The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 124. The King of Qi's Order to the Prince
Although the king had instructed that the matter could not be known by outsiders, it remained widespread throughout the kingdom within two days.
Now the people felt that what the king had done to Ma Guang was a great humiliation and betrayal for them.
As for the Qi royal officials, there were pros and cons in responding to what the king was doing.
On the side that does not like what the king does are people who think for the benefit of his people.
But on the pro side feel, what the king wants or commands must be obeyed and granted. And they are the ones who often lick to get strategic positions from the king, as well as those who think to take advantage of the weakness of the king so that they can roll over his power.
Which makes the incident can be widespread throughout the territory of the Qi kingdom in just a period of two days, it is because people who want the downfall of the king who deliberately spread it.
After four days had passed, the king's adviser immediately came to the king Qi Guan Zhong to report the situation in the middle of the current society.
After hearing what his advisor said, the king began to grow furious and hit the table in front of him to shatter into pieces.
"Who would dare to divulge the matter to the general public? I will give the penalty to him and to his whole family. Quickly you investigate who spread the matter and quickly report it to me!".
The king now stood up from his seat and began to walk back and forth.
His anxiety increased because of this.
"Why can I be this stupid? All this was caused by the child's will, he who caused so that this kingdom would face a very serious problem, he said, if the news reached the ears of the kings - kings who have always been hostile to us, surely they would take advantage of this situation to attack us". The King muttered with his worried face.
"This matter must be resolved quickly, I must call Yuan'er and tell him to resolve the matter". The King murmured again.
Finally the king called a soldier and ordered him to call the prince Qi Yuan.
A soldier rushed straight to the palace of the Qi Yuan prince.
After arriving in front of the palace of the prince's residence, the soldier was immediately welcomed by the soldier who was on guard.
"What need did you come here for?". Ask the soldier who is on guard.
"The prince was ordered by His Majesty the King to face him!". Answer the soldier commanded by the king.
"All right! I'll deliver it!". Said the soldier standing guard.
"The prince must immediately go before the king's majesty, otherwise he will get a severe punishment from the king". The soldier commanded by the king.
After the guard entered, not long after the prince came out of his residence.
The prince went hand in hand with the soldier commanded by the king.
Not long after, the two of them were already in front of the royal palace.
The prince went in and saluted the king.
Before the prince rose from his prostration stance, the king of Qi Guan Zhong directly strafed him with a few sentences.
"Yuan! You have to solve the problems that are happening right now, if you can't solve them, then I will give You a severe punishment". Speak to the king with a firm tone of voice.
"But what problem should I solve?". Qi Yuan said as if he did not know what his father meant.
"The things that happen because of your desire". Said the king.
Indeed, the relationship between the king and prince during the Zhou empire, unlike the relationship of a king and prince in the royal period - the imperial kingdom after him.
This was because at that time, all the kings that existed, before they were just dukes appointed by the Zhou emperor to lead a territory, the king of the Zhou, but because of the political situation at that time that was no longer stable, so the dukes and nobles also immediately established themselves as a king in the region where they ruled.
So the relationship between a king and their son is like a noble who loves their children.
And that was what made Qi Yuan not too formal to talk to his father, even though his father was also an imperial family, but Qi Yuan was already used to the upbringing of a noble.
"Is this matter related to our treatment of Ma Guang?". Qi Yuan asked his father.
"All right! I'll sort that out!". Said Qi Yuan confidently.
"If indeed you will finish it, quickly finish it, and if it is not resolved, never show Yourself before Me". Speak to the king with a firm tone of voice.
Prince Qi Yuan immediately left the main hall of the king's palace.
"I'll see how I can solve this problem". Mumbled the king.
Upon arriving at his residence, the prince immediately summoned general Wang Xuezi to face.
Not long after, general Wang Xuezi was already before him.
"What does the prince call me these nights? Is there anything important to talk about?".
"Yes! And this is very important". Prince.
"What's important?".
"We must kill Ma Guang immediately, because that is the best way to solve the problems that exist in the middle of the society in the territory of this Qi kingdom".
"For I do not want to get punishment from My father for to the selfishness of that man's heart not to hand Miss Xia and Miss Yuan over to Me".
"Prince! Will this not make His Majesty the King more angry?". Ask Wang Xuesi.
"My father must also hate the young man very much, surely he will feel happy if the source of the problems in this kingdom has been destroyed". Said Qi Yuan with confidence.
"Have you found a warrior who can overcome Ma Guang?". Further again.
"Yes prince! I've found a swordsman, but his abilities are beyond our comprehension, prince!". General Wang explained to the prince.
"What is his ability?". Ask prince.
"Members of his severed body can reconnect the prince".
"Is what you're saying real, or just a story?". Ask the prince again.
"Right prince, I saw it with my own eyes.... Does the prince want to see him firsthand for his abilities?".
"Yes! I want to see for myself how he is capable". Prince.
"All right! Then I'll resign myself to call him to come here". Wang Xuesi.
Wang Xuesi immediately left the prince at his residence.
The man went straight to the place where he could meet the swordsman he had told the prince.
"Is the swordsman really what General Wang said? If that were true, the warrior would have been able to defeat Ma Guang and My dream would have been achieved". The prince muttered with a cynical smile.
Moments later, the general Wang Xuesi finally came along with someone whose stature seemed to strongly intimidate anyone who looked at him.
Long hair that looks unkempt, and use a skull necklace like a human but small while carrying a machete.
"Hamba faced the prince to take orders according to what General Wang had said". Said the swordsman while saluting the prince.
"Oh, so you're the swordsman General Wang told you about?". Ask prince.
"Yes prince!". Answer the swordsman.
"Is it true that you can reconnect if one of Your limbs has been separated from Your body?". Ask the Prince again.
