225 Unexpected Surprise (1/2)
Jun Hua felt her mind blanked for a moment. How did the other party guess it? She was sure that she didn't show any loopholes and didn't allow him to see through her. Was it because of the difference in their martial arts? With her head having so many unanswered questions, Jun Hua was really confused. Yet, she didn't show any of them on the outside.
Smiling, she retorted. ”Didn't Prince Tang Xuan know that Jun Min is dead?”
”The corpse is fake,” Prince Tang Xuan answered calmly. ”Jun Min is someone who is highly proficient in martial arts and has high power. To be unable to escape from that room of fire is highly impossible. The corpse is in Pan Kingdom, but I got the chance to examine it once. The one who died is indeed a young man, but his height and part of the intact clothes didn't suit with the information regarding Jun Min.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't realize this one fact. But I can notice the difference right away. Since Jun Min is still alive, you who have similar stature of a scholar and high martial arts are likely Jun Min. Is my conclusion right?”
For Jun Min, this was truly a huge blunder. How can she expect there would be someone who noticed the difference right away? The numbers of young man criminals in the death row were few, and she could only pick someone who has quite similar stature with her.
The number of people who can notice the difference should be only a handful. What kind of man was this person before her to be able to notice the different so quickly? This prince was really interesting and rather scary at the same time.
”You're right,” Jun Hua admitted. ”What do you want?”
Prince Tang Xuan smiled. ”I want you to take over Yuan Kingdom.”
Once again, Jun Hua mind blanked. Was the person before her really a crown prince? How a prince could be so willing to give up their kingdom for other people? She looked towards Prince Tang Xuan with confusion. What was going on in Yuan Kingdom?
Prince Tang Xuan gave her a wry smile. ”I'm not really a prince from Yuan Kingdom. I'm only here because of business, similar with you. I come from beyond the river and I only have the time to stay here for a couple of weeks until the water goes down again and I can return.
The emperor didn't have children, and the people around him are not really qualified for being an emperor. At first, he wanted me to succeed, but I don't want to stay here for a long time. Previously, he wanted to give it to Ming Kingdom, but upon knowing the truth about Jun family, we switched our target.”
Jun Hua stared back deeply. ”I guess, the attack towards Ming Kingdom is planned by you?”
Prince Tang Xuan nodded. He didn't have any intention to hide it. After all, what he did is not one to be praised about, and the fact that he did want to meet with Jun family is the true reason.
”I know that Jun family had some animosity with Ming Kingdom, but he too has friends there. When I heard that the one who came is Prince Ming Xiao and his wife, Lin San, I remember that Lin San is your sister stepsister. Thus, I planned to kidnap them and lure you to come.”
Jun Hua nodded. After this prince saying those things, she came to understand why the event was like that. That was probably the reason he only sent two small groups to chase after Ming Xiao and Lin San. Their target was not them, but her. They wanted her to see the martial arts they have to make her come to this kingdom.
”But why did you leave Lin San in that head guard charge? Don't you know what he's going to do?”
