"Miss,please can you explain what you said before in details?Wang Wei couldn't comprehend what miss said before"He asked very politely. "As I said before ,I want to avenge for my family myself.Of course I need your support.I would be depending on you.But avenging my family would be my responserbility.That is why you would not be the one joining the army but me."Yin Yue explained the first part. "of course,females are not allowed in our Qing empire's army.That is why the one joining the army wouldn't be a female" she explained the second part looking at Wang Wei.From his looks she understood the question he didn't ask. "That is because I'm going to disguise myself as s male" she explained the last part clearing all the confusions.Wang Wei was astonished to the core. He could not imagine how did this little girl's line of thoughts ended up like this.It was an unexpected decision and hard choice from such a little girl.He opened his mouth to protest, explaining the difficulties,but h
That was Wang Wei who was running along the horse.With his amazing running speed,he could catch up with the speed of the horse. Anyone who was watching could not guess even in their dreams that this man who was running fast like a horse might have been severely injured a few days ago. So, while running,suddenly he jumped up very high and leapt on to the horse.The horse seemed to panic once again and speeded up more.But Wang Wei kept hanging on the horse.With the experience of being a horse rider since he was a child,little by little he managed to calm the horse down.Finally ,he led the calmed down horse back to where people were gathered and were talking,exclaiming about the incident took place.As soon as the carriage was stopped,the driver and the servant girl came running.Both of them heaved sigh of relief seeing the carriage back and they thanked him profusely . The girl leapt up the carriage to check the condition of her lady.She was fainted inside the carriage.She came to her
The next day morning, Wang Wei came to escort his young miss out. When he knocked the door, he was asked to come in. When he entered, again he was astonished for a moment. There was no longer his young miss in front of him. Instead of the pretty young girl he knew, there was a cute looking young boy standing there. Wang Wei beheld the boy head to toe. Her hair style had changed, and something was different about her long bright eyes. Except for that, although there was no other visible differences, her appearance had changed considerably. He kept staring at her for another moment. "Uncle Wei, is my appearance weird?" Ying Yue asked awkwardly. "No miss. not at all" Wang Wei replied immediately. "Then why are you staring at me like this?" she asked again. "Instead of a young miss, when a young master appeared in front of me suddenly, I was a bit startled." Wang Wei replied. "Uncle, remember to call by my name from now on. otherwise it would be weird if you call me young miss by chan
The stable of city magistrate was not just one stable with some horses. It could be considered as a stables complex. There were different kind of horses in different places, a horse breeding center, treatment center for treating the ailments of horses and horse training center was there too. Different kind of horses were imported and strong wild horses were caught and detained in there. In the horse breeding center, more capable highbred horses were produced. In the horse training center, horses were tamed and trained as war horses, riding horses, race horses...etc. Wang Wei was the newly appointed in charge of horse training center. First of all, he took a tour around the stable complex to get an idea about each section's activity. As a soldier and the closest bodyguard of late General Jiang Lin, Wang Wei was very familiar with all kind of horses, specially war horses and riding horses. So, it was not hard for him to adjust to his new working environment. As for Yin Yue, that wa
Everyone except Yin Yue, looked at the direction which that voice came. They could see that, there was a tall, splendid looking boy standing beside them. He was wearing an azure coloured dress, holding a book in his hand. His appearance was similar to a scholar, but he gave off a majestic aura. "First young master" the attendants hurriedly bowed in front him while the little boy called him. "Elder brother.." He walked towards the people who were gathered. "Lu Er..,what is going on here?" he asked the same question from his younger brother again. "Elder brother ..,I was going to teach a lesson to this wicked, undisciplined servant" Wang Lu replied . "what mistake did he do to annoy my little brother?" he asked in a soothing voice. "He was roaming in the garden and without noticing my arrival, collided with me, making me totally wet with that water basket of his" Wang Lu complained. "Ooh..Was our Lu Er playing hide and seek again?" he asked again. "yes brother, I was running aw
Everyone was paid according to their rank and seniority. When Yin Yue's time came, she received three pieces of silver.* Taking them she left the place. In her previous self, she didn't even get to see these pieces of silver although she knew that there is this smallest, basic unit of money because they always dealt with silver and gold coins. She experienced a totally new side of the society in her life, collecting her salary for the work. After getting paid, she thought of visiting (uncle)Wang Wei because it was a day off too. After reaching the stable complex, she informed her arrival to Wang Wei through a guard. Wang Wei came to escort Yin Yue in. He could see that Yin Yue had become thinner and pallor than before in this one week's time. He was so sorry and hurt to see the little hands of her filled with bruises and cuts. He even suggested Yin Yue to withdraw herself and follow another method. But Yin Yue was firm in her dec
Because they still had few hours left of Yin Yue's day off, both of them decided to start the practice today itself. Wang Wei understood that young girl was weak in physical strength, So he decided to teach some basic movements and some exercises for improving her strength, flexibility and agility of her body. On the calm river side, enjoying the serenity of beautiful nature, Wang Wei started teaching his first lesson. “Young miss…, humans are a small part of this whole universe. When we born into this world, we receive the life energy from this universe to our soul. We live with that energy. Some people just live. They don’t try to improve their life energy. But some people try in various methods to improve and develop this life energy. Monks, Shamans, priests…those people are some groups who try to find the secrets of this life energy.” Yin Yue listened very attentively to Wang Li’s words. “We…martial artists are one of those groups. Martial art is not all about fighting or k
On their next day off, they decided to start practicing since early morning. This time, Wang Wei took Yin Yue to visit a different place. They entered the forest beyond the river and walked through the forest. The sun was still young and a cool breeze was passing. It was refreshing to have a walk in the forest. After about half an hour of walking, they reached to a hillside. From the bottom, Yin Yue could see that the summit was about two hundred meters above from them. "Miss, we are going to practice today at the hilltop. Can miss manage to climb up?" Wang Wei asked. Without saying anything, she started to climb up. Wang Wei was not using his full strength and kept climbing with medium speed. Yin Yue was catching up to his speed without much trouble. Wang Wei's One objective of making her climb this mountain was to check her progress. He could observe that she had improved herself for better during last week's time. Her
It was one fine morning. As usual, Yin Yue got up early in the morning, managed to complete her own schedule without trouble and started her appointed duty on the day. As she was a lowest ranked servant, she was not appointed to one master or one courtyard. Her place of duty is always changed according to the need and her duties also varies according to the need.Therefore she was able to meet almost every type of working personnal. That was the reason she could complete the previous home work given by Wang Wei successfully. Today she was working as a cleaning servant at first young master's quarters. After cleaning, she carried the dirty water bucket away and now again she was walking towards the quarters,carrying a bucket full of clean water. She was passing the young master's reading room when she heard some sounds of two people talking. It was not in her nature to eavesdrop another's personal talking but according to the words she heard,that seemed to be someone was reprimind
After three weeks... The time flew by. Everything went normally and smoothly. For Yin Yue, the only special thing happened during this period of time was the grand opening of their inn. According to Zhu Li's ideas and planning, with the help of Wang Wei and Ting ..,the opening ceremony of the their inn happened successfully.Now it has been doing considerably well for about twelve days. Except for Zhu Li and Ting, they had another two females and one male as their staff. Two friends of Ting, also were giving their helps when needed. They also were timid and disobedient at first just like Ting. But Yin Yue or Wang Wei didn't know how, Zhu Li had managed to train them in a very short period of time like a week ,before the opening ceremony takes place.They did a great job by spreading the news about newly opened inn,describing the amazing taste of food there..,high quality service with lower amount of money.. ,comfortable settings of rooms..and other facilities. Their food menus we
Yin Yue was sitting around a table in the garden with her parents.They were chatting happily with each other.It was a rare occasion Yin Yue got to spend her time freely with both her father and mother, because her father was always busy with military works.They were having tea and enjoying the scenery of setting sun in the evening . Suddenly, as if it was going to rain,a massive dark cloud invaded the sky.It was getting larger and larger and covered the whole sky including the sun.The surrounding got dark like a solar eclipse happening and a sudden thick fog started to invade the surrounding,backing up the speed of spreading darkness.Yin Yue was frightened to the core because of this sudden change.She looked at where her parents were but she couldn't find them.The thick fog had covered all the area densely .She called her parents, crying.But she couldn't get any answer.She kept calling while crying .She couldn't move anywhere to look for her parents because of the darkness .And the t
Zhu Li served tea and snacks to Yin Yue.Yin Yue came to her normal senses immediately. All others were just waiting until Yin Yue have her tea. "Uncle,sister,Ting er..please join with me.Let's have tea together"Yin Yue asked every one. Wang Wei and Zhu Li looked at each other..,after hesitating for a moment, they joined Yin Yue. They enjoyed the tea together. After having tea, they started discussing and exchanging information. Wang Wei informed about all the decisions he took and all the plans he made in details to Yin Yue. And he informed the secret codes of communication which they decided to use. After explaining the plans they made in capital, they started to analyze the information Yin Yue had collected . "Miss,as you have mentioned,city magistrate has only two sons.And eldest son is not the present lady's son.right?" Wang Wei asked Yin Yue. "Yes,I cofirmed it from many people" "How is the father-son relationship between elder young master and magistrate?" "They have a v
When they reached to the door, Yin Yue could see that was a girl and a little boy. She identified the girl immediately. "Zhu Li.." Yin Yue called her name. Her voice was filled with the happiness of seeing a familiar face in an unknown city. Zhu Li came running to Yin Yue. The little boy tag along with her, hiding behind. "Oh ..our young miss...our miss.." she muttered happily, smiling and sobbing at the same time, observing Yin Yue from head to toe. "Zhu Li is so sorry. Miss had to suffer so much. Zhu Li couldn't take care of our miss better." Zhu Li hugged Yin Yue tightly as she was overwhelmed by sadness. "Miss has become so thin. From now on this Zhu Li is going to take care of our miss" she continued without stopping. Even Yin Yue couldn't tell a word. "Are you going to make our miss stand here for the rest of the day? “therefore finally Wang Wei asked Zhu Li. "I am so sorry miss, I am so happy to see you. That is why…please come this way" finally she stopped her grievance
"Miss is not strong enough yet to use a real sword. Let's practice the basic sword techniques with this wooden sword" Wang Wei explained. But looking at her curious glance he understood that what she was asking about is the surprise he mentioned. With a smile he replied, " for the surprise miss has to wait until we finish our training" Then they started their first day of training sword technics. Yin Yue was so excited to start practicing sword technics. She knew that her father was famous not only for being "The general with highest achievements in the Qing empire" but also for his exceptional sword-man ship. After practicing for another two-three hours, they concluded their training session earlier than other days. "Now let's go to see the surprise I prepared" Wang Wei suggested and Yin Yue agreed without hesitation. They took a different path than their usual path which was leading to another side of the city. Yin Yue didn't have much memory of this side of the city because sh
Then they left the grave. Sun Wu and Xiao Lu who would be remaining in the capital were asked to make a proper tombstone for Lady's tomb when they have a time. After that, Wang Wei decided to have a look at the Jiang Lin manor and all of them walked silently to the direction of Jiang Lin manor. When they reached, they saw there were two guards in-front of the front gate. But because they were much more familiar with every inch of that household, they could enter the house premises, closing the guards' eyes. They walked around silently beholding the changes in the house. Once a house which was very glamorous looking and lively had become gloomy and abandoned. There was no any light inside the house. Even the trees, plants and everything in the surrounding seemed withered. Zhu Li was really heart-broken for her lady. She knew how much her lady cared about the maintenance of the household. She cared and loved everyone and everything in her house. Even the trees and plants in the court
Everyone looked at her and nodded with agreement. Four of them there were ready to do anything for their late master because except for being their late master, every one of them had a different reason to respect him. They continued their discussion. At the end of the discussion, two body guards who were still recovering were assigned to stay at the capital. One of them who is named as Sun Wu had a cousin brother who was a merchant. He had few shops in the capital, an inn and he had many contacts with different people. Sun Wu had a good relationship with him. Therefore Wu was assigned to go to his cousin brother and join his business. He was supposed to help building up the economic power of the team. The other bodyguard Xiao Lu was assigned to enter the General Huang Song's personal guard team by any possible means and he was supposed to spy on General's every action. Both of them agreed with their tasks. As for Zhu Li, Wang Wei thought of making her a female spy at general Huang S
After hearing that, the people outside the carriage could see the curtains of the carriage's window were pulled to a side and an extremely beautiful, elegant face of a lady appeared there. Her long beautiful eyes were piercing through the crowd and stopped at the pitiful looking girl who was dragged away by a group of people. She thought for a moment and gave some orders to one of her servants. He reached the passing crowd and gave his lady's order to those group of people. That order made them surprised yet they didn't dare to ignore it when they get to know the identity of that lady. She was Lady Jiang Lin, the wife of General Jiang Lin, a well-known general throughout the entire Qing empire. They came in front of the carriage with the girl. Then the lady asked them the reason for dragging away the girl by force. "Answering my lady, she is our master's would-be-wife. We were escorting her to our mas
