The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 125. Hiring a Killer Pay
The prince asked the truth of the information that General Wang had told him, about the strange ability possessed by the swordsman in front of him.
"Yes prince! What General Wang said was true". Answer the swordsman.
"Oh.so it's like that yeah! What's your name? And where did you come from?". Ask the prince again.
The warrior also introduced his name, Ki Kebo Pengging and came from a land area located far southeast of the Qi kingdom.
After hearing the explanation from the swordsman, the prince now understood that the swordsman was from a distant place and that the place was a place that had not been heard or known by him.
"Can you demonstrate that?". Ask Prince.
"Which things should be demonstrated?". Ask Ki Kebo Pengging.
"Members of the body separated from the body can fall back". Prince said expectantly.
"All right! I'll prove it, that it's true". Said the swordsman while slashing his left arm until it broke off and fell to the ground.
After he finished slashing his left arm, suddenly the left arm reacted like a magnet was attracted and re-integrated with his body.
The prince's eyes immediately glared at what had just happened before his eyes.
The prince felt disbelief, with what he had just seen.
"Why is it like that? Can it be practiced by just anyone?". Ask the prince with hope.
"In our region, this is referred to as kanuragan science or also commonly referred to as a study, and this cannot be relegated to just anyone". Said the warrior.
"Would this be able to defeat a peak-level warrior?". Ask prince.
"The height of the mountain we cannot know, if the mountain we do not climb". Said the warrior.
"What do these words mean?". The prince asked because he did not understand what the warrior was saying.
"Before I deal with it, how can I say I can or cannot defeat a holy swordsman or whatever his level". Said the warrior.
"Oh, so it's like that huh!?". Prince.
"But before that I wanted to ask the prince. How much would I pay if I could catch or kill him?". Ask the swordsman.
"I will give you five thousand gold coins!". Prince.
Hearing the amount of payment he would receive, Ki Kebo Pengging's eyes immediately sparkled - twinkling with an excited smile to quickly want to complete the mission he would carry.
"Who am I going to kill and where is he staying?". Ask Ki Kebo Pengging.
"His name is Ma Guang! And his place was in the Yellow Bamboo sect!". Prince.
"What's? Ma Guang's? Isn't that the name of a young man who became a general in this Qi kingdom!? Why kill him?". Asked Ki Kebo Pengging who felt disbelief at the prince's orders.
"Yes! Indeed he is the one.I want to solve the final problem - this is happening in the territory of the Qi kingdom". Answer prince.
"Don't according to the rumors, he himself caused it?". Ki Kebo Pengging muttered in his heart.
"Oh.so it's like that yeah! All right, I'm accepting this offer, and I also need a ten percent payment on the whole payment as supplies on the way". Say the swordsman.
The prince immediately ordered General Wang Xuesi to take the gold coins determined by Ki Kebo Pengging.
"Because of his hatred so much that this prince looks so stupid, this much money can be given away to Me". Ki Kebo Pengging muttered in his heart.
"Give him the money! And don't let you disappoint us!". Prince.
"Prince! If I disappoint you, it is a sign that my life is no longer helped". Said Ki Kebo Pengging with a smile.
General Wang immediately gave the gold coins to Ki Kebo Pengging, and was immediately received by the swordsman.
Ki Kebo Pengging finally resigned and returned to the inn he had stopped at before.
The prince and general Wang continued their conversation.
In the border region between the Lu kingdom and also the Qi kingdom, now there was a movement of the Lu kingdom soldiers to provoke the Qi kingdom soldiers who were patrolling the border of the region.
Although the Lu kingdom was smaller than the Qi kingdom, the fighting strength of the Lu royal forces could not be underestimated, because the combat equipment of the royal forces was very strong, because the fighting equipment of the royal army was very strong, so their cavalry troops are very difficult to conquer.
As for the Chu kingdom army itself, as well as doing the same thing as the Lu kingdom army, they began to dare to provoke the Qi kingdom's border guard troops.
It was caused by the problems in the Qi kingdom that had spread quickly to the kingdoms around it.
Unlike the case with the Lai kingdom, the kingdom did not do the same with the other two kingdoms, it was because the strength of their troops reduced a lot during the previous battle.
Ma Guang himself had now prepared his troops to face the worst possibility that the king would do.
As for the higher-ups in the Yellow Bamboo sect, it had now started to increase their abilities.
Ki Kebo Pengging finally traveled from the capital of the Qi kingdom to head to the place where Ma Guang was.
The Yellow Bamboo Sect.
Ma Guang was now at the residence of elder Duan.
There were some people sitting with him.
Xia Jiao, Yuan Jiali, elder Duan Dazhong, Duan Jun, Duan Meng, Zhou Lu Yun and Tjia Annchi as well as Jia Dawei.
They were listening to what Ma Guang had to say about the possible situation.
Hearing what Ma Guang explained, Zhou Lu Yun immediately spoke up.
"Decider Ma! What if I just tell this to the emperor? So that Ma's swordsman can get help".
"Mr princess! The political situation in the imperial capital is currently unstable, so this matter will only add to the burden on the mind of His Majesty the Emperor". Ma Guang.
"The princess can see for herself how the response of the empire is when some kingdoms often occur friction or battle, does His Majesty the Emperor intervene to solve it? It was not done by His Majesty the Emperor, because the kingdom that was originally in the imperial territory was only in the form of a duchy led by a duke who was appointed by the Emperor himself, both those from the emperor's own family, as well as because of their achievements. But now they have all confirmed every territory they control into a kingdom. So this situation is not necessary for us to report to His Majesty the Emperor". Ma Guang.
"True Princess! What Guang'er said, is the reality that is happening right now in the territory of our empire". Elder Duan Dazhong's words confirmed Ma Guang's words.
Hearing what Ma Guang said, Zhou Lu Yun's daughter just nodded her head slowly.
"What about My family who is also one of the pillars in this Qi kingdom? Can it help Ma's swordsman?". Tjia Annchi.
"Actually Miss Tjia's family will be very helpful if the head of the Tjia family is not in line with the way the king and the prince think, but it can not be ascertained as well, because the noble family of Tjia will definitely think hard in order to help us". Ma Guang.
