The figure of a man dressed in luxurious silk in light brown entered the hall where the emperor was. The man's age was currently at 42, his face a little rough and dark-colored due to undergoing the day in the harsh battleground. The man walked towards the center of the hall, then Berkowtow (fell to salute) to Emperor Yin. "Yin Xie is facing the Emperor Brother!"
Emperor Yin put down the report he was reading then turned his gaze to the youngest brother who controlled the military of his kingdom. "Wake up."
Yin Xie who had another name Prince Rui nodded and thanked the Emperor before standing firmly before his brother.
Emperor Yin sighed softly before saying his thoughts. "Rui, have you heard from Qin Province?"
Prince Rui nodded, "Hamba already heard from the Qin Province some time ago, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yin nodded, his gaze barging outwards staring at the cloudy sky signaling the snow was coming back down. Looking back at Prince Rui, Emperor Yin again said, "Among all the Princes and the Old Prince, you are the closest to Governor Qin. Qin Guan also helped you on the battlefield. Two more days go to Qin city and do what needs to be done. If something goes wrong you can handle it right away, if the pot gets too hot (a problem that can't be held) send a message to the empire."
Prince Rui berkowtow and thanked the emperor. "Yin Xie accepted the assignment from His Majesty, will give his best."
If emperor Yin did not order this to him, he took the initiative to ask permission to visit Qinzhou-Qin Province-to bring about the death of Governor Qin. Governor Qin was one of the people who taught Yin Xie on the battlefield when he was still a young general under General Wang. The brother's bond as a fellow soldier made Prince Rui moved to investigate this matter.
Emperor Yin smiled and felt relieved that his sister did not reject this order. In fact it was almost impossible given the closeness between Prince Rui, Qin Huang and Qin Guan.
Fifteen years ago, while Prince Rui was serving on the eastern border of Yin empire which was also the northern region of Qin Province, the Song empire attacked with a large army, numbering 120,000 people. The 70,000-strong border force began to be overwhelmed by the brutal onslaught of the Song empire.
The Qin region is a region with a strong military defense and has 300,000 great troops who are willing to die in order to maintain Qin sovereignty. Prince Rui sent a courier to Qin city to ask for help and got a satisfactory reply two days later.
On the seventh day after sending a reply, 100,000 Qin soldiers stormed from the opponent's blind spot and overran the Song formation that had troubled Yin's forces. More than 70,000 Song troops died and victory was achieved by Yin troops.
At the time of the attack, Qin forces were led by General Zhao Yun and Qin's second son Huang-Qin Guan - who was then seventeen years old. Bravely the young man raised his sword and slashed at every opponent he faced, within hours he was already bathed in the blood of Song troops.
In addition to aiding in the battlefield, Qin Guan with his intelligence helps Prince Rui and General Huaihuang - the leaders of the border forces - to reorganize the defenses. That was when Qin Guan's intelligence in analyzing the opponent's tactics and solving them was even praised by general Huaihuang.
After returning from the eastern border, Emperor Yin invited Qin Guan to the palace and gave him the title of Young General. For many years Qin Guan along with some of the Qin warriors guarded the eastern and southern borders of the Yin empire. Prince Rui occasionally helped Qin Guan and discussed many tactics together.
Therefore, when Qin Guan was destroyed like now, Prince Rui intended to come to encourage the young man.
Emperor Yin made a written edict to investigate the Qin governor's matter to the fullest and the decree was addressed to Prince Rui. In the next two days, Prince Rui went to visit Qin city with a dozen of his trusted warriors.

Other than the snow that kept falling, there were no significant obstacles for Di Min Jie and his entourage. It's just that, since they started the journey when the sun started high, at sunset they hadn't gone too far. But Di Min Jie was sure, if they continued to be consistent like this, then on the sixth day they had already reached Long Hong mountain and waited for Wang Tian Sin from that place.
Di Min Jie slowed down his horse's pace, circulating a glance to further examine the place. Land ramps and some large trees, but invisible springs in place to add water supply. However, Di Min Jie was also unsure if there was a nicer place ahead of this place, then ordered his soldiers to set up a tent.
At Min Jie dismounted from his horse, a soldier took the horse and tethered it to a tree with several other horses. Di Min Jie stood beside Long Tian's coffin, looking at her in silence and full of questions.
'Mr. Long is the fifth strongest in the martial world. His death was so quick but Young Master Wang had yet to investigate. Physician Yao also died before Master Long, what caused this disaster to come? Have they offended a big figure before? Aiya ... Why do I think like this?'
Di Min Jie sighed and averted his gaze, seeing his soldiers shoulder to shoulder setting up tents and making bonfires. A tent was already standing, a soldier reported if the tent belonged to Di Min Jie. Di Min Jie nodded and walked into the tent to calm down.
Two soldiers stood in front of Di Min Jie's tent to stand guard, while the other tents began to finish standing. They also heat the water to make tea. Arak-arak was removed with the dried meat they brought from Qin City.
The night began to approach, the soldiers stood guard by alternating until the sun rose again. Di Min Jie walked out of her tent with a fresh face. Looks like he took a good break last night.

Two days already Wang Tian Sin was fast asleep due to the potion from Physician Yan. The young man's face looked bright, no longer as pale as a few days before. Physician Yan examined Wang Tian Sin every few hours to make sure if the young man's condition improved.
Physician Yan summoned his trusted physician Yao Feng to Wang Tian Sin's room
"Prepare for an energy-boosting tonic, after which he awakens to ask her to drink it. If he wants to go after the troupe, then he can leave tomorrow morning."
Physician Yan also took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Yao Feng. "Give this to him when he's conscious."
Yao Feng received the letter with both his hands and immediately stored it inside the robe. "Does Master Yan want to leave immediately?"
Physician Yan nodded. Yao Feng again asked Physician Yan a question, "Where is your next destination?"
"Qinzhou."
For everything, I want to write a lot of words in a day, but what power I do not have is that ability. So, I just try to be consistent at least one chapter a day.
The novel is in the process of contracting, if everything goes smoothly, maybe the contract can go down soon. I also intend to submit an audiobook version and will be Dubbing myself.
Today is up 2 chapters because I am happy for whatever reason.
