Chapter 409 - Epilogue 3: The Legend Of ‘Flowers Bloom From Battlefield’ (1/2)

For years, Long Kingdom has grown, and the period of war that started the kingdom has become nothing but a history, far away from the current new generation. The number of soldiers around the areas had started to decrease so much as there were no more rebels for the past few years.

Inside a small city, a young boy was running around happily. Around him, several boys were also running around, targeting the young boy.

”Jun Xiao, are you helping your father with his work again?” one of the kids asked.

The one named Jun Xiao was a young kid with a tender appearance. He smiled cheekily when he heard the answer. ”Of course, Father allows me to help him out with his work.”

Another one sneered. ”What's the fun of doing the work for adults? We already have to learn a lot of things to be a scholar, why do you make things difficult by helping your father in his work?”

”It's fun.”

”Are you telling me that copying literary words every single day is fun? Jun Xiao, you have to renew your sense of fun things.”

Jun Xiao chuckled. He helped his father to do his work not because he liked the work. After all, seeing those works that filled with numerous words caused his eyes to hurt too. However, his father would always tell him interesting stories after he had finished the work. Because of those stories, he decided to help his father.

After playing around for some time with the boys, Jun Xiao made his way back home. He saw that his father was busy writing something on the paper.

”Father, I'm home.”

Jun Xiao's father, Jun Kang, raised his head when he saw his son. He smiled gently. ”You play around for a long time. Have you finished your task of copying the scripture?”

”I have finished them, Father,” Jun Xiao replied as he ran to his father's side. Peering over the paper that his father had written, he noticed that it contained a report about a prince.

”You shouldn't get involved in my work too much, Jun Xiao,” Jun Kang patted the boy's head. ”This is an important letter for an important person.”

”I want to help you again, Father,” Jun Xiao replied resolutely.

”Then you can help me to deliver the letter to the palace after I have finished writing.”

Jun Xiao nodded his head vigorously. ”After I have delivered the letter, I want to hear more about the first female general in this country, Father. I want to hear more about what happened in the training hall against the audacious minister from Gu Yue Kingdom.”

”Oh?” Jun Kang arched his eyebrows. ”I thought that I have already told you this stories countless times?”

”It's not enough, Father.”

Jun Kang smiled wryly. He was still writing his report as he told the story to his son. ”A few years ago, a group of ministers comes from the Gu Yue Kingdom to make a different trade with the Long Kingdom. As the show of respect, General Hua came to this area personally with her husband. During one of the meeting, they offend the general because of her gender.

Although General Hua didn't mind about it, her husband was angry and ordered a challenge against that minister. Coincidentally, that minister was very proficient in martial arts, so they compete in martial arts.”

Putting his brush down, Jun Kang looked at his son. ”I believe you know what happens afterwards.”

Jun Xiao nodded his head excitedly. ”General Hua defeats him in a matter of seconds. Father, she's really cool! I want to be like her in the future.”

”Xiao'er, it's hard to be a general. You're far better with learning as a scholar. Don't you want to be like me and write more interesting stories every day?”

”Okay, I'll work harder, Father!”

Jun Kang smiled with satisfaction at his son's response. He folded the paper before putting it into a map and handed it to Jun Xiao. ”Hand this to Prince Ming Hui. Remember that no one is allowed to open the letter except Prince Ming Hui.”

”Yes, Father!”

Running outside the house, Jun Xiao put the letter on his breast pocket before heading towards the palace. This was not the first time his father tasked him to go to the palace. Her father had asked him to do this a few times.

Upon reaching the door, the guards only need one look before allowing him to get inside.

”Arara, you're coming here again, Jun Xiao?” one of the servants asked with an inquiring tone.
