Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 7: The hope
"They're really following us, I can't believe they've got the guts." Shao Mingrui said as he took out the token that the assassin chief had.
"It's all thanks to you suggesting that Eunuch Di pretend to leave." Shao Mingrui glanced at Zhou Fan with a look of admiration, not expecting if he had obtained a reliable person.
"How did you know they were still around the inn?"
Zhou Fan did not flinch in his place. "Their friend was caught alive, as a murderer they would want to ascertain whether the existence of his friend would harm the group or not ...."
" ... Moreover, after they made a fuss, they left as if avoiding someone. I guessed that it was Kasim Di. It turned out that it was true, after Eunuch Di left, they dared to show themselves."
Shao Mingrui and Eunuch Di nodded. The old man had previously thought that the order given to him was really real, but seeing the letter was only a blank sheet he immediately understood what was happening.
"The eighth prince looks meek. Yet not knowing how ruthless he was behind, even intending to kill his own brother." Eunuch Di shook his head slowly.
"It is fitting for us princes to seize the throne, if I cannot overcome all this then I am not entitled to the imperial throne." Shao Mingrui walked up to the horse, rode it and drove on.
The night changes morning and the morning changes day. Shao Mingrui entered the door of the imperial palace together with two others. Their festive welcome, flower petals scattered in the streets.
As they were about to go to the hall, they crossed paths with one of the princes.
"Third brother, it turns out you came. Brother thinks third brother will miss the birthday celebration of the emperor's father."
Shao Mingrui stared intently at the prince in front of him, it was this man who had intended to kill him, even sending assassins to get rid of him.
"Eighth sister, how come I don't come if a fox alone can go inside." Shao Mingrui pressed down on the few words he let out, deeply condensed into a tone of innuendo.
The eighth prince-Shao Ziyu clenched her hands holding back furiously, but her face still emitted a smile.
"Sister three, the show is about to start. Brother will come in and greet the father of the emperor." Shao Ziyu sauntered away with a few bodyguards always on standby behind him.
Huhhhhh...
Shao Mingrui did not go straight to the hall, he returned to his long-abandoned residence. "Eunuch Di, you can come back."
Eunuch Di bowed respectfully, then took his leave. Zhou Fan was still waiting there, until Shao Mingrui told him to come behind.
"I need your help. Maybe at the banquet, there will be a fight between the representatives of the prince. I can't appoint Kasim Di because he's part of the imperial palace."
Zhou Fan was silent in his place, thinking about what Shao Mingrui had told him. "Prince, it's not my intention to refuse, but it has nothing to do with the agreement when you enter your army."
Shao Mingrui nodded in understanding. "I know that's why I asked for your help. If you can win three times in a row I'll give you a legend-level weapon."
Zhou Fan thought. A legend-level weapon was useless to him, what he was looking for was an eighth-level crystal beast, and it had to be one with ice elements.
"Legend level weapons? If he could, the prince gave one request. Because guns aren't what I want."
Shao Mingrui thought for a moment, without lowering his hand from his chin he said. "If I could I'd do it, if I had I'd give it."
"Eighth-level crystal beast, and that's the ice element."
Shao Mingrui's eyes were round. He took something out of the storage ring. "I don't have an ice crystal beast, but I have a fire element."
"I remember if there were an eighth level crystal beast in the imperial palace warehouse, and it was just as you were looking for, an ice element."
"I can't promise, but I'll try to get it if you win three times in a row."
"If so, the prince can rest easy." Zhou Fan felt this was an opportunity.
Although he did not yet know if Shao Mingrui could give it away, it was enough to pin down a hope.
After reaching an agreement, Shao Mingrui gave some data regarding the people to look out for.
From there Zhou Fan could tell if their strength was at least on par with his cultivation, even some representatives like the eighth prince representative were at the level of a six-star emperor realm fighter.
"Bong Heteng - the eighth prince's representative is a reliable sword fighter, he can create absurd movements with his sword. If you're dealing with him, you have to be careful."
Shao Mingrui looked worried towards Zhou Fan, but he was actually just worried that his representative was losing at the hands of the eighth prince's representative.
Hearing this Zhou Fan was getting challenged, they were the same sword users, he wanted to see how strong the fighter dubbed the Slaughter Sword was.
And then someone came knocking on the door. Without even looking at it, Shao Mingrui knew that the one who came was a servant who intended to call him, because the banquet was about to begin.
"Prince, His Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for your arrival, for only the prince has not yet met him in the hall."
Just as the door opened, the servant immediately delivered a message. Makes the ears of the person listening somewhat irritated.
The hum...
Shao Mingrui cleared his throat and told the servant to leave first.
"Even the servant was possessed by the first prince, many eyes, many ears. Nothing can escape the observation of the princes." Shao Mingrui looked around, having found no one he again said.
"This is for you, just think of it as an upfront payment. Once you succeed, I'll talk to the emperor's father." Shao Mingrui threw the fire elemental eighth level beast crystal.
Zhou Fan saved quickly. Although it was useless to his wife, it could be taken advantage of by Zhou Jim. Now that the wolf had been at the level of a one-star emperor realm fighter, perhaps with an eighth-level crystal beast, he could rise by one or two levels.
The two of them walked towards the hall, when it was until the large door instantly opened.
"The third prince entered the hall!!"
The voice sounded loud. Though it was shouted from the outside, but was heard to go inside.
Everything inside the hall suddenly focused on the figure who had just crossed the door of the hall.
When he saw the third prince only coming with a young man, they looked at him with a trivial look. Especially the princes.
"Third sister, I didn't think you'd fall like this. If you tell this second brother of yours, it will definitely send some bodyguards."
Shao Mingrui gave a cold snort, without looking at the second prince he said. "A pack of dogs means nothing in front of a lion."
