86 Trouble Brewing (1/2)
Capital of Ming Kingdom
”What did you say? The Mountain Kingdom retreated back?” the officials found this news to be ridiculous. This is only the third or fourth day of the war in Southeast area. Why would they retreat back?
”From the messenger, the Great General Tou is fighting equally with General Jun Min thus leading the soldiers from Ming Kingdom side gain advantages. General Tou suddenly said that they are forfeiting thus the victory goes to our side!”
The officials are all rejoicing. This piece of news is truly great for them. They have been waiting for such news and now only 3 kingdoms they need to face.
Only the emperor face is a bit complicated. He's happy that the kingdom is safe, but he's not happy because the one who pulls the opponent back is Jun Min. Given how famous that boy is, there's no way he could feels happy about him getting another achievement. Besides, what is being equal in fighting prowess with General Tou means? It means, the number of people who could match with her can be counted with finger.
”How is Young General Jun condition?” Ming Kui asks.
”He's badly wounded and General Jun Qing won't allow anyone to see him. From the news, it seems that the battle with General Tou had taken a huge toll on him.”
”Then, let him rest. We cannot have such an excellent general like him to fall so easily,” the emperor said amicably.
With his tone, many people would think that this emperor is truly caring about the Jun family. As for those who know the truth, they know that the emperor is happy for Jun Min getting a heavy wound. It means that the boy won't be getting achievements anymore in the future. But with what he had done, they know that the name of Jun Min would continue to resound loudly.
Ming Hui got the news from his servants that Jun Min is wounded badly.
”That boy is really reckless. But really, what he did is surprising,” Ming Hui said. ”At least, one victory is secured and maybe he will have some time later to help Soujin. The enemy he will face is not the one like Mountain Kingdom that's already in period of declining.”
”You're correct.”
Ming Hui stared at the person before him. ”Are you sure you want to follow us? Once you decide so, you won't be able to back down or we will chase after you first.”
”I may be untalented, but I won't let this chance slip away from me.”
”Good, then you will be my eyes and ears on the court.”
”Thanks fifth brother.”
…
Jun Qing stared at the person before him with headache. Just what does this person doing here? Does his head starting to ache from the time he lost against Jun Min?
The person before Jun Qing is General Tou. He had been walking with white flag* towards their soldiers from the morning. Although they still look at him with suspicious glare, they allow him to meet with Jun Qing. Jun Qing himself feels that he's going to get even more trouble from the general before him.
”What is it, General Tou? Don't you know that this is Ming Kingdom territory?” Jun Qing asks seriously.
