Warlord of the Xili Kingdom

Huge pressure

Home is the most comfortable place to live. It can protect us from the heat and rain, from the cold of the weather, and from the dangers that lurk. But, what happens if the house becomes the most dangerous place for them?

That was what happened to the Dongju Hui family or General Hui. Those who live at home do not know if danger will come at any time. The danger that came uninvited came while Hui Dongju was away on duty. He did not know if his house had an uninvited guest from Hangseng Palace, the Queen Mother's Palace.

General Hui was investigating the case of masked robbers who always troubled the Nobles, but made the people happy. Nor did he understand what was really going on. From what angle should he think? Therefore, General Hui secretly investigated the truth about the masked robber himself.

After investigating the case more deeply, Hui got a surprising fact about the truth from the report he received. The reality is that the people are very supportive of the masked robbers who rob only Nobles.

What is the cause of the great popular support for masked robbers? That is, because Nobles always oppress commoners like them to pay taxes that only go into their personal coffers.

General Hui immediately reported it to the Commander-in-Chief to follow up on the case. However, upon returning to the military camp, he did not find Zhaoling and received reports that the Great Commander was going to the South to deal with masked robbers.

Hui will catch up with Zhaoling to convey the truth he found during the investigation. However, an edict from the Emperor came to the exact moment he was about to leave. He immediately fulfilled the Emperor's call and came to the Palace Hall. But, there was no one gathered except the Minister under the Queen Mother.

This is really strange according to Hui. Wasn't the Emperor telling him to come? But, where is Emperor Zhihu now?

The Ministers immediately drew closer and invited General Hui to follow his steps towards Hangseng Palace, the residence of the Queen Mother. Initially, Hui did not suspect anything and immediately followed the Ministers without asking first. However, when he was right in the Hangseng Palace, he only understood that this was a diversion. The Emperor's Majesty's decree was forged.

Hui asked, why are they doing this to him? Were they not afraid of being reported to the Emperor and getting punished? But, the threat of Hui did not work because they had the full support of the ruling lady of Hangseng Palace, Her Majesty Queen Mother Hawangan'in.

The arrival of the old woman made the ministers bow their heads, but develop arrogance in themselves. After all, those Ministers were loyal followers of the Queen Mother. So, the Queen Mother would definitely not let her followers wretch, no!

The Queen Mother immediately conveyed what the main purpose of her summoning was towards General Hui. He said the nobility's disquiet with masked robbers has recently become a threat to them.

Hui who already knew the real problem also expressed his opinion and asked permission to be given the opportunity to the masked robbers. Hui also explained the cruelty of the Nobles to the poor, which led to the formation of the masked robber group.

He also planned to present the case to the Emperor and Commander of Zhaoling in order to protect innocents from the cruelty of the Palace with unjust punishment. As the late Prime Minister Yun and his two children, Xin'er and Xiaolang had experienced.

Yep. The Queen Mother wants Yoona dead. Be it as Yoona or when she became Xin'er, this old woman still disliked Zhaoling's wife. He wanted his granddaughter to be together and accept his chosen woman, Ming He.

But, seeing Zhaoling's stubbornness, it was impossible to persuade him to forget Xin'er. Moreover, if he knew that Xin'er was still alive and joined the group of masked robbers.

The Queen Mother wouldn't let that happen. He forced General Hui to crush the robbers in any way, but Hui refused firmly and said that he would negotiate with the Emperor or Zhaoling first. However, what the Queen Mother said next made her unable to resist.

The Queen Mother threatened to kill all members of her family, including General Hui's newly born baby wife a few days ago. Hui was surprised to learn that his wife had given birth. She was so happy that tears just came out of her smile. But, he was sad because it turned out that the news was known from people who threatened the safety of his family.

What a pity General Hui's fate is at this time. While he was fighting for the fate of the people, at the same time his family's life was threatened. What should he choose?

Although the Queen Mother's order seemed strange to him, but General Hui did not ask much. She agreed to the Queen Mother's order by pleading for her family to be released. Hui asked in his heart. Why did the Queen Mother do this and insist on eliminating the masked robbers, even though she had already explained why? And why would the Queen Mother take her family as captives to threaten her? What is the reason behind the Queen Mother's unfair attitude to the people?

Really am. This surprised General Hui, that a Ruler could be ignorant of the truth and support evil. He regretted meeting and talking about what he had found to the Queen Mother, and turned out to have cornered her instead.

That same day, General Hui led his army southward, according to the soldiers' instructions about the whereabouts of the masked robbers. He was given full power to kill all the masked robbers without leaving behind. A token bearing the symbol of Xili Palace had been held, but the token was green which symbolized that she was the messenger of the Queen Mother. The tokens of the Emperor are golden yellow, the tokens of the Empress are brown, and those of the Princes are red.

All of it is used in case of emergency, or urgent matters, then they can use the badge to give orders to their followers.

A sigh sounded heavy from General Hui's mouth. Before he can meet his family, especially his newborn son, he must complete the task that the Queen Mother gave him. The task was also secretive and only the Suri's followers knew, including Prince Zhaohan and Prince Zhaokang.

"I am a knight of the defense of the State, having to crush innocent people just because they defend themselves from the evil of the Nobles. If I refuse, then my family's life is at stake. Haah, why is my life like this? If only I had been a commoner, I probably wouldn't have felt this much pressure!" general Hui complained while on his way to the South.
