The journey back is quick with Soujin's lead. He was familiar with this area thus making their journey shorter and quicker. When they arrived at the border, Jun Min found his soldiers and goes over there to arrange them. Among them, Yasha and Yamin are there.
”Young Master, we have arranged the soldiers here,” Yasha reported. When they reach the capital of Mountain Kingdom, Jun Min sends them away to here. He doesn't want them to get involved with the matter in that kingdom.
Jun Min nodded. ”Do they have enough rest?”
The journey as a whole army and journey alone is different, that's why Jun Min asks that question. He barely got any sleep, but his soldier should have enough time to rest because they arrived earlier than him.
”Yes.”
”We are going to march again. The Kai Kingdom is taking us into their territory,” Jun Min said calmly. He has heard some of the battle report from Soujin during their journey here and he could fill in the rest after staying here for some time.
”Yes General!”
After arranging the soldiers, Jun Min returned back to have some rest before departing.

Capital of Ming Kingdom
”You have become really famous, old man,” Yan said sarcastically. He has finally returned back to the capital with Nanglong Souka tagging along. The old man is just laughing and waved it off because the whole matter is not because of him, rather it's because of another extraordinary person.
Nanglong Souka got down from the carriage as Yan continue his journey towards the Kai Kingdom. Yan had no intention on staying inside his residence just because he's being grounded by his father. He still has some matter he needs to attend to.
The old man walks towards the palace and got admitted as soon as he arrives there. The entire officials are all giving him friendly smile for what he had done.
”Nanglong Souka, well done,” the emperor said upon seeing that in this morning court, Nanglong Souka attended.
He nodded. ”Thank you Your Highness, this subject dares not take all the credit.”
”How's the reaction from Yuan Kingdom?” one of the officials asks. They hadn't heard about the detail because the ways to send messages are limited. The only news that they know is that the Yuan Kingdom has pulled back their armies and they wouldn't attack the Ming Kingdom anymore. If they want the details, they need Nanglong Souka to explain.
”The emperor of Yuan Kingdom is wise and he pulled back the army after some negotiation. He accepts the goodwill of Ming Kingdom and willingly pulls back his army,” Nanglong Souka vaguely narrated the conversation.
The emperor is truly happy because of this progress. He turned towards the messenger who comes.
”What is it?”
”Reporting to Your Highness, General Soujin has been found safe and sound. He has returned back to the northeast border.”
