178 The News Spreads (1/2)

City of Long Han

A young man is watching the paper containing news from Ming Kingdom with a grim expression. The girl beside him also looks worried. It can't be helped, the news they get from the capital is truly shocking.

”Do you think Jun Hua will be alright?” the girl, Fan Lanying, asked with worried tone.

Ming Hui didn't answer. After coming to this city, he had been dressed as man when he's inside the house. There is no one watching him anymore like when he's still in the capital, so he's feeling more comfortable. Besides, he has been trying to erase the presence of 'Princess Ming Hui' from existence here.

He thought that each of them would be able to get out from the capital easily because of the incoming war. However, this news really caught him off guard.

”I don't know, Lanying. Just hope for the best.”

Fan Lanying nodded. Her heart cannot stay calm, but she cannot possibly go to the capital right now. There must be quite chaotic in the city with this kind of event happening.

Ming Hui is more worried about Yan and Soujin. From the story, he knows that the two of them are walking with Jun Min before the incident. They might not be able to accept this kind of ending. If Jun Min were to die in the battlefield, they would be sad, but they would be sad for a few days at most before plotting for revenge.

This time, they might harm themselves for not be able to prevent this from happening, which is quite worrying. But one thing for sure, the Lan family is done for.

”I'm sure, they are going to be alright.”

Fan Lanying can only accept what Ming Hui said as her hearts still in chaos.

Mountain Kingdom

Jun Qing stared at the message in his hand with complicated expression. He had heard the news in the capital that Jun Min had died. At that time, he almost takes his sword to go to the capital in a fit of fury. Then there is a message from Jun Zhenxian coming here. The message is short.

'Take care of yourself. Your father and Jun Hua will come there soon.'

That message explained to him everything. The one who died is Jun Min, but Jun Hua is still alive. It means, that incident is something that little lass had planned beforehand to finally erase the name of Jun Min from history.

But that little girl is really ruthless. She purposely waited until there are people coming to plot against her, and then she used the scheme to deal with them. Causing them to lose even more terrible than what they bet at first.

”Kuina, you can come in if you want to.”

The door opened and a girl comes in. Kuina looks towards Jun Qing with worry.

”Jun Hua, is she?”

”She is fine. That death of Jun Min is only her plot, you don't have to worry,” Jun Qing beckoned for her to come nearer.

”Really, she even faked her death?” Kuina looks surprised.

Jun Qing laughed. ”You can never guess what is in that lass head. I think she had been planning for this kind of thing for a long time. She was just waiting for a good time to erase her identity as Jun Min and proceed with only being Jun Hua.”

This time, she used that Lan family to bear the burden of her death. It seemed that her favorite move is making her enemy bear the burden of killing someone. First, there is that brat, Lin Kang who 'died' from falling off cliff. After that, the concubine of Lin Tang who burned herself, that time it's not her ploy, though she participates in ending it. And now, she used herself.

Jun Qing wouldn't want to be the enemy of Jun Hua because he knows full wells of the army behind her and her capability. As her uncle, he was surprised over and over again of her ability that surpassed the norm.

”Seemed like I got quite a capable niece,” Kuina grinned.
