BLOOD IN THE MORNING

the sun had begun to shine on the rows of buildings located in the imperial capital, all the inhabitants had started their activities since the sun had not started to show itself.

it was seen in the ranks of people who had started to fill the roads, moving towards the place where the imperial competition would take place which was an event where young cultivators could seek experience.

as well as the knowledge to increase their insight when fighting, because it has become an open secret how the life of a cultivator who is filled with fighting is either a fellow human, or a fellow human being, beasts or even other races that were in those realms.

before long it was seen the man wearing warrior clothes was spurring his horse while shouting to ask people to give him a way.

many people were almost hit by him but he ignored all the complaints of people - people he passed, before how long he stopped in front of a residence that was quite impressive.

after Descending from the horse quickly walked into the gate of the residence, a guard was seen trying to stop him, the figure of the man in custody took out a plaque from inside his shirt made of platinum with a picture of a lion in the middle.

the guard looked surprised before he then drove the figure to meet the owner of the residence, on the way seen some people passing by.

during the trip the two found gazes from other residents of the residence looking at them with curious gazes and surprised gazes but both ignored and focused towards their destination.

shortly after the two arrived in a hall where a man aged between 35 and 40 was sitting with a cup of tea, the guard asked the soldier-dressed man to wait outside.

the owner of the residence glanced at the guard who walked up to him and then put his glass after that he looked at the guard Directly stopped and stood a few steps from his old figure and then saluted while leaning his body forward

" my master Hong wants to meet master !!" he said he then stood up again, the middle-aged man looked confused by it because his bottom had come even before work time began.

" thank you and please let him in "ask.

" well my lord" after that the figure of the guard came out and told the soldier-dressed figure that his parents asked him to enter quickly the man in the soldier's shirt entered.

as soon as he entered the owner of the residence asked him to sit down and accompany him to drink tea with him.

" excuse me, Mr. Lao, but I must refuse your hospitality, there is an urgent matter that I must tell you !!" he said a little hasty.

" be calm, Mr. Hong, ahh then please tell me what important thing that can make one of the best guards of the empire become like this "prince and then drink a cup of tea calmly.

" mister there has been a massacre at Huang's drugstore, this is ter..". "his words stopped because he saw his boss was surprised while spilling tea from his mouth." sir are you good .." he said with a worried face.

" what did you say just now ??" he said as he rubbed his mouth with his sleeve quickly the subordinate repeated his sentence.

" is that not the other one ??" snaps .

" ahhh the massacre at the drugstore owned by Huang "he answered tampa thinking.

" quickly explain what it all means !!" his orders then stood up from his chair.

then the subordinate began to explain all the chronology of the contents of the report while following his superior out of the room.All the way Mr. Lao was surprised and continued to be surprised and then after hearing the last part of his face grew even more shocked.

" where's your horse ??" tanyakanya.

" eh yes sir ?? ahh there "he said as he pointed towards the brown horse tied at the side.

seeing that quickly Mr. Lao approached the horse and then removed the ties from the wood that was provided to place the horses of the guests who came to visit.

mr. Lao then rode the horse seeing what his boss did Hong su became confused.

" mister is my horse ?!" said it.

" he I know "he said as he pulled the reins from the horse to the right to bend the direction of the horse.

" my lord trus how is it ??" he said confused hearing that Mr. Lao was wasting his breath.

" haaa this is what caused you not to rise to the rank of !! " then he began to drive the brown horse left the soldier who was still confused either because of circumstances or because of the speech of his superiors.

** Skip **

it was not long before Lao meng had arrived at the place where Hong su was referring to under him, looks so many people who are now crowded around the place did not think long he then began to break through the crowd.

once he arrived at the front row he closed his nose as a result of the smell of blood coming out of the location, seen a man carrying a spear was guarding the place while wearing a cloth as a mask.

he immediately approached the guard and showed his gold-colored token, the soldier recognized the token and saluted.

" please take me to the officer in charge here !!" his orders to the guard soldiers.

" please sir, this way "he said as he raised his right hand to show the direction and walked "but before entering please put this on !!" he said while giving a piece of cloth.

Lao meng took the cloth and wore it together after he entered he was surprised by the place that looks like an alley that is commonly used as a place to pass by buyers or visitors.

the ones on the right and on the left are filled with shops - shops with dried blood stains scattered as far as the eye can see.

his eyes widened as a result of being surprised by what he saw at the same time with that feeling of nausea approaching him but he managed to resist the nausea after winning himself. the soldier who was in front looked at him with a look of understanding of the reaction shown by master Hong su.

even according to the soldier, the attitude of master Hong Su was calmer because the first time the soldiers reached the place there were many who were nauseous and there were also stings due to being surprised by the circumstances in that place, after master Hong su calmed down, the two continued their journey.

there were other soldiers inspecting every building and other place looking for clues, the more the two entered, the more surprised and surprised Mr. Hong Su was and even his knees were limp from the things he had witnessed and imagined what had happened in that place.

not long ago they were in front of the store owned by Huang Sang or rather the pavilion belonging to the blood mask organization.

" before we enter you better prepare yourself !! " said the spearman who was in front of him. Hong Su nodded his head understandingly after rounding off his resolve the two stepped in.

but master Hong Su turned pale as the place was almost entirely red indicating that it had become a place of terrible fighting.
