The Legend of Zhu San
228: To Sinzhu City
One week after the attack of the three old heroes passed, Zhu San was seen chatting with Ju Yan who had now become the Qing Emperor. The two conversed inside Ju Yan's private room.
“Don't call me that again, Brother San. I heard that Uncle Hung and Aunt Ji will be coming with you to Shinzu City. Really it?” Ju Yan looked annoyed at hearing His Majesty's mention of Zhu San every time they met.
“True, Father and Mother-in-law want to meet with Father and Mother. I think that's the thing they want the most.” Zhu San replied then vertical arak of high quality in front of him.
“I will assign fifty Elite warriors of the Palace to escort him. Although it was actually unnecessary, considering that He was with you, Imperial Champion Liu. At least they can take care of the Horse Train.”
Ju Yan smiled as he said so. His little heart was a little envious of Zhu San who was currently so well known in the Qing Empire because of his lunge which had always helped the Empire in overcoming problems.
Zhu San's name became a hot topic of conversation by warriors in the Qing empire as far as the Wei Empire. Many could not believe that Jin Fang and Mou Chang could be defeated by someone who was still young.
But reality is still reality, a fact that cannot be denied by the mind though. The deaths of the two became a breath of fresh air for the white Flow warriors in both Empires.
“Yan Gege, I want to ask you about the White Cloud Mountain in Jian Empire, Have you ever been there?” Zhu San expressed his intention of meeting Ju Yan.
Ju Yan was surprised to find out Zhu San found out about the White Cloud Mountain.”White Cloud Mountain? How do you know the name of the mountain that holds the mystery?
Zhu San smiled wryly, He who asked even now He who was asked back. He then explained about the demand for a voice without trial which is the owner of the Magic Wand.
“White Cloud Mountain is located to the north of the Jian Empire. No one has ever reached the top. They always hear voices from all directions telling them to come back.”
Ju Yan then continued his explanation after sighing. That those who tried to force it up, ended up in a bad state even though it was a high-level swordsman.
They will be attacked by something visible. Many who broke their arms or legs, even those who still forced their way up were eventually killed.
“The cup is an immortal human figure at the Peak of White Cloud Mountain who has very high abilities. Many people think that at the top of the White Cloud Mountain resides a God. Turns out a grandfather who didn't die.”
Ju Yan chuckled, while Zhu San's forehead wrinkled in surprise. “Eternal Man? Why did Yan Gege say that?”
“Because the sound was there five hundred years ago, maybe even more. If it was not a god, it meant that the elder was an immortal. Isn't that right?” asked Ju Yan.
Zhu San nodded his head several times, confirming Ju Yan's words. His heart was pounding because he had heard of the ability of someone who could live eternally from Long Niu's teacher.
****
The day of Zhu San's departure and the others arrived. It looks like three big and luxurious trains are ready to go.
Fifty elite soldiers dressed as ordinary people, had been on their saddles, waiting for orders. Just like the three luxury horse-drawn carriages.
Zhu San, Bian Chi and his parents were in the same carriage. While Lu Fang, Shadow Semu as well as the Commander of the Army in the other carriage which also contained their supplies.
It looks Zhu San is being hugged by Emperor Ju Yan while Bian Chi is being hugged by Empress Qin Yu “Hurry to have a baby, so they can play together after the big later.”
Qin Yu's words while stroking his stomach which began to look bloated, made Bian Chi's face flushed red. Zhu San pretended not to hear that.
The two immediately boarded the luxurious horse carriage and waved, as the carriage began to move leaving the Qing Imperial Palace complex.
The group, through the fastest route that has rarely been passed, because of the many robberies through the route. Zhu San deliberately took the route, hoping to meet up to eradicate them all.
The journey on the first and second days was safe and peaceful, as were the third and fourth days. But on the fifth day, more than a hundred people stopped their train.
“Stop! Get out of the car!” A person of great stature snapped very loudly. His voice echoed in the forest that was overgrown with big trees.
Zhu San immediately threw the Yang Sword into the air, then the screams of death began to sound as the Sword darted out slaughtering the robbers until none of them escaped.
The journey continued after their bodies were dumped into the ravine by the soldiers who were amazed to see the slaughterer.
They were even more amazed at Zhu San who came out of the carriage to grab the blood-soaked sword. After clearing it, Zhu Sa put the sword back into his soul ring.
The journey in the next two days was not met with obstacles. On the eighth day they were again confronted by a band of robbers who numbered less than a hundred.
Zhu San slaughtered them again, He left no one to live. He did it so that there would be no problems in front of him later.
The journey resumed after being delayed for almost a day. It was because they did not find a ravine to bury the corpses of the robbers.
On the sixteenth day they finally arrived at the Liu imperial territory. And after one day of travel, that afternoon they had been at the gate of Shinzu City.
As Zhu San got off the horse carriage to ask for permission to enter, the entire army immediately kneeled in salute, they immediately opened the city gates.
“Beautiful city! Very fast progress of this city and a lot of changes that occurred from the last time I visited it.” Shi Hung said to Bian Chi.
“When did Dad last visit this City?” bian Chi asked as their horse carriage drew closer to the House of Nobles Zhu Han.
“About twenty to thirty years ago.” Bian Chi's father chuckled after saying so. Bian Chi looked scowled, because in that long time, there must have been a lot of changes.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the noble Zhu Han's residence, Zhu San immediately got off the carriage. The soldiers guarding the gate, immediately kneeling one of them shouted.
“Young Master Zhu San has returned!”
