104 That name is famous? (1/2)
”You said that you burned the forest down? You're the biggest idiot I have ever known!” Yan is yelling to Soujin in the latter office room. They have returned to the border and Jun Min told the man that his sister was going to return to the Jun family territory. He wouldn't want to stay with him and meet as a girl like before anymore.
Soujin ignored the angry Yan. Because Yan is a merchant, he knows very well the money his friend has just burn away. That was an enormous sum… even just thinking about it had made Yan's heart bleeds.
”Even if you're there, you won't be able to stop him,” Jun Min said. His tone is slightly annoyed.
Yan looks towards Jun Min who had bad atmosphere around him. Does something happen? What did he miss?
”Do you bring the supplies?”
”I do. There is enough food for you all. But why are you in needs for such a large amount of food? You don't plan on lengthening the war, do you?”
After returning to the capital, Yan had prepared a lot of supplies which Soujin requested him before. He only needs to bring all of them along with him on the journey to the border. Because of the additional weight, he arrived here a bit late, but it coincides with the arrival of Soujin and Jun Min to the border.
”I don't,” Soujin answered simply. ”The soldiers on the plains are going to take longer for the battle. Those supplies are for them.”
”Are you taking me to be your maid?”
Yan is feeling that he had been used by his best friend to bring him supplies. He's a prince and by right, he's the one who should be ordering this man before him. But, Yan doesn't have the will to do that. Besides, he did need to come here for other things.
”No,” Soujin answered.
”Forget it. There is another matter that you should know. Lan Ping has won big time on the battle against Pan Kingdom. He had another new general called Lan Pan, does any of you knows him?”
Soujin and Jun Min both freeze for a second the moment they heard this man. They simultaneously turn towards Yan as if saying, are you really don't know? Seeing the two of them, Yan feels that there is something important he had missed. What is it?
”Who is this Lan Pan?”
”He's Lan Ping older brother,” Soujin answered. ”He was a problematic soldier during his time on the military. He would never show any mercy and his way of killing is really violent which makes even his superior scared of him. In terms of martial arts, he's really strong, but he's too bloodthirsty, which make the Lan family locked him in their place.”
”There is no way they would let a man like this run rampart, but his skill is terribly strong. Even those famed great general might not be able to beat him,” Jun Min continued.
Yan mouth is wide open. ”How come I didn't know any news like this?”
”You're too ignorant,” Soujin answered.
”Don't spout nonsense! There is no way I could become a great merchant if I'm an ignorant person!” Yan retorted.
