238 Parting (1/2)

When Jun Hua was no longer in Lan Gao Ya's field of vision, Soujin appeared before her. Jun Hua smiled at the man, ”Let's go back. Have you waited for long?”

”Not at all,” Soujin answered and gently lifted her up to the horse again.

Jun Hua let Soujin help her as she said, ”Thank you.”

”It's nothing,” this was the least he could do to help her since he didn't manage to arrive in time to avoid her getting wounded.

Before long the two of them had returned to Yuan Kingdom, and Jun Zhenxian forced Jun Hua to rest while Soujin went towards the other two prince's place.

Soujin asked Lou when he arrived in the room, ”Have you found out what happened at the west border?”

”The Lan family suffered heavy losses with Lan Pan fled from the battlefield to the Yuan Kingdom. Prince Ming Gong returned to the capital while General Lan Ping is captured.”

Soujin didn't find the news surprising since he had just fought with Lan Pan here, ”Their leader?”

”Lan Gao Ya.”

The two other in the room opened their mouths wide. That harmless looking girl was the one that brought Lan family into destruction? The barely adult girl in their mind was indeed a bit scheming and crafty, but they didn't know that she would be so ruthless and decisive.

To instigate the battle towards her own family, how much hate she has to be able to do that? Even they didn't have the intention to kill the emperor, despite their immense hate since he was their father. Of course, if Soujin wanted to kill him, they wouldn't bother to stop him.

Soujin nodded, not feeling surprised. ”The information agency is in her hand.”

Information agency? Yan suddenly remembered his mother who was sent to the cold palace after meeting with a member of Lan family. It should be them who sent those people to his mother.

”Soujin, do you know anything about that information agency?” Yan hurriedly asked.

”It was the secret force of Lan family that once threatened the position of the emperor,” Soujin said calmly. His eyes glinted with coldness. ”To avoid the information got out, he chose to label the Lan family as traitor. Of course, only the older brother, which was why Lan Teng could be free and even become someone the emperor trust.”

Now that he thought about it, Jun Hua must have known that Lan Gao Ya was the leader in Pan Kingdom side. The Jun Family seemed to be on the rise too.

…

The next morning, Jun Zhenxian woke up early. He walked to the wall and watched as the sun rose from the east.

”General Jun Zhenxian, are your wounds already healed?” Soujin noticed this old man had woken up, so he decided to approach him.

Jun Zhenxian looked towards his hand. ”It's nothing. I was a general in my young age, getting wounded all over is usual.”

Soujin agreed with that. He too had fought in the battlefield for a long time, and getting wounded was really common, especially since he fought on the frontline.

”When will you return to Mountain Kingdom?”
