The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 104. Information From the Kingdom of Lai
In a residence located not far from the residence belonging to Ma Guang who was in the Yellow Bamboo sect. Two girls were sitting and talking.
"Miss Tjia! It had been almost four years now, but the warrior Ma had yet to return to the sect. What is he doing right now, and where is he now?." Zhou Lu Yun.
"Yes princess! I haven't heard from the swordsman Ma either! Did we just ask the patriarch?." Tjia Annchi.
"It's unethical to ask the patriarch about it. What's more there's nothing so important that it should question the existence of the swordsman Ma." Zhou Lu Yun.
Miss Tjia herself was no longer thinking about Ma Guang. The thing that caused it to be like that was because now Tjia Annchi had a close relationship with Duan Jun. And also the girl had thought that there were some girls who always wanted to be close to Ma Guang. Moreover, Zhou Lu Yun's daughter was always thinking about the young man.
Zhou Lu Yun himself. The girl had indeed just felt close to a man when she was with Ma Guang. Although their closeness was only during the journey from the imperial capital to go to the Yellow Bamboo sect and also while being trained and instructed by Ma Guang. But it can already make the girl feel the figure of Ma Guang means a lot to her.
***
In a magnificent palace hall in the royal capital of Lai, that is Ni city. A man with an authoritative-looking stature was discussing with his subordinates.
They were currently discussing about the existence of a young general envoy from the capital of the Qi kingdom who was currently already in Pingdu city.
"Is that person the one who had committed the massacre of the Jiulong clan as well as the three noble families in Ji city?." Ask Gong Furou.
"Yes, your majesty! He's the one who did that in Ji town!." Said one of his subordinates.
"If he's the one, then we have to prepare the right strategy to deal with him." Said the King of Lai Kingdom.
"And everyone who enters our kingdom must be examined carefully, if you see any suspicious people, you must arrest them." Further again.
"Oh, your honor!." Speak simultaneously his subordinates who are in the palace hall.
"And defense and security in the border area and in the royal capital must be tightened. Send troops on the border border with the city of Pingdu to increase the strength of the troops there." Said the king.
King Gong Furou immediately took seriously the information he received from the eyes of his kingdom.
Because the person they reported was the final figure - this end always shook the martial world and also every royal leader who was in the territory of the Zhou empire.
The meeting was dissolved, the generals immediately did what was ordered by king Gong Furou to strengthen defense and security in the territory of the Lai kingdom.
There were ten thousand troops directly in the prepared that night as well, and instantly moved to head towards the region bordering the city of Pingdu.
And also each of the ten thousand troops moved towards the city of Pingcheng and the city of Zhuangwu.
So there are thirty thousand troops moving towards the border to increase the strength of the troops at the border.
While the strength of the troops in Pingdu city currently only amounted to ten thousand people and added to the Ma Guang army which numbered five hundred people outside the existing commanders.
Ma Guang now possessed an extremely powerful soul force. The young man could travel with his soul up to thousands of kilos of meters away. But it will be very draining energy even if only once do that.
Indeed, Ma Guang's abilities were extremely frightening. But it still has its weaknesses, which is not able to travel far when he does not know the position of the place to be on the table, is very draining of energy and also must be someone who takes care of his body. Otherwise, it would be fatal if anyone attacked him. He cannot kill his opponent.
That ability could only make his opponent become like a living person but like he was dead.
With that ability, Ma Guang's soul could go to the Yellow Bamboo sect in just a matter of minutes. But after doing so, Ma Guang's soul power would decrease and it would take him up to a week to strengthen his soul power again. So that ability must be used as well as possible.
While the soul force of Xia Jiao and also Yuan Jiali was still unable to do what Ma Guang could.
In the morning, Ma Guang prepared to head to the main hall of the Pingdu palace.
"General Ma! Please sit down." Jin Xian.
Ma Guang immediately greeted everyone present while saluting all of them and immediately sat down where they were available.
Finally the Pingdu city lord Jin Xian began their discussion.
"General Ma! Our eyes have told us that a large number of Lai royal troops are moving towards the border region."
"Kira - how many troops do they have?". Ask Ma Guang.
"The information we have, has not been ascertained how many troops they think, it is because the troops in Ni city are watching every movement of people they suspect. And only a postal pigeon can be sent." Jin Xian.
"We have also sent a message to the troops who are conducting patrols in the border area." Further again.
"Kira - guess how long they travel until arriving and join their troops in the border region?". Ask Ma Guang.
"The time their troops will arrive depends on the destination where their troops will arrive. If heading to Pingcheng city they will take about 5 days. As for heading to Zhuangwu city, their troops would take 4 days, just like to head to Ye city territory."
Jin Xian explained to Ma Guang.
"So that's also the time we need to face their troops." Ma Guang.
"Has this information been conveyed to the ruler of Zhuangwu?". Ask Ma Guang.
"It is likely that they also already know about it, because they also certainly have eyes - eyes also in the capital of the Lai kingdom." Jin Xian.
"But it would be better if we were to inform this information and also our troops would be moving southward." Ma Guang.
After hearing what Ma Guang said, Jin Xian immediately ordered a commander to do so.
Before a commander was ordered to leave, a soldier came in reporting that information had just arrived from Zhuangwu city.
Jin Xian immediately ordered to read out what information they had just received.
The soldier read the information.
After hearing the information that had just been read by a soldier. Jin Xian, Ma Guang as well as everyone present within the hall room immediately nodded their heads.
Now they knew that the information they had received had also been received by the city lord Zhuangwu.
And their troops were also preparing to welcome the arrival of the Lai royal army.
"All right! Then now we have started to be able to prepare also the troops we have." Ma Guang.
"Yes! We must immediately prepare our troops as well". Jin Xian said as well.
Finally the meeting was finished and they all now walked to the field where the usual whole army was gathered.
Xia Jiao, Yuan Jiali and the five commanders and soldiers who were subordinate to Ma Guang immediately gathered at the place.
