Villages located in border areas have always been the first places to be affected by war. Villages on the border became a battleground that certainly many people des that wounded or even died. Many families have lost other family members, many husbands/wives have lost their spouses, and there will be mothers who lose their children and so on.
Gong Sheng thought it would be nice if the border residents could join in guarding their border area. Army troops guarding the border security can start to teach the villagers to just martial arts. The people who died will also be reduced.
While being engrossed in his daydream, from a direction not far from him there was a small child who was beaten by several adults. The feeling-crazed Gong Sheng approached to find out what was happening also saved the boy.
Gong Sheng tried to figure out what had happened, perhaps just a misunderstanding, but what he heard was that it made his blood boil. It is very interesting to destroy the pirates who have made the people here suffer even though the rest of the battle with Goryeo is not over.
" I will pay for all the food that this child has stolen" Gong Sheng told the shop owner.
" But sir, this child has stolen a lot and maybe if in total you will be overwhelmed." said the store owner.
" It's okay madam, I'll pay her. " Gong Sheng took out his pocket of money and gave it all to the tavern owner.
" If it is less or less in accordance with the expectations of the madam, please come to the barracks of my border troops there. "pointing Gong Sheng towards where his army barracks and border troops are located.
The owner of the tavern was initially hesitant to accept what Gong Sheng had given in exchange for what the boy had stolen all along. Gong Sheng remained pushy until eventually the owner of the tavern received Gong Sheng's helping hand.
Gong Sheng also ordered some food that would later be taken to where the boy was staying. Gong Sheng would see the situation there and if he was worried then he would ask Liancheng for help.
" Mister, you shouldn't be nice to me. You even paid for everything I stole and bought my family food. I won't be able to pay back what you gave." protested the boy.
" Protect your family and also help this village in every difficult thing that happens, it is a reward that is worthy of my good." said Gong Sheng.
Gong Sheng followed the boy where he was walking. Pass through narrow alleys, and also reot huts that are already uninhabited. Not far from the reot hut there is a hut whose condition is even worse. There were two girls in clothes who were sitting like they were waiting for someone.
The boy approached the two girls and gave them a package of food. Gong Sheng finally found out that the two girls were the family that the boy had. It was only fitting that they stole, indeed what could be done by such a small child to eat.
" This is what made you forbid you or anyone to help me. If you help my mother and my two sisters, we will hang our hopes on you. Then when you guys aren't helping, what about us, sir?" the boy looked Gong Sheng in the eyes. A look that implied such a deep wound had occurred to him.
" The three of you come with me to the barracks of the border soldiers. |I'll talk to the leader to help you but obviously you have to work there. Nothing in this world is free, son, even if you steal saiki and you will pay for it in the future" Gong Sheng said.
Gong Sheng would send someone he trusted to take action on the governor in charge of this border village. Gong Sheng will make people who have made people suffer get the right reward.
Together with the three orphans, Gong Sheng returned to the army barracks under Liancheng's leadership. Gong Sheng needed to talk about this matter to Liancheng and think of his best way out so as not to harm the people here.
" Your Majesty, where have you been? I was looking for you from earlier." asked Lin Han who was one of the team leaders of his army.
" I walked around the village for a while. What's up?" Gong Sheng asked back.
" Feeding has arrived but you have not shown up, which worries us, your majesty."
The three little children were so confused to hear the word 'the lecture was called by the person who greeted them. Means the person who has helped him this is not a random person if it is called with such a thing.
Gong Sheng noticed the confused look on the faces of the three children he had brought from the slum village in this border village. Gong Sheng squatted down equalizing his body with the three children. Gong Sheng rubbed the heads of the three children.
" I am the 5th prince, Gong Sheng. I feel responsible for what happened to all of you because five years ago I was at war with Goryeo. Forgive me for not understanding your heart's distress" said Gong Sheng.
" Your highness? " Lin Han's words came to a halt as Gong Sheng's hand looked upwards stopping the remark of one of his men.
" You are the famous 5th prince? "asked the boy to convince himself.
" Hey... I am the 5th prince of the Xili dynasty as well as the warlord who leads the Ri Yue forces" Gong Sheng said proudly.
" So, that great famous army is here? May I see them noble? " ask the boy so excited.
" I'll drop you off " said Lin Han.
Gong Sheng saw the departure of the three children with Lin Han. He has to solve the problems of the people here as well. Although the pirates have been exterminated but if there is no material assistance to the residents here, then they will return to fighting from scratch.
There would be many people who would later become like the three lucky children Gong Sheng met before death took them. If that happens he will be very sorry for not being able to save the lives of children. For what he holds the title of Prince and commander if his people only suffer.
