Lu Liang

Back inside the manor, Gao Liang walk to the side of his wife Xoa Liang while looking intently at his son who he named Lu Liang.

Lu Liang skin was beautiful color of white with a little pink on his cheeks and eyes bright as the stars.

'This child....'

Xoa Liang look at her husband with sharp eyes "What's the matter?"

Gao Liang who was in deep thought snap back to reality from his wife words.

"I'm just thinking about how someone like me who only good at warfare can have a son this beautiful"

"You do know that he took after me right?" Xoa Liang plan to tease Gao Liang a little.

Shock by that remark "Hey hey, if I'm not handsome then how did I get you?" Gao Liang rebuked.

"You know...."

Before Xoa Liang can make a comeback, Gao Liang clear his throat and change the subject.

"Xoa Liang, I have something to tell you"

Xoa Liang who was still irritated from being cut off looked at her husband "What is it?"

With a serious face, forbidden words start to flow out from Gao Liang "Our son was born under the son of heaven star...."

As if hit by thunder Xoa Liang looked silently at Lu Liang who was held in her arms.

She decisively made her choice without hesitation "We must keep this a secret for as long as we can, kill all the servants that know of this who doesn't have deep ties with the clan and plan for the future well."

"Once the other forces catch wind of this, our Liang clan will no longer know peace and our son will be in danger of assassination."

With a resolute face Gao Liang nodded "Yes, the world is in great turmoil due to the emperor death. Warlords and clans like us are fighting for dominant everywhere."

"If they find out about our son who could potentially be a threat to them. They will stop at nothing to get rid of him."

"It is time for our Liang clan to prepare for war secretly in the shadows as well while staying passive for other powers to see and move when the opportunity present itself."

Not long after Xoa Liang and Gao Liang conversation, an order was pass down to capture and kill all servants who knew about the phenomenon in the sky during Lu Liang birth.

Some was buried alive, while others was beheaded. Screams,pleading, curses can be heard everywhere in the execution ground.

"Curse you Liang clan for your cruelty, you all gonna die a horrible death!"

"Please don't kill me, I won't talk! I promise!"

A young boy look in front of his mother and cry "Momma I don't want to die....wahhh wahhh"

"It's ok my son close your....."

Before she could finish comforting her son, her head have already drop into the basket and blood splatter onto his face before his head also falls.

The death of these servants is only the beginning in Lu Liang journey.

*******

In a blink of an eye, six years have already pass and many changes has occurred.

Four major faction and six clan from hundreds of different forces rise to power.

The imperial family have stabilize there power to the rich grassland in the east . The Fang kingdom have taken power to the hushed and dangerous land to the west. The Pei kingdom to the south dense forest. The Chi Kingdom to the north marshland.

While the six clan resides within them, tributes are demanded annually and the Liang clan is no exception.

*******

Lu Liang who is now six years old was more dazzling then before. His handsome features made many maidens heart beat faster.

However, at this moment his face is anything but dazzling because today is training with the notorious masochist Tuong Liang.

"Uncle Tuong Liang, please spare me."

Lu Liang who is only six is currently in a squat position holding a fifty pound sandbag.

"Hmp, when your father was your age he can do a hundred pounds!"

With sweat pouring down his body continuously, Lu Liang gritted his teeth.

"But I have been like this for two hours!"

Tuong Liang simply just shrugged his shoulders "Pain make you stronger, so stop complaining otherwise you will stay like that longer."

Lu Liang could do nothing but sigh in his heart as he watched Tuong Liang walked to another poor soul in the distance "I will make you pay later."

One hour later.....

Plob plob

Sounds of heavy sandbag fell to the ground and Lu Liang fell on his butt gasping for air while looking at Tuong Liang back.

"I must make that old masochist pay no matter what."

Tuong Liang who never went far from Lu Liang turn around and smirked.

"How are you gonna make me pay?"

That voice was more dreadful then any devil to Lu Liang as his entire body stiffened up.

But what come out of Tuong Liang mouth next make Lu Liang want to cry.

"Do a hundred laps around the camp, 300 push up, and 500 sit up."

Just like that Lu Liang tough day got a whole lot tougher.
