Third person POV

Hong er turned around after Weisheng silhouette disappear from her vision. She should start packing all her things and visit granny's grave. After she lived here quite long, she knew where she is, it need about 3 hours walking from here to granny's grave.

After she packed some food, clothes and water, she went to the training field. All the corpses had been disposed, it just like nothing ever happened. She praised the soldiers professionalism in her heart. She went to an arsenal ( a place to keep the weapons), she looked around, her face show some disappointment. Most of the weapon are twice bigger than her body. It will too troublesome to bring such a big weapon on travel.Maybe she will just pick a dagger. She grabbed a sharp looking dagger and put it in her bag. She left the camp and start her journey to find a new home.

On the other side, Weisheng quietly watching her walking to the forest. He can't help but worry about her safety. He commanded one of his subordinates to watch over her until she is a good hand. The subordinate immediately disappear from his side. Then he turned around and left.

Hong er POV

I kept walking without taking a rest, I have to get out of this forest before the sun set. It will be dangerous for a kid like me to travel alone in a forest, there is too many beasts and poisonous insects in this forest.

After three and half hours of walking, I finally arrived at granny's grave." Granny, I came back." I said while caressing thetombstone. I looked around the grave, there are so many leaves and branches, I need to clean up.

30 minutes later, I cleaned the tombstone and the field around the tombstone.Finally statisfied with the result, I plop down beside the tomstone, I took out the lunchbox and picked up my chopstick. I start eating quietly, the wind gently blow my face. " Hahaha, you guys still remember me? I will play with you after I eat."

I sat on the groundwith my leg crossed, I like to sit and touch the ground because I can feel a relaxing energy flow to my body. But I feel a weird vibration on the ground and it's kept growing bigger and bigger. This isn't an earthquake, then I put my hand on the ground, this is horses! Why are there so many horses heading here? People rarely go here because the amount of the beasts.

I close my lunchbox and wrap it back with a cloth. I touch granny's tombstone for the last time, "I will visit you again." I ran back to the forest and hide in the bushes. I observe my surroundings carefully, the vibration has gone. Where did they go?

Suddenly there is sword on my neck, " who are you? Why are you in the Thousands Beasts Forest?" a deep voice sounded out behind me. So that is the name of this forest, why granny never tell me.

I stand up but the sword pressed harder to my neck, " don't move. Just tell me your identity." I sighed,' why is my luck so bad?' " I was a slave but their camp attacked by Da Qi's army, then I was released."

There is no movement, so I turn around and shocked. How can a hundreds of men with horses suddenly appear behind you? They are Da Chu's army and that flag is the Great General Xu's family logo. The soldiers give way to a tall man in a red hare. It is the Great General Xu!

" Kid, are you a slave from the valley back there? Did they wear the same uniform as us?" the Great General Xu asked me. " Yes, I am and yes they did." The tall man look at me with a warm gaze, " where do you come from? Da Chu or Da Qi?", he asked me with a gentler voice. Maybe I am a kid that's why he didn't his guard up agaisnt me. " Neither" I answered.

Xu Tingfeng ( the Great General Xu) POV

When I got a message from Da Qi's crown prince that Bei Zhou used Da Chu's identity to attack some of the villages around Da Qi to start a war betwween Da Qi and Da Chu. I immediately deploy some special forces to spy on them. After I got the evidences, I instantly brought my elite forces to destroy them.

But on my way there, I got a message by an owl from the Crown Prince. It said that the killing part had been done, I should annihilate Bei Zhou to avoid any touble in the future. This rascal really is something else.

Right before I command to slow down the pace, a weird and familiar energy come out from nowhere. It seems like a bunch of energy of the spirits is flowing towards the place ahead of us. This wasn't any beast's presence around here. I gave my subordinates a hand signal to quietly approach the source of energy.

We slowly approach the source of the energy while hiding behind the trees. Huh? A little girl and a tombstone? The little girl seems like talking with the tombstone before running towards the forest. How a little girl like her can be in this dangerous forest? And where all the beasts go to?

Sigh, her age maybe the same as Hong er. (A/N: Xu Tingfeng gave his daughter a name. It is Xu Feihong. So he used the last name Hong and put er{ affectionate way to call someone, mostly for their child.} but both of the Hong is in different meaning but same pronounciation.)

We ( he, his wife and his family) have been searching non stop for her but there wasn't any clue to find her. I hope she live well out there.

We (he and the soldiers) have been watching all her movement from behing the tree. She is a bit clumsy but not bad, she knows where to hide and what to do. If she is under my training, I think she will be a great soldier. We moved to her behind and approach to her. No matter what, we shouldn't lower our guard.

Based on her outfit right now, maybe she is a beggar or a slave but she is clean, there are so many patches on her clothes. Maybe she only have a few clothes to survive. When we ask her identity, it confirm my suspicion.

And I continue to ask, " Do you know who attacked the valley?" " Yes My Lord, it is Da Qi's army." Oh? She seems to know a lot. So that crown prince really kill them all, woohooo~ less work.

" So where are you going?" I need to recruit her, she got some skill ain't she. She seem to shocked, " uumm, I don't have any place to go My Lord." Hhmm, good good. " Then do you want to follow us? We are kind despite our look." She was surprised by my offer and she smiled, " Thank you very much My Lord. Hehehe." She giggled. I look at her. Why does it feel so comfortable when I am with her? Its weird, hhmmm~~.
