The Bloody General Sword

The Eps 37

"I didn't expect, that you knew the masked soldier was me, vice-captain Cheon?" Renzai said with a sly smile.

"I guessed it, your sword skills are great as well as your skills in archery." Her speech. He stood clumsy not far from Renzai.

"Vice captain. I'm sure you know what you're supposed to do." Renzai said, he raised his index finger on his lips.

"Close your mouth the best way, vice-captain Cheon. I don't want my name mentioned later, none of this has anything to do with me, you understand."

Vice-captain Cheon simply gulped his saliva, while listening to Renzai's threat.

"Good."

☘️

"RENZAI." The voice sounded really panicked, he surrounded the fortress and the field where the soldiers gathered to look for his daughter, healer Jang was behind him helping the General look for his daughter.

"Dad."

The voice sounded from behind. General Geem turned around as well with healer Jang.

"Ranzai." General Geem said when he saw Renzai walking towards him, this time renzai was already wearing his own clothes after taking off the soldier's clothes.

The general then approached his daughter and hugged her.

"Ranzai. You've been everywhere, since I was looking for you" General Geem said worriedly.

"I'm doing fine. I only briefly went into the forest to pick up medicinal plants." His eyes glanced at the healer who looked doubtful with his words.

"Dad will talk to the crown prince, so that as soon as you are returned to Hanjang, here is very dangerous, the enemy can attack at any time."

Renzai disagreed with his father. He looked at his father with a real face. "I was ordered to this place to accept my punishment, father. Doesn't shirking punishment smear our family's big name. I will finish my sentence and return with Father to Hangjang, let alone my sentence of staying another week, it will not be long, after all as long as I serve the sentence, anyway, a lot of valuable lessons I've learned here, Dad."

The father breathed. "Well, if that's what you want, then we'll go back to the border, we'll leave this fort right now, it's not safe, any time the enemy can attack from any direction."

"Good Dad."

They rode horses together towards the border, General Geem noticed his daughter from earlier, his gaze was straight forward and looked cold, a smile very rarely seen on his face.

General Geem shook his head. Her daughter was fine, there was nothing strange about her attitude. He then nodded with certainty.

"Renzai, when you arrive at the border, you must meet with his highness the crown prince and apologize to the prince, even though you have carried out your punishment but you must still apologize to him, you have to show that you're sincerely apologizing, you understand?" Say the Father.

Renzai took pains to hold himself back from snorting, his teeth bully strongly and answered him.

"Good Dad."

***

General Geem's group arrived at the border, they arrived safely, there was no attack of enemy forces. General Geem then looked at his daughter.

"Renzai, go back to your room and rest, I'll meet your highness the prince."

"Good Dad."

Renzai walked over and was about to return to his room, the footsteps behind him, so Renzai turned around and looked at the healer Jang.

"Well, what lessons can you learn in a place like this? here only war and death await the soldiers, as well as the other healers and nurses." He spread his hands mocking Renzai's words. He just stared at the healer and ignoring her, Renzai continued walking quickly.

"Lee Renzai, where are you going? Didn't the General tell you to rest? Shouted healer Jang on purpose for General Geem to hear. Renzai was bluffing his teeth while continuing to walk.

"One day, that silly healer will die at my hands." Mumbled. His footsteps came to a halt when he saw four men standing before him.

"You're always everywhere." Renzai looked at the five Akai who were blocking his path. Before they spoke, Renzai had jumped by passing the five of them with his agility, the five Akai of course had come running after Renzai.

"General." Rui said, her voice sounding hurt.

Renzai's eyes made the five Akai speechless.

Hatachi nudged Tutsima's arm. "Say something, are we just staying here? The atmosphere will be awkward."

Those eyes instantly turned red, an evil smile splattered on his face.

Akai, to whom will you give your loyalty?

(In the Ochtosk royal language).

Our loyalty and our lives, we will give to General Kimi Ga.

The Akai uttered in unison.

My body has not yet fully risen, you remain on guard, the prince of Himagasih is here, if the time is right, I will finish him off and seize the throne of Juseon Kingdom, my sword is already very thirsty for blood.

The fifth face of Akai looked pale, without saying anything more, Renzai left them and entered his room.

***

From the west side was the crown prince's residence tent, he was just about to come out of the tent, when General Geem had stood before him.

"Welcome General Geem, how? has your daughter been found?"

"Hamba has found him, prince. Now that he was resting, his body was weak after riding. Servant will bring him before you after he's ready."

The prince had since been staring from a distance at a man peering over the wall, he gestured to his eunuch and whispered something to him.

"Good prince." The eunuch then went and met the healer Jang, he was the one who had been stealing from behind the wall.

"Bring your daughter before me, I want to hear for myself what she thinks of the punishment I've given her."

"Good prince."

***

Hatachi was sitting on the stone floor, he was seen pondering, as well as the other Akai.

"General has not changed at all, he is still the same as before, bloodthirsty. If such a general, it would have been no different from decades ago, he would have reverted to a froth, and it would have kept repeating itself, a fate that kept turning." Otaru said sadly.

"What should we do? You've heard what the general wants." Tutsima looked at them.

"We will remain faithful, of course, as the general's Akai, we should follow all his precepts, but as friends of the past, we must save him, his soul is tainted with blood, he said, the general's sword is like a part of his soul, it will not be separated, as long as the general holds his sword, then the vicious circle will never be cut off, it will keep repeating." Rui.

"What should we do? preventing him from fighting? Or find a way to seal general kimi ga, and he'll never rise from Renzai's body." Hatachi.

"Stupid, if that happens, then the five of us will be petrified again, you want?" Said matsue while grunting.

"That will not be possible, little by little the General has mastered the mind of his present, then when that happens, there is nothing we can do but obey the General."

Inside the small room, Renzai was lying down resting his body suddenly a terrifying smile was seen from the corner of his lips.

Akai, it won't happen, you won't be able to seal me.

***

The atmosphere in the tent was quite quiet, only a few soldiers who were there were on guard, the footsteps of shoes sounded.

"Crown prince, I brought the man who had been hiding behind the wall this afternoon." Said the eunuch.

"Bring him in."

Two eunuchs holding a man who was none other than Physician Jang, he was brought before the prince.

Physician Jang bowed obediently, even so, he did not look frightened even a smile from his face.

"Why are you looking down like that Kim Seo jang?" Prince.

The two eunuchs retreated slowly and exited the tent. "For so long not meeting Seo Jang, what makes you survive as a healer out there and leave the palace for so long."

Physician Jang now raised his head, he then sat down casually in front of the prince. "You know for yourself, I'd rather live outside the palace than inside the palace, mother will continue to terrorize me continuously so that I re-occupy my position as the third prince." Her speech.

"Since childhood, you know for yourself that I've been interested in the world of medicine, compared to the affairs of the state. I will be restrained and suffer life if I am kept away from my conversion." Speak to physician Jang.

"Don't worry, it looks like your mother has given up, she once told me that she is more concerned with your happiness, compared to anything."

Physician Jang snorted. "And you believe my mother's words? I know him better than anyone, I've tried to persuade him to drop his desire to make me a candidate for crown prince, but mother will never give up." Said healer Jang while shaking his head.

"Drink, you just arrived from a long trip with General Geem and his daughter."

A voice of piety sounded from physician Jang. He gave her a curvy smile. "I heard he was punished and brought here because he ran away from the selection of the crown princess, is that true?"

"Tsk, as you have heard, the King's majesty has decreed his sentence, and they say by my command, as if I really wanted it." Said the prince while shaking his head.

"Aha, perhaps his Highness the King wants one of General Geem's daughters to be his son-in-law."

"Don't joke, I've never even seen her face clearly." Her speech.

"really? Daebak." He said while laughing.

"There's something more important than that. What are you doing hiding behind a wall? Who are you peeping on?"

Physician Jang then recalled the strange conversation between Renzai and the five men earlier this afternoon.

"Ah, I remember. Have you heard of Akai? I was listening to a conversation between five men and General Geem's daughter. The five of them looked strange, they also seemed to follow Miss Renzai at all times." Speak to physician Jang.
