Dragon's Soul Chapter 45: Surprise!!

"Let's go back to camp everyone." Zhang said.

"Yea there's nothing to do at the camp." Ai added.

"I heard from one of the soldiers that there is an open field of flowers not far from our camp how bout we go there." Yuying said.

They continued walking and chatting with each other leisurely until they walked into an opening in the forest. The opening was filled with many kinds of different flowers.

Soon Yuying and Ling both joined her. The three beauties played in the flower field and picked the beautiful flowers.

"This will do. If one had free time, then it is best spent wooing women." Zhang chuckled in his mind.

When Zhang looked up to see three smiling faces looking down at him.

"Oh that's very pretty." Ai said as she reached her hand out in front of Zhang waiting for him to put it on for her.

After Ai get her bracelet Yuying and Ling got theirs.  

"They'd be jealous of me." Zhang said.

"They'd be jealous because I have three very beautiful women to give these bracelets to." Zhang said as he pulled Yuying and Ling down onto himself. After Yuying and Ling fell Ai soon followed. By now the three beauties were used to this and laid down beside him.

"Moments like this won't last forever but that doesn't mean we can make more of them." Zhang said as he pulled her in closer to himself.

The four of them laid in the middle of the field of flowers looking at fluffy clouds floating in the sky.

"Yea it does. That one over there looks like a fish." Ling said.

Zhang truly felt that even if someone offered him the world to trade places with him right now he would decline.

Because even if a man had many beautiful wives, if they didn't get along, then there would never be a happy home to come home to.

"For Yuying, Ai, and Ling to get along so well was a gift from heaven to me." Zhang thought.

"Yes we are only going to get one flag, I already have made plans to make the last stage of the tournament be highly favorable for us.

"That there is the constellation of the north called the black tortoise. And that is the constellation of the east called the azure dragon. Over there is the vermillion bird of the south." Zhang said as he pointed to some stars in the sky.

"Have you guys heard the story of the cow herder and the lunar goddess?" Yuying asked.

"Yea tell us." Zhang.

"But this is just a story I'm not sure if it's true or not." She added.

From his interspatial ring Zhang made a large blanket appear.

No one replied to his question nor did anyone get up. So thus the group slept outside in the flower field.

Overnight all of the Titanic Golden spiders gathered in the flower field. They could be seen hiding under the bushes of flowers.

Later in the day king Huang He arrived along with his entourage. A large stage was put together outside of the forest. On the stage a large hourglass was placed and ten flag holders could be seen on top of that stage.

One by one these people came and eventually ten people were sitting on top of the stage.

"No not yet not until the sand in the hourglass all drops to the bottom." Huang He replied.

On stage the ten people with flags were waiting for the end of the first part of the tournament while chatting amongst themselves.

"Ming Jiang as impatient as always. Waiting a bit longer won't kill you. I suggest you just bear with it and not make a scene." The young man said.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I want to take the throne from my brother?" Shu Shang replied with a glare.

"Hmph even if I don't become the next king I will still be a duke and my territory in the Shu kingdom will still be bigger than your entire kingdom. What's the point of fighting with my brother over something that's not mine?" Shu Shang sneered at Ming Jiang.

"And you're not going to? I heard that your father fancies your little brother very much maybe he will replace you and have him as the crowned prince."

"Hmph if it isn't prince Liu Pi. You still sucking up to Ming Jiang?" Shu Shang sneered

Huang He seeing that said had roughly a few minutes left stood up and walked to the center of the stage to speak.

And in an instance a figure jumped out from the crowd and grabbed that flag that Liu Pi had possessed.

This person would be recognized as Zhang and the person that used the whip in the crowd was Ai.

While many people were watching in confusion. Everything happened so fast they were not able to fully process it. Ming Jiang was the most stupefied because he was the closest person to Liu Pi at the time

After Liu pi was hit by the whip he was knocked off stage and smashed into the ground knocking him unconscious. The attack had taken him totally off guard since he was busy helping Ming Jiang argue with Shu Shang.

"Without further ado let's being the picking of teams. Each team will be composed of one thousand people since the final part of the tournament will be somewhat like a mock war. All participants pick wisely when choosing who will join you for the final battle."

"Each set of armor has a glass plate in front of them and once these glass plates are broken then the person wearing the armor will be taken out of the battle. At the end of the tournament whoever still has a tower under their team's control will be a victor and will have a chance to enter the treasury of our Heilong kingdom and pick out one item to take home."

Ming Jiang and Liu Pi were very close friends since their kingdoms were neighbors and had always been on very good terms. And for Zhang to take out Liu Pi like that, Ming Jiang would definitely go look for revenge.

Unlike everyone else Zhang did not need to look for people to serve under him. Unlike everyone else who just brought regular servants he brought soldiers. He had planned for the final part of the tournament ahead of time and brought along five hundred soldiers he only needed roughly another five hundred.

"My lord all of the preparations have been done."
