Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Attract attention

"What name did you give your son, Wei?" Zhaoling asked without looking at the person. His face remained focused forward with his hands busy plucking the yam from the ground.

Liu Wei turned his head, then refocused on his work. "Liu Chen," he said quickly.

Zhaoling and Yu Xuan instantly stopped his work. The two looked at Liu Wei who seemed focused on working, "a good name. Did you think of this name long before?" praise both.

"of course! You know, I even prepared this name before we got married" Liu Wei said cheerfully.

The two companions chuckled at Liu Wei's words which he found funny. They laughed because they did not think that Liu Wei, who was actually a cold and ignorant man, could prepare a name for his son even before marriage. What if the child born is a baby girl?

"Cool right, me?" liu Wei continued when she saw her two best friends laughing while giving a thumbs up at her.

Yu Xuan chimed in on his friend's remark. "Wei, I have actually prepared a name for my son. So, not only are you cool, I'm cool too!"

Now, Zhaoling and Liu Wei were glancing at each other in disbelief. "You too?" Yu Xuan nodded. "So, what's the name you're gonna give your son?" ask them both in unison.

"There is! Secret," he whispered, chuckling.

They also laugh together because it turns out that in times like this, their lives are calmer and also happy without any burden. War and debate within the Palace were endless, making them careless. Plus the power struggle that makes many victims fall.

Now, the three are comfortable living life as ordinary people and can be happy with their small family. Of course, this decision was not separated from the advice of Lon Thong's grandfather. While in the Ancient Shrine, Zhaoling asked grandfather for an opinion on the matter of their lives. Lon's grandfather agrees that they are living as wanderers as he is, but with a record of having to keep coming back if his family is in need.

For example, something happened to his mother or father, Zhaoling had to come to help, therefore as a filial piety of a child to the parents. And grandfather hopes that Zhaoling will never be an ungodly child even though his parents did wrong.

"Alingo. Did you sell our farm yesterday? It seems, I will need a lot of money for Liu Chen's equipment in the future!" liu Wei said as he looked at Zhaoling.

The man shook his head in a sign that he had not sold the produce of their fields. "I plan to sell it after the yam harvest is over" said Zhaoling.

Yep. Currently they are harvesting the sweet potatoes that they have grown, to be sold to the market. Not only yams, vegetables, fruits, even wheat they plant and sell to the market after harvesting together. The results will be divided equally without exception. Zhaoling, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan got the same share.

Finished harvesting, they rushed home and cleaned up the body, then set off for the market to sell their crops. However, it is unexpected that there are interesting events in the market that they came to today

A group of thugs are trying to make money by asking for security money to traders who hold their merchandise in the market. They do not hesitate to hit if they are not paid as requested.

The three men were still observing their movements from a distance. They don't want everyone to know that these three are swordsmen or kung fu. So, they were silent but the movement was unknown to anyone.

When one of the thugs was about to hit a female trader, from a distance Zhaoling just moved his hand like forming something that he then threw towards the thugs of the market. Unexpectedly, the thug's body lapsed backwards before his hand could hit the female merchant.

Brucks

His body fell hard to the ground with no known cause. "Argh," his ringing sounded as he felt a pain in the chest from the blow of someone who was out of nowhere.

"Who is that?" everyone watched the surroundings, but did not find anyone who was the perpetrator suddenly. "How dare you play games with me!" said the thug leader while kicking the bench of the merchant-owned shop there, and it made all his merchandise fall scattered.

The shop owner immediately shouted while picking up his merchandise. He was also under the feet of the thugs. "Master, don't destroy my wares! I am just a small person who needs a lot of money for everyday purposes. Please Lord not to destroy it!" door's welding.

But, the thug did not care about the whining of the merchant. He even kicked his frail body quite hard. "Fuck your life needs. I want that person to show themselves right now. Come on, show me your fucking face!" he shouted with rage.

The screams of the merchants were ignored by the thugs, and they became more and more. But, it did not last long, as the three cold men immediately acted.

Swosh

Strong gusts of wind hit the surrounding area, causing everyone to have to cover the Sight Indra to protect the eyes. As fast as lightning, the bodies of the thugs had already fallen on the ground with bruises from one's punch unnoticed. They cannot see what really happened and who did it. But what can be ascertained at this time, that they are happy to see the thugs have fallen like that.

"Taste that" sneered all the merchants to the thugs including the three cold men who attacked.

No one knows who did this to the market thugs. However, there was a woman standing not far from the place and she saw the incident.

Instantly, the woman's smile rose like a morning sun. "An interesting man" he said, stepping into the market.

Currently, the market is quite chaotic and messy due to the actions of thugs, plus strong winds that blow earlier. They are confused about the fate of the merchandise that is damaged and can not be resold.

"How's this? We haven't got a dime," they're confused.

But, suddenly a woman came over and bought all their merchandise, without a single one being missed. Seems pretty weird, but they don't care. The most important thing today is the money made from the sale of merchandise today. Why and for what the woman bought all the goods in large quantities, they did not want to ask even though curious.

The woman left on horseback, while her belongings were carried by three freight wagons to the address she had been told. Before leaving, the woman turned to three handsome men who were cleaning their sales stalls. Then, he smiled meaningfully before actually leaving the market.

All the merchants had gone home, including the three cold men. They walk along while chatting. However, when in the middle of the road, accidentally saw the woman who bought their merchandise was in trouble. More precisely, the woman fell off her mount, with wounds on her legs and hands.

"Oh," his whine endured the pain.

The three looked at each other, then walked over. "You all right, Miss?" their simultaneous questions made him look up.

"I-I'm fine, sir." he said with a heartfelt look. From the look in his eyes alone, the three were sure that the woman was enduring the pain. But, they did not want to get involved further with the woman, so they called people who happened to pass by the place.

"Uncle, Aunt. Can you guys help him? It looks like he's hurt" the three told passers-by.

Those people frowned. "Why don't you guys help her?" asked back with a cynical look.

"We're in a hurry. Our wife and children are waiting at home" the trio deliberately gave an excuse.

Hearing the three say like that, the facial expression of the woman earlier became bad. He even clucked when the three men mentioned the words wife and child. "Ckk, it turns out they already have family!" his murmur was soft that no one could hear.

At first, these people did not want to help. However, the three handsome men continued to give reasons to go home quickly, they finally understood and helped the woman.

The woman's heart became arrogant because it could not get the attention of the three handsome men. In fact, no one was willing to help him. "It seems like my plan is failing miserably" he murmured with annoyance and anger. "Sucks," he quipped again.
