Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

When the three people outsides, including Shu who didn't manage to get in, heard Ming Hui laughed, they were dumbfounded. However, none of them have the courage to interrupt the two of them, so they dispersed, each with their own thought.

Ming Hui had been thinking that Jun Hua was telling the issue to Soujin completely. However, she actually chose such a unique way of telling the secret to Soujin. After a couple of seconds, he restrained his laugh as he looked towards Soujin.

"I never know that her name is Jun Hua Min," Ming Hui remarked.

Soujin also didn't know about that. However, by telling him her real name, he knew that Jun Min was actually her. She just hid her first name while using her surname and part of her given name. The matter was actually very simple, yet none of them realized it.

Pushing the matter to the back of his head, Soujin recalled the more important matters on hand.

"How long have I slept?" Soujin asked.

"Three days," Ming Hui answered.

Soujin nodded, "Give me the rough situation of the battlefield condition in this area."

"Sure."

Soujin listened to Ming Hui's explanation for some time before pointing out a few points and made a rough strategy for Yan's battle tomorrow. Ming Hui passed the messages out before brewing some medicine for Soujin.

"When can I return to the battlefield?" Soujin asked.

"If you feel that you're good enough, you can go the day after tomorrow," Ming Hui pushed the bowl forward, "But, you're not allowed to force yourself."

"I know," Soujin didn't feel much at edge anymore. Although he was still worried about Jun Hua's condition, he knew that she was very skilled. In fact, she could be above him if she were to use that weird technique, though only for a short period of time.

"Rest well for tonight," Ming Hui said before walking out from the tent.

Soujin stared at the letter once again as he sighed. How come he didn't realize it sooner? It was pretty obvious that the two of them have a similar build and whenever one came near him, the other would be at a far place. He was sure that Jun Hua put her body-double to stay away from him because he would be able to recognize her if she has switched.

Probably, he knew about it, but he refused to acknowledge it and pushed the matter into the back of his head unconsciously.

Knowing about her real identity also made him realized why she told him that she did not have the right to say the same to him. While he gave her the truth, she was still hiding the fact that she and Jun Min were the same. However, he also knew that she planned on abandoning that identity forever, so he would not blame her.

Having her told him about it now was already enough.

The next day, Yan could overwhelm the Pan Kingdom soldiers with ease due to Soujin's plan. However, the fight only lasted halfway because they heard the news that Ye Jiu admitted his defeat to Jun Hua and retreated.

"We won against Ye Jiu?" Ming Hui asked with disbelief. The fight these past few months was full of up and down, especially against Ye Jiu. Now that the other party declared that they have won, the news sounded unbelievable.

"Ye Jiu defeat doesn't mean the war is over," Soujin's remark made Ming Hui clear headed again. He understood that conquering the kingdom still needed more steps as they need to completely subdue the entire kingdom, which might take months or even years. More importantly, the capital hasn't fallen yet.

"You're right. What is the next plan?"

"Strengthen the soldiers and treat the wound as we wait for Jun Hua to return."

"I understand," Ming Hui nodded his head as he relayed the message.

The rest of that day, Soujin stayed on his bed and let Ming Hui gave him a lot of medicine. The next day, he felt much better, but before he could leave the bed, the sound of soldiers clattering around could be heard.

"Jun Hua has returned," Ming Hui smiled.

Soujin nodded. He chose not to move from the bed as he waited for Jun Hua to come. On the side, Yan was sitting carefully. Although Soujin hadn't told him that Jun Hua was Jun Min, he knew that Jun Hua was someone important. While he wondered about whether he should go or not, Jun Hua already came to the tent.

The first thing Jun Hua did after return to the headquarters was obviously asking about Soujin.

"Lou, has Soujin woken up?"

"Yes, Master is in his tent."

Jun Hua smiled as the response and walked to the tent. Due to the fight the day before, there were still some traces of blood on her armor, which enhance her presence even more. Although she was feeling impatient, she still controlled her movement until she arrived in the tent.

Her eyes moved to the bed where Soujin sat on the edge. Her smile blossomed, which made the people inside the tent stunned speechless. Because she no longer wore her veil, her beauty was too blinding for them. Stomping on the ground she quickened her pace as she moved to Soujin side.

"Soujin, are you alright…?"

The moment she reached Soujin's side, the latter flicked his finger to her forehead. His action stunned Jun Hua who didn't react on time, but she quickly covered her forehead with her hand as she stared at Soujin.

"That's for hiding your real identity to me," Soujin reached out his hand and pulled the stunned Jun Hua to his embrace, "And this is for fighting in my stead for me."

Jun Hua's face reddened as she started hitting Soujin chest lightly, "Who said that I did it for you? Let me go!"

Because she was careful not to hit too hard due to Soujin's wound, there was no way she could overpower Soujin. In the end, she could only resign while Soujin held her in his arm.

"I guess, we should just leave," Yan coughed up as he stood up. With Soujin's glare directed at him from behind, he and Ming Hui immediately sprinted out from the tent.

"Don't forget that the war hadn't ended yet," that was Ming Hui last word before he left the tent in hurry.

Soujin ignored the two of them. He looked towards Jun Hua on his arm as he smiled mischievously. "Now that the two of them have leave, shall we continue further?"

With a reddened face, Jun Hua raised her arm and hit the person in front of her.

SLAP

"Don't be shameless, General Soujin."
