I Love A King

I Love A King
Travel to the Border


* Xiao Ying Part


The Emperor sent us to the border and made me a coach, willing or unwilling, all I had to accept as well.


Insult or praise, whatever it is I have to accept it and now it is a responsibility that I have to do right.


I'll show the Emperor that I can train warriors as well as Brother.


"So don't look at me, take care of me from there, I want to be just like you, be a great woman. Now that I get that chance, then I will try earnestly. Tomorrow we leave and there is a lot of concern for General Meng.


I hope everything's gonna be okay."


We don't know what the Emperor's intentions were, but General Meng said fearing King Han had incited the Emperor, if the Emperor was so easily incited then, a rebellion would definitely happen.


General Meng also tried to go to the Emperor, not knowing what he was talking about, but perhaps General Meng tried to resuscitate the Emperor.


...


Today Servant Lee helped me prepare things for tomorrow and General Meng has also allowed Servant Lee to go with us, and as usual I also practice arrows, but today I was alone, the Prince did not come, nor did General Yu who accompanied General Meng go to meet the Emperor.


Just as I was engrossed in training, suddenly the Crown Prince came again, with a happy face.


"What if I accompany you to practice?"


"Thank you, Your Majesty, I've finished training."


"Then you accompany me to practice."


"Sorry, Your Majesty, Servant there is still another job, please leave."


"Do you want to keep acting like this to me?"


I didn't answer and just looked at him.


"Alright, then this is an order."


I have to how else, inevitably I also accompany him to practice.


"Tomorrow you'll go to the border and stay there for a little while, so let me see you today."


Not knowing why I now feel compelled to accompany him, I will remember how Big Brother was sentenced to death for my love for him.


"Please realize, we can no longer be the same as before, I feel sad every time I see you, I always remember how my brother had to die because of me."


"It's my fault for not being able to protect you, but give me a little time, I promise this won't happen again." As he held both my hands.


"You don't do anything stupid for me, because it'll be useless." I refused his hand.


Instantly his face turned angry and then he threw away the arrow that was in his hand while saying.


"I'll never let you go."


Then he just left.


...


The next day we finally set off, too, a long journey in a horse-drawn carriage. It's the first time in my life.


General Meng and General Yu were riding horses and only carrying around 100 soldiers were walking behind us.


...


After 3 days of travel and several times we stopped resting, this time we were almost at the border and still on our way suddenly attacked by a group of people, he said, they wear ordinary, dirty and tragic clothes there are also children and pregnant women.


They tried to rob the food supplies we brought, but because of resistance from the soldiers they failed to rob and dozens of them were also killed and others all fled.


I got off the horse carriage with Servant Lee and looked around.


That's where I saw the sad face of General Yu, as he looked at one of the corpses, which turned out to be a pregnant woman.


I who have never seen so many corpses in my entire life have certainly been a little frightened, but this kind of habit of living and this kind of scene I still have to see, so I have to be brave.


While walking past the corpses, I approached General Yu. I also saw the body of the pregnant woman, who had been looked at by him since.


I stood beside him, and he said.


"This woman remembered me to my brother, she was killed pregnant."


I didn't say anything, because I didn't know how to comfort him either. The heart of who is not sad to see such a situation.


Then General Yu carried the corpse away to the burning place and left with a sad face.


...


The journey continued and finally we reached the army headquarters, while I returned to the room that had been provided for me and rested.


It was getting dark, after dinner, I walked around to see the soldiers, some were resting and some were standing guard.


At this border all soldiers must always be prepared, because at any time the people will come to rob.


...


I saw General Yu sitting pensively and I walked up to him as I poured him a cup of tea.


"What disturbs the mind? what happened this afternoon?"I asked him.


"Look at them innocent people, but in order to survive they have to rob."


I also answered.


"Then you think what else can they do? if you were in their position, what would you choose? waiting to die or trying to survive?"


He silently heard me say that, then I continued my words.


"It's not fate, it's a choice for survival, I'm sure someone will help them one day."


"How can you say that?"


"Because I believe, God won't let them continue this way."


"If God wanted to help them, surely wouldn't have waited for them to suffer until now."


"I think everything that happens has to be a lesson, no matter how long they wait and suffer they still survive, if you think about it, what do they really expect?"


"You're right, they're waiting for a better life expectancy, so they're always trying even if death is a risk."


"Well, I want to go back to rest, you also rest, the past things do not burden the mind."


I feel tired and want to get back to rest because tomorrow I have to start training the soldiers.


Actually ever since General Meng spoke of identity, I was very curious, I wanted to ask him, but it seems that this is not something I should know.


In my heart I felt that he was no ordinary person, so I said to him.


"I don't know who you are and I don't want to know for now, if you can save them, then fight."


Then I went back to my room to rest.
