Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

224 Meeting

Capital of Yuan Kingdom

Jun Hua strolled around the street and wandered around. She didn't have any particular place to see, but the condition of the street in Yuan Kingdom was highly interesting. The emperor seemed to be someone who loved to receive new ideas and things.

Coming to near the end of the street, she found a training hall. Compared with the training hall where she first learned martial arts, this training hall was huge. Since her appearance was that of a man, she felt that it was not wrong to try coming here.

"Excuse me," Jun Hua greeted.

A student came and looked at Jun Hua with question. "Is there anything I can help?"

"May I request a pointer here?" Jun Hua pointed towards the main hall.

The student nodded. "Let me take you there."

"Is there a lot of people coming every time?"

"Yes, many people are interested in the martial arts of this kingdom. Our prince is benevolent and let us teaches it to outsider."

Walking inside, Jun Hua can see the number of people practicing was plenty. Each of them was busied training alone or with a partner. Their way of training was interesting, and some of them even birthed new ideas in her mind.

She wanted to try them all when she returned and designed a new training method.

Coming to the hall, Jun Hua felt that the world was really small. The prince she encountered on the street turned out to be here. She couldn't help but feel worry, the gaze that prince gave her was not an ordinary gaze. She felt like he has just found something interesting for him.

"Prince Tang Xuan, there is a guest."

"This humbles self greets Prince Tang Xuan," Jun Hua bowed respectfully.

Prince Tang Xuan looked towards the 'young man'. Similarly, he felt that the little boy who came here was not an ordinary one. It has been a long time since he could feel any danger from anyone. Most of them were war veteran, but this little one was a young refined scholar.

'He is truly similar with me.'

The two of them unknowingly thought the same thing. Prince Tang Xuan nodded his head and took the wooden sword from the side.

"Let's spar."

He threw one of them to Jun Hua. Jun Hua received it with ease as she nodded. She too wanted to know just how strong this prince was. The student by the side has his eyes widened, and he quickly retreated. He knew that the prince was not one to occasionally spar since he was too powerful. The number of people who could match him could be counted in one hand.

Jun Hua readied herself. She didn't use the concentration technique since it would make the other party thought of her as an assassin. Instead, she started like the way she did in the battlefield.

Moving to the side, the prince's move seemed like waiting for the strike to come, but Jun Hua noticed the danger and side stepped, barely missed the move from the prince. Her sword came down towards the prince, but he too similarly retreated.

More and more people came to watch the exchange between the two of them. They were looking highly surprised. The two of them didn't have any bulk physique and seemed more similar to that of a scholar. Yet, when they were fighting, they seemed really harmonious and dangerous.

After a long time, the fight finally ended in Jun Hua's victory. She heaved a sigh. "That was a good fight, Prince Tang Xuan."

Prince Tang Xuan nodded. It has been a long time since he felt that way. Fighting was just his hobby, but it had become deeply embedded in his bone as time passed.

"If there is a chance, let's fight again."

Jun Hua smiled. "I'm not from this kingdom, Prince Tang Xuan. I come merely because of business here."

"What kind of business?"

"Trading, I'm a merchant," Jun Hua smiled.

The students by the side secretly rolled their eyes. Since when did a merchant was highly familiar with martial arts? With your skill, you were more suitable to become a general or even an assassin. Why would you spend your time being a merchant?

Prince Tang Xuan was similarly stunned. Then, he laughed.

"You're a really interesting merchant. May I know your name?"

"You can call me Min," Jun Hua answered.

"Min is it? Do you have time to take a stroll with me? I want to have a chat," Prince Tang Xuan pointed towards the back door.

Jun Hua nodded. They walked towards the back door while the students finally got back to their training. None of them dared to interrupt these two.

The two of them began talking about martial arts. The ideas that Prince Tang Xuan has were really interesting. If she should say, the prince was highly knowledgeable with various kinds of martial arts. It made her have a lot of interest towards the martial arts of this place.

It took them hours to finish talking. And the reason they finished was because they were already hungry for skipping meal by talking.

Prince Tang Xuan sighed. "If only you come from beyond the river, we might have another chance to meet in the future."

His words made Jun Hua intrigued. Yuan Kingdom was located neared a big river, bordering the kingdom with a kingdom across the river. Jun Hua only knew that beyond the river was another big civilization, but they didn't have contact with each other as the river was truly wide and deep. There should be little chance for them to meet, right?

"Isn't it hard to make a contact with the people beyond the river?" Jun Hua probed.

Prince Tang Xuan laughed. "This may be considered so outside Yuan Kingdom. But in reality, we have been trading with them for a long time here. No, it's more correct to say that you're the one trading with us for a long time."

Prince Tang Xuan words made Jun Hua stopped in her tracks. She stared at the man before her with bewilderment. Why did he suddenly admit it?

"I'm sure the reason you come here is because you're curious, am I right, Jun Min?"
