A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 173 – Devil Crate Goa Gold
It was the plan of the prince Chang Song Ci. Somehow he put together a stratagem until it worked out quite well like that. Although it cannot be said to be smooth as the initial plan, but this is good enough.
The outline of the prince's stratagem is, to eliminate his rivals first. He did not want to originly move to storm the palace of the king's city because it was the same as suicide. If it was done, then the testimony of Chang Song Zhu's daughter when she invited the woman to revolt, could be considered reality because there was already evidence. All this time the prince was safe because there was no evidence of events on that day.
And as part of the plan to get rid of the princess, it does not mean that she wants to intervene to kill the princess. Instead of slandering her in various ways so that the princess was considered a rebel and one day she herself made a service to eliminate Chang Song Zhu.
Emperor Chang Song Bian was angry instead of playing around knowing who the real figure behind the golden mask was. His daughter had previously said that the gold mask was the prince Chang Song Ci, but the emperor did not believe it because there was no evidence.
But because of what the princess said, many palace people believe in it. But still they can't move.
And now knowing who the real person behind the golden mask was, many had begun to doubt the princess Chang Song Zhu. Although many still believe.
They all had no idea how the figure behind the mask was a mere fake, and the real one still remained hidden themselves.
Since she was a princess, then once this the emperor forgave her. But with a strong threat. The princess did not dare to argue, she could only accept it.
Incidentally, at the time of the uproar in the north with the princess' "lie" in the south does not mean being relaxed.
On the southern mainland of the Chang empire, there was an unusually tense tension. More tense than ever. This was because the Jeiji Empire stopped attacking and harassing.
General Hong Ciu spread his spies all over to investigate this matter. But the results are nil, otherwise the investigator is lost, must have returned home in a state of insanity.
This certainly creates great tension. The normally aggressive Jeiji Empire was, once this silent as if they had no intention to interfere.
And indeed, prince Daijin Nakagi ordered his men to stop moving for a while. While he himself prepared a large army to go to the northern plains through the sea route.
"It's definitely confirmed to you, our spies who left a few months ago have returned and brought the evidence."
Daijin Nakagi, a handsome thirty-something man, stopped his stationery. "Have him come in and show me the evidence."
"Good."
Soon, another samurai came in with a small wooden box.
"Where is the evidence?"
"This is your majesty, I've taken it." he said, handing over the small town.
Daijin Nakagi opened it, he looked inside. There was clear water in the box. But his eyes instantly sparkled as soon as he saw the glittering sand-like objects.
"Where did you get this?"
"From the river close to the cave, the river that leads to the north shore."
"So, really real about the existence of the cave?" the prince looked very excited. He took a handful of the sparkling sand and lifted it high, "This is truly original...."
"I saw it for myself, sir, though I have never been there, but the river that comes from inside the cave has proved it all."
The prince frowned, he put the sparkling sand back into the container, "You haven't entered yet? What's wrong?" tanyanya full of search.
Hearing this question, the face of this complainant pale instantly and its establishment became unsettled. Seemed restless. Of course this confused the prince and one other samurai who had told him to come in.
"What's wrong?" scold the prince.
"Paduka..really. Even I have no intention of telling my majesty. But your majesty asked, so I had no other choice" said the man half-stammering and timid.
The samurai let out a long sigh, then he began to strip off his top armor one-on-one. When all the iron clothes had been removed, he opened his cloth robe while turning his back to the prince.
Daijin Nakagi, who was looking at the person's back, was wide-eyed and his face was pale instantly. Even his hand that was holding a wooden box filled with water and sand glistened, detached and all of its contents spilled.
Another samurai who saw the back could not stand straight anymore. Even this guy fell down.
"This was the result when I tried to enter the cave. Luckily he was still willing to let me off the hook" said the samurai who reported timidly.
"Tell me as clearly as possible!" the Pinta Daijin Nakagi.
In the cave where the investigation was, there was a guard who was creepy in form. Even he himself had absolutely no idea how the real form of that person was. Just seeing there was a thick black chest that was good at flying.
"This wound was made when I was about to leave and was confronted by the guard. He said, tell your master, that I am Tok Ciauw Demon Casket Golden Goa, warning you to never dare to set foot here!!" this fellow paused for a moment as his entire body shuddered, "He's so creepy. Always hiding in the box. Once he came out somehow this wound was created and I fell unconscious."
Prince Daijin Nakagi watched the wound closely. A wound was like a deep sword slash wound, yet it had dried up. It was reddish black in color, with the surrounding skin slightly blistered. A terrible wound.
"Tock....Ciauw....?" the prince was no stranger to this name. He seemed to remember.
Then suddenly he cried out loud, "Ahh, isn't he a great warrior who lived in Shuji's time? The greatest sword forger of all time from the Jeiji empire, a swordsman who had created a Pair of Eclipse Swords!!"
The two samurai turned pale.

"Sung Han!"
"Hm...?" this young man stopped his steps and turned his body. Looking wonderfully at the beautiful girl in white robes complete with her veil.
"It seems like it's enough to get here" said the girl with a slightly decapitated breath. However, the science of lightening his body was not as high as Sung Han.
"What do you mean enough? Explain clearly!"
From the pull of his eyes, Sung Han realized the girl was putting on a smile. He didn't seem to blink looking at her. This girl's face is so beautiful.
"Don't try to tease me! That's not gonna work!" sarkas Sung Han who actually has almost faltered in his mind.
Instantly the girl's mouth pouted and Sung Han also realized this. His eyes stare. But it was just a moment before he sighed a few times and smiled again.
"You don't have to accompany me anymore, it's just a hassle for you."
Sung Han was wide-eyed, and he was surprised, "you don't bother me at all!" disputing Sung Han.
Yang Ruan shook his head, "No, that's not true. I'm really troubling you and just being a bully to you. More than that, I'm just a burden."
The two then fell silent for a long time, only their views were intertwined for a short time. The day was approaching dusk and the sunlight was reddish, the situation at that place began to dim.
"What are you going to do from here?"
"Let's go, I'll go alone to find a place to hide. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
