Ming Kingdom Capital
The lost of Lan family was truly a huge blow to the emperor. When he received the news, he almost smashed all the porcelain in the palace. The one he sent to the west border was Ming Gong, his favorite son. Should something happen to the latter; he would undoubtedly felt heartache. 𝘧𝑟𝐞𝒆w𝚎𝙗𝐧ov𝘦𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
When Ming Kui lost and fled to the capital with Xuan Pei, he was already in bad mood and punished the prince severely. Ming Kui was still recuperating when he heard the news.
"Lan Ping is captured? What about Ming Gong?" he asked.
"Prince Ming Gong escaped before the battle end. He is heading back to the capital, " Xuan Pei answered calmly. With their ability to gather information quickly, he had managed to know what happened in short time.
"That brat is lucky. Is there any news about Ming Xiao?"
Xuan Pei shook his head. Ever since Ming Xiao and the other captured by Yuan Kingdom, they have never been seen anymore. Or rather, they might be hiding somewhere with their identity concealed. Worse that can be was they were dead.
After Strategist Wu managed to take the territory back, he journeyed to the capital. Although he hadn't arrived yet, he had sent news first that he didn't find Ming Xiao in the territory. The emperor didn't seem to care about it as he continued to enjoy himself.
The first time he started worrying was when he heard the news of west border fall.
"Call Strategist Wu and have him fetch that brat!"
Ming Kui knew that with the difference in treatment like this, there was no chance for him to vie for the throne anymore. The emperor would surely pass it to Ming Gong.
Taking the book from the table near him, Ming Kui gaze hardened."Since he is so adamant to have Ming Gong to be the crown prince, why don't you try?"
Xuan Pei looked towards Ming Kui."Is there anything I should do?"
"Yes, " Ming Kui answered. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.
...
Ming Kingdom West Border
Lan Ping was detained within a dark room. He was incredibly pissed for his failure in defending the city. Originally, he wanted to escape, but somehow the soldiers of Pan Kingdom already reached the escape route and he was captured.
Looking around this dark place, he once again remembered the time of Jun Min death. He was detained in a dark room and there was no light. The room was filled with a horrible stench. The place where he detained now was even worse. There was even trace of blood on the wall.
The door opened, but Lan Ping felt that he cannot believe his eyes. The one standing before him was a lady. She had stunning appearance and charming body. In this horrible place, she was still wearing a gorgeous dress and her way of walking was elegant.
But what makes him startled was her face.
"Lan Gao Ya.... You're on the Pan Kingdom side?" Lan Ping almost cannot believe his eyes. The girl he thought to be death was appearing in front of him. At that time, Lan Gao Ya disappeared and her trace cannot be found anymore. Unexpectedly, when she came to the light again, she had become a person from Pan Kingdom.
Now he understood why they had lost. Among the people in the entire land, who can be more familiar with this place other than Lan family member? Lan Teng, Lan Pan, Lan Ping, and lastly the only lady, Lan Gao Ya. With her leaking the information to the Pan Kingdom, it was expected that they would lose miserably.
Lan Gao Ya smirked."Even in your wildest dream, you would never be able to guess it, do you?"
How can he guess it? The sole fact that no one knew where Lan Gao Ya went to was the reason they can't guess it. She disappeared completely without any trace whatsoever, and they didn't manage to track where she went.
"The Lan family secret force, they are in your hand right?" Lan Ping glared at the girl. His father told him once, the secret force won't bow down to them. He had no choice but to obliterate them. However, some of them managed to escape and hid in the world.
"Even if you know that, it won't help you, " Lan Gao Ya answered lazily.
She took a chair and sat down in front of Lan Ping. Her eyes bore deep hatred when her vision came to Lan Ping. With a smile on her lips, she said calmly.
"When your father and the emperor joined hand to kill my family, do you ever dream about this day coming?"
Lan Ping glared at the girl. If he knew that something like this would happen, he would not spare her. At that time, he was already an adult and participates in the killing. The only one they left to be alive was the seven year old girl named Lan Gao Ya. The harmless little girl from before was now the one who held the decision of his life.
He regretted not killing the girl. If he had, this day would never come and there was no way he would experience this.
Lan Gao Ya took out her necklace and place it on her hand. At the center of the necklace was a circle with pearl on the side. And at the center of the circle was a carving in the shape of a fire, the symbol of Lan family.
"Do you know what this is?" Looking at the necklace, somehow Lan Ping remembered it as the necklace his uncle usually wore. The necklace was a gift from their grandmother to his uncle. He had touched it once before, but it was nothing special. He truly didn't know the importance of the necklace.
Now that Lan Gao Ya showed it to him again, could it be there was something behind the necklace?
Lan Gao Ya smiled."This is the key to have the Lan family secret force follow my word. They would only listen to the person who had the necklace."
Lan Ping eyes widened.
"So, that's why my dear cousin. The information agency of Lan family would never follow you or your father."
