<h4>210 A Good Start for Ming Kingdom</h4>


    Nanglong Family Territory


    Commanding his soldier, Soujin looked towards the soldiers from Kai Kingdom. They had not skimped on their resources and immediately sent a lot of their soldier to this ce. For Soujin, that was a good thing because he would fully suppress them.


    Lou was still staying hidden, but he was ready to march onwards. He can''t wait to march into the battle and apany Soujin in the fight once more. However, Soujin has a different idea for him.


    "Lou, take care of that girl."


    Startled, Lou can only obey the order. He disappeared once again and looked around the soldier to find the littless.


    Among the soldier, Fan Lanying was quite conspicuous. The reason was because she was a girl and didn''t really hide it since she cannot do it. But none of the soldiers dared to take advantage of her since Soujin would personally kill them if they dare to do it.


    Who want to end their own life by doing something so foolish?


    Looking at the enemy soldiers, Fan Lanying felt her blood boiled. This was the first time she would go to war like her dream. Seeing therge number of soldiers, she felt that she was excited yet scared at the same time.


    "I will surpass you brother."


    When she was small, she loved to follow her brother to the training room and practice with him. Even if their father originally didn''t want her toe, she still slipped in and practiced.


    She could remember all of the training she had. Still, real battle and training were different. This battle will be hard for her.


    Then, Fan Lanying remembered Ming Hui and hisplicated gaze when she told him that she wanted to go to the battle. He didn''t say anything, but his eyes were telling her:


    ''I don''t want your hand to be stained by blood.''


    Fan Lanying knew that he didn''t want her to get hurt, but he still supported her and let her came here. For her, that was more than enough. As for staining her hand with blood, what kind of people didn''t do it? Even women can do it just by using their mouth.


    She only knew that and saw it for herself, but she never did that. For her, it was better to do it the direct way and didn''t scheme against other. Her mother was worried about her because of that, but luckily, she didn''t need to scheme when being with Ming Hui.


    "I will return safely."


    The next day, the battle started. Fan Lanying was only a foot soldier, so she was included inside the mass of the soldiers. Marching towards the enemy was a feeling that she can never forget.


    The harsh atmosphere, the heavy scent of metallic tang from blood, and the view of people dying in front of her, all of it was a new thing for her. Despite her having seen her father fighting, she was staying far away from the actual battlefield. Now that she was standing right in front of them, she felt that her body had turned cold from fear.


    "Miss Lanying, you have to move."


    That voice woke her up. Looking around her, she found a man was holding a sword and looking at her with concern. She remembered him as the guard for Soujin. It seemed that man had specifically sent someone to protect her in this battle.


    Fan Lanying wanted to run away from this horrible scene, but when she remembered her brother and her family, her hands tighten hard on her dagger. Jun Hua had left to the Mountain Kingdom. She might not have any chance to meet with her again if she just stayed inside. And it was always her dream to fight alongside her brother and father. She can''t just give up like that.


    Looking forward, Fan Lanying nodded. "Thank you."


    With the new resolution, Fan Lanying raised her dagger and marched towards the enemies.


    Lou sighed in relieved. At least the little girl was not a weak bunny but a strong girl.


    …


    General Wei was obviously happy to exchange blows with Soujin again. He had been preparing for the battle for a long time. But when he finally crossed the de with Soujin, he realized that the boy was also no longer the same from before. He had grown even more terrifying.


    At their fight, he had to struggle to gain the advantage and on their second day of fighting, he had gotten hurt. Luckily, an arrow saved him from Soujin barrage.


    "You still use such petty tricks?" Soujin defended against the arrow perfectly. This arrow and General Wei had instantly reminded him of that little boy who had fight with him and match his fight perfectly.


    He won''t fall for the same petty trick anymore.


    General Weiughed dryly. "It seems our fight cannot be continued any longer."


    Soujin narrowed his eyes. The wound on General Wei body was not light and if they continue to fight, he would guarantee a victory and probably even killed the other party. Unfortunately, Soujin didn''t want this to be theirst fight, and he too didn''t wish for the fight to end so quickly.


    It would be too easy for the emperor if the threat from Kai Kingdom were to disappear just like that. However, he didn''t show his true thoughts.


    "If you don''t continue the fight, I will chase after that fifth prince."


    General Wei shook his head lightly. With the emperor had specifically warned him about not losing anymore of the princes, how can he let Soujin harm that prince? Not to mention that the prince was more skilled in archery and he was the one who save his life just now.


    "I can''t do that," General Wei said lightly.


    Soujin raised his sword. "Then you should either battle with me or renounce your losses."


    General Wei knew that against Soujin, he almost didn''t have any chance to win. The other party skill has grown too much and even his soldiers were not one to be easily defeated.


    "Then we will retreat."


    The first battle of Ming Kingdom against the Kai Kingdom ended with Ming Kingdom victory, but Kai Kingdom didn''t stay idle as they march towards the north border of Ming Kingdom, trying to gain their win from there.


    As for Soujin, he didn''t care about that as he was busy strengthening his territory when another news came to him, telling him the result from a different battle not far from his.
