The Eastern Continent Swordsman

CH. 76 – Caihong Government Special Note

Inside the Chrysanthemum Flower Fortress, there were at least about ten thousand troops from the Northern River Sect. A Sect that was once the subject of black group banter in Jinwei district because its three members never returned after successfully capturing Shen Shen around Youhi island. Having no face in the Jinwei district, the North River sect migrated from the Jinwei district to the border region and captured the Chrysanthemum Flower Fort from the Caihong military.

The arrival of Feng Yaoshan's entourage in their territory would certainly be put to the best use by them. As they knew before, nobles always carried a lot of treasures. Let alone first-class nobles, they had often robbed nobles without titles, and although not titled, the nobles of Caihong were in fact all wealthy.

“They came with only one bodyguard that was riding black! They must have lost a lot of troops on the way. It will be so easy!” muttered a black-toothed person who had previously answered Feng Yaoshan's orders.

“Young master! Please enter, the door of the fort has opened!” he muttered again, this time in a voice loud enough for his prospective prey to hear instructions from him.

“Good, we'll be in!” Feng Yaoshan returned to his position, driving the carriage to enter the Chrysanthemum Flower fortress. Likewise with Zhou Fu, at that time he wore a mask so that his colleagues were not too worried because the skin on his face was pale like a corpse.

Slowly, the train entered the Chrysanthemum Flower fortress. Zhou Fu's horse accompanied right beside Feng Yaoshan's carriage. Inside the fort, Feng Yaoshan and Zhou Fu saw hundreds of archer soldiers who had prepared at the top of the fort. Under him, there were hundreds more soldiers who seemed to have been in a standby position.

Feng Yaoshan smiled at the hundreds of soldiers who greeted him, a heartwarming welcome he said. He felt like he was a hero who had just returned from war.

“Wah, thank you for this warm welcome.” Feng Yaoshan smiled proudly.

“Basic nobleman fool!” Zhou Fu cursed, but his curse barely made a sound. His vision said otherwise, the troops were not welcoming them, but were preparing to finish them off in one strike.

Zhou Fu looked back. Sure enough, the gate was closed in a great hurry and the archer troops had prepared with their respective bows.

“Yang Zi, save Shen Shen from here! This place is not...” chirped Zhou Fu but again he did not hear his own voice. Either his ears are impaired or his throat is damaged which is clearly like a loss of voice.

A few seconds later, Zhou Fu discovered that his chest had been pierced by three arrows. His gaze started to blur, he vaguely saw Feng Yaoshan along with Yang Zi struggling to fend off the incoming attacks. After that, everything was dark.

Zhou Fu heard the sound of a rock being smashed into the rock. The sound was quite disturbing to his ears. After a while just shifting his sleeping position, he only realized if he was on the battlefield. He got up and opened his eyes which still felt quite heavy.

Unfortunately, what was before his eyes was not a battleground but rather a gray black ceiling. He started to panic because he was supposed to be on the battlefield with his other friends.

“Oh, Young Master is awake?” someone murmured while throwing a small smile, that person had created a noise that irritated Zhou Fu's ears.

Zhou Fu turned his head towards the direction the voice came from, he was shocked, of course. Zhou Fu then stomped his forehead, trying to find out if it was just an event in the dreamland or an event that occurred in the real world.

“Tabib Wu Quibai? Am I really in Malam village?” Zhou Fu asked for an explanation to the old physician who was now walking towards him.

“True, Young Master. Yuan Jin who brought you here,” he replied briefly.

“Then??? My pals? How's them?” Zhou Fu asked impatiently.

“Quiet, they are all safe. If you meet later, thank Yuan Jin. He helped many of Young Master's friends,” said healer Wu as he handed Zhou Fu a glass of potion, asking the young man to down the medicinal herb.

After downing the potion given by the healer Wu, Zhou Fu's mouth was already in a ready position to raise a few questions to the healer Wu Quibai. Unfortunately, healer Wu gestured to Zhou Fu for the young man to keep his mouth shut.

“Young Master, return to the origin of Young Master. Go back to Young Master's teacher. The Young Master's Science is still quite raw. This is very dangerous if it is continued,” said healer Wu Quibai as he gripped Zhou Fu's arm, pressed a few points of urate in his hand and made Zhou Fu stir in pain.

“Mentah?” Zhou Fu frowned, not quite understanding of the words of physician Wu Quibai.

“I will not go home before making sure my friends return to Caihong safely. Fuck the science that is still weak, after all I am still unbeaten!” zhou Fu growled as he got out of bed. He was about to leave, but then remembered that he did not know which way to go.

“Young Master wants to pick up young master's friends?” healer Wu Quibai was not at all surprised to see the stubbornness of Zhou Fu, even though he still needed rest, in fact the young man had been determined to leave to ensure the safety of his friends. That attitude, was exactly the same as Patriarch Yuan Kai. Physician Wu Quibai looked back at young Patriarch Yuan Kai.

“Yes. I'll pick them up. Even if the healer doesn't tell me where they are, I will find out with my own abilities!” zhou Fu replied with anger, thinking, no one should separate him from his group of friends.

“They are waiting for the young master in the Peach Flower settlement. It was the closest settlement to the gate of Maundo.” Physician Wu Quibai answered kindly.

“How long will it take to get there?” Zhou Fu asked again because he was not familiar with the land of Caihong.

“Three days. Maybe Young Master can take it within two days.”

“Three days??!! How long have I been in Malam village?”

“Three days three nights, Mr.”

“What??? What if something happens to my friends? Physician, isn't it very dangerous to let them separate from me?”

“Quiet, Sir. No one will be able to harm them. They are with the right people. Even if now the Young Master chooses to return home without going to the Peach Flower settlement, the young master's friends will remain safe at least until the gate of Maundo.”

Zhou Fu frowned again, not understanding the words of physician Wu Quibai. Finally healer Wu Quibai explained that Patriarch Yuan Kai himself intervened to accompany Feng Yaoshan's entourage. Physician Wu said that even Patriarch Yuan Kai could still defeat ten warriors equal to Wei Sihao despite his crippling state.

“He was willing to leave the Night village for the first time, in order to save the friends of the young master. And for the sake of persuading the young master to return home to where the young master came from. It seems that Patriarch Yuan is so worried about the situation of the young master that he wants to replace the position of escorting the nobles as his responsibility,” explained healer Wu Quibai who increasingly made Zhou Fu's forehead wrinkle.

“Whatever it is, I will not go home before dropping off my friends to Maundo!”

“Yes, I have also already given a message to Patriarch Yuan Kai if I might fail to force the young master to go home. That was why, Patriarch Yuan Kai was willing to wait for the young master in the Peach Flower settlement. After four days from today, if the young master still did not meet them there, then Patriarch Yuan Kai assumed the Young Master had returned home.”

“Good! I will arrive at Peach Flower settlement within one day!” chirps Zhou Fu while strengthening the ropes of his clothes. Closing his wounds, and removing the bandages of wounds coiled around his head.

“Oh, how could this child inherit the nature and power of Patriarch Yuan Kai!” Physician Wu Quibai smiled kindly. As he loved Patriarch Yuan Kai so much, he also began to feel affection for the stubborn young man named Zhou Fu.

“Oh yes, what about the enemies in the Chrysanthemum Flower fortress?” Zhou Fu asked again before he actually left the residence of physician Wu Quibai.

“Sekte North River? Oh, don't worry about it, Young Master's female friend turned out to be quite talented. Besides being good at cooking, it turns out he is also good at bulldozing enemies!” mumbling healer Wu Quibai was full of pride at Yang Zi.

“Ah, the child is indeed reliable!” chirping Zhou Fu as his lips revealed a smile.

Inside the giant wall, several special soldiers had made reports about the death of the swordsman Wei Sihao who was reportedly so quickly spread around the world. The news of Wei Sihao's death received more attention from the central Caihong government because it meant that there were powerful new warriors who had not yet entered their list of records.

A special note containing the lists of warriors who would be destroyed from the face of the earth if they got the chance. On the list, Zhou Fu's grandfather's name was also written. Several Bingdao warriors belonging to the Five and Six Forces were also written there. It was only a matter of time for them to find out who had finished off the Wei Sihao swordsman on the border of the Judah river.
