109 It’s Worth i
"You're saying that Jun Min got hurt because he's trying to hold down the arrow?" Soujin looks towards the soldiers who told him with complicated feeling. He has just feeling happy about the fight, but this news had brought him a great displeasure. That Kai Kingdom would actually use such underhanded method.
Another feeling he had is worry. He's worried about Jun Min's wounds especially because the other party got wounded because of him. He doesn't want his best friend to lose his life just from protecting him.
With that in minds, he walks with large strides towards Jun Min tent only to be stopped by his best friend two guards, Yamin and Yasha.
"You're not allowed to get inside."
"I want to know Jun Min condition."
"He's fine. The doctor is curing him and you're not allowed to distract him."
No matter what he did, the two loyal guards won't let Soujin stepped inside. Soujin also cannot forcibly force his way in because he's worried that he might get in the way of the treatment for the other party. Because of that, he's forced to wait outside.
"General, you need to rest first," Soujin bodyguard, Lou, is telling his Master to rest. Lou would not appear on Soujin side often, but he's a guard that has been watching over Soujin and protects him from the shadow. There are times when his enemies send some people to get Soujin and Lou would be the one to handle them.
He only appears right now because he and the other guard are worrying about their master. Soujin body is riddled with wounds from the fight with General Wei and he needs treatment fast.
Soujin glared coldly and Lou quickly disappears.
"Jun Min, are you alright?"
Jun Min only wounded his left shoulder and it's not really that bad, it will only limit his movement for the next few days. The doctor whom he brought along with the army is currently cleaning his wounds, making him keep on gritting his teeth to bear with the pain.
Hearing Soujin question, Jun Min took a deep breath. "I'm going to be alright. You just go and rest first."
Despite Jun Min voice sound weak, Soujin is relieved to hear the other party can still talk. At least, it means he's still conscious and not really wounded heavily. Only after hearing the sound of Jun Min did he returned back to his camps and treats his wound. The guards who are watching in the dark clasped their hands towards Jun Min in secret. They're thankful for him to ease the Soujin's worry.
Jun Min looks towards the doctor and said with a weak voice.
"Is it done yet?"
"Bear with it a bit, this time the wounds is quite deep. It might leave some mark on your back," the doctor said with a tinge of regret. Because he's one of the personal doctors of Jun family, he knows that Jun Min is a girl. Before this, Jun Qing would make sure that no wounds are too deep to leave a scar and he would prepare all kinds of medicine to erase the mark. But with the wound this time is this big, the doctor knows that it will be pointless.
'Such a beautiful lady yet she has scars on her body, what a pity.'
"I know," Jun Min had thought about this possibility from the starts. When he got wounded by the sword from his recklessness, he knows that the wound is deep with the possibility of leaving scars. But, he doesn't regret it.
"I will try to make the good medicine, so it won't leave any scars."
"Thank you."
After Jun Min finished with the wound, he called Soujin who unexpectedly willingly to come so quickly. It didn't take even a minute for the man to appear, fully bandaged in his arm and several other body parts. The man is looking towards the also bandaged Jun Min with creased brow.
"You shouldn't have blocked that arrow."
"Its fine, an arrow for a life is worth it," Jun Min answered.
Soujin feels that line is familiar. He soon remembers when Jun Min is taking an arrow to protect that Lin kid. Who would have thought something similar would happen to him? He smiled in return.
"Thank you then."
"In return, why don't you rally the soldiers tomorrow? With this wound, I would only participate in the sidelines, but it doesn't mean that this wound cannot rally the soldiers, right?"
Seeing the crafty smile on Jun Min, Soujin nodded in agreement. Since he has been wounded, it's better to use this chance to the fullest. With their general is wounded, the soldiers would be adamant to take revenge. Especially since this wound is from a covert attack.
"Leave it to me."

The Kai Kingdom Side
"The sixth prince is killed?" General Wei had not expected to lose another prince from this alliance war.
The soldier nodded and reported everything very clearly. General Wei eyes flashed with interest when he heard about that wounded general. Despite being wounded, he's still able to hold the bow and attack the other party amidst the darkness.
"That formidable general, what is his name?"
"Reporting to general, his name is Jun Min."
"Jun Min… Soujin…" General Wei muttered these two names. He would never expect that there will come the times when two exceedingly formidable young general would appear at the same time from Ming Kingdom. It seems the words from Pan Kingdom are true, powerful people are starting to emerge from Ming Kingdom.
The news about Soujin indeed already resounds in the east while Jun Min more to the south, but he didn't pay much attention to any youngsters. Very little number of them could possibly match up with him, so he never asked about them and focused his attention to his peers and training.
From General Wei point of view, he doesn't really wants to get involved with politics whatsoever or whatever the plan those imperial family member had in their sleeves. What he wants is a formidable opponent to make his days on the battlefield more exciting. Now, he's waiting for the next battle impatiently.
As an old man and a veteran general, the only thing that could make him excited is formidable foes. After all, fighting in the battlefield without worthy opponent would only make the fight too easy and boring. As though he's still young, his eyes gleamed with fervor.
"Call the fourth prince. He needs to discuss with us the plan for tomorrow."
"Yes general!"
