The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 161. Letterbox
The eyes of the man in conversation were wide open, he glanced at the two people in shock. But for a moment he was startled before his eyes stared intently and with nimble movements, his legs kicked Hao Yu.
"Hhh...!" hao Yu reflexes jumped backwards. As soon as he looked, it turned out that the person was already standing straight with the sword in hand.
"Hem...Do you know everything? Then there's no reason for me to let you live!" he said before darting fast with a sword thrust towards Hao Yu.
Quickly Hao Yu worked on his machete, strapping his weapon in front of the chest to fend off the opponent's sword. Next, the swordsman moves the empty left-handed arm towards the attacker's face. The flickering of the sleeves of this shirt cannot be underestimated, because the man clapping was able to feel the existence of a powerful wind created from the attack.
He jumped back, but behind him was waiting for Xiao Lian who was ready to thrust her sword.
"Give up!!"
"Shut-Syut-Trang!!'
Xiao Lian's sword was successfully repelled, but again she had to move quickly to reverse the body to keep the attack from Hao Yu. There was a great fight between the three, and after some time, Hao Yu and Xiao Lian got the fact that this envoy was not weak and was probably an elite force of the Chen family.
While the man was packing, even though he was able to survive the insistence of the two, but he secretly bothered. Facing the one-handed he was already troubled, plus having to fight Miss Xiao whose attack was swerving around like that dancing dragon, completely squeezed his position and after a long while, it really did, he was only able to take care of himself without being able to respond to attack.
Stepping on the twentyth, it seems this man was very desperate when Hao Yu played his dagger with great. His weapon turned into a silvery beam scroll that kept the opponent's body locked. The longer it narrowed until at some point, when the man was packing it high to avoid the sabetage of Xiao Lian's sword, without being prevented again Hao Yu's machete darted quickly and managed to read out his legs.
"Crook!!"
"Ohhhh!!" the man screamed loudly when his left leg was blocked to the knee. He fell thumping on the ground without being able to land properly. His body rolled around as both hands held onto the stumped leg, his mouth screaming in pain.
Hao Yu who saw this immediately approached and punched the puffed leg to stop the flow of blood. Then just like earlier, he stepped on the chest of his enemy and put a machete on the neck.
"Say!"
Still grimacing in pain, the man replied stammeringly.
"Mr Chen wanted to take the emperor's seat by slandering the emperor. He wanted to use a strategy, namely by putting the body of Liong Bu in the territory of the king's city. And there were a few more people assigned to spread the news. Then if the news spreads, our Chen family will invade the king's city under the pretext of justice."
Hao Yu and Xiao Lian were wide-eyed, seriously right, they thought. Then Hao Yu hurriedly took the letter from behind his victim's pocket and read the letter.
"What's it say?" xiao Lian asked when she saw the change in expression from Hao Yu.
"Great, we must hurry to the king's city!!" yells and once hacked, the man clapping was killed instantly.
"Let's bury him to remove the trail!"
With their own inner strength and aided weapons, they managed to dig a hole deep enough. Then they put the body in before it was repopulated. After the completion of the funeral and the removal of the tracks by burying the splashed blood here and there, they immediately continued on their way.
It just so happened that their current location was quite close to the king's city. Currently they were in the forest located in the middle of the king city and the city where the Chen family ruled. That is why, at midnight, they had already arrived outside the gates of the king's city.
Without waiting for long, they immediately approached the half-sleep gatekeeper. Xiao Lian woke him up and immediately said.
"Hey, at this hour can we still meet the emperor?"
The gatekeeper looked at me with a gawk. What stupid question is this? Her thought.
"Miss, I'm sorry, the emperor is not easy to meet. Especially the nights like this, of course he has slept." he replied while sleepy.
"But we have important business!! Even those concerning the safety of the Golden City!! We're from the Xiao family." refuted Xiao Lian while showing her identification
The guard nodded and replied casually, presumably unaware that the interlocutor was Miss Xiao.
"Yes.yes, okay. Now you go in and find a house. To meet the emperor, try it tomorrow morning. That's also if you have the guts to face the imperial guards who are even fiercer than their masters."
Finally they chose an inn that stood closest to the city gate. A simple inn that is quite far from the settlement. After ordering two rooms, the two immediately went to their respective rooms.
But inside his room, Hao Yu was completely unable to sleep, not even sleepy. He just sat cross-legged on the bed while his machete was still on his back.
"It might not be this easy." he murmured with mixed feelings.
"The Xiao family if it sends a secret message to another family, Mister Xiao Li must have sent some bodyguards. But right now, only one? How could a letter as important as that send only one envoy?" he muttered slowly while recalling the contents of the letter. Clearly visible on the cover of the letter, there was a sincerity "For the Chen family". And in it, he still remembered very well with the contents.
Do the plan the day before the fifteenth day of the month.
Just short the contents of the letter and not listed the name of the sender. But what makes it serious is, of course, the plan in question is the laying of the corpse of Liong Bu in the territory of the emperor's residence. Plus, that fifteenth day if counted from now means less than five or six more days!!
Especially about the raid carried out by the Chen family, just imagining it makes the fur of his nape stand up.
"I don't think there's a traitor among the seven families. If so-wait!!"
Suddenly he remembered something. If indeed a letter as important as this was only sent by one person, it felt impossible. So chances are, the one person he killed just seemed to be!!
"The other bodyguards could be hiding behind the forest trees and seeing everything!" he said and immediately jumped down from the bed.
Sure enough as he expected, just his feet stepped on the floor, from the next room he heard a noise and the snapping of his best friend.
"Basic of a rotten traitor!! go you!!"
But the voice suddenly stopped, as if the owner of the voice was held captive by someone else and made him unable to say another word.
Hao Yu was aware of the danger that befell Xiao Lian, then he quickly flashed out through the window and into Xiao Lian's room. As soon as he came out the window, he saw the prowess of the person coming out of the room.
"Stop you guys!!" snapped Hao Yu while shaking his machete.
Two of them immediately charged forward and held off Hao Yu's machete. Two more men attacked Hao Yu from the right and left.
"Damn it!!!" he swore and turned the sword. Fending off the two attacks that had ambushed him from that left right.
"Run!! The letter is more important, don't mind us!! We will hold this cripple!!" call one of the four people. Making Hao Yu even more angry and raging.
"Trang-Trang-Trang!!" three times a loud sound was heard when Hao Yu's weapon managed to blow away his opponent's three swords. Then with a twisting motion, his machete created a long silvery ray that instantly killed three people at once.
"Gee!!" Hao Yu dodged to the side when someone attacked from behind. But a little late, so that his back shoulder managed to get dragged.
"You bastard!!" the assailant snapped angrily at the sight of his comrades dead.
"Traitor!!" yelled Hao Yu and read out his machete. The man managed to dodge, but it turned out that the backlash was just a diversion. The real attack came from the flickering of the left sleeve that managed to make a pair of eyes crushed opponent.
When his enemy was pitting while staggering backwards, Hao Yu quickly moved the machete to stab his chest until it penetrated backwards.
"Damn it!! Why did I not think of this at all!!" mumbling Hao Yu was annoyed.
"I have to catch up with him!!"
