Two days later Emperor Wang summoned the King to the palace of Dong Wang Kingdom.
"Zhong Li saluted His Majesty Emperor Wang!" said King while kneeling before Emperor Wang.
"Stand!" said Emperor Wang.
The King stood tall before Emperor Wang calmly. On Emperor Wang's side were only Princess Jing Mi, Princess Xing Xing and Aunt Wang. The King had a feeling Emperor Wang wanted to discuss something personally with him.
"Zhong Li ! Jing Mi said, You have eaten the immortal grass so you have a strong inner energy now," Emperor Wang said.
"That's fine, His Majesty Emperor Wang!" answer King honestly.
"Good! General Zhong Guo must be very happy with your current state," Emperor Wang said.
"Yes, Your Majesty Emperor Wang," replied the King.
"I was amazed by your plan two days ago . Your plan succeeded in protecting Dong Wang Kingdom from the evil intentions of Bei Ming Kingdom. The guise of Prince Bei Chen Yi and Princess Bei Chen Hsuang was revealed so that the peace alliance was annulled" Emperor Wang said.
King glanced at Princess Jing Mi who was still calmly sitting on the right side of Emperor Wang. King was sure Princess Jing Mi would have told Emperor Wang everything. The King suggested that Emperor Wang would ask him to undertake a special mission.
"The spy of Dong Wang Kingdom who followed Prince Bei Chen Yi told Prince Bei Chen Yi that he was still in Dong Wang Kingdom and hiding from one place to another during these two days ," princess Jing Mi said.
King paused for a moment to think about the meaning of Princess Jing Mi's words representing Emperor Wang . Then King remembered Ming Lan who had been a spy for Bei Ming Kingdom for decades.
"Do you mean Emperor Wang, Prince Bei Chen Yi will settle in the secret headquarters built by the people of Bei Ming Kingdom decades ago?" ask King without further ado.
"Yes, right! It is likely that the secret headquarters is also a place to keep caterpillars," Emperor Wang replied .
"The secret headquarters must be destroyed!" said King as he clenched his hands tightly.
"Good! I love your spirit, Zhong Li! I leave everything in your hands and Jing Mi!" said Emperor Wang.
"Thank you for the trust granted by His Majesty Emperor Wang!" said King while saluting.
Princess Xing Xing stood up from her seat which was on the left side of Emperor Wang.
"Sister Jing Mi and Zhong Li! Xing Xing thanked him for the help two days ago so as not to get entangled in the caterpillar luring. The safety of Dong Wang Kingdom is in your hands. Xing Xing will be accompanying mom, waiting for the good news from the two of you," Princess Xing Xing said sincerely.
Ever since the happenings of the enchanting sorcerer, the arrogant Princess Xing Xing changed nature by a hundred and eighty degrees in such a short period of time. Princess Xing Xing did not want the bad happenings to befall her again so determined to change her bad and ugly attitude.
"His Majesty Emperor Wang! There was a condition Zhong Li wanted to convey!" said King.
"Say!" emperor Wang's Order.
"Zhong Li wants to postpone the wedding with Princess Jing Mi for three years!" said King.
"Reason?" asked Emperor Wang in a displeased tone.
"Princess Jing Mi is a good and perfect girl in Dong Wang Kingdom. Zhong Li wanted to become a strong war general like father now. At that moment, Zhong Li was confidently side-by-side with Princess Jing Mi" King said.
"Mother! Jing Mi agreed with Zhong Li's proposal to postpone the marriage because Jing Mi wanted to advance to the battlefield against Bei Ming Kingdom first," Princess Jing Mi said.
"All right! I grant both of you wishes! A Chen and General Zhong Guo will assist you in confronting Prince Bei Chen Yi!" said Emperor Wang.
"Thank you Your Majesty Emperor Wang!" said King.
"Thank you mother!" princess Jing Mi said.

Princess Jing Mi escorted King out of the palace hall of Dong Wang Kingdom. They had a serious talk about how to find Prince Bei Chen Yi's secret headquarters.
King proposed to include Xena and A Bai on the mission this time. The poison master Xena could overcome the poison from the Bei Ming Kingdom. While A Bai has a sharp olfactory power and can help find where caterpillars are located.
"Daughter of Jing Mi!"
There was a voice of a man calling Princess Jing Mi so King and Princess Jing Mi turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
Prince Xi Wen Lung walked over to the two of them with a friendly smile. Prince Xi Wen Lung was wearing traditional clothing typical of the Xi Xia Kingdom.
"Prince Xi Wen Lung!" said Princess Jing Mi .
"I will return to Xi Xia's kingdom with prime minister Liu Te today. There is a small gift that I want to give to Princess Jing Mi," Prince Xi Xia said as he handed her one small box.
Princess Jing Mi opened the small box and the contents were special bells of Xi Xia Kingdom heirloom .
"This?" princess Jing Mi said as she pointed at the little bell.
King's keen sense of hearing, being able to clearly listen there was 'something alive' inside that special bell.
"Be careful Princess Jing Mi! There's something inside the bell!" said King . King closed the small box quickly and gave a murderous look towards Prince Xi Wen Lung.
"Mr Zhong Li! I will not harm Princess Jing Mi! This special bell will sound if you feel the presence of caterpillars around him because inside this bell lives the caterpillar queen," Prince Xi Wen Lung said honestly.
"Queen caterpillar ?" asked King in disbelief.
All the maggots from the Bei Ming Kingdom were so dangerous that King suspected the caterpillar queen inside the special bell, as well as dangerous.
"The caterpillar queen is very rare and valuable. The Xi Xia Kingdom was very different from the Bei Ming Kingdom. We use caterpillars for treatment and not as poison. The container that chong ren made was the body of a beast and not a human like the Bei Ming kingdom. The caterpillar queen is completely non-toxic and will only move inside the bell if faced with the caterpillar. This bell will be very useful for Princess Jing Mi," Prince Xi Wen Lung said.
"All right! Thank you for the gift, Prince Xi Wen Lung! I will ask Royal Prime Minister Dong Wang to prepare ten sets of silk cloths to Prince Xi Wen Lung" Princess Jing Mi said.
Princess Jing Mi did not want to be indebted to Prince Xi Wen Lung especially the Xi Xia Kingdom so used ten sets of silk cloth as a means of exchange with the special bells of Bei Ming Kingdom.
"Thank you Princess Jing Mi!" prince Xi Wen Lung said and saluted Princess Jing Mi before saying goodbye.
