Chapter 243: Pushing Kai Kingdom Back
243 Pushing Kai Kingdom Back
Yan and Ming Hui also returned to the capital at almost the same time with Soujin. Given that that young general had sprinted suddenly, it was only normal that they arrived later. Seeing the city under the siege, there was no way that Soujin wouldn't pace the horse faster to go there.
"Ming Xiao!" Yan yelled towards his brother with surprise. He didn't expect to see his ordinary brother to be participating in the fight too.
Ming Xiao kicked his opponent and slashed him before turning his head towards his brother. "Third Brother, you have returned."
"Of course," Yan smirked. "Leave this to me. I'm far better than you."
Ming Xiao nodded his head. His martial arts were not as good as his brother, so he only managed to fend off some of the soldiers before feeling tired. Looking towards his brother back, he smiled. The tide would turn in their favor now.
Arriving at the city, Ming Hui make the way straight to Fan Lanying house. He was glad to see her was fine and busy fighting in the courtyard with Fan Dan guarding the back. With the additional of Ming Hui, they can finally rest their hand.
Fan Lanying was really excited to see Ming Hui again. After not seeing each other for some time she was happy to see him. After all, she didn't get the chance to return to the frontline again after her father had told her that she needed more training and forced her to return, which made her days were only filled with training lately.
"Did you get wounded?" Ming Hui looked towards Fan Lanying and looked at her ups and down.
Fan Lanying shook her head. "If there is anyone that hurts, it should be my father. He's the one who's doing the fight more than me."
Ming Hui gave a glance towards Fan Dan before shaking his head. "Nope, the two of you didn't have any wound."
"You can know just from a glance?"
"Yes, it's quite normal unless your wound is really light."
Ming Hui came to remember the time he met with Jun Min. The other party can immediately know that Yan was wounded only by sweeping his glance. That person must have high martial arts to recognize it so easily. As for him, it was because of his medical expertise.
He had been training to do that since young so that he could handle a difficult patient. There were some people who didn't even know when they are hurt or hiding their wound because of some reason. In order to let them get treated, he had been practicing that skill.
For him to practice was not that hard since Yan was always getting hurt. Using him as an experiment, he could test it over and over until he could do it right every time.
"You're amazing," Fan Lanying nodded. "What about Prince Yan and General Soujin?"
"Yan is busy cleaning the remaining Kai Kingdom soldiers in the city," Ming Hui lips curved up. He bet that from this fight; the name of Yan would turn significantly. They would not only see him as a useless prince that could only make trouble, but also someone who was really capable.
"As for Soujin, he's on the frontline leading the soldier for counterattack."
Fan Lanying nodded in understanding. But, she then looked at Ming Hui with inquiry. Ming Hui felt that there was something wrong from her gaze, but before he could ask, the girl already asked him a question.
"From your way of addressing them, are you close with them?"
Ming Hui had just called Prince Yan as Yan while General Soujin as Soujin. Normally, Ming Hui wouldn't talk about them to Fan Lanying, and the girl rarely paid any attention, but today her interest piqued up when hearing the way Ming Hui called them.
Cold sweats broke out on his back when he recalled how he had called the two of them. No matter which angle to look at, the two of them have their distinguished title. Stealing a glance at Fan Dan, he immediately realized that the other party interest had been piqued up too.
I'm finished!
"Yan is my brother, and Soujin is his best friend. I have been meeting them often."
The news of him following Yan in the city should have been known to a lot of people. Rarely anyone ever asked about that to him since the princess was always close with the third prince.
Fan Lanying looked at him suspiciously. "Help me clean up."
"Sure."
Fan Dan looked at that young man and sighed. It seemed, he had begun to understand how the boy could have that much confidence. The lineup of the forces against the emperor was not in any way light or small.
"If you fail with that much help, I will personally make sure that you will not be able to get close with Lanying."
The voice of Fan Dan was not loud, but Ming Hui could hear it clearly. Did it mean the other party finally decided to approve their relationship? Probably not completely, but it was not far from it. Ming Hui mood immediately rose again, neglecting the fact that the content of the words was actually a threat.
However, deep down he began thinking about how to convey it to Soujin without the other party getting angry.
….
Kai Kingdom side
Seeing how the originally running soldiers were starting to fight back with such fervor, Prince Mou face turned dark. He knew that the worst possible situation had risen; Soujin have returned.
Still, the outcome of the obviously win battle had been disastrous. He thought he could definitely win, but with a short word from Soujin, the soldier was 10 times more energized than before. They were all fighting like their life was on the line and Kai Kingdom soldiers immediately pushed back further than ever.
Not to mention the prowess of the general itself. The number of their dying soldiers shot up rapidly the moment he appeared.
Fifth prince expression was solemn. He has heard about the amazing prowess of Soujin, but seeing it firsthand makes him realized that the other party was not only amazing, he was simply a monster.
"The death of Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother is not without a cause."
Facing that kind of monster, how many number of soldiers should they dispatch to surround him and overcome him? Even he cannot believe that a person that young can be this young.
"If Jun Min is here, Ming Kingdom will be unbeatable."
The words of General Wei rang again in his ear. No wonder that general once said that with the two of them fighting together, the loss of their soldiers were too disastrous. Only by seeing did he came to understand.
He turned to the side. The originally sitting general was now standing up with heated gaze. His body seemed brimming with energy as he stared at the young general in the midst of the battle.
"Time for another fight, you brat," he said while grinning all over.
