393 Leader (1/2)

Ming Hui looked at the group of officials in front of him with a slightly tired expression. He felt that the waves from the rebels would not end when they finally managed to drive most of them back. Only some of them left, but he and the others officials were all dead tired from their work these past few weeks.

”The matter was almost finished, good work, everyone,” he said amiably, putting a smile out of his tired face.

The officials have a smile plastered on their face. After weeks of working nonstop, they have finally finished everything. They really wanted to have a good night sleep. For now, that would be the best reward they could get.

Seeing their expression, Ming Hui smiled and waved his hand, dismissing them. ”You can all have a rest. There won't be any meeting tomorrow.”

That was the best news they have heard ever since the rebels happen. It was only, after all, the officials went did Ming Hui sat down on his chair. He slumped down on his chair, the total opposite to the strong figure he showed just before. He felt the most tired since he basically had mountains of works yet he still tried to pose as a good leader.

As someone who has been used to work behind the scene, posing as the leader was very tiresome for him. He truly wanted to stay at the back and not do all of these works.

”That Soujin… he should be the one who was sent here,” he muttered in displeasure. Although he knew that it would be tiring, this was the first time he truly experienced it for himself.

”Your Highness?” a knock was heard.

Ming Hui was already familiar with that knock, so he didn't bother to straighten his position and merely answered, ”You can come in, Commander Fan Ying.”

With a slight push, the door was opened and a young man came in. He was still wearing his body armor, which was dirty, but Ming Hui didn't mind it. With their condition not long ago, it was already good enough that the other party was alive and didn't suffer a lot of loss.

”How's the battle?”

”We have managed to secure their base,” Fan Ying answered, ”But most of them were killed since they fight back violently. Only a few of them could be taken back alive.”

Ming Hui nodded, ”I will let it up to you to handle them. Try to get as much information as you can from them.”

”Yes Your Highness,” Fan Ying answered, but he didn't only have one thing he needed to say, ”Prince Soujin would arrive at this city tomorrow. There is a messenger telling you to prepare for his coming with a moderate welcome since there are Princess Meng and Tang Xuan.”

Ming Hui's face paled at that news. Just when he thought he could have a rest, the other party had to send such news to him. He groaned at the thought of getting up from here and prepared everything to welcome the other party.

”Wait, what is Soujin doing here?” Ming Hui recalled that Jun Hua was pregnant. Why did her husband suddenly show up here?

”He was chosen to become Long Kingdom representative to the Gu Yue Kingdom, so he came here.”

”No, not that, I want to know about his wife.”

”Princess Hua has given birth to a son and currently in her confinement period,” Fan Ying answered. As Jun Hua's soldier, he received news about things faster compared with other places, so he knew about the matter quickly enough.

Ming Hui tapped the chair. So it seemed he had missed the time to see his best friend son. Never mind, he could return back to the capital after this.

”Fan Ying, do you still have the energy to run on the street?”
