Zhu Li served tea and snacks to Yin Yue.Yin Yue came to her normal senses immediately. All others were just waiting until Yin Yue have her tea. "Uncle,sister,Ting er..please join with me.Let's have tea together"Yin Yue asked every one. Wang Wei and Zhu Li looked at each other..,after hesitating for a moment, they joined Yin Yue. They enjoyed the tea together. After having tea, they started discussing and exchanging information. Wang Wei informed about all the decisions he took and all the plans he made in details to Yin Yue. And he informed the secret codes of communication which they decided to use. After explaining the plans they made in capital, they started to analyze the information Yin Yue had collected . "Miss,as you have mentioned,city magistrate has only two sons.And eldest son is not the present lady's son.right?" Wang Wei asked Yin Yue. "Yes,I cofirmed it from many people" "How is the father-son relationship between elder young master and magistrate?" "They have a v
Yin Yue was sitting around a table in the garden with her parents.They were chatting happily with each other.It was a rare occasion Yin Yue got to spend her time freely with both her father and mother, because her father was always busy with military works.They were having tea and enjoying the scenery of setting sun in the evening . Suddenly, as if it was going to rain,a massive dark cloud invaded the sky.It was getting larger and larger and covered the whole sky including the sun.The surrounding got dark like a solar eclipse happening and a sudden thick fog started to invade the surrounding,backing up the speed of spreading darkness.Yin Yue was frightened to the core because of this sudden change.She looked at where her parents were but she couldn't find them.The thick fog had covered all the area densely .She called her parents, crying.But she couldn't get any answer.She kept calling while crying .She couldn't move anywhere to look for her parents because of the darkness .And the t
After three weeks... The time flew by. Everything went normally and smoothly. For Yin Yue, the only special thing happened during this period of time was the grand opening of their inn. According to Zhu Li's ideas and planning, with the help of Wang Wei and Ting ..,the opening ceremony of the their inn happened successfully.Now it has been doing considerably well for about twelve days. Except for Zhu Li and Ting, they had another two females and one male as their staff. Two friends of Ting, also were giving their helps when needed. They also were timid and disobedient at first just like Ting. But Yin Yue or Wang Wei didn't know how, Zhu Li had managed to train them in a very short period of time like a week ,before the opening ceremony takes place.They did a great job by spreading the news about newly opened inn,describing the amazing taste of food there..,high quality service with lower amount of money.. ,comfortable settings of rooms..and other facilities. Their food menus we
It was one fine morning. As usual, Yin Yue got up early in the morning, managed to complete her own schedule without trouble and started her appointed duty on the day. As she was a lowest ranked servant, she was not appointed to one master or one courtyard. Her place of duty is always changed according to the need and her duties also varies according to the need.Therefore she was able to meet almost every type of working personnal. That was the reason she could complete the previous home work given by Wang Wei successfully. Today she was working as a cleaning servant at first young master's quarters. After cleaning, she carried the dirty water bucket away and now again she was walking towards the quarters,carrying a bucket full of clean water. She was passing the young master's reading room when she heard some sounds of two people talking. It was not in her nature to eavesdrop another's personal talking but according to the words she heard,that seemed to be someone was reprimind
Heavy thundering continued as if heaven is angered and lightning made the surrounding illuminated intermittently. The pouring rain fall upon her heavily. It was almost for six hours; on a horse back, they were fleeing, drenching in heavy rain, but Yin Yue had no clear sense about it. She had drenched totally in rain, with her clothes stuck to her body completely and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Coldness from the heavy rain was entering through her skin, piercing through flesh and reaching bone marrows, making chills run through her whole body. But at the moment, her mind was completely benumbed from the shock she experienced and she didn’t feel anything at all. She barely managed to hang on the horse by leaning on to the strong man behind her, who was riding the horse. Their speed was considerably lowered because of the heavy rain but they had managed to distanced themselves from the capital far enough. At the moment, they were passing a desolate area. There was no si
It was King Lian this time, starting riots around the southwest border of the empire. That border was under the surveillance of General Huang Song. He has an army of 5000 guarding the southwest border with him. But news from the spies confirmed that King Lian had about 25000 in his army. Although his troops are less than King Lian’s about 1/5th, after estimating all his strengths and considering all the information he got from the spies, General Huang was confident that he would be able to defeat King Lian if he fights according to a well-planned strategy. Therefore with much confidence, General Huang started leading his troops next day. Cavalry troops were to attack as two entities from two sides while archers were to surround the entire battle field and guard against the long range attacks. Specially, Archers had to play an important role as a backup for cavalry and other troops because they were fighting against an army with very high manpower. Every soldier was aware of the risks
General Jiang Lin was relaxing with closed eyes, comfortably leaning on his chair, after the tiresome involvement in battle. His closed eyes added a look of serenity to his handsome face. He had got a few scratches from the recent war but those wounds were already treated and well bandaged. Although a few noises could be heard outside the tent, inside of the tent was mostly calm and quiet. General Huang also was sitting on a chair beside general Jiang Lin. Even though the war ended victoriously for their side, it was obvious that something was troubling in General Huang’s mind. He looked anxious and curious at the same time with his furrowed brows. He was repeatedly curling up his moustache, while staring at his friend. But his friend doesn’t seem to notice anything as silence continued. But infact, General Jiang had been feeling his friend’s intense stares even though his eyes were closed. But he felt too lazy to break the silence, so he ignored his friend’s s
After few days... General Jiang was heading home from the border with twenty of his most trusted subordinates in Black Dragan army. Before entering the capital, they had to pass a defile beyond the Megan valley. When entering the valley, General Jiang suddenly ordered his men to hold their horses. Two of his body guards reached him to ask the reason for his order. "I feel very uneasy about something, there must be something amiss definitely "he said. "I want you to examine the bi-face of that defile before we enter. Both of you, take five men each and check before we enter" he ordered. They got the order and left while others were waiting there, keeping their guard up. After about one incense stick time, two bodyguards returned reporting what they found. "Master, you were right. There are about 200men hiding. I couldn't figure out what their target is. But definitely they are waiting for an ambush." one guard reported.
