"General, we were just celebrating the new female recruit, as she is the first female to be recruited into our team, so we are celebrating it." A soldier said from behind scratching his head, Song Yuan turned to look at the girl as he studied her carefully.
"If I can remember clearly, I am the general of this camp and army, but how come I do not remember recruiting you." Song Yuan asked with his eyebrows raised as he stared at the girl.
Li Yehan blushed under Song Yuan strong gaze, "Your Highness, you might have overlooked it due to your busy schedule." Li Yehan stated, "My name is
..." She was about to continue but was interrupted by Song Yuan who was already irritated by the fact that she used underhanded means to get into his Army, but since she sacrificed herself willingly to die in the war, who was he to reject her right?
"I don't need to know your name, it's of no use to me,and mind way you address me, your comrades call me general, so please do the same." Song Yuan snickered at her, Li Yehan felt her heart ache as she heard his response.
Li Yehan has been secretly crushing on Song Yuan over the past few years, not only was he very handsome,Song Yuan was also from a royal room which means he had money, and also Song Yuan was talented at every activity, medicine, swordsmanship, archery and but a few to mention, Song Yuan was evey woman's dream man, but Song Yuan was not even a bit of sociable, that is why she used every means possible to get into his armys,as rumors are spread across that Song Yuan was only nice to the people of the army and no one else.
"Everyone listen carefully."Song Yuan yelled,with the aura of a general who has been through thick and thin with his warriors would possess, Song Yuan has been leading this Army since Song Yuan gained power, and he has been their general since then, the army were the only people who accepted him for the bloodthirsty nature that he had.
"We are going to war very soon." Song Yuan dropped the bomb.
The soldiers at first were stunned by what Song Yuan said, which nation dared to proclaim war on Qi nation, because of Song Yuan blood thirsty nature other nation's tried to avoid having bad blood with them.
"Also I do not want any mistakes or irrational behaviours from anyone including new recruits." Song Yuan ordered emphasizing on the new recruit, "We start matching by tomorrow, so start preparing, tell your families about it, we meet here tomorrow by dawn." Song Yuan added before heading out of the barracks.
After recovering from the shock the soldiers started rejoicing because it has been a long time since they went for war, their spirit had secretly expected this one day, they were warriors, and they were hot blooded, patrolling the city and apprehending criminals was not enough for them.
In a hurry the soldiers entered their tents to prepare, while some soldiers ran out of the gates to inform their families, at long last they were wearing their battle suits.
Li Yehan stood in horror as she watched the Soldiers scurry around to prepare themselves for war, Qi nation was always peaceful that was why she had the audacity to sign up for the army.
Since Li Yehan was a new recruit, she didn't have a place in the barracks, so she silently left the barracks thinking of how to survive during the war.
Li Yehan was one of the Minister's daughter, Her father Li Yemo, knowing his daughter loved Song Yuan didn't hesitate to help her get to the army, so that if Song Yuan manages to fall for Li Yehan and they got married, Li Yemo respect would increase as he would be related to the Emperor.
Li Yehan reached home in a hurry and slid open the door, their place was beautifully made with red pine wood with nets interwoven on the door and window, their front yard contained a huge orchid which the leaves fell to the ground, winter was coming, so the leaves was starting to wither and fall to the ground, the brown leaves rested on the beautiful grassland that graced The Li family manor which was written on a brown tablet hung on the entrance of the door.
Li Yemo who sat in the room frowned s he saw his daughter barge into his place just like that.
"What's wrong did the soldiers not accept you as the new recruit." Li Yemo asked after reading his daughter worried expression.
"The soldiers accepted me well is just that....." Li Yehan said but was interrupted by Li Yemo.
"Was it the Emperor, did he do something bad to you."Li Yemo asked worriedly as he stood up to check if there was any wounds in her body, apparently Li Yemo did not attend the meeting in which Song Yuan announced the war so he was still oblivious in that fact.
"It's not the Emperor father....." Li Yehan said but was once again interrupted by her father.
"Then what is it?"Li Yemo asked, making Li Yehan snap at his interruption.
"That is what am about to tell you, if only you would listen!!" Li Yehan snapped at Li Yemo angrily.
"Oh I am sorry, I didn't mean it I was just worried." Li Yemo muttered an apology making Li Yehan sigh, maybe she should not have yelled like that.
"I am sorry Father for snapping at you like that, I am just stressed out right now." Li Yehan apologized.
Li Yemo nodded accepting her apology, he led Li Yehan to sit on the cushion on the floor placed in front of a table, "Now can you tell Father what is wrong." Li Yemo cooed at Li Yehan trying to pacify her.
"I am going for war father." Li Yehan dropped the bombshell father.
