414 To meet a star

Lóng Wei hopped off the horse and stood next to Xiaoming. They had left the military camp before sunrise. The sky had started turning redder and before that, they both along with Bai Juchen went to the house where they were supposed to take shelter.

The Zhuan Tribal head, Zhuan Peizi, welcomed them to his house and showed them the room, where they three were supposed to stay till the time they found out the enemy.

“Your Royal Highness, since we live in huts, then the things might not be comfortable for you and your younger brother. Still, my tribe people and I will do our best to give you comfort,” Zhuan Peizi politely said. “If you find anything that does not fit your choice, please tell me,” he added.

“I do not think we will have discomfort here. I can see you all have already made arrangements for us,” Xiaoming stated. Zhuan Peizi bowed his head and thanked him for those words. A young tribal maiden came with a tray in her hand came inside the hut. The tray had three earthen glasses with fresh water.

“Please take your seat,” Zhuan Peizi told them, gesturing towards the stools made of bamboo. After they took their seats, Peizi, handed them the earthen glasses to drink water. Bai Juchen tried to stop Xiaoming from drinking water from that glass, but he did not listen to the general and drank the water.

Surprisingly, the water was fresh and sweet. Xiaoming had never tasted such sweet water in his life and brought a smile to his lips. He looked at Lóng Wei, who had asked for more water and he also did the same.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The maiden poured water into the glasses using the earthen jar and stepped back.

Lóng Wei wiped his lips from the back of his palm and put the glass on the tray that the maiden had forwarded to him.

“Thank you for this, Zhuan Peizi,” Xiaoming said when the young maiden took the glass from him and left the hut.

.....

“Let’s come to the real business,” Lóng Wei asserted as he looked into Peizi’s eyes.

“Sure, Your Highness.”

“You and your people will do what we tell you all to do,” Lóng Wei stated and looked at Xiaoming, who resumed the rest of the conversation. He shared the plan with Peizi.

“Make sure that no one commits any mistake. Because the price of the mistake would be death,” Lóng Wei asserted. Zhuan Peizi bowed and assured Lóng Wei that they would be careful.

“Our soldiers are among you people too in the disguises, so there will not be any loss of life,” Xiaoming told Zhuan Peizi, who thanked the Crown Prince for thinking about them too.

“You all are the people of the Qiu Kingdom. So, all of your lives are precious to me,” Xiaoming stated.

Lóng Wei did not intercede in their conversation. He knew that the fight was going to be tough. There was a possibility that someone from this tribe helped the enemy. Since Lóng Wei was not sure about it, so he could not either raise this suspicion. He wanted it to end calmly rather than with a fight.

Zhuan Peizi left the hut after a detailed conversation with Xiaoming and Bai Juchen while Lóng Wei remained silent.

“Brother Lóng Wei, you have to be careful too. Your pseudo name will be circulated among the tribal people. The enemy will come after you,” Xiaoming said with concern.

“I do not fear that. I want to see this enemy because of whom I have to stay away from Li Hua for so many days,” Lóng Wei said with a menacing look on his face. Bai Juchen smiled to see the spirit, and at the same, it astonished him.

He had heard about Lóng Wei. In everyone’s eyes, he was the most notorious person in the kingdom. However, now he got to see Lóng Wei and work with him, he found out that he was clever. His presence of mind was the most remarkable skill he had noticed in him.

The way Lóng Wei was described was so wrong and he realized it.

Huang Xi was puzzled to see Tianjie all ready in a lavish outfit. He also got the scent of the expensive perfume, which only the rich could possess. “Your Highness, where are you heading in such an outfit?” He could not stop himself but ask.

“To meet a star,” Tianjie said with a smile.

“Pardon me, Your Highness?” Huang Xi was confused to hear the reply of Tianjie.

“You will not understand it, Huang Xi!” Tianjie stated and started walking. Huang Xi followed him and reminded him that he could not leave the military camp without any reason.

Tianjie stopped with an annoyed look. “Calm down, Tianjie,” he told himself and let out a deep breath. He wore a smile and turned his gaze at Huang Xi. “I am heading to see Song Jia. I like her and I love to know more about her. I hope that I have given enough answers to Commander Huang Xi,” he affirmed.

“Who is Song Jia? His Highness cannot go out to see a random woman,” Huang Xi told him.

“She is not a random woman, Huang Xi,” Tianjie ended up getting angry. He tried his best not to lose his temper. He then put his hand around Huang Xi’s shoulder and continued, “I like her. I need to make my place in her heart so I can marry her. I will be back soon and trust me, no one will ever find out my disguise.”

“Then, how His Highness will talk to Song Jia? He cannot lie to her about his identity,” Huang Xi asserted.

“I will not tell her about me unless I get sure that she is the one for me. Ahh, it is so difficult to make you understand.” Tianjie gave up on explaining Huang Xi and pulled back his arm. He lowered it and pressed the temple of his forehead.

“If His Highness let me accompany him, I will let her go and meet Song Jia. I do not believe in separating two lovers,” Huang Xi offered. Tianjie immediately agreed to him. It was better than not meeting Song Jia.
