Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

191 Concealed Movemen

Inside Mountain Kingdom

Jun Hua sighed as she kept her sword back. Xia was standing behind her with another sword on her hand. Xia got the feeling that she has gotten into more fight just by staying by Jun Hua side. From coming to the Mountain Kingdom, they had stopped a few times just to fight.

"The Pan Kingdom is truly restless," Jun Hua murmured as she cleaned up the stain of blood.

"Miss, let me do it."

Jun Hua returned to the carriages and looked towards the map. They have come near the capital. It seemed they would need to strengthen the defenses. People from the Pan Kingdom were coming tirelessly here.

Ever since their plot failed, they wanted to take some revenge and purposely sent people here. They have heard about Princess Kuina getting married, but the name of the groom was not spread out. Because of that, the numbers of the spies coming to Mountain Kingdom have increased by a lot.

For Jun Hua, their skills were poor and she could easily identify them, but for ordinary people, they were great in concealing their background and sneaking in. There were so many ways for them to get inside, so the number of the rats here was truly astounding.

"Xia, you tell Yasha to have the ninth squad to sweep the place today."

"Yes Miss."

Xia slipped away as the carriage continues its way towards the capital. Jun Hua picked up her book she had just read before fighting and continues it with leisure.

Upon reaching a small village near the capital, she had the carriage stopped and came down. She had purposely worn a face mask to show a completely different face than the usual her. The clothes are still that of a lady, but her face has toned down.

Walking down the street, she came to realize that the people are highly excited about the marriage of Princess Kuina. When Jun Qing sent the betrothal gifts, many people were trying to inquire which family was he, but they didn't succeed. The numbers of the gifts sent were enormous, to the point that the people were saying that the man had been enraptured by the headstrong princess.

Jun Hua laughed at that remark, though she partially agrees about that. That uncle of hers would surely completely within the grasps of that princess. But, she didn't mind it, as long as the two of them love and support each other, she wouldn't intervene.

Walking down the streets, Jun Hua found the one she had been looking for: a hiding place where several people were talking stealthily.

"Why are you all so adamant on trying to figure out his identity?" with that question asked first, Jun Hua had begun her time of sweeping them off.

Finishing, she stopped on her tracks. "Why are you hiding? Don't you want to meet with me?"

From within the darkness, a man comes out. He looked towards Jun Hua in astonishment. "Who are you? Why are you helping them?"

Jun Hua looked at him for a moment. She didn't recognize him, but she notices the emblem he had on his clothes. That group of assassins again?

"You don't have to know."

Jun Hua moved to the man with an inconceivable speed. The man was astonished, but he's not becoming an assassin for nothing. He barely dodged the attack, but before he got the chance to counter attack, a sword already went for his heart.

"Oh, you still saw that?" Jun Hua looked towards the man. "So, you're a first-class assassin in that organization?"

The man pupil shrunk at Jun Hua question. How could she know about their organization? Shouldn't their organization be a secret and almost no one knew about it? Just who the little girl before him is?

Jun Hua mulled for a moment. "No, even a first-class won't be this good. You're a golden class? What a surprise. Mind if you tell me who sent you?"

The question from Jun Hua made his heart shrunk. The little girl surprisingly had noticed his true rank within the organization, yet she still continues the attack? Don't she afraid of the retaliation they will seek in the future?

Finished interrogating, Jun Hua cleaned up and walked from the alley. It seemed they have been restless to send someone so powerful here. Too bad, they still cannot contend against her, but it makes the situation turn grave.

"Hmm… the gold rank is the highest among the assassins," Jun Hua shakes her head lightly. "It seemed I need to be more cautious in the future."

Returning to the carriage, she took out her map and makes another note. The number of enemies they had has just increased even more. It seemed she would need to play her cards again.

…

Mountain Kingdom Palace

"Kuina, your future niece had come," Jun Qing informed the busy princess.

Kuina stood up and hurriedly comes out. Together with Jun Qing they come towards the hall where a girl already stands there.

Jun Hua smiled. "It seems I'm not late."

"If you were late I would beat you up," Jun Qing threatened.

"Oh, you think you can beat me?" Jun Hua smiled cheekily.

"You lass!" Jun Qing chided.

Kuina pulled Jun Hua arm with a bright smile, "It has been a long time since the last time we talk. Let's go to my room and talk more."

Jun Qing watched helplessly as his future wife dragged his niece away. He also wanted to talk with Jun Hua, but it seemed he would need to be patient.

Inside the room, Kuina told Jun Hua many interesting things that happen in Mountain Kingdom. She even dragged the little girl to listen until it's late at night and she fell asleep. Jun Hua tucked the blanket for Kuina feeling slightly amused. No wonder her uncle seemed to have trouble staying in the same room with this girl. She can sleep easily in front of people she trusted.

After Jun Hua finished, she instructed the servant to keep their eyes close to the empress before going out from the room without making any noise. With a light step, she quickly met with her uncle.

Jun Qing sighed when he saw Jun Hua. Kuina had dragged the little girl for hours. "Sorry about that, she was too excited about it."

"It's fine. Uncle, I need you to reform the guards on Mountain Kingdom upon ascending. The number of spies that I encountered cannot be counted in one hand anymore," Jun Hua said solemnly, reporting what she had found during her journey.

They were going to stay in this kingdom for a long time. Such a thing is truly unacceptable. They can tolerate a small number of spies, but vast number of them was not within their range of tolerance.

"Don't worry, I would surely do that."

Jun Hua looked towards her uncle. "By the way, did you truly send enormous amount of betrothal gifts? The people are all talking about that."

"Yeah, I did…"

"I see… I hope you two can always stay like this."

"Thank you."

"But please don't pamper her too much until you forget about your work."

"…" do you think I'm that unreliable?

Seeing her uncle expression, Jun Hua smirked, "Uncle is only good at martial art and war, for the others you're a complete idiot."

"… Come over here you little brat!" that is exactly my thoughts regarding you!

"You can't catch me," Jun Hua already slipped away before Jun Qing can reach her. He shook his head lightly as he watched the little girl go outside his grasps in a matter of seconds. The little brat has grown even more mischievous. Unfortunately, so was her ability, so he can only give up the notion of spanking her.
