Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Mountain Kingdom Road

Jun Hua was sitting inside her carriage as she listened to her people telling her the news of the attack in Nanglong Family territory just a few days before.

"So Soujin manage to return in time?" Jun Hua smiled at the news, "That's good!"

When the man suddenly has to return, she secretly sent her people to find out what happened. From them, she found out that the Kai Kingdom used the chance of Soujin going away from the territory to attack them.

"But to think that the old man was chosen as Soujin replacement…" Jun Hua frowned upon hearing that news. If Nanglong Souka was the one holding the control over Soujin's soldier, there was little doubt that they would lose in a matter of days.

"They nearly lose in just a few clashes," Yamin added.

Jun Hua wore a face like she had already guessed it. There was no way that old man could replace Soujin in terms of leading the soldier. If Nanglong Souka knew that Jun Hua was looking down at him too, he might consider burying his head into the ground out of shame, and that was if he still has a sense of shame.

Yamin looked at her Miss expression before continuing the report, "They also executed the spy, going by the name Madam Qin."

Hearing that name, Jun Hua stilled for a moment. She knew two people in their side going by the surname of Qin. Qin Shie was eliminated first hand from her mind because she had met with the other party directly and knew that she really loved Soujin, so it shouldn't be her. As for the other one….

"Yan's fake mother?" Jun Hua asked with a frown.

"Yes," Yamin answered carefully. Her mind thought about the word 'fake'. Jun Hua was also investigating the imperial family and found a rather weird secret. When Yamin first delivered the result of the investigation to Jun Hua, the girl looked rather perplexed. Now that the woman was actually harming her friend, Yamin was not sure how Jun Hua would feel.

Jun Hua didn't say anything for a while then she dismissed the other. Her finger tapped the table in front of her a few times as she thought about it.

"If you still didn't want to rest, I will tie you up for the rest of the journey," Jun Zhenxian barged into her carriage and said immediately.

Jun Hua looked up. Unknown to her, the carriage stopped for a moment in order to allow Jun Zhenxian got down and climbed up hers. Really, this grandfather of hers still didn't have any manners to barge into a girl's carriage.

"I'm resting properly."

"No, you're not," Jun Zhenxian put the paper in front of her away and looked towards the girl's eye, "You're clearly exerting your mind to think a lot of things, the news you get and the next plan after we reach the capital."

Jun Hua evaded her grandfather eyes, "That's already common. It won't make my wound worse too."

"You're really stubborn," Jun Zhenxian said with a sigh. He really didn't know what this little lass was thinking. There would be no need for him to force her to speak too if she didn't want to, so he just leaned back to his chair and pointed outside.

"There are a lot of children playing outside. Do you want to join them?"

"Grandpa…I'm already 15."

"15 is still a kid," Jun Zhenxian said, "Besides, you're not married yet, so you're still under my care."

"…" are you telling me to hurry and marry someone?

Jun Hua chose to ignore the last statement of her grandfather and looked outside of the carriage. They were passing through several small cities. and she could see the children playing with their friends on the street. Seeing them, she recalled her childhood, when she once played with other children too.

"If you want to get out, you can."

Jun Hua tried to move her body slightly. After finding out that she can move rather fine due to her grandfather forcing her to lie down for almost everyday, she had mostly recovered. She climbed down the carriage's steps. Within a short moment, she had arrived near the children.

"Hello," she greeted them with a smile.

The children were all looking at her in astonishment. This was the first time they saw someone as pretty as her and it made them speechless.

It took them quite some time to greet her back, "Hello, big sister."

Jun Hua smiled, "What are you playing?"

"We are playing…."

Jun Zhenxian watched as his granddaughter play with the kids on the grassland with a smile. He rarely saw her playing around like that and this view truly reminded him of his own son and daughter when they were still a kid.

"She really stood out."

Among the children there, it was really easy to spot Jun Hua with her extraordinary graceful movement and astonishing feature. Even if he stood a few hundred meters away from her, he was sure that he would be able to see her silhouette just fine and recognized the other party immediately.

"Old Master, there are several people coming," one of the guards reported respectfully.

"Clean them up, don't let her notice them," Jun Zhenxian answered immediately, "If you make any noise that let her realize the situation, I will increase your training using hers."

The guard said his agreement, but deep down he wanted to cry. With your granddaughter's martial art, there was no way she would realize the appearance of the enemy later than us. If you want her to not know about them, you should have put her at least one kilometer away from here.

He knew that he would surely get additional training after this, but what could he say? He has failed to come in time to protect them and his task now was to guard the two of them safely. With resigned feeling, he tried to do his job as quietly as possible.

In the end, Jun Hua didn't even bother them and continued playing for some time before saying her farewell to the children. She looked towards her grinning grandfather.

"If Grandpa wanted to play, you should have joined us," Jun Hua remarked.

"No way, I'm already too old to play games with kids," Jun Zhenxian immediately refused, "Though I might do that if we are not surrounded by the guards."

The guards: "…"

Hearing Jun Zhenxian remarks, they immediately turned their body around and looked towards the surrounding. The scenery in the mountain range was quite beautiful and today atmosphere was good, so they fixed their eyes towards the surrounding intently. It was as if they were afraid they would die if they didn't.

Jun Hua face-palmed, "Grandpa, you can play if you want and I will return to my carriage."

"I want to play with my cute granddaughter too," Jun Zhenxian immediately added.

"No thank you," Jun Hua answered and entered the carriage as fast as possible. If she stayed outside any longer, she knew that her shameless grandfather would start saying nonsense as much as he could.

She looked towards the paper on the carriage once more, this time she no longer felt as bad as before. The news of the battle will soon reach the other areas. She was curious as how they would react. Aside from that, she wondered how to explain her next plan to her grandfather without the other party being angry again.

Jun Zhenxian smiled at her granddaughter response and turned towards his own carriage. It has been quite a day, time to return back to the palace.
