Fei Chen's Sword Journey
PPFC 320 - Hizen Port
PPFC 320 - Hizen Port
About a hundred more people were on the slave-picking ship that was sailing towards the port of Hizen. Fei Chen attracted the attention of many people because of his looks. Despite trying to cover it up, its charisma remains visible.
Fei Chen explained that he was enslaved by Inui. Hearing Fei Chen's explanation made Kosuke and the members of the rebellion believe, even they sympathized with Fei Chen.
“Thanks to Chen Youth we can survive. We were all moved by his actions.” A middle-aged man who followed Fei Chen to kill the members of the Blood Sakura Organization spoke.
“True, free over dead. Hearing those words as soon as my body moves by itself,” said another man.
Fei Chen just smiled. Everyone here knows himself as Chen. Fei Chen himself recalled Hirataka's remark regarding the past of his subordinates.
Two middle-aged men who were familiar with Fei Chen were named Cio Hen and Lu Benhei. Both of them were from the Ma Empire or rather Xuangang.
Fei Chen told them about his past, where he had been a noble before ending up in Inui's hands.
Fei Chen lied but Cio Hen and Lu Benhei believed his words. Fei Chen felt guilty for knowing both of them or the former slaves strongly believed in him.
Until the time came, Xiao Gang came to bring a warm drink and gave it to the former slaves. Fei Chen was summoned by Kosuke to talk about his determination to help the battle.
“You are young and have a bright future. I advise you not to go into this battle. You are not at all benefited.” Kosuke gave a warning to Fei Chen and only made the young man quiet.
Using the ship, Fei Chen arrived at Hizen Port two days later. Unlike the Ma Empire or the Yin Empire, the territory of the Kai Empire was surrounded by mountains and oceans and even rivers.
The Land of Fire itself is surrounded by mountains and its location is quite close to Onigawara which is in the center of the Kai Empire.
Just as Kosuke predicted, the atmosphere in Prlu Hizen did not seem crowded considering that many members of the Blood Sakura Organization asked for tribute and some also prepared the Fire Dragon Festival.
Onigawara is surrounded by mountains and has different weather in each region. With the upcoming Fire Dragon Festival, residents living in Hyoko City and Hinogawa which are the two central cities of the Fire Nation are crowded.
Ordinary residents seemed impatient to welcome the Fire Dragon Festival because Sun Yelong distributed food for free. It seemed good, but the food Sun Yelong shared was leftovers.
Fei Chen had already heard Hirataka's explanation and looked at the condition of the Kai Empire which he thought had a strategic location to be a great port in the Seven Star Continent.
After docking, Fei Chen was treated like a slave by Kosuke despite being just an act. The arrival of Fei Chen and the people who would be made slaves blocked the residents who lived in Hizen Customer watching.
“They back brought slaves.”
“It looks like Mr. Sun Yelong is seriously rebuilding the Ancient Dragon Tower.”
“Yes, I hear all men and teenagers will be forcibly employed in every arms mine or development.”
The residents of Hizen Port can only resign when they know Sun Yelong's plan. There was not much they could do when the ferocious beast warriors came to their residence.
‘This situation is very difficult. Sun Yelong's power makes them become like this.’ Fei Chen continued to pay attention to the surroundings before he was finally told to wait in a building with the other slaves.
Fei Chen was already familiar with the people who were going to be made slaves. They chatted and talked about ways to save the slaves that came from the Yin Empire and the Ma Empire.
Fei Chen who initially wanted to pry information by having Deshe finally at once asked Deshe to find a weapon mine that employed slaves.
Deshe who received Fei Chen's orders immediately left the building and rushed over to look for important information. Meanwhile Fei Chen was back with the slaves who were mostly fighting because they wanted to save their relatives.
Hirataka is gathering with Kosuke, Uzui and Tenkai. The four of them discussed the plan to recruit as many members of the rebellion as possible before the Fire Dragon Festival was conducted.
“Hirataka, did you not visit your wife Ichiba?” Kosuke asked after Uzui and Tenkai left the room.
Hirataka shook his head, “Not now, Kosuke. You're looking after my wife, aren't you? Thanks.”
Kosuke smiled, “We've known for a long time. I was once attracted to Ichiba when we were young. As your best friend, I will look after your wife and disguise her identity.”
“Many things happened. I was embarrassed to meet him after everything that happened.” Hirataka clenched his hands and sighed.
“Then, I will report this matter to the boss. I'll report a fake and convince them.” Kosuke patted Hirataka on the shoulder and walked away from the building of the Sakura Blood Organization in Hizen Port.
‘Habashiri and Kageshiri. Both are two troublesome Shinobi. They were obedient towards Sun Yelong not even reluctant to kill his fellow Fire Nation comrades. How could Kosuke convince them?’ Hirataka is curious and chooses to follow Kosuke.
Meanwhile, at Hizen Week, Xiao Gang was chatting with the residents there and became acquainted with Uzui and Tenkai.
Amidst the movements that each person made, Fei Chen's arrival to the Kai Empire was already known to Sun Yelong.
Fei Chen who always remembered Hirataka's words about the mental residents of Kai Empire who had fallen due to Sun Yelong's cruelty, making people from the Kai Empire betray easily even difficult to discern which ones were comrades and comrades. Hirataka told this to Fei Chen based on his experience.
Fei Chen himself had already anticipated this and he did not trust Kosuke's figure. Besides that Fei Chen started to realize Xiao Gang's change and was intending to find out if the young man who was his age was a traitor or a spy.
‘I didn't feel any evil from her even she looked ordinary in my eyes. But this bad feeling made me suspicious of him.’ Fei Chen had already asked Deshe to observe Xiao Gang.
In addition to Mao Ruyue who had chosen her body to be a container, Fei Chen could telepathize and cooperate to find out the truth. Deshe had also told Fei Chen some important information so that the young man could calmly decide something.
“Deshe, form a clone and tell Hirataku to kill Kosuke. He is a traitor who remembers his wife.” Fei Chen telepathically said to Deshe.
‘Good, Milord.’ Deshe replied through telepathy and immediately did Fei Chen's orders.
In the midst of all that Fei Chen was unaware of the changes that were happening to the people around him. More precisely the people who were to be made slaves and the one room with it seemed to be silent before their bodies emitted a red glow.
