Chapter 367: Battle
367 Battle
Because of Ming Hui's suggestion, the two men headed towards the training hall and took their position on each side of the hall. Jun Hua and Xiao Meng stayed behind with Ming Hui on the other side of the training hall, acting as the referee should they need it.
Xiao Meng peered at Jun Hua's expression curiously, "You don't seem to worry about your husband."
"There is nothing I need to worry about," Jun Hua answered.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Of course it will be Soujin."
"Why are you so sure?" Xiao Meng found this little lady's confidence to be rather amazing. Tang Xuan's martial art was not low in any case. His appearance may be that of a scholar, but he was also a very talented martial artist. Even if Soujin has good martial arts ability, there should be a possibility of him losing, right?
Jun Hua leaned back slightly, "I have fought with Tang Xuan once in the past and his martial ability is more or less the same with me. Compared with Soujin, my martial ability is still below him, so I know that Soujin won't lose."
Xiao Meng gaped at Jun Hua's answer before calming herself down. From what Jun Hua told her, she came to know that this seemingly harmless little lady was someone powerful in martial art too. If she didn't tell her, probably this princess would never think about it.
Jun Hua smiled, "Do I not look like someone strong?"
"That's not it. It's just unexpected," Xiao Meng answered in all honesty. In any case, she was pretty sure that Jun Hua was someone with petite body. She truly couldn't imagine this small body held that much strength behind it.
"Don't underestimate her," Yan walked towards their place with Shu following after him. He had only be able to finish his work and got some break today. Of course, Shu had to exert a bit more pressure on him to make him managed to finish his work in time. "If not because of her current condition, I won't be able to sleep in peace."
"I'm pretty sure that I still can beat you in other areas," Jun Hua smirked.
Seeing that smile, Yan painfully remembered how he lost very badly to Jun Hua in chess. Well, he already knew that she was smart too, so he should just accept the fact that he could never win against her. Towards Jun Hua, he acknowledged that he wouldn't win, but towards other girls, they would never have a chance to defeat him!
When they were talking, the battle between Soujin and Tang Xuan officially started. The two of them moved at the same time and attacked the other party. With the sword on the air and their rapid movement, the two clashed heavily in the middle.
CLANG! CLANG!
From the side, Ming Hui watched the battle from quite a distance. In any case, he didn't want to die yet, so he didn't dare to get closer to the two in case he got wounded accidentally.
Jun Hua's prediction came true as Soujin's ability have indeed far surpassed Tang Xuan. With this young general training for almost every day, his strength already far surpasses Jun Hua at this time. Jun Hua hadn't practiced for a long time already because of her reckless way of training in her youth and her current condition, so she knew that she might not be a match for the current two of them.
'I will start my training again after I have given birth,' Jun Hua thought secretly to herself. Her right hand was holding her stomach lightly, caressing the life that was beneath her stomach. She wouldn't want to put her child in danger, so she would be patient.
Soujin put his sword to the side, "You are quite powerful, Prince Tang Xuan."
Tang Xuan nodded his head and sheathed his sword back. He knew that he was not a match for the young general before him. It was not like he came here to fight with him too since it was only a side thing he did because of a small problem.
"Let's continue with the talk. I'm pretty sure your emperor was eager for that."
"Before you talk about the negotiation, I think it would be better to separate your precious princess from our emperor," Soujin pointed to the back where Yan was talking with Xiao Meng while Jun Hua walked to their direction.
Tang Xuan smiled wryly. He had heard that this emperor was a playboy during his time as prince. Does it mean Xiao Meng was in danger? He swiftly came over to the princess's side and engaged to talk with the emperor.
Jun Hua looked towards the three of them with curiosity, "What did you tell him to make him move that fast?"
"Just something obvious," Soujin arched his eyebrows and pulled the girl to his embrace, "Do you feel tired? We can return to the residence if you feel unwell?"
"… I'm fine," Jun Hua snuggled in his embrace, accepting his warmth, "Do you really think that I can't do anything?"
"I'm just worried."
Having a child was a big hurdle for women. When they were about to deliver, they would be placed between the door of the life and death. Even if she is a martial artist, he knew that the danger was still there.
"I will be fine," Jun Hua said calmly. "Let's just finish the matter with the trade as fast as possible and inquire about the battle for the throne in their kingdom."
Should the one ascend to the throne was someone who didn't acknowledge the trade, this will become a big problem for them. After all, the main income for the area in the Yuan Kingdom was the trade. In order to ensure everything will go smoothly, they should prepare everything fully.
Soujin nodded his head, "I will send people to investigate them. For now, let's leave Yan to handle the talk with Tang Xuan."
"That would be a good idea. I'm already feeling tired here."
With that, Soujin and Jun Hua returned back to their residence, leaving Ming Yan facing the two people in front of him and handled the discussion. Ming Hui helped a little bit, but had other matter to do, so in the end, Ming Yan had to do it by himself.
