The Sword God of the South

The Sad Fate of Old Grandma

"Now, my duties in this village are done," Zhang Fei said after everything was over.

The spy is still silent. He hasn't opened his mouth yet.

"The time left is a little. I must quickly go to the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor and discuss some matters," Zhang Fei continued speaking in a stern tone. "About this matter, as if I had to ask for your help," he then turned to the spy.

"Chairman Fei don't worry," the spy replied quickly. "Just leave everything to me. Chairman Fei doesn't need to think about anything else, which is here, let me take care of it,"

"All right, then. I'm counting on you" Zhang Fei patted her on the shoulder slowly. After that he immediately walked over to the topnotch horse that had been waiting since.

"Be careful, Chief," the spy then bowed respectfully.

Zhang Fei nodded while smiling warmly at him. A moment later he directly spurred the topnotch horse.

Thick dust immediately billowed high. The horse's neighing voice sounded, the longer it got further and further away. In just a few breaths, Zhang Fei had already vanished from sight.

The all-black person before remained standing while looking at Zhang Fei's departure. After he was confirmed to have disappeared, he immediately carried out his duties.

The next few days, Zhang Fei had already managed to arrive at Kotaraja. He got there when it was morning. Mentari has not long appeared.

Even so, the situation in Kotaraja already looks crowded. There were many people walking along the big road.

Food merchants and so on have started to make their own efforts.

Zhang Fei walked amidst the crowd while guiding his horse. Before going to the Imperial Palace, he intended to go to a restaurant first.

His stomach is getting hungry. In recent days, Zhang Fei rarely ate regularly. He did it so that he could catch up with time.

During those few days, Zhang Fei rarely stopped. Day and night he kept driving his horse to run as fast as possible.

He only stopped after his horse was completely exhausted. As long as the horse was still freshly fit and a lot of energy, as long as Zhang Fei would continue on his way.

After he walked some distance, Zhang Fei found a restaurant that was deserted by visitors. He saw that the owner of the restaurant was an old grandmother in her seventies.

Without saying much more, Zhang Fei immediately entered the restaurant. He immediately ordered a meal menu in the form of vegetable rice and a hot tea pot.

The old grandmother looked excited after seeing someone coming. He quickly prepared his guest order.

Once everything was ready, he immediately escorted her to the table where Zhang Fei was.

"Please, Young Master," he said as he served the food menu.

"Thank you, Grandma,"

Zhang Fei answered with a smile. After the order arrived on the table, he immediately ate it.

Fifteen minutes later, he finished eating. Zhang Fei walked over to the old grandmother.

"Grandmother, are you living alone?" tanyanya.

"Yes, Young Master. For the past few years, I've lived here alone,"

"Where are your husband and children?"

"My husband died five years ago. My two children don't know where they are. When he grew up, he never came back here again,"

The old grandmother told me a short story. His voice sounded hoarse. It was undeniable, his heart at that moment was in great pain.

His wrinkled and aged face, instantly seemed to grow a few years old.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath. Although he had not experienced it yet, but he quite understood what the old grandmother was feeling.

In his heart, Zhang Fei strongly cursed the children of the old grandmother.

Do children never think how difficult it is to take care of a child from childhood to adulthood?

Why would they do that? Is it shame to have parents who are less capable, or indeed ... have they forgotten it altogether?

"Sir, I'm sorry that I've made you sad," Zhang Fei said feeling guilty.

"No, Young Master. No," the grandmother shook her head several times.

"Taste you, taste good, Grandma. Why don't you enlarge this restaurant?"

"Ah, how could I possibly have the cost to build it, Young Master?" the old grandmother smiled wryly.

Zhang Fei nodded a few times. Suddenly in his heart came the intention of wanting to help.

"Please wait at least three more days, someone will come here" he said, charging a meal.

"Young Master, what do you mean ..."

His words are no longer continued. For at that moment, he found that the masked young man was no longer there.

The old granny only saw that on the table was a piece of gold.

Zhang Fei was already inside the reception room of the Imperial Palace.

He arrived there when the sun was almost overhead. Zhang Fei's arrival to the Imperial Palace was warmly welcomed by the soldiers who were guarding there.

Not only that, even some Generals who previously knew well also welcomed his arrival.

But since each of them had their own duties, the Generals could not accompany Zhang Fei any longer.

Now, the one in the reception room was just him. He was waiting for the arrival of Emperor Song Kwi Bun.

According to a servant, the Emperor will come to see him in a moment.

If counted up until now, at least Zhang Fei was already there about fifteen minutes ago. When he was looking at the painting on the wall, suddenly the door of the room opened wide.

A moment later, someone immediately went inside.

Emperor Song Kwi Bun!

The one who came was none other than himself!

"Greetings to the Emperor. May the Emperor live a long and healthy life always," Zhang Fei immediately stood up and saluted to welcome his arrival.

"Thank you, Chairman Fei. May the heavens always protect you" Emperor Song Kwi Bun returned the tribute. "Please sit down" he said, gesturing with his hands.

Zhang Fei nodded. He sat down in his chair again.

"I'm sorry for making you wait long enough" the Emperor said after he sat down.

"Ah, it doesn't need to be like that, Emperor,"

Emperor Song Kwi Bun smiled knot. A servant then went inside. He poured the wine cup for the two men.

After toast a few times, the maid immediately stood in the corner of the room.

"Servant, let us both be here," the Emperor said to him.

"Okay, Emperor. Well then, servant farewell," the servant saluted. He came straight out of the room.
