Chapter 24 - General Cheng Han

When I was a child, I lived in a very small country, but my family was part of the slums, so I didn't get the chance to live easily. Then, one day, my parents could no longer continue to live and left me. I have been long an orphan, and every day it's like survival of the fittest. To eat, you must steal and rob. I don't like the idea of it, but what can I do? I don't have anyone to rely on, and that country discriminates against people based on their standing in life. For us in the slum, we have the worst life. Until one day I found a very weak-looking man and tried to steal from him, but I didn't get the chance to rob him because someone grabbed me down.

"How dare you attack his majesty?" At first, I thought it was the country's emperor, but he introduced himself like a normal person.

"I'm Nangong Yun. Do you want to come with me, along with the other people here in the slums in my country?"

I have been in the care of the previous emperor, and he is a very great emperor who love peace he is contented by how the country was before, and he has long been thinking to pass it to his wisest son De Wei, De Wei is indeed one of the wisest people that I have known and the previous emperor has been preparing to give his throne to him but I think everything is always easy for that person he even neglected the will of his father, to live a normal life. He said he understands, but what has this country become?

He said that there's still something part in him that if he won't find it, he'd rather die.

This made me think that this person seems kind of extreme does so something needs to find that much that he'd rather die.

When we went into the war and won our first victory, I was confused about what he always asked in every land we conquered.

"Do you know a beautiful woman with long and golden hair?" That's what he always asked, and he finally understands that it's not something or profound this as emotions are that he is looking for but a woman.

When did this person fall in love, and how can a person who always thinks that everyone is the same as he falls in love?

Fortunately, the only land he thinks to conquer is those on the brink of chaos, but when I ask him why, he never tells me anything but the name Yanyu.

But because of that, I have tried to become stronger so that I can help him in his goals since I'm the general that the previous emperor prepared for him, and since I want to repay his kindness, I won't let him down.

"General, we have arrived in the camp," Honghui called out, and I immediately got off the carriage.

"Does the emperor take a good rest?" I asked one of the camp's soldiers.

"Reporting to the general, he's been staying up this week, and we have been worrying about his health. Please, General, make him rest." Everyone in the country really cares for him, so it's natural for them to worry about their beloved emperor.

I just gave him a nod and went to the emperor's tent.

When I entered the big tent, I found him at his desk, looking at the map, and I'm sure she's planning another war. I went to his side, and when he finally noticed my presence, he looked at me.

"Greetings, emperor, I have finished escorting your bride in our country." He nods at me and continues looking at the maps.

The woman he's looking for has golden hair, so maybe it came from the west, but why does he search in those countries?

Ah! I remember the name of his bride is Yanyu, but she doesn't have golden hair, so maybe she is not the person he is looking for.
