87 Asking for Help

"You want my nephew to come to the capital and help you?" Jun Qing felt that this old man required a beating. Jun Min is the hope of their Jun family and without him, Jun Qing knows that they won't reach where they are now.

General Tou nodded. "I know that Jun Min is important to you and I too don't want him to lose his life. But the problem is, there are spies from the Pan Kingdom infiltrating our ranks and they have sent one of their more powerful people there. This person is nearly as powerful as me, so I know that none of the generals in Mountain Kingdom can possibly contend against him."

"There is no way I would let my nephew go towards enemy territory," Jun Qing could guess who they had sent, but still, he won't let them take Jun Min easily. How could he possibly send his own nephew into enemy territory?

"But I want to go," Jun Min said as he entered.

The person that Jun Qing was most unwilling to let him know of this is Jun Min. That little kid's martial arts are not normal and he could hear a person talking from far away. Even he himself cannot win in terms of skill so he usually had to use his advantage in strength to defeat the boy which were only effective sometimes, and that too was in the past.

The stunned General Tou looked at the boy who had entered. If he had been looking at a highly talented young boy before, the person before him can only be described as a flower boy. His face was handsome and looked a bit girly. With the addition of his slender body, he truly looked like a scholar and not a general. Previously, his face and clothes were dirty with dust and blood, but now he looked so refined.

"You're Jun Min?" General Tou asked in disbelief.

Jun Min nodded. "We meet again, General Tou."

General Tou didn't recognize this clean face, but he remembered Jun Min's voice when they had talked before. The boy's voice still sounded a bit childish, but upon seeing his clear appearance, he finally knew the reason. With his appearance, this boy looked like a mere 15-year-old but was already very powerful on the battlefield.

This boy walking on the streets will make girls come flocking to him, but no one would have guessed that someone so handsome and refined is actually a monster. If not for hearing for himself the voice that he was familiar with, he would never have guessed that the boy before him was, in reality, the Jun Min whom he had fought with before.

"I almost didn't recognize you. You look like a flower boy," commented the general.

Jun Min can only nod. He knows that with his age increasing, his features would only grow even more beautiful. Even with the face mask, it didn't hide her beautiful posture. With her slender body, they would surely think of her more as a scholar rather than a general. This is also the reason many people were in disbelief when they saw his appearance.

Jun Qing snorted. How could he say that he almost didn't recognize him? There was no way he could recognize the boy if Jun Min didn't reveal to him that he was Jun Min. Even if he searched throughout the whole land, there was no way he would know. With that kind of appearance, who could fathom it?

General Tou looked at Jun Min. "You're willing to help?"

Jun Min nodded. "This is also a good chance to see the scenery of the Mountain Kingdom. Please lead the way, General Tou."

"You still need to rest, you little rascal!" Jun Qing hurriedly stopped him. Just the previous day, he had sustained a lot of wounds, so there is no way he would let him go like that. Moreover, the one who gave his nephew the wounds was none other than this man. He doesn't want him to get into more trouble.

"Don't worry, they have almost healed and I could rest on the journey."

"Absolutely not!"

It took Jun Min a long time to finally convince his uncle that he was going to be alright. Yamin and Yasha both followed him from the shadows because Jun Qing would not let Jun Min go alone. Aside from that, Jun Min had assigned some things for his soldiers. General Tou can barely sense the two assassins as they walked.

"Your uncle is really protective."

Jun Min nodded. "We only have three people in our family, so we care about each other the most. He will surely nag me when I return later."

Jun Min had misspoke, but luckily General Tou didn't realize it. If he were to carefully digest the words Jun Min told him, he would know that Jun Min had said that the number of Jun Family members are only three, not four.

"It's truly a good family," General Tou said smilingly. "Anyway, your two assassins are really something. Even I cannot grasp their location from time to time."

"Really?" Jun Min himself can clearly sense them following after him. They distanced themselves, but they were not completely hidden. At least, for him, he could clearly sense them.

"Yes. And before you go, there is one person who will go with you. He is the most trusted general and he has known Princess Kuina since her childhood so you can depend on him."

"Thank you."

As General Tou explained the matter to Jun Min, General Hen was waiting impatiently inside his tent. The other generals had been dispatched before him and somehow General Tou wanted him to wait for a while more because there is someone going with him.

When General Hen looked at the person who came, his eyes nearly popped out. The person beside General Tou is a little boy, an absolutely handsome little boy. From his appearance, anyone will know that the boy is a flower boy, a boy who is extremely pretty. General Hen was utterly confused, where did General Tou find a child on this battlefield?

Aside from some parts of his body in bandages, the boy really looks perfect. General Hen did not understand why General Tou wants him to bring such a pretty boy on his journey back.

"Jun Min, this is General Hen who will be going with you to the capital."

Jun Min turned to General Hen and nodded. "Good day, General Hen."

General Hen felt as if his heart had just stopped beating. What did General Tou call this pretty boy? Has he turned deaf and heard it wrong?

"Jun Min, don't mind him. He is just surprised."

Jun Min put on a wry smile, "Don't worry. I have gone through this a lot of times."

"That's good then."

General Hen genuinely hoped for the Heavens to wake him up.
