350 Troublemaker
By the time they reached the city, the sky had turned dark and Soujin didn't have any interest to quickly interrogate that man. Because of that, they just checked in into one of the best inns and ordered the night meal. Of course, they had to separate the quarreling duo first before they could proceed with anything else.
Compare with the food in the palace, the food that the inn prepared could only be categorized as passable. However, with most of them already used with living as a soldier who only has scarce foods, there was no one complaining, except one…
"How in the world did you manage to eat all of these?" Yan looked towards his friends who ate the food calmly as if they were the weirdest creatures in the world. He had tasted the food, and he couldn't bring them down his throat.
Ming Hui looked towards his brother, "What is it? Does the emperor found the street food to be so lacking?"
The tone Ming Hui used was mocking, but Yan couldn't find any way to refute the other party. Compared with Ming Hui, Yan almost never got bad treatment in his life. With him being one of the princes, the servants always prepared the best for him. When he became the merchant, the people around him treated him with courtesy. When did he experience abuse if not because of the usual banter with his close friends?
"How could you eat this severely lacking food with delight?" Yan asked.
"I don't find them lacking," Ming Hui said, "Did you forget that I often go out as an apprentice doctor to the streets? Besides, with me being such a sickly princess, they won't prepare anything too extravagant for me."
The only time Ming Hui could eat lavish food would be when he visited the Restaurant Han Yan. In any case, he didn't visit the place as much as the others, so he didn't have many problems with eating ordinary food.
Yan looked towards the others, "How about them?"
"Emperor, do you think soldiers can eat lavish food every day?" Fan Lanying wore a weird expression. This was the first time she found an emperor as peculiar as this one.
"There is no way this new emperor would know because all he did is chasing after girls and managing his store," Jun Hua answered Fan Lanying.
"I see."
"Wait! Those are only rumors!" Yan wanted to explain further, but the two ladies already shot him a look of disbelief. In any case, they didn't find him any better compared with the rumor.
"No, they are not," Soujin said as he put more food in Jun Hua's plate.
"Soujin…." Yan wished to knock this man out, but the other party just ignored him and put his attention towards his wife. When Yan wanted to complain to Ming Hui, he found the other party already busy attending his wife too.
"If you want to bother someone, it's better to find a wife of your own first," Jun Zhenxian added fuel to the dark faced Yan.
In the end, the emperor and the old general lashed out in a battle of words. Because the others were too busy, they chose to ignore the two arguing people in the table. Even when the meals were over, these two hadn't made peace with each other.
"This scene reminds me of my grandfather and your grandfather duel," Soujin rubbed his eyebrows in tiredness. These two clearly wouldn't back down against each other. The old man didn't feel anything wrong in berating a younger person and the younger one didn't feel any shame fighting an old person.
"I think my grandfather just missed your grandfather, so he lashed out to Yan," Jun Hua speculated.
"…You're probably right."
Ming Hui nodded his head, "That brother of mine is just too energetic."
Jun Hua shook her head with an amused feeling. She returned to their room while Shu handled the emperor and the old man. In any case, they finally calmed down after making quite a ruckus at night. Thankfully, no one dared to complain to them due to their status.
Ming Hui instructed the servant to pay the inn owner more in order to reimburse for the furniture that old man broke. He had to admit that the two of them would not be allowed to stay in one place anymore. He wondered why Yan would have trouble with that old man. After all, this young emperor didn't have any trouble with Nanglong Souka.
In any case, it seemed the real troublemaker was actually Jun Zhenxian. Ming Hui decided that he would be more careful, so that old man wouldn't goad him into a battle.
"If they didn't come from the noble family, I doubt they can live their life," Fan Lanying said as she watched the spectacle from the side.
Ming Hui wore a wry smile, "Do you really think they will be like this if they didn't come from the noble family?"
"Well… no."
"Let's go to our room and have a rest. Tomorrow is going to be a long journey after Soujin finishes his matter," Ming Hui waved his hand.
Fan Lanying nodded her head and followed after Ming Hui to their room. In any case, she already had enough fun today and it was time for her to sleep.
The next day Soujin went towards the place his subordinate prepared and held a small talk with Ye Jiu's man that he got. Although this person didn't want to say anything at first, Soujin pressured him until he couldn't hold on and blurted out everything he knew.
"Lou, have you heard about the reason Ye Jiu being sent away?" Soujin asked after finishing the talk.
Lou shook his head with a complicated feeling. Hearing how Ye Jiu didn't have good relationship with the emperor and that person sending the young prince to die was not exactly a good thing. Moreover, that scheme failed terribly with Ye Jiu's achievement in the place he was being sent.
Soujin already expected that the previous emperor of Pan Kingdom coated his purpose with good words, which completely hid his true nature. With Ye Jiu realizing his scheme early on, why was this man still going towards the border willingly?
"Ye Jiu peculiarity of reading the future, did it start after his journey towards the border or before?" Soujin asked.
"It's after," Lou still remembered the data of Ye Jiu quite clearly because this particular man made them astonished. However, they didn't necessarily have all the information because most of them were still being gathered. On the Pan City later on, Soujin would get all of the information the others have prepared.
Soujin nodded his head. Did it mean the real secret of Ye Jiu weird ability come from the tribe or probably his experience? Regardless of which one it was, he would find the answer the moment he reached the city.
