Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Departure Stoppages

"Let's hurry, we'll find them over there!" the screams of some people sounded from the distance.

Someone is running towards the Cave where the masked robbers are hiding right now. "Master. There's a lot of armed forces heading this way" the man said.

Everyone was immediately surprised. They rushed to look out to see if it was true or not? Or is this guy seeing wrong!

No way!

All of them immediately prepared to leave after seeing hundreds of heavily armed Royal troops heading towards where they were currently. It seemed, the army was indeed looking for them.

"Dad, we gotta get going!" bring her four children.

Mr. Khong nodded and immediately prepared to leave the place. It was unexpected that the soldiers found their hiding place so easily. Did Zhaoling divulge their secrets and bring his army here to capture them all?

No. .. no! He's not that kind of person. Jihu was sure that Zhaoling was a good man and all his words were trustworthy.

Ever since they spoke three days ago, Jihu felt that he had gotten quite close to the cold man. Moreover, he was the husband of his foster sister. Although they are currently in a feud because of Yoona's misunderstanding, Jihu is convinced that Zhaoling will be able to protect everyone he loves. Especially for Yoona, the person she loves, Zhaoling will certainly do anything to save his wife.

"We're going to the West! There's a group of us disguised as priests. Therefore, we must hurry before nightfall." said Jihu instructing. All that was left went with him to save himself to the place that Jihu had just said.

Zhaoling and his two shadow bodyguards had just arrived in Goa where masked robbers were hiding. However, the three of them were surprised because they were no longer there. Only firewood was left scattered in the land of Goa.

"Where did they go?" the confusion of the three was immediately answered after hearing the cries of some people who walked into Goa. Not just ten or twenty, but a hundred soldiers were walking in the footsteps of their leader who was already at the mouth of Goa.

"Come, let's find them inside!" shouted their leader and was followed directly by his troops.

Drap ... drape .. drape ...

Footsteps of heavily armed soldiers entered Goa where they are currently standing. Immediately, the three men hid behind the wall in the Goa area.

They immediately examined the entire Goa carefully, but still did not find the whereabouts of the masked robbers. Likewise with the existences of Zhaoling and Liu Wei, as well as Yu Xuan. They are invisible there.

"Prince, this place is empty. Looks like they already know that we're coming here" one soldier said.

Zhaohan growled in annoyance. His movements lost quickly to the robbers, thus giving them a loophole to escape. "Bad! They already know our plan, before we can catch him. General Jun, immediately send troops to the alternative routes that are usually passed. They must have intended to escape from this area" Zhaohan told his general.

General Jun nodded, then divided his troops into sections and sent them to alternate routes according to Zhaohan's orders.

"They must be exterminated, so that the Emperor believes that Zhaoling is behind all this." continued Zhaohan. He had no idea that the man he had scapegoated was now watching them in a corner of Goa without being seen by him.

While Zhaoling can only clench his hands, because he thinks this is not the time he acted. "You must get a punishment that is in accordance with what you have done, Zhaohan. I'll make sure you die in my hands" he said in his heart.

Zhaoling was furious when he learned from Liu Wei that General Hui, his loyal follower, had died at the hands of Zhaohan. The man also disguised himself as a masked robber and slandered himself so that Zhaoling's position was immediately revoked.

Not finding the whereabouts of the masked robbers and the clues in Goa, Zhaohan rushed to chase to the main route where all the people in and out of the nearest City. He was sure that they had not been gone long.

Likewise with Zhaoling and his two shadow guards. The three men sped up his movements to quickly find Mr. Khong Guan's group.

At the back gate of Sharimie City.

Seen several large boats lined the Pier. The boats will cross the Ocean to the border of Shotokoyah Land. Among the large boat there are several passengers with clothes covered like herbal medicine traders.

The current state of the pier is very crowded because many people will go to the border. A worker or a sword, there are also students who will go to the Academy there. They scramble to get on a boat that will leave soon.

Although many boats are lined up at this dock, but only once every one hour the boat will leave. Or, if the passengers have filled all the boats, then they will start sailing.

One boat could fit up to twenty-five people and that included the person who moved it. While the group of Mr. Khong left quite a lot, about sixty-three people. If riding that boat, they would have to divide into three groups for three boats. So, they immediately moved quickly so that part of the seat on the boat.

"Hey, don't push each other! We're all going to the border. So, be patient and orderly when riding a boat. If not, then I won't run this boat" said the boat's driver.

An hour of waiting is not a short time if we are in a hurry to leave. But, they all had to be patient to be able to board the boat in order to quickly leave for the border.

One by one the boat immediately departed because the number of passengers had met the maximum limit. The group of masked robbers had partly departed by the first boat, now it was the turn of the second boat to depart. There is a third boat, because the number of passengers is still lacking.

The group of masked robbers who were in the third boat were Jihu and Yoona. Since Lord Khong was their leader and who recognized the Priest at the Temple, He set out on the first boat.

They would immediately welcome the rest of the group and disguise them into the Temple so as not to be detected by the Royal forces.

Their hearts were already greatly relieved that they could leave this place immediately before the soldiers chased after him here. But, what's going on right now?

"Stop the boat!" a scream sounded from the ground.

Seen, a Royal troop with in the First Prince's commando was carrying a golden yellow badge. He stood by showing the token of the Emperor, to carry out his duties.

"What's this?" everyone who was on the boat became noisier and wondered the reason for the termination of their departure.

Armed troops quickly approached and told the boat driver to rewind the boat, so they could immediately check. Out of fear, he followed the words of the Royal army without asking much.

Seeing the Royal army heading towards him, Jihu and Yoona and the others became even more vigilant, in case they were discovered. With eyes staring at each other, they nodded while holding the weapons behind each other's clothes.
