Black Swordsman
# Losing Before the War
Chuan had divided the special soldiers into five groups. Three groups were assigned to search for information and whereabouts of the person. Two other groups were asked to set up ambush points on both exits of the city.
The night continued to spread and the morning welcomed him. In front of a small shop on the outskirts of the city, Chuan was engrossed in a wine jar in his hand. Two people seemed to come to him.
"two groups went directly to the capital, and the other took another route because the merchants he was controlling wanted to stop in several cities" said one person slowly.
"how many holy warriors there are" asked Chuan.
"three holy warriors, they are in two groups that go directly towards the capital" he replied.
"well, one group ambushed in another line, while four groups ambushed in a direct line to the capital" Chuan said.
"ready" answered both.
"finish them, but release the merchant" Chuan said.
"well" answered both
"after it's finished it goes straight back to the capital" Chuan continued.
"get ready" they replied and left Chuan.
After the two left, Chuan also moved out of the tavern.
"they must have been able to finish it" Chuan's inner self and immediately shot towards the direction of the capital.
Time keeps rolling, and the day changes. Chuan and his wife were accompanied by Rouyan. The three were chatting casually.
The plan that was made, was successfully implemented. In these few days, there was a look of uneasiness of the tang and chao clans. The elders and elders of the two clans, went in and out of his patriarchal house.
The depleted treasure warehouse, as well as several guards were also killed. Making the higher-ups of the two clans lose their way to find out who did it.
In a large hall belonging to the chao clan. Two patriarchs and their elders were gathering.
"bangs**, there's no trace of who did it" Patriarch Tang said
"it looks like the imperial side did it" said an elder of the chao clan.
Their suspicion was on Khaisar Jing's side. But until now no one from the second side reported any movement from the imperial palace.
"what about Princess Meilin's palace"
"there's nothing suspicious" explained the tang clan elder who had just visited the place.
Princess Meilin continued to receive anyone's visit in the company of a middle-aged man. While Chuan was still in closed cultivation.
Opinion after opinion was thrown with annoyance in their stalemate.
Days changed by week. The chao clan and the tang clan were increasingly seen falling apart. The imperial officials who came from both clans began to show their true nature.
The elders, who had previously been seen as silent with the patriarchal leadership of the clan, are now seen competing for influence in their respective diklan.
Several properties and business fields began to be auctioned off by the two patriarchs of the clan. Making both declined. Even the chao clan's patriarchal family, some were asking for protection from the dragon sword sect.
The split in the bodies of the two great clans made the peace in the doucan city quite disturbed. The higher-ups of both clans came to Emperor Jing's palace.
In the meeting hall, they were accepted by Emperor Jing. Despite being respectful and as if submissive to the emperor. The higher-ups of the two clans were unable to hide the vexation on the look on their faces.
"what are the patriarchs, elders, elders and the seniors of the chao and tang clans facing the noble fatherhanda of the emperor" Chuan asked starting to break the atmosphere in the meeting.
"forgive us our arrival to disturb the noble peace" said the patriarch of the tang clan. He represented the others to ask the palace's silent attitude about the problems they were facing.
Sweet and beautiful strands of spoken word. He also brought the services of both clans to the empire. In addition, there were also some who added words for Emperor Jing to act in their favor.
"what do you want" General Erlong asked before Emperor Jing gave his response.
"help us in stabilizing the condition of the clan and ask for tax breaks that we must hand over in three more months, pleading for justice from his highness" said Patriarch Chao.
"hemmmm,,," Chuan muttered. Simultaneously Emperor Jing saw her smile.
"as you set out our grand ambitions and careful planning, as well as when the movement fell apart, we also remained silent" Chuan continued.
"where wrong and unfair is our attitude" asked Chuan.
"what does Young Master Chuan mean" Patriarch Tang asked back.
"do I have to expose all your deeds" Chuan replied.
Without convoluted turns Chuan issued a letter that his special forces obtained while destroying aid for the tang clan. The cover letter contains support and profit agreements that both parties will receive.
After reading the letter, the higher-ups and patriarchs of the two clans fell silent. The atmosphere that was momentarily rowdy, now silent. Emperor Jing and the officials present only smiled seeing the situation change rapidly.
The silence broke as a guard soldier entered the meeting hall.
"General Han Cun of the Han Empire in the east wants to face, Your Majesty" he said, continuing to pay tribute to Emperor Jing.
"well, please let him in" Emperor Jing replied.
Not long after the soldier. It was seen a group of people entering the meeting hall.
"hail the emperor's majesty, Han Cun delivered a greeting from Emperor Han" said Han Cun in full dress.
"greetings general, please sit down" Emperor Jing replied as he pointed to his right side that had been emptied to receive the arrival.
Before Han Cun and the others sat down, Chuan walked up to him.
"greetings brother Chuan" said Han Cun.
"uncle's greetings, long time no see" Chuan replied.
"this is your order" Han Cun said as he handed over the black cloth package.
"this,,," said Chuan stopped seeing the contents of the package.
"he's Chao Liin, the supreme commander of the chao clan's security forces" Han Cun explained the chief handed over to Chuan.
He was carrying five hundred more sky stage warriors as he was about to cross the border. They were all killed in the incident.
"thank you for your help" Chuan said.
"please have uncle and others sit down first" Chuan said.
"what are you saying now" Chuan continued while throwing Chao Liin's head at Patriarch Chao.
"we,,,,"
"we,,," said the two patriarchs.
"i forgive you for now" said Ksisar Jing. All officials and warrior commanders from both clans must be inspected. If there is a direct violation of his position. For the clean ones, lower one level as punishment from the deeds of their clan.
The emperor's word was immediately set forth on the occasion. General Erlong and the emperor's advisors were given full mandate in regulating it. Next Emperor Jing took General Cun and the others to the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, they sat around the table. The relaxed atmosphere and friendship is created from their talk. A letter that contained hope, to further strengthen cooperation between the two empires was handed over by Han Cun.
Emperor Jing did not mind that. He will also send his emissaries to visit.
"the general already knew Chuan" asked Emperor Jing
"hahaha, there used to be a young general who was so disinclined by a small child" Han Cun explained. The general was speaking at this time, and the child in question was beside Emperor Jing.
"luckily, back then I wasn't being arrogant with him" Han Cun continued. If that was the case, how would his face be enforced upon meeting Chuan again.
"hahaha,, I am still shocked by the identity of my son-in-law" Emperor Jing replied.
"hemmmm, there's nothing that pulls from me" Chuan said.
He casually revealed the outline of his identity.
