Chapter 232 - Unexpected Reunion
A certain place a few minutes before
Ming Hui followed after Soujin and Yan towards the Yuan Kingdom since he wanted to see the place too. There was not much of a job he needed to do in the hospital and he was really bored. Fan Lanying was already going to the battlefield again with her father accompanying the little lass. Since he has some time, why not visiting the place?
However, the journey they have was not that smooth because of an unexpected ambush on the way.
"Seriously, there is still someone who dares to ambush Young Noble Han?" Yan looked towards the men who have fallen to the ground with a frown. With his status as the Young Noble Han, who would dare to attack him? Normally they would instead give him way.
Aside from that, the journey towards Yuan Kingdom was not made openly. There shouldn't be anyone that knew about his journey here.
"They know that you're Prince Yan," Soujin said calmly.
Yan eyes grew bigger. "Are you serious? How many people that know I'm the Young Noble Han? I always wear a disguise when meeting people aside from a few of them."
"There is a spy among us," Ming Hui concluded calmly. "No, it's not me if you suspecting me."
"…"
In the whole world, the least he will be suspecting will be Soujin, Ming Hui, and Jun Hua. The three of them knew his real identity. He was not sure about Jun Hua, but he thought that Jun Min had told that little girl since the girl didn't seem surprised when meeting them in that restaurant that day.
After them, there were only a handful of people who knew about his identity, and each of them was people whom he trusted. Yan face turned awful, who among them would actually sell him out and how much did the enemy knew about him?
"Did they tell you who?"
Soujin shook his head. "They don't know."
"Are you sure they are not lying?" Yan asked.
"With Soujin way of interrogating, I doubt they would dare to lie," Ming Hui said calmly. After saying that, he turned his eyes towards Pan Kingdom direction. Aside from him, Soujin was also looking towards that direction with frown on his face.
"What is it?"
"Blood," Soujin answered. "There are thick scents from metallic tang of blood. The west border of Ming Kingdom had fallen."
"The one over there is Lan Pan, right? Who could have beaten that monster?"
"I don't know."
They continue the journey until they reached the border. The scent of blood there was thicker and they could see a pool of blood in front of the gate. Aside from that, there were a lot of marks from battle. Dozens of soldiers were there, moving their body to clean up the mess.
They came closer and asked one of the soldiers there, "Whose blood is that?"
"It's Lan Pan."
"That monster was fighting here? Right outside the Yuan Kingdom?" ever since they heard about the loss of Ming Kingdom towards Yuan Kingdom, they knew that the military force of Yuan Kingdom had grown. But, they never know that there was a monster that can beat Lan Pan here.
Yan walked closer. "Who makes him bleed? Did he die?"
"General Jun Zhenxian, but no, he's still alive," one of the soldiers answered truthfully based on what Jun Family soldiers told him.
Hearing that name, Soujin eyes lit up. Did it mean that Jun Hua is here too? There was a possibility for that since her grandfather was here. He wanted to see them right away.
"Where is he?"
"He is in the nearby inn and currently looking for a doctor since he is wounded badly."
Ming Hui was startled. "I'm a doctor. Bring me to him!"
The other two followed after Ming Hui as he ran towards the inn where Jun Zhenxian was. The old man wound cannot be simply said to be bad, he had lost his left arm. Jun Zhenxian looked towards the young man in disbelief as Ming Hui hurriedly come closer to him.
"General Jun Zhenxian, let me see your wound."
"You're…" Jun Zhenxian started, but he stopped midway. He sat on the chair as Ming Hui did his best to stop the bleeding. The wound was really something, but thankfully Jun Zhenxian was a war veteran and he could bear with the pain from treating him while he was awake.
Soujin looked towards the wound with frown. Given how badly wounded he was, how can he still wounded Lan Pan that deeply? But, he didn't say anything until Ming Hui was finished with the treatment.
"Many thanks, Prince Ming Hui."
Ming Hui smiled bitterly. Even with this appearance, it seemed someone like Jun Zhenxian can still recognized him easily. He has met with this war veteran once before, but at that time, he was dressed as a girl. Although he had expected Jun Zhenxian to recognize him, he still felt rather surprised.
"You have sharp eyes, General Jun Zhenxian. You should not move your body too much, the wound may worsen."
"I need to go to the room next door," Jun Zhenxian insisted.
"Why?"
Jun Zhenxian looked towards Soujin, who was standing behind waiting patiently. Can he tell him about Jun Hua and the fact that she was wounded badly next door? He knew that the two of them had some feeling for each other, but he can't bring himself to tell the other party that Jun Hua was in fact Jun Min and she was wounded badly.
"General Jun Zhenxian?"
Still, he deserved to know at least a little. Preparing himself, he looked towards Soujin. "Jun Hua is next door, wounded badly."
After hearing that, it didn't even take one second for Soujin to run from the room towards the room next door. Yan nearly got knocked out from the speed that his friend suddenly exerted.
"That girl is hurt?" Yan was stunned. He knew that Jun Hua learned a bit of martial arts from the horrible memory of him getting beaten up by the girl. But how can she get hurt? Don't tell me that she participated in the fight against Lan Pan?
"She is hurt from blocking Lan Pan and giving me the chances to wound the other party," Jun Zhenxian lied. There was no way he can say that Jun Hua was the one wounding Lan Pan. If words were to spread, they would surely chase after the girl and a lot of problems would appear once again.
Ming Hui took his bag. "I better check her too."
Unfortunately, before he could get into the room, his friend already kicked him out.
