General, I Love You!

Wandering alone

Liu Bei was still silent enjoying the pain of Jia Li's flute, knowing that he had hurt the girl's amazingly good and great heart. Liu Bei wanted to approach Jia Li however, he did not want to give her a pseudo dream that would not be possible to be realized by him.

"I'm sorry, I'm Jia Li ..," said Liu Bei slowly, he didn't want to make things more chaotic.

'Suppose you knew my race .. Maybe it would all be very beautiful and happy. But, how is it possible? Will Liu Fei and her father get angry? I was unable to deal with all of this, ' his mind was chaotic, he was still staring at Jia Li who continued to develop beautiful verse with great feeling.

The night was getting late while the crackling of the bonfire was still accompanying the feeling of desolation and sadness in the beautiful night,

Liu Bei no longer heard the sound of the flute, he saw Jia Li's body already lying on the rock.

'I hope Jia Li is asleep, good night .. may have a good dream ...,' her inner wit, she is still on guard and alert for enemy attacks that try to attack them when they are off guard.

Jia Li pretended to be asleep, not wanting to make Liu Bei feel so wrong just because of him, so he tried to distract himself by lying in the sky.

The minutes had changed to a very long time, until Jia Li felt that Liu Bei had fallen asleep by leaning against a stone while hugging a sword.

'I have to go! I don't want to travel with Liu Bei, it's very painful, ' he thought, he immediately inched slowly and darted through the depths of the night following instinct.

Xiao Ling wanted to leave the desert and wander, she did not want to get involved in such a painful dispute. He also wanted to find happiness, even though he felt his actions were very irresponsible.

'What if the empire will look for me? Look at it later, I want to calm my mind! Suppose there is no marriage, it might not hurt like this.

'Forgive me! I better just go! Let the time that will answer everything, Xiao Ling thought, he continued to dart until dawn had dawned.

Xiao Ling did not care if history would shift due to her mistakes, she simply did not want to spend much time with the man she did not want at all.

It arrived in a beautiful valley with flowers blooming as well as patches of vegetables ready to be harvested, he said, Xiao Ling looked at the yellow carrot flowers coloring all the valleys with green cabbage and many more vegetables.

Xiao Ling gasped and did not know where he was. Clattering the footsteps of the horses following him, he saw if Wenwen caught up with him.

"A, wenwen! You're so good at looking for me. Only you are still loyal by my side" whispered Xiao Ling, she was so happy to see her horse had caught up.

Wenwen only snorted, Xiao Ling smiled indifferently, he still looked around and hoped to find someone to show him where the inn was or give him an ordinary folk girl's shirt.

"Your Majesty, General?! Mari! Please come in!" greet an old man who was carrying a hoe on his shoulder as if he wanted to go to the field.

"Eh, ma-sorry .. Sir, it seems that I am lost," Xiao Ling replied, she did not expect that people would still recognize her.

'Is Jia Li so popular? Not only in the imperial palace but, even commoners still knew him?' xiao Ling's mind, he felt even more chaotic and erratic given all that.

"Sir, this ... what area? Sorry, I forgot!" xiao Ling said, he is getting messed up.

"Eh, this is Shandong. Does Your Majesty not remember? Wasn't it a few months ago that you saved us from the Qin rebels?

"I'm sorry, I heard if you were seriously injured! I'm sorry," said the Old Man, bowing as if to pay his respects.

'Shandong? Oh, geez! I have even entered the Han Empire. Was Chang An not even that far away from here?' his mind began to remember the map of the past.

However, he did not find the map at all because he never cared about the history and the past. He was concerned only with the theory and practice of justice.

"Come, Your Majesty! The residents of the border village of Shandong will be very happy to see you!" old Man said sumringah, he gave Xiao Ling a path.

Xiao Ling walked along with the old man to enjoy the beautiful morning air between the vast swaths of vegetable plants in the beautiful valley.

"Sir, what's the name of this valley?" xiao Ling asked, he was curious.

Xiao Ling felt that everything was so beautiful and extraordinary, she forgot the fatigue in her soul and the heart breaking from love.

"This is the weak Ru Yi!" reply Old Man, "we are very grateful to you Your Majesty along with the 20 phonix prajuri who have helped us," repeated old man beaming happily did not expect if he would be reunited with the savior.

"That is my duty as a border guard" Xiao Ling replied smiling, she was very confident that Jia Li would say that too.

"A lot of border guards but never do what you do His Majesty," Old Man replied.

"Is the annual harvest so great, sir?" xiao Ling asked, he was curious and diverted the old man who kept praising him because Xiao Ling did not know what the great general had done.

"Yes, it's amazing. However," the old man replied, he was speechless unable to say many things.

"What's wrong? Are the robbers still here?" xiao Ling asked, he remembered the robbers who had always been on behalf of Donglai warriors, the Mongols, as well as the Han Empire which was so cruel.

"No, Your Majesty! But, the emissaries from the empire requested a very high tribute this year.

"Crown Prince Liu Fei asked for such an unusually high tribute that we could no longer dodge it. If we dodge then the punishment will happen to us," the old man replied grievingly.

"What?! Crown Prince?" xiao Ling said, he increasingly did not understand that Liu Fei would be willing to blackmail her own people.

'Are not the tributes and taxes borne by each region? And I guess the amount of tax that will be paid is not too high? Then, how is it possible? Liu Fei dared to do that?

'Does Liu Bang's empire know his son's lunge!' xiao Ling thought, he wanted to ask Liu Fei.

However, he knew all of that was not as easy as flipping a palm. Moreover, he deliberately escaped the unity and supervision of the crown prince himself.

"Sir Village Chief! Isn't that His Highness General Jia Li?" the residents shouted outside from inside the simple house.

"Look, who's coming! General Jia Li here, come ... bring out the good food and Anggita!" old Man said to all his people.

All the residents were flocking to give him food and wine, Xiao Ling was astonished not to expect the welcome he got.
