A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 268 – Next Tasks

The siege duty on that hill, they consider it complete. Sung Han and four others came to the Khu general and took a break, and the warriors left. Leaving the imperial army that had to investigate the surroundings of the place first.


The journey was done with great joy. They did not hurry, riding the origin horse riding and walking only. Not driving the horse so that it tortures the horse. Instead, they travel like people on a trip, enjoying the scenery while having a conversation.


Of course they feel excited and proud. The warrior army, which everyone thought would never unite, has shown its fangs in the task of cleaning up Jeiji's forces.


Even greater, the main leader, Sung Han, did not appear at all let alone seen the enemy. So that whoever Jeiji is able to survive the incident, will not be able to provide information about the head of the attack of the warriors.


They have managed to make a name. Prove that you are not what others think you are. A brilliant start.


That morning when they were resting, sitting under a tree while letting the horses eat grass around, came someone in simple clothes. At first glance look like a hamlet farmer, but he rides a very good horse.


As soon as he reached the place where the warriors were resting, this person immediately swept a glance around. There was absolutely no sense of trepidation how the entire pair of eyes looked at him with intimidation. This person did not seem to see the group of warriors.


"Brother, who are you? If you want to pass, please, "one of the old warriors said. Although his voice sounded friendly, it clearly contained suspicion and subtle expulsion.


This farmer-dressed man looked at him attentively. Then jump down from the horse. Everyone was stunned for a moment at how light the movement was. It was not the first time the farmer had gone up and down the horse.


He approached the old man and went inside. "Sorry sir, I'm here to find someone from Sung's clan named Han."


"Sung Han?"


"Not wrong."


All activities stopped. Those who eat breakfast stop the chewing. Half the sleepers are awake. And those who were just sitting around immediately stood up. Looking at the man who did not seem at all afraid.


The old fighter narrowed his eyes. "If you may know, what is your business with Sung Han?"


"Delivering a message."


"From who?" sue the old man.


"Daughter's face."


"What?"


Now everyone was shocked with wide eyes. There was even the sound of coughing up food choking.


"You don't talk carelessly!" snarled the old swordsman. "Where's the evidence!"


The farmer was calm. Slowly he reached into the pocket behind his shirt and revealed a golden-studded letter scroll. A sign that the letter came from the empire straight away.


Now they have no doubt. This young man was indeed the envoy of the princess. Because to forge imperial letters, other than suicide, was also presumably impossible because the paper was specially made by the people of the palace. Which way of making no one knows but them.


The warrior immediately respected. "I'm sorry for our stupidity. Let me take you to Mr. Sung's place."


The farmer boy nodded.


But three steps walked, both of them were shocked when they saw a black shadow flashing out that was already standing before them. Both the swordsman and the young man were stunned.


However, it was only a moment that they were shocked before the old swordsman burst into respect. "Sir, someone's looking for you."


Seeing the old man's attitude, the young man realized that the one he was facing now was Sung Han. Then he was yoked anyway. "I am the princess's messenger. Deliver a letter to Mr. Sung."


Sung Han retorted. "What letter is that?"


"Please, sir," said the farmer, handing over the letter.


Sung Han immediately removed the seal and read it.


I sent a spy, he's seen it. Sending me a message through a dove. The results of your work and your team are amazing and amazing. I have a task for you.


General Tang I sent to investigate the places around the Heaven's Wall Mountains, and he found one of the nests, even the fortress, of Jeiji Empire on the sidelines of the ravine. Now they're at a dead end. Attacking is impossible, besieging will mean nothing.


According to his report, the Seven Sovereigns of the Immortals were there. Therefore, the help of the great ones like you is much needed.


Sung Han's forehead creased deeply and he looked at the farmer sharply. "Where are the Tang generals and who are the Seven Swordsmen of the Immortals?"


The young man seemed to have guessed that Sung Han would ask that. He took out a map and opened it.


"The Tang general's place is here" he said, pointing to a place close to the river area. There, there were mountains that formed deep ravines.


"Then, the Seven Swordsmen of the Immortals?"


"They are seven old ronin former samurai. They are the legends some even say only fairy tales. They have migrated to many places, one of which is our land. So it's no surprise that they've mastered silat's intelligence from our land."


Sung Han's eyes widened. "Compared to Kushinage Tenko and general Fujimino Shiro, which strong?"


The young man seemed to be thinking. "The words of people, Kushinage Tenko simply cannot be compared to a person from the Seven Swordsmen of the Immortals."


"General Fujimino?"


"I don't know."


Sung Han looked back at the letter, researched it for a while and grasped it tightly. "Let's go in first to rest."


...****************...


"They deliberately showed themselves. Aren't they waiting for the invasion from the south to come here?"


Khuang Peng approved Sung Hwa's remarks just now. "But why haven't the troops from the south arrived?"


"Mountain man intervention" chirped Sung Han. "Maybe."


They all looked at Sung Han. Their gazes showed a hint of disbelief. Does Sung Han believe in that?


"That's it," Sung Han interrupted when he realized the meaning of their gaze. "What matters, look at this."


Sung Han opened a map and pointed to one of the dots that had been marked with red ink. "General Tang and the others are trapped here. Attacking is impossible, besieging is futile."


"How can you?"


"As I've already said," Sung Han replied to Nie Chi's confusion. "They have built a fortress in the midst of the ravine. It would be difficult for a large army to destroy them."


"Well, this means the task this time is not much different from the first."


"I guess so," Sung Han replied as he rolled the map back up. "Uncle, how long does the ration last for us?"


"Not more than a week."


Sung Han nodded. "During the trip there, we should always stop in the village or city to fill food supplies. For the rest, you must be careful with the Seven Sovereigns of the God's Lake."


All eyes are wide. Who'sis that?


"Who is that? I've never heard of." Nie Chi commented.


Sung Han clenched his hands. "According to the explanation of the emissary of the princess earlier, I concluded that maybe these are the ones who are really able to face us with one on one."
