THE LEGEND OF EDWARD
31. ESTABLISHING COOPERATION WITH THE NOBLE FAMILY OF ZHAO.

The long night, some of the soldiers who guarded the fort had fallen asleep, some were still doing treatment to the other soldiers, not to forget Edward gave all the HP potions and healing pills to all the wounded soldiers in a furious manner,

Thanks to the help of the HP potion and the extremely efficacious healing pill, the severely injured and lightly injured soldiers immediately recovered in just a matter of a few hours,

"My troops, tomorrow morning we're going home to the imperial capital, but before that you have to help the soldiers who are here to bury the bodies outside the walls,"said Edward ordered to all the soldiers in his army,

"Ready Mr..!!"said the troops led by Edward simultaneously,

All Edward's fit soldiers helped collect the bodies of enemy soldiers as well as the corpses of SHIN-ZU imperial soldiers,

"Greetings to me, Lord Edward.. Signore... You got a message from Commander Zhao, to come face to face on her,?" Takeshi Shui gave Edward a report,

"Yes... Thank you Commander Takeshi, for the information you provided,?" Said Edward who was grateful for the information conveyed by the Commander of the House of Nobles Guard troops, who was,

"Yes.. Mr.." said Takeshi while saluting Edward,

"Oh yeah, Takeshi you help the other soldiers to collect the bodies of the soldiers outside the gate," edward tells Takeshi to help the other soldiers collect the bodies of the dead soldiers in the former battlefield,

"Okay sir." said Takeshi and soon joined the other soldiers to collect the bodies of the dead soldiers,

Edward walked slowly towards the building occupied by Commander Zhao, but in the middle of his journey approached by Ashaki Rui, the,

"Brother Edward, where are you going on nights like this,?" Ashaki Rui asked after seeing Edward walking alone without any bodyguards,

"Ahhhhh... It just so happens that Rui, come with me, we will be the residence of Commander Zhao," said Edward invited Ashaki Rui to meet Commander Zhai at his residence, where he was staying,

"It happens that I also have some free time to spend" said Ashaki Rui,

After that they went to the residence of Commander Zhao,

Upon arriving at Commander Zhao's residence, Edward and Rui were greeted warmly by the soldiers guarding Commander Zhao's residence,

"Please come in, sir..?" Said the guard soldiers to Edward and Rui, respectively,

"Thank you uncle guard..?" Said Edward who was grateful for being given permission to enter the residence of Commander Zhao,

Edward and Ashaki Rui were escorted by the guard to the private room of Commander Zhao,

Sfx : Tok.. Geck.. Tok.(knock on door)

"Excuse me Commander Zhao, Mr. Edward would like to see you." said the guard who knocked on the door of Commander Zhao's private room,

The commander who heard it immediately told his guests to enter his private room,

"Ohh... Let them in" Commander Zhao's reply to the guard,

After his Edward and also Rui entered the private room belonging to Commander Zhao,

"Greetings to me Commander Zhao," said Edward as he bowed his salute to Commander Zhao, followed also by Rui who did the same as Edward,

"Yes... Please sit Mr. Edward and Mr. Commander" Commander Zhao said,

"Thank you Commander Zhao" said Edward, thanking Commander Zhao and sitting on the chair that had been provided in the room,

"Yes... Equally, and thank you for bothering to come to fulfill my calling, too," commander Zhao said, Thank you to Edward for coming night and night to his residence just to fulfill his call,

"Yes.it's okay Commander Zhao, I'm sorry, if I may know, what does Commander Zhao want to meet with me,?" Said Edward asking about the invitation from Commander Zhao,

"Ahhhhh... You always talk directly to the core, well I invite you to come to my residence these nights, just to discuss the details about the spoils from the remnants of the equipment used by the soldiers of Gou-Zhang Kingdom, who had been killed.." Commander Zhao said directly to the heart of the conversation,

"Ahhh about that..is the Empire's side not a problem right,?" Said Edward asking Commander Zhao about the party from the Empire,

"The empire has handed over its spoils to us, who have fought to defend the Border Fortress of this City" Commander Zhao said,

"Hmmmmm... Then isn't there no connection to her you're talking to me, Commander Zhao,?" Said Edward who was confused by the intent of Commander Zhao's words,

"Haha.... Of course there is a relationship Mr. Edward, if you can be honest, you are the one who contributed the most to this war, if it were not for you and your troops coming to help attack and crush the enemy forces, we would not have obtained this victory, therefore I as the Commander-in-Chief of this Empire, he said, hand over all the spoils from the remaining equipment used by the enemy troops who have been killed to you," Commander Zhao said, telling the purpose of his words,

"Ohhh... Then be good, but before that I will only take one-third of the spoils from the rest of it I leave to your wisdom Lord Commander Zhao, because I am very sure, the troops from your stronghold are a lot of casualties, therefore I will only take one third of it," Edward told Commander Zhao,

"Master.. Edward are you sure..?" Said Commander Zhao who did not believe in Edward's words that greatly uphold justice,

"Yes.. Commander Zhao, hhhmmmm... Oh.. yes, if I may ask what will you do from the spoils of war,?" Edward said to Commander Zhao,

"If so, we may sell it to other kingdoms and I will donate it to the families who are victims of this war" Commander Zhao said,

"Ohhhh, that's it" replied Edward,

But before Edward continued his remarks Ashaki Rui whispered to Edward,

"My brother, it would not be better if the Guard Shop bought all the spoils of war, this would be very profitable for us, because we currently have many black smith experts, as we currently have, just a lack of materials to make it," whispered from Rui to Edward,

"Well, you're right, Rui" Edward replied to a whisper from Rui,

"Commander, sorry... Whether it is possible if the Guard family buys all the spoils of war, there is no need to worry we will buy at the same price as the price per item sold in the market," edward said to advise Commander Zhao,

"What...!!!..... Sorry..sorry Mr. Edward, I was a little surprised.. he.. hehe.. are you seriously going to buy all that equipment,?" Said the Commander who was a little surprised,

"Yes right Commander Zhao, after I take a third of mine, you can sell the rest to me at the same price as the price on the market," edward answered a remark from Commander Zhao,

"Commander.we will buy whatever goods we can sell, as long as the goods are still the standard price of the original market" said Edward,

"Are you serious, Mr. Edward..?" Said the Commander who again and again was shocked by Edward, he did not know and would never know how much wealth the Royal Guard Family had, he said,

" Be calm the commander, sorry not his I feel arrogant and or whatever it is, to be honest, even all the houses in this empire and its contents I can buy with the money I have," said Edward who told me about most of his wealth,

Note: thor udh lazy count the sum of all the treasures owned by Edward, Edward,

"Yeah... I believe in you Mr. Edward, well then you read first the document of this agreement and after that you have to sign this agreement, then our cooperation will continue for a long time," Commander Zhao said and handed over the documents of the agreement to establish cooperation between the noble families,

"Yes.. Commander," said Edward and took the documents of the cooperation agreement given by Commander Zhao to his, the,

Then Edward read the document, and after his signing a letter of agreement of cooperation between the Zhao family and the Guard family, and gave the document of the agreement to the commander, the letter of agreement, but Edward did not forget to take one of the signed letters of the agreement from both sides, for evidence from the Zhao family,

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Edward..?" Commander Zhao said and extended his hand to Edward,

"Yes.. Thank you also Commander Zhao, hopefully in the future the cooperation that we will live, goes smoothly," said Edward accompanied by shaking hands,

"Well, then I say retreat first Commander Zhao, because the night is late" said Edward said farewell to Commander Zhao, saying,

"Well, please Mr. Edward, and again I thank you very much for cooperating with our family" Commander Zhao said,

"Together Commander Zhao" said Edward, ending their meeting,

And after his Edward went away from the residence of Commander Zhao, and walked over to the resting place of the family of the Noble Guard, and,

On the way Edward continued to talk with Rui who had accompanied himself since then,

"Rui.I will order you to set up a Guard Shop in this city, and one more thing, my brother Rui, I will trust you all, therefore you will control all the Shops in the empire" Edward told Rui,

"Well my brother, leave everything to me, I will try to fulfill all your orders" Ashaki Rui replied to Edward's words with confidence,

"Good then, oh. yes, and one more thing, I will allow Erika to help you, and become your assistant to take care of all the shops that exist in this Empire," said Edward,

"A... What's.. Did Edward's brother really let Erika be my assistant, then,?" Ashaki Rui was a little nervous when he heard Edward's plan,

"Yes.it's true Rui, it's very clear I know it without you needing to tell, you guys secretly harbored the same feeling is not, it's been.. I'm going to change my plans a little bit for the sake of your relationship" Edward told Rui,

"My brother..." Said Rui who was at a loss for words,

After her Rui turned to face Edward and wanted to hug Edward tightly, but it was easily avoided by Edward, then Edward hit Rui's head using his right hand that was clenched,

"What the hell are you... Rui..!!! You think I'm a fuckin' guy, even though I've been a little lonely since I left Haruna in the capital, it doesn't mean I want to be hugged by you...!!!" Said Edward who was shocked and hit Ashaki Rui on the head,

"Aadudmu.. hurts..!!! You're so fierce my brother, I just want to hug you, because I want to thank you, before yesterday you want to hug me," said Rui who was in pain receiving a blow from Edward, who took a blow,

" Huhhhhhhhh... (Sighs) This basic you, it's all because I want to prove to others that you are my brother" Edward told Rui, explaining the misunderstanding,

"Yahh. I'm sorry I. he. hehehe.." Rui told Edward,

After that Edward and Rui entered the resting place of the Guard family group,

"Well, Rui, I will go to rest first, good night" Edward told Rui,

"Yes.my brother, good night." said Rui to reply from Edward,

Without feeling Edward and Rui have plunged into a beautiful dreamland, they are so very exhausted that drowsiness attacks them so strongly, make their eyes powerless to be closed, right,

.

The next day, on a sunny morning, when the sun was refuting itself, Edward, who had been awake since before sunrise, was ready to go home to the imperial capital of SHIN-ZU,

Takeshi Shui along with all the troops he had brought along had also prepared to depart for the imperial capital SHIN-ZU, as well as Hyukimura Hayato and his troops, as well as his,

"Sir.. are we leaving now..?" Takeshi Shui said to Edward,

"Yes.. shall we leave now, prepare your entire army, then,? Hyukimura we will leave now but in the middle of the road we will separate to each other, you return to your starting place, do your duty as usual," said Edward ordered to all his subordinates,

"good Lord..!!!" say they're in unison, say them,

and after they all set out for the imperial capital, Edward who climbed Suzaku and flew high enough above his troops that were walking together, watch his troop travel from above the sky,
