The Flower Of War

Chapter 55: It's Not Gege's fault

The day had darkened and the moon in the sky was emitting its faint rays then slowly hiding behind the black clouds. Everything was dark and agitated mixed with a unique feeling.

Pleased and sad mixed in the container, rotating formed a chasm current in the middle of the meeting of the two.

Yiu slowly gained his consciousness, he opened his chocolate bead. A yellowish glare light began to penetrate into his small retina.

He coughed for a moment. His lungs were slightly congested and his head was spinning. He was too familiar with this pain.

Yiu threw out the last memory he remembered and understood that he was affected by the explosion back then.

He raised his manic and slowly saw the silhouette of someone rushing to sit nearby.

Unfocused eyesight, he saw one man's hand waving on his face. However, it was like seeing three hands and a faint face.

Yiu guessed he was Wu Xiao so quickly turned his face away.

"Go Wu Xiao, I'm fine. I can take care of myself."

The man's hand stretched out to touch his cheek, Yiu originally wanted to throw the hand away. However, the man's voice stopped his intention.

"A-Ying ...."

Yiu stiffened then tried to get some strength to sit up slowly while shaking his head a few times and ignoring the pungent smell of the familiar spice, trying to regain his sight. With his heart beating he dared to raise his face.

The blurred shadow became more and more apparent.

That expression ... cold and worried. Eyebrows and sharp eyes it ....

"Da Ge?"

Without a word, Yiu's body was pulled closer by the man. The man clenched Yiu too tightly making Yiu again feel claustrophobic.

However, the sense of tightness this time was different. This tightness killed the worry with a long yearning lodged in his heart.

They hugged for quite a while. After that, Yiu researched her brother's entire body.

"This is really *D*a Ge?"

"Mrs. It's me .... How you feeling? You should rest a few more days, A-Ying." Xiao Ce held onto Yiu's shoulder and duplicated his movements.

"I'm good, Ge. No need to worry. How did Gege get here? I went north to find Gege. Why don't you send me a letter, Ge?... I'm afraid something happened to you!"

Xiao Gie fell silent and lowered his head. "Father and mother died, the kingdom was taken, you are not clear of whereabouts, and we still have to run away from him. How you feeling?"

Also true. Why did I ask Gege to write me a letter? Things have changed, life and death in the same line. How can you exchange letters if you don't know if you're still opening your eyes or not. Is he alive or dead .... You idiot!

"It's not your fault, .. I shouldn't have trusted him and handed you over. My fault! Please forgive me for not taking care of my sister." Xiao Ce intended to kneel down below. However, it was detained by Yiu.

"It's not Gege's fault or mine. It's part destiny, Ge. Our task now is to fight with all our might to change this grim destiny."

Xiao Ce's expression was cold but his manic flashed faintly. Both felt the fate. Yiu re-embraced her brother's body and hugged him once more while muttering softly, "It's not Gege's fault, not Gege's."

A single tear of longing and cruel world slid down soaked Xiao Ce's cold face. He could not bear it anymore, the pain in his heart was too much pain that he felt nothing.

"Gege, he hurt me .. I'm home."

"There's Gege here. Gege will be the strongest shield for you, no one will hurt you anymore. You can calm down."

His heart warmed, his smile grew along with tears that he himself did not know why suddenly came out, but Yiu had promised there would be no more tears in his life.

Kriet's...

The door of the room opened, a handsome young man with a dusty white apron and the smell of spices that was pouring out all over his body immediately stepped in with a tray in his hand without excuse.

"A-yin? Are you awake?"

The two brothers who were taking off the longing looked at the same time.

Yiu took off a hug and exclaimed excitedly, "Huang Gege!"

Huang immediately ran over, put down the tray and immediately grabbed Yiu tightly.

"Thank God, .. I never thought I'd see my prettiest sister again."

"I can't guess whether Gege is praising me or mocking me."

Huang chuckled, he looked at Yiu's face fixedly before re-hugging her as if never satisfied.

"I had thought the news spreading about you from Bai Qing was the truth. However, I believe my sister is not that easy to conquer. Where might this scary face be coupled with the ferocious nature of the bus-"

Yiu quickly pushed Huang until he staggered slightly back. Yiu turned to look at Xiao Ce with a pouting face, "Gege, he also hurt me! She said I was pretty but after that I said that my face was scary and I was grumpy, mad at her!"

Xiao Ce shook his head slowly, lightly hitting his younger brother's head.

Huang felt a sense of disbelief and protested, "Da Ge, I am innocent! He pushed me but why did you hit me? Look at his face right now, laughing without sin!"

Yiu giggled with narrowed eyes, the warmth stirring in reviving his cold heart. He exclaimed in an angry tone but his face was smiling mixed with the mist of tears, "Where is there! Huang Ge lent me first!"

The two continued to quarrel, Xiao Ce who saw him felt anxious. Both of his hands extended out to embrace both of his shoulders and quickly covered the faces of his two younger siblings who had been constantly fighting.

Hugging the two on each of his shoulders with a cold face.

Huang wanted to return the strange embrace and catch his breath. However, ....

"Gege your hand stinks of onions!!!"

♣♦♣

Several days had passed since Bai Qing's army's arrival that day.

The world became even more chaotic thanks to the intervention of the Iron Hand, Liu Yu. All the countries on this land were no exception to the country of Liyu Feng felt his ruthless intent in mastering this far too vast land under his wings.

Since Hai Ran had made an expedition to Liyu Feng, making this place no longer safe for the three brothers who could now only rely on each other.

The three of them along with Wu Xiao and Prince Ming Zijing who also came with his father a few days ago are now escorting the three brothers to the north of Liyu Feng, his own country, Guang Ming.

After a discussion between the leaders of the country it was agreed that they secretly united forces under the banner of justice to reclaim Qiu Wang and bring down Bai Qing's authoritarian rule.

The three brothers boarded one carriage while Wu Xiao and Ming Zijing rode horses on the side of the carriage citing travel safety and preventing the real identity from leaking.

"Da Ge, Huang Ge, .. You haven't told me where you have been all this time" Yiu said with a familiar cold face.

The two Princes Qiu Wang exchanged looks. After a while Prince Huang sighed and began to speak, "I'll tell you but."

Flashback.

"A-Huang, I got word that Guang Ming troops carrying silver orders for your meimei wedding have arrived at the capital. Will you go and greet them?"

Prince Huang drove his horse out of the palace with a dozen warriors towards the capital's gate. After waiting for some time, a group of horsemen wearing white armor and three carts loaded with wooden boxes were seen from a distance.

The front row saw one person dressed conspicuously with a face as cold and as beautiful as a perfectly sculpted jade statue. He seems to be the leader of the group.

"Prince Ming Zijing. Welcome to the Capital of Qiu Wang, Prince."

"Thank you for the welcome, Prince Huang. I got a messenger to escort this order to get here safely."

The two princes from the two coalition countries crossed the busy streets of the capital casually.

After delivering a wedding order and sending a wedding gift from Guang Ming, the troops led by Prince Ming Zijing rested for several days in the royal guest room.

That day Prince Ming Zijing decided to take a short walk in the capital market with Prince Huang.

They bought some tea and snacks typical of hawker market, actually not them but Prince Huang himself who shopped a wide variety of snacks.

That bright afternoon suddenly turned dark, cloudy clouds covered the sunlight.

Ambience changed.

The small stones of the street trembled small under the feet of the two. The vibration was too small that an ordinary person would not notice it. However, the two princes who were often involved in the battle could feel the strong tremors.

Prince Huang's bead was patterned, immediately kneeling then bending down to stick his earlobe on the stone road.

His expression turned tense. Prince Ming Zijing who was beside him was astonished. "What's wrong?"

"I heard the clattering of footsteps and also the stern horse shoes... It should have been a troupe but! Lothawat! Something's not right! Back to the palace!"

The troops who came were not known where they came from. They were too late to realize this and there was no time to gather an army to stand guard in front of the gate.

Can only hold them for a while then see if they are enemies or comrades.

Near the Qiu City Gate was seen a war-clothed army of nearly seven hundred red-flagged men with the inscription "Bai Qing Liu" seen running towards the city gate.

Without a word of negotiation in the slightest, they directly fought with the gate guard troops, as it appeared ... they were so outnumbered that they freely entered the city and caused chaos at every turn of the road to the palace.

They do not hesitate to beat and even kill civilians indiscriminately in order to cause fear and noise. Their troops spread out on almost every street, damaging and killing people they met.

The troops finally reached the heart of the city, Qiu Wang Palace. The leader of the army was Hai Ran, with a cold expression of disdain he advanced to the front row of the troops.

In front of the palace gate there were already many gallant marches of Qiu Wang's soldiers and martial figures in the city, not least Prince Huang.

"Please! How dare you kill innocent citizens!" prince Huang.

"Aaa .. forgive this lowly courtesy, Your Majesty," Hai Ran replied in a polite tone.

"What do you mean you came here?! Where's mister? Where's sister? Why attack my people?!"

"Calm down, Prince. Your poor sister is safe with my master, my strong master is kind enough to keep her from the deaths you will face today."

"Fuck up! What do you mean?!" Prince Huang ride apitam.

"Isn't it clear? But it's okay, I'll repeat. We're here well-intentioned to lead you to your next reincarnation."

"Bad! Attack squad!"

A fierce battle was seen, the sound of the sword clinking into the remaining singing, a small red-colored river was created in the fight this time with a corpse full of wounds as a stone decoration times to complement the rushing river of blood.

The situation was getting chaotic with the depletion of the Qiu Wang Army which was indeed outnumbered from the beginning.

Prince Huang himself had already been injured in several of his bodies. However, his fighting strength did not weaken in the slightest.

Quickly the Bai Qing army broke through the gate and began searching for the royal family in every intricacy of the kingdom. However, there was no finding any royal family left.

Hai Ran started to get agitated, surely they came out through the secret passage!

On the other hand, Prince Huang was already barely strong raising his sword even to stand alone he started to stagger weakly.

Finally he fell down, lucky Prince Ming Zijing came out of hiding in time and by running as fast as the wind on his horse he reached for Prince Huang's weak body and took him away to the nearest gate.

His face was covered in a white robe that fluttered beautifully, he sat the body of Prince Huang in front of him. His right hand held the sword while his left hand held the horse's harness.

Prince Ming Zijing slashed dozens of heads at every step of his way out of the city.

Prince Hwang still had his faint consciousness and he said weakly on the horse that kept running, "Stop! Back back! I have to go back! The traitor cannot take my family!"

"I've evacuated your family outside the capital, they should have been safe. Hang on, we'll catch up with them."

Hearing that, Prince Huang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and instantly fell down losing all of his consciousness.

Outside the city, Shui Forest was in the northwest of Qiu Wang. Prince Ming Zijing pierced through the dense forest of leaves falling there tirelessly.

However, he found it strange why he did not immediately encounter horses belonging to the emperor and other royal members.

Are they really able to run that fast on such a difficult terrain?, he thought.

Not long after he heard someone's voice cry out with a hint of laughter mixed in that faint tone.

Prince Ming Zijing was on high alert and immediately slowed down his horse. He sent down Prince Huang who was still unconscious, leaning him under a large tree with his horse.

Then he walked towards the direction of the laughing voice that was echoing in the forest. It looks like about one *platoon and they form a circle as if surrounding something.

*Peleton\= troops consisting of 30-50 troops and usually formed from 3-4 squads.

Ming Zijing could not see who was at the center of the circle so decided to climb a tree whose leaves were still thick and not too dry to fall considering this was autumn.

Carefully climb the mangnolia trees and see all from a distance. His bead was patterned and his body was petrified immediately after learning that three people were kneeling surrounded by swords, their backs facing Ming Zijing but he knew who the three people were.

While the man who stood gallantly in front of them in luxurious clothes stared full of horrifying laughter.

"It was not in vain that I visited a few days at Qiu Wang back then. Your country is very rich and very easy to break into, I want to laugh .... Take the poison!"

Afterwards, Ming Zijing closed his eyes reluctantly, unable to see the scene that followed.

The three people were made up of two men, young and middle-aged, as well as one middle-aged woman who kept coughing without stopping. The longer the louder the sound of the cough was accompanied by the smell of rusty iron felt in their taste senses.

The two middle-aged men and women finally coughed up blood continuously. The woman held onto her heart that felt like it was being torn apart and then collapsed to the ground.

While the bodies of the two men were already full of sword incision wounds, it seems that before reaching the scene now there was a battle scene that started their meeting and now the wound was getting worse.

The man in golden yellow clothes in black robes embroidered with golden dragon patterns laughed again and his laughter hardened even more.

"Qiu Wang is in my hands now!"
