Little Silver went ahead and started training, closing himself in his room. Before Lin Yu Yan starts her training, she needed an army. Her father is a powerful general of the Wang empire so she needs all the help she can get.
It's going to take Silver a while before he is done so it shouldn't take long before she can return home. Her home is too big for just two people to live and is a perfect hiding place for her men to train.
A week later, Lin Yu Yan heads to Taiyang city. There should be a slave trade there. It took her a whole day to get to Taiyang City. Before she entered, she wore a cloth on her face covering her nose and mouth and leaving only her eyes visible. Her scar on her forehead is a dead giveaway so she used her hair to cover it.
Lin Yu Yan head to the Medicine shop to see if she can get some money selling the the longevity pill and beauty pill.
Lin Yu Yan walks up to the counter. There was a girl, 17 years old, at the front desk. She welcome Lin Yu Yan and with the little money Lin Yu yan has left, she bought a couple of low grade spiritual herbs for her elixirs. The girl quickly gathers all the herbs and places it in front of Lin Yu Yan.
"That will be 50 pieces of silver."
'What? Only 50 pieces of silver for all this.' Lin Yu Yan just places one piece of gold for the girl and says, "Keep the change."
The girl was surprised. Judging Lin Yu Yan with the clothing she wears, she was sure she wouldn't have even a piece of silver but having gold?
"I also want to sell you something." Lin Yu Yan held 2 pills that just appeared out of thin air and place them in front of her. The girl stares in disbelief at the sight in front of her. Her eyes opened wide and held the pill in her hand to inspect farther.
"Please hold on a moment." The girl quickly went back to the storage and she can hear the girl panicking.
Lin Yu Yan went to sit down since she has been running this whole time. And heard a loud girl from the other side of the store. She recognize that voice.
"I'm the crown prince's fiancee, and the granddaughter of the Great General Lu!" It was Lu Tian Tian.
'Wait, I thought she was engaged with the 4th prince?' Lin Yu Yan was confused and ask someone nearby. "Excuse me miss, Lu Tian Tian is engaged to the crown prince? I thought she was engaged to the 4th prince of Wang?"
The woman who was asked was surprised. 'How does she not know?' But instead of questioning further, she just answers the question.
"The Third prince caught a disease and is now unable to cultivate. He's turn into a good-for-nothing prince and the emperor lost interest and appointed the 4th prince as the crown prince."
"Wait, how about the 1st and 2nd prince?"
"What? Really!? You don't know!? 1st prince died in battle against the Lu Tian Jie when Lu Tian Jie went against the Wang Emperor 7 years ago. The 2nd prince died from a deadly poison 5 years ago. I pity the emperor, his other sons are known for good-for-nothings but the 4th prince."
The woman looked down and sighed. Lin Yu Yan is now surprised.
"What do you mean the battle against Lu Tian Jie!?"
"Lu Tian Jie has rebelled against the Wang emperor for killing his lover. Apparently, one of the Emperor's wife pushed Lu Tian Jie's lover off a cliff and Lu Tian Jie planned his attack for 3 years. Luckily, his brother, Lu Dao Fang caught up on the act and was able to defend the empire."
"Lu Tian jie is dead?"
"Lu Dao Fang stabbed him and fell of the cliff apparently the same way his lover died. It's too bad though, Lu Tian Jie was such a handsome man and he is the youngest general appointed at age 18. He was a genius in the family but it's disappointing he ended up like that. He's the reason other then the great General Lu, that the family is still considered noble.
His wife, Gu Wang Shu married his brother since Great General Lu still favors her. There is a rumor going on, that Lu Tian Tian is actually Lu Dao Fang's child instead of Lu Tian Jie. She does look more like Lu Dao Fang then Lu Tian Jie. I'm sure they have heard the rumor as well but has not said anything about it so it seems the rumor could be true."
