The Secret of the Princess
#76
No one knew, when Zhaoyang brought Fang Hua with his carriage.In addition to Ping, Fai, the,there were several shadow guards belonging to Emperor Wen (Except for people who went to the palace to report to Emperor Wen) following them from a distance.The shadow guards belonging to Emperor Wen were in their rear position.
When they stopped, Ping wanted to pee.The shadow guards of Emperor Wen were confused.At first the guards of the shadow emperor Wen was about to stop following them or divide them into 2 groups, he said, one group followed them, while the other group followed Zhaoyang's chariot, but remembering Emperor Wen's order to follow Fang Hua, they continued to follow Zhaoyang's chariot and ignored the three of them.
When Zhaoyang's horse-drawn carriage stopped near a lush tree and near the river (#73).They followed Zhaoyang and Fang Hua secretly with a closer distance than before.It made them able to see Fang Hua's face very clearly.They were surprised to see him,some of them argue with each other.
"Did you see it?!!!She is so beautiful!!!Is she really Her Highness the Crown Princess?!"
"But...The chairman himself said it..."
"But don't people say she's an ugly girl!"
"Yes...Some say she's an ugly girl...Because his face was full of pus and pimples!"
"Hey!Don't so...He might have healed!!That's why she's beautiful..."
"Where it might be healed....I heard she's been on medication, but she's not healing..."
"Isn't she the physician Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is called...I think he's a real healer"
"Yes...Looks like we were wrong...!How about we end up here"
"Yes...Time she was beautiful..!No way!!"
"It seems like we're wrong people..."
Then one of the people firmly said"What do you mean?!The chairman has lied to us?!That's what you mean?!!He himself infiltrated and listened to their conversation to ascertain who the girl was!!!After all, she is Her Highness the Crown Princess or not...Shouldn't we be watching him??Because it is our job...If anything is suspicious, we must follow it according to the orders of His Majesty the Emperor...If you don't want to...You can quit this job, now!!!"
The man named Yelu, he was a friend and confidant of the head of the shadow guard Emperor Wen.
As Zhaoyang waited for Fang Hua, they also waited.A bored, tired, and annoyed feeling enveloped them.
Until Zhaoyang approached the grass and found the fact that Fang Hua had escaped.They gaped unexpectedly.They then argued again.
"Aren't we watching him together...Why isn't he there?!"
"Yes...I didn't even take my eyes off anywhere!Wh-how could it?!"
"Before she is Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess or not...It's very scary isn't it...He just disappeared...Are we gonna go look for him?"
"How to find him??He just disappeared somewhere...Where are you looking?Let's see for ourselves...He didn't come out of the grass..."
"How is this Yelu?!What are we supposed to do?!"
Yelu then thought for a moment.Then he said"We just follow His Majesty Emperor Xia...Even so, one must have told the chairman"
..........
After learning that Fang Hua had escaped, Zhaoyang decided to return to his carriage.
Zhaoyang's adjutant was puzzled to see Zhaoyang return with a sour face and without Fang Hua by his side.He also questioned whose clothes His Majesty the Emperor brought in his arms.
"His Majesty the Emperor...
Where is Her Majesty the Queen...??"asked Zhaoyang's aide with a head scratch.
Zhaoyang did not answer his aide's question, he instead said coldly"Continue the journey"
"Look at the reaction of Her Majesty the Emperor so.It seems like Her Majesty the Queen ran away again...
Really slippery like an eel!"said Zhaoyang's aide.
Zhaoyang got on the horse carriage and sat down.
"You want him to run away everywhere!He will definitely come to my kingdom!
And at that time...Don't expect to escape again!!!"said Zhaoyang in his eyes annoyed, tightly grasping the outer clothes that Fang Hua left behind.
A few minutes later Zhaoyang and Emperor Wen's shadow bodyguard who followed him from a distance reached Xia kingdom.
Arriving at the palace, Zhaoyang then entered his residence, while Yelu and others watched Zhaoyang from outside the palace while waiting for their chairman to come.

In addition to the Shanghe River, there is also a border between the Xia Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom, which is a vast and long barren land, known as the Kong de.
Not only between the Kingdom of Xia and Zhou, this border also separates between other Kingdoms namely Feng Kingdom and Dong Kingdom.
Although it is named Kong de.People are more familiar with the name of the city border/city boundary.The name is triggered, the color of each royal capital is close to Kong de.
..........
Jiazheng brought 200 thousand soldiers.The soldiers set up many tents and put up many crescent flags around him.
"Sickle moon!
Ja-so he is Emperor Yue??!!!"weiheng shouted in his eyes surprised when he saw the flag emblem.At first Weiheng did not see it, he was busy chatting with Diwei and Jiazhen.But he accidentally looked up at the sky and saw it.
Yue Kingdom is famous for being so strong and prosperous, there are even rumors that say the Kingdom of Yue can take all the existing Kingdom easily, if the Emperor himself wants it.
It made Weiheng happy to know about it, while Diwei did not know about it and looked anxious to think about Fang Hua.
"Son.we can definitely take Xiao Er...And even Zhaoyang could not bother him anymore" Weiheng's comfort whispered in Diwei's ear.
Diwei nodded slowly and said"Hopefully father..."
Despite having seen the flag emblem, Weiheng wanted to reassure himself again.He then asked Jiazhen"Is this really all the soldiers belonging to the master?"
"Yes...
Is this very little?
How many soldiers belonged to the Xia Kingdom?
If it is a little...
I will ask for additional soldiers" Jiazhen replied seriously.
"It's not...
Actually I wanted to convince myself, after seeing the flag symbol...
Master of an Emperor...
The emblem belonged to the Yue kingdom
So.."weiheng said.
Jiazhen nodded slowly.
"Hamba gave homat to His Majesty the Emperor." Weiheng said with a salute to Jiazhen.
Seeing Weiheng respectfully so, Diwei then saluted Jiazhen as well.
"You guys...There's no need to.." said Jiazhen, feeling unwell.
"No, Your Majesty the Emperor...
Forgive us for not saluting in the first place." said Weiheng.
"Yes His Majesty the Emperor...
My father was right.." Diwei said, confirming Weiheng's words.
"alright...I accept it.." said Jiazhen.
Diwei and Weiheng then stood back up.
"Now...
What are we going to do His Majesty the Emperor.." Weiheng said.
"Don't call me that.." Jiazhen said kindly.
"Ta..but.." said Weiheng hesitated.
"It does not deserve His Majesty the Emperor.." Diwei said.
"If you keep calling me that...I'll be mad at you guys...
I want you to behave as before." Jiazhen said.
"Alright sir" Diwei and Weiheng said simultaneously, accompanied by a nod of the head.
"Then what are we going to do now sir" Diwei said.
"Now we clean up first.After sunrise, we attack the Xia Kingdom" Jiazhen said.
"Alright sir" said Weiheng and Diwei simultaneously.
"Xiao Er's...Wait for me.." Diwei said.
