The Flower Of War

Chapter 10: Short-Sightedness

Yiu was surprised when he saw Yuwen standing not far from his place and looking at him enigmatic.

How could he recognize me?.

Yiu did not realize that now the big hat he used to cover his face had been on his neck due to a fall during a fight and the rope of the hat was on Yiu's neck.

"I challenge you to fight Zhou Li" Yiu did not respond to Yuwen's statement, he still faithfully stood stiff in his place.

A hard blow struck Yiu's stomach, as Yiu regained his senses from his daydream.

Bugh..

Yiu grimaced with the pain in his stomach, feeling angry because without aba Yuwen kicked hard his stomach Yiu attacked Yuwen blindly.

Yuwen admitted that he was overwhelmed by Yiu's attacks, but that he could still keep up with Yiu's resistance.

Since they were just as powerful finally to add to the heat of the fight, the host threw 2 pieces of swords towards Yiu and Yuwen.

Yuwen quickly took one sword and attacked Yiu who was still trying to reach the sword on the ground not far from its place and pushed Yiu's body down.

Yuwen thrust his sword down directly above Yiu, but deftly Yiu dodged and took his sword.

The sword fight between Yiu and Yuwen was inevitable, Yiu grinned because he was happy he did not need to spend a lot of energy when playing the sword in contrast to the fight with his bare hands which drained Yiu enough energy.

The clangs of the sword that continued to sound increasingly made the people who watched their fight clack in admiration for their skill in playing the sword.

Yuwen pointed his sword towards Yiu's neck and quickly repelled Yiu and he twisted his sword so that Yuwen's sword almost slipped out of his grasp and Yiu quickly hit Yuwen's arm.

As a result Yuwen's sword fell and now Yiu's sword was perched sweetly on Yuwen's shoulder preparing to scratch Yuwen's smooth neck.

Everyone applauded when they saw Yiu win the fight.

"We have got a new Champion tonight and Mr. Zhou has become the future Commander of the Principality Zhang Wu and will demonstrate his abilities directly before Emperor Wu Zhang.. Congratulations to you, Swordsman Zhou"

Yiu had touched on how he could tomorrow meet the Emperor with this disguise, she was a Princess of Qiu Wang Kingdom and she would definitely not be able to become the warlord of this Kingdom.

Due to Yiu's stubborn and clever nature, Yiu's automatic strategy can figure out how to stay in the fight tomorrow.

But when he will be appointed as commander he will say he only wants to be free and does not want to side with any kingdom easy is not it?.

You're very clever Yiu. Inner Yiu praised himself while grinning.

The cheers of the audience grew boisterous as a result of the pleasure of having a prospective commander who could be said to be quite handsome and the girls there began to seek attention from Yiu to get close to him but of course Yiu did not pay attention they hey he's still sane huh!.

Yiu thrust out his right hand which Yuwen immediately reached.

They walked together out of the arena of the fight stepped into a tavern to just drink chatting and enjoy the atmosphere of celebration with the accompaniment of traditional music.

This music really makes me sleepy, I think there will be music games and people who dance like crazy but it turns out this music is a very smooth bedtime music. Can I request the Chinese version of Martin Garrix-Tremor song here?

"You're so great Zhou Li I'm so proud of you, how come you're here?" yuwen's remark spread Yiu's strange thoughts.

"I was walking down the street here and accidentally heard there was going to be a celebration here and I decided to stop by here for a while "

"But wait for Yuwen then why are you here too?"

"I'm just a commoner who happens to live here as well" said Yuwen, who was only taken by Yiu, who sipped his tea.

"Egh Zhou Li can I ask you something?" Yuwen said as he looked at Yiu clingy who was taken in by Yiu.

"What does that letter mean? Ok and bi.. Yiie.. Whatever it is I don't understand what it means"

Yiu held back a silent laugh at the look on Yuwen's innocent face that looked off.

"That's the language of another planet in the future you just give the paper to your grandson and have your grandson give it to his grandson again and give it to his grandson again surely your 10th descendant will understand the purpose of my words were "Yiu chuckled and looked at Yuwen who was even more agitated, Yiu's laughter broke out instantly.

"Akhh I don't even understand we're changing topics. Speaking of which after this where are you going?"

Yiu was slightly surprised by Yuwen's question, he hid his surprise.

"Ehh.. Oh, I'm gonna rent a room in the inn around here to take a break and continue tomorrow."

"How about you just stay at my house?"

Whahuh? You must be crazy!!.

"No need I still have the money supply so take it easy"

"Hmm well I'll be back at my house in the middle of the night and it'll get colder.. Ah yes I will come to your fight tomorrow and you will definitely recognize me there Zhou Li"

Is my guess right?

Yiu had not yet raised a question to Yuwen the man was already invisible to the trunk of his nose.

"Basic crazy guy.. It's getting cold I need to get back before it's freezing to death and someone suspects that I'm running away again"

Yiu walked quickly through the celebration that looked almost deserted because the people were starting to return to their respective homes, there were only a few traders who were clearing their wares and soldiers who appeared and then monitored the situation to stay safe.

Yiu sneaked into the pavilion where he slept during his time in the kingdom.

Silently Yiu entered through the window of the room that was directly connected to the front garden where Yiu was standing.

Yiu changed his clothes as fast as he could, slowly laying down in his bed and immediately headed towards dreamland.

He knows for sure now his two brothers are drunk heavily if you think with logic in this era it is impossible for someone to hold a party without wine.

♣♦♣

Unlike usual, Yiu this time woke up late maybe because he was exhausted from forcing himself last night, the sun had shown all its rays in the morning and the morning dew was still a little felt.

Yiu immediately began his ritual every morning and prepared himself because today's event was to watch the performances and skills of Zhang Wu's palace members as well as the expertise of his people.

Not to forget Yiu also sneaked a man's hanfu under his clothes, he might forget his schedule that would fight with the Commander and General and witnessed directly by the Emperor of this kingdom, he was very enthusiastic about this.

Not long after the Crown Prince came to Yiu's pavilion.

"Are you ready?" said the Son with a face as flat as a rinse board, Yiu nodded his head.

The two of them walked together towards the quite spacious royal hall. Upon entering the room Yiu and the Crown Prince were directed by a royal eunuch towards 2 empty tables and beside the table was seen Prince Huang sitting first while staring at the arrival of the two.

Yiu sat between Prince Huang and the Crown Prince, his seat to the right of the royal Zhang Wu signifies he is an honorable noble family and if seated on the left of the Emperor is an important person in the Kingdom either the host or the invited guest.

From there Yiu could see clearly the dancers who were dancing showed his talent in front of the Emperor who also seemed to smile at their appearance.

Followed by the music games of the youth and also some performances that really amaze the invited guests.

Yiu who realized in a moment was his turn began to launch his sick temple action.

Yiu's face slightly made sluggish and lethargic, the look in his eyes he made empty and he quietly put the cup filled with hot tea to the forehead so that he seemed to be feverish.

"Prince may I return to my pavilion? I don't feel well" Yiu said with a sluggish face as possible.

"You look pale Yiu, you're hot too it turns out okay go back to your pavilion I'll drive you" prince Huang said as he pressed the back of his hand against Yiu's forehead and held Yiu's hand to escort him back to Pavilium.

"No need prince I'll be back with Chi chi, please, he'll also take care of me there you stay here with the Crown Prince so that His Majesty the Emperor is not offended for thinking we don't like his banquet"

Prince Huang seemed to weigh Yiu's words and a split second Huang nodded confirming his brother's words.

Before standing Yiu was also bidding farewell to Crown Prince Xiao, and the Crown Prince only told him to rest without intending to offer to drive Yiu back like Prince Huang. That's what Yiu wanted!

Yiu stood up and withdrew from the event, after exiting the hall, he and Chi chi immediately went to a quiet place and changed clothes.

Yiu changed into an ordinary man with a big hat made of rattan that covered his face while Chi Chi who used the Princess' clothes but with the addition of a veil.

They have agreed to carry out this plan, yes although you know for sure Chi chi chi will strongly reject the actions of the princess, but he is just a servant who must obey all the words of the princess.

Yiu walked leisurely towards the palace hall when he arrived at the main door he handed the jade as an identifying mark that the host had yesterday given to Yiu so that he could enter the palace hall.

Yiu went inside and headed for an empty seat right at the bottom of the seats of state officials, waiting his turn to address his fighting skills.

"The audience let's welcome the last show and test our commander-in-chief candidate who managed to defeat 50 young men his age alone.. We welcome Mr Zhou"

A eunuch who was also in charge of hosting the show shouted loudly announcing the show at the top of the show.

Enthusiastic spectators saw the show applauding while cheering. The Emperor and the Princes smiled faintly at Yiu's arrival from the corner of the arena.

Yiu entered the battle arena and greeted the Emperor with a friendly smile then the Princes, the royal members and all the invited guests.

Finished saluting, Yiu turned his body and looked at his opponent who was already standing while holding 2 swords and threw one towards Yiu who was quickly captured by Yiu.

"Pregnant.... Dii fight...start!!"
