Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 5: Go to the Capital
"I will return to the imperial palace, His Majesty the Emperor in this one week will hold his birthday event." The third prince said without looking at the person being spoken to, he stared at the surface of the table while tapping his index finger.
Zhou Fan and the other three people just silently listened to what was said, until the third prince said. "You're coming with me."
His hands were pointing at no one, still on the table. But those black eyeballs glanced towards Zhou Fan.
"If the third prince pleases." Zhou Fan thought this was a rare opportunity, he could gather more information about the whereabouts of his teacher.
While Zhou Fan would be coming along with Shao Mingrui, the other three would be in charge of organizing the troops present in Bei Xian city.
...
Early in the morning, the horse had already prepared in front of the residence of City Lord Bei Xian who was also a third prince-Shao Mingrui.
Simultaneously the open gate featured three men of different ages.
"Prince, out of the four leaders of the army, why did you choose him?" Eunuch Di glanced at Zhou Fan without hesitation.
Zhou Fan was just silent, he would not mind it, a person like this could only be silenced with ability. Without seeing for yourself, you cannot change your eyes.
Eunuch Di was at the level of a four-star emperor realm fighter, he was one level below Shao Mingrui. Even so, Shao Mingrui had great confidence in him.
Shao Mingrui glanced at Zhou Fan, he then turned his face forward. "Eunuch Di, don't judge from the outside. Among the four squad leaders, I believe he's the strongest."
Eunuch Di could no longer refute, he could only endure the wrath when the third prince was more defending the foreign youth compared to him.
He had served for more than ten years, but lost to a squad leader who had just joined. This was definitely a huge humiliation for him.
The three rode on their respective horses, cruising to Boa Jia City or better known as the Imperial Capital of Shao.
However the distance with Bei Xian City could not be said to be close, it might even take a whole day at high speed. That's if they don't stop on the road, so they'll be there tomorrow afternoon.
But that is still an estimate, because what happens in the future no one knows.
The new sun gave rise to him, but the three men of different ages were speeding along the path. The pounding of the horse's legs sounds unpretentious, not infrequently the horse squeals when the bridle is snapped.
Not to miss the big wolf that kept chasing after Zhou Fan, he seemed unwilling to miss. Follows wherever the horse steps.
Morning dew is still very felt, when hit by the speed of the horse as if the dew grains were broken scattered a refreshing sensation.
Time moves fast, it does not feel the sun has been at the top of the head, the shadow under the feet as if very short.
The scorching heat of the sun was stinging, sweat began to drench the bodies of the three men who were still meticulously advancing their mounts.
Without feeling that the day was already nearing night, there were already countless villages that they passed through, without feeling that they were already in He City, and needed to pass through two more cities to reach the Imperial Capital.
But to continue their journey they will wait for the day to change, however their horses need rest, and they also want to fill the stomach that has been empty all day.
"Your camera's coming in too?" Eunuch Di glanced cynically.
Zhou Fan looked around, not finding any prohibition he went straight in. "No ban, why not?"
Goddammit!
Eunuch Di growled furiously, but Shao Mingrui quickly held back the old man's shoulders. He did not dare to prolong the matter either.
It was getting night, the moon was invisible because the dark clouds were struggling. A cold wind blew from the south, indicating that there would be rain ready to wait.
But as Zhou Fan's feelings became unsettled, he sensed that danger was coming toward him. The young man got up from his bed, standing while staring out the window.
His still dim eyes suddenly glared sharply as he sensed some people gathered above the inn.
Judging from the darkness, about seven people stood on the roof of the inn. Their clothes were black with their heads covered in cloth which was also black.
Zhou Fan did not move immediately, he was stalking exactly who their target was. That was definitely not him, as it had only been a few days in the Shao Empire.
"They were standing above the third prince's room, were they after him?" Zhou Fan shook his head, a prince's life will not always be pleasant, many dangers are always coming menacing.
"It actually has nothing to do with me, but by overcoming this killer I will gain Shao Mingrui's trust. That way I can make use of her background to look for the whereabouts of the teacher."
Zhou Fan jumped onto the roof of the inn. The sudden appearance made the seven assassins shocked.
"Who are you?!"
"No need for stale language!" Zhou Fan pulled out the night blood sword and directly attacked.
The seven assassins jumped apart, they took out a dagger that had previously been neatly stored on the stage.
Trangs...
Zhou Fan pulled out a sword and directly landed a footprint on the forehead of one of the assassins.
Bruaks...
The killer's body bounced and fell down. The attack did not get there, Zhou Fan targeted one of them and immediately hunted him down.
"Gather together!"
The six assassins gathered, forming a circle. They put together a dagger in the middle, and the other hand held the shoulder of a friend beside him.
Zhou Fan monstrously frowned, he had no idea what the remaining six assassins would do.
Not giving it much longer to think, Zhou Fan was faced with a huge dagger that was preparing to slash at him.
The dagger might be just an illusion, but the power emanated really cannot be underestimated.
"Double freedom!"
Zhou Fan slashed twice, he pulled out his mainstay style to deal with the combined moves of the six assassins.
Blars...
The explosion was terrible. Even the two sides were thrown a few steps back. The roof of the inn was shaken unabashed.
Feeling the mission had failed, the six assassins left without caring for the friend who was still lying below. The boom will certainly create a furore, the plan that has been carefully prepared is even destroyed just like that.
They remember that face, and will never forget it.
Before long Shao Mingrui came along with Eunuch Di. "What's wrong, I heard there was a great explosion on the roof of the inn."
Zhou Fan did not reply, he got down and took the body of the assassin who was still unconscious.
"Seven people came intent on killing you, they are not weak, can even bring out great power."
Zhou Fan let out a double slash, but still could not defeat them. Clearly they had a cultivation not low.
Shao Mingrui was more interested in the assassin who was in Zhou Fan's grip. Paying attention to the clothes that contained a faint lotus flower motif, making his forehead constrict.
Hem...
"That bastard, it turns out to be brave too!"
