A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 109 – Student Chunglai [][][]
General Pek Kong, who was carrying his daughter's master, fled the horse towards the east. Then turn north. He deliberately took a slightly twisted path to avoid the battle behind the hill that had been reported by his men.
Right now, they were on a quiet street a little far from the battle scene. But even from a considerable distance, the sounds of the cries from the battle were still clearly heard. I can't imagine how great that battle was.
"Aughh.." lamented the princess who felt pain on her shoulders. Totokan that was done to prevent bleeding was already open and made the blood flow again.
"Mr princess!" pek Kong was shocked when he remembered the princess sitting behind him. Only then did he realize that the woman was suffering from a wound on her left shoulder.
He stopped the horse and helped Chang Song Zhu down. After that he wrapped the princess' wound with a tear to the end of his sleeve.
"Huh...why did it come to this....?" muttered Chang Song Zhu whose face paled slightly. Due to his fatigue and injuries.
"Hopeful princess don't worry too much, I will bring the princess out of here and meet the pick-up squad" Pek Kong said as he pressed against the wound on Chang Song Zhu's shoulder, "Better miss rest a little. I'd like to look around in case there's an army of mountain men around here" he said later.
Pek Kong stood up and looked around, feeling that the place was safe, he said again, "Master princess, this place is safe enough to hide. It was better for the princess not to move and stay still on the spot." she then directed her horse in front of Chang Song Zhu to cover the woman so as not to be too visible from afar. Then he went from there towards the direction of the battle to look at the situation.
In this state of being alone, Chang Song Zhu let out a long sigh. His body was tired because of the long journey, while his mind was tired of all the hassles around him.
His dealings with the rebels had yet to reach a bright spot, and it had already to be plagued with the Jeiji imperial invasion of the lands south of Chang. Not enough to get there, when in his attempt to save himself to the north, he was met with a new problem in the form of a war that he did not know why.
His face became so tired. Her forehead wrinkled deeply, adding to her old beautiful face. Without feeling it, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness. Falling asleep in the middle of this wilderness accompanied by a horse that looks a little restless.
...****************...
Actually, what happened to the mountain man kingdom? Why they fight each other while according to legend, since hundreds of years ago the kingdom of mountain man can unite. Why is this happening?
Let us follow the story of Sung Hwa, a beautiful girl who is forced to become part of a large family of mountain man kingdom because of her ambition of defeating Sung Han.
As already explained, he along with Mi Cang and Yu Nan Sia lived in the complex area around the mountain man palace. With the protection and permission of the king himself, Sung Hwa and his two friends live comfortably here.
At that time, Sung Hwa finally became a disciple of Chunglai and was taught how to gather energy from the gods, in the form of magic. Since that day, his intelligence has continued to increase.
He also got training on combat science whose movements are quite strange. Sung Hwa knew this as the typical eggplant science of mountain man.
But although strange, but every punch and kick, even a stalk, contains a very strong energy. Moreover, Sung Hwa is indeed a talented child, so briefly he became the strongest person among the entire mountain man army, of course not as strong as Chunglai.
When Sung Hwa last night with two friends doing a routine activity, in the form of dinner with the king and empress, he felt strange.
In his room, he sat pensively looking out the window, his forehead always wrinkled.
"I have to ask him!" he muttered slowly then put on his red robe and went to one place. The robe was a cloak Chunglai gave him when he became his disciple. It seemed that the healer was too happy to be willing to make the robe himself for a month and give it to Sung Hwa.
Sung Hwa came to one place and went straight to the backyard. It appears there Chunglai is sorting out the newly dried medicinal plants. Seeing Sung Hwa's arrival, he smiled.
Sung Hwa sat in the long chair there, "Chunglai, I've lived here for two years. Since every night I was required to eat with the king's family, after which there was an uncomfortable feeling in me."
"What's that?" Chunglai asked as he continued doing his activities.
"Every time I drink a wine treat that starts the king, my throat feels a little hot and my body feels weird. But if in the morning I finish training with you, and take your medicinal herbs, that strange feeling disappears."
Chunglai stopped his activities and frowned. He looked at Sung Hwa attentively. "It's been a month since you were ordered to have dinner with the king's family, why just say it now?"
"I guess it was just the effect of drinking wine, I don't know because maybe I've forgotten the taste of wine. But when I tried the best wine in the house, the ingredients were the same as the noble ones, I didn't feel that strange feeling." Sung Hwa replied honestly.
Chunglai seemed to think while stroking his chin. He muttered indistinctly as he tried to guess what happened to Sung Hwa. Then he shrugged his shoulders.
"It was probably too hard wine, so the lady felt all sorts of strange feelings. Don't think about it."
"But...."
Chunglai did not hear and went into the house. He brought a glass of dark brown water. Sung Hwa knew what it was.
"Better miss drink this potion of mine to nourish the body of the lady. Drink." he said with a smile.
"Isn't this supposed to drink after training?"
"Ah..actually there is no rule when to take this medicine. It's just a very good regular herbal remedy taken every day."
Sung Hwa did not argue anymore and gulped it down. As in previous days, the strange feeling after drinking the king's wine vanished when Chunglai medicine entered his body.
Sung Hwa secretly glanced at Chunglai who had returned to his initial activities.
"They're hiding something!" his mind is full of suspicion. If Chunglai said he knew, Sung Hwa's gaze was now sharp.
After Sung Hwa returned the glass, Chunglai said, "Continue your training yesterday. The round kick in the air is still less than perfect."
Sung Hwa complied and did as his teacher told him. But secretly he always glanced at his teacher who was still busy with medicinal herbs. This time his face was not as calm as before, full of wrinkles as if he was thinking. Even his hand on the tray was just moving at will, it was obvious that Chunglai's mind was not here at the moment. He must be thinking of something.
"Something's up. He's hiding something!" sung Hwa murmured inwardly while smashing a boulder to attract the attention of his teacher.
