Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

On the headquarters, Ming Hui was busy as always to tend the wounded people. Their number kept on increasing, but most of them couldn't reach this place in time because the battle was still going on. Ming Hui wiped his sweat. This was still early in the morning, but he already felt tired.

"A few hours have passed," Ming Hui looked towards the sun position. He sat down on the ground for a few seconds to rest his muscle. Treating for a long range of time was basically insane, and he too found himself felt extremely tired.

Staring at the battlefield, he noticed that Jun Hua already moved out from the headquarters along with the soldiers from the Mountain Kingdom.

"That young general already moved out… You better don't exert yourself, or your wound might not heal fast enough," Ming Hui sighed. With that kind of weary body from countless fight, training, and weird martial art, he hoped that she would succeed. More importantly, he hoped that she could do it without exerting herself. If her wounds deteriorate again, the one who suffer the most would be her.

"Doctor Hui, please help over here."

"I'm coming."

…

Shu was still showing extraordinary battle ability in front of Yan as the number of soldiers from the Pan Kingdom decreasing rapidly in front of him. They were either wounded or dying under his blade. From the back, Yan only helped a little bit.

Ye Jiu was tempted to go there and fought against Shu, but the soldier he instructed had returned.

"Princess Hua is among the army. They seem to have the intention of going away from the battlefield."

"Going away from the battlefield?" Ye Jiu repeated that phrase once again as he stopped his movement once again. While the soldiers were fighting around him, he thought hard about the news his subordinate bring him.

If they planned a sneak attack, he would gladly welcome them, but if they planned to split their soldiers into two and attacked the capital while he was busy, that would be a disaster. Although he was powerful, there was no way he could be in two different places at the same time.

Should they do this tactic from earlier on, he might be caught off guard and chose to stay here and fought with Soujin. However, because they only did this at the time when Soujin already down, it seemed they have a different plan. But, what was their plan?

Looking at Shu who was still fighting in front of him with such vigor and glancing at him repeatedly, he knew that he was inviting him to fight. However, Ye Jiu could see that Shu is exerting himself. Such fight would not interest him in the slightest.

"Let's chase after that princess," on the other hand, capturing the beauty would be more tempting for him. Aside from her important position in the Mountain Kingdom, she was known as the princess of Ming Kingdom too. With two important roles pinned on her head, there was no doubt that she would be protected heavily, and the real main army would be those people guarding her.

If she were to pass them and headed towards the capital of Pan Kingdom, he would be put into a difficult position and thus ending the fate of Pan Kingdom. Because of that, he chose to chase after her by himself.

Yan noticed that Ye Jiu walked away from them and his face looked grim.

"He didn't take your provocation. Shu, return to my side."

"Yes," Shu moved back and go towards Yan side. Because of the hard fight, he was completely drenched in sweats and his breathing was rough. Fighting like that for a long time was hard for him and he couldn't do that too often.

"Protect us," Yan instructed as he put his blade down. That was really tiring. He looked towards the area Jun Hua went as he sighed. Actually, they have discussed this plan beforehand when Soujin was still healthy. However, Soujin objected heavily because he didn't want to use Jun Hua as the bait.

Because of their disagreement and long argued, the tactic was put into the back. At that time, he noticed that Ming Hui already wore a dark face and seemingly ready to erupt at any time, but his brother still hold on in the end. He thought that Ming Hui also didn't like the idea, who would have thought that the other party instead would be the first person to agree on the plan?

Since this time there was no Soujin, the role was changed into his and the detail changed a lot. Yan almost felt like Jun Hua wanted to send him to his grave, but since the rest of the commanders agreed, he didn't have any choice.

"Should we chase after him?" Shu asked.

Yan shook his head. He couldn't fight that monster and neither do Shu. It was better to leave them for the Mountain Kingdom's army to settle by themselves. He hoped that they would be able to contend. If something happened to Jun Hua…. He couldn't imagine what Soujin would do to them.

Ye Jiu's army quickly caught up with Jun Hua's army and a fierce battle commence. Jun Hua was hidden within the guard on her horse in the middle of the soldiers. However, her red dress was eye-catching in the middle of thousand men wearing battle armor.

"So, the little princess is there."

Ye Jiu lips curved up as he sped up and charged towards the Mountain Kingdom army. The one in charge of the battle is Yabei and he quickly makes his way towards Ye Jiu to stop his advance. On the side, Fan Ying also commanded his soldiers to fight against Ye Jiu's army.

The first clash made him realized that their battle power was on equal ground with the army. Inside his mind, he cursed out loud because Ye Jiu was bringing his personal army to the battle here.

As the two armies clash, both of their commanders directed the battle and formation, Jun Hua from behind and Ye Jiu from the frontline. Seeing how Ye Jiu could still spare some time to look at the surrounding made Yabei knew that the other party hadn't gone serious with him.

His expression turned grim. If this went on, the one that could contend against him would only be Jun Hua and Soujin alone. He felt rather embarrassed that he couldn't fight on equal grounds with Ye Jiu, despite him being one of the elites in Jun Hua's army.

"You're weak," after some time, Ye Jiu said in low voice before dealing a heavy blow towards Yabei who got pushed away and wounded badly.

Coughing a mouthful of blood, Yabei stared intensely as Ye Jiu proceeded to go near Jun Hua. Despite the heavy wound he had, his lips curled up into a slight smile.

Ye Jiu's eyes fixed on the little princess who was being protected in the circle of elite soldiers. The girl looked back with calm expression before taking something from behind her. Before he could process what happened, he could see an arrow going straight to him.

Raising his sword, he tried to parry it only to find the arrow was heavy and the arrow pierced straight to his chest.
