BANQUET WHERE SHE FOUND A DISCIPLE
"the grand female general is entering the hall" the announcement held all the ministers back, their throats dried, knees weaken, they feared her more than anything "General Wu hails your majesty" she spoke with a small bow ,as the whole hall shook with her voice "General Wu , what's the matter, is something bothering you?" the empress spoke to her favorite daughter "your majesty, i wont flatter you with comments, i will come straight to the point ,why is it that I am the only one from our empire called to the northern empire's banquet held by the empress " she said focused "they are sure to lose head this time but I guess they should be given another chance to beg for mercy from the great general again, don't you think so my beloved daughter" the empress, her mother spoke as she held her head proud while praising her with a sadistic grin . " your highness, it is rather impolite for the second daughter of the emperor to attend such banquet even if they wanted to see the general for the peace treaty they wouldn't invite us in such personal event of their empire and as suspicious as it sounds right now, they have only invited the general " she spoke with a soft frown " even if they wanted to see you , it seems rather suspicious " empress doubted in agreement with the general as she agreed "but its still life threatening for the north, if anything happens to you then there will only be bloodshed, do not show mercy if anything goes wrong..." hearing the empress like this the court officials finally realized where did the brutal side of the general came from "your majesty needs not to worry about that, people like them cant even touch a strand of my hair" she smiled yet cutely and so left the souls of the ministers "if that's all, then i shall bid my leave " she cupped her hands entangled with a soft bow and left the hall, all the ministers were still left in awe as she did.
A week later
"Miss how about a decent dress that will look good" qiqi spoke trying hardest to convince her young miss to wear a girly outfit but received a death glare instead "i…i... mean young miss looks good in any outfit….it's just that this outfit on the young miss , she will surely outshine another princess , don't you think that too chu yin" she looked at him to give a sign for help "ah… yes master, it will look great on you" he said after getting the sign from her " i am not there to impress those fools" the general said still focused on paperwork. "i will wear the one that will outshine the empress as i am so special to be called alone" she scoffed while qiqi and chu yan's jaw dropped hearing her say that.
preparing for the banquet
The dress that was chosen for her to wear was crimson red hanfu which had gold embroidery of a phoenix , her hairstyle decorated with jade and gold that made her look like a fairy that had come from the heavens herself, well she did ascend to heaven but the heavenly official's seem to be very fearsome of her but now it seems that they might even drool over her, because of course she was the most beautiful lady in that era, she was even described as one of the 4 beauties of the era, she just wont dress to impress.
Upon entering the banquet,
"Now announcing the entrance of the great general of the south," the announcement shook everyone at the banquet. And at once they lowered their heads, even the emperor and empress bowed to show respect. It was as if they showed up at her banquet and not her showing up at their banquet, "at ease," she commanded. After all, she was the reincarnation of the heavenly emperor's firstborn daughter. Everyone was scared of her being around. It was normal for her, but something was wrong.
As she walked around to observe what was wrong, "chu yin, what's the matter?" she called out silently "master, I believe there is something wrong here. I feel demonic aura nearby " he gave a massage, "go find out what the matter is" she gave him orders "yes master" he than vanished in thin air. As she walked away she puts on a smile which is hard to distinguish if fake or genuine, she hurdled around till someone approached her, the women who looked she was in her 20s ,she was all dressed in somewhat extravagant clothing and golden and jade jewelries, almost as if she was a princess, "all hail to the grand female general…" she bowed and cupped her hands to show her respect to her "at ease.... Till now no one has approached me why do you? Is there a hidden ambition to this" she inquired "not at all your highness, I just saw that you have been alone since you arrived , so I thought of approaching you" even her tone of speaking was polite as she spoke, not knowing what to reply wu jiang stood there in awkwardness.
"Your highness, would like to come to a place with me? It is not a very frequently visited place so you might like it" she requested as Wu Jiang hummed in agreement. After walking for an incense burning time until they reached near a lake, which was indeed very quiet, it didn't have many visitors, even though it's beauty was unparallel .wu jiang was mesmerized by the beauty of the lake and the reflection of moon on it "so did your highness like the view?" she asked very proudly "indeed.." she let only one word out of her mouth "your highness then I won't disturb you , I'll send my maid to show you the way back to the banquet" she politely bowed to her "alright…. But what shall I address you as..." Wu Jiang questioned politely "you can addresses me as lian mingguang from mingguang family, your highness" she bowed again "what does your family do?" She stared an the woman's face while she still bowed to her " I am an official's daughter, your highness " "I see, you shall take your leave now" she ordered " yes your highness" she replied and left in no time.
Wu jiang adored the scenery of the lake until she saw a silhouette of something, so she followed it in thought that it was a ghost, she jumped on the roof top where she had seen it and followed it. her speed was faster than lightning when she ran and when she felt she had reached close to it she pulled her sword out from her sleave which were engraved with the words of her name 'wu' and pointed at its back "stop" she repeated it again "I said stop" as the silhouette stopped moving and it turned out to be a young man around the same age as her with white hair and silver mask "who are you? Who sent you here? Have been following me? How long have been following me? What is you motive?" she asked with the most dangerous death glare with her sword pointing towards the young man's neck ready to tear his head apart "calm down, calm down, lady, I can't answer so many questions." He replied back, his voice was a little hoarse and deep but still soothing to ear and the way he talked could make any women fall for her but the women in front of him was wu jiang even gods are afraid of her, her heart is made of iron she is better heartless. "I want answers" she looked at him strait in the eyes with no emotion and a sword at his throat. He was startled for a bit but gave it away
'Oh, wu jiang, how can I tell you, I was watching you this whole time, how I have become a fool for you' he thought but his thoughts never did reflect any of his actions "how about we take a walk while I answer your questions, my lady, that won't do any harm right?" he tried pushing her sword from his neck where it had been pointed but it was still pointed at his throat which had some blood on it as well, he was powerless against her "my lady I will answer please pull your sword away". She hummed and pulled her sword back but was still on guard "now answer" she looked angrier than before but he loved her glare… "Ah... Yes, my name is hwan, i'm an erand boy here my lady, I am a new recruiter here so I wasn't aware of the directions and some of the noble ladies tried to prick on me due to my face always covered with mask, they even broke it and took me to this place and pushed me in the water, I was just drying my clothes here when you arrived .I wasn't sent here by anyone, I just lost my way, I have been following you because you seem to know the way back" he awkwardly said it to her, "so my lady do you have any other questions?" he leaned forward to her face, his heart skipped a beat but wu jiang wasn't affected at all.
"I see, you cannot be trusted at all" she kept her calm while the young man cried out "then how can I be trusted my lady" "I don't want your trust" she was too stubborn for trusting an errand boy"my lady how can please you?" it seemed as if he begged to her for her trust. Just after he spoke she heard footsteps which hurried towards her,she saw an empty room, she grabbed the young man's sleeve and dragged him from the way and pulled him towards herself, the both of them were in that tiny room and were in a very uncomfortable position it was as if their bodies were tied together ,she asked "how much do you know about me?" she whispered "I've heard a lot about you that how cruel you are but I don't believe in them, how can such a beautiful lady be cruel" he whispered the answer " is this your assumption?young man" she scoffed while he agreed " you seemed to to be very sure about it dont you know that this is the sword which has killed thirteen thousand troops in one go" she looked him dead in the "well now you seem to be running away from some servants my lady"he dueled her with same force " sometimes people have there own reasons, erand boy" she sighed " i know, i had my very own reason to leave someone dear to me" it became a very emotional moment " are you sure you want to stick along " she questioned while breaking the emotional barrier he created just because she was too awkward to answer them and he agreed "very well then, I've seen your sincerity, would you like to be disciple?" she smirked playfully while his heart skipped beats like crazy.
"s-sure, young miss " he stuttered " then, you're coming with me to the southern empire" she pulled him close towards her almost pinning him on the wall and oh well…. (hwan.exe.stoppedworking), he was now a blushing mess. "your highness, your highness" the young maid called out "cherry, you know she doesn't like being called that, try calling her female general" the servant whispered but was loud enough to be heard by by wu jiang "oh shut up, she will get it, and also why are you roaming around here arent you suppose to be in the kitchen" she bragged and pushed him away and he ran off "your highness , I am the maid sent by lady mingguang" she spoke loudly … almost seconds later she summoned herself from thin air near the maid "why did she sent you here?" she questioned "your highness, young miss sent me here to bring you back to the banquet, please come with me you need to be there" she replied " fine, lead the way…" she sighed and looked back the see the white haired servant whom she just met but he was nowhere to be found.
BANQUET
As for wu jiang that was the most boring thing to do, attending family events and banquets was like nightmare to her. The only interesting thing which we jiang liked was the dance of young women who looked very enchanting, her silky smooth blond hair fluttered from the wind, her dress was redder then maple, her eyes were darker then darkness itself, her hands flared in air ,light as feather, her dance was polite and smooth .It looked like she had everyone's attention until her performance was over, she was praised and then there were presents offered by other officials to the emperor and the empress, wu jiang offered tons of gifts and had gotten a legendry sword and two hair pin in which one was made up of green jade and gold and other one was a red jade and gold hairpin other than that she got a red colored dagger which was beautifully hand-crafted, also she got a storage ring filled with dresses within it, tons of swords and her white haired disciple which she found accidentally in return.
