The peaceful night grew late and quieter in the border military barracks, some of the soldiers were clustered around the border region belonging to the zhong empire with one torch in their hands and the others guarding without torches following carefully and meticulously. As their young commander ordered, without him perhaps secretly their enemies would know where they were and attack fiercely without being able to defend themselves or save their lives.
Chao gu who wore black robes all over his body was currently inside the main tent of the barracks. He glanced to the left right around the main tent because he felt that there was a little strange and awkward, there is usually one or three soldiers who stand guard around the tent belonging to the commander and that there is the least amount except on the orders of the commander jiang, periodically the soldiers will change guard.
Chao gu from within his robe quietly grasped his sword tightly, he glanced at the surroundings vigilantly and carefully opened the entrance cloth into the tent. He was a little shocked when he saw the one person he almost stepped on in front of him, and when he turned the body of the person in front of him, samar can see a pool of blood around someone who has been confirmed to be a corpse in front of him.
Where is zheng bai!!, thought chao gu when he saw the beloved sword of zheng bai that only the remaining scabbard was hidden under the armor of war. He moved quickly and looked around the room in the tent that was currently right in the usual place where zheng bai was sitting had been torn and roughly torn with a large poke until he made sure it was a large hole just made a while ago.
Chao Gu rang a special whistle that he took from his shirt bag, and not long after he rushed away leaving behind some special clues for these people he called to follow him.
Chao gu went into the pitch-black forest, and it was fortunate that tonight was a full moon, the shadows of trees and a little dim light that he could see clearly. he could feel behind him some people following him, chao gu raising his hand, he gestured and ordered them to move apart.
“what are you doing until you do not feel the intruder enter !!”, hiss chao gu cold.
“we can't feel it, general, it looks like they're disguised as guard soldiers”, replied someone behind chao gu.
“keep moving and looking”, chao gu replied.
“understand, general”, replied the people behind him.
The sound of a whistle that sounded shrill like the sound of a bird was heard from the south, chao gu and the five people behind him turned back their direction and moved southward where the whistle was sounded.
Under the moonlight a man stood upright with a sword in his right hand and in the other hand he saw a human head cut off he threw at his side. The man who only wore half his clothes turned leisurely, his figure filled with the remains of fresh blood splashes and dark aura around his body was cold as death blowing like a death god.
Chao gu who had just arrived was a little surprised to see the condition of zheng bai who this time looked nothing like an ordinary human being, and unfortunately he did not remember that every time the full moon appeared the condition of their commander was always like that. And damn the fate of all the intruders who attacked the jiang commander tonight.
The secret of the young commander jiang who was only known by a few people and chao gu was one of them. In the past, when he was fifteen years old, his head almost broke if only his father did not first pull him away from the figure of jiang zheng bai who looks like possessed by evil and vengeful spirits. Since the incident had happened repeatedly and on the day when the full moon appeared, the young prince always seemed lost his mind and wanted death and blood in his hands. the emperor and his father sought out some healers and psychics but they swore that the young prince's body and soul were not exposed or possessed by evil spirits. Until finally because nothing could cure him and all the psychics in all corners said that the little prince was fine, the emperor gave up. and every single day of the month and the day the full moon appeared, his father always brought zheng bai hunting in the forest and that too at the decision of the previous emperor. So far only he, his father and himself know. This secret he will swallow in his stomach and that is his promise to his father as a friend to live while in the war. And until now no one had known about the terrible secret of the warlord jiang.
“young general chao”, said zheng bai coldly.
“well, commander of”, chao gu replied, he removed his black robe and gave it to zheng bai.
“no not ini”, zheng bai replied.
Zheng bai rolled his eyes because of the stupidity of this friend, he could not believe that his friend's neck was still in place as long as they were on the battlefield or something else, and fortunately this man's brain was still functioning well when fighting the enemy, he couldn't imagine if chao gu's brain stopped at this point, he would not let it die silly if it was still within his scope, perhaps, zheng bai thought.
If chao gu heard the contents of zheng bai's head at this moment, it was possible that the man would be extremely crazy and frustrated due to his friend's crazy thinking.
“prepare the horse, we will go tonight, it looks like they are very much waiting for the arrival of benwang or heads under benwang's feet”, hiss cold zheng bai.
“ah, right, wrap all these heads and send them quickly in front of the capital” gate, cold zheng bai command.
“well, your majesty”, replied the person beside chao gu.
“is it okay??, you can make a big fuss”, chao gu asked.
“since when did benwang not make such a big fuss ?? not this time the new emperor also had to know where and what he was currently doing was so sickening”, the cold sizzle of zheng bai.
Zheng bai threw the chao gu robe, he walked towards where the zhong imperial military barracks were along with the chao gu who kept chattering that they should really search and choose the soldiers because this time it seemed like they had been fooled. Zheng bai simply shook his head, as chao gu's scolding greatly made his ears and mind continue to ring.
“ah, right, is your body condition okay ??”, asked chao gu.
“why ??”, ask zheng bai.
“I'm afraid, you're mowing us like mowing weeds”, replied chao gu weakly. He hugged his own body with both hands.
Zheng bai only glanced at him sharply, but he also did not reject that fact because of what happened to his body, soul and even mind.
“no, I'm in good health..”, replied zheng bai coldly.
Chao gu laughed happily as zheng bai's reply calmed his heart, but his laughter was instantly discordant upon hearing zheng bai's last sentence.
“seems”, continued zheng bai, he slightly smiled obliquely as he saw chao gu looking at him with a laughable look.
Chao Gu who saw the slanted smile of zheng bai who looked terrible but he knew this man was making a joke, he lightly punched his friend's shoulder and laughed out loud, beside him zheng bai only shook his head because of the strange nature of this friend of his.
