The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 351 - Border Line
The border line was noticeably more crowded, the freight horses controlling almost half the way. Debate between traders and buyers makes the atmosphere crowded. Many times it sounded a long speech on the road.
Xin Chen almost nudged the man who was shouting loudly. He was yelling at the freight carrier to hurry. Finally he arrived at the high border gate and was marked with the flag of the Qing Empire.
All the places were heavily guarded, Xin Chen to the point of suspecting that the Qing Empire was actually an excess of warriors thus placing workers with unreasonable numbers all over the Empire. Out of nowhere they get money to build an empire, even though paying soldiers as much as it costs a lot of money.
Xin Chen entered the fortress secretly, disappeared from that place and entered the territory of the Shang Empire. Some of the pillars built to delimit the territory have collapsed without ever being repaired. Entering the territory of the Shang Empire, Xin Chen only saw a few guards sitting in one post. They looked more relaxed than the warriors in the Qing Empire.
No one saw Xin Chen enter the forest area. In that place there are some ruins that have been covered by moss. Xin Chen sat there, lighting a fire as the day began to turn night. There were only the sounds of animals and birds in the dark and desolate forest. Every now and then the earthy rumble over him, the gale blew slowly.
The bonfire in front of Xin Chen twitched in the wind, while the young man was still sitting there. Right as expected. Someone will come. He was alone there, visibly injured and with a serious injury to his wrist.
"Chen ...?"
Xin Chen raised his face, Xin Zhan was able to see that pair of bright blue-colored eyes were currently shining towards him. He retreated and immediately pulled out a alert weapon.
"I'm not your enemy."
When she heard that voice, Xin Zhan was able to recognize her. It seemed like just this time Xin Zhan saw those eyes, reminding him of the flames of immortality that destroyed Renwu City.
"You-you"
"Did you find any traces of him?"
Xin Zhan sat immediately by the campfire, his gaze grim while his face was bent down. His sister simply clenched her hands and punched the ground in annoyance.
"They brought a mother's run to this Empire. They knew the only place I was difficult to reach was the Qing Empire. All my soldiers and subordinates were killed during the pursuit."
Now Xin Chen knew why Xin Zhan had sent her a letter. He was so desperate he didn't know who to turn to for help.
"You know who I'm inside of?"
"Someone with blue hair. He's a freak who was also detained at the border a few days ago. He said you were there. I can't actually trust him ... But he's not lying."
Xin Zhan looked confused. His mind was filled with anxiety and concern for his mother's safety.
"Damn, I promised you I'd take care of you."
"We're both incompetent losers."
Xin Zhan turned towards her who was no different in panic from himself.
"Scoffing yourself?" ask Xin Zhan.
"Scoff you guys."
Compared to the previous days Xin Zhan now felt calmer. Not once was his life threatened in this forest. Several warriors and warriors descended to kill him. Xin Zhan was severely injured and only relied on medicinal herbs in the forest to heal his injuries.
"This seems to be what my father said that day."
His father once said. There comes a time when both of them have to fight alone. For the sake of something that had been fated on their shoulders. Trust, peace, safety and justice in their land. Xin Zhan started to think about it and only realized that the task that was placed on them was something big.
Suddenly Xin Chen patted his brother on the shoulder. "It feels heavy here?"
"No. I can bear it. But what I can't guarantee is that if I don't before Dad comes back. Who will guard this Empire? Those rotten people? They will definitely sacrifice their people to save their own lives."
"It seems like I should also follow your spirit," said little Xin Chen. Xin Zhan sneered.
"You won't be able to follow this spirit. Just told to rehearse it's half dead."
Xin Chen was so reminded of his past. Indeed among all the disciples in the White Fog Valley himself were the most lazy to practice swords.
"The most excited to despair and sent a letter to the lazy person asking for help. It doesn't make sense."
Sounding annoyed next to him, Xin Zhan was no longer willing to reply to the ridicule of his sister who did like to answer that. It was quiet for a few moments.
"Do you have a way to get inside?"
"I just got out of the Qing Empire."
"Ck, this kid. Don't provoke my anger."
"You're threatening me?"
Xin Zhan was eager to scratch his sister's face. For the sake of avoiding insignificant infighting he immediately said clearly. "I can't go in there. If you could just."
"The dawn's coming. They will take turns to keep watch. At that moment we could move."
There was still a few hours left, Ye Long turned himself up. He immediately ate the bonfire mercilessly.
"This greedy lizard. If you turn off the fire, there'll be one person cold in here."
"Well?" Ye Long who was biting the fiery wood was made dumbfounded. He realized someone was sitting next to Xin Chen with a hostile face.
"Magazine is good at splitting herself apparently. Great as well."
Ye Long moved in search of prey around the forest.
"We met a while ago. You don't remember me?" Xin Zhan made a sound, making Ye Long turn his head. He turned towards Xin Chen. "And stop calling me a cold person."
Ye Long had just remembered the person he met in Fanlu City. He just doesn't remember his face. He was precisely reminded of Xin Chen's image in the sand. There was one person who was almost the same height as Xin Chen.
"You brothers?"
Xin Zhan said. The dragon took some wood from the forest and burned it in the middle of Xin Chen and Xin Zhan. He sat around the campfire.
They were busy talking until the time came. Xin Chen immediately stood up followed by Ye Long and Xin Zhan. His brother did not explain where they were going to come from. And Xin Zhan had only just understood why Ye Long had brought herself up.
