Chapter 275 - War Against Kai Kingdom (1)
40 days after the assassination of the imperial family
Jun Hua stayed inside her carriage with a dark face. She did agree to not hold a sword anymore, but was it necessary for her to go to war with riding a carriage? She didn't want to stay here and did nothing while the soldiers were all busy waving their sword.
In this journey, Yamin and Xia accompany Jun Hua and they felt rather helpless when they notice Jun Hua's expression. It was clear that the little lady was not feeling good with staying inside the carriage as they were marching towards the Kai Kingdom.
"Little lass, if you don't put a good expression, your soldiers wouldn't know what you want to tell them," General Tou said from outside the carriage.
The general was riding a horse as he led the soldier with Jun Hua carriage near his side. Although he couldn't see the other party expression, he knew that Jun Hua must not have a good expression because she didn't like being confined inside one place.
Jun Zhenxian has bragged to him countless times about his granddaughter (much to his annoyance), so he knew that the little lass was not someone who could stay quiet inside one place at all. She would surely walk around or sneaking around to other places without anyone could hinder her.
"They can't even see me, General Tou," Jun Hua retorted.
General Tou put a wry smile. They indeed couldn't see you, but your killing intent still leaked out a little bit, making the soldiers felt the chill.
"If anything, the one they see is you, so you have to put a confidence expression and lead them into victory," she continued ruthlessly.
General Tou wondered whether he offended the little lady unintentionally, but on second thought he knew that she was only throwing a little tantrum because of her displeasure. In any case, she wouldn't be able to hold her sword in the battlefield anymore for a long time.
"We will soon arrive at the first city. Do you have any instruction for us, Princess Hua?" General Tou asked.
Jun Hua stared to the city in front of her. The Kai Kingdom only announced the war against Ming Kingdom, but she decided by herself that she would participate. Jun Qing and Kuina supported her, and her uncle even accompanied her until the border, but after that he had to return.
"I will give the formal proclamation that Mountain Kingdom is declaring war against Kai Kingdom," Jun Hua answered, "After that you will take over the rest."
"I understand," General Tou answered. He looked towards the other side of the kingdom. The war against Ming Kingdom should have started already and he wondered how the result of the war was going to be.
Jun Hua took out the map she had prepared beforehand and started to review her plan once again. She had reviewed them a few times, but she still felt that it was not enough, so she decided to do it again once more.
"Miss, drink this first," Xia handed her a cup of water.
Jun Hua took the cup and drank it. This was not her first time going to war with her only staying on the back, but she still didn't like the feeling. She looked towards Yamin and gave her instruction.
"Prepare for everything Yamin, the battle starts today."
"Yes Miss."

Kai Kingdom Palace
Emperor Mou looked at the war report against Ming Kingdom with a frown. The first clash ended in their loss because Soujin led his soldier at the front and deal numerous damages towards them. The power of that general was terrifying.
"He really reminds me of that monster, Lan Pan," Emperor Mou kneaded his forehead. When he first heard the news about Lan Pan's activity in Pan Kingdom, he knew that it would be the end of Kai Kingdom if that monster were sent here. Thankfully, the guy was already dead.
Now that he faced against Soujin head on, he finally understood why his other brothers never wanted to clash with Soujin. The other party has high martial arts, and he could dictate the battlefield easily. The poor soldiers in Kai Kingdom wouldn't be able to hold even an inch of his ability.
"Is there no one who could face General Soujin head on?" Emperor Mou swept his gaze to the officials. When his gaze reached them, they would look down because they can't answer. The best general, General Wei still lost against General Soujin, who else could they recommend to the emperor?
"Useless trash! Find someone to contend against that general!" the emperor bellowed.
The officials were all scurried away in annoyance because they knew that whoever they send wouldn't be able to face Soujin head on. They needed to find a cunning general that might force Soujin to fall into a trap and didn't need to face that martial art monster head on.
The door suddenly opened and a messenger hurriedly bows down.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Mountain Kingdom launched an attack towards Kai Kingdom."
Emperor Mou face turned livid when he heard the news. Although the Jun Family no longer has the famous general, they still have the capable Jun Family soldier and the mysterious strategist. They said that it was the princess, but who would want to believe that good-for-nothing princess was, in fact, the same as the strategist of Mountain Kingdom?
He looked towards the officials on the side, "Arrange strategy as fast as possible to contend against the two armies!"
With that order, they scurried away once again.
