Chapter 283: Misunderstanding
283 Misunderstanding
Not long after Soujin's soldiers managed to break through the border, Mountain Kingdom's soldiers also did the same. Because the two walls have fallen, the soldiers of Kai Kingdom were in disarray and they needed to do their best to save the situation.
Many citizens hid in their house. Jun Hua had strictly ordered not to touch any of them. She didn't want to raid any cities she conquered.
"Princess Hua, General Soujin is in the palace."
"I understand."
Jun Hua looked around. She noticed that Yan was ordering the soldiers to let the people go. He arranged some of the soldiers to let them not feel threatened by their presence. Even under the rain, he still stood proudly and orders the soldiers.
Walking into the palace, there were a lot of servants already run away. It was weird since the officials were running later than them, but Jun Hua didn't linger on the place. She continued her step into the palace and stopped at one point.
In front of her, at a few dozen meters distance, were two people talking. Jun Hua didn't know what they were talking about, but she felt uneasy. Should she walk there to hear them? She felt that she shouldn't do it and stood rooted on her place.
A few seconds later, she turned around. Yan was walking towards her with a confused expression.
"What is it, Princess Hua? Don't you want to get inside and hear the report?"
Jun Hua shook her head. "You can go on first, Prince Yan. I will head in later."
After that, Jun Hua walked down the steps. Even under the rain, Yan could see the girl's silhouette clearly. She was really pretty was what he thought. Walking a few steps ahead, he finally realized what made Jun Hua walked back.
His heart rocked heavily when he noticed the two of them were going to be separated if this continued on. Only the heaven knew how many times that man already hoping to see the other party this past year. But, it seemed not only him, but the girl was also feeling the same way.
These two were really troublesome.
"Princess Hua!"
Jun Hua stopped on her tracks. "What is it, Prince Yan?"
"It's not like what you're thinking. You should get inside and hear for yourself what they are talking about," Yan hastily said. He felt that the two of them were really troublesome. Why didn't she just get in and heard the conversation herself if she felt uneasy about it?
"I don't want to disturb them," Jun Hua answered calmly.
Not knowing why, when Yan looked at that clear eyes and petite figure, he felt that his heart went soft. If only the girl didn't have her heart set, he would undoubtedly pursue her.
"Why don't you forget about him, then? There are more people who want to be with you than you think," Yan asked.
Jun Hua stared at the man's expression blankly and shook her head slowly. "I can't, Prince Yan. I'm sorry."
Yan didn't know what he could say to the girl anymore. He watched as the girl walked away in the midst of rain. Under the heavy downpour, the girl disappeared from his sight. He felt really helpless about the situation as he couldn't do anything. He turned his attention back to the palace where the two of them were still engaging in conversation.
He could feel his heart being crushed into pieces, but he still walked inside the hall to give his friend a good bashing. For the first time in his life, his role and Soujin's were switched.
He was about to interrupt them when he saw Tian Ni was crying even louder to Soujin. Stumped in his place, he couldn't bring himself to move anymore.
Soujin ignored Yan's presence and looked towards the woman. "You can't change anything by crying. Guards, take her away."
Tian Ni didn't want to accept things like this. It was true that she did not love him anymore, but she didn't want to be detained. If she stayed here, she couldn't do her revenge towards the man whom she previously adored, but now hated to the core.
Taking the dagger out, she leaped towards Soujin only to be stopped by another man. The dagger was tossed away and Tian Ni struggled hard to get out from the man clutches.
"Originally, I want to spare your life in regards to our childhood," Soujin started. "But, it seems you don't even treasure your life."
Lou moved near the two of them and his sword slashed down, killing Tian Ni in but a second. Soujin looked at the girl coldly. She may look harmless on the outside, but he knew just how complicated the Tian family in reality was. They were bringing him too much trouble all these years.
Only after finishing everything did he turn towards Yan.
"What is it? Have you finished the work outside?" Soujin asked.
Yan shook his head. "It's not that. If you're serious about Jun Hua, you better chase after her."
The only name that could shake the powerful general was Jun Hua. Soujin looked towards Yan with frown and subconsciously emitted his killing aura. In front of him, Yan felt stifled since this time he didn't do anything wrong.
However, he knew that his friend was dense on this matter and it would be better if he told him. If not, the problem may drag out for who knew how long. He didn't wish for his friend to have a long time chasing after the girl in the future.
"She sees you."
That one sentence makes Soujin understood what Yan wanted to convey. The girl was here just now, and she saw him talking with Tian Ni. In the Ming Kingdom, people would talk about them being a good pair. He was sure that she might have a wrong idea.
Running outside in hurry, he left the speechless Yan on the spot. Yan stared at the disappearing figure of Soujin and shook his head with a sour expression.
"If only you don't chase after her, I will be the one to do it."
Soujin quickly found Jun Hua standing under the rain. Despite being drenched, she was still looking calm and composed. The clothes she was wearing today was a blue robe, a thick one like what the guys used to wear. Because of that, her inner clothes couldn't be seen despite it being wet.
Jun Hua turned around when Soujin came. She was confused, why would he come here when he should have been with Tian Ni?
"Jun Hua, are you alright standing under the rain like this?"
"I should be fine," Jun Hua answered. She had practiced martial arts, and her body was strong, she shouldn't get sick that easily. However, she did feel a bit dizzy right now.
"Let's return back," Soujin didn't know how to explain the situation from before. He felt really awkward, but if he wanted to explain, one of them needed to start it.
Jun Hua thought for a few seconds. "Why did you come?"
"I have taken care of her. She won't bother anyone anymore," Soujin answered.
"Why?" Jun Hua asked back.
Soujin smiled slightly, "Didn't I say I would only wait for you? Did you trust me so little?"
"I didn't…" Jun Hua turned around hurriedly, which made her head turn even dizzier. Her steps turned uneven, and Soujin hurriedly caught the girl. He was startled at the girl's temperature.
"You're burning fever," Soujin looked at the unconscious girl. When she fell down, it seemed that she also fell unconscious. He turned around and yelled. "Lou! Prepare a room, now!"
