Jun family residence
"YOU'RE LYING!" Jun Zhenxian bellowed. He can't believe that his granddaughter had died. The servants are all trembling and didn't dare to get close with the raging old man. They know that Jun Zhenxian is truly angry.
"…It's true!"
Jun Zhenxian smashed the cup on his hand. He won't forgive that Lan family for going this far. They did have some competition, but should they do something like this? He cannot accept losing the only hope for Jun family.
Looking around, it comes to him that most of their soldiers had gone, and it will be impossible to wreck havoc in this place. He gritted his teeth. So what? He will still going to the palace and berate that emperor to give the Lan family some beating!
…
The palace
The emperor almost smashes his cup onto his feet. This is truly inconceivable. The death of Jun Min had come too suddenly, and that boy is still in his youth which makes it a big loss for him. Looking around at the officials around him, he bellowed.
"GET LOST!"
The officials are all scattered away. The emperor is truly scary when he's angry and only one person left, the war strategist of Ming Kingdom. He stands near the emperor and wait patiently for the emperor rage to subside.
"Wu, what have I done wrong? Tell me!"
The strategist shakes his head. "You did nothing wrong, but your people did."
"What should I do now?" the emperor asked with exasperates tone. He cannot believe this disaster would happen. The key to their plan in centered among the three generals, now that this happened, what will their reaction be?
"You need to pacify the raging Jun Zhenxian. If not, he might do something that will destroy everything."
The emperor wanted to ask more when a eunuch come inside with a rush and kowtowed while shaking.
"General Jun Zhenxian had come."
As the emperor face fell, Jun Zhenxian walks in. He looks extremely furious.
"Tell me, Is this also your plan? Do you truly wish to destroy the whole Jun family?"
The emperor face ashen, but he cannot possibly get angry at Jun Zhenxian. The citizen would surely create a revolt if he did that without a reason. Despite him wanted to destroy Jun family, he still needs to think about what the citizen think.
"I don't! Jun Zhenxian, hear my words, I did not order them to get rid of your grandson."
Jun Zhenxian looks towards Strategist Wu who nodded. He looks towards the emperor with crazy eyes.
"Since you say so, I will act on my behalf to get my revenge!"
"Jun Zhenxian! Don't be reckless!" the emperor sweated again. Ever since the first time he tries to scheme against other, this is the first time his scheme failed completely. There is no way he could do nothing in front of this old man.
"If you don't have any son left, don't you also become reckless?"
Jun Zhenxian words are filled with murdering intent and the emperor knows that there is no longer any reconciliation with Jun family. With their current reputation, it will be a piece of cake to influence the soldiers to side with them and rebel against the emperor. Without him, the military power of Ming Kingdom would deplete.
Strategist Wu sighed. He had planned to use Jun Min to strengthen their military power and become the meat shield on the battlefield, but now all of this is for naught. The action of a single girl can cause their plan to crumble and fall completely.
Jun Zhenxian walks outside the hall, still full of rage. The emperor knows that there is nothing he could do to convince the raging Jun Zhenxian. Hopefully, this old man regained his sanity back or he will be forced to end the Jun Family, something he already almost finished years ago. At the same time, he knows that the price would be big should Jun Zhenxian genuinely rebel.
"Who is that girl? FIND OUT ABOUT HER RIGHT NOW!" the emperor yelled. The officials outside the hall are scampering around, trying their best to find out about the girl.
"Her name is Lan Gao Ya, the daughter of Lan Peng, cousin of Lan Ping. She was the sole survivor of the incident few years before. Your Majesty told us to spare her, so we did nothing and let her go."
The emperor remembers that incident. He was the one who ordered that, but it seems that his order from back then would become a weapon against him.
"I regret letting that woman live."
If she didn't, this would not happen. The emperor feels really vexed, but there is nothing he could do.
"Wu, make a new plan."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that we need to finish the matter inside the kingdom before setting our eyes out."
And with the people has their mind full about the Jun Family, Strategist Wu known that the Jun Family would become invincible for the next few days. Anyone who tried to drag them down would be seen as someone guilty. His eyes narrowed at that thought for he understood just how perilous the situation is.
"You're right…"
…
"The body is stolen!"
Soujin and Yan turned around in time to see a couple of people running with the 'body of Jun Min'. They already running far away and from their skill, it's clear they're not ordinary people.
"Shall we chase them?" Yan's brow creased.
Soujin wants to chase them too, but they are already too far and there are three possibilities of their destination.
"No, we will take it back after our plan," Soujin said gritting his teeth.
Yan nodded. "I will follow whatever you said."
They turned back again towards Lan Ping who's still pinned down on the ground by Yasha. Their eyes turned cold as they look towards the man.
"Put her down."
Lou complied and after Lan Gao Ya is released, her servants run to her side. They are highly worried and afraid. Without anyone order, the people in the surrounding didn't let Lan Gao Ya go. They wished for the investigation force to catch her and bring her away.
"No, please let me go," Lan Gao Ya cried again. In her whole life, when had she experienced the feeling of being cornered like this? All this time, it's her who keeps on pushing others on their end rope and cutting any hope from them. How could she keep up with the change on her life?
Soujin looks towards Yasha.
"Jun Min guard, you can let him go now. The law will punish him accordingly."
Yasha doesn't want to do that. The only person who cared about him and groomed him all this time is his Miss. He doesn't want to accept the fact that Jun Hua died before him and it's all because of this man. He wished to kill him even more because he knows that Ming Kingdom won't punish him.
But, in that moment, a soft voice comes to his ears. A voice that soothes his raging hearts in an instant, despite the content is an order.
"Yasha, don't kill him!"
