90 Capital of Mountain Kingdom 2 (1/2)
A couple of minutes before…
”They surely have strengthened the guard here,” General Hen said solemnly.
Jun Min nodded. Since he's not someone from this place, he cannot comment about it. The guards have surely made it difficult for him to pass. But with his face and small stature, they decide to allow her inside.
”Your small stature is truly a big help.”
Hearing General Hen remark, Jun Min feels his face darken. It's not like he wants to have a small stature, but because he's in fact a girl, there is no way she could have that big of the stature. Not to mention that her mother is not that tall and her father… forget about him. Jun Min scanned the surrounding.
”They seem very peaceful.”
”The officials must have guarded the information they leak out. They cannot possibly let the whole world know about what had happened. The other kingdom might take advantage if the word goes out,” General Hen explained.
Jun Min had guessed so. ”Do you have any idea where the princess might be?”
”The number of people she trusts is limited. I'm among one of them, but given that I'm sent out for war, I shouldn't have returned. The other person she trusted is Prime Minister Rei, but according to the information, he had switched sides.”
”Where is his residence?”
”Over here.”
Jun Min had learned a lot about this place from what General Hen told her. She knows that the capital is quite big with many people going here and there. The numbers of the officials are also quite a lot and she knows that most of them had changed side. The princess is the legal successor and only if she died or giving the thrones can they hope to be the emperor.
The journey towards the Prime Minister Rei is smooth and all. Jun Min noticed the servants seem less than what a big residence should have. Extending her senses, she could feel that the atmosphere suddenly turned dangerous.
”What is it?”
”It's like there is some changes in the atmosphere. Should we break in?” Jun Min said.
General Hen nodded and hurriedly destroys the gate with his hammer. Jun Min followed suit and then he heard the general beside her gasp.
”She's here!”
”You take her and I will distract the other,” Jun Min said as he took out his sword. The guards who come to her are slashed in a matter of second. After finishing with them, he turned to look at General Hen who had carried Princess Kuina away.
Jun Min goes inside the room to clean up the last one, the prime minister. With the tiny strength the official had, he is clearly not the match for Jun Min. After that, he quickly followed after General Hen to the alley.
”Did they follow after you?” General Hen asks.
Jun Min shakes his head. Those people martial arts are too low to chase after him. Given his speed, it doesn't require him much energy to shake them off from his tail.
