331 You’re Late, Ming Yan (1/2)

Palace in the Previous Pan Kingdom's area

”Even though you send it early, you're still being held up in this city for a long time,” Yan smirked as he teased his brother.

Ming Hui smiled wryly at her brother's remark. From the time he got the approval, two months have passed and the administration in the capital hasn't finished yet. No matter how impatient he was, he still needed to wait for some time before he could get her.

”I have waited for months. A couple of weeks are nothing in comparison,” Ming Hui said with a straight face.

”… What if I hold you here for another year?”

Ming Hui shot a murderous glare at Yan, which shut the other party for good. Yan looked towards the paper on the side as he picks one of them.

”The matter with Ye Jiu, no one knew what to do with him.”

Although Pan Kingdom has fallen to their hand, it didn't mean everyone was under them. There were several leaders who still went against them and declare the fight, one of them was Ye Jiu. However, Ye Jiu case was special because he didn't initiate a fight, rather he disappeared from the kingdom completely.

No matter how many times they tried to trace him, they couldn't find his whereabouts, including his personal soldiers amounted to a handful of people. It was only a few days ago did they found out that he had come to the strange tribe near the Pan Kingdom border along with his soldiers. Because of the tribe's power, no one dared to continue investigating inside.

”We can't trace him, but he can return whenever he wanted,” Ming Hui frowned. He knew that letting the other party retreated during the battle might make the situation complicated, but they were not in the shape to pursue him at that time. In the future, this Ye Jiu would surely become a thorn.

”At least, he's the last one from the Pan Kingdom royal family,” Yan felt heartache when he remembered that wise emperor from Pan Kingdom. If not because he had grown old and have such a useless son, he believed that the Pan Kingdom would not fall to their hand. Having to initiate the execution of such a figure make him felt heartache.

”Do you still want to rope him in? Give up that thought, he would not abandon his country at all,” even Ming Hui didn't want to remember the scene of that time anymore. The emperor was really hard headed, and he would not bow to anyone. He didn't think that it was weird either because as the ruler, there was no way he would willingly bow to other people.

”I know.”

”Well, the crown prince is more cooperative, though,” Ming Hui added.

”There is no way I want someone like him,” Yan remembered that annoying prince. That prince was really a pampered one because he couldn't even act to surrender. The malicious gaze on his eye was as clear as day, which made Yan chose to not use him instantly.

”He can become bait,” Ming Hui shrugged.

”No thank you, I would not want to use him even as bait,” Yan shook his head.

Ming Hui didn't pursue the matter further. Browsing through the paper once again, he made sure that those who didn't have the capability would not have the position while those who loyal and all could have it. Of course, those who didn't want to submit were eliminated first.

”With this, the conquest to unite the five kingdoms come to an end,” Yan smirked, ”I never thought that it would be this quick.”
