Chapter 213: Operation to Save Prince Ming Xiao
213 Operation to Save Prince Ming Xiao
Nanglong family territory
Soujin looked towards the message on his hand with his brow creased. He had managed to calm the situation here with only a few small clashed lefts. But it didn't mean that he could leave the territory and marched towards the Yuan Kingdom. Additionally, the location was really far.
He had returned to the city and chose to walk towards the hospital. The hospital office had turned into one of their meeting place in this city.
"Ming Hui, do you have some time?" Soujin walked inside.
Ming Hui was quarrelling with Yan when Soujin came in. He looked towards the latter with eyebrow raised. It seemed the two of them were really great at timing. The day Yan returned from his trip was the same as Soujin return from the frontline.
"What is it?"
"The southwest part of the Ming Kingdom had fallen. Ming Xiao with Lin San and General Fan Dan is captured."
Originally, Ming Hui wouldn't have care about the Ming Kingdom in other area since they were still under the emperor govern. However, upon hearing the rest of the sentences, he couldn't help but feeling anxious. Ming Xiao was his brother, though he didn't have much interaction with him, he was still one of his allies.
More importantly, there was General Fan Dan and Lin San. General Fan Dan was the father of Fan Lanying, how could he bear to let the father of his girlfriend die? As for Lin San, Jun Hua has called her as her sister and it will be hard for them to let her die. If Jun Hua was sad, Soujin would surely felt bad too.
"How are going to save them?" Ming Hui looked towards Soujin.
"I'm going to send Lou. Because of that, I will call Fan Lanying from the battlefield."
Hearing that news, Ming Hui eyes lit up. He wanted to meet with her again. "How is her condition after going through the battle?"
"She is quite good, and I have promoted her as a small squad leader. She is learning how to lead them with Lou guarding her."
Ming Hui heaved a sigh of relief. He hoped for her to say alright and there was nothing better than the word coming from Soujin himself. But that rescue mission…
"When are they going?"
"This afternoon," Soujin answered.
"Let me come with Lou."
By the side, Yan almost fall from his chair. "Are you crazy? What do you want to do upon reaching there? Do you think you have good martial arts of what?"
What Yan said was correct. Compared with the other two, Ming Hui was far lacking in martial arts. Due to him always posing up as a girl, he needed to sneak out in order to train. Because of that, in terms of power, he was always a bit lacking compared to ordinary man.
Ming Hui also didn't know why he wanted to go, but he knew that he cannot stay here and wait without knowing what the result might be. Previously, he can still be patience and wait for Fan Lanying because he knew that the girl was safe under Soujin. But this time, he wanted to participate in the rescue mission for Fan Lanying father.
Ming Hui ignored Yan and stared at the man in front of him, hoping to get the permission from him. Soujin was still calm and composed. He nodded faintly.
"You can go."
"Thank you very much, Soujin."
Yan shook his head. "You better not be a burden, Ming Hui."
Ming Hui nodded. He will try his best there.
"Do you want to come too, Yan?"
"No, I still have some matter as a merchant here," Yan shrugged. He would be better off stayed here rather than coming along.
"Be careful on your journey," Soujin remarked. He wouldn't participate in the mission since he needed to stay in this territory.
Ming Hui nodded his head in understanding. Standing up from his chair, he started packing up everything he might need.
…
Mountain Kingdom
Jun Hua looked towards the battle report with her brow creased. Ming Xiao lost so quickly? With the ability of Fan family, there should have been impossible to lose that early. That was unless; the information about the place was leaked.
The Yuan Kingdom never has that much of power from what she knew. They were being pressed down all these years, and Fan family was quite powerful. This defeat was out of her expectation.
"Hua'er?" Jun Qing asked worriedly.
Jun Hua raised her head. "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about the Yuan Kingdom and all."
Jun Qing nodded. He was in a meeting with Jun Hua as the emperor and strategist. After hearing the news about the condition in southwest part of Ming Kingdom, Jun Hua fell silent. The little girl rarely thought for a long time because she could guess the possibility at fast speed. This was the reason Jun Qing felt worried.
"Do you want to help them?"
Mountain Kingdom hadn't participated in the war after the incident with Kai Kingdom. All this time, they are staying in the sidelines without anyone approaching them except that incident. The battle had gone for some time now, but Jun Hua kept on strengthening the soldier by giving them hellish training. With most of them had to train for a long time, they were not in the position to deploy them.
Jun Qing knew that Jun Hua must have wanted to help them. Lin San was her stepsister that had changed so much. She had gone through all the trouble before, so now Jun Hua wanted to continue helping the girl. And General Fan was Fan Lanying father. Jun Hua would not want to see her best friend sad.
"I do," Jun Hua answered without any hesitation.
"How do you want to help them?" Jun Qing had thought about participating in the war to help them. With the force from Ming Kingdom and Mountain Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom would lose. However, that would mean they were siding with Ming Kingdom, something no one here would like to.
Jun Hua shook her head. "We are not going to go to war yet, Uncle. Should the Ming Kingdom suffer, their attention would shift to us if that is what we do."
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Jun Hua looked towards the map before turning her head, "Yasha, calls Yabei and the first squad. Send that one."
"Yes Miss."
Jun Qing looked towards Jun Hua. "You should take care of your body better. I don't want to hear news that you get badly hurt from this journey."
Jun Hua smiled. "Trust me Uncle. I won't be that rash."
Jun Qing looked towards Jun Hua suspiciously before nodding his head. "I pray for your success."
"Thank you Uncle."
