章 7: MY DAD IS MISSING

The document rolled back to General Zhong, he went through contents, and though General Zhong was less than thirty five he became General because of his talent.

He was powerful to the point that this newly succeeded King was afraid of his presence, from his looks, handsome appearance, his talent, bravery, and power, he was superior to King but he never pay heed to such kind of lowly attentions.

Opposite to him King was jealous of his every accomplishment.

King was less handsome with ordinary looks yet he married the most beautiful woman of Kingdom on the other hand General Zhong married abandoned girl.

Her parents abandoned her because she was considered ominous presence for their family and she wanted to suicide and was ready to jump in the river.

King and General learned from same master despite his utmost effort he could not surpass General Zhong back then.

When the father of present King made Zhong Xing General of Army, he opposed but his father, "My Kingdom needs invulnerable General, not a second rank warrior," his father clearly ditched his son future King.

"This General is on command of King," it was grave issue.

Huns were getting powerful by every passing day, in previous years they were not so fearless because their strength was sub-par but now it was frightening.

Three years old Huns member was taught horse riding from beginning, it was said that Huns were great horse riders, no one could compare to their horse riding skill, and they always escaped when they robbed in city.

Other painful methods were used to temper their bodies like blade cuts on their faces to endure pain; such inhumane Huns were feared existence.

"Eliminate that Huns those are creating disturbance in cities and report back in court as soon as possible," King ordered General Zhong.

He came back to his lodge, did necessary arrangements, told his daughter that he was going on special mission and it might take him six months.

She was sobbing, she don't want to part with him.

"Get ready I will bring you to residence," meanwhile a maid knocked on door; she said that Queen wishes to see General Zhong in the Palace Hall.

He accompanied her to Palace Hall, Queen and King was present, "Jen will be more safe in Palace and I suggest General to stay her here, I will personally pay attention to her matters," there was no objection he knew Queen was kindhearted and treasure his daughter, her presence on his daughter side would ensure the safety and security of his daughter.

"I was worried before but now I am contented after Queen is willing to look after my daughter Jen," he was satisfied and could step forward and do his duty with peace of mind.

He advised Prince regarding his learning, hugged his daughter, and promised that he would be back soon…

Only six months and her father would be back soon, she should learn and it would be surprise for her father when he would return, she mettle herself.

Her day was boring so afternoon she went to her study, shuffled through books and found some new manuals, she opened them and started reading, history of an Archer Master was written in them and many details of actual training step by step.

She arranged training manuals and read the basic level manual first, learned it and went in the practice ring.

There was ring which was prepared and designed for Archery training, targets were put according to basic level then primary, intermediate and finally master level on very long distance.

She ordered for practice ring suit that could be comfortable during practice, next day she was staring at basic level targets, shot up arrow which missed target, again did missed, she was all day long shooting and missing, she lose her patience too.

Next day this happened again, third day Wan Hu decided to interrupt her training, he instructed her to focus on target and then shot, she followed and this reach the target round column though did not hit the central point but it reached the target.

She was hesitant to look at him, he understood, "In the practice ring we are friends, you can ask me without hesitance next time now focus and shot," few rules were same in every art, he politely urged her to do focus on target and then shot, next whole month she barely reached target central point four out of ten shots.

She took three months to complete basic level which was way long period.

Primary level after months she could not cross, it was already sixth month she stopped her training anxiously waiting for her father.

There was no news, whenever she asked Queen she said that General was on big mission this time so it would be troublesome for him to come right now, month after month passed.

She was restless, her nature was also changing, and she was always irritated to everything. She stopped her other basic learning's those were necessary for a girl.

Wan Hu noticed, Queen tried every effort to urge that there was nothing to be feared about.

Wan Hu took permission from her mother to talk to Henan, she also wanted her wellness. She had promised General that she would care his daughter, she was equally worried now.

Wan Hu sent messenger about his arrival, she was thinking to reject this arrival but suddenly he knocked and entered in.

She welcomed him heartlessly; he ordered attendants to leave the room then sat on chair beside her bed. "You sure are worried about your father," after clearing his throat he voiced.

"He is my father why would not have I worried about him?" "I am also worried he is my master," voiced with serious tone that immediately attracted her attention.
