The Legend of Zhu San
045: Blood Oath
“Defender Zheng, General Duan Li asked to see you soon, something very important happened.”
The centurion soldier who was General Duan Li's direct subordinate, said after Zheng An met him outside the room.
“Good ... wait a minute.” Zheng An immediately entered the room and asked Fu Kuan and the others to wait for him to return.
After that Zheng An was with those officer soldiers, immediately leaving the building where Fu Kuan and the others were still inside.
“Ling’er ... What do you want to say?” Zhu San immediately went back to asking Liu Ling after seeing Master Zheng An pass from the place.
“San Gege .. Will you be my Raised Brother and do the blood oath together?”
“What!!”
Everyone was shocked by what they had just heard. Qin Yu's face immediately returned to beaming at this.
Although his heart was happy to hear Liu Ling's words, Qin Rui still looked at him with a mind filled with questions.
Likewise with Lin Kai and Fu Kuan, Liu Ling's next words explained what happened.
“San Gege .. My teacher will stop at nothing to set us up for the future, while there has been someone else who pulled my heart.”
Liu Ling let out a long sigh, He then explained further.
“San Gege .. With the two of us being sworn brothers and performing the blood oath, Master will stop setting us up. Is San Gege willing to be my Raised Brother?”
Zhu San who was still shocked, fell silent and tried to digest the situation that happened beyond his expectations.
Seeing that the young man was silent, sadness possessed Liu Ling, making his eyes become teary.
In addition to avoiding matchmaking from his teacher, Liu Ling, who did not have the older brother, judged Zhu San as the right figure to be an older brother to him.
Of course it was the second reason, the main reason He had revealed to Zhu San and all those present in the room.
“Alright Ling’er .. I also do not have a sister, there is no harm in having you as my sister.”
Zhu San's words instantly made Liu Ling's face become cheerful again.
“Thank you San Gege .. wait a minute, I'll take all for us to do that blood oath.”
Without waiting for Zhu San's reply, Lu Ling immediately darted out of the room with a face so elated that it would have a great Big Brother.
An Big Brother who is the Disciple of the number one Hero of the White Stream in the Martial Empire Liu World.
The atmosphere became awkward after Liu Ling left that place. Lin Kai who couldn't stand such an atmosphere immediately made a sound.
“Tua Bangka Keriput .. Do you not want to apply Yu’er for our student?”
Lin Kai's words, instantly made Qin Yu's face glow red and bowed with an erratic thumping heart.
“Second Teacher ... What does Teacher say? We are too young to talk about such a thing.”
When Lin Kai wanted to answer Zhu San's words, Lu Ling had brought back two incense sticks and a small bowl.
After dripping their blood in the small bowl, Zhu San and Liu Ling lit incense in their hands.
“God of Heaven and Earth, I am Zhu San, vow that from this day on Liu Ling be my younger brother. The problem is my problem, the difficulty is my difficulty, the happiness is my happiness. May the heavens and the Earth grant me this wish.”
After saying so, Zhu San immediately moved his hand three times in a row.
After that he stuck the incense near the bowl where his blood and Liu Ling were and had fused.
Liu Ling said the same word and did the same after he finished his vow.
Right at that moment Zheng An returned to the room. What he saw then, made the worry on his face quite a bit less.
Fu Kuan who saw Zheng An's face change, furrowed his brows. His premonition was saying something bad had happened.
“Ling’er are you sure of what you're doing. You've given up a golden opportunity in your life. But if that is indeed your decision, Master will accept it.”
Although disappointed because he failed to respond to his best friend, at least Zeng An felt their friendship became even tighter.
“No Teacher .. I will not regret it I promised my heart and also to Master.”
Zheng An smiled and he believed Liu Ling's decision. Her disciple was not a foolish girl and He had known about it since Liu Ling was a child.
“Alright If so .. Tua Bangka Fu, Sister Qin Rui and Also Masked Brother there is something else I want to say.”
Zheng An was silent for a moment, then he said that General Duan Li who was the commander of imperial intelligence had obtained a shocking fact.
This fact was about the Golden Spear Sect which was a neutral flow sect. This information said that the sect had cooperated with the black flow.
Reports from the spies said that earlier this morning, several groups of black warriors who were in the inn around the branch headquarters building of the sect had moved in small groups.
They disguised themselves as merchants and their guards, came out from four different gates.
There were at least two groups coming out from the four city gates. That way there have been eight groups that are now moving towards the four winds.
Zheng An also said that general Duan Li, through Chairman Chen Hu had given a secret letter to all the Sect Chiefs present in the tournament, except for the Golden Spear Sect Chief.
In the letter, General Duan Li asked to meet briefly to convey the matter, in order for them to be careful on the way back to their respective Sects.
“In addition, this meeting is also to talk about the continuation of the formation of the White and Neutral Flow Alliance that was discussed last night.”
Zheng An went on to say that since three years ago, the Emperor had been informed of the coup plot by several great nobles who were cooperating with the warriors from the black school.
But it has not found any solid evidence to date, so the Emperor cannot crack down on those suspected of carrying out the coup.
“Currently many reports are coming in from all seven major cities and several other small towns about the increasing crime taking place in their region. “
Zheng An concluded his explanation, He looked at Fu Kuan to ask his friend's opinion about the problem.
Fu Kuan stroked his beard with a frowned. What Zheng An had just told him He knew from his friend the Thousand Faces God.
As he was about to answer, they were all startled by the light movement on the roof of the building and before long heard, the sound of feet tracing on the ground right in front of the door of the room.
