FLOWERS BLOOM FROM BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 91: Dangerous Nigh



91 Dangerous Nigh

Kuina stared at the boy in front of him. The boy stature is small and aside from the sword hanging on his waist, he doesn't look dangerous. Why would General Hen say that this person is a talented general? The two of them are waiting inside the inn where Kuina feels that her patience is tested. Jun Min never once try to talk to her, it's as if she's not there.

"You're not much of a talker, are you?"

It's not Jun Min is not used to talk with people, but he doesn't feel right talking to Kuina because of his disguise as a man. If he starts to talk with her, he's afraid offending him from his talk.

"Is there anything you need, Princess Kuina?"

Kuina shakes her head. "It's not that… Hmm, I want to know what General Tou promised you."

Jun Min stared back for a moment. General Tou didn't say that he's not allowed to tell the princess, but the other party might think that he robbed them. In the end, she will need to know too, so Jun Min decides to tell her beforehand.

"Half of Mountain Kingdom."

"Are you serious?" Kuina stares blankly. Even when she noticed that Jun Min had nodded, she still can't believe that General Tou had promised something like that to a stranger. Splitting the territory of Mountain Kingdom is not a small matter. Even Kuina herself is not sure why that general would want to give that much to the other party.

Once again, Kuina tried to assess the person before her. He doesn't look strong, he's small, and he seems girly…. Forget it. She might offend him if she continues. Since General Tou held him in high regards, he should have some ability.

"Does General Tou cannot return?" Kuina asks.

"I don't know. He told me that he cannot return back and he needs to guard the border," Jun Min answered. Given that the Mountain Kingdom had surrender, there is no way his uncle going to break the promise. That is if what General Tou worried about is the possibility of Ming Kingdom attacking them.

But, from the conversation with his uncle before, Jun Min concluded that he just cannot return to the capital is because of his identity. After going through the examination to get in before, he knows that the guarding of the border had become really strict and it's hard to get in. Given his identity as a great general, many people would know his face and his arrival would surely alarm them.

Kuina nodded. "He just doesn't want our infiltration failed, that foolish general."

Jun Min is stunned. He would never expect that Kuina would ever call that old man as foolish. No matter what, he's still a great general who's highly respected by many people. Calling him foolish is truly out of question.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kuina looks annoyed. "General Tou is my uncle, at least partially."

"Partially?"

"Yes, when I'm small and the kingdom is under attack, I often stay with General Tou. Because of that he's already like my uncle."

"I see," Jun Min smiled. He wants to talk more, but he sensed several people coming towards this inn. Given their number and movement, he knows that they have practiced martial arts. His gaze turned sharp and he goes towards the window.

"Princess, do you know any of them?"

Kuina looks from behind Jun Min. "No, I don't."

"Prepare yourself. They might come to get you."

Jun Min headed outside with Kuina stand near the bed. She's afraid, why are they coming towards her again? Then again, she is the princess… she was the princess.

"Who are you looking for, Sir?" Jun Min asks politely, but his gaze is probing them.

"Ah, it's nothing sir. We are looking for a fair lady around the age of 20…" one of the men barely describes Princess Kuina. Jun Min listened carefully as the people around him also nodding. They didn't see Jun Min as a threat because of his small stature.

"Alone?"

"Yes, why?"

"Nothing," Jun Min smiled. "Who send you?"

"Who are you kid?" one of them finally realizes that Jun Min is not one of the passerby. He looks alarmed.

"I repeat once again, who send you?" this time, his tone commanding. Bloodthirsty aura emanated from his small body, making the people in front of him shivered.

"General Cao," one of the men blurted out, feeling afraid from the aura Jun Min emitted. He looks in disbelief at the boy in front of him.

"Thanks," Jun Min only said that one word before the men didn't know what happened and they're sent directly to meet their creator. He vanished even before the crowds could comprehend what had happened.

In a few seconds, he had returned back to the room.

"Princess Kuina, do you know General Cao?"

"General Cao?" Kuina racked her brain. "I remember, he's the one sent by Pan Kingdom to negotiate here."

"I see. It seems that general is hell bent on killing you," Jun Min said.

Before Kuina can ask what Jun Min means, she heard screams from outside of the inn. She was about to look from the window when Jun Min blocked her.

"You wouldn't want to see it."

Her eyes widen. "Did you the one who did it?"

"I am. They're looking for you. We need to move from here, your whereabouts has been found," Jun Min said.

"But General Hen might now know where we are."

Jun Min takes out his sword and slashed the wall forming a few words telling that they're leaving. With this, the enemies won't have the chance to erase it even if they want to.

We're leaving to the alley

"Are you sure that you want to tell them our whereabouts?" Kuina stared blankly. The process of writing in the wall didn't take Jun Min more than a few seconds. The young general is indeed really capable.

"I only said alley and didn't tell which one. Other than General Hen, they won't know our whereabouts. Let's go."

Jun Min put a few coins on the table as the payment for damaging the wall before walking to the door. Kuina nodded and followed behind Jun Min. This young man is quite dependable.
