42 The Assembly
When Li Ming Yue left for the palace, Yeung Xiaolian prepared also to leave the manor because she wants to go for shopping in the market, so she asked Jing Mei to prepare the carriage because they are also going out.
'I want to prepare a very sexy lingerie. If I can't buy it here in this era, I need to find someone who can make it for me' she thought as she smiles for the very nice idea that she has come up with.
"Where are we going young mistress" jing Mei wish to know.
"Let's go buy a very nice silk and then help me find someone who can sew a cloth for me today and make sure they it can be finished within the day." she replied.
"You heard that mister?" she related that to the man who is in-charge in the carriage.
When they arrive at the store, they saw Tzi Mi Na buying some ornaments from the store also.
"Tzi Mi Na, you're here?! Good to see you...i was about to go to you because I really have no idea about something, it's just that I am a little lazy to go far. It's a really good coincidence that I saw you here." Yeung Xiaolian was smiling at her.
"so, what do you need me for? Last time you came barging into my backyard house, you two sisters made my house upside down. You two even made me brought you home...so, what is it this time, young mistress?" Tzi Mi Na curiously asked.
Yeung Xiaolian held Tzi Mi Na's wrist and led her to a corner where they are few or no people at all, she whispered, "I would like to make a cloth, a seductive one. I already have a design on my mind but I don't know who can I ask to make it for me. I need it today. Can you please help me?"
"so, you're making a fuss to captivate the General? You!? naughty mistress." Tzi Mi Na smirked.
"yes, please." while hand-rubbing her hands. Anticipating for Tzi Mi Na to answer.
"well, you left me with no choice." she answered and they went on together.

At the palace
Emperor: we all gathered you here together to discuss a very important matter. Eunuch Yun please state the matter.
(Everybody is listening)
Eunuch Yun: Two days ago, a messenger from the S desert delivered some information about the Northern Wei Tribe that attacked our military base there. General Hwang died in the attacked. It is one of the Li Army's people. According to the witnesses, the leader of the men who attacked the base held a powerful sword that nobody recognizes it. He told them that his name is Prince Cai Chu, the third son of the Emperor Cai of the Northern Wei Tribe. And according to the witnesses, the sword relinquishes a powerful aura, that when it's drawn out to attacked alongside with the speed to the owner it will create a powerful blaze. Too fast that you never sensed that you are hurt unless blood flows out from your body.
(Everybody is murmuring)'what sort of sword is that? What kind of evil do they possess to be able to do that?'
Eunuch Yun: but most importantly is that they said to hand over the girl that was taken after the war with General Li Ming Yue. If we don't do that, they threaten to attack this city.
General Li Ming Yue: did they tell you why they would want to have that girl?
Eunuch Yun: not in particular, but I guess you have to tell us what happened in the desert that they are so anxious to have that girl?
General Li Ming Yue: (walking in front of the crowd) the girl that they want is now became my wife. I don't know what they want from her but she saved me two times when I was in the battlefield fighting those men, she risked her life also for the sake of our Nanxiang Dynasty. Whatever it is, I will try to protect my country and my wife as well. That's all, your highness.
Emperor: we will do that for now, but we have to think of a better strategy and we have to think how we can adverse the weapon that the prince has used when they attacked the camp.
Li Xian Xi: I think your highness that we need a thorough investigation about this and we need make a detailed plan to be able to come up with a solution.
"Alright, we will think and plan first and then I will summon the people that I need to talk to a day after tomorrow. For today I will dismiss everyone, except for General Li Ming Yue to stay".
