Chapter 351 - Fiancée
When Soujin returned, he was greeted with the scene of two people arguing with several people waiting for the two on the side.
"Has the interrogation finished?" Jun Hua asked.
Soujin nodded his head, "There is nothing much here. Let's go to Pan City."
Ming Hui pointed his finger towards his older brother with exasperation, "You will have to separate the two of them first before going to Pan City."
"Yan, if you're itching for a fight that much, how about if I accompany you?" Soujin said calmly.
Even in the midst of quarreling, Yan could hear the sound of Soujin rather clearly. His body shivered in fear because he knew that Soujin patience has run out this time. He quickly shut his mouth for good before he ended up lying on the carriage for the rest of their journey.
Jun Zhenxian was about to provoke Yan again, but he noticed the serious gaze Soujin had. The old man immediately toned down and returned to the carriage without making any ruckus.
"Why does it seem like the relationship between a master and servant?" Fan Lanying laughed.
Ming Hui coughed a little, "It would be inappropriate for Yan."
"If he's not this playful, there won't be any scene."
"It's better if he is this playful or the journey would be too boring."
Fan Lanying pondered about it as she climbed the carriage. Ming Hui's statement was rather true. Without the antics of these two peculiar men, there was no way their journey could be this eventful with the two of them continuously making ruckus here and there.
For the rest of the journey, the two of them didn't clash as much as before, but they still did occasionally. After seeing them arguing again and again, the others finally turned blind eyes to them and didn't bother separating them anymore. As long as they didn't go overboard, there was no use wasting energy to calm them down.
"The city already within the sight," Jun Hua peered outside the window.
Soujin nodded his head, "Do you have anything you want to do before we go to the palace?"
Jun Hua shook her head. She had already explored this place before when they are on the war against the emperor of Pan Kingdom.
"I just want to have some rest," Jun Hua answered.
Soujin looked towards Jun Hua's face with inquiring eyes. The last time Jun Hua said that she was going to rest, it was because she was not in good condition. Was she truly not feeling well?
Jun Hua noticed the man eyes and shook her head, "I'm just too lazy to move today."
Soujin shrugged and accepted the lady reasoning.
"The city is quite big," Fan Lanying said in admiration. Because of the war, she hadn't got the chance to stroll in the city. She was busy to fight here and there. Today was the first time she came not as the commander, but as a lady.
"Pan City is indeed big and the citizen already got used with our appearance," Ming Hui nodded his head. Although in certain areas there were people complaining, most of them already accepted the change and supported Yan as the new emperor. Besides, he did change many things to be better.
The citizen already knew that the previous crown prince was incredibly useless, and their impression of him was even worse compared with Yan when the latter was still a prince. Due to the fact that Yan was Young Noble Han, the people here instead feel better with him leading them. Some of the nobles still indignant and get sacked up by Yan, but the rest of them willingly join him.
"You can go around first, we need to go to the palace to hear the report first," Jun Hua said to Fan Lanying when their carriage passed over each other. Jun Hua knew that Fan Lanying must be eager to walk around with the girl's nature.
Fan Lanying nodded her head. Although she already knew that Jun Hua was Jun Min, she still treated the other party as the innocent girl she met in the academy.
"Let's meet up later."
"Sure, don't get lost on the way."
Ming Hui and Fan Lanying strolled on the city while Jun Hua went to the palace with the others. Although she was already married, because of her face extraordinary feature, she still wore a veil almost every time. Of course, it was also due to Soujin's insistence. For some reason, this man wanted her to wear them continuously.
Hearing the report from the minister, Yan understood that the situation in this city was rather good. There were no major issues he needed to take care as the people whom they kept here could do the work and they didn't have many complaints to him.
Kicking them out, the rest of the people inside the hall were only Yan, Jun Hua, Soujin, and Jun Zhenxian, with their bodyguards.
"Shu, the report about Ye Jiu has finished, right?" Yan called.
Shu nodded his head. He was holding a paper in his hand, the result of the investigation, but his face looked rather weird. Because he was trained as an assassin, his change in the facial feature was not evident, but the four of them noticed it because of their martial arts.
"Is there anything weird about this prince?"
"Prince Ye Jiu is an excellent prince who had mastered poetry, painting, and many other arts ever since a young age. He is known as the scholarly prince, but he still able to do martial arts rather well. When he's 15, the emperor sends him to the northwest border to deal with the trouble against the mysterious tribe there.
The fight was rather successful and the prince is engaged with the local princess there. However, five years ago, she died because of mysterious cause and since then, Prince Ye Jiu returned to the capital for several months. During the time he returned, he can guess the future correctly, which grant him the nickname of the future dreamer."
The report they got before was similar, but this one was far more detailed. Aside from the rough life he had, Shu also reported his family and other siblings. Even some of the smallest relation can be found from the report.
"His mother died since young while his father is rather strict. He was trained since young age to fulfill his father demand…."
Yan yawned at the report while Soujin and the other two listened attentively. Truthfully, Yan genuinely didn't understand the reason they need to know every detail about Ye Jiu. He didn't know, they almost did this for every important or threatening person they found. Of course, he usually got left out because he didn't think of them as something important.
"Shu," Soujin cut him, "Ye Jiu fiancée, what is her name?"
At that question, Shu face turned strange as he answered with hesitation, "Jun Hua."
In front of him, Jun Hua almost choked on the air at the answer.
