Flowers Bloom from Battlefield 393 Leader

Ming Hui looked at the group of officials in front of him with a slightly tired expression. He felt that the waves from the rebels would not end when they finally managed to drive most of them back. Only some of them left, but he and the others officials were all dead tired from their work these past few weeks.

“The matter was almost finished, good work, everyone,” he said amiably, putting a smile out of his tired face.

The officials have a smile plastered on their face. After weeks of working nonstop, they have finally finished everything. They really wanted to have a good night sleep. For now, that would be the best reward they could get.

Seeing their expression, Ming Hui smiled and waved his hand, dismissing them. “You can all have a rest. There won’t be any meeting tomorrow.”

That was the best news they have heard ever since the rebels happen. It was only, after all, the officials went did Ming Hui sat down on his chair. He slumped down on his chair, the total opposite to the strong figure he showed just before. He felt the most tired since he basically had mountains of works yet he still tried to pose as a good leader.

As someone who has been used to work behind the scene, posing as the leader was very tiresome for him. He truly wanted to stay at the back and not do all of these works.

“That Soujin… he should be the one who was sent here,” he muttered in displeasure. Although he knew that it would be tiring, this was the first time he truly experienced it for himself.

“Your Highness?” a knock was heard.

Ming Hui was already familiar with that knock, so he didn’t bother to straighten his position and merely answered, “You can come in, Commander Fan Ying.”

With a slight push, the door was opened and a young man came in. He was still wearing his body armor, which was dirty, but Ming Hui didn’t mind it. With their condition not long ago, it was already good enough that the other party was alive and didn’t suffer a lot of loss.

“How’s the battle?”

“We have managed to secure their base,” Fan Ying answered, “But most of them were killed since they fight back violently. Only a few of them could be taken back alive.”

Ming Hui nodded, “I will let it up to you to handle them. Try to get as much information as you can from them.”

“Yes Your Highness,” Fan Ying answered, but he didn’t only have one thing he needed to say, “Prince Soujin would arrive at this city tomorrow. There is a messenger telling you to prepare for his coming with a moderate welcome since there are Princess Meng and Tang Xuan.”

Ming Hui’s face paled at that news. Just when he thought he could have a rest, the other party had to send such news to him. He groaned at the thought of getting up from here and prepared everything to welcome the other party.

“Wait, what is Soujin doing here?” Ming Hui recalled that Jun Hua was pregnant. Why did her husband suddenly show up here?

“He was chosen to become Long Kingdom representative to the Gu Yue Kingdom, so he came here.”

“No, not that, I want to know about his wife.”

“Princess Hua has given birth to a son and currently in her confinement period,” Fan Ying answered. As Jun Hua’s soldier, he received news about things faster compared with other places, so he knew about the matter quickly enough.

Ming Hui tapped the chair. So it seemed he had missed the time to see his best friend son. Never mind, he could return back to the capital after this.

“Fan Ying, do you still have the energy to run on the street?”

Fan Ying looked at Ming Hui doubtfully. He was a soldier, who had once experience the hellish training under Jun Hua, so now his condition was much better compared with the other party. However, he felt something bad would happen if he were to say yes.

“Please handle the preparation to welcome Soujin and his group.”

“…” I should have known that this job would fall to me. With resigned feeling, Fan Ying could only move his feet and got out of the place to work once again.

…

Lin Hong continuously read about the culture in the Gu Yue Kingdom on the journey. He didn’t want to become a disgrace for the Long Kingdom by not representing their country well. Although the main representative was Soujin, he still tried to work harder.

Soujin was rather bored during the journey. He was not one who liked journeying inside the carriage, so he chose to ride a horse on many occasions. While also practicing his skill, he could ease his boredom for having such a long journey.

As for the learning, he had memorized them all. With his capability, remembering those little rules were nothing for him.

“Prince Soujin, we will soon enter the capital. It would be better if you return to your carriage,” Tang Xuan said.

Soujin pointed to the other party horse, “You’re also riding a horse. There shouldn’t be any need for me to get inside the carriage.”

“I’m but a mere noble. I cannot be compared to someone like you,” Tang Xuan smiled.

“Even if you’re a noble, you’re also an important person,” Soujin said lightly. He looked straight to the front, “just guide the way, I prefer to stay on a horse rather than carriage.”

Tang Xuan could only comply. Since Soujin was a general, there was no way the other party would prefer the carriage over horse. After all, it was much freer on top of a horse rather than an exquisite carriage. If it was an ordinary person, he would surely choose the carriage.

Before long, their group arrived at the city and the citizen welcome them warmly. It was not a big welcome, but enough for them. After all, the matter in this city has just ended not too long ago. They quickly arrived at the palace where Ming Hui already waited for them.

“Welcome to Yuan Kingdom, Princess Meng, Noble Tang Xuan, and Prince Soujin.”

Soujin noticed the other party’s pale complexion, and he waved his hand, “There is no need for you to specifically welcome us. Just go and have a rest already.”

Princess Meng looked at Soujin with a weird expression, “It’s the duty of subordinate to welcome their master. You don’t have to be so rude to him.”

Hearing that, Ming Hui almost broke into a laugh. If this much was categorized as rude, then what about Soujin beat up their emperor? In any case, he didn’t feel offended since he already knew the other party for a long time. His personality was always like that, so there was no need to feel displeased.

“Since you said so, I will excuse myself,” Ming Hui longed for a rest, so this was the best he could ask from Soujin.

“It’s not rude, Princess Meng. There are still many things that you still don’t know about our kingdom,” Soujin answered lightly, “Shall we have a rest and go tomorrow?”

Xiao Meng nodded her head and soon headed towards her bedroom.
