A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 252 – Report Sung Han
Sung Han and Sung Hwa continued their journey eastward. Early in the morning even before the sunlight appeared, the two had already packed up and set off on foot.
This young husband and wife did not want to be too rushed. They travel to enjoy the natural scenery. But even so, they are not negligent either. Not that by traveling arbitrarily, they will turn to take a chance. They, however, kept the covenant. Even in the quiet time, between dusk and evening, they will exert the science of running fast. And this is far enough to be a few kilometers.
Finally, one night, they arrived at the hilly area where the Midnight Wolf was residing. They decided to rest until morning. After that, they went up the hill.
"That's the place" muttered Sung Han as soon as the two reached the top of the highest hill and gazed down.
A giant building, a fortress that looks strong. This cannot be called a black headquarters, it makes more sense to call it an imperial army fortress.
But now the view there is very much different from a few years ago. Where there are a lot of people dressed in black who pass by there. Makes anyone who looks from afar, feel shudder.
"Go there?" Sung Hwa asked.
"Wait what else?"
The woman smiled, very sweet. She wrapped her hands around Sung Han's arms and took her husband down from the hill. "Then, come on."
"Why your attitude? It's not usually this sweet." Confused Sung Han with a frown.
Sung Hwa was silent.
...****************...
"Who are you?"
"Sung Han and Sung Hwa. Please tell Gu Ren or who is in there," Sung Han replied without thinking.
The gatekeeper was shocked. Indeed, he was told to report inside, but because he already knew who the two people were who had been waiting for, then without hesitation they welcome.
"Let me take you to the princess's place."
"Thank you."
As soon as the gate opened, a familiar sight entered the senses of Sung Han and Sung Hwa. The buildings that they remember as cursed places, have now been conjured up by the princess as a military place.
The warehouse containing useless items had been used as a weapon storage. Then a large place that was once empty was used as a ration storage barn. The prison, which used to hold Sung Han and Sung Hwa, has been converted into warrior rooms.
It is very different how they feel between then and now. If you had seen it from afar it was terrible, now entering this place, seeing gallant soldiers passing by, a little less nervous they were to go to this battle.
Arriving at one of the buildings, they were told to just go in because everyone already knew the names of Sung Han and Sung Hwa. This couple thanked him and then without hesitation opened the door.
As the door opened, Sung Han and Sung Hwa immediately frowned when they saw what was happening inside. The two lyrics to each other with eyes imply a feeling of dislike.
"Ah, they have come ...," whispered one of the people Sung Han did not know.
Instantly the commotion due to the heated debate stopped. Everyone at the round table turned to find a pair of young and young people.
Sung Han with his wife jemura then immediately sat on the chair that had been provided. Gu Ren who was beside Sung Han showed a look of gloating face. It signaled they felt bad because the guest had just arrived, immediately told to solve a problem without being treated to a dish first.
"Is this what Sung Han and Sung Hwa are called? The two former rebels? You guys really hung–"
"They're not rebels!" khuang Peng. Sung Hwa was a little surprised to learn that a young man he knew was a gentle patient character who could snarl so hard.
The magnate who spoke in a disdainful tone earlier snorted as he rubbed his mustache. "Then, you want to pin the hopes of the entire empire on them? No kidding!"
Princess Song Zhu gritted her teeth. "You're just a general, even quite new because it was only appointed two years ago. What do you know about the warriors behind me?"
Both Sung Han and Sung Hwa had no idea what was being debated. Looks like a general who spoke earlier was always the heater of the atmosphere. His speech contained dislike for the warriors behind the princess. And this incited the generals and other officers a little.
As for Princess Song Zhu, trying hard to convince them that there was no choice but to use the help of the warriors. This was the second War of History, no other choice considering the generals of the Jeiji Empire were very tough.
"Wait!" Sung Han interrupted while raising his right hand. "What are you guys talking about? We both don't understand."
All eyes were on him. Some looked fiercely, some looked in awe full of respect. These were made up of people who had met Sung Han in the raid of the Daun City palace. But for the officers who looked on that dislike, was a bunch of new people who didn't know him at all. Just know him as a former rebel.
The princess sighed. "Sung Han, you listen. There is a serious problem that has been heard recently, that there are still many remnants of Jeiji troops who are still confined to the north, and hiding. They just show up whenever they want."
"Also the problem in the south that there is no certainty at all. Makes us all feel anxious" continued Gu Ren.
However, the mustachioed general earlier let out a contemptuous snort. "Hmph, you brat yesterday afternoon better just follow and listen. Don't pretend to be someone important here."
"Ck, you!" Sung Hwa was already stirred in emotion and got up. But his hand was held back by Sung Han who was completely unaffected by the remark.
"Open, please listen to my explanation. We have just been informed that the Midnight Wolf people who went south, were to ask the Jeiji Empire for help to rush over. Coinciding with that, if the southern Jeiji people had attacked here, then the Jeiji troops who were confined here stayed out and messed up."
Everyone's faces stiffened. Even the arrogant general was stunned. But it didn't stop there, Sung Han's explanation wasn't finished.
"I was also informed that the prince had allied himself with Jeiji. But they had not allied themselves with the southern Jeiji side before it was destroyed."
"How is it possible!" Khuang Peng stood up. His face looked riled up and the wrinkles on his face became more visible even though he was young. "So all this time, we ...."
"Yes, we lost a step. Luckily the princess took a firm decision to level the palace of Leaf Town. And even more fortunate, sorry, the prince foolishly killed the emperor. If only the emperor were still alive, then there would be no way the princess would be pounding Leaf Town and there would be no way we would even know this truth. As a result of the collapse of the Leaf Town palace, their plans went awry and so this is it."
Hearing of his father's death being used as a "luck", somewhat irritated Song Zhu's heart. But he could see the reality in that speech.
"The problem remains one, we must withstand the onslaught of Jeiji's forces from the south. If it works, it'll all be a little easier. I think," continued Sung Han. After that he just kept quiet, following this meeting by listening more often.
