The Flower Of War

Chapter 9: Re-Meeting

The sun began to show its rays, white clouds that seemed to decorate the blue sky, birds chirping cheerfully welcome the arrival of the morning.

Yiu, Prince Huang, and Son of Makhota, along with several soldiers and maids were preparing for their departure to Zhang Wu Kingdom.

Yiu looks graceful with a dark purple hanfu with a small bun on the head decorated with a small silver crown and flower ornaments haired near the ears the rest is left unraveled.

While Prince Huang wears a white hanfu clad in black armor with gold ornaments and hair that is tucked slightly messy which further adds to his handsome impression.

While the Crown Prince wears a black hanfu with a golden goose motif, the Crown Prince looks very gallant and authoritative behind his super cold attitude.

After saying goodbye to the Emperor and Empress they traveled to Zhang Wu Kingdom with a fairly long travel time of about half a day.

And for the reason why Yiu could be allowed to leave by the Emperor, because he had already explained to them what happened last night.

Of course Yiu lied he was very good at making tactics so for the problem of making excuses he was very professional, he was very good at making tactics, and as usual the Emperor and the Empress believed in Yiu's lies especially with the false testimony of Chi chi chi. Basic Yiu.

The Crown Prince and Prince Huang rode on their own horses while Yiu was on the carriage accompanied by an army of horsemen riding around him.

Feeling bored, Yiu finally chose to sleep on the way to Emperor Zhang Wu's palace.

Now Yiu had been in the pavilium which had been reserved for his place to stay during his guest stay in Zhang Wu Kingdom.

The bead looked at every corner of the room he occupied, this room was very comfortable coupled with ornaments from wood decorating every corner of this room and fragrant room that smelled of cinnamon increasingly intoxicating Yiu.

Soon the dinner party will begin with Yiu getting ready as he waits for Prince Huang and the Crown Prince to come pick him up.

Not long after, the Crown Prince and Prince Huang came and now they had walked towards the room where the dinner banquet was held.

They were seated separately because the table between the male and female nobles was separated. Yiu was a little awkward sitting next to the noble princesses who he thought were very graceful compared to her.

It's not that he's embarrassed that he always escapes the lessons of a noble princess and he's afraid that he'll embarrass his two brothers here.

Hey wait a minute where is your uncaring nature? Why do you think of other people's responses to you you're stupid or forgetful yiu?!

Yiu was shocked to discover his daydream when he heard a eunuch shouting loudly to inform him that Emperor Wu Zhang and his family members had entered.

The invited guests stood up to greet the host, then sat back down after the Emperor and his family members had sat in their seats and let the invited guests enjoy the banquet.

All the eyes of the noble princess stared at the 3 princes who were sturdy, gallant, looking very dignified and the perfect sculptures on their faces added to her perfect impression.

The noble princesses stared in awe at the Princes hoping to get the attention of one of them but was different from Yiu.

It was true that Yiu had looked at one of the princes but not because of his face but he seemed to have seen the prince's face in the middle before, especially the dark green bead that was very familiar to him.

Who's the guy? I felt like I was no stranger to his face.. Is he Yuwen? Well his face was very similar to that crazy man.

While being cool to daydream while staring at the prince who was sitting casually in his chair by holding a cup filled with tea, the Prince who Yiu assumed was Yuwen accidentally bead they met.

The flat face that was originally attached to the prince's face that Yiu looked at now began to look smooth strokes as he looked at Yiu.

Realizing from his daydream, Yiu turned his face away, cutting off eye contact between the two of them.

Yiu tries to twist the memory of her escaping from the palace and meeting a crazy man at the lantern festival.

There was no way that he was Yuwen, he was a prince and Yuwen was just an ordinary young man and maybe they were just similar and not the same person. But it does not rule out the possibility if he is disguised, right? Arghhh what's wrong with you Yiu.

Yiu tried to think positively but failed to continue guessing whether the Prince was Yuwen or not, and Yiu tried to behave as usual during the event.

The night was getting late, now it was time to go to the top of the event, the princes and male nobles were directed towards a special room for the match area to be played.

And the noble women were directed towards a large hall with several chairs surrounding several tables and plinths, on the table was a tea cup on the table.

Yiu quietly broke away from the crowd of nobles and walked towards the dark hallway, immediately changing into the clothes of the man hanfu he had hidden behind his long hanfu.

When he was about to go silent he got some invitations to chat together with some noble daughters but as much as possible Yiu rejected it subtly.

After changing into an ordinary folk outfit and wearing a big hat to cover his face, Yiu accidentally crosses paths with ordinary people who also walk towards the front yard of the palace there where the celebration for ordinary people and Yiu was stalking behind him so that no one suspected that he was a noble.

For the celebration this time the people are allowed to enter the palace environment but the guard there is tightened to avoid enemies who might be able to infiltrate.

Her sparkling manicure had her smile clearly blossomed as she entered the celebration area.

Yiu went around carrying two takhulu in his hands like a child, Yiu accidentally heard someone shouting in a loud voice not far from where he stood.

When he heard the word 'fight' somehow his hands felt itchy to hit people. After all, his body must always be forced to fight hard so that his slashing power increases, the more often he fights the better.

Without thinking his legs moved towards the crowd of people who also wanted to see the fight and thrust into the crowd.

Yiu was right behind the rope barrier of the fighting arena, there were already two young men who were one of ideal stature and another of stout stature who were busy fighting against each other.

Before long the ideal man was already sprawled on the ground with blood pouring profusely on his body and several bruises from the blow of the burly man.

"You are all weak!! I'm the strongest I'm invincible come on big-spirited men try to fight me invincible" the burly man shouted at his bragging and it made Yiu even more fed up with his attitude.

"Don't big head old bangka first!!"

All eyes around the fighting arena looked at Yiu with shocked eyes.

Jumping over the barrier rope, Yiu moved closer to the burly man who was looking at him lightly.

"Ohh want to be a hotshot you're a young man? With this little body of yours are you sure you can beat me?, son, you better go home and go back to nursing your mother"

The burly man laughed after mocking Yiu followed by the laughter of the surrounding spectators.

Yiu did not feel offended at all he even grinned behind his big hat.

"We'll see who's gonna be the winner of old bangka"

The burly man growled furiously as he quickly raised a fist towards Yiu who quickly dodged.

Yiu hit the man's right waist and the man appeared to be slightly in pain from Yiu's punch, unceasingly Yiu kicked the man's belly into a tubi until the man fell down.

After waiting for the man to stand up, Yiu quickly showered a punch towards the man's face.

When going to hit the man's face for the umpteenth time his body was pushed back and fell due to the blow from the man.

Holding his chest tightness, Yiu ran up to the man about to kick his face but failed because his legs were first caught and thrown to the ground.

The man was about to hit Yiu who had already fallen to the ground but quickly Yiu rolled dodging the man's blow.

Yiu tried to stand up, then the man slapped a punch towards Yiu's face, and then, yiu quickly caught the man's fist and hit the man's arm and elbowed the man's chin then his finger hit the man's ear so he lost focus.

Looking relaxed, Yiu kicked the man's chest with his feet, the man collapsed unconscious.

The entire audience was shocked when the defending champion, whose famous name as a great swordsman, was defeated by a mysterious man.

"Yaaaa it turns out we have a new champion that is mister.." the host glanced at Yiu for a moment. "Master Zhou" Yiu replied casually.

"Include our new champion Mr. Zhou.. Is there still anyone who wants to fight against our new champion who has managed to fight the defending champion?"

Many young men ended up trying to fight Yiu out of curiosity how could a young man like him manage to defeat a mighty great warrior.

But the fate of all the young men who fought Yiu eventually fared the same, namely battered.

"Does anyone still want to fight our defending champion Swordsman Zhou?"

Everyone fell silent no one else dared to go against Yiu. Almost two incense burning Yiu waited for the next opponent but no one dared to fight him.

"If it's gone then we've found a future warlord in Zhang's Kingdom, congratulations to you.."

"Wait!!"

Not yet had the host finish his words arrived the voice of a man who came from behind Yiu attracted the attention of the entire audience including Yiu who looked back.

"I want to challenge you to fight with me Swordsman Zhou" the young man with a proportional posture, strapping with a perfect face sculpture plus dark green beads that intoxicate every eye that sees it even though the clothes he wears are just like ordinary men's clothes.

The host seemed surprised and ran a little closer to the young man and whispered something to him.

"Prince why you're here shouldn't you be in the battle of the nobles"

"I'm tired of nobles who keep bragging about themselves and trying to curry favor with the Emperor with their talent, anyway, I'd like to walk for a while here, but it seems I'm interested in testing how worthy he is to be the commander-in-chief of this kingdom"

The host retreated while bowing allowing them to fight.

"Yuwen?"

"Hi Zhou Li we meet again apparently" The man let out his smirk seeing Yiu's shock.
