The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#155. Preparation for the Emperor's departure
"Where have I arrived..? " murm Chen Khu in his heart.while looking around because after flying for more than two hours.as far as the eye can see only the vast expanse of forest presented before him.
"Or. don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't the grandpa deliberately point the wrong way.. !!" his words in the heart..
Chen Khu recalled Maruka's habits that could change at any time and this time.When Chen Khu lost his way, his thoughts went back to that grandfather who might have nailed him.
Chen Khu lowered his height, and decided to speak to the high branches of the tree to re-determine the direction it was heading.. Chen Khu then smiled to himself, recalling Maruka's moment of origin when he asked her which direction she should take to get to the Ming Empire as soon as possible.. Chen Khu even shook his head - shaking his head at the foolishness of believing in the direction indicated by the Maruka while watching the green bracelet he wore.
Chen Khu still clearly remembered when he had finished the training given by Maruka and managed to unite Chi as well as his inner strength into Qi.. the days they passed were filled with laughter interspersed with sparring training by the two.
This is of course like reopening Maruka's mind which has been confined in solitude.Even several times Chen Khu expressed his maximum to leave, Maruka was impressed as blocking - blocking Chen Khu's intentions.

"Master teacher.it's almost a month after I got my Qi. and it seems like I should return to Ming as soon as possible" Chen Khu said one morning.
"If you leave. means I will be alone again..?! " maruka replied with a blank look.His brain which had originally been functioning normally like an ordinary person now again showed his dual personality.
"But Master.What does it mean that we have the strength and the ability if we have to shut ourselves in this place..?? wouldn't it be best if the ability we have could be used to help others..? " chhen Khu's question made Maruka speechless.
"If master teacher is afraid of feeling lonely again.I will show you a place where master teacher can be accepted and master teacher can use master teacher's ability to keep the crowd safe.. " chen Khu continued. The look on Maruka's face changed again, this time she seemed excited to hear Chen Khu's words.
"Master Master go to the land of Gurjara.and greet my greetings to Mathanadeva.and tell him if I ask the master teacher to see him.. " chen Khu said back while giving a badge of the greatness of the kingdom of Gurjara which is a gift from Mathanadeva.
"Oh. yeah, and one more thing..!!" Chen Khu brought lipix closer to Maruka's ear.
"in the near future, the princess will hold a martial competition.who will be the winner will be made husband by her. and if the Master teacher looks like this, he will be the winner, Master teacher seems to be able to enter the competition.. "
"Based on stupid students..!! I'm even older than her grandmother's three descendants..!! " maruka's curse accompanied by the push of the palm that made Chen Khu thrown a few meters just instead of feeling pain, Chen Khu laughed out loud - bahak saw the reaction shown by the Maruka.
"I'm going to Gurjara to follow your advice, not to participate in such a stupid competition..!! " said Maruka who still looks upset.
"what stance master teacher will not change after seeing the princess...?? " chhen Khu said with a mocking smile.
"Heh.. stupid disciple.I will kill you if I still show that smile..!! " reply back Maruka but turned her head in the other direction and fixed the badge given by Chen Khu.
"Haha... Forgive me master teacher. " Chen Khu said as he walked closer to Maruka who looked sulky.
"This is a sign that you were once my student.. "..Maruka was seen taking out a green bracelet made of jade from inside her robe.
"This is what master teacher..?"
"his name.. Jade Universe.the use is the same as kuokaa. only this bracelet is able to store more objects than kuokaa, after all.. you have to make a blood seal with this bracelet to be able to take or store objects in it. "said Maruka then forcefully pulled Chen Khu's hand and with the tip of his fingernails, he said, Maruka made a small cut on Chen Khu's thumb and dripped it on the universe bracelet.
The green bracelet then reacted when Chen Khu's blood drops hit it, then arrived - suddenly the bracelet was already coiled on Chen Khu's wrist.
"Master teacher.if that's the name is not a memory - memories. but exchanging souvenirs." said Chen Khu protested.
"Ah... never mind..!! after all. kuokaa is also shabby..more appropriate if he comes back with me.." said Maruka did not want to argue further.
Chen Khu then took out the sky dragon sword from within the magic bag as well as some of his belongings, but the moment Chen Khu took out a few bags of money for his supplies during the trip Maruka rebuked him.
"Based on greedy students..!! in the bracelet is stored a lot of gold and silver. but you still want to add more..?! " snaps Maruka.
"Ma. ma. sorry master teacher. I don't know. I thought this bracelet was still empty." Chen Khu smiled wryly.
"The bracelet has been used for generations, and its users are all warriors - the strongest swordsmen.Even one of its users was once an emperor." said Maruka still in a high tone.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry master teacher.this is my return to everything." said Chen Khu in a regretful tone.
"Well then, may we meet at a later time.. " Maruka lowered her tone and hugged Chen Khu tightly..
"Oh.. yes master teacher..I have to go which way if I want to quickly return to the Ming empire..? " said Chen Khu who was still in Maruka's arms.
"There..!!! " reply Maruka briefly as she pointed her index finger without looking in the direction she pointed.

"We will continue the journey or will just daydream here all day..??! " Hua Tuo's voice broke Chen Khu's daydream.
Chen Khu gasped then regained his senses from his daydream, and thought about returning to continue on his way, having again ascertained the direction he would take.. but his rumbling stomach forced him to go down to the forest floor and look for something to eat, besides that the sun was already slightly inclined to the west, forcing him to spend the night in that place, because it is very risky if flying at night, especially Chen Khu does not know the direction it will go.

"How is the preparedness of our journey tomorrow General..?! " Emperor Shun Zhi welcomes the arrival of General Chou who has just entered the meeting room.
In the meeting room there are also five Han emperor warriors who will accompany the departure of Emperor Shun Zhi the next morning.
"Everything has been carried out according to the noble plan.I have also placed five hundred soldiers at each point that is suspected to be the location to block our entourage..warriors - warriors from the sects - the white sect belonging to the alliance had also arrived at the palace.. "
"although their numbers are not too many because each sect also worries about the safety of their sect, but we still get an additional two thousand and five hundred noble warriors.. " general Chou gave a report.
" How is commander Lin..? are those seven thousand five hundred people enough..?! " question the emperor Shun Zhi to Lin Dan who was one of the warriors who was the commander of the elite forces of the Han imperial guard.
"I think that's enough, your majesty" he replied with a smile after seeing the four comrades also nod in agreement.. "
"Okay General.I want all the soldiers ready when we leave tomorrow..!! "
"Who is your highness..!! " general Chou replied and left the room again.
