276 War Against Kai Kingdom 2
90 days after the assassination of the imperial family
Ming Kingdom
When the battle against Kai Kingdom happened, the emperor didn't sit idly. He didn't know how the marriage agreement went since Lin Hong never returned and with the new emperor ascend the throne, they immediately declared the war against the other kingdoms.
"The Kai Kingdom is in tough luck this time," the emperor already handed the control of the soldiers on the east side of the kingdom all to Soujin to counter against the Kai Kingdom.
Strategist Wu put a wry smile. He felt that this emperor started to create numerous troubles as times passed by because the other party decision was mostly not up to his expectation. Even the decision to hand over the control of the east side to Soujin was not something he felt correct.
"How's the progress in Pan Kingdom?" the emperor turned his head towards Strategist Wu.
"Lan Teng has been chosen to lead the soldiers towards Pan Kingdom and they have been having a good momentum this time."
"That's good. Continue the charge!"
"Yes Your Highness."
Strategist Wu knew that the real reason he chose Lan Teng was because the latter has been impatience towards to do his revenge towards the Pan Kingdom for what they do to Lan Ping. Now that Soujin could handle to battle the Kai Kingdom, they could turn their attention to Pan Kingdom.
With two different force clash on two different forces, Ming Kingdom started to gain even more momentum towards victory. On the wall of Pan Kingdom, Lan Gao Ya held her place and didn't allow any soldiers to come near them with her strategy.
The fight between Lan Teng and Lan Gao Ya lasted for five months before Lan Gao Ya was forced to retreat towards the other wall and let Lan Teng gained his territory back. Her military ability was not as strong as the former veteran general.

Nanglong Soujin's Side
Soujin looked towards the city as he ordered his soldiers to hasten the process of cleaning up this city in order to claim it as theirs. By the side, Yan was busy claiming the ownership from a lot of stores and rearrange the people inside to make it more profitable.
"If you want to arrange everything by today, you won't be able to get any sleep," Soujin said as he looked towards his best friend business.
"You can return back to arranging the soldiers. I prefer to look at this paper and claim them as my own. Just imagine how many profits I could get every day," Yan smirked.
Soujin rolled his eyes. This friend of his was really a money grubber. He wondered what made him befriend the other party if not because of their mother in the past. With a light step, he arrived near Yan side and peered towards the paper.
"You want to help me?" Yan's eyes still didn't leave the paper even for a second.
"No thanks, you can do it better as a merchant. It's better if I don't interrupt you from your favorite hobby," Soujin refused.
'You should at least help me a little bit.' Yan lamented inside his mind because Soujin has been forcing them to move even faster. This man was eager to end the battle as soon as possible in order to meet with the little lass from Mountain Kingdom even sooner. It made him feeling rather exhausted because he almost didn't have any sleep these days.
"Can't you slow down your advance a little?" he asked.
"I can't," Soujin answered. If he didn't conquer them soon enough, he knew that he wouldn't be able to meet with the little lass as fast as possible. Besides, from the news he got, the Mountain Kingdom army also moved really fast.
Ming Hui told him that he needed to meet with the other party right before the attack towards Kai Kingdom capital. If they wanted to reach the capital at the same time, they would need to have the same pace when conquering the cities. He needed to maintain this speed in order to reach the capital as fast as possible.
"You're taxing your body real hard," Yan said, "The Kai Kingdom army is the worst among the five big kingdoms, there is no way they can face you even if you're not hurrying like this."
"I'm fine," Soujin answered.
Yan shrugged. "If you're hurrying because you want to meet with the little lass, I think she won't be among the soldiers who come here. After all, she is a strategist and not a soldier."
When Yan finished speaking, he could feel a danger directed towards him. He wanted to cry, he was only telling the truth. A normal noble lady wouldn't participate in a war and it was really unlikely for a princess to participate in a war. He was sure that the other party already thought about this before.
Soujin indeed already thought about it before, but he didn't want to think about it because he knew that he would only miss the other party. He looked towards Yan with a smirk. "You better finish your work earlier. We will depart at five in the morning."
"Didn't you say it's six just before?" Yan was speechless at the other party sudden change of plan. There was no way he could finish the work that fast. Not to mention he still needed to have some sleep before the journey or he might need to depart on a carriage.
"I change it just now," Soujin answered.
Yan immediately attacked the paper on his desk even faster. This friend of his was really selfish, just because of one remark and he needed to work harder like this. Inside his mind, he tried to remind himself that every topic related to Jun Hua was a forbidden talk in front of Soujin.
