Chapter 402: End of Figh

402 End of Figh

The sound of metal clashing became even merrier as the other Xiao Sao's men came to attack Nanglong Soujin. Nanglong Soujin knew very well that with someone as skillful as Steward Du attacking him, he might not be a match for a group attack. This scene reminded him of the time when he was at the war against that person.

He moved one step back to avoid the attack before lunged forward and quickly killed one of the men.Steward Du knew that those men were not a match against Soujin, but their appearance hindered the other party movement. This should be a good chance for him to attack the other party relentlessly.

Before he could do that, they could hear the sound of glass broken from behind them and a man was flung at them.

"Finally I find this place," a girl grinned while wiping the sweat on her face. She was wearing a boy's clothes, but with a glance, it was not hard to deduce that she was indeed a woman. After all, her beautiful face was for all to see.

Nanglong Soujin looked towards the one who had come. His lips unknowingly curled up to make a smile. "You're late, little girl."

Jun Hua stared at Nanglong Soujin with a frown, "Stop treating me like I'm a kid. I'm already 18."

"I know, help me finish them while I have a fight with this one over here," Nanglong Soujin pointed towards Steward Du.

"No problem," the moment Jun Hua finished saying that, she moved to attack those men. She was just like a wind since the men cannot follow her movement. The next thing they knew, they were already sent into the underworld.

After the hindrances no longer bother him, Soujin focused his attention fully on Steward Du. With his martial art, it didn't take long before Steward Du was forced upon a corner. Soujin locked the other party sword with his and kicked him, sending the steward towards the wall and make a crack there.

"Your power has increased even more," Jun Hua commented as she sheathed back her sword.

Nanglong Soujin noticed that Jun Hua also has finished fighting. How come she became even more powerful when she didn't practice for close to two years? This little wife of his was truly full of surprise.

Steward Du coughed up and stared at the two of them, "How did you do that?"

With these two martial arts, there was simply no way he could fight them. Soujin alone could send him to his grave, what was more if Jun Hua was included in that list.

"I don't have to answer you. Now, you should be able to explain why your prince is so adamant in taking over the Long Kingdom?" Soujin asked.

Steward Du didn't answer. His eyes watched the two people in front of him. In a swift movement, he pulled out a knife and stabbed himself. Before they could react, he was already at the end of his breath.

Jun Hua frowned upon seeing that, "He's a loyal person."

Nanglong Soujin nodded and walked out from the palace. That prince was still out there waiting for the steward to finish his work, but it would be impossible for this person to come out there anymore.

Xiao Sao eyes flashed with worry when he saw the one who came out was not Steward Du. The other people around him tried to attack Nanglong Soujin, but Jun Hua moved first to kill them while Nanglong Soujin moved towards the prince. Before the prince could react, Nanglong Soujin already placed a sword near his neck.

"Prince Sao, can you explain to me why Gu Yue Kingdom would want to end the Long Kingdom?" he asked in a cold tone.

From behind Nanglong Soujin, Xiao Sao could see his men getting killed like nothing. Jun Hua simply didn't need to exert too much power to handle them. Despair crept up in his heart and the pain from the edge of the sword near his neck made him felt even scared. However, his pride made him refused to back down.

"Long Kingdom is just a small kingdom and they should be under Gu Yue…." The pain intensified. It caused Xiao Sao to be unable to say anything more.

Nanglong Soujin stared at the prince in front of him, "You attacked us just because you want to weaken Long Kingdom to ensure your success in the future, but do you know that your dream of conquest is impossible to realize?"

He had been reading the history of Gu Yue Kingdom and noticed that this kingdom also has only unified themselves under the current emperor. They have been trying to rebuild their economy after a long struggle and now that they have been at the peaceful time, this prince actually wanted to declare a war again.

"Impossible? How could someone like you know about that?"

Nanglong Soujin took out a book from his pocket. He hadn't returned it per Tang Xuan's request because he was still reading it.

"Gu Yue was not proficient in making ship and the water current would make it impossible for ship to travel continuously. If you wish to transport a lot of soldiers and attack us from the Yuan Kingdom, have you ever thought about us sending your soldier to doom even before they reach the shore?" Nanglong Soujin's eyes glinted with ruthlessness. If they really dare to attack, he won't show any mercy.

The reason this prince has been targeting him was very clear. He wanted to make sure the Long Kingdom didn't have enough power to beat them, so he incited rebel and targeted the most powerful people in the Long Kingdom.

At first, they thought it would be ridiculous for him to chase after them since the two sides have long been separated. After interrogating many assassins and those spies, he found out the truth that this ambitious prince wanted the two places to become one kingdom again and not stay separated by the river. Of course, the real catch was the trade and plentiful resources in the Long Kingdom.

Due to the war these past few decades, many areas were still untouched, making the raw resources very rich. It was impossible to deduce how many of them, but they were surely worth a lot. This was the very reason this prince dared to make a scheme against Long Kingdom.

Jun Hua shook her head and let Soujin ranted out his rage towards the prince. If not because of his plan in subduing the entire land, there was no way they would get into this much trouble.

"Don't kill me, I'm the prince of Gu Yue Kingdom…"

"So what?" Jun Hua interrupted, "We have already come into terms with Prince Liao about the trade, and he promised that he won't attack us."

Xiao Sao was stunned, "The one who sent the assassins is him."

"Stop lying. It's tiring."

Soujin didn't listen to the prince pleaded and ended the other party life. He turned his head towards Jun Hua. "What did his men told you to make you come here so early?"

"Even if they didn't tell me anything, I would still come here," Jun Hua rolled her eyes, "That's our original plan, right?"

"I want to know what kind of message he told you."

Jun Hua smiled at that remark, "If the message true, I would still come here, but not to help you."

Seeing that cold smile plastered on Jun Hua face, Nanglong Soujin decided to not ask the girl about the message any longer. He could deduce the content already from her reaction and he knew it would surely be about him. As for the content, it would surely something really bad.

"Tang Xuan and Lou should already finish the battle by now. Do you want to help them?"

Jun Hua stretched her body, "Sure, I haven't practiced for a long time and I'm still itching to move, so let's go."

The girl dashed towards the way Tang Xuan previously ran with Lin Hong and Xiao Meng. Nanglong Soujin smiled at the girl's decision and followed after her.
