Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 57: First Attemp

Among the woods, Lin Hong hands trembled as he fired the arrow towards Lin Kang. He had seen the perilous situation Jun Min is, and he uses the change. He hurriedly returned, not bothered about the result at all as he wants to report to his father in front of the nobles how the young general is being ambushed.

"Father!" Lin Hong called his father.

"Ling Hong, what is the matter?" Lin Tang has been talking with the other nobles. He looks towards his son with question. Why had he bothered him at this moment? Doesn't he know that his father is busy talking with other people?

"Young General Jun is being ambushed!" Lin Hong answered. He had purposely run quite slowly so that Jun Min can fight with them alone. He wants to know how that general face off seven assassins alone while protecting Lin Kang. Even if he's still alive, his reputation will be sullied because he let a person wounded under his watch.

"What?" Lin Tang is surprised. No matter how much he hates Lin Kang for being weak, he's still his son. If he lets his son died without care, other people would come pointing at his face and cursed him. For the sake of his reputation, Lin Tang needs to put off a performance. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

By the side, the other nobles have known that one of Lin Tang son is hunting with Jun Min. If Jun Min is ambushed by assassins, how is the condition of his son?

Lin Tang wore the face of a worried father. "Lead me there!"

"Yes father!"

Among their group, the emperor is also there. He wore a complicated face. Some of his feeling hoped that the boy would die, but the other part doesn't. He had been discussing this matter with his minister and finally decides to let him alive to help him with a certain plan. Now that this happened, the emperor is still in dilemma whether he should help him or not.

Finally, he chooses to look towards the representative.

"Representative Han, there is something unexpected happened. It's better if I look first."

Representative Han nodded and without the emperor noticed, there is cold glint in his eyes. Both of them use their horses to follow the boy to the place where he sees Jun Min had been ambushed.

Lin Tang followed after Lin Hong to the place. Deep down he just want to end this farce as soon as possible. But when they arrived at the place, a scene they would never forget comes to their vision. The thick smell of blood permeates their nose and caused them to furrow their brows and after they come near, all of them nearly vomited. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

A boy is standing on the pool of blood. His robe is dyed red, but his handsome face is still clean. His clear and cold eyes are looking towards the enemies who had been cut down. On his back is a child who's still standing with eyes closed standing calmly as if there's nothing happened. The boy clothes are also clean without any stain of blood.

They hear the boy said in weak voice, "Is it over?"

"Yes it is, but you're still not allowed to open your eyes," Jun Hua answered. He looks towards the people who come there.

"Apologize for this subject appearance. There's a battle here just now."

All of them could clearly see there are still some traces of the battle. Not to mention that the ground is fully dyed red from the battle. Lin Hong has been scared silly and he didn't dare to do anything.

'It's over! He must have seen me firing that arrow!'

Jun Hua didn't bother with them and she washed her hands in the river. She cannot wash her clothes since it might expose her gender. With her clean hand, she helped the boy to mount up on the horse. Lin Kang eyes are still closed because Jun Hua doesn't want the boy to see this scene.

The nobles have been throwing up on the side and retreated on their own. Even the emperor hadn't expected to see such a scene when he arrived. He had heard about the skill of Jun Min but to actually survive under the ambush of 7 people while protecting a boy, he's truly something.

Representative Han looks towards the scene calmly. It's as if he has been used with that scene and it didn't bother him in the slightest.

"Representative Han, I will return first."

The emperor wants to throw up too, but he didn't want to lose face in front of that person. Representative Han only nodded as the emperor also retreated.

Jun Hua handed the horse with Lin Kang on top of it to Lin Tang.

"You can bring him back, I'm sorry that I can't continue to bring him along."

"It's alright. Thank you very much," Lin Tang answered with stutter. He didn't expect that the young general would be this powerful. Now that Lin Kang is in his hand again, he had to protect him or else people would ask what had happened.

Jun Hua didn't bother with the retreating nobles as she turned towards the wolves corpses. As they hurriedly return back, only Representative Han is still there.

Jun Hua raised her eyebrows towards the man. "Ming Hui, are you going to stand there the whole day?"

Representative Han or Ming Hui laughed when she heard Jun Hua inquire. "As I thought, you have already noticed my identity."

"There is no way a normal man would walk like you," Jun Hua retorted.

Ming Hui smiled. Then she pointed towards the wolves. "Did you kill the wolves at the same time with the ambush?"

"It's before them. You should return first. Your brother will be worried about you."

"He won't," Ming Hui answer with ease. "You should be careful, the people who sent the assassins must be someone powerful. These assassins are unordinary."

"I already know who they are," Jun Hua sits on the clean ground and tears up her sleeve. There is a deep mark of an arrow there.

"You have been shot?" Ming Hui eyes widened. To kill those men with a wounded arm…Just how extraordinary is he?

"There is a person plotting to kill Lin Kang. I need to protect the boy," Jun Hua answered.

"But you shouldn't sacrifice your arm like that," Ming Hui said.

"An arm for a life is worth it and it's not like I become a disabled person," Jun Hua smiled. "I only need to limit the use of my left arm, but for that person? By tomorrow he will be someone despised by the world."

Seeing the cold glint on Jun Hua eyes, Ming Hui knows that the ending of that person won't be good. Seeing that Jun Hua is adamant for her to leave, Ming Hui retreated back wondering what her brother reaction would be if he knows about this.
