Chapter 321 - The Fight Is Not Over
With Ye Jiu being wounded heavily, Jun Hua's advance was unstoppable. None of the soldiers dared to stop her as they would just charge towards their death by fighting against her. The next few days fight were all on the Ming Kingdom's favor and Ye Jiu was pushed back deeper and deeper towards the Pan Kingdom territory.
The soldiers' morale on Jun Hua's side was extremely high. They were happy to see their leader led them at the front, and they hoped that she could always bring them the victories.
On the other hand, Yabei and Yamin felt worried about their princess. Because they knew about her condition, they also knew that she was not allowed to fight for long. So far, her condition hasn't been bad, and she could easily hide them, but if this continued, she wouldn't hold on. Inside their heart, they silently hoped that the fight would end soon.
"What a cunning princess," Ye Jiu was lying on his bed with sweats pouring down. The wound he sustained was deep and it would require a lot of time to heal. Besides, he didn't have any countermeasure against the fight where they were put on the blatant disadvantages.
With her fighting on the frontline, the number of elite soldiers he has was reduced until mere hundreds in number. Besides, without him dictating the battle with Yan and the rest of Soujin's soldiers, they were on the losing streak in the other battleground.
"Your Highness, you can't get up with that wound."
Ye Jiu sneered, "This is nothing… Tell me about that Princess."
"Her name is Jun Hua. She was the legitimate daughter of the Lin family if not because of an incident which makes her an outsider…."
As the soldier was reading the report about Jun Hua, Ye Jiu was thinking hard. However, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked towards the soldier.
"You said that her name is Jun Hua, does her surname is Jun?"
"Yes."
"Then, does the Hua* represent flower?"
"Yes," the soldier answered despite didn't understand why he asked this question.
Hearing the soldier's answer, Ye Jiu lips curled up. He finally found another flower, and now the only task left was taking her away.
"Withdraw our soldiers. Send a message to my father that I lost the fight and he needed to think how to counter them by himself," Ye Jiu instructed.
"Your Highness? If you do that, does it mean that you're giving up Pan Kingdom?"
Ye Jiu's gaze sharpened and the soldiers scurried away to do his job. Lying on the bed again, Ye Jiu stared at the ceiling and a sharp glint can be seen on his handsome face. The Pan Kingdom matter was no longer something important to him anymore.
"There will come a day when you will be mine," his lips curved up into a devilish smile as a cunning glint appeared on his face. The battle was not over yet.
…
Jun Hua's side
After the first battle, all of her soldiers already guessed that she was Jun Min. Many of them secretly discussed it. None of them felt angry and instead, they admired her for being an awesome general. Although Jun Hua didn't tell them the truth right away, there was no way they wouldn't know from the way she was fighting. Besides, her skill with the bow was the same with her 'brother'.
After several days fighting, Jun Hua already more or less finished with her venting. She has already calmed down, despite her fighting efficiency still insanely high and the enemies soldiers number that she killed soared to the sky.
"Miss, your body might not hold on if you continue to stay within the zone," Yamin reminded her Miss.
Jun Hua nodded her head. Although the zone could be entered by normal people in limited time, in her case she entered it for a long period of time with her will. When she was in the zone, she was stretching her physical ability to the limit and it might endanger her life should she do it for a long period of time. Because of that, she had to make sure that she didn't enter the zone too frequent.
In addition, her body was still in the state of recovering. Although she didn't feel the tiredness due to the adrenaline being pumped high and her emotional state was in a constant rage, she started to feel them after calming her mind.
"The fight is not over yet," Jun Hua sighed. She knew very well that her body couldn't endure the pressure that long, but she had to do it in order to fight more. After this, she was sure that her grandfather was going to give her a long lecture. More importantly, she needed to rest for a long time.
Even though she still could do activities as normal, she knew her body better. If she tried to do more martial arts, her organs would suffer more blows. If it continued, she might endanger her life. There was no medicine for this. All she could relied was time and her own capabilities in recovery.
Of course, she would not try to push herself more than this. If her condition threatened her life, she would not be able to reason her way out with her grandfather and uncle anymore. They wouldn't want to accept the fact that she did something so reckless. Besides, she didn't want to die yet. She still wanted to live longer with those whom she loved from the bottom of her heart.
Jun Hua sighed. It was not that important anymore. She just hoped that she could finish the battle as fast as possible. Without Ye Jiu, she had been chipping their number slowly. However, the fight was not going to end soon. That was if this fight continued the normal way.
"General Hua," a soldier ran to her side, "Prince Ye Jiu declares his lost and he retracts the soldiers back."
"What?" Jun Hua and Yamin immediately ran towards the edge of the hill and looked towards the soldiers on Pan Kingdom side. As the soldier said, they were retreating back.
"Miss, you've won the fight," Yamin said excitedly.
Jun Hua didn't answer as she stared at the soldier with a frown. There was something fishy here, but she didn't know what. Hopefully, it was not something bad.
"Let's regroup with the main force."
"Yes!"
