The Emperor's Prisoner

13

Several times I met with a group of guards, fortunately my sneaking experience was reliable. I managed to get out even though it was quite difficult. After searching for the whereabouts of the horse we left behind earlier, I waited there.

 

Long enough I waited until I realized, that Mr. En had been heading to the main gate. Then it is certain that even if it escaped it is unlikely to go to the west gate.

‘better I head to eastward’ I thought.

 

Although it was a bit difficult to walk with two horses, I was quite good at directing them. From a distance of a few feet I could see an unequal fight where 4 against dozens of people. The situation there is pretty bad. They seem cornered. I don't know if they can beat those rebels.

 

No other choice, I should be able to bring help to them. Think of how to tell them if I'm here. Finally I pulled out an arrow that Master En left behind.

 

Get ready to ride the horse and point the arrow at a gatekeeper. I'm not sure if this works or not.

 Cass

The arrow shot quite far from the gate, but it was fortunate that Brother Lu saw it. The arrows are only Lu's brother and En's master who know, so I'll know if I let go. And now looking for my whereabouts. Our eyes meet. As if knowing my plan, Brother Lu immediately approached Mr. En. They are like having a conversation.

 

I was ready on the horse, just waiting for them to come. Before long they managed to ride the horse I immediately put it forward. Brother Lu was riding with me. Fortunately, I graduated riding training. Even though the dawn is still not visible I can ride quite well. Mr. En is leading the way. Seen a few drops of blood seeping on his shirt, while brother Lu I know his condition is also not okay.

 

My plan was self-centered, having only brought two horses to escape. Wouldn't it be better to save a piece than to let it all die. Even though Mr. En is the crown prince, for me his salvation is more important.

 

“we've been pretty far, we better take a short break”

It was morning, we decided to stop by the river. I can tell how bad the wounds inflicted on Brother Lu, some of his clothes were torn. But the one so worried about the sword wound on his back was quite deep. Only with a cloth and water Mr. En cleans the wound.

 

“ Zen, take care of Lucien I will look for maybe there are medicinal plants around here.”

“ well Mr. En, “ although I know Mr. En also suffered a lot of injuries, but I also can not help much other than keeping watch.

 

It's noon but Mr. En hasn't come back yet, I'm getting worried. Brother Lu is not conscious yet. I can't do much.

 

“Zen, help me smooth this foliage” finally Mr. En back.

“ this,”

“ only these drugs I can find. With this his blood will be stopped and can make the wound closed quickly”

“ mr En is indeed great”

 

After smearing all the wounds on Lu's brother's body. I see Mr. En's state is also slightly weakened. Face pale.

 

“ mr En also injured, let me treati”

Mr. En's wounds are lighter but quite a lot. I carefully touched the wound. Hopefully things get better soon.

 

“ this Mr. En eat” I collect some wild fruits that grow in the forest.

“ have you eaten?” i'm nodding. Some of the fruit I keep for supplies.

 

After getting enough rest and Mr. En's condition is quite good, finally approaching the afternoon we continue our journey. At midnight, we finally got out of the woods. Continue down the road until you reach a small village.  

 

“ we can not go there Zen, could have been one of the herd of rebels waiting for us there” right too, but I'm already very tired. It's a good thing that Brother Lu changed both with Mr. En, so my back is pretty relaxed.

“ we to the outskirts of the village, “

 

Mr. En took us to an unused hut in a field. Because I was so tired I just lay down and slept without thinking about whether this place was safe or not.

 

I woke up from sleep after smelling such delicious food. It is unexpected that in the hut there is already a couple of grandmothers and grandfathers who are compiling a plate complete with food. I see that Mr. En and Brother Lu are still asleep.

 

“ you've woken up sweet girl” greet the grandmother to me.

“ grandma sorry we rest here, do we bother you guys?”

“ of course not, this is just an ordinary hut we don't live here, you guys seem to be in a fight, what happened?”

“ we were robbed fortunately just could escape “ kilahku. I can't say the truth, for the sake of the safety of all parties.

“ poor once you guys, you can rest here, we have prepared food and clean clothes for you”

“ we just hitchhike just sleep, it's been very helpful”

“ need not hesitate, this food is the result of our garden and the clothes are the former of our children who have left the village whether it is not in accordance with your body. “ explained grandfather

“ thank you very much grandma, cake. Once again thank you very much”

 

After they left the hut, I chose to clear myself in the river not far from the hut. For days my body felt sticky and dirty.

‘this outfit is quite convenient’

 

“Zen, where have you been, I thought they took you” just now I got in front of the hut, I didn't think Mr. En was so worried about me.

“ I finished cleaning myself sir, that you guys can also change clothes” I entered the hut and saw Kak you already aware.

“ where are these foods and clothes from?”

“ while we sleep, a pair of grandparents of the owner of this hut came. I said if we were robbed so they set up all this”

“ then we hurry away before they come”

“ why not just wait for them sir?”

“ we don't know what they have intentions, so better get ready soon”

 

All the food we brought with us and some clothes we stayed. Although I feel bad to go without saying goodbye but Tun En's order has a point as well. Our journey to the city of Gorbala, midway between Swen and Zoska. That's where this plan ends.

 

Mr. En has prepared everything, the article raiding the rebel headquarters is a secret plan. Neither the emperor nor any other officials knew, the news of the assault on our entourage may have reached the capital. Help must come soon, so we must arrive before it comes. Everything has been explained to me, Mr. En.

 

“ with this wound can be more convincing they will attack before”

“ what exactly is the attack is the master himself?”

“ I had time to plan it but I undo, who knows if my prediction happened,”

 “ after this I beg Mr. En be more careful, do not let this happen again”

“ you still think about Suki?”

“ she already I consider like a female kaka here”

“actually since you became a concubine, she has tried many times to tease me, thinking if she can keep the same position as mu”
