Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

After finishing the instruction to her servant, Lan Gao Ya returned back to her residence.

Lan Gao Ya ignored the gaze from the people around her. Every time she showed her true nature, only a handful of people can stand in front of her and accept her for whom she was. After a long time, she had already gotten used to their terrified gaze.

When she arrived in her residence, she went towards her room. She walked towards her table and looked through the paper there. On the very top of the table was a news about Lan Pan.

”Where had Lan Pan runs to?”

”Answering Princess, it’s Yuan Kingdom.”

Lan Gao Ya frowned. That Lan Pan was really nothing but trouble. Killing both enemies and friends, he had killed most of the soldiers during the war before. The force of Pan Kingdom that she brought with her has decreased more than half. This result was truly embarrassing.

If not for her knowing the secret passage and most of the formation that Lan Ping used, with Lan Pan there, there was no doubt that she would lost. Pan Kingdom army was massive, but their ability was not at the top. They could only win mostly because of their overwhelming number of soldiers.

Lan Gao Ya looked towards the war report with a solemn face. If this kept on, they would soon lose their advantages. The enemy soldiers were not only Ming Kingdom, but there were still Yuan Kingdom, Kai Kingdom, and possibly Mountain Kingdom. Those enemies would surely be hard to deal with.

”The result is not really good.”

The sound of a man made Lan Gao Ya startled. She turned to see a handsome man looking towards her indifferently. He stared at the paper on Lan Gao Ya hand.

”The loss is really severe. At least, it’s better than when that general fight.”

Previously, they had lost thousands of soldiers just to deal with Lan Pan, yet the result was still a loss. That man was simply a monster, and they couldn’t break through him despite them trying their best. Now, with the help of information that Lan Gao Ya provided, they managed to defeat him.

Even though so, in the end Lan Pan escaped and his whereabouts was still somewhere unknown.

It didn’t really matter for them since their real goal was not killing Lan Pan, but rather taking over this place. Lan Pan was not one to have high loyalty towards Ming Kingdom as all he did was just going on killing spree. They might need to face him again in the future, but for now, it was not important.

”Thank you for your compliment,” Lan Gao Ya smiled, but there was no mirth on her eyes.

The man was Ye Lei, her husband, who was also the nephew of the emperor. He was betrothed to her when she was offering the information agency and herself to them. The emperor agreed and to make the relationship closer he choose his nephew as her husband.

From the reputation of Ye Lei, she knew that he was not a bad man, but he was a really cruel one. It was precisely because of this reputation of his that the emperor chose this man. The emperor wanted Lan Gao Ya to suffer, not knowing that she too was the same with this man.

The emperor didn’t really like Ye Lei, but the man was really capable. From the tone of the emperor, Lan Gao Ya knew that the two of them were only chess pieces in front of that cold emperor.

Being used by the emperor of Pan Kingdom was nothing for her. She can bear with it because with the power he allowed her to have, she can enact her revenge towards those whom she had debt with.

”You will be the one in charge of this place,” Ye Lei said and stared at Lan Gao Ya deeply. ”Don’t make a mess here.”

Lan Gao Ya lips curled up into a confident smile. ”Who do you think you’re talking to? I won’t make such stupid mistakes.”

”Let’s hope so,” Ye Lei said in a cold tone.

Lan Gao Ya was already starting to get used with the other party indifferent attitude. He didn’t really like her in the first place and only accepted because he kind of needed her too. After all, having a helping hand from her was quite a good deal for him.

”What is your next plan?” Lan Gao Ya asked.

”Establishing a base here to prevent them from taking over the place back,” Ye Lei answered calmly. ”You will also be in charge of the building.”

”I understand.”

Ye Lei walked away and Lan Gao Ya stared at the map before her. Their relationship was merely business, but she didn’t mind it. In the first place, she never tried to find marriage partner for happiness. The reason she chased after Jun Min and accepted the offer from the emperor was because she needed the power behind these two people.

Probably her father didn’t want her to do things this way from the moment he handed her this organization. He might want her to use it for herself. However, she can’t do that. She can’t forgive the Lan Family for taking everything from her, so she will use this chance for her revenge.

Looking towards the paper before her, she smiled wryly. Seemed like, she needed to work even harder to build this place into a fortress to guard against the Ming Kingdom retaliation. Now that this area was under her hand, she wondered how vexed Lan Teng would feel if he knew.

She hoped he would be angry until he vomited blood.
