(Present)Wu Huan was practicing his shooting at the archery range. The more he practiced, the better he was becoming. Shooting once, twice, Wu Huan stopped walking to look at the score. It was good but still not good enough. Since morning, he had been practicing hard, hopefully, he would become better. A lot of years had passed and he has grown. Now, he was already 18 years. “You have been shooting arrows since dawn. Why don't you come and practice the saber with me?" Zhi Hao asked walking into the archery range. “You know that I can't even hold the saber. You are very strong so you can lift it up. I can't.” Wu Huan said as he removed the arrows he had shit before. “The weekly assessment is about to start. If I don't practice well, I will get punished and you will have to get punished with me. How about this? Let's practice together. You can shoot your arrows and I will yield my saber.” Zhi Hao said . Wu Huan agreed immediately and the both of them started sparing together. The b
The next morning, Wu Huan and his friends woke up to see the whole place had been cleaned. “Who do you think it's doing this.? Did any of you do this? Clean the place?” Zhi Hao asked looking at the younger ones. “I was the one that cleaned the place. Everywhere was so dirty that I couldn't sleep well. So I came in the middle of the night to clean everything. It was so dirty.” Yin Xue Yue said “ Then, have you seen anyone coming in the middle of the night while we have been sleeping?" Wu Huan asked. " Why are you asking? Do you think that people have been coming here while we are sleeping?" Yin Xue Yue asked suprised. " I am not so sure yet. But, everyone knows that this isn't the first time this is happening. See? The foods have been restocked again.” Wu Huan said. “So what if they have been restocked? Do you want to leave? We are all here because we have agreed to become a part of the emperor's group. We want to serve Zhou. Don't you want to serve Zhou?” Song Huo asked. “You a
Just as Yin Xue Yue was about to finally slash Nan Cheng, Nan Cheng fell to the ground unconscious. Everyone rushed into the arena including their master. Yin Xue Yue was suprised at the outcome and raised his hand up immediately.. “I didn't do anything. I didn't. Why did he faint?” Yin Xue Yue asked. “This match shouldn't have gone on for long. Take him to his tent. The rest of you should take the day off. Continue practicing though." Wu Huan heard their master say and all of them bowed their head. “Master seems to have a weak spot for Nan Cheng. Haven't the rest of you noticed it yet?" Shao Wen asked as they saw their master leaving to go to Nan Cheng's tent. “Nan Cheng is sick. If it were you, wouldn't you not have a weak spot for him too?" Zhi Hao asked. " Yin Xue Yue, what exactly did you do to Nan Cheng? We have always practiced together. No one has ever made Nan Cheng faint like today.” Song Huo said scolding Yin Xue Yue. “I really didn't do anything. I didn't even use my
Han Ying came out the door holding her head up high even if probably everyone knew that her husband was sleeping with the maid inside. Maybe everything would stop if she just placed her feet down and dealt with the maids. “Greetings Empress.” Han Ying heard Dai Chan say bowing down. . “Are you going to see His Majesty? I think that you shouldn't. Time has proven that no man can ever be faithful. You are no longer the only most favoured Consort.” Han Ying said. “Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about. His Majesty is a man. There has never been a time in history that an emperor didn't have consorts. So I am not going to care even if he continues to sleep around.” Han Ying heard Dai Chan say. “You are twisted. You and His Majesty. No wonder the both of deserve each other." Han Ying said watching as Dai Chan bowed her head before she left. After Han Ying had gone, Dai Chan went straight to the emperor's palace. When she had first married into the palace, she had
“So all we need to do is to silence all the witnesses. Why don't we prove that they are lying?” Wu Huan asked. “Because they are not. Marquis Lin did trick them but only because he is trying to help the citizens.” Song Huo said. “I want all of you to understand that there are somethings that may not seem right but we are doing it for the good of everyone. If Marquis Lin goes down, there is going to be food shortage this year. A lot of people, families are going to die. Do you want that?" Master Ye asked watching as the boys looked at each other. “ Have they agreed?" Xing Ming asked Master Ye when he was back at the palace. “Yes, Your Majesty." Master Ye said bowing his head. “You have to make sure that Marquis Lin isn't caught at all. There must be nothing that my uncle can use.” Xing Ming said. Wu Huan and his friends finally arrived at the capital seeing how beautiful it was. The capital was very lively full of people being busy on the streets. Zhi Hao immediately left going t
Wu Huan and Zhi Hao walked on the streets thinking of who to ask for information when they saw a restaurant. Restaurants were also the best place to ask. Unknown to Wu Huan, it was the same restaurant he had been to when he was younger. Entering inside, Wu Huan looked at the full restaurant and went in. This time was different. Both of them were dressed handsomely in fine clothes so immediately they entered, all of them rushed to meet them. “Young masters, welcome.” The waiters said rushing to meet them immediately. The young girls in the restaurant were already smitten by their looks making Zhi Hao smile as he entered. Zhi Hao wasn't as shy as he appeared but he wasn't a total player like Song Huo. “ We want to order some of your best foods.” Wu Huan said as the waiter took them to their seats. “Are their any food restrictions?" The waiter asked. " Yes. Shrimp. Or seafood. Just give us whatever meat you have.” Wu Huan said watching as the waiter left them alone. While they wait
Meanwhile, Xiang Jun and Shao Wen went around one by one entering inside the shops to look for information. The shops that were close to the nobles manors were their target since they would probably have more information about the nobles. Just the same way the rest of their friends had been happily accepted wherever they went, Xiang Jun and Shao Wen were the eye candy of everyone in the shop they entered. It was a cosmetic shop so there were a lot of girls there. “Greetings young masters. We have the perfect cosmetics for your wives. They would surely love it." The cosmetic shop owner said leading them inside. Shao Wen saw all the girls faces drop as they heard they were married making Shao Wen shake his head correcting the shop owner. If the girls thought they were married, this could stop them from getting closer which was what was they wanted. “We are not married. We just heard that there was a very great store in tbe capital so we decided to come see it. We are new here you see
Wu Huan agreed immediately to Nan Cheng's plan thinking it was better. The most important thing was saving Marquis Lin. The next day, Zhou Dong arrived early at the crime department. It was the day they were supposed to take Marquis Lin to stand trial. They already had the witnesses protected, so this time, they just had to get him to gbe the palace.“Let's move the witnesses and Marquis Lin seperately. Marquis Lin will take this route. We can move the witnesses in another direction. This road to the palace is very narrow which means it will be their obvious choice of hiding. Let's move the fake Marquis Lin in that direction." Zhou Dong said. " Why do we still a fake Marquis Lin when we are still going to move him in a fake direction?” The head of the crime department asked. “We have been holding the witnesses for a long time, have you received any attack? Or heard that they wanted to capture them? If they have not taken action for so long, it means that, the person they want is Mar
