The Flower Of War

Chapter 11: Disassembled Already

Yiu attacked his opponent who was a man in his 30s and dressed like a court soldier who had the rank.

Yiu did not have to worry about being recognized by Prince Huang or Crown Prince because the nobles could only see from the top corner instead of parallel to his place so that his big hat could cover Yiu's face completely from above.

Yiu forgot that the elder brother also brought some soldiers from their Kingdom who were now standing to see the match on the east side of the field.

No sound could be heard filling the palace hall other than the sound of the clanking of swords between the two of them.

Yiu attacked nimbly and occasionally performed trick moves to trick the opponent into letting the opponent off guard. That has become his trademark.

The soldier seemed overwhelmed by Yiu's attack, as evidenced by the many wounds that resulted from Yiu's sword strokes hitting him.

It didn't take long for Yiu to defeat his opponent, after the first opponent was taken out of the arena there entered a man dressed as a valiant warlord.

Highlighting the eyes of the opponent seemingly trying to intimidate Yiu, Yiu only smiled wryly.

The second fight also happened this time Yiu seemed relaxed facing the opponent and it did not take long Yiu managed to make the opponent collapse.

The Emperor smiled proudly at the ability of Mr. Zhou who was able to outwit opponents with his sword moves that arrived.

This time Yiu's third opponent looked more gallant and looked like a valiant knight, Yiu guessed that maybe he was an Assistant General seen from the way he dressed a little similar to a General.

Yiu's opponent this time seems more trained than the previous opponent, Yiu admitted his sword game is very fast so he was a little overwhelmed at the beginning but still able to compensate.

Yiu's sword had fallen due to his lack of focus, he instead thought about the food he would eat after this due to accidentally smelling the aroma of very delicious cuisine made his focus disappear for a moment and fell along with his sword that was thrown far away.

Because it was thrown away from its reach inevitably Yiu had to fight with his bare hands and at least try to find an opportunity to take his sword lying on the ground.

The battle grew hotter as Yiu fought the sword-wielding opponent with her bare-handed self, everyone thought Yiu would lose this unbalanced fight.

But their guess was wrong, Yiu lowered his head to avoid the sword slash quickly Yiu rolled and then floated a kick in front of the opponent to retreat a few steps due to the rigidity of the kick.

Yiu quickly got up and held the opponent's right wrist, Yiu jumped until his legs were on the opponent's shoulders with his head down and turned his body which made the opponent's body overturned and fell on the ground even almost out of breath due to Yiu's leg lock and Yiu's body now oppresses himself. No point in his life he learned a little wrestling.

All the pairs of eyes that watched the fight were amazed and some of them could not believe what had happened in the fight there.

Yiu grinned at the helplessness of his opponent. He was no match for Yiu at all even if he used a weapon and he only used his bare hands that would not be able to defeat him that easily.

The Emperor smiled brightly, he would give an opponent who might match Mr. Zhou and if he could defeat him he would instantly be appointed the Great General of the Kingdom.

"Master Zhou's amazing fight, you're very good at swordplay and I'm very proud of you, because of your victory I will give you one more opponent if you can defeat him there will be a much bigger prize than the position of commander"

Yiu did not budge, he was a little confused because obviously he would reject the position because he was a Princess and there was no way he would reveal his identity in front of everyone.

Yiu had not yet answered the words of the Emperor, a man who was the Great General of the Principality Zhang Wu entered into the battle arena, and, Yiu knew that because he himself introduced himself when entertaining the nobles at the dinner.

Inevitably Yiu had to fight him, Yiu walked up to take his sword that had fallen to the ground in the previous fight.

The general attacked first, Yiu repelled every attack that led to him, he seemed overwhelmed by the General whose movements were so fast and sometimes illegible.

Yiu did not stay silent by just fending off his attack, he looked serious with his fight this time, Yiu pointed his sword towards the stomach and easily the General avoided him.

Yiu turned around and carried out 2 slashes towards his right arm and neck quickly, almost illegible to the General.

Now Yiu's sword is directly under the General's chin if the General moves just a little then his life will be lost.

The emperor, the invited guest, the lady-in-waiting, the soldiers, all of whom were watching were stunned and held their breath for a moment.

They were a little in disbelief that Mr. Zhou could defeat the Great General of the Principality Zhang Wu who was famous for being very adept at sword fighting.

The momentary silence that enveloped the palace hall now shifted with boisterous applause and cheers from the invited guests as well as the people watching.

"Congratulations Zhou Li, I will take you up and serve you as the successor to the Great General of the Kingdom in place of the Great General Sin who will soon be retired from office"

Yiu who heard the words of the Emperor lowered his sword and walked closer to the Emperor he immediately bowed his respect to the Emperor, he was about to refuse the Emperor's offer.

But a voice interrupted Yiu who was about to speak.

"I'm sorry for my kindness, Your Majesty, but with a heavy heart Mr. Zhou Li cannot accept the position you have given him because he is part of the Qiu Wang Royal family. He is my brother His Majesty"

Yiu's body stiffened instantly like a flash of lightning in his body. His head was raised to look at the side and found the body of a young man in a luxurious noble outfit and a face and voice that was very familiar to him.

Degs..

Crown Prince?!...

Not only was the Emperor shocked but all the members of the kingdom and everyone was also shocked as a result of the statement of the Crown Prince of Qiu Wang Kingdom.

The smile that had been raised on the Emperor's face was now changed with a stern look and a sharp look of eyes looked at Yiu as if asking for an explanation for all this.

"I'm sorry Your Honor, I've wanted to convey this since the beginning of the game but always failed to forgive me Your Majesty"

Yiu knelt down, but he placed his left hand on the ground with his right leg supporting Yiu's right hand.

The Emperor took Yiu's words and finally agreed to forgive Yiu's actions because he was the prince of one of the great Kingdoms of the land, and allow him to return to his pavilion because the event for this afternoon has ended. The fight was the closing part of today's event.

♣♦♣

Now Yiu was walking hand in hand with the Crown Prince and Prince Huang towards the Crown Prince's pavilions, it was impossible if Yiu who was still dressed as a male was brought into the princess pavilion with his two older brothers.

No one opened their voices from earlier making the atmosphere even more awkward between Yiu and these two brothers.

This time Yiu ventured to open his voice first.

"eeee... Prince how can you recognize my disguise?" Yiu looked at the Crown Prince a little scared because the nature of the older brother was so unpredictable.

The Crown Prince did not immediately answer Yiu's question, he continued to walk like he did not pay attention to Yiu's question. Feeling no response back to his head.

"Ask it to Huang" a short, densely clear and cold enough to represent the answer to Yiu's question to the Crown Prince.

Yiu was silent for a moment then slowly but surely turned his head towards Prince Huang who was on the left side of Yiu.

"I won't be fooled a second time" Flat cold, prince Hwang's aura changed 180° from the usual jail and fond of teasing Yiu now turned quiet and every word he spoke was able to make Yiu shudder in horror.

Arriving at the Crown Prince's pavelium, Yiu and his two brothers sat face to face in a chair in the middle of which there was a small table in the middle of the room.

Yiu tried to be calm and still showed a flat face behind her fear due to the deathly gaze for her from her two brothers.

Maybe the nature of the original Princess Ying slowly began to mix with the nature of Yiu even though it only applies to her two brothers only.

"Now Ying explained to us, how did you get to fight below?"

"I'm sorry to worry you but I'm just bored to sit and talk to the other princesses who only discuss jewelry and their high social status so they should be respected by other nobles, it makes me so sick"

The Crown Prince and Prince Huang were unmoved, they stared intently at Yiu looking for lies in his eyes but they did not encounter any lies.

"That means after the dinner last night you ran away and went undercover and fought tough men who were also fighting for the position of warlord in celebration for the people?"

Jack points!! Crown Prince's statement is on target.

"Eeegh.. Yes prince but I just want to relax my stiff muscles and I guess the fight is just an ordinary fight not a fight for the position of the royal commander"

"Since when have you been good at fighting and using weapons?"

"Eghhh I kept silent always saw the soldiers practicing and then characterize themselves in the room" Yiu said lying, it is impossible for him to say that he is from the future and is a commander of the war forces, he would definitely be labeled a madman.

"This is the last time I warn you Ying so that you will no longer be careless and try to run away secretly, otherwise I will not hesitate to give you a cruel punishment, remember it is Ying"

The Crown Prince's words successfully made Yiu tremble with fear but Yiu tried to remain calm despite his head being bowed and his hand squeezing his hanfu.

"I'm sorry" Yiu said softly.

"Here you go, sister, I'm sure A-Ying won't do it again and I promise to keep an eye on A-Ying."

Prince Huang began to pity the face of Yiu who was frightened due to the brother's tantrums.

A soldier approached the Crown Prince and told him that Prince Wu Xiao of Zhang Wu wanted to see Yiu.

The Crown Prince nodded and opened the door of the room, on the side of the door was a silhouette of a man whose face was familiar to Yiu but strange, he was not a man Yiu knew because the man was dressed like a Prince.

Degs..

Who her?
