Surai Kasih Tiga Lives

Episode 167's

2 Days later, the Jing emperor's entourage had arrived, in the western forest of the Xili empire.

They stopped the trip there. Or rather, emperor Jing had indeed deliberately come to that place, where with his possessive side towards Ziaruo, it was a place, which he should never have come to.

But in this world, nothing is ever certain.

In order to suppress the number of defeats/more precisely, increase the possibility to win the battle, and suppress the suffering of his soldiers, Jiang jing wei was willing to come to the place, where Gutingye's tomb was located.

In fact, he was willing to accept the troops belonging to the ex-husband of the wife.

Today, his country's interests and the success of the battle are paramount.

Not only for the survival of the Zing empire, but also to ensure the happiness of the empress, and her son.

Like a paddle, two-three islands exceeded.

Not only that, if the red elite troops are willing to serve the Zing empire, then the country will get additional trained people who will take care of, and protect his empire.

Moreover, if they were willing to move to the mainland of the Zing empire, Jiang jing wei would stretch a welcoming hand, and consider them as part of his people.

However, if the red elite forces, decided to remain settled in the western forest, as long as they declared themselves as the people of Zing, he would also still accept and acknowledge their existence.

On the other hand, the western forest frontier region belonging to the Zing empire, would no longer be empty without inhabitants.

And maybe later, it will become a thriving city.

Given, the vast and large western forest area, it may be able to add new land that develops and presents in the future.

Given this, Jiang jing wei felt that whatever the choice and where the elite troops wanted to settle or move to the open plains of the empire would still receive the benefits of their existence.

*notes*

Mystery Forest Or the West Forest.

A mysterious forest that was feared by many, and was in the western part of the Xili empire, as well as being the eastern part of the Zing empire.

It could also be said to be the boundary between the two empires.

Part of the western/mystery forest, included in the region between the two empires.

However, because there was no recorded existence of a village, or residents living there, the place did not become a periority for both empires.

Thus, his condition now became like a place that stood alone, without a master.

Although the area, is a very large land, with a level of springs that are not small, large rivers, and contours of mountain land that promise, not many of the lay people, not many, who are willing to come and settle there.

This is because of the scary myths, as well as rumors about the number of ruthless pirates, who often attack there.

*Back to story*

On the route to the Zing Empire, their party had to pass through the famous haunted forest.

The group route should only pass through the path, which is on the edge of the forest only.

But this time their entourage, deliberately came into the western forest.

Especially the riverside region, on the southern edge of the mysterious forest, which many feared.

This is because there, where most of the red soldiers, who blend themselves, as forest dwellers.

Moreover, not many of them were truly pure, from the members of Gutingye's red army.

Almost 70% of the troops, were either new members, or were also troops from the military camp belonging to old general Gu, who was willing to join the special forces, or had a certain reason that required them, or had a certain reason that required them, to join the army.

There are hardly any outsiders who know their validity.

In fact, the Tang state, the mother country of the former red army, had removed their existence from the imperial special forces list.

And it's not because it was done intentionally.

However, more because of the Tang state government, they no longer exist.

In other words, the red army has been considered finished, or dead, since the abduction*nt*ian of the red village camp, in Gutingye's time.

The remaining troops, were members who were being sent for a task, as well as members of news seekers in other countries, who were considered to be in a war with the Tang empire at that time.

Their number of just hundreds was not realized by the attackers at the time.

And when they came back from work, they found a big surprise, with what happened to the red village.

However, not all of them have completed their respective tasks.

Most of the remaining, deliberately returned to the western forest. Because, they heard about the assault on the red village, from the elite soldiers who had returned first, or had completed the task.

However, as quickly as they moved, in fact everything had happened, before the arrival of the members of the army.

And in the midst of chaos, grief over the loss of the family, and destruction there (the red village), the soldiers could not decide anything, for the future for a while.

They look for traces, the whereabouts of other members, families, and look for clues of people they can contact to report to the palace.

Understandably, for the red elite troops, the red village is also home to most, the elite soldiers who have families.

Not a few of them, bring his family there, for the sake of calm when on duty.

Although the red village is famous as a den of robbers (as a disguise), everyone will take turns to look after the family of their colleagues, who are carrying out the duties of the leader.

Therefore, the destruction of the red village, made them very hard hit.

And at the same time, they were also confused, because none of them knew for sure, how to contact the palace.

Here the status of those who are better known as pirates, is a point of weakness in the eyes of ordinary people in general, of course the same assumption will also be done by others in the Jing empire.

This is not without reason. In the red pirate rule, only the chief (Gutingye), and the three deputy protectors of the red army (Zelan, Lucifeng and Luo jinting), could do so (direct contact with the Tang empire).

On the third day after the attack, they coincidentally met old General Gu, who was there to investigate the son's case.

From the stories, as well as the events that befell the red special soldiers, the old general Gu smelled the subtleties, and absurd excuses, of the assault, as well as rumors of rebellion, of the leadership of the son in the eyes of the empire.

He felt that there was an element of fraud among the cases, as well as the accusations carried by Gutingye.

Even the sudden, and unpredictable ambush of the Xili empire, made General Gu grow stronger, his furious veins stronger.

Therefore, General Gu decided to cover up the remaining red elite soldiers from the Tang empire.

In fact, he also asked the remaining elite members to recruit new members, who were considered capable.
