#177's chat. The return of Shun Zhi
Three weeks after the wedding of Emperor Shun Zhi and Princess Xiao Xia. A large troop of about ten thousand people was seen entering the Han empire.. the presence of the troop of soldiers was greeted enthusiastically by the inhabitants of the Han empire because the soldiers raised the banner of the greatness of the Ming empire.
Ten thousand soldiers led directly by General Chou were indeed in charge of picking up emperor Shun Zhi back to the Ming empire.
After resting for several days, Emperor Shun Zhi and his entire army returned to the Ming empire to ensure the safety of his daughter and son-in-law.. emperor Xiao Yan also assigned two thousand soldiers from the blue eagle army led by Lin Dan to escort it all the way to the border.

"Now it is deserted.it is time we discuss the plan..! "
"General Guan. Please get me the map.. !" xiao Yan said as he and General Guan and Chen Khu met again in the secret room.
After Guan Yu unfurled the map of the Han empire on the table.. Xiao Yan began to explain to Chen Khu about the locations that were reported to have been attacked by groups of demon assassins.
General Guan also occasionally added what his emperor said while Chen Khu nodded - nodding his head or occasionally pointing at points on the map if any were not understood.
General Guan also explained to Chen Khi that from the information they got from the eyes that had been spread.. there have been some strange movements from the sects that existed in the Han imperial region in the past few weeks.
Chen Khu carefully observed the map and the locations indicated by General Guan, but his lack of experience in military strategy made him only a loyal listener while waiting for the task to be assigned to him.
"Alright brother Chen. I ask you to keep an eye on this region.this and this. "said Xiao Yan while making a circle on the map using his finger.
"For the rest of the region we will talk with the other top brass military officials" Xiao Yan continued.
"Okay, your highness..! " chhen Khu replied in agreement, although the area of his duty was the farthest from the capital but Chen Khu still accepted it.. emperor Xiao Yan deliberately gave away a distant location to Chen Khu recalling.. Chen Khu would have no trouble reaching the three regions.
"When did I start, your majesty..? " ask Chen Khu later.
"Tomorrow..!! "
"Lin Dan and the army of blue eagles will arrive tomorrow morning from the border.he will accompany you to watch the three regions" replied Xiao Yan.
"Lin Dan..?! " reply Chen Khu as he turned to General Guan.
"Yes.. Lin Dan. he was one of our best commanders who also came to pick up the noble emperor Shun Zhi when he was leaving here. " replied Guan Yu as if he understood the intent of Chen Khu.
" His age is still very young for swordsman size, but his talent and martial ability is one of the best in this empire. I don't think he will burden you too much later.. " xiao Yan said.
"I've seen his fighting skills before, and if he gets the right teachers and resources, I'm sure he'll be a great warrior later on" Chen Khu replied.

The night began to climb.the sense of was - was still approaching the feeling of Xiao Yan will be safe daughter and daughter-in-law.
"For the noble mind to be calmer. How about we look directly at their current state.. ?!" chen Khu said, arriving with a smile at Xiao Yan.
"But... besook..??... " Xiao Yan had yet to finish his remark when the palm of Chen Khu had already grasped the back collar of the robe he was wearing along with the collar of the clothes Guan Yu was wearing...then it instantly soared high up in the air.
"We can still start the journey by riding to save energy and not attract the attention of many people.. " said Chen Khu while chuckling to see the position of Xiao Yan and Guan Yu like two kittens who can only resign to where they will be taken.
" fix your position because after this, the wind will be firmer." said Chen Khu continued and changed the position of his body dived forward followed by the two brothers.
Then with lightning fast.. Chen Khu darted forward in the direction taken by the entourage of emperor Shun Zhi.
On their way that night, the three could see two campsites, the first location they saw was the encampment of blue eagle troops who had returned from the border..while the second location is the encampment of the Shun Zhi emperor who was already within the Ming imperial territory which was originally the territory of the Qing empire.
Seen several groups of soldiers who were on guard sitting in front of the bonfire to warm their bodies while in the grand main tent looked dozens of armed soldiers complete with a vigilant attitude appeared to be on guard.
"It seems like everything is fine - maybe I'm just too worried" Xiao Yan said from a height as Chen Khu stopped just above the main tent and briefly looked at his surroundings.
"We're going down for a while or what about your majesty..? " said Chen Khu slowly.
"We just go home. My worries are too excessive, until I forget that our next mission is more important for the safety of the Han imperial population." Xiao Yan replied.
Without waiting for further orders.. Chen Khu immediately turned his back and darted back towards the Han emperor's palace and descended back in the palace garden without being noticed by a single soldier who was on guard.
"Brother Chen.. How do you do that.. ?" said Guan Yu stammered - brick trying to normalize his breathing that had been congested because of the speed of flying Chen Khu.
"It's easy, most importantly, the general must have a very large internal force to make your body float in the air.. "
"Like the science of lightening the body that makes us able to jump further many times compared to the jump without using the science of lightening the body.. "
"Just in the science of lightening our bodies only use less energy because the inner power will be released again when our feet find the next footing.. " Chen Khu explained to the two brothers.
"Hmm.. is it easy..??! "
"having a deep energy level with a very large amount you say easy brother Chen..? " reply Guan Yu could hardly believe it.
"Yes, of course.. "
"I can even do it when I am not yet seventeen years old." Chen Khu replied with a deep smile.
"What..!! " ying Xiao Yan and Guan Yu shouted simultaneously to the surprise of the dozens of soldiers who were on guard and immediately ran towards the source of the voice but they immediately knelt in salute when they saw the owner of the voice was the one who was most respected in the Han Empire.
