A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 139 – Conversation
That morning, Sung Han and Yang Ruan entered a still quiet restaurant. Presumably this stall just opened a few minutes ago, because it looks the waiters who are still busy arranging all the furniture in the room. Tables, chairs, and so on.
The arrival of the two as the first customers was of course welcomed by them. One of the middle-aged male servants ran over and saluted.
"Young ladies and gentlemen, what message would you like? It's still early and it's cold, our food and drinks are still hot."
"Two bowls of bakmi gravy, with hot tea" said Sung Han who directly walked towards one of the tables followed by Yang Ruan.
Not long after, their food and drinks arrived. Smoke still billowed from their two orders. Sung Han and Yang Ruan immediately ate, while conversing about the matter in this village.
"How high do you think his intelligence is?" asked Sung Han to open the conversation.
Yang Ruan only replied after eating two of his official mouthfuls, "Entah. But in my estimation, at least to fight us, he won't be able to."
"What if you fight alone?"
"I can't be sure of that. But if it's one-on-one with you, I'm sure you won."
Sung Han nodded and sipped his tea. Then continue eating in silence. After some time they were accompanied by silence, Sung Han again said.
"What do you think that guy threw last night?"
Yang Ruan seemed to think, he played his chopsticks around in the bowl. "Maybe something valuable to this village?"
Not yet Sung Han replied, from the outside of the diner, there were sounds of footsteps of some people. Sung Han and Yang Ruan simultaneously turned their heads to look, as they were curious about the conversation spoken out loud.
As soon as he entered, there were five handsome and dashing young men who immediately sat at one of the tables. They ordered food and continued chatting about the same topic.
"That's fake, sure!!"
"Where is possible!? If it's fake, try to explain to her how she went for three days!?"
The first man could not answer. The second person said again, "Obviously it's genuine, everyone knows it. There is a difference between the fake and the real. It is a mustika that if worn, the jewel will turn into invisibility. And if it's removed, it's just white."
"Who doesn't know about it!? It could have been that everyone had faked it by putting down a pure pearl, right?" reply to another.
The person who had denied it again, "Suppose it was fake. But we have to pay attention to one thing where the Red Eagles never lie. You know old man Cao went crazy to see the massacre in the next village."
"That's right!" this time the person who had just been silent, whose face was slightly dark said, "Didn't he settle down a month ago in the next village to sell his things? Ahh.really, he came home in a slanted brain."
Suddenly, a young man came to their table. He was Sung Han who was already feeling very curious. Directly Sung Han pulled one of the seats and sat there, "I've heard of the Red Eagles rebel."
Of course the five people became astonished by the arrival of this person. They considered Sung Han to be a simple ordinary traveler. Visible from his dark gray clothes with those wide sleeves, black pants and shoes that were already a little dusty, signifying he had traveled a long way.
But what was surprising was, the beautiful figure that had been sitting with this young man ever since. At a glance, the veiled woman was even more discreet than the noble daughter. White clothes were spotless, leaving them flabbergasted.
Sung Han continued to say, "Why did the eagles ravage the villages? Isn't it as a rebel that his actions are less impressive?"
One of them, conscious of his daydreams, said, "I don't know what the motive is, but if I were him, all my actions to destroy the villages were to raise a name. To get help from heretical figures. Because according to people like this, the more cruel and evil the more valiant."
"Did he rob?"
"Never rob property, only rob people's lives."
"Braiding like that you said just!!??" chuckle Sung Han in his heart who felt that speech was not fitting.
How not? The case of the Red Rajawali is killing officers and many soldiers in one village. In his case, he kidnapped the princess!
But because of finding a hiding place for Yang Ruan, they traveled all the way to the corners of the village. And in these villages, the name is not very famous. Because the name Sung Han the rebel, is on the rise in cities near the king's city. In the area, there is no one who does not know the name Sung Han.
"Then, about old man Cao? Can you give me a little bit of evidence? My wife and I are curious." said Sung Han, pointing at Yang Ruan, who was also quietly paying attention to his ears.
The five people looked at each other at once, then the youngest person said, "On that, we can't talk much for fear of offending the Cao family. You two, go to his house by yourself. There, from here it looks." he said pointing out the window, looking at the big house on a small hill.
Sung Han nodded in understanding, then asked again, "On the item that the Red Eagles threw last night. What is it, actually?"
"Hhh...!" the five people gasped in shock and their faces turned pale. Fifth, difficulty speaking. Even the servants who were still busy around them, seemed to be stuck with faces difficult to interpret.
"That's it. Just ask Miss Han" said one of the servants who quickly continued to work on cleaning the table. Pretending not to know.
"What if you say that?"
"You're an outsider, we don't dare say that. Let Miss Han, the person in question explain everything." said the person whose skin was a little dark.
Sung Han and Yang Ruan looked at each other, the more confused their hearts became.
...****************...
"Why are you so busy with this village? What about my hiding place?"
"Hhh..had this queen been jealous of a village?"
"Where is there such a thing!!?"
Sung Han ignored him. His face was serious and his forehead was slightly wrinkled. He was really curious about this Red Eagles, considering Jeiji empire and the prince Chang Song Ci who had made a fuss by daring to kidnap the princess, he could not stay silent.
For some reason, since the conflict Cloud College and prince Chang Song Ci, then unexpectedly he helped Kay Su Tek there. Then recalling his experiences during this time, all of them were mostly always in touch with the Midnight Wolf that he recently knew was headed by Chang Song Ci.
Therefore, as a custom, whenever there is evil he always associates it with the Midnight Wolf. Just like this matter, seeing that the Red Eagles were rebels, he thought that he must be conspiring with the prince. Makes him curious.
The fate of the princess has not been known since the woman had forgotten her memory, but she was sure that the two masked generals would not want to remain silent. Moreover, if the princess had her memory already returned and the prince was known as the head of the Midnight Wolf, surely they would have acted.
But given that there was no solid evidence that the prince was the head of the Midnight Wolf, then even if the princess reported to the emperor, surely the emperor would not immediately believe it. Therefore, if Sung Han becomes the prince of Chang Song Ci, he will be placing all the blame on Chang Song Zhu's rival daughter. And at this time, Sung Han suspected that the case of the Red Eagles was an attempt in the process of scapegoating the princess.
"Yang Ruan, be serious!" sung Han said firmly as the woman was about to refute again. The strong wibawa made the girl become silent.
Not long after, they arrived at the place of old man Cao who was said by one of the five people in the restaurant. Soon Sung Han came closer, but was just about to knock on the door, suddenly his head was almost hit by a bamboo stick coming from the window.
"Bad brat, what do you want my door to!!?"
Afterwards, it was heard snapping from within, "Dad, what are you doing!!!"
"Pertain him old man Cao." Inner Sung Han and Yang Ruan in unison.
