158 Going to Northeast Border (2/2)

Jun Hua just smiled. ”I can't always do this.”

”This painting is good. Can I keep it?”

Jun Hua nodded. Soujin took the painting and let the paint dry before rolling it up. He looks towards the girl before him.

”Will you move from the Ming Kingdom?”

Jun Hua nodded. ”Don't you already know that?”

”I do.”

Soujin know, but he doesn't want to let her go. He wants her to stay here with him, but he knows that it's merely his selfishness. He can't possibly confine her and trapped her inside. She had her own life to follow.

The journey took some time since the nearer border is still quite far. By the time they arrived, it's already the night. Soujin arranged some people to prepare the place for them to stay at night. The place is not luxurious, but it's clean and spacious.

”Does Nanglong territory big?” Jun Hua asked.

”It's not really big. You should have known that Ming Kingdom is divided into 5 territories, northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest, and central. The capital is located in the central territory while Nanglong family holds the northeast. This northeast is not really big because the bigger one is the central and northwest area.”

”It has grown bigger because of war.”

”Yes, the same as your family territory, we have expanded a bit towards Kai Kingdom and the east. The size is still cannot be compared with that two, though.”

Jun Hua nodded. Jun family got the smallest area, but they have been expanding using war and conquest all these years. Their territory has grown bigger and she would not let it fall to the imperial family.

”What are you thinking?” Soujin asked.

Jun Hua raised her head. ”I'm thinking how to claim our own territory out from Ming Kingdom.”

”You can think about it later, eat then sleep.”

The night has come and Jun Hua doesn't want to spend her time thinking about those things too. She eats some food then goes to the garden, looking at the city near them.

”Is Lanying over there?” Jun Hua pointed to the city.

Soujin shakes his head. ”They are located farther to the east. You can't see them from here.”

Jun Hua feels a bit sad, but they should have another chance to meet in the future. She wants to meet her, but probably it's better to be in the future after everything is over.

”I hope they can stay away from this.”

”Maybe they can't.”

”Because of Ming Hui?” Jun Hua asked.

Soujin nodded. Ming Hui has his own grudge towards the imperial family and he's not going to stay quiet when all of this happened.

”I see. I hope she can survive.”
