210 A Good Start for Ming Kingdom (1/2)
Nanglong Family Territory
Commanding his soldier, Soujin looked towards the soldiers from Kai Kingdom. They had not skimped on their resources and immediately sent a lot of their soldier to this place. For Soujin, that was a good thing because he would fully suppress them.
Lou was still staying hidden, but he was ready to march onwards. He can't wait to march into the battle and accompany Soujin in the fight once more. However, Soujin has a different idea for him.
”Lou, take care of that girl.”
Startled, Lou can only obey the order. He disappeared once again and looked around the soldier to find the little lass.
Among the soldier, Fan Lanying was quite conspicuous. The reason was because she was a girl and didn't really hide it since she cannot do it. But none of the soldiers dared to take advantage of her since Soujin would personally kill them if they dare to do it.
Who want to end their own life by doing something so foolish?
Looking at the enemy soldiers, Fan Lanying felt her blood boiled. This was the first time she would go to war like her dream. Seeing the large number of soldiers, she felt that she was excited yet scared at the same time.
”I will surpass you brother.”
When she was small, she loved to follow her brother to the training room and practice with him. Even if their father originally didn't want her to come, she still slipped in and practiced.
She could remember all of the training she had. Still, real battle and training were different. This battle will be hard for her.
Then, Fan Lanying remembered Ming Hui and his complicated gaze when she told him that she wanted to go to the battle. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were telling her:
'I don't want your hand to be stained by blood.'
Fan Lanying knew that he didn't want her to get hurt, but he still supported her and let her came here. For her, that was more than enough. As for staining her hand with blood, what kind of people didn't do it? Even women can do it just by using their mouth.
She only knew that and saw it for herself, but she never did that. For her, it was better to do it the direct way and didn't scheme against other. Her mother was worried about her because of that, but luckily, she didn't need to scheme when being with Ming Hui.
”I will return safely.”
The next day, the battle started. Fan Lanying was only a foot soldier, so she was included inside the mass of the soldiers. Marching towards the enemy was a feeling that she can never forget.
The harsh atmosphere, the heavy scent of metallic tang from blood, and the view of people dying in front of her, all of it was a new thing for her. Despite her having seen her father fighting, she was staying far away from the actual battlefield. Now that she was standing right in front of them, she felt that her body had turned cold from fear.
”Miss Lanying, you have to move.”
That voice woke her up. Looking around her, she found a man was holding a sword and looking at her with concern. She remembered him as the guard for Soujin. It seemed that man had specifically sent someone to protect her in this battle.
