Chapter 236: Riding Horse
236 Riding Horse
"You should treat your wound," Ming Hui remarked after seeing the fight end.
Soujin looked towards the two men who had come out to see him. He frowned a little bit, "You two shouldn't have come out."
"The fight has ended. There's no need to worry about him hurting us," Yan shrugged with a grin plastered on his face.
"If he attacks you, I won't save you," Soujin remarked towards Yan.
"…You're really cruel."
Ming Hui pointed out to Lan Pan's corpse, "What do you want to do with him?"
At that question, Soujin didn't immediately answer and merely looked towards Jun Zhenxian. The old man walked down the stairs towards them slowly. His eyes locked unto Lan Pan, as if he wanted to carve the other party countenance in his head.
He truly wondered what this martial art genius would achieve if only he didn't have to go through that abuse in his childhood. Being forced to kill people at such young age and not allowed having feeling, he became like this. He was truly a pitiful young man.
"Let's cover up this incident," Jun Zhenxian answered after a moment. In any case, it would bring them a lot of trouble if people were to know that Soujin left his post and came towards Yuan Kingdom during this time. Not to mention the fact that Kai Kingdom would surely use this chance to attack them should they know about Soujin's disappearance.
Soujin nodded his head. "I will ask my men to bring him towards the forest where he had massacred a lot of people before."
If the other party were to be found at that place, people would assume that he fought until his death there. With the limited knowledge of how strong Lan Pan was, it won't be difficult for them to think that he was exhausting himself and fought his end with those people.
Jun Zhenxian nodded his head. If there was anyone who would feel suspicious, it would be the Lan Family and those who knew this monster personally. Other than them, it was close to impossible for them to know that the other party was a genuine monster with fighting capabilities exceeding the norm.
"You will go there too?" Ming Hui asked.
Soujin was about to shake his head when he sensed the girl's presence. He immediately looked up and saw a young lady wearing a veil looking back towards him. Her steps were uneven, but her eyes looked towards them clearly.
"Hua'er, have you fully recovered?" Jun Zhenxian frowned. This little lass hadn't got that much rest after being wounded so badly and yet she already walked around again. Really, he truly wished for her to be more sensible in the future as to not make him worry continuously.
"I'm fine. I just want to accompany him to the forest," Jun Hua answered.
Soujin frowned. The forest was not safe, and what did she want from walking inside a place that has horrible stench? However, in the next second, he understood and nodded his head.
"I understand, but you're not allowed to stay far away from me."
Jun Hua nodded, "You will protect me?"
"Of course."
On the side, Yan felt like cursing. What's with that different treatment? He said that he wouldn't protect them, but towards the girl, he immediately said that he will protect her. That's totally unfair!
Jun Zhenxian wanted to protest, but Jun Hua didn't listen to the old man as she walked towards Soujin's horse. It will be faster if she used horse, but because of her condition, there was no way she could ride one herself. The only option would be riding with Soujin.
Seeing how Jun Hua didn't seem to have any intention to listen, Jun Zhenxian decided to not bother with her anymore. If she wanted to go to the forest so much, he would not complain anymore.
"Young man, you better protect her inside."
Soujin nodded his head and pulled his horse rein to make him stand still.
Seeing her action, Ming Hui smiled secretly and waved his hand towards his brother, "Let's go inside and wait. Soujin's men are enough to do this job and the soldiers from Yuan Kingdom can return too."
"Fine, now you better help me find someone to establish a trade with," Yan sighed.
Jun Zhenxian looked towards the two of them. "That troublemaker prince is still looking for business partner?"
"I'm not troublemaker!" if you want to insult someone couldn't you at least say that in the back?
Ming Hui rolled his eyes at his brother response, "He is. Do you want to make some deal with him?"
Jun Zhenxian nodded. He knew that doing business with Yan would be beneficial since the other party was good. With the two of them collaborating together, the distance between Jun family and Nanglong party shouldn't be too far anymore. Besides, he too required more business to expand the economy of Jun family.
Yan eyes lit up at that mention and he no longer bothered with Soujin's unfair treatment from before. All he could think was how to make this business profitable. The business deal with the Jun family was really interesting, and Yan felt that it was fortunate that he had come here.
Jun Hua looked at the two of them amusedly. These two were truly funny.
"Stop looking at them," Soujin held Jun Hua's as gentle as he could and helped her to sit on the horse.
Realizing her position, Jun Hua thought that it would have been better if she had used men's robe. At the very least, the position won't be this awkward. Before she could voice out her complain they departed.
Jun Zhenxian looked towards the two of them with a slight smile. It would still take some time before the war would end, but there was nothing wrong if they wanted to enjoy each other company once in a while. After all, he knew how it felt to be in love.
"General Jun Zhenxian, what do you think if we do this…" Yan kept on talking as they walk to come into term with their business.
The sound of the horse stomping the ground can be heard loud and clear in this silent forest. Jun Hua eyes watched the side as she found some trace of massacred from Lan Pan. With the other party death, she might not be able to understand why he did that, but she knew he became like that because of his father.
"Don't look," Soujin said in a low tone.
Jun Hua looked up to this man face and rested her head on his chest. She had grown a little bit taller since last time, but she's still not this man match, so obviously she was still far shorter compared to him.
"What do you think of Lan Pan, General Soujin?"
Soujin arched his eyebrows, "He's an idiot who didn't know how to get out from his family and only follow what his father had chosen for him."
'He's not that much of an idiot too,' Jun Hua thought to herself. But it was true that he was someone who can't make his own path and only followed what his father had chosen from him. That was what made her felt like the Lan Family members are all so pitiful. They were clearly a family, yet not a single one of them actually cared for each other.
"We're here," Soujin stopped the horse. His men already put Lan Pan's corpse in the middle of the massacre the other party did before his death. It was not far from them, but the smell of blood was extremely strong.
Jun Hua climbed down slowly with the other party help. She looked up to him, "Do you want to meet with her too?"
"There's no need for me to interfere with your business with that girl. You can settle things by yourself," Soujin answered and immediately moved back before disappearing from her field of vision.
Although she couldn't see him, she knew he was near, ready to help her should she need it. Jun Hua stood calmly on her place. Her eyes looked towards the deep forest, waiting patiently.
