97 Does man also learn needlework? (1/2)
Soujin is indeed a capable general. Despite his body is riddled with wounds he can climb on the narrow path to the top on swift movement. It doesn't take him a long time to reach their destination, the cliff.
”Put me down,” Jun Min urged. Soujin is surprised because he feels that the person on his back is really light. He almost forgot about her existence if not for her reminder.
Soujin turned his head back. He carefully put Jun Min on the ground as the little kid sits down. She still doesn't have the energy to walk.
”Can you walk?”
”A bit,” Jun Min said awkwardly. She truly cannot pass off as a guy if this keeps on, they would surely think of her as a weakling. If the soldiers who had seen her fight know her thoughts like this, they would definitely have the urge to beat her up to vent their grievances from getting their body beaten black and blue by her.
Soujin put her down and dashed off to the trees nearby before returning back with some fruits. He handed some of them to Jun Min who accepted it gladly.
”After you have recovered enough energy, we will go to the east border.”
Jun Min nodded. Eating the fruit has indeed helped her a lot. It doesn't require her much time to recover some of her strength and they can walk towards the border. Besides, walking on a flat ground is easier than climbing steep wall.
Soujin stopped for a while. He whistles and a horse comes to their sight before being followed by another horse. They are horse that the two of them used before. It seems like they were waiting in some near areas when their master fell off the cliff previously.
”Can you ride the horse?”
”I can,” Jun Min feels that she's continue being insulted by Soujin during their journey back. It's not like she's that weak to the point she cannot walk at all, she still has some energy from eating and sleeping a few hours.
Soujin nodded. ”How's the situation on the Mountain Kingdom border?”
”Its fine,” Jun Min answered. The Mountain Kingdom won't attack them anymore is more correct. As long as the Jun family is still guarding the border, they won't have any intention of attacking anymore since its Jun Min who had helped them through their crisis. But this is a secret that she cannot divulge, not even towards Soujin.
”The Kai Kingdom is more obstinate. You will find out soon enough that they're stronger than the Mountain Kingdom.”
”I'm sure about that,” Jun Min smiled.
After riding the horse for some time, they reached the border. Soujin soldiers are there and they're looking highly worried about Soujin. Seeing their general is alive and kicking, they sighed in relief.
”Call doctor, do you need one, Jun Min?”
Jun Min shakes her head. If the doctor here checks her, they would surely find out about her gender. Besides, she's not hurt at all, only tired from exhausting her energy over and over again.
”Then, you have some rests first.”
”Wake me up when it's time to leave.”
