Being General's Wife

Chapter 38. Eastern Kingdom

(Next story of moving first yaaa)

The Eastern Kingdom was a kingdom located to the east of the Zhou Kingdom (where Celine was). This kingdom actually has quite abundant wealth. However, the rulers do not have good managerial skills. They also mostly accumulate wealth for themselves.

The kingdom also sells information to foreign kingdoms about potential areas that have a weak system of government (where only their informants are located) so that they can be controlled easily. Anyone who wants to get that information should be willing to pay a heavy price.

Being a henchman of foreigners, the life of the king and his followers was very prosperous. Inversely with the common people. The attitude that a ruler who protects his people should have is not owned by the king and ruler of the Eastern Kingdom.

The Eastern Kingdom levies high taxes on its people. The amount of corruption carried out by officials makes the situation and condition of the kingdom worse. The glamorous lifestyle of the ruler also further added to the miserable people.

Meanwhile

In an area on the border of the Eastern kingdom, there appeared to be a girl of about 18 years old. Her face was beautiful with black hair straight as shoulder. His eyes were pitch black with dark eyes. Her name was Lou Jie. Lou Jie is the princess of the Eastern Kingdom who 5 years ago was destroyed by Zhou Ming.

He was the second of two children. When the Eastern kingdom was destroyed, Lou Jie was outside the royal palace. Lou Jie is with her friends. Therefore how devastated he was when word got out that the kingdom had been overrun. Her parents and brother were murdered. The assassin was the war general of the Middle Kingdom, General Zhou. 15 Year old young general.

(Lou Dong was 18. Lou Jie is 12 years old. Han Cya Lin 10 years)

Actually Lou Dong was no less powerful than Zhou Ming. The difference is that since childhood Lou Dong likes to play women, causing Lou Dong to be undisciplined and his power is reduced. Just imagine, since the age of 10 years Lou Dong already has a concubine (eemmm long ago, whether or not the ruler of 10 years udh had a concubine 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and do not imitate you,,,,)

When death came to pick her up Lou Dong was 18 years old. Just like Lou Jie's current age. Lou Jie's eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

Flashback~~~

Remembering the situation at that time. He who was in the forest of the border area saw smoke rising high from the direction of the royal palace. A feeling of uneasiness, anxiety and uneasiness instantly engulfed his heart. Justright. The screams of the people running towards him made him realize that it was too late.

"Kingdom attacked"

"Save yourselves"

"The King and Queen have been killed"

"Prince Lou Dong is fighting in the palace"

That scorching shout left Lou Jie flabbergasted. Falling down unable to hold back her tears.

"No,,,, father,, mother,,, sister,,,," Lou Jie wailed with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I have to go there, maybe they can still be saved" Lou Jie murmured. He rushed to his feet running in the opposite direction to the people.

Just as he was about to run towards the palace, a hand pulled him onto the horse, then rushed off into the depths of the forest. A second later, thousands of arrows charged towards them. His body behind the body of a man he just knew was his brother's best friend protected. But the man's body got 2 arrow stabs on his arm and back. They continued to drive their horses until Zhou's troops did not chase anymore.

After feeling safe, they decided to rest in the cave. The first time in her life Lou Jie took care of someone. (It is usually hehehehe). The man collapsed from blood loss. Lou Jie ventured to pluck the two arrows left on the young man's body and applied the medicine on the man's shirt. Lou Jie was aware that the man was her savior and she probably knew the latest situation in the palace, considering she was running from the direction of the palace.

The young man fainted for 2 days. During those few days Lao Jie was trying to toughen up and survive. He ate the fruits of the forest and looked for foliage to survive the cold of the night. Luckily the morning dew was abundant in the forest foliage, so Lou Jie could collect it as drinking water. While strengthening her heart Lou Jie is determined to take revenge against the death of her family.

After resting for 2 days, the young man finally came to his senses. He is Da Fu. One of her brother's best friends. Da Fu has an elite unit called the ghost army. Its members were scattered due to an attack by Zhou Ming's forces.

Da Fu recounted that when the situation was critical she was told Lou Dong ran off to find Lou Jie. To the Eastern royal family, Lou Jie was a precious jewel. Do not be insulted or harassed by the enemy (when Zhou Ming troops are anti against the act of harassing women hhhh).

"Sister,," Lou Jie's tears spilled over hearing Da Fu's story. Da Fu just silently watched.

Long story short, as the palace had been overrun, Lou Jie and the remaining vassals of the king were forced out of the palace complex of the Eastern Kingdom. Lou Jie then joins the ghost army, under the leadership of Da Fu. The ghost army was one of the remaining hidden elite units that belonged to Lou Dong. This army was deep within the border forests of the Eastern Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom.

During these 6 years of seclusion, Lou Jie practiced the art of bare-handed martial arts and wielded a sword. Da Fu taught him himself. Although her family was despicable, and Lou Jie realized it, but the death of her parents and brother caused a grudge in Lou Jie's heart. Moreover, the people around him wanted him to reclaim the Eastern Kingdom as well as the Zhou Kingdom. Da Fu did not want to be reckless against the notoriously intelligent and ruthless Zhou Ming. If the wrong act can-bida their lives as a bet. Therefore they devised a truly mature plan. His goal was to seize the power of the Eastern Kingdom as well as control the Zhou kingdom.

In recent years, they smuggled some spies into enemy territory. It is useful to know how many enemy troops and how the current condition there is.

The latest news is that assassin General Lou Dong has just married. His wife is what Lou Jie's cabal is investigating. Since Zhou Ming had not had any weaknesses for a long time, perhaps this wife he loved was his weakness now.

From the very beginning Lou Jie wanted to place a female servant in the General's residence. But that effort never brought results. Neither Zhou Ming nor his subordinates were meticulous. It was very different compared to Lou Dong. His subordinates were incompetent all.
