A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 257 – Sung Han's Proposal
Getting a call from the princess, the five of them immediately rushed towards the woman's residence. No one was not surprised to hear this, why suddenly the princess asked them to come face to face. This only meant that there was something about the Jeiji Empire.
Coincidentally, the five of them arrived at the princess residence complex simultaneously. The five greeted each other briefly before Gu Ren representing the others knocked on the door of the princess residence.
"Come in," the voice of the princess sounded.
Gu Ren pushed open the door and saw the figure of a woman who was actually aged but still beautiful. Princess Song Zhu was sitting in her chair, behind a small round table complete with a teapot and five bamboo cups.
The five men were yelled at simultaneously, Song Zhu's daughter immediately returned their respects and let them sit down.
"What's your majesty?" Gu Ren immediately opened his voice without further ado.
Princess Song Zhu did not immediately reply, she swung her hands at each other's glasses, telling them to drink the warm tea. "Drink first."
The five people immediately sipped the clear hot green tea that had just been served. Instantly, their body, tired from the exercise, gradually improved right after drinking a few sips of tea.
"Hm, what is this tea? Medicinal tea?" Nie Chi asked while observing the tea water. "It's great."
"That's green tea mixed with some herbs that are very useful for warriors," replied the princess with a smile. "The name is Mountain Ginseng. I heard that it's very rare and amazing for warriors."
"Huh?"
Simultaneously the heads of the five people looked at the princess who became confused. Five pairs of eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
Mountain Ginseng, is one of the rare medicinal plants that became the target of the warriors. Usually, ginseng is mixed in drinks or food. It does not change the taste at all, but its properties can neutralize toxins and increase stamina.
This plant is a hunt for warriors!
"Open, if you can tell how many Mountain Ginseng do you have?" Khuang Peng asked in a surprised tone. He looked back at the tea. "I really feel bad for your majesty for drinking this wonderful gift."
"True, why didn't you say it?" Nie Chi put down her tea glass. "We don't want to put too much weight on you."
Inevitably, Song Zhu's daughter smiled. "Ginseng's we got a lot. In the storage warehouse there are boxes. You drink as much as you can," he replied although he was not sure what the benefits of Mountain Ginseng were. But looking at their reactions, it must have been an amazing plant.
"Thank you, sire!" exclaimed Gu Ren and immediately drank the tea in his glass according to his four brothers.
Without hesitation, he then poured again from the teapot and drank it up. Same with four others. Until a few minutes later, the tea was completely depleted, leaving only empty teapots and glasses.
"Please bring it inside" the princess said to one of the servants. After the waiter cleared the table and left, he began to talk seriously. "Well, enough with that little banquet. Let's start with the main problem."
This woman thrust out a piece of mail that had previously been placed in the back pocket of her robe. He hinted Gu Ren to read the letter to everyone.
The man immediately complied and read the letter. As Song Zhu's daughter expected, there was soon a change in the facial expression of the five. Eyes wide, briefly then narrowed with furrowed eyebrows.
"Finally we have room to move," muttered Sung Han. "Then, how's next?"
"I've got general Tang to prepare his troops to prepare for the cleanup."
"We, the warriors?" ask Sung Hwa.
"Well, that's the problem" Song Zhu's daughter twitched her head and shook her head. "You all know, how the arrival of Sung Han and Sung Hwa is not very welcome here. Many doubt your abilities just because you are young. Even many of them would disagree if I asked the swordsmen for help. Looks like I can't get you in the army."
The mere sight of each other with eyes implies anxiety. If so, don't tell me that the warriors aren't fighting. Then what's the point of them here?
"Then, if you may know what your next plan is?" Gu Ren asked.
"Hehe, Khong Tiat?" chirp Nie Chi who made Princess Song Zhu's face flushed red.
"Em ... Last night he accompanied me to the rhyme," replied the princess timidly.
"I didn't ask that! I said can your majesty dive into his thoughts? Wasn't he also a strange warrior?"
Princess Song Zhu became clumsy and lowered her face. For some reason every thought of that man always left his mind blank.
"Nie Chi!" scold Gu Ren.
When he turned his head, it turned out that the four others had been staring at him with reprimanding looks. It was as if he was saying, "It's not time to joke!"
"Sorry, your majesty." Nie Chi menjura's.
"Open, if you can tell how many warriors are helping you?" Gu Ren switched the conversation by asking about it. "Maybe it might help."
The princess cleared her throat several times to neutralize her heartbeat. Then try to think. A few moments later he remembered. "If not more than three hundred but less than four hundred."
"Quite a lot," Gu Ren nodded. His gaze then fell on the young man who had only listened since. "Sung Han, what do you think?"
"You sure you want to hear?" ask Sung Han.
"Tell me what you think" said the princess.
Sung Han took a few breaths. "I've been thinking about it ever since you explained at the beginning. If so the situation, where the warriors are not welcomed by the generals and officers, then ...."

"Shelf!!"
General Tang immediately drew out the sword, followed by some of his officers. His view clearly contained a hostile attitude.
"You are not in a position to break the table in front of the princess!!" he snapped while holding the sword.
That person was the one who blatantly underestimated Sung Han when the young man first came to this fortress. The general snorted and yelled. "Sorry princess, it's just that I'm very surprised by that."
Princess Song Zhu had no time to get angry, she raised her hand, hinting to general Tang to lower the sword. "Then, can you explain?"
The general sat back. "I think the warriors will only cause trouble, so that's why shouldn't they just guard the fort?"
The swordsman at the end of the room, who was attending this meeting, shouted. "Tell me one more time and your neck is broken!"
"Well," the general displayed a satisfied expression. "They can't resist emotions, sire."
Princess Song Zhu shook her head. "I did want to include them in the battlefield, but I don't remember ever saying I would mix them in the ranks of the soldiers."
Just then the entire room let out a shocked voice. If you participate in the battle without joining the army, then who will you join? Will they move on their own?
The princess continued. "According to Sung Han's proposal, it would be best to create another army of warriors." He glanced at Sung Han and the other four heirlooms. "Give this new army a month to train for cohesiveness. The second-generation Silat World King will train them."
