Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

City of Long Han, Nanglong family territory

Soujin looked towards the spy with complicated gaze. The news that the world would know was the fact that Jun family had separated themselves from Ming Kingdom. This news from his spy has the additional one; the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom was Jun Hua.

If it was other people, he would not care about him. But, since this news was about Jun Hua, he cannot do anything. Should he fight the Mountain Kingdom, the one whom he will face was the little girl, Jun Hua.

"Soujin, what is it?" Ming Hui looked towards the troubled Soujin with eyebrows raised. Had something happened with his friend?

They were in Ming Hui's office. Soujin had returned from his survey and stayed here for some time to chat with his friends. It was then he got the news he had been waiting for a month.

"Jun Hua is the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom."

Yan almost spurted out his wine. "The lass is that great?"

Being a strategist in an army is one thing, but being the military strategist of a kingdom is another thing. The scales of these two were completely different and they cannot be compared with each other. Controlling a small number of soldiers was highly different with large amount of soldiers.

Ming Hui was also startled. He looked towards the spy with unbelieving gaze. He can hardly come into the terms with that girl being a strategist, now she became the strategist of the kingdom? How in the world she managed to elevate her rank so suddenly during the time span of 1 month?

Soujin nodded. "Has this news spread out?"

The spy face was weird, but he narrated the event when Yasha had suddenly appeared and tell him that news. Hearing that, Soujin asked him to tell him the physique of Yasha which the latter narrated it perfectly.

"That was Yasha, right?" Yan remarked. "He's the one who came out when Lan Ping tried to run away."

Soujin also remembered that person. He could guess the person appearance from the description, but he didn't understand what the other party intention was by telling them these. Given how highly guarded this news was, it was likely that Yasha had come with another person order.

Ming Hui looked towards the book in front of him. "Soujin, would your guard listen to another person word?"

Soujin brows creased. There was no way his subordinate would listen to the words of other people aside from him. Given that he's their leader, they would listen to him and he had trained them to only listen to him. He would never allow them to follow other party order.

But that remark from Ming Hui made him understand. Among the Jun family, who can send Yasha? At the time of the incident, there was only one person who can order him to stop from killing Lan Ping since they cannot make him move from that spot.

"Jun Hua," Soujin muttered out.

"What is it?" as usual, Yan still cannot understand what was his friends were talking about. But, their expression seemed complicated.

Soujin now knew that the one sending the news was Jun Hua. Why would she want to tell him something like these? He didn't understand the little girl way of thinking, but if she wanted to tell him that she will participate in the war, she had succeeded.

Ming Hui sighed. "You better go to the border. They would be coming soon."

Soujin nodded. He no longer has any time here. Since the Jun family had declared their stand towards the world, it's time for their responses. And those responses were not exactly a kind one.

"Ming Hui, that girl of yours. Are you fine with her being sent to the battlefield?"

Ming Hui truly wanted to object it, but he didn't want to rob Fan Lanying from her dream. Since she wanted to become a great general in the future, then he would support her. It will be painful to wait here, but he should manage it.

"Soujin, please take care of her."

Soujin nodded. "I know."

"Don't let any mishap happened to her, or I will be chasing after your head."

Soujin didn't answer anymore and walked outside. Ming Hui sighed. It seemed in his case, the role of the male and female had been reserved. Usually, the female would wait for their man to return, but here he had to wait for his girl to return.

"Why don't you just marry her?" Yan didn't understand.

Ming Hui glared at the other party. "Men can only get married at the age of 18."

It is then Yan remember that Ming Hui is only 17 this month. Poor boy.

Looking at that snicker on Yan face, Ming Hui had to restrain himself not to pounce towards Yan. He didn't know martial arts as well as the other party. If he did try to fight, he will be the one to lose miserably instead of the other party that is if it's a formal fight.

If it's not a normal fight, Yan won't be able to get out from his bed for a week because of his needles.

"Don't bother me anymore, Yan. Find your family or what and scram!"

Being kicked out by Ming Hui, Yan tried to stifle his laugh. It was really funny for him to see his brother being tormented because of the other party age. He erased those thoughts from his head and returned to his home where his mother was already waiting. She was only lazing around, but she hurriedly rose upon seeing her son return.

"Mother, you don't have to get up."

"What nonsense are you saying? Of course I would sit down properly," Madam Qin said with unhappy tone.

Yan smiled towards his mother. "Mother, I will be going for some time. You can rest assured here."

"You're going again?" Madam Qin asked with wide eyes. "Is it because of the matter as Young Noble Han?"

"Yeah, I need to do some business," Yan answered.

"Don't work too hard, you also need to rest," Madam Qin smiled.

Yan nodded his head.

"So, where are you going this time?"

"Just the cities around here," Yan said helplessly. His mother would always ask him a lot of things whenever he came to visit the other party. Even now, she still did it.

"Can't you send your subordinates?"

"I prefer to do it myself," Yan shrugged.

Madam Qin nodded her head. She was about to ask more from Yan when the other party stood up and headed towards the door.

He opened the door and saw his brother standing there, "What is it, Ming Hui?"

"Here," Ming Hui handed him a small pouch, "You left yours in the office."

"Oh, I forgot about it," Yan kept the pouch. He looked towards Ming Hui who peered towards the living hall with inquiring gaze. "Is there anything wrong?"

Ming Hui shook his head. "No nothing."

"Do you feel envy because of my mother?" Yan raised his eyebrows.

"…" why did that thought come to your head?

Ming Hui ignored his brother and walked away since he already finished his business here. Yan eyed the pouch with wonder, when did he forget about his items? He was pretty sure that he would keep them safe since he loved his money.

Forget it. He walked towards the room again. His mother looked back at him.

"Who is that?"

"Just a friend," Yan answered. He was not sure what his mother reaction would be if she found out that man was Ming Hui. It would be better to not tell the other party for now.

"Oh," Madam Qin didn't pester it any longer.

"Please excuse me. I need to prepare myself," Yan said.

Madam Qin nodded and watched as her son walked away. Her eyes were watching Yan very carefully.
