards the person on his side.

The man tapped the table in front of him lightly as he straightened his seat. Just a glance at the other party and he could say that she is a genuine powerful martial artist. If they have to handle the young general themselves, he knows that there is almost no one who can be on par with him.

"Xuan Pei?" Ming Kui urged.

"He's quite a troublesome general. Behind the seemingly harmless appearance is a valiant general, who I believe match up to his name that we have heard before," Xuan Pei answered.

"Do you think he will consider our proposal?"

"I reckon he would," Xuan Pei answered, "I don't think it would be a good idea to associate with this man anymore."

Ming Kui nodded his head while Xuan Pei falls into contemplation. The young general is sure troublesome.

During the time the two people talk about her, Jun Min already reaches her friend. She found that the combination of Xuan Pei and Ming Kui to be more troublesome compared with the slightly idiot Ming Gong.

Yan looks towards her with interest. "What are you talking about with her and that prince?"

"There is no need for you to know," Jun Min answered. She remembers her original plan and looks at him. "Does Ming Xiao have married?"

"Well, no. The emperor always forgets about him," Yan said a matter of fact. On the other side, Ming Xiao ears perked up, it seems he's the topic of their discussion? Because of his location, he can only hear his name, though.

"Why did you suddenly ask for him?" Ming Hui pointed to the guy on the table near them.

"I need his help. Can you make a match-making for him?"

"I can."

"Match him with Lin San."

Yan almost blurted out his wine. Why should they talk about an outrageous plan on the time he's drinking? He almost choked himself with wine. And wine is his favorite drink, so he doesn't want to have any bad memories with it.

Soujin eyes turned towards Lin San. The girl is talking with others girl and even from afar, it's clear that this is a girl that has good talent. She's not a spoiled girl anymore and her conduct has grown mature in this time.

"Are you serious?" Yan wanted to yell if only this is not the public place.

Jun Min nodded. "I do."

Ming Hui played with his cup. "Well, she will be a good match with Ming Xiao. Besides, with her being match to someone without real power, Lin Tang can only dreamed about his hope getting more connection."

"You don't need to worry about Lin Tang. I will take care of him," Jun Min smiled deviously.

Yan is speechless, but he agreed. Looking at Jun Min expression, he knows that the Lin family won't end in a good note. After the last round, it seems that Jun Min hadn't satisfied yet and he will do another round. There will be another good show in the capital.

Soujin drank his wine calmly. The method in which Jun Min takes care of the problem is limited, but at least they are all interesting.

"I think it would be a good idea. You can handle it, Yan?" Soujin said.

"I can," Yan looks at Soujin's expression, "I understand. Leave it to me."
