RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 14: GO TO THE MINE

After explaining the reason for Wang Qian's appointment, the generals turned to each other and nodded their heads. This shows they understand the intention of King Wang Yu who wants to get rid of people who have been gnawing at him in the kingdom.

"Sorry Your Majesty, we don't yet know the purpose for which your Majesty sent Wang Qian." Wang Tan represented his friends apologizing.

"Sit down!"

"Your Majesty." All the Generals who had originally stood up out of anger at Wang Qian's appointment sat back down.

Someone suddenly advanced, he then whispered the king.

"Your Majesty, since Wang Qian has already left, it would be nice if someone were to watch her movements. We'll know what he's gonna do." Counselor Wang Lu provided input related to Wang Qian's departure.

"Good idea Wang Lu. Alright I'll pick 2 generals to watch over him." King Wang Hu then circulated his gaze to all the generals present.

"Wang Tan and Wang Guan."

"Ready Your Majesty."  The two appointed generals immediately stood up and bowed their bodies.

…

General Wang Qian who had obtained the mandate to bring back Wang Yong immediately rushed to call the 2 commanders who had been loyal to him, Commander Yu Ru and Commander Yu Jian. These 2 commanders were also commanders who were very dislikeful of Wang Hu's leadership as a king. Each of the commanders brought several elite troops that were under their control.

General Wang Qian along with his entire army immediately moved towards Luoyang City, they did not stop by first to Anhui Village because they had previously received information that they were moving from Anhui Village to Luoyang City and then to Harsi City. However General Wang Qian wanted to make sure that they were actually moving to Harsi City because he did not believe 100% in King Wang Hu who was a very hostile person.

Arriving at Luoyang City, General Wang Qian ordered Commander Yu Ru to investigate Wang Yong's whereabouts. Using the aura of Wang Yong who was slightly still left around the inn, Commander Yu Ru walked into the restaurant that was in the inn.

Commander Yu Ru then chose one of the tables for her to order a meal. Near him was a young man who was passionately telling stories. Commander Yu Ru was focused on listening to the story.

“That night I passed by I saw about a hundred people come to the inn, and it turned out that there was already a grandfather waiting for their arrival. After a while, the grandfather then left the inn towards a field not too far from the inn. The team also followed the departure of the grandfather.”

The young man paused his speech and then drank a little wine in front of him. Feeling that his throat was wet again the young man continued his story.

“Tak a long time ago, a little boy came out of the inn following them. As for me and the people who were inside the dining room kept quiet on the spot as it was impossible to follow them.”

“Basic coward!”

“You forgot who wet the bed when you saw the murder?”

“He he”

“He ha he ha only.”

"What about the return of the old man and the little boy?"

"Maybe don't interrupt people's stories!"

"Yes sorry"

"Some time after they left, there was a loud sound of fighting in the field. Of course we didn't get close, we just waited at the inn. And then there was a very loud explosion. Lucky we didn't follow them so we're still alive."

"In the middle of the night they both returned to the inn and early in the morning they left the inn."

"What about the men who followed Grandpa?"

"They all died under terrible circumstances. Surprisingly their bodies shrunk to small, dark black and their heads horned. Like people tell us they are a nation of demons.

"Where are the grandfathers and the little boy?"

"According to the information I heard, they headed towards the Sansian restaurant and then proceeded towards Harsi City."

"They're headed for Harsi City, I have to tell the General immediately." Commander Yu Ru immediately left the restaurant. He thought there was enough information. He wanted to immediately continue the journey in order to catch up with Wang Yong. Even though the food that had been ordered had not been served, he still left the restaurant.

Commander Yu Ru immediately left the restaurant and moved towards the resting place huh General Wang Qian and his entire army.

"Report General, I've got the information." Commander Yu Ru who had already reached the resting place of his troops immediately faced General Wang Qian. He immediately reported everything he knew about Wang Yong.

"Please report"

Then Commander Yu Ru began to report all the information she knew.

"It turns out Wang Hu didn't lie to me, good. Soon the chair will be my chair." Said General Wang Qian Slowly.

"Yu Jian's! Gather the entire army, we'll be on our way!" After hearing the full report from Commander Yu Jian, General Wang Qian's spirit grew bigger as it stayed a few more days would be able to catch up with his quarry.

After an hour of rest, they prepared to leave again.

"The whole team gathers!"

Not long after, the entire demon army had lined up neatly. They were part of an elite force that was already very well trained and boundless obedience. For elite forces, obedience to the leader is absolute.

“All teams, change your appearance to human form. We will soon continue our journey through Luoyang City." Commander Yu Jian gave the direction according to General Wang Qian's orders.

"Our ayoo is leaving!" The whole army continued its journey. They passed through Luoyang City smoothly.

After passing through several villages and forests finally their distance got closer to Grandpa Han Yu.

"General, with our speed, we should be close to our quarry." Commander Yu Jian asked General Wang Qian for his opinion. Actually he wanted to rest first since it had been several days without any break moving day and night chasing after their quarry which was also their young master in the demon kingdom.

"True, that's why let's continue our journey. I haven't felt the aura of Wang Yong or any strong person around here."

"General, if it's not wrong near here there is a pretty famous eatery. How about we stop there first to find information." Yu Jian lobbied General Wang Qian to take a short break on the grounds of seeking information.

"We must go after them immediately. Otherwise they'll run away and far away leave us." General Wang Qian did not want his quarry to escape. With his strength in the realm of the celestial swordsman now, he had not felt tired even though it had been several days on the journey without rest.

"Sorry Mr. General, I think we better ascertain their direction than to directly pursue them. We have to make sure the path we're going through right now is what they're going through." Commander Yu Jian continued to try to lobby. He wanted to restore the stamina that had been drained during the trip.
