The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 79

This morning in the village where Gong Sheng's troops were, it looked very busy. All of them deftly completed what became their task. Even though this is still very early in the morning to do strenuous activities. But they had to work hard in doing protection for their village because it would get an attack from the crown prince's side.

No one will help them, so as much as possible they have to be alert and try to fight without the help of others. They must protect each other and make the enemy surrender, so that children and women can be safe.

" How are the preparations?" muzi asked some of his men.

" Current commander. And we are now setting traps around this village." replied Muzi's men.

" Do your best, our enemies this time we can not underestimate. To win, we need a lot of sacrifice." said Muzi, impressed scare, but in fact it is.

"Good commander.." They immediately disbanded.

Muzi returned around to look at the preparations. Their time was not much, there were only five more days left until the people of the crown prince and the 4th prince came to their village. During this time, Shihan and several members of Gong Sheng's secret army were seen training the villagers to use weapons.

Shihan's hope was that at least, these villagers could protect themselves and that it would reduce the burden on Gong Sheng's troops. Fortunately the people in the village were invited to cooperate and did not blame the presence of Gong Sheng troops in their village.

" We owe more to the great general, so it is only natural that we help the great general. We will always side with the great general, you can use us as much as you want." such was the speech of the villagers who made Gong Sheng himself to shed tears.

At the place of the head of the village, Gong Sheng was seen discussing with all the higher-ups in the village. Talk about some strategies that are considered to help them minimize the possibility of them losing.

The factor of being outnumbered is something that cannot be considered trivial. They can win if they have a good strategy, but can also lose if they make a wrong move. Gong Sheng's relief force in the capital could not come to help as they were being held by the Emperor himself. On the grounds that the 5th prince is still under investigation.

The abduction and persecution of the 5th prince had already reached the capital. But because of the accusations made by the crown prince, the emperor argued that the 5th prince was still in the investigation period so that his troops could not be dispatched to his place. It was just that the Emperor did not know about the assault that the crown prince and the 4th prince were going to make. It would probably be different if the Emperor knew, or absolutely nothing had changed even if the emperor knew once.

Hope help comes, but also can not depend on something that is not necessarily coming. The choice of Gong Sheng and the village troops was only to make a strategy and take advantage of the road conditions that would certainly be taken by the troops of the crown prince and the 4th prince.

" The back is the mountain. Inside there is a cave that leads to the southeast side of Goryeo." explained the village chief.

" Is that a road?" asked Gong Sheng who was surprised to hear that.

" Right sir. And.." The village chief looked to the right and to the left, as if he did not want anyone to hear his words. " This path is the secret path of emperor Goryeo lord. Thirty years ago, I once saw Emperor Goryeo who now passed this path and left behind two girls who were so beautiful. One was taken as a child by a former general." said the village chief.

" It's true sir. Therefore to us you are a member of this village. You're the granddaughter of the former General's family. Means you are the family of this village, your highness."

Gong Sheng thought for a moment, the best way to take advantage of this gap in the road leading to Goryeo. Because the southeast is the capital region and there is his uncle's private land there. Gong Sheng had intended to send someone there but a trip that took around three days would also definitely be an obstacle.

That was when Feng Ai came. He said that he could go there to meet with uncle Gong Sheng. However, Gong Sheng strongly rejected this because of Feng Ai's pregnant condition.

" If I go then you don't have to lose the strength of the team. I'll be fine for sure. I promise.." said Feng Ai recklessly.

" Ai, you're pregnant. If anything happens to you, I'll die for it. Losing my manpower by losing you and our future son, I would rather lose my fighting power. So cut your intentions for that." Gong Sheng was extremely upset at this moment.

" What the great general said is true. The terrain that will be reached to the end of the gap to Goryeo is not easy. We cannot guarantee you and your content will be fine." said the village chief also advising Feng Ai.

" I'll go.." All eyes looked at a man who was old but still the mother master of Gong Sheng.

" I know very well that path because my brother once took me there only to meet the present emperor of Goryeo" said the man who turned out to be Gong Sheng's mother's half-brother.

" A while ago I also escorted the emperor Goryeo into this gap after he met his family" continued the man named Xia Tian.

This man was a little pushy until it was finally decided that the man was the one who would go into the crack to ask Goryeo for help. And it seemed that Gong Sheng wanted to get his uncle to put pressure on Xili again, because he dared to put him in this kind of situation.

Gong Sheng left Xia Tian a letter that would be able to bring the man to the Emperor soon. Gong Sheng had a special plaque given directly by the emperor Goryeo to him. This plaque had a privilege that could bring its owner to meet the Emperor.

" Be careful uncle. And with this you can directly meet the Emperor once out of the gap." Gong Sheng said.

" Don't worry. I also have a special right to meet the emperor because I am your mother's half-sister. The emperor also granted me special privileges that allowed me to have some power in Goryeo" Gong Sheng's half-uncle said.

" Promise uncle that you'll wait for uncle to bring your uncle!!" xia Tian.

" Good uncle, I promise to hang out with the villagers." Xia Tian immediately left because the time was very tight. But hearing that his nephew promised he would survive, gave him the strength to fight soon.
