Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

238 Parting

When Jun Hua was no longer in Lan Gao Ya's field of vision, Soujin appeared before her. Jun Hua smiled at the man, "Let's go back. Have you waited for long?"

"Not at all," Soujin answered and gently lifted her up to the horse again.

Jun Hua let Soujin help her as she said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing," this was the least he could do to help her since he didn't manage to arrive in time to avoid her getting wounded.

Before long the two of them had returned to Yuan Kingdom, and Jun Zhenxian forced Jun Hua to rest while Soujin went towards the other two prince's place.

Soujin asked Lou when he arrived in the room, "Have you found out what happened at the west border?"

"The Lan family suffered heavy losses with Lan Pan fled from the battlefield to the Yuan Kingdom. Prince Ming Gong returned to the capital while General Lan Ping is captured."

Soujin didn't find the news surprising since he had just fought with Lan Pan here, "Their leader?"

"Lan Gao Ya."

The two other in the room opened their mouths wide. That harmless looking girl was the one that brought Lan family into destruction? The barely adult girl in their mind was indeed a bit scheming and crafty, but they didn't know that she would be so ruthless and decisive.

To instigate the battle towards her own family, how much hate she has to be able to do that? Even they didn't have the intention to kill the emperor, despite their immense hate since he was their father. Of course, if Soujin wanted to kill him, they wouldn't bother to stop him.

Soujin nodded, not feeling surprised. "The information agency is in her hand."

Information agency? Yan suddenly remembered his mother who was sent to the cold palace after meeting with a member of Lan family. It should be them who sent those people to his mother.

"Soujin, do you know anything about that information agency?" Yan hurriedly asked.

"It was the secret force of Lan family that once threatened the position of the emperor," Soujin said calmly. His eyes glinted with coldness. "To avoid the information got out, he chose to label the Lan family as traitor. Of course, only the older brother, which was why Lan Teng could be free and even become someone the emperor trust."

Now that he thought about it, Jun Hua must have known that Lan Gao Ya was the leader in Pan Kingdom side. The Jun Family seemed to be on the rise too.

…

The next morning, Jun Zhenxian woke up early. He walked to the wall and watched as the sun rose from the east.

"General Jun Zhenxian, are your wounds already healed?" Soujin noticed this old man had woken up, so he decided to approach him.

Jun Zhenxian looked towards his hand. "It's nothing. I was a general in my young age, getting wounded all over is usual."

Soujin agreed with that. He too had fought in the battlefield for a long time, and getting wounded was really common, especially since he fought on the frontline.

"When will you return to Mountain Kingdom?"

"After that little lass healed," Jun Zhenxian answered. He didn't want to make Jun Hua journeyed with her stomach still wounded like that. Moreover, there was no urgent need for him to go back to the Mountain Kingdom.

"What about you?"

"Tomorrow," Soujin answered.

He didn't want to leave the place too, but there was news from his territory. That news made him needed to return and solved some problem. If not for that, he would prefer staying in this area for a longer time.

Jun Zhenxian nodded his head. "Have a safe journey."

Soujin acknowledged it before excused himself. He returned to the girl room and waited for Jun Hua to wake up. The little girl was surprised to see him waiting for her again.

"Don't you have some business to attend?" she asked suspiciously.

Soujin shook his head. "The reason for me coming had been answered by you. For the time being, I don't have anything to do."

"The war is not over yet. Why the general ditch his soldiers?" Jun Hua asked without restrain. Usually, she would pay attention to how she talked to him when she was being Jun Hua. However, after the 'death' of Jun Min, she chose not to anymore.

"I will return tomorrow," Soujin answered.

"I see," Jun Hua nodded. She looked towards the man beside her. Will he accompany her again today? Soujin started to talk about many things with her just like before. Jun Hua can barely remember anything, but she enjoyed it. For Soujin who rarely talked a lot, this was truly a challenge.

Soujin only stopped when it was afternoon. He still needed to make some preparation to go back the next day since there was something happened in the territory. Because of Jun Hua's wound, she felt rather tired and sleepy, so Soujin didn't force the girl to stay awake for long.

"You should rest," Soujin noticed that Jun Hua's complexion was not too good. It was probably due to the girl pushing herself to look better just to meet with Lan Gao Ya.

Jun Hua stay still on the bed as Soujin pulled the blanket for her. She looked back at him. "I might not be able to say farewell tomorrow, so have a safe journey, General Soujin."

Soujin nodded his head. "And you should have a good rest."

Jun Hua acknowledged it as she slowly drifted back to sleep. Soujin looked towards the girl for a while before walking out from the room silently to avoid disturbing the little lady.

Walking out from the room, Soujin met with Yan who was incredibly happy.

"Soujin, I have landed a good business. You can't believe it," he said with a laugh.

"We're going back tomorrow."

"AH? So quickly," Yan was startled. "What about that lass, don't you want to stay with her for a longer time?"

Soujin stared coldly at Yan and the other party immediately bolt away to tell Ming Hui. Retracting his gaze, he looked towards the sky, hoping that everything can end soon.
