Chapter 308: Soujin’s Plan
308 Soujin’s Plan
Soujin didn't ask Jun Hua about the arrow that she shot at all. He only rubbed her head slightly when he returned. His action made Jun Hua wondered whether he knew about her real identity or not. However, she didn't say anything and didn't explain her action too.
Honestly, Ming Hui felt really irritated at these two actions. If only Soujin asked, he would know that Jun Hua was Jun Min while Jun Hua should just explain it clearly. At this rate, the two of them would only prolong the truth.
Prince Ye Lei would build the same one every night and in the morning, Jun Hua would not hesitate to destroy it. If it was possible, she really wanted to plant an arrow to his head, but the distance was too far and he was protected by a lot of people.
"Xuan Pei is there," Ming Hui said when they reached the dawn of the seventh day.
Soujin nodded, "I know."
"Do you think they have killed the emperor?" Jun Hua asked.
"We can ask them," Soujin answered, "Wait for me here."
Jun Hua nodded and sat down as Soujin walked down to the army. From the side, Ming Hui sighed, "I really want to join the battle with Lanying."
Jun Hua giggled, "You can go with her."
"Soujin would protest if I leave you here alone," Ming Hui added.
"He won't. Just go, Doctor Hui."
Ming Hui thought about it before leaving and Jun Hua sat down on her place calmly. Waiting was really tiring and boring. She really wanted to hold the sword again and fight from the frontline. However, she knew that she couldn't.
Looking towards one of the sides, she smiled slightly. Yan has come.
On the Pan Kingdom headquarters, Ye Lei was watching the fight from there. He heard the commotion from behind him, but before he could do anything, he was knocked unconscious.
"Your Highness!" Xuan Pei immediately took his sword, but he was blocked by another person.
Yan smiled, "We meet again, Xuan Pei."
Crashing their sword together, the two of them fought as Shu tied up Ye Lei. The other soldiers were doing their job by cleaning up the rest of the soldiers and lighting the tent on fire to show that the headquarters had fallen.
"Prince Yan, it seemed you're indeed not an ordinary Prince," Xuan Pei thrust his sword to Yan.
Yan parried the attack as he moved to the side, "You're indeed sharp to find out about it when the others never suspect me at all."
Xuan Pei had to admit, he only found out when it was already too late. At that time, Yan already left the capital to Long Han city, and he couldn't send any spies there. It was at that moment did he realize that there was indeed someone strong from Ming Kingdom royal family.
After tying up Ye Lei, Shu joined the fight and captured Xuan Pei. Yan looked towards the battlefield. The Pan soldiers were giving up or running away since they know that they have lost. Without their leader, they were not willing to continue the battle. This fight was their win.
After the battle was over, the three gathered together again. At this time, Ming Hui really wanted to punch the arrogant face of Yan in front of him. Because of Soujin's instruction, he led the army secretly to circle the place until they came near the Pan Kingdom headquarters. Doing such an important job, Yan was extremely proud.
Jun Hua looked towards the map, "I bet you use this way to circle around the soldiers."
"How do you know?" Yan peered at the map and followed Jun Hua's finger moved across the map. She was really amazing to deduce it so correctly.
"Because only this way would take you a week," Jun Hua answered, "If you use this way, you can arrive in five days, or even this one…"
As Jun Hua gave the alternative ways for him, the arrogance expression on Yan disappeared slowly. It seemed that Soujin would instead beat him up for lagging behind too much. He thought that his work was already the best, but not even five minutes, Jun Hua's explanation crushed him.
Ming Hui tried his best to hold his laugh. He couldn't believe that Yan would get scolded by Jun Hua in such an elegant way. It seemed that Yan was not only beaten physically but also mentally by a girl. He really anticipated the moment Yan found out that Jun Min was a girl.
As the three of them talked, Soujin was interrogating Ye Lei.
Ye Lei looked towards Soujin face, "There is no use keeping me alive. Even the emperor is waiting for my death."
Soujin nodded, "I want to ask a few questions first."
"Ask away."
Soujin and Ye Lei talked. The way they talk was more similar to that of conversation rather than interrogating. It didn't take Soujin a long time before he got all the answer to the important question he asked.
Overall, he got the big picture of how Pan Kingdom situation in the court. As he had expected, the emperor wanted for his son to succeed, but the achievement of the other two princes was too much. As the result, he was trying all he could to make the two princes didn't achieve much.
Neither Ye Lei nor Ye Jiu has any good feeling for the emperor and their stupid cousin. However, the two of them also didn't have a good relationship as their way was completely different.
"You're surprisingly cooperative," Soujin commented after he had asked quite a lot.
Ye Lei flicked a glance. "I already know I won't live at the end of this. Why should I make things harder?"
"If you're that uncooperative like Xuan Pei, there are a lot of things I can ask."
"Xuan Pei is working under me and my uncle," Ye Lei said calmly. "He's loyal to the kingdom, while I'm just doing things as I like."
Soujin could see that. This prince before him didn't follow any kind of rules or anything whatsoever.
"That's all I need. Do you have any last word?"
Ye Lei looked towards Soujin, "See you in the next world."
"That is if we meet."
