The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#157. The Ming Imperial Region
The glint of sunlight reflecting on the small river built up Chen Khu that morning.. Chen Khu who had just slept at dawn after recovering some of his energy was shocked because the sun had started to rise so that he could enter through the gaps of the leaves and greet him.
"I must hurry..! " he murmured in heart, and after washing his face in the clear and cold river.. Chen Khu did not wait long though for breakfast and immediately continued his journey..
After two hours of flying.. Chen Khu breathed a sigh of relief because faintly in the distance Chen Khu could see a small town.eating leza, arak, as well as warm water baths began to fill his mind..Chen Khu again increased his speed to be able to reach the small town as soon as possible.
Chen Khu looked for a quiet place to go down and then walked towards the city gate, which seemed to be guarded by twenty warriors dressed in Ming imperial uniforms.
"Yuan City.. Have I reached the Ming empire..? " Chen Khu said stale to the soldier who was on guard after reading the sign on the gate.
"True sir. like you're new here..! " answered one of the soldiers kindly.
"It used to be a territory belonging to the Qing empire, but after the Qing empire was defeated by the Ming empire, it automatically became the property of the Ming empire" another soldier chimed in.
"Oh..iya... Where can I get a restaurant in this city..? " ask Chen Khu with a friendly smile that was impressed by the friendliness of the Ming imperial warriors.
"There are only three restaurants in this city, sir. because this is only a small town and not traversed by the main line..it's just that restaurants provide food that tastes no different from restaurants in big cities.
"Ooh.. so well, my lord please say goodbye, " Chen Khu intended to step foot.
"Eeh.. apologize sir if we disturb your comfort.but because of the emperor's marriage, then all entrances are strictly guarded.let alone behind this.."
"So for that we have to check you before entering this city" said one of the soldiers who looks like the commander of the soldiers.
Although it was not seen carrying a sword or any other item.. Chen Khu obeyed the rules as the soldiers said, and not for how long the commander of the soldiers allowed Chen Khu to enter Yuan city.
"Emperor married..??! though his age was. ahh. had it. "murm Chen Khu inwardly as he walked into the small town.
"Welcome sir.. what message would you like..? " the servant said as he watched Chen Khu from head to toe.
"Why are you paying attention to me like that madam..?! is there something wrong with my appearance..? " said Chen Khu.
"eeh. sorry.no sir.it's just like you just traveled far from the southern continent." replied the waiter.
"Oh. this is. oh. yes, I am from there and happened to pass this way.. " reply Chen Khu misbehaved to see the clothes he was wearing was not the clothes commonly used by people - people of the central mainland continent in general.. and Chen Khu just remembered if his clothes were stored in a magic bag that is now carried by Maruka..
"Hmm. the grandfather apparently his influence is still felt here." muttered Chen Khu inwardly while scratching his head.
"Sorry sir.. What is the master so to order food..?! " the servant's question resuscitated Chen Khu.
"Oh, yes, I want the best food and the best wine from this restaurant." said Chen Khu then walked to a table located a little to the corner.
The quiet atmosphere of the restaurant made Chen Khu free to choose any table, and Chen Khu deliberately chose the most corner table so that later did not provoke attention again if there were visitors who came.
After a long wait, the waiter finally brought food ordered by Chen Khu and accompanied by another waiter who brought a jar of wine.
"Please enjoy the master." said the servant and intended to leave Chen Khu.
"Master has to head north if he wants to find the main road and will take a day's ride on horseback" replied the waiter.
"Thank you madam.. "
" Same - same sir.. "
The two maids left Chen Khu who started to enjoy his meal, but when Chen Khu had just finished his meal and had just poured wine into his cup.. five people dressed in black with red scorpions on their chest entered the restaurant.
"Sister.. won't the chairman get angry if we leave our group..?! " ask one of them to one of the largest and most well-built.
"You take it easy. Emperor Shun Zhi's entourage will also be until the day will be dark.again, we just come to eat here, the food in the forest makes me bored.. " heard the name of the emperor Shun Zhi called by the man, Chen Khu immediately sharpened his hearing to know the direction of the conversation of people who had just arrived.
"Amusement.." cried the man and sat down and slammed his sword on the table.The waitress who was sitting was surprised and immediately ran over to the guest who had just entered.
"Bring us the best food and also the best wine in this restaurant." snapped the man.
"ii. yes, sir, " replied the middle-aged maid.
"Silver ordered wine..?? " ask one of the men.
"Why..?? never mind. a jug of wine will not make you drunk, after all.Our opponent is also his ability is far below us. so there is nothing to worry about. "said the sturdy man with a laugh.
The four men who were with the sturdy man were only speechless at hearing the answer, although in their hearts they feel afraid if at any time Zhao Li finds out if they leave the group that has been ordered to always be on standby in their respective places.
"Please sir..!! " the waiter who brought the food hurriedly left after serving the food on the table, but when the two servants slightly moved away, Chen Khu called one of the two servants.
"Who are they..?! " chhen Khu whispered to the servant.
"I don't know either, sir, but they were also the first time here." the servant replied.
"Alright, thank you, " Chen Khu said, then let the servant go.
" All how many..?! " ask Chen Khu After finishing the wine he ordered, and stood up and walked to the reception desk to pay.
"One piece of silver, sir, " replied the servant.
"Oh.I mean their food too." said Chen Khu as he turned towards the table of the five people who looked very greedy enjoying their meal regardless of Chen Khu who was looking.
"All four pieces of silver, sir" replied the servant.
Chen Khu took out a piece of gold coin from his bracelet and made the female servant flinch but Chen Khu gave him a sign not to speak.. Chen Khu then took out a chair and brought the chair and placed it near the table of the five people, making all five stunned and compact looking at Chen Khu who looked very confident with his appearance.
"Sorry sir... I heard you mention the name of emperor Shun Zhi.. What is it..??!" Chen Khu asked in a friendly tone and faced the sturdy-bodied man whom the other comrades had summoned big brother.
