Flowers Bloom from Battlefield - 339 Talk

After a long dinner, Qin Shie and Nanglong Souka returned first. As for Soujin, he still stayed within the residence and accompanied Jun Hua walked through the garden to digest the food.

He looked towards the girl beside him. He still found it hard to imagine that the Jun Min he always fought with and all was in fact a girl. Moreover, she was the girl whom he fancied. He remembered that he told Yan that there was no girl like Jun Hua and he felt that it was completely true. There was only one girl who can make him feel like this.

“Hua’er,” Soujin way of calling made Jun Hua startled, but she responded to him by looking back, “Have you planned out about your identity from little?”

Did she plan it out? Jun Hua was still more or less an innocent kid when she was small. Although in some case she already thought like an adult, she couldn’t think that further to the future. Many of the original plans she had were changed due to the situation. After all, she didn’t know how the future would be.

“No, when I’m a kid, I don’t know that a girl cannot join the army,” Jun Hua shrugged, “The idea of changing my identity is my mother and grandfather idea.”

“I see.”

“What about you? Have you made the plan since young?” Jun Hua had heard about his part of story when he was young. At that time, the young Soujin already have the determination to overthrow the emperor despite being only 8-9 years old.

“If you’re talking about the detailed plan, the answer is no,” Soujin only has the rough plan of what he was going to do. If he didn’t meet with Jun Hua at that time, the plan would be very different compared with the condition at this time. After all, he didn’t have the plan to separate himself from the Ming Kingdom previously.

“What is your original plan?”

“Take the power from the emperor slowly,” Soujin answered. If he wanted to attack frontally, he could have asked his spies to infiltrate and killed the emperor. However, before that, he needed to prepare himself fully, which made him delay for a long time.

Just overthrowing that person can be done at almost any time since a few years ago. The problem was the court and the kingdom. At that time, Yan was still unsuitable to become the next emperor and his image was so poor because of their scheme. The name of Young Noble Han has just started to flourish.

Besides, the other two brothers were dominating the court. Should something happen to the Emperor at that time, the one who has the higher chance to succeed the throne would be either one of them. The other two was practically disregarded while the other one still posed as a girl.

“That was a less extreme method compared with mine,” Jun Hua nodded her head.

“Well, girls tend to be more reckless.”

“…Who are you comparing me with?”

Soujin didn’t want to answer her, so he pulled her close to him. Jun Hua glared at him, rendering him unable to do what he actually wanted to. Raising his hand, he caressed the girl hair softly as he enjoyed the feeling of the touch.

“Can’t you wait until next month?” Jun Hua was speechless. The normal custom would be man and women were not allowed to get close with each other. Although the restriction in this era was slightly lower, they were still not supposed to get this close.

Soujin sighed. If not because of his mother, they were going to get married in the next few days. Although he was a bit impatient, he can wait for it.

Jun Hua peered towards Soujin’s face. In any case, this man already sent the betrothal gifts many days ago. She had seen the list, and she genuinely felt a headache at how long it was. Not to mention that because of the amount, there were a lot of people talking about them. In the end, most of them went to the storage room as she only picked up things that she needed.

Luckily, she didn’t have to do the work by herself as the servants would gladly do it for her.

“What is your plan in the future?” Soujin actually wanted to confine her inside, so there will be no one that can see her real countenance. But, he didn’t want her to suppress her brilliance too as she was genuinely really beautiful when she was outside and shined in her own unique way.

“Live peacefully and do slight work as the strategist,” Jun Hua sighed to herself. Because she was away from the Mountain Kingdom, she could only manage some of the work they send here. As for the rest of the work, her uncle was the one who did it.

“Do you want to return to the battlefield?”

“No,” Jun Hua answered firmly. She had long abandoned the thought of returning to the battlefield. Ever since she ‘killed’ her other identity, she didn’t want to hold the sword on the frontline anymore. Maybe occasionally was fine, but she wanted to experience the life she had previously lost due to her circumstances.

With the new kingdom stood, there might be some protest in certain areas and they couldn’t guarantee entire peace until the condition stabilized. Her power would still be needed, so she knew that she couldn’t abandon her position anytime soon. However, she was still not allowed to use her martial arts.

“But, I will still return when it’s needed.”

“If you need a female general, that lass Fan Lanying should be enough.”

Jun Hua was stunned. In any case, Fan Lanying was not a general yet. It will still take her a few more years to achieve the rank of a general. After all, the weight of a general far surpassed that of a commander.

“She is not qualified yet. Though her brother might become a general in a year or two,” Jun Hua said her thoughts.

Soujin looked towards Jun Hua, “I think you’re better off as a minister in the palace given your ability.”

“No thank you, you can be my messenger in this case,” Jun Hua grinned playfully.

“Sure, but I will demand payment.”

“What kind of payment?”

“This one,” Soujin leaned in and planted a kiss on Jun Hua forehead, stunning the lady.

Jun Hua’s face turned red and she looked away, refusing to meet with Soujin’s eyes. Though in this man eyes, her action just made her even cuter.

On the shadow, both Lou and Yamin silently agreed to not look towards their masters. They were looking towards the other side and retreat a few steps. Their face was stoic. It was as if they didn’t know that there were two people flirting with each other near them.
