The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 82

Hill village is a village located in the hills of the southern part of Xili. The village is on top of the hills, isolated from other countries, from the other life that is down there. The inhabitants who made the first hill village are the former Li country that was burned by Goryeo a hundred years ago. Formerly the Li state was a country in the middle between Xili and Goryeo, then they were attacked by Goryeo because at that time, Goryeo wanted to expand the territory to suppress Xili.

These villagers isolated themselves from the outside world, unwilling to take care of how the outside world acted. They live peacefully on their own crops and livestock. But word circulated that the hill village army is a strong army if doing close combat. They were dubbed as 'Quzhujian' destroyers.

" After what Goryeo did to our ancestors, now you want me to help you save Xili village. Are you guys not sane? " sarkas Xijian, leader of the hill village.

" I knew in the past we were enemies, but as time went on Goryeo under my leadership tried to establish a good relationship with you. Please consider it. "forced, is the word that Kim Yozu should be in. He had to humble himself so that the hill village troops would come down to help his nephew.

" Tell me what's the benefit if I help my? " ask Xijian.

" Son Xia Nian, who is also the heir to my throne is currently fighting there. If you save him then Goryeo will forever have a good relationship with the hill village.. " Kim Yozu could only promise peace to the hill village so that they would help him.

" Who did you say son of? " ask Xijian.

" Son Xia Nian and Gong Yuan, my nephew Gong Sheng, " replied Kim Yozu calmly.

Xijian smiled meaningfully upon hearing who he should save. Gong Sheng was the son of Xia Nia and Gong Yuan, while he himself was Xia Nia's lover before Gong Yuan married Xia Nia forcibly.

Their destinies all revolved on the same axis. That makes Xijian feel that the world is funny because it has made him crazy. He must save the son of the woman he loves with the man who ruined his life. Should he save...

" I hate Gong Yuan with all my soul and body. That irresponsible man has robbed my woman, even foolishly bringing A Nian to his death... Then I have to save his son? " Xijian scoffs at the situation.

" The boy, since he was seven years old, has been expelled from the palace. Never loved and cared for by Gong Yuan. Growing up keeping a distance from your father. They're not as close as you think, my niece is very disappointed in her father.. " Kim Yozu was trying to explain the real situation.

" But he is still Gong Yuan's son.... "

" He was also Xia Nian's son... "

The two fell silent, they stared at each other intently hinting at each other's deep hatred. But again, they come back to the fact that they hate the same people.

" Help me to save my nephew, then I will help you destroy Gong Yuan.. "

Xijian was still speechless, he was in one dilemma. Save Xia Nian's son, or kill Gong Yuan's son. Xijian felt it was his best chance to avenge Gong Yuan's crimes just yet, but it was also the son of the woman he loved.

***********

The 4th prince and the crown prince were now attacking the village where Gong Sheng was located. So far Gong Sheng's army is still above the 4th prince and crown prince. But if until there is a follow-up attack from the opponent, then they will be overwhelmed to culminate in defeat.

Gong Sheng was at the very back of the defensive and assault positions. He became the most important pawn keeping the citizens hiding in the crevice. Along with him were Muzi and also Mingye, two people he trusted.

" But general.... "

" You're arguing against me? " gong Sheng's voice was like lightning to those two men.

" Do as I say. Your priority is Feng Ai and my future son... "

" Good general... " Muzi and Mingye were forced to obey what their general ordered. They both knew that their general's priority was his son and his wife.

The three waited for their time to fight to arrive. Being on the finish line is not easy, because it will all be a burden for the three of them if the front and center are not able to hold the opponent. They become the last key to victory and defeat simultaneously.

" Prepared... The enemy is coming soon." exclaimed Gong Sheng encouraging his troops.

Gong Sheng wasn't sure it would be able to last until the very end seeing the wounds on his body still hadn't healed properly. But if indeed his life was the price to be paid for protecting his people, then Gong Sheng was willing to sacrifice his life.

" Ai, if that second life exists, then you should wait for me to come to be with you. "inner Gong Sheng resigned.

The front and middle rows are no longer able to last longer. The follow-up troops from the opponent actually came at a time when their strength was almost exhausted. Many fell in this battle, be it Gong Sheng's side or his two brothers' side.

The middle defense had already collapsed, some of the opposing forces had already revealed their nose sticks right in front of Gong Sheng. Without saying much the 4th prince's army and the crown prince instantly moaned Gong Sheng and his troops mercilessly. A fierce battle of praise is inevitable.

" Forward... We attack the traitor together. "cry the opposing soldier who immediately attacked..

" Aishis.... We don't have a choice anymore... Everyone get ready on the spot. Recall... Before you die you must bring them to death, " cried Mingye who was in all the remaining troops.

Gong Sheng's army was further cornered as the front and middle rows had already lost. The more opponents that came, Gong Sheng could not even count the lives that were floating in his hands. Gong Sheng and Muzi were protecting and complementing each other, Muzi's duty was to ensure that this general could survive.

Gong Sheng's army only had a few remaining people including Muzi and Mingye. They already had no way out because they were surrounded by the opposing forces.

" You two go, I will hold them. "gong Sheng told Muzi and Mingye.

" General." both protest.

" Do it now!!! " Gong Sheng ruled by intimidating both of his men with murderous glares.

There was no choice but to obey the orders of their general. While Gong Sheng was about to outwit the opponent so that Muzi and Mingye could escape. From behind came the sound of horses approaching....

" ATTACK...... "
