The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 38. The Imperial Capital
A little while later, they finally arrived in front of a building that looked very majestic.
" Please sir - sir." Said the soldier
Patriarch Yao Han and Ma Guang immediately entered the building.
Upon arrival, Emperor Zhou Muwang and his daughter had been waiting for the two men to arrive.
" Servant salutes the noble." Patriarch and Ma Guang said.
" Please sit down." Emperor Saying.
Hearing what the Emperor said, the two men sat down.
" What's so important that His Majesty invites the servant personally like this?." Ask patriarch.
" Look, Ku Zhou's daughter Lu Yun wants to become a disciple in the Mu sect." Emperor Saying.
Patriarch Yao Han was instantly shocked to hear that, and thought hard if the Emperor's daughter was in his sect.
What else was the politics of the country at that time was not good.
" Servant begs His Majesty's mercy, but the servant sect is not too strong to accept Zhou's princess Lu Yun, if it is known by the parties who are not in line with His Majesty, surely they'll send a lot of people to get the princess." Patriarch.
" Patriarch Yao! That I had thought about it from the beginning, My daughter would go along with Your entourage without the knowledge of anyone other than us who is there right now." Emperor Saying.
" Therefore, I give the responsibility to keep and keep secret the status of my daughter to the Patriarch and also to Guang'er." Said the Emperor again.
" Slave is willing to do it." Said Patriarch and Ma Guang simultaneously.
" Well, then, tonight my daughter will head to the residence of the Yellow Bamboo sect, so that in the morning tomorrow, your entourage will return to the sect, my daughter is already together with your entourage." Said the Emperor again.
" Yun! Prepare yourself to go with Patriarch Yao and Guang'er." The Emperor said to his daughter.
Finally the beautiful girl moved and walked into the room to prepare herself.
After a while later, three people walked out of the magnificent building and walked towards the residence of the Yellow Bamboo sect.
One of the three men used a hood and a veil.
Upon arrival at the residence of the Yellow Bamboo sect, the Patriarch directly directed the girl to one of the rooms for her place.
" Daughter Lord! I'm sorry if you have to sleep in this place." Patriarch Speaks.
" Patriarch! I beg you to treat me like a disciple of the sect in general, so as not to attract the attention of others." Said the Princess.
" Alright, then the servant will call the princess with Yun'er alone." Patriarch.
" Yes, just call me by my name."
The next day, the entourage of the Prince and Miss Tjia, was already in front of the residence of the Yellow Bamboo sect.
Finally after the entourage from the Yellow Bamboo sect had prepared, they immediately traveled.
Inside the group were two horse carriages. Inside the two horse carriages, were none other than Prince and Miss Tjia.
Patriarch Yao Han was inside the Prince's carriage to accompany the young man.
It was requested by the Prince.
As for Miss Tjia, only herself and her maid were in the carriage.
However Ma Guang, Duan Jun, elder Ying Zhao and also the Emperor's daughter walked on their own horses beside Miss Tjia's carriage.
The princess herself had always been near Ma Guang.
Eventually the party left the city of Louyang which was the capital of the Empire.
Originally elder Ying Zhao and Duan Jun had indeed inquired about the princess' presence.
But the Patriarch as well as Ma Guang explained, that the girl was the daughter of one of the senior soldiers in the Empire who was interested in becoming a disciple in their sect.
Hearing the explanation from the Patriarch as well as from Ma Guang, the two people ended up getting into a fight.
Ma Guang was entrusted by the Patriarch to guard the Emperor's daughter.
After a day of travel, they finally rested and made two tents for the prince and princess Tjia.
That night became the first night for the Emperor's daughter in feeling the life that turned 180 degrees from her life so far.
The beautiful girl slept in the forest only by using a tree trunk as her backrest.
A bodyguard of Miss Tjia came to call Ma Guang.
" Strade Ma! Miss asked you to go to her tent." Said the guard.
" All right." Ma Guang.
Ma Guang then stood up as his hand grabbed the Emperor's daughter's hand to follow her.
The Emperor's daughter immediately followed Ma Guang from behind.
After arriving at Miss Tjia's tent, Ma Guang was finally invited to enter.
When the princess wanted to follow Ma Guang to enter, a bodyguard prevented her.
" Sorry! You can't go in." Said the guard.
Ma Guang, who saw and heard what the bodyguard said, finally abandoned his intention to enter and turned around to return to his previous place.
After the Tjia family guards saw Ma Guang not going into the tent and immediately turned around. The bodyguards immediately tried to prevent it.
" Strade Ma! Why don't you come in?." Said the guard.
" It's because you forbid this girl to enter with me." Ma Guang said as he walked and was followed by the princess who was beside him.
" I'm sorry, my swordsman! But according to the order that Miss Tjia gave, only Ma's swordsman was allowed to enter." Say that bodyguard again.
" I also have the right to refuse Miss Tjia's call, and I ask you not to bother Me anymore? Also tell Miss Tjia what I said earlier." Said Ma Guang in a firm tone of voice.
Hearing this, the bodyguard stopped his steps and went back to Miss Tjia's tent to tell him what had happened.
After the bodyguard explained what had happened, Miss Tjia immediately scolded the bodyguard.
" Why did you do that? You have offended the swordsman Ma." Said Miss Tjia in an angry tone of voice to the bodyguard.
" Let me go to see him." Said Miss Tjia while standing up and stepping her feet to head to where Ma Guang was.
When she arrived in front of Ma Guang, Miss Tjia immediately greeted the man.
" I'm sorry for the carelessness of my bodyguards who have offended the swordsman Ma." Say the girl.
Seeing what Miss Tjia was doing, the Emperor's daughter immediately understood why it was done by Miss Tjia.
" It turns out this girl likes Ma Guang too." The Emperor's daughter muttered in his heart.
While Ma Guang did not expect the presence of Miss Tjia so he could come to his place.
" Miss Tjia, I'm sorry if I turned down your invitation." Said Ma Guang while cupping his hands.
Hearing what Ma Guang said, Miss Tjia immediately smiled and said.
" Strade Ma! Can I sit here too?." Tanya Tjia Annchi's.
Go ahead, if that's what Miss Tjia wants." Answer Ma Guang.
Finally the girl sat down beside Ma Guang.
The girl did not seem to assume the existence of the Emperor's daughter there.
Duan Juan also gasped at the sight of what Miss Tjia was doing.
The young man felt himself also ignored by the three people.
As for elder Ying Zhao, he was now inside the prince's tent with the patriarch as well as the General who was escorting the prince.
That night passed.
The next day, the group resumed their journey.
