The God of War
Lily's Fretfulness
"Ghou!!"
Just 2 steps away Zhou left the bridge, suddenly there was the voice of a young man who managed to hold him back. Zhou turned to look towards the owner of the voice. And he saw that Luoyi was already standing before him.
Luoyi smiled obliquely and stepped closer and closer to Zhou, "Actually where have you been all this month? Don't you think I'm stupid and easy to fool like people! You must be going somewhere, right? You must be hiding something, right?" luyi squinted his pair of eyes at Zhou.
Zhou still looked calm, even he pulled the corners of his lips until a faint smile began to be etched onto his handsome face.
"If you think like that, it means you're overreacting, Luoyi. We are looking for medicinal herbs up to the three Holy mountains of Yamato" Zhou said casually.
Luoyi frowned hearing Zhou's reply.
"Three sacred mountains? Mount Unebi, Mount Kagu and Hunung Miminashi are located in the capital of the southern Fujiwara-yamato region?" luyio said in almost disbelief.
"really so. So many medicinal plants we have to get. While some medicinal herbs were extremely rare." Zhou replied not completely lying, as he was indeed looking for medicinal plants in some places back then.
"Away away." - Luoyi murmured softly and silenced her face with her fingers, yet Zhou could still listen to her.
"How was your training during our time away? Are you guys having problems?" zhou asked still kindly.
"Don't be big-headed and feel so important and needed! Of course we are fine and have not experienced the slightest obstacle even without you here! Cihh .." said Luoi full of rage and immediately sauntered away leaving Zhou with his arrogant steps.
Zhou exhaled his coarse breath into the air and shook his head faintly. Then he left the place because he wanted to immediately return to his pavilion to immediately meet with his little family.

DRRTA ...
Zhou enters his room and finds Lily tidying up some things. Realizing Zhou's arrival, Lily immediately stopped her activities and immediately welcomed her well.
"My husband, are you back? How are you doing? You're okay aren't you?" Lily approached Zhou and grabbed the side of Zhou face with worry.
"I'm doing fine. How're you? And where's our son?" zhou turned around to ask.
"We're doing fine. And our son is with Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu was bored and she invited him to be walking around. You take it easy, there are a few bodyguards accompanying them anyway." Lily replied sweetly. "You want to take a shower? I'll prepare water for you." he added sweetly.
"Hc. Ja. Please prepare for me." Zhou said warmly.
"Hc. All right, wait a minute ..."
"Lilly ..."
"Yes?" lily turned back.
"Eh? Alright." said Lily then immediately return to prepare water for Zhou.
After a while, Zhou ended his bathing ritual and immediately prepared. She invites Lily to a place not far from the palace. The two of them rode horses together and came to the edge of the cliff near the forest.
A beautiful horizon stretched before them, under a bright bluish sky. It was so calm and soothing with a breeze sweeping through their bodies. The waterfall that looks far across also makes the panorama even more amazing.
In front of them is a lowland located at the bottom of the cliff, visible some small countryside that is so beautiful. And the countryside is located closest to the palace, because it is still entering the territory of the capital Nobuhide-Takaoka. There lived one of the Nobuhide clan that has a fairly large member territory, the Taira clan.
Lily seemed to enjoy the beauty before her. But believe me, that's not what makes him happy right now. But because she was now able to meet her husband.
"It's so beautiful .. and so soothing to the heart .." Lily murmured softly and occasionally closed her beautiful clear eyes while breathing fresh air here.
"Do you like it?"
"I've always loved any place, every place will have its own beauty. "
"Oh yeah? What about the pusara?" zhou asked who was actually just teasing his wife.
"When we are in the navel, then there we will always remember if life in this world is not eternal. We will also leave the world one day .. naikara will always remind us of the next life, and of course will always make us to always improve life now." lily replied calmly and still stared at the beautiful horizon before her.
"Isn't that so, Husband?" lily turned to look at Zhou with a faint smile.
"Hc. Sure oes. Wherever we are, we should always be grateful."
The two of them went back silent for a while and stared at the beautiful horizon before them. Until finally ...
"Home ..." / "Lilly ..."
Lily and Zhou called each other out simultaneously, making them look at each other with anxious expressions. They both waited for each other until the end ...
"There's something I want to say .." again the two of them said simultaneously, making the two of them smile faintly from feeling anxious themselves.
"alright. You go first, My wife .." said Zhou finally invited Lily to first deliver something.
Lily nodded slowly and took a breath then took it out slowly. Very visible through the face of his father who is now described anxiety and doubt, to convey something.
"Tell me what's bothering you right now. Don't hesitate, I'll answer whatever you'll ask me." Zhou said as she saw Lily still hesitated to deliver.
Lily looked down and looked at the yellowish nanohana she had just picked up a moment ago.
"When you went to war with the Genda clan and the Mitzuhiro clan, you said that if you met Empress Nouhime and drove her back to the Fumio palace, right?" lily asked very carefully, she also started looking up to the side venturing into Zhou.
"really. I told you everything, My wife." Zhou said warmly.
"I want to ask you ... Did you know each other before?" lily asked more carefully, and this time the look on her face began to turn moody.
"Yes. I knew him before, Wife." Zhou replied honestly and still stared fixedly at the pair of beads that were now beginning to shake and become slightly watery.
The cherry-thin and cherry-red lips now also began to tremble, as if it was too heavy to convey anything more to Zhou. Zhou's confession that said if he did know Nouhime before was enough to surprise Lily.
