A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 226 – Hok Liu
As the personal bodyguards of a city lord, obviously these three people could not be far from the person he had to protect. The building where Prince Chang Song Ci lived was so vast, that the three new bodyguards could not go even to get out of the complex area of the building.
That very night, they had been given guard duty to supervise the surrounding area of the prince Chang Song Ci building. They had to spend the night outdoors.
The three lit a torch behind the grounds of Chang Song Ci's residence. Sit in a circle to feel the heat of the torch fire.
The last time they spoke was when Han Ji asked Hok Liu and Xian Fa for help in finding a burn, while he himself cooked food for them. It had happened a quarter of an hour ago and now the soup bowl they ate was clean.
"I go first," Hok Liu said suddenly as he raised himself up. "The food is good."
Han Ji only smiled faintly, while Xian Fa nodded lightly. "You want patrol?"
"Yes" replied Hok Liu. "It feels tired to sit here for a long time. Plus, I'm just like a bully."
Xian Fa laughed loosely and Han Ji lowered his face in embarrassment.
"It's good that you're conscious" said Xian Fa, who immediately received a blow to Han Ji's shoulder.
Hok Liu smiled faintly, then wordlessly left the two of them. Xian Fa and Han Ji stared at the young man's back until he disappeared behind the wall of one of the buildings.
"I feel like there is something strange about that person," Han Ji said as he added one small twig into the campfire. "What's the matter."
Xian Fa looked attentively, his eyes narrowed in alarm. For a long time he stared at the passing of Hok Liu earlier and acted as if he did not hear Han Ji's words.
"Hey, did you hear?" sue Han Ji.
"Hm, I don't think your eyes are as sharp as the eagle's," the young man replied, criticizing. He looked at Han Ji's pair of eyes seriously. "Do you pretend you don't know?"
Han Ji only displayed a confused expression. "Your mouth is convoluted."
"He's just like us."
"We are men and women. You're talking that Hok Liu can be a man can be a woman?" Han Ji laughed. Answering the words of Xian Fa which he considered as a joke. But his laughter gradually died down until it finally came to a complete stop when he did not find any change in expression on Xian Fa's face. "What do you mean?"
"Hok Liu is also undercover. He didn't really want to be a bodyguard. Just like us."
The rapid change occurred to Han Ji's expressions. If previously the remnants of his astonishment still appear, now it has disappeared altogether. Replace with a serious flat face.
"You sure?"
Xian Fa nodded. "The brown skin is fake. And whether his face is real or fake." He looked back at the direction where Hok Liu had gone. "Hopefully he has the same intentions as us. And that means he can be made an ally.
...****************...
The circumstances at that time were so tense, and everyone concerned knew that Prince Song Ci and princess Song Zhu were only waiting for time until the two clashed.
The same is true for Xian Fa and Han Ji. More and more warriors were recruited by the prince after two weeks. Almost all of them are from black.
That night, Xian Fa, Han Ji and Hok Liu sat in the small garden hut behind the princely building. Their relationship grew closer with time, and now for the umpteenth time, they meet and talk.
Xian Fa and Han Ji exchanged lyrics. Then Xian Fa answered. "I think we all know what the prince's purpose is to gather us. It was to fight against Song Zhu's daughter."
Hok Liu was now silent, acting as if he was not listening.
Xian Fa continued. "And the princess was famous for patriots. Now we're like colonizing our own country."
Hok Liu was now looking into Xian Fa's eyes, as was Xian Fa who opposed Hok Liu's view. Then strangely enough, either Hok Liu and Xian Fa or Han Ji thought the chatter was just the wind. Han Ji diverted.
"Let's have a drink" he poured tea from the teapot into each cup.
Hok Liu and Xian Fa immediately welcomed it and drank it. I completely forgot about that short conversation.
"Alright, I go first" Hok Liu said and got up and left.
Moments after Hok Liu's departure, Xian Fa and Han Ji exchanged lyrics for a while, then as commandeered, they jumped onto the roof of the hut and jumped onto another building.
Previously they had agreed, that they would spy on Hok Liu to make sure he stood on which side. Almost every time they met, Hok Liu must have left first. This elicited a sense of alignment in the hearts of the two young men.
The two had seen Hok Liu go to the residence of Prince Song Ci through the back door. Thus Xian Fa and Han Ji immediately followed through the upper path. They are good to the tile and open one of the tile.
"Floor one doesn't seem to exist" Han Ji said. "Again why enter this building if you do not look for the prince. If he's a spy."
"Any right, yeah." Xian Fa closed the roof back. "Then let's go to the prince's room."
They went to the top, third floor. Unlock the tile and immediately sneak in without causing the slightest sound.
Upon arriving inside, they headed straight to the prince's room which they did not know for sure because there had been no time to investigate.
Finally, after some time, they found a large and luxurious door that was guarded by several bodyguards on the left. There are also Horned Dragons and Black Swallow Birds wearing general clothing. Stand in front of that door.
Both of them were both shocked, feeling certain that it was the prince's room. But what surprised them the most was not the guards, but another figure whose head was seen popping from inside an urn.
"That's Hok Liu" whispered Han Ji when he could confirm who the person he saw was. "That's really him."
Xian Fa also saw that. Behind a corner, there is a large urn that becomes a decoration. And there was a long head with a funny. Under normal circumstances, it was certainly a funny spectacle to see.
The situation grew even more tense when Hok Liu accidentally met a glance with Xian Fa and Han Ji. Similarly, the two young people who were confused were about to react like what.
Dazed as to how, Han Ji subconsciously waved and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, hi ..," he whispered. Of course Hok Liu didn't hear.
