Chapter 280: The Attack Begins

280 The Attack Begins

After enough talk with Fan Lanying, Jun Hua returned to the base with General Tou. The general also had a good time talking with Soujin. When they returned, the soldiers gave them the way to their tent.

"Don't you want to talk to General Soujin, Princess Hua?"

"I will talk to him later," Jun Hua answered. Her heart was actually feeling conflicted over what she wanted to talk with him.

"For the battle tomorrow, let's hope for the best."

The two of them returned for rest, each with their mind of how the battle tomorrow will start. Reaching their tent, Jun Hua quickly returned to her bed. She looked at the ceiling and smiled wryly. She wanted to ask him, but she felt afraid of the answer she might get from him. Due to her tired body, she fell asleep not long after reaching the bed.

"Miss, it's already morning," the next day, Xia was having trouble to wake her Miss up. Somehow, Jun Hua's body seemed to be reaching her limit.

Jun Hua opened her eyes. "I'm awake. Help me dress up, Xia."

"Miss, you should take care of your body better," Xia reminded her Miss.

"I know," Jun Hua said that as she stared outside. Her brows creased as she thought about their plan and how they would need to change it.

The plan they discussed the day before turned out to be useless. The weather was raining, and it would be hard for the battle to commence. However, Jun Hua still deployed her soldiers with General Tou led and started the attack towards the capital of Kai Kingdom.

Xia stood on the side when the commanders came to ask for Jun Hua's strategy. She felt rather helpless about her Miss stubborn attitude. What's more, she worried that Jun Hua would fell sick because her body was weakened considerably with her pushing herself for months.

"How do you wish for the attack today, Princess Hua?"

"Use the one we discussed yesterday. Deploy more for the climbing attempt," Jun Hua answered calmly.

"Understand Princess."

Jun Hua stood up and let the rain fell to her. The soldiers wanted to stop her, but she raised her hand. In this important battle, not even once she raised her sword and fight alongside her soldiers. All this time she was only directing from the back. Because of that, for today battle she wished to stand under the same weather with her soldiers.

"Princess…"

"Don't stop me. The men are fighting hard, why should I stay under the cover? I want to stand with them," Jun Hua answered.

She shouldn't have abandoned the identity of Jun Min if she still wished to fight with the soldiers. However, she didn't want to spend her life standing in front of the soldiers too. She wanted to have peace. After the revenge was over, it was the time for her to spend her life with her family and all.

Amidst the rain, she could hear the cheering of the soldiers from the faraway place. Looking at the other border of the city, a smile blossomed on her face.

"General Soujin manages to get into the city."

The ability of Soujin to break through the city first was within her calculation. With Soujin leading his soldiers in the front, how dare they slack off? The soldiers would surely do their best and gave it their all to allow the path for their general to get in.

Jun Hua knew that when she was leading at the front and leading at the back, there were some differences. The type of general she pursued before was the one that would boost her soldiers' morale from the frontline. It was the same type with Soujin which was why their soldiers have more motivation when they are the one leading.

"Since General Soujin led the war, we shouldn't lack behind too much."

"Yes Princess."

Jun Hua looked towards the wall before her. The gate would soon be opened too.

…

The Palace of Kai Kingdom

Looking at the dire situation, Emperor Mou felt enraged. The battle had lasted for a long time and he was sure that he could turn the situation around if only the officials follow his order. The problem right now was they were rebelling after him.

Ever since the incident with Prince You, they were looking at him with hidden contempt. Even if he didn't want to see it, he couldn't. Many of them scorned his decision of taking Tian Ni as his wife because of her conduct.

Tian Ni herself didn't feel any need to correct her conduct. She didn't do anything wrong in that room. All she did was only visiting the other party. Who would have thought that Prince You would die on the same day?

"How's the condition of the war?" he asked authoritatively.

One of the officials stood up. "The capital is surrounded, and it's unclear when they will reach the palace."

"Your Highness, for your safety, it's better to escape through the secret passage."

"Your Majesty, we all need to go."

The officials were all begging to him. They didn't want to lose their life, but they couldn't just get away from the palace unhurt. If they suddenly run away, the emperor would just send the soldiers to their house and finish them off.

Facing this dire situation, they could only turn back to the emperor and begs for his decision. Should the emperor escape, they too can escape using a different path.

Emperor Mou looked towards the officials in front of him. Inside his mind, there was only one word:

Worthless!

He didn't understand how these people usually conducted themselves in the hall anymore. Standing up, he looked at them with cold eyes. "Prepare the way out!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

The officials kowtowed and said the same words before scurried to do the order. Emperor Mou walked down from the throne and headed to the harem. Tian Ni was still there, and he wanted her to come with him.

All these years, he had competed with his brother to get the girl. She was really beautiful and attractive, which made numerous men chased after her. Not a single one she accepted with the reason that she waited for one person.

However, he and his brothers know that was just an act. She was not really waiting for the man. She wanted the power he held behind him and the ability he had shown since young. Who wouldn't want to marry a perfect partner?

Opening the door, he found the girl sitting on the chair calmly. Her visage was similar to that with a goddess and the emperor found that he was captivated by her beauty again.

She wanted a perfect partner? So was he and in his eyes, she was that perfect partner for him.

"Ni'er, it's time to go."

Tian Ni raised her head and looked towards Emperor Mou. Getting up to her feet, she curtsied to the emperor. "This empress understood."

"Let's go."

When Emperor Mou turned around, he didn't notice that the woman eyes had turned icy cold.
