299 Gathering Together (1/2)

The battle soon ended and most of the soldiers from Ming Kingdom were either captured or escaped. Soujin let Lou handle all the matter as he met with Jun Hua, Yan, and Ming Hui on the top of the wall. He came the last because he needed to handle some matter beforehand.

Yan waved to Soujin when he appeared, ”You are really something. Why don't you tell us about your and Jun Hua plan?”

”It's Princess Hua for you,” Soujin said calmly.

”You still didn't answer my first question.”

Ming Hui shrugged. ”Why should he answer it? It's clear that you wouldn't understand anything even if he tells you.”

”My IQ is not that bad!” Yan protested.

Soujin didn't say to him is because he didn't know when Jun Hua can come to the border. He could have planned another plan in case Jun Hua didn't come, but he wanted to trust her. Because of that, he waited patiently.

Jun Hua walked towards Soujin. ”Sorry that I took so long.”

Although she had already prepared the soldiers on the border, it took her some time to make their condition back to the prime. Because of her training, they were already on the verge of death. She has no choice but to wait and secretly yelled towards her uncle inside her head because he was the one who ordered them to train again.

Seeing that Soujin was still the same as before, she felt relieved. He was indeed someone really amazing, she shouldn't have worried about him too much.

”No, you come earlier than what I thought,” Soujin caressed the girl's hair.

Jun Hua didn't protest. ”That person on Strategist Wu side, is he someone you send?”

”No, I didn't send him,” Soujin shook his head. Jun Hua looked up at him, their difference in height made her unable to see his face clearly without looking up.

”Rei was my father right hand. When the matter in my family happens, he is away on a mission. When he returns, he said that he is going to sneak into the emperor side and make his way to become someone they trusted before moving.”

Soujin really admired Rei for his dedication. For almost 14 years, he waited and climbed on Strategist Wu side little by little. In order to become Strategist Wu right hand was not easy and Rei must be holding himself back really hard all this time. All these years of preparation were for one single moment, the time when Strategist Wu didn't have his guard on.

Rei could move far earlier because there were chances in the past too, but he didn't do it. He had to wait for Soujin to be ready because once the four people were gone, the emperor would be heading to his doom. Soujin must be ready to face the other kingdom eyeing the kingdom, so he waited.

”Before us, there might be someone else moving,” Jun Hua eyes flashed with interest.

”Who is it?” Ming Hui turned his head curiously.

”Xuan Pei,” Soujin answered. ”With the opportunity given to him, he would surely use it to force the emperor down.”

”That sharp teacher? I thought that he was only a smart person,” Yan murmured.

The other three looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world. Seeing their gaze, Yan felt that he has done something wrong, what was it? Could it be that his IQ has dropped to unprecedented heights that he couldn't understand what was going on?

”Xuan Pei is a spy from Pan Kingdom,” Jun Hua explained, ”He hides his track deeply, but there is still some traces left on him.”
