Chapter 273: Declaration of War
273 Declaration of War
Nanglong family territory
Yan looked towards the other two with a sulky face. "Why don't you tell me sooner that Ming Hui already found the person? I spend hours just to search for him!"
Soujin himself also took some hours, but he quickly met with Ming Hui which made him aware of the news. On the side, Ming Hui could only grin sheepishly. It was not his intention to find that girl faster than them, it was only coincidence.
Ming Hui narrated the story he had prepared beforehand and told them the kind of collaboration they would have with the Mountain Kingdom. Hearing the terms Ming Hui said, the other two went silent for a moment to think.
"It seemed that we are latching into a big opponent too," Yan smiled wryly. With the term as Ming Hui said, it was safe to say that they wouldn't be able to release themselves from the other party easily.
Ming Hui grinned. "Didn't Soujin want to meet with that lass too?"
"Prepare for the war. It won't take too long before the new emperor declares war."
"Got it," Ming Hui and Yan nodded.

Mountain Kingdom
Jun Hua safely returned to the capital sneakily. She managed to escape from her own people supervision and sneaked to the palace. It didn't take long for her to arrive in the palace where her family stayed. Her grandfather was in the living room, reviewing document. Jun Hua chose to get inside the room to meet with her grandfather silently.
"Grandpa, I'm home," Jun Hua smiled broadly.
Jun Zhenxian almost dropped the paper on his hand. He looked towards his granddaughter and hurriedly walked to her side. "Hua'er! Why don't you tell us when you're arriving?"
"I did, just now."
The one he meant was when she was on the journey to the capital. Not a single news could be heard from the people here about the arrival of Jun Hua even though it was supposed to take several days. Patting his granddaughter's head, he sighed.
"Do you use your martial arts again in the Kai Kingdom?"
Hearing that question, Jun Hua stilled. She looked towards her grandfather for a moment before nodding her head slightly, admitting to his claim.
Jun Zhenxian's face turned black. "You brat, do you forget that you're not allowed to use the martial arts again after that incident with Lan Pan?"
Jun Hua scratched her head. Without that martial art, she would not succeed in her plan. Although her plan was only using them a bit, she unconsciously overexerted herself.
"Do you forget the doctor's instruction, Jun Hua?"
"I remember," Jun Hua answered promptly. "I won't participate in the frontline anymore, so I won't use that martial art again."
Jun Zhenxian looked towards Jun Hua suspiciously. This little brat really didn't join the battle, but she used the martial art to fight again. No matter how many times he reminded her, she still didn't listen to him.
How he wished she would be an obedient little girl.
Jun Hua chose to change the conversation. "How's the business, Grandpa?"
"It's going well, Hua'er. There will be another income for us in the future, and you can rest assured that I have allocated the fund for a lot of things."
Jun Hua smiled, she proceeded to give praise to her grandfather. "I know that you will do everything well, Grandpa. You're the best when it came to managing our family economy."
Jun Zhenxian laughed. Their Jun family might only be seen as a military family on the outside, but in truth they are having a good grasp in term of economy. A lot of stores belonged to them and the fortune they get, they would use it to fund their military training and equipment for war. That was the real secret force of Jun family years ago.
After Jun Hua came, she upgraded their force into a secret force under her. The secret force that could even obliterate a whole army with several people, Jun Hua included in them, though.
"Oh right, where are the kids that I send to this territory?" Jun Hua suddenly remembered He Zhou and the others. She wondered what her grandfather assigned them to.
"I already send them to a small city near the border with Yuan Kingdom. If you want to meet with them, I can arrange the transportation."
Jun Hua shook her head lightly, "there is no need for that. The war is going to start again soon, and I don't have much leisure time to spend on other things."
"I don't think you need to work that much. You can split the work with other people," Jun Zhenxian suggested. He worried that his granddaughter was going to work until she was worn out. That wouldn't end in a good note.
"I want to. There is not much I have to do now that I don't hold the sword at the front line anymore," Jun Hua retorted.
The decision to not hold the sword again was made because of your own scheme, right?Jun Zhenxian examined his granddaughter face for a moment before nodding his head, albeit feeling a little unwilling.
"You can, but you have to take care of your health too."
"Don't worry Grandpa," Jun Hua grinned. "Has the preparation done?"
"Yes, we only need the order."
"Good, assemble them on the border. The war will start."

Kai Kingdom
21 days after the assassination of the imperial family: the new emperor of Kai Kingdom was crowned.
26 days after the assassination of the imperial family
Emperor Mou sat on his throne with a satisfied expression. After holding back the ceremony to crown him as the emperor to marry with Tian Ni, he finally got this throne. He looked towards the lady by his side.
"Are you ready with declaring the war against Ming Kingdom?"
Tian Ni wore a beautiful dress as she sat near the throne. With the ruckus in her residence previously, her family decided to make her marry as fast as possible, so she managed to become the empress right now.
When the emperor passed her that question, she no longer has many qualms to go to war against Ming Kingdom.
"Sure, I want to see the end of that kingdom."
Emperor Mou nodded his head, "I hereby declare the war against Ming Kingdom!"
