Yan has transformed himself with his disguise as Young n.o.ble Han. Wearing a face mask and merchant clothes, there"s nothing similar to his previous self, except their build. He"s looking towards the old man in front of him with resentful feeling."If you want to go to the Yuan Kingdom, you should have gone by yourself. Why do you involve me?" Yan said annoyed.
The old man, Nanglong Souka, just laughed. "What kind of disguise is better than a merchant? Besides, I know that you"re not one to abandon your friends in need."
"Who would want to be friends with someone as shameless as you? Why don"t you go to the Jun family residence and bother that another shameless old man likes you."
Nanglong Souka has been called shameless a lot so he doesn"t mind it. But upon hearing Yan words, his brow creased.
"Don"t compare me with that shameless old man!"
"…"
Both of them are first cla.s.s in terms of shamelessness. Yan feels like he cannot communicate with someone like him any longer. This old man is getting on his nerve even more as the times pa.s.s by. He doesn"t want to bother talking with him again.
"How long do we need to arrive at Yuan Kingdom?"
"2 weeks is my estimation. Don"t bother me anymore," Yan picks up his book and started reading, ignoring the old man in front of him.
Nanglong Souka feels that Yan and Nanglong Soujin are really similar. No wonder they"re close friends. Knowing that Yan wouldn"t want to talk with him anymore, Nanglong Souka leaned back and closes his eyes, resting.

"Uncle, I know that you"re busy since the war has started, but can"t you at least send someone to fetch me?" Jun Min looks towards his uncle who is busy looking towards the map.
"Oh, Jun Hu-Min, you arrived even faster. Did you have some rest?" Jun Hua uncle, Jun Qing, looks at the pale complexion on his niece face. His face frowned a little. He knows that Jun Min must have been sprinting to reach this place as fast as possible.
"Don"t worry about me uncle. Has the war started?"
"Yes and the soldiers on the opposite side have increased even more. There must be some reinforcement from the capital. You rest first, the battle will begin again tomorrow."
Jun Min shakes his head. "I need to think of the strategy first, uncle."
"Sleep, this is an order."
Looking at the solemn face of his uncle, Jun Min knows that there"s no way he could disobey his order. Normally, he wouldn"t have arrived at the border at this time, but because he"s rus.h.i.+ng, he had arrived even earlier. With helpless feeling, Jun Min returned to his room.
Jun Qing watched the back of Jun Min leaving. He"s surprised to find the little kid had arrived here even faster than before. During his time in the capital, he shouldn"t have been training riding horse, could he? Shaking his head, Jun Qing focused on the map again.
"Yasha, tell the Dark squad to gather. Jun Min has returned."
"Yes Sir."
Jun Qing smiled a bit. Over the years, the ability of Jun Min has risen above him and that kid even has a powerful squad under him who"s completely loyal to the kid. He"s not sure about how Jun Min selected them or trained them, but he knows that each of them is dangerous. Having these kinds of powerful people around her, he knows that Jun Min is going to be alright.
The name of the Dark Squad is a secret to other people, but within the commander"s rank, they have long known about this name. Most of the ordinary soldiers would only know that their general is someone under Jun Min. Only upon advancing in his rank would he know that these generals are inside a group named Dark Squad.
"Yabei, has Yamin returned?" Jun Min said upon reaching his room.
A bulky man appeared from the corridor, with a big axe on his back. He bowed respectfully towards Jun Min.
"Replying to Young Master, Yamin hadn"t arrived yet."
Jun Hua nodded. She had expected it to be so. She looks towards the man before her. "Your squad won"t partic.i.p.ate in the first battle. The one I will use this time is the third, fourth, five, and seventh squad altogether. Relay this message to the Dark Squad and have them gathered together in the morning."
"Yes Young Master."
Jun Min stepped into his room as Yabei gone again. Dark Squad is the name of his personal squad consisting of 12 people excluding him. Each of the members is his people whom he had selected since young. 10 of them are now generals and two of them are a.s.sa.s.sins. Yamin and Yasha included inside them.
The room where he used to stay is still the same as before he left. The furniture didn"t move at all, but there is no dust in this room. The servants must have been cleaning this room diligently and didn"t forget to never move his things.
Jun Min smiled slightly. The first time he got this room, he"s shocked by the size. He had been pestering his uncle about it, but his uncle just said that there"s no way he could provide a smaller room for him. He could only accept it and use this room since then.
Picking up the things on his table, Jun Min noticed that his training sword is there. The bent all around it has made the sword no longer looks like one. He picks it up and sized it for a moment. It has been a long time since the last time he used this sword because he had never subjected to train again by his uncle for a long time. After all, he steadily rose in ranks at that time.
Jun Min puts down the war report and lay down on his bed. He could faintly feel that there are several people from Dark Squad coming and protect his room from afar. With his keen senses, he keeps on watching them for a while before falling asleep because of fatigue.
