A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 235 – We Are All Friends
Prince Chang Song Ci grew angry when he heard about the deaths of Yu Fei and Bo Tsunji. It was even more furious to learn that the killer was Hok Liu, one of his new personal bodyguards.
Previously, he had already placed great hopes on Hok Liu, Xian Fa and Han Ji. Three young people who according to the supervisor have very high intelligence. Even four testers were made to collapse by only one person.
He felt even more heartened as long as he had those three people. Because thus, the success rate for his ambition was getting bigger. That overthrew the throne.
Actually everything was ready, the army and the army of warriors from the Midnight Wolf just waited for orders from him to storm the king's city. But Prince Song Ci was looking for the right time. This time it must be the king's city being tight-knit because it is also aware of the threat. He planned to infiltrate one of his three personal guards to incite the palace people.
But unexpectedly, one of them even became a traitor.
Prince Song Ci decided to return to his palace. He gave the order by snapping without telling her what the real reason was that he suddenly asked to go home. Of course, everyone knows the reason. So that visit should be three days, now it becomes two days.
During the trip, Xian Fa and Han Ji did not say much. They put on angry faces as if to grudge their treacherous friend. Though this is just a charade that is enough to make the face of both.
Upon his arrival at the palace, the prince immediately shut himself in his room. Drown in the arms of beautiful concubines and forget all the new affairs that have happened to him. And until a few days later, Xian Fa and Han Ji were quite happy because so angry, the prince never went out of the room. This also unsettled the soldiers who were worried that Hok Liu was the princess' envoy.
But the prince did not care. He was too arrogant and arrogant. Assuming that his two personal bodyguards, Xian Fa and Han Ji can overcome the princess's men of good manners. Except for ordering to tighten the care of Leaf Town, the rest of it was simply rearranging the plan in the arms of the concubines.
And that was a big deal for him.
One night, when Xian Fa and Han Ji, who did not want to be disturbed, had to make a show to "sleep together", were startled by the sound of a window knock.
"Who?" ask Xian Fa.
"Gu Ren," replied the voice from outside.
"Gu Ren was able to open it without needing to open it from the inside," Xian Fa replied as well as wanting to make sure it was true that the figure outside was Gu Ren.
Silent for a while, before suddenly the tile opened and like a giant bird, Gu Ren perched on the floor without making a sound.
Xian Fa was about to protest, but Gu Ren interrupted first. "Sorry, I don't want to make a fuss by breaking that window" he said. He then looked at Han Ji who was asleep in bed. "Oh, I'm sorry, am I interrupting the pleasure of a husband and wife?"
"We're not husband and wife yet, we just don't want to be bothered with the other bodyguards!" reply Han Ji almost without pause. It was as if if it was not answered immediately, Gu Ren would interpret another.
"Ah, you finally agree? You said not yet, which means someday for sure, right?" xian Fa said with sparkling eyes.
Han Ji glared at him. He was more interested in Gu Ren's arrival. "The Black Dragon Chief bothered to come here, what is it?"
Gu Ren recalled his affairs and he quickly approached, sitting on the edge of the bed to talk in a whisper. "The army of princesses has surrounded Daun Town. I want your help to open the gate from the inside so as not to cause a commotion."
Han Ji sat down and tidied up his clothes. "Don't joke, the gatekeeper isn't the least."
"I'll help" Gu Ren replied.
"It's too risky if it's just the three of us. Although maybe we can take it all down, don't you think of the guard near the bell? What if he hits the bells first before our job is done?"
"Then what about the line of archers in the fort?" sahut Han Ji's.
"Do you have any sharpshooter?" continue Xian Fa.
Gu Ren raised his hand, gesturing for the two to shut up first. "Quiet ... calm down ..., let me talk." Gu Ren then opened the bundle he was carrying and showed the contents of the bundle. A guard uniform. "I'll disguise myself as a guard. I'll attack the bells at the west gate and I'll pretend to be dead as one of your murdered guards. So that you can focus on finishing the line of arrows. If anyone comes near the bell, they don't think anyone lives there."
Xian Fa and Han Ji nodded at the same time. Han Ji scanned the clothes more thoroughly then only realized something. "Blood splashes? Where'd you get that?"
"I just flew the life of a guard just now," Gu Ren replied casually. "Later if my clothes are clean, it's too suspicious."
He turned his eyes towards Xian Fa. "How, do you agree?"
Xian Fa frowned. Her feelings were really bad and she was eager to oppose this. This war was tantamount to civil war, thus weakening the imperial power. Like someone who is singing his own body.
"To be honest, I want the prince to be killed and these soldiers used to fight against the opposing empire."
Han Ji looked at him in disbelief. "You don't seem to think that way!"
"But you have to remember Sung Han," cut Gu Ren. "There are times when a person is forced to cut off a diseased body part so that the disease does not spread throughout the body."
Han Ji nodded, and Xian Fa could see the truth. Then there was no other choice, he was forced to agree.
"It is certain what the total number of gate guards is?" ask Xian Fa.
"About fifty people. Thirty men were an army of arrows upon the fortress. Ten guards at the lower gate, and ten more patrolled around the fortress.
"We'll finish off the arrows first. Because if we finish off the people above, the twenty people below will not realize" Xian Fa said. "How's it?"
"Agreed!" answer Gu Ren.
"Then, come on!"
Gu Ren immediately changed clothes and the three of them immediately headed to the west gate. In the midst of the journey, Gu Ren said something that made Xian Fa and Han Ji surprised.
"How about we raise the World King Silat?" knock the man.
Two young men looked strangely at him. "What do you mean?" Xian Fa made a sound.
"Hahaha, no, just dreaming" said Gu Ren. "But at least tonight the five of us, heirs of sacred heritage, can work together. Hahaha, my blood is boiling!"
Xian Fa frowned, also Han Ji looked suspiciously. But before they could understand the situation, from the right and left there was a very quick shadow, knowing that they had been following them from behind.
"Two former rebels, how are you?" Nie Chi greeted cheerfully.
"Miss Han Ji? Ah. .., or should I call Miss Sung Hwa?" Khuang Peng spoke.
Xian Fa and Han Ji stopped. The eclipse swords had already been uprooted and their attitude was clouded.
"What the fuck?" the Xian Fa. "Don't you set us up!" he told Gu Ren.
The man smiled patiently, looking more and more like his teacher. "I've explained everything and the princess believes. If the princess believes, what is our reason for not believing anyway?"
"That's just a story about Sung Hwa who was never considered a rebel by the princess. I'm another story!"
"Of course I told you too" Gu Ren replied. "We're all best friends."
Xian Fa looked at them one by one. He did not fully believe in the cause after all, these people used to be the first to regard him as a bully. So of course he doesn't believe it too much.
Especially with the existence of Han Ji or Sung Hwa, he really did not want to endanger the girl's life.
"We shouldn't have fought each other" Nie Chi said.
"I should be the one talking like that!" reply Xian Fa fierce. "Aren't you the reason I'm considered a rebel?!"
Nie Chi was unable to answer. But Gu Ren gave a reasonable answer.
"The masked general was not a general. Since their deaths were in your hands at that time, I was sure that they were both accomplices of the prince. So long ago, they must have known something about why the princess forgot her memory and made her accuse you of being a rebel. Well, you're not curious anymore now?"
Xian Fa looked at Han Ji, as if asking for approval. And Han Ji smiled then replied. "If they betray you, I swear I'll be on your side. Even if you have to lose life once. Believe ...."
Xian Fa could not help his smile. His heart melted seeing the smile and hearing that melodious delicate voice. Suddenly his attitude changed, which was previously fierce like a raging dragon, now grinningly showed a row of his teeth.
"You are my good wife."
Han Ji did not argue at all.
