Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Fan Lanying didn't pull Jun Hua too far, she only took her to the quiet place on the grassland. Choosing one spot for them, she quickly urged her to sit down on the ground.

"Why didn't you tell me that you migrated to the Mountain Kingdom?" Fan Lanying asked, feeling a bit wronged. She only knew it from Ming Hui when he told her that the Jun family already moved away from the Ming Kingdom.

"I'm sorry. The plan is not something I can share with others. If there is anyone who listens in, it will be really bad."

Separating themselves from the Ming Kingdom was an outrageous move that Jun Hua did with her family. If the Ming Kingdom knew about it beforehand, the plan would fail miserably and the scheme she made would never be done.

"You really should have told me," Fan Lanying sulked.

Jun Hua laughed. "I'm really sorry. But, you are really busy too."

"Well, that's true."

At that time, Fan Lanying already went with Ming Hui to their new place. The last time the two of them met was before the festival, at the imperial party. It has been a long time for them.

"So, you didn't blame me anymore?" Jun Hua smiled.

"I still blame you. When you have time, you have to practice with me. I insist," Fan Lanying said seriously.

Jun Hua nodded. "Then I will practice with you."

"That's good. You better don't forget about your promise."

"I won't."

Fan Lanying looked towards the Mountain soldiers. There were a lot of them and they all looked really strong, but they were all highly respecting Jun Hua from the way they acted around her. When she first saw the strategist of Mountain Kingdom, she almost felt that she was dreaming because the other party was no other than her best friend.

"It seemed you're a really good strategist."

"Am I?" Jun Hua followed Fan Lanying's gaze. "I think they are just used to me."

Fan Lanying smiled. "I guess, if not for the lost of your brother, you won't be here leading them."

That was not completely true. Jun Hua would surely use the guise of Jun Min if the other party was still alive. However, she didn't want to use that name anymore after the countless trouble it invite her during her time dressing as a man.

First of all, she didn't want to get hit on by girls, no matter how pretty they were. She is a girl for heaven sake and she didn't have that kind of taste. She only like one person and one is more than enough.

Secondly, she was tired of changing the place and dressing up as both Jun Hua and Jun Min. it was one thing that the clothes were annoying and a different thing for the make up to be different. The experience was better stopped.

Thirdly, she was looking even more girly now that she was already 16 years old. She couldn't pass off as a boy easily anymore. With some makeup it was still possible, but it has become more troublesome.

Lastly, she didn't want to hold the sword on the frontline for the time being. Leading the soldiers on the frontline and facing those enemies, it was time for her to stop for some time. Her body couldn't really catch up with the taxing amount of time she had spent leading the frontline all these years.

"You're right, but the condition is not as bad as you think," Jun Hua smiled. She knew that Fan Lanying must be worrying that she still couldn't forget about her brother while in fact it was just erasing her other identity.

"If you said so," Fan Lanying nodded. "Oh yeah, you need to teach me about strategy a bit. My father kept on pestering me that my brain didn't work in that field."

Jun Hua could imagine it. With Fan Lanying way of just attack frontline and give a lesson to them, she was sure that her tactics were easily countered. Previously, she was just leading a small squad which made it fine even if she was doing things like that. But now, she was already the 100 man commander with more roles.

"You can come to me anytime you like."

"Thank you very much," Fan Lanying smiled happily.

Jun Hua nodded. "Did your husband didn't come?"

Fan Lanying face immediately turned red. "He's not my husband! We're not married… yet."

Jun Hua felt amused when she saw the other party's red face. Ah, how she wished she could tease the other party. However, she tried to keep her voice calm because they didn't have much time and continued with the conversation.

"I see. He didn't come?"

"No, he has to do something in the city. Not sure what it is, though," Fan Lanying shrugged. At first, she did want Ming Hui to come with her, but he told her that he still had some business left in the city. In the end, she could only come here without him.

"He must be busy," Jun Hua smirked, remembering the time when the three of them dumping their problem to Ming Hui because they were going to the frontline. Ming Hui felt really irritated that time.

"I don't really know. Jun Hua, what is your plan for the future? You are the princess of Mountain Kingdom and even a strategist… I truly wonder what you want to achieve."

What did she wanted to achieve? At first, it was only simple revenge and getting her family out of Ming Kingdom, but now she wanted to unify the five kingdoms.

"I want to make the five big kingdoms to unify under one kingdom."

Fan Lanying mouth opened wide. "That was a really big dream. But, Ming Hui told me that they are going to do the same. I hope your interest didn't clash."

Jun Hua laughed. She knew that from talking with the other party on the other day. "Don't worry, it won't clash."

The two laughed again and continue to talk. They were walking their path towards their dreams with the hope that they would reach it in the future.
