Lan Ping hurriedly goes outside after bidding farewell towards the two of them. Jun Hua and Nanglong Soujin also walked outside, but their pace is calm.

"Are you sure you can finish this task only with the soldier the emperor provided?" Soujin started a conversation.

Jun Hua brows raised up. "5000 is not a lot, but it's also not little. If one wants to use their family soldier, the time to march there is far longer."

"True enough."

The location of their own family soldier is far from the west. Jun family post is the southeast while Nanglong family soldier is the northeast. The closest one is Lan family since they're on the northwest. But still it will require them around 2 weeks to arrive at that kingdom.

"Will you go today or tomorrow?"

"Today," Jun Hua answered. While talking, they have reached the palace gate and she mount up her horses that she has prepared earlier.

"So you too have readied yourself," Nanglong Soujin also mounted his horse. "Want to go together? Our destination is the same."

The three of them need to go towards one part of the border to take the lead of the soldier so it's not wrong to say that their first destination is the same. They will only part when they're about to go to their respective kingdom.

Jun Hua brows rose. Why this man is suddenly talked so much to her? She doesn't remember having any interaction with him before. Forget it, better just go.

Jun Hua ignored Soujin, but their horses pace is more or less the same which makes them stay side by side. Jun Hua's ready to choose a different path when Soujin talks again.

"Do you want to have a bet?"

Jun Hua stared at Nanglong Soujin in confusion. What is this man saying? She would certainly be more confused if she knows that the same man who asked her to have a bet is the same one who rejected a bet before. If Lan Ping hears his request, he will surely have another urge to strangle him.

"What bet?"

"Just a simple one. We will bet on who can capture the kingdom the quickest."

Jun Hua stared back. "If it's Lan Ping who finished first?"

"He won't. He doesn't have the capability."

"...."

Jun Hua first impression of this man right now is how arrogant he is. It is one thing that he has the capability, but another thing to be so shamelessly looks down on people. But from his speech, Jun Hua noticed something.

"And you think I can?"

"Maybe," Nanglong Soujin lips curled up, forming a devilish smile. Along with his highly handsome face, his appearance would surely shot down countless girls. Unfortunately, Jun Hua is not one to be captivated by handsome face easily.

"So what is the reward and punishment?" Jun Hua chooses to concede and listen to what this man wanted to propose. If it is interesting enough, why not?

"Treat for a drink."

"...."

This man way of thinking is truly out of ordinary. Jun Hua feels like she has to raise her hand in defeat. She thought he would propose something serious, but it feels like this bet is just some plaything that won't really hurt both of them if either one of them lose.

"I'm underage."

"I forgot you're a kid," Nanglong Soujin ignored the deathly stare Jun Hua passes on him as he thinks about other way. "Then just a meal for you."

"Sure then," Jun Hua answered right away. "Be prepared for a hole in your wallet then."

"Oh, you're sure that you can win? It's not that easy, little kid," Soujin grinned and stared at Jun Hua small stature. "Beside, with that small body, how can you eat so much?"

"Of course I can! I'm still in my growing period."

Jun Hua really has the urge to beat the crap out of Soujin. This man mouth is truly sharp and deathly. If she were to talk with him any longer she feels that she would lose her self control and started attacking for real.

Soujin laughed. "You're interesting kid. I will be waiting for your performance."

Jun Hua didn't answered and focused all of her attention to her horses. By her side, Nanglong Soujin also paced his horse with high speed. Both of them continued like this for days before they arrived on the border.

Jun Hua is highly tired for not sleeping during the journey. On the other hand Soujin still looks fine. She got to admit that this man martial arts is truly high and a small girl like her cannot hope to compare. Nevertheless, she still needs to hold on so she turned her head towards the leading commander, Wang Zhou.

Wang Zhou walks towards Jun Min and greeted her. He's a bit disappointed with how Jun Hua looks like because Jun Hua looks too normal. He had once heard about the accomplishment Jun Min had on the battlefield, but it seems those are only rumors.

Jun Hua stared at the war records and her smile turned colder. Wang Zhou have already become a commander for a long time, but he never have big accomplishment. Looking at the tired looking soldier, they're no different than died bull waiting for a slaughter. What a good soldier the emperor has prepared!

"Commander Zhou, do you mind if I talk a few sentences."

"It's alright General Min."

Jun Hua walked calmly to the front of the soldier. When she walked, she could clearly hear the soldier talking about her and doubted her, but she doesn't mind with all of it. The soldier are all seems reluctant to allow such a small kid lead them.

Jun Hua cleared her throat.

"When I come here, I have high anticipation, but seeing you all here, my thought is you are a bunch of useless people and just waiting for the death's call. If you're to march against the enemies right now, you would all lose badly."

The soldiers are staring at Jun Hua with red eyes. They feel highly insulted.

"General, why are you insulting us?" one of them yelled.

Jun Hua stared at that person. "Insulting? I'm sure I only says the truth. Tell me, are you here to march for war or waiting for slaughter? Why are you still standing here with such listless eyes? Let me tell you the reason, it's because you people are incapable to do anything. In the end, you're all just a waste."

The soldiers are staring at Jun Hua. They're incapable? That's not correct, their skill have been honed for years in the battlefield, how could they be a waste?

"General! We are not that weak!"

"Then prove it! Prove that you're not weak and you're capable! With that kind of eyes waiting for death, how do you think I could believe in you?"

The soldier could see that Jun Hua is tired from his slightly disheveled clothes and pale complexion. But compared to them who just waiting here, the little kid looks far more energized and powerful even still yelling towards them. How could they lose to a mere kid? In that instant the 5,000 soldiers all roared up.

Wang Zhao stared with mouth opened wide and Jun Hua smiled slightly. Her plan to provoke them then let them see their disparity with her seems successful.

"Commander Zhou, let's go."
