General Tang Li walks like a zombie back to camp with her horse after her husband Xian Wen told her that even he lose his memory, he cannot love her. He will still choose his principal wife even if he can't remember. She did everything she can to remind him of the past. Whether he recalls them or not, he keep pushing her away. No matter how much she try to convince him there is nothing that she can do. As she walks through the night in the dark capital road, a group of men who are drunk accidentally knock on a night watcher who was walking with a gong. "Watch where you are going!"
Soon a fight started. A young man goes up to stop the fight but he got beaten by the drunk men. Tang Li who see this. When up and wrestle those drunk men. She use them to vent her frustrations. In a short while them are all on the ground and a group of soldiers who are patrolling come running to them. Tang Li have the drunk men arrested. The night watcher and the young man are sent to the physician house for treatment of injuries. While Tang Li hop on her horse and ride to camp. In her mind as she gallop away, she make up her mind to live like a widow.
Months later, there is a recruitment drive for new soldiers. The court have also issue out that nobleman's son are to sent to camp for training as well. The emperor have personally choose a few sons from some of the noblemen house to be train under the generals of the nation. A few happen to be located to General Tang's camp.
That morning, Tang Li is busy with the paper works for the new arrivals. While her men is sorting out the type of soldiers they can be, her corporal come walking in the tent with the paper in hand. "General Tang, this is the list of the noblemen that are joining us."
"Put it on the table. Corporal can you check their ability. After that split them up into the groups for proper training."
The corporal smirk. "General you should see if they can do anything. All of them are so weak. Each of them have their servants carry their baggage. Asking to stand under the shade. Making noise like a girly man..."
General Tang stare at the corporal and swinging her brush in-between her fingers.
"Are you done complaining? What is your job? Go and sort those noblemen out. If they cannot comply with our regulations. Get them to pack and go home. We cannot feed them here. We are not baby sitters as well."
"But this is selected by the emperor himself. He wants them to come to this camp to train. I have never train a nobleman like those outside. They are more suitable...I'm sorry. I will go out and sort it out."
The corporal rush out and Tang Li can hear him screaming. She continue her paper work. Till she hear the noblemen outside threatening her corporal. She slam her brush and walk out.
She stands outside the tent and look around for the source of noise. She walk towards it. Watching those noblemen kicking her corporal makes her blood boil. She remove her helmet and sword and pass it to her assistant. Walk up to the bully she grab his shoulders and pull him off her corporal. She immediately throw him on the ground. "I am going to complaint!!!!" He wince at the pain he is suffering.
"You can't do that to young master. " His servant rush to help his young master up.
"Please go ahead and complaint. Also please pack and leave this camp. This is not a place for you."
"I will complaint to the emperor! Just you wait! You will lose your rank! Tell me your name now! I will ask father to demo your rank to a cleaner!"
"My name? You come here and you don't know who i am?! Your father have to bow to me!"
The young man got quiet and he is wincing on the pain in his body.
"Your name! I don't care. My father takes care of this small things!"
She smirk and look him in his eye and look at the other noblemen.
"My name is General Tang. GENERAL TANG. If you don't now, it's ok. You all babies after all. When i am in the battlefield killing enemies, you are still at home drinking breast milk!!"
Her men all laugh at that point. The noblemen got frighten.
"Tell your father to come here. We will see who will get into trouble."
That young man got a fearful look and wonder what he said or do is worth the trouble.
"Man Chun, find out who is his father. Invited the nobleman to this camp and see what his son is doing here. Get someone attend to the injures. No need for this man here. Our medication is not that good enough for him. Bring him to the cage and put him in with his servant. The young master aways needs a company. Take him!"
She look at the rest of the noblemen who are all looking pale.
"Anyone who wants to join him. Please follow your fellow friend and let us know who is your father. If you do not wish to follow, i suggest you pick up your own baggage and get your humble servant to leave this camp before the sun sets. I am being very nice now. That sword over there i don't use it on our own country man. Don't be the first for this sword is sharp and merciless in comparing to me! Understand?"
