REINCARNATION: TRAPPED IN THE WRONG BODY
CHAPTER 58. Return of General Zhong Guo
***General Zhong Guo's residence***
Ming Lan and Zhong Min walked into General Zhong Guo's residence in anger and annoyance, while Zhong Li aka King walked leisurely behind them while being led by Hercules.
Ming Lan had not expected the high-scientific hit man she hired to kill Zhong Li to fail and die all because of the two new servants gifts from Princess Jing Mi. Ming Lan was certain that Hercules and Xena must be of such high knowledge that Zhong Li could escape from the hitmen.
Last night Ming Lan was shocked when the royal warrior Dong Wang came to inquire about the horse carriage found in the middle of the road with the decapitated horse coachman.
At that time Ming Lan had already suspected Zhong Li of not being killed by the hitmen because if the hitmen were to successfully carry out his mission, it would be for them to succeed, so the soldiers of Dong Wang Kingdom could not find the body of the horseman and came to the residence of General Zhong Guo to interrogate him.
Ming Lan was forced to speak honestly to A Chen that Zhong Li and his servants were wearing the horse carriage to the Taoist Temple so A Chen and his subordinates decided to go to the Taoist Temple.
Of course Ming Lan forced to come to the Taoist Temple on the grounds of worrying about Zhong Li's state. Ming Lan took along Zhong Min, his beloved son to the Taoist Temple.
Upon arriving at the Taoist Temple, Ming Lan was surprised to see Princess Jing Mi there with Zhong Li's three servants.
Ming Lan knew Princess Jing Mi had already suspected the mastermind behind the assassin eyeing Zhong Li was her. The words of Princess Jing Mi who had Zhong Li wear the battle robe were a threat from Princess Jing Mi to Ming Lan and Zhong Min.
If Zhong Li suffered another calamity, Ming Lan was confident Princess Jing Mi would make the calculations with him.
Meanwhile, in a few days, General Zhong Guo will return to Dong Wang Kingdom with peace envoys from the three kingdoms of Xi Xia Kingdom, Bei Ming Kingdom, and Nan Yun Kingdom so Ming Lan decided to delay his plan to kill Zhong Li.
Ming Lan did not dare to take the great risk she would face from Princess Jing Mi and General Zhong Guo.
From that day on, King's life became quiet with no interference from Ming Lan or Zhong Min at General Zhong Guo's residence until General Zhong Guo's return
In the evening, Princess Jing Mi sends a telepathic message to King and teaches him some basic theoretical science to use the power within King. Of course King studied and memorized it diligently.
After that King never again got in touch with Princess Jing Mi because Princess Jing Mi was busy with Dong Wang Kingdom officials and Emperor Wang discussed the arrival of peace envoys from the three kingdoms next week.
Meanwhile King focused on his own busyness. Every night King practiced the science of lightening his body inside the bedroom and also tried to fuse his powerful inner power with the martial arts mastered by him as well as learn the basic theory of using the inner power of the Princess Mi Jing.

Time passes quickly. Without feeling it had been a week King came home from the Taoist Temple. Tomorrow is the day General Zhong Guo returns to Dong Wang Kingdom.
Emperor Wang held a banquet at the palace to welcome the return of General Zhong Guo and peace envoys from Xi Xia Kingdom, Bei Ming Kingdom, and Nan Yun Kingdom.
This time Ming Lan, Zhong Min, and King were in the same carriage, while Hercules and Xena rode different horses and followed the carriage from behind.
King sat quietly inside the horse carriage with an empty eye view. Ming Lan and Zhong Min watched over the King's appearance from head to toe.
King enjoyed eating in his bedroom with Hercules, Xena, and A Tu. A Tu was more and more obedient towards King because King gave him dried fruit sweets, which A Tu thought was a poison antidote. Though it was a regular dried fruit sweets made by Hercules.
The body of Zhong Li aka King who is now getting more muscular. In addition Zhong Li looks handsome, brave, and charismatic in a white dress accompanied by Princess Jing Mi's battle robe.
This made Zhong Min even more envious. Zhong Min also wore plain white clothes. Zhong Min deliberately chose a neutral color because he wanted to surpass Zhong Li who always looked simple.
Zhong Min wanted to make up for the embarrassment at the palace banquet a while ago with a simple appearance this time around. Zhong Min wanted to take the heart of Emperor Wang and Princess Xing Xing.
Initially Zhong Min felt confident that if he looked like Zhong Li, surely the limelight of everyone would fall to him. However, Zhong Li was currently fusing his simple clothes with Princess Jing Mi's battle robe to make Zhong Li shine more than Zhong Min.
Ming Lan decided to use the same chariot to show General Zhong Guo that she had a close and intimate relationship with Zhong Li.
In addition, Ming Lan thought that Hercules and Xena would not go to the palace banquet because they could not ride in the same horse carriage. Ming Lan kept the frustration in her heart when she saw Hercules and Xena even insisted on riding along with her horse.
Hercules and Xena only listened to the orders from Zhong Li and Princess Jing Mi so that Ming Lan could not forbid them from going to the palace banquet and could only grumble in her heart.
***Emperor Wang's Palace***
Although King had already visited Emperor Wang's palace, but King still could not dispel his admiration when he was in the palace hall which was almost three times the size of a basketball court.
A long and wide red carpet was still lying in the middle of the room from the entrance of the hall to the end of the steps.
Some of the invited guests who were already present also sat opposite across the carpet. It was just that the King realized the seated formation this time was different from the previous palace banquet. Men and women are not separated.
A long table carved from red sandalwood was not there and was replaced with a short table of the same type of sandalwood. Enough table size to put the dish for two people only.
King walked slowly while being led by Hercules. Zhong Ming deliberately walked quickly past the King and sat right beside Princess Xing Xing.
Princess Xing Xing covered her nose first with a handkerchief when she saw Zhong Min sitting beside her. A short while later Princess Xin opened her handkerchief after being convinced no foul smell was spreading from Zhong Min's body.
Princess Xing Xing looked at Zhong Min's appearance from head to toe. A faint smile expanded at the corner of Princess Xing Xing's lips as Zhong Min's simple appearance felt very soothing to his eyes compared to the butterfly embroidery outfit of that time, which became Princess Xing Xing's nightmare.
