Drums of War

  While Hui Yue expected that he would be done with the army as soon as they had won, he soon found out that they had no idea about many basic things. Such as how to manage an empire. He told them about taxes; he taught them about matters of the military to help build up their army so that they could keep their hard earned country, and he also talked about the job of an official. Lady Sun especially ended up finding all of this information incredibly interesting, and she was soon chosen as the governor of Siban.

  During the time when Hui Yue was within the capital, he noticed that Cai Jie didn’t leave. He found a house he took a liking to, one that was just next to Hui Yue’s. He participated in every meeting and for some reason, none of the beasts question his presence. It seemed as though they all assumed that he was a friend of Hui Yue’s.

  It took Hui Yue a whole two months to teach Lady Sun all she would need to know, and after he had finally given all the information she needed to know, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

  “That is it, isn’t it?” Cai Jie asked with a smile on his face. Hui Yue looked at the golden man questionably at first, but his expression soon turned to a smile. “I need to say goodbye to Wan Qiao,” He said with a shrug. “But I agree, it is time for us to leave the world of beasts and return to the world of humans.”

  Smiling at each other, the white and the golden young man went towards the house which the One-Horned Jasmine Eagle claimed as her own.
