Chapter 199: Coronation Ceremony
199 Coronation Ceremony
Jun Hua didn't take a long time to return to the capital, but for the people in the palace, they were stunned to see that the number of people missing had been increasing rapidly during the time Jun Hua gone. She had to explain that those were the works of people under her, which she dispatched to clean up.
"How in the world you get that massive army in the span of few days?" Jun Qing looked suspiciously.
Jun Hua only laughed at that remark. She didn't explain the hidden things she had done on those few days. As the day of the coronation got closer, the number of people who were restless increased. Jun Hua kept on being a busy person to eliminate those spies that coming to the Mountain Kingdom.
Jun Zhenxian shook his head as he looked at his granddaughter. "You need some rest, little lass."
"The number of people coming is just too much," Jun Hua said helplessly. She too wanted some rest, but the numbers of reports from the X Empire were just too many. She needed to deal with those spies and the information cracked from them.
Looking at that stack of paper in front of Jun Hua, Jun Zhenxian remembered when he too have too much work. Now, he can divide the work with his underling and all, but it was Jun Hua's turn to have so many works to do.
"Where are they come from?"
"Most of them are from Pan Kingdom and the rest are divided into Ming Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom, and Kai Kingdom," Jun Hua answered.
"They too are suspicious?" Jun Zhenxian eyebrows rose.
Jun Hua nodded. She smiled slightly. "The kingdom will be chaotic on that day. The preparation needed to be perfect."
"General Tou had assigned more people to the capital."
Those were not what she meant by preparation. There were other things she needed to be wary off since the coronation of a new emperor was truly important. While the ceremony was going on in the capital, there are things she needed to take care off.
"Tomorrow, Grandpa needs to guard Uncle," Jun Hua said solemnly. "He needed to continue with the ceremony no matter what happened. And no one is allowed to get inside the hall."
"What are you planning, little girl?"
Jun Hua stared at the map before her. Her expression was serious, "Something outrageous."
Jun Zhenxian sighed as his granddaughter left the palace again. Now that she no longer hide behind the figure Jun Min, she became a little girl who went everywhere at will. There were no longer any eyes in this place that capable to watch her over.
The little girl is no longer the little lass who stay inside her home anymore when she was dressed as a girl.
…
The coronation day
"You're ready?" Kuina looked towards Jun Qing who was dressed up carefully.
Jun Qing nodded. He is ready and no matter what happened outside, he needed to finish the ceremony.
"I will accompany you until you're near the hall. After that I will stay on my place."
"Thank you."
Hand in hand, the two of them walked towards the hall. The servants were all looking down, no one knew what they were thinking as the two of them passed.
…
Jun Hua stared at the commotion from her carriage. Her eyes were glinting with icy cold expression, but she didn't move even a single step from her carriage.
Yabei came to her side and bowed respectfully.
"Kill the leader, show no mercy," Jun Hua said one sentence.
"Yes Miss!"
Yabei immediately retreated as Jun Hua looked towards the people from the distance. She knew that the riots were incited by people who dissatisfied with the new emperor. They don't know who he is, but there were people who felt that the emperor was not suitable for their princess and kingdom.
Jun Hua felt that their action was really laughable. Do they think that they can create a mess just because they didn't get the chance to know the emperor before the coronation? The perpetrator will be catch in no time as Jun Hua moved her army while staying in the carriage that kept on moving.
"Miss, you need to eat first," Xia reminded the girl.
Jun Hua took the bread from Xia as her eyes kept on plastered on the map before her. Her hands keep on playing the stones as she kept on giving order. The people from X Empire become her errand boy as they need to relay the message in the shortest time possible before returning back here.
"The second squad over there, tell them to move towards the east."
Xia waited by the side patiently as Jun Hua only looked towards the map and do the calculation on her head. A few times the carriage will stop and Jun Hua would stare outside, looking towards the battle from afar.
"Things are getting messier," Jun Hua bit her lower lips. The number of riots kept on increasing, it seemed the spies hadn't been fully eliminated yet.
"Tell the ninth and tenth squad to move, as swiftly as possible."
Xia was startled. Jun Hua's soldiers are divided into 10 squads with the ninth and tenth were the hidden squad whose job is to do things without being known. They were the most talented people under Jun Hua and rarely used because they need to keep on training to keep their skill up to par.
Other than Jun Hua and the 12 members of Dark Squad, who was the leader of each squad except Yasha and Yamin, no one can beat the people from the ninth and tenth squad. It seemed that Jun Hua was ready to go all out in this battle.
"Miss, has the situation gone out of control?"
Jun Hua shook her head. "Not yet, but they need to be quick before the news traveled to the capital and possibly hindered the ceremony."
…
Jun Zhenxian watched the people getting information from here and there, but he didn't allow them to go inside the hall at all. His face was stern, but his heart was full of worries.
"The news is getting out of hand," General Tou sighed as he waved his hand to move his soldier.
Jun Zhenxian nodded. "It will soon get better."
After a long day waiting, finally the door opened and the messenger who came looked excited. "The riots have been put off."
Jun Zhenxian and General Tou smiled towards each other. They have succeeded in the first plan.
"That girl is really amazing."
