258 Crazy Prince

"By the way, why did you suddenly choose to tell me the story?" Jun Hua asked after taking the bow and arrow.

Prince You laughed a bit. "You're the third person I have been telling this to. Every time there are new people who didn't wear the clothes from Kai Kingdom, I would try to approach them and tell them this story."

"Third?" Jun Hua eyebrow rose. "Who else did you told this to?"

"I have met with a group of man and a traveler before. In this span of one week, the number of foreigner seemed to increase by a lot," Prince You answered calmly.

Jun Hua thought quickly. Who could possibly come to Kai Kingdom at times like these? Was there anyone from Pan Kingdom or Ming Kingdom? No matter which one it was, Jun Hua was sure that they didn't have good intention.

"The group offered the same thing with you," Prince You continued. "But my answer is the same. Let the nature take its course."

Looking at the distant face of Prince You who seemed to give up the whole world already, Jun Hua felt heartache and sadness over this man and his fiancée. Maybe, they could be together if they didn't come from this kingdom where they need to face the battle for the throne.

"How did she… if I can know."

"Assassination attempt, it's common here," Prince You answered mildly.

Jun Hua could only nod her head. She turned towards the door. "Thank you for your time. You can just wait here for the news."

Prince You didn't answer. He simply took a seat in his living room and took out his wine. The doctor had warned him that he should never drink the wine because it will decrease his lifespan even more. However, he no longer cared about it.

"Kai Kingdom huh, it can go for all I care."

The mind of a broken hearted person would never be clear. As for Prince You, he simply no longer cared about what happened around him. Drinking would make him forget everything and that was what he did.

Jun Hua slipped through the darkness and watched the people passed without noticing her presence in the darkness. Walking to Prince Yang residence, she quickly found the place. Upon nearing the place, she realized that the place was covered in dark atmosphere. Her brow creased slightly. It seemed that this prince was not that weak like she thought.

She chose him just because he has been afraid of her arrow in the first place. Besides, the reputation of the fourth prince was not that good in the first place, but he was quite favored by the emperor. That scene was quite interesting, and she wanted to see whether she could make use of that again or not.

Slipping inside the residence, Jun Hua could pass the guard rather easily. She quickly found a separate building and came nearer to find out what it was. From inside the building, she could hear several voices.

"Are you the new kids?"

"Line up there, there's not enough space."

"Too many of them…"

Jun Hua's face darkened upon hearing those childish voices. She went towards the door of the building and unlocked the key silently. She got inside silently and looked towards the crowd of children with a frown. Just how many of them that crazy prince bought?

"Min?" He Zhou looked towards the newly arrived girl with a disbelief gaze. How did she appear here?

"He Zhou," Jun Hua smiled, "I will make a slight ruckus outside this place. When you hear the ruckus, lead the others out from this place and go here."

He Zhou took the paper from Jun Hua. He immediately recognized it as a map towards Mountain Kingdom. He was about to ask more from Jun Hua when he noticed that she had already disappear. His eyes widen in shock, he was not dreaming, right?

At that point, Jun Hua slipped into the trees when she suddenly stopped in her tracks because she noticed another presence near her.

Turning her body, she nearly fell from shock. In front of her was the person she would never think of encountering, Nanglong Soujin.

"Seems like I'm not the only one who wanted to make trouble here," Soujin said calmly. Looking at the other party, he didn't recognize her covered face, but he knew that she was skilled.

Jun Hua felt like banging her head to the trees. If she knew that the foreigner that Prince You meant was Soujin, she would not come here to make trouble. Encountering the other party with this appearance, what would happen to her if he found out her true identity?

Jun Hua chose to ignore Soujin. If she spoke, wouldn't he recognize her voice? She quickly leaped down again and dashed towards the main building.

Soujin eyebrows rose slightly, but he didn't bother leaving his place. With the skill the other party showed, he knew that she will be fine. What made him curious was who was she and why she wanted to make trouble for Kai Kingdom. There were only two possibilities; she came from Pan Kingdom or Mountain Kingdom.

"Seems like there will be an interesting show here."

Jun Hua climbed to one of the trees in the main building. She took out her arrow and shot a fire lantern, making it fall and started to burn the residence. Then, she took out another arrow and aimed it towards the door near Prince Yang's head. She wanted to know what kind of expression the other party would have upon seeing the arrow again.

TAK!

Prince Yang was originally resting. However, upon seeing the arrow near his head, he remembered the scene from before once again, the time when that young general shot near his head and the time when a strange lady shot the arrow to him.

Standing up abruptly, he started yelling and screaming while telling the servants off.

Upon hearing the commotion, people started to come out from their place. The guards were all over the place and the servants were all yelling towards each other. They wanted to get away from the fire and found a safe place.

At the same time, the children also hear the commotion, and they cannot continue their sleep anymore. They wanted to know what happen outside, but they were too afraid of what they may found there.

"Maybe, we can try to ask Master what is outside."

"What if he's angry again? I don't want to be punished."

He Zhou remembered Jun Hua's instruction from before and tries to open the door. To his surprise, the door opened without trouble. Glancing at the other kids, he smiled slightly.

"It seemed we can go out."

"Me first!"

"No, it's me!"

The children were all running away from their place, each of them was trying their best to get out from the place. Not only that door, but even the residence door were opened. It granted them the chance to get out from this place to their freedom.

When the servants and guards found out the situation, it was already too late.

On the other hand, Jun Hua aimed her arrow again, this time towards the lantern again to make the fire even bigger. With that, the whole room was on the fire. She made sure that the children already left before continuing her action. After repeating it a few times, the whole residence was in fire and it was time for her to get out.

Looking around her, her brow furrowed slightly. She was kind of careless to not make a truly safe pathway to get out. It seemed even she cannot escape without getting slight burn. Not that she minded much, but her uncle would surely berate her if she has another wound.

It was then one of the rooms suddenly collapses and a man was standing near the place. Soujin looked towards Jun Hua and smiled deviously.

"You can use this way," he said before going away.

Jun Hua sighed. Why would Soujin help her? Never mind, at least she didn't need to get wounded from a burn. Slipping away through the way Soujin had created, she quickly disappeared into the night. Behind her, the people from Prince Yang residence were still in chaos over what happened.
