Next comes a beautiful bird which can talk. Auctioneer removed the cloth on the cage. Yizhen saw the bird with red and blue feathers, she said, "scarlet macaw, it's beautiful." Auctioneer has announced the initial bid for this bird is "500 gold coins." Yuxuan saw yizhen's eyes shining like bright stars when she saw the bird. A man dressed in blue robe shouted, "1000" Yuxuan shouted, "2000" Yizhen then realized she forgot she was with yuxuan all this time. She turned her head and saw him bidding, and he bought the bird at 3000 gold coins.
Once again, they have heard the knock on the door. A girl came in and gave the token to yuxuan. When auction was finished, they paid money and bought their items. Han came to speak with yizhen, "young master, do you want your money as gold tickets?" She nodded her head. Han handed her gold tickets. Yizhen asked yuxuan, "Do you like birds?" Yuxuan said, "It's a gift for my friend." He gave it to her. Yizhen was shocked and said, "for me..." He said, "when you saw this bird, you are so excited and your eyes showed me. You have liked it." Yizhen said, "thank you for this gift." She said to the bird, "call me, master" The bird said, "master" Yizhen and yuxuan smiled.
Next day they checked out from the inn. Yuxuan asked, "Where are you going now?" Yizhen said, "I am going to northern Qi." Yuxuan said, "I am also coming with you. It's not safe to go alone." Yizhen nodded her head. After seven days, they reached Qi kingdom Yizhen changed her clothes into black and tied a mask, which she made on her face.
She sneaks into the palace along with yuxuan and when she reached to the empress room. She saw she was sleeping and she replaced the incenses in the box with poison incense and lit an incense. She went onto the roof and said to yuxuan, "let's go." Yuxuan asked her, "Did you finished your work" she nodded her head. When they went back to the inn, they saw a person was waiting for them. He knelt down, cupped his hands, and said, "Your highness, I have killed him."
Yizhen was shocked by hearing the word highness does he belongs to the royal family. Yuxuan said, "You may leave." Yizhen asked him, "are you from royal family?" He said, "Yes. I am the crown prince of Chen kingdom."
She bowed her head and cupped her hands; he stopped her and said, "No need to pay respects just be as usual. My guard has killed the person whom empress has hired to poison you." She said, "Oh." The person who was with me is a prince. He doesn't have any attitude and how friendly he was.
Next morning they left from the northern qi. When she reached home, she told Yan and Yichang how she poisoned the empress. Actually, yuxuan has sent his guards to clear their way so yizhen can finish off her work easily.
Yan informs to Yizhen," I have inquired about jingyi's parents. His father is a business merchant. He was killed by bandits two months back. His uncle took over his business and house and threw these kids out of the house. His mother passed away after giving birth to his sister."
Yizhen felt pity and said, "Brother kill jingyi's uncle and take over his properties back and sell them. Yan killed jingyi's uncle, sold their properties, and gave the money to her.
Yizhen went to the orange courtyard and said to him "Jingyi I heard that your uncle took your properties and kicked you out of the house. I have killed him and sold your property here is the money. Take it." Jingyi said, "Brother thank you for your help. Can I learn how to manage the inn?"
Yizhen said, "Of course, I will ask my big brother to take you with him starting tomorrow. Jingyi do you want to learn sword fighting?" Jingyi nodded his head. Yizhen said, "Then my big brother will teach you." She left the room. She said to Yan, "Big brother please teach jingyi sword fighting and he will go to inn with you. Teach him how to manage it." Yan said, "Ok."
In the palace:
Emperor is seeing the reports on the table. A masked person appeared, he bowed and said, "Your majesty, according to our spies in the northern qi, they are planning to attack Chen kingdom."
Emperor thought for a while as yichang knows about qi kingdom domain well. Therefore, it is better if yichang was appointed as general to lead Chen army. He wrote an imperial edict and gave military tally to the masked person. He said, "Give this edict and tally to general yichang." Masked person bowed to him, took the tally and left.
Yichang received the tally and edict and informed to Yan and yizhen, "There would be a war as qi kingdom is planning to attack Chen kingdom. Therefore, you both take care of you. I don't know when I will be back" Yizhen prepared few dishes and packed food items and his clothes.Yizhen hugged yichang and said, "Be careful and don't get hurt. Eat on time brother" Yichang took his horse and left to the border.
At the border:
Yichang went to his camp and he stood in front of a map and observed it. A person entered and bowed to him and said, "General, Is there anything I need to do?" Yichang said to him, "Hai cang, how is army training going on? I want an aerial rope way tied to the city walls and the trees opposite to the city walls. As there is open space between trees and city walls. It would be easy for us to attack."
Hai cang said, "Our army training is going well and I will do it as you have ordered me." Hai cang left from the tent. Yichang thought, "According to my spies Qi kingdom is sending 70,000 soldiers. However, I have only 50,000 of soldiers. Therefore, I have to kill Qi kingdom army using smart techniques.
