A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 228 – Identity Of The Imps
Xian Fa already knew this man, a man who might be almost fifty, or fewer. It has seen a lot of wrinkles but still looks stout and good looks.
Once his cover was exposed, he showed absolutely no weakness by showing a fearful expression. Instead, he glared at Xian Fa and Han Ji alternately as his mouth curses.
"Kill me if you want. You rebel dog! Who's afraid of dying?" said.
Han Ji did not understand Xian Fa's change of attitude. Why did the young man look so surprised. Suddenly he asked. "Who is he? You familiar?"
Xian Fa looked at him. "Of course, get to know well." He saw the man back. "He's the head of the Black Dragon. Gu Ren."
Now it was Han Ji who was shocked and he almost squealed loudly if not quickly silenced his mouth with his hands. "D-he's this?"
Xian Fa just nodded.
Gu Ren showed absolutely no fear once his identity was discovered. Although there was a look of shock on his face, but his mouth was cursing. "Kill me, who's afraid of death? You fucking rebel dog!"
Xian Fa ignored him. Instead he dragged Gu Ren's feet and led him towards the small cottage where they used to talk. Once there, Han Ji lit a candle but was prevented by Xian Fa from lighting a second candle. The young man said.
"Just one, this is our secret meeting."
Xian Fa then sat Gu Ren's body on the bench, while he himself and Han Ji sat in front of him. Gu Ren stared at the two alternately, as if challenging.
"Who are you until you find out I'm undercover," he asked in a slightly riled up tone. "Is this some kind of trap from that rowdy prince?"
"He's the real prince, as far as I am concerned," corrects Han Ji.
"Only his blood is that of a prince, his demeanor is even inferior to that of a robber! Just dare to play coward!" back Gu Ren glanced at the two alternately. "Hayo quickly kill me, I've already denounced your lord."
Han Ji glanced at Xian Fa, handing everything over to the young man. As for the young man himself, not showing any expression. Just flat and occasionally sighing long.
He took off his caping hat and once again sighed. Put down the face cloth and said. "It just so happens that our goals are the same. It seems that you also hate that one prince to the point of having to go into this tiger's den."
Gu Ren frowned. Interested, curious and doubtful. "You mean?"
"I'm not a rebellious dog, just want to be tricked" Xian Fa said as he pulled his fake beard. He rubbed his face a few times and saw his real face. "I thought you still remembered me."
Now Gu Ren's eyes were wide, even his mouth was gawking so shocked he. He scrutinized every part of Xian Fa's face, sweeping it with an eye from top to bottom. "You ..., Sung Han?"
"As long as we're here, just call me Xian Fa" Sung Han or Xian Fa reminded. "It can be troublesome if someone else knows my identity."
"But ..., but ..., are you, aren't you one of them?" gu Ren asked still half-believingly.
Xian Fa laughed. "Hahaha, all of you have been slandered. You know what caused me to be accused of rebellion?"
"You kidnapped the princess!" saying so, Gu Ren's reddened face restrained in anger. When he remembered that, he was always emotional because the culprit was Sung Han. "And so many years ago, when you were a boy, I saved you. I hope I save a rebel!"
Xian Fa pemghela. And regardless of where the push came from, Han Ji clasped his hand. This time Xian Fa's face showed a slight change. A facial sharpener that imagines inner fatigue and disappointment.
"That's a lie."
"the evidence?" sue Gu Ren, he even more distrustful of Xian Fa. "I saw you yourself you're carrying the princess!"
"At that time, the princess was being held captive at the Midnight Wolf headquarters with him." Xian Fa pointed at Han Ji. And he frowned. "Include yourself."
"Han Ji."
Xian Fa's eyes narrowed.
"Alright ..," he finally relented. Han Ji rubbed his face with the sleeves of the robe and saw his real face. Gu Ren again exclaimed in shock.
"Well, you!"
"Sung Hw. I thought you knew it because my face is quite famous up north here." For some reason, this time Han Ji felt proud as a rebel. "But remember, call me Han Ji here."
"Listen to my explanation, I am sure you are not too blind to see reality. Although my story is quite unbelievable," Xian Fa said pacifyingly. "At that time, the princess was given some kind of medicine and made her faint. It was then, and by chance, that the late Kay Su Tek the One-Hand Swordsman came to Sung Hwa's rescue. While I saved the princess who had fainted, but we took a different course."
"Any rebel is natural to defend each other" snorted Gu Ren.
Xian Fa ignored him and continued. "I was disguised as a Midnight Wolf. In the middle of the road, I met your group. And when the princess wakes up, she may have forgotten her memory."
"Yes .., yes .., I believe," said Gu Ren cutting Xian Fa's words. Sounds totally uninterested. He then turned his gaze to Sung Hwa or Han Ji. "Your woes?"
Han Ji did not immediately reply, the girl gave a firm look full of confidence. And this made Gu Ren both careless and impatient.
"Your woes?" reworked.
"You belong to the patriot army, right? Being behind the princess, right?"
"Of course."
Han Ji nodded. "Then, for the time being, we become allies. When you're done, you meet the princess and tell her, 'Sung Hwa's fine', and then watch her reaction. I think that's pretty convincing you."
Gu Ren looked at him with a foolish expression. What kind of evidence is that? He then looked at Xian Fa with a gaze demanding an explanation, but Xian Fa who already knew it only nodded.
"Do that, and after that I'm responsible you'll be our best friend."
"Wahaha!!!" Gu Ren laughed as he raised his head. "Where's this joke from? I've been invited to be friends with the rebels?"
His laughter grew louder, but he found it strange why the two people still remained unmoved. Not burning emotions or irritations. The two of them just looked at Gu Ren flatly as if waiting for him to stop laughing. This action embarrassed Gu Ren himself and automatically, his laughter stopped.
"You feel sure you're right?" Gu Ren smirked.
"I'm sure," Han Ji replied.
"I'm sure of Han Ji, but not sure if the princess will also believe me after knowing she will be my wife."
Han Ji pouted and threw his face away.
Xian Fa continued. "But I'm pretty sure you've been a witness to how much we both believed in each other. And if Han Ji's words were true, I doubt you'd doubt me. You're being a bitch just because of circumstances, not your true nature."
"What the fuck?" grunts Gu Ren. "So, as long as we're here we'll be allies?"
"If you mind, please don't interfere with our business. That's all."
Gu Ren thought for a moment. The words of the two were very convincing even though the story of Xian Fa is more like a fairy tale. But there is a gap that makes the strangeness here. It was about the loss of memory of the princess at that time.
Gu Ren suddenly thought of something. If the princess did not faint and saw everything, how would it be?
Presumably the key to all of this was to risk all his fate by trusting Han Ji. If he said to the princess 'Sung Hwa is fine' and the princess showed a friendly attitude, then he would believe that Xian Fa's story was not a lie. However, Gu Ren still doubted that Xian Fa was a rebel. I don't know why.
Then what causes all this complexity is the loss of memory of the princess at that time. Because thus, there were no other eyewitnesses except the perpetrator, Sung Han himself, who at that time either helped or kidnapped the princess.
"I as a warrior am not afraid of death. I'll bet, this once, just here, as long as it's not certain whether Han Ji's words were true, then I'll just be your ally, not your best friend. Once we get out of here then our relationship is as rebel and patriot" Gu Ren said.
"But after I delivered, 'Sung Hwa is fine' to the princess ...," he paused for a moment. "And seeing his reaction, that's where I'll decide whether or not to be friends with you."
Han Ji grinned. "Try it, I'll bet too. May the princess still remember her personal bodyguard, hehe ...."
Gu Ren's eyes widened and he was a little surprised. But only for a moment.
