The Sword God of the South

General Li

Zhang Fei stood in silence for quite a while. He was still on the side of the road looking ahead.

The dust puff immediately soared high. The situation on the road suddenly darkened, as if time had changed to night.

The sound of the footsteps of the horses was getting farther away. The longer it gets smaller, until it finally disappears again.

When the shadow of the dozens of horsemen and the clattering of his footsteps could no longer be heard, it was at that moment that Zhang Fei only made a move.

It was as if he had just woken up from his dream.

In on that, Zhang Fei's mind also instantly worked quickly. He was sure, the dozens of horsemen just now, must have been Imperial soldiers.

But where are the dozens of soldiers going?

He was astonished, for it was not usual for dozens of soldiers to ride horses at night. Moreover, the horse they ride is a topnotch horse that has a stocky body.

"There must be something behind this incident" the young man murmured.

Because he did not want to bear the curiosity, then in the end he decided to follow the footsteps of dozens of horses earlier.

Yush!!!

Zhang Fei's body shot out like an arrow pulled out of a bowstring. In just a moment, he was already far from where he was.

At that time, it was getting night. Slowly the moon crept up high. A pale yellow light shines on the face of the earth.

The wind blows slowly, shaking the leaves and branches of small trees.

After taking out all the knowledge to lighten the body, Zhang Fei was finally able to catch up with the entourage of dozens of horses that he considered to be Imperial soldiers.

It turned out, those dozens of people were indeed Imperial soldiers. Just as he had expected before.

Now, those soldiers were already at the border of a large city. I don't know what the name of the city, which is certain, far ahead there, there is a vast meadow.

In the midst of a stretch of nature, the gusts of the night wind are increasingly felt clearly. The cold immediately pierced the bone.

The dozens of soldiers were seated gallantly on the backs of their respective horses. For a long time, those people didn't move.

But those dozens of eyes still looked far ahead.

What are they really doing? Was waiting? So, who are they waiting for?

All sorts of such questions suddenly appeared in Zhang Fei's mind. To him, this kind of scene was a little strange.

Although the number of soldiers was not up to forty people, at least twenty only, but still, for him there was something strange.

It seemed, Zhang Fei had only seen a scene like this.

If it happened during the day, maybe he can still justify it. Because a little, it could be that all these things are directly related to the task of state.

But if the night is like this, what duty? It seemed, other than because of the precarious situation, there was no other reason that made sense.

For a long time he thought. Unfortunately, none of the answers he managed to find.

Hence, Zhang Fei desperately darted straight ahead. He approached dozens of soldiers.

Once he was at the very front, he immediately stopped. Before speaking, Zhang Fei saluted those people first.

At the same time, the twenty soldiers seemed to be watching him from top to bottom. Their eyes are very sharp. It was as if it wanted to swallow Zhang Fei alive.

"Who are you, young man?" ask a soldier in a loud voice.

"Include, my margaret Zhang, my name is Fei" he replied politely.

"Hemm, what are you doing here? Are you one of the people we're waiting for?"

"One of the people who was waiting? What do you mean sir? I really don't understand" he said still in a polite tone.

"Omong empty. Gun up!"

Without further ado, the soldier directly lowered the command to his comrades. Simultaneously, the other soldiers immediately pulled out the machete on their waists.

Dozens of sharp machetes had already been lifted into mid-air. But just as they were about to intervene, suddenly another voice was heard.

"Hold it!"

The voice that sounded just now was louder and more authoritative again.

When Zhang Fei glanced at the source of the voice, he found a fifty-year-old man staring at him fixedly.

The man's face was sharp. From his body came out a prestige that was difficult to explain. Not only that, even according to Zhang Fei, that person had at least understood about silat.

On the other hand, when viewed more carefully, the person who was looking at him was also wearing more luxurious clothes. Even the cleaver on his waist, seemed to be filled with diamond gems.

Unmistakably, this must be the leader of these dozens of warriors, Zhang Fei thought.

Meanwhile, when the cry sounded earlier, dozens of soldiers who were ready to attack, immediately held back their movements.

The next second, when they saw the signal, they immediately sheathed back the machete.

"Young man, you said earlier, your name is Zhang Fei?" ask the person after he has looked at her for a long time.

"Right, General," he replied while nodding his head.

"Hemm, your face is very similar to those of the Song Empire,"

"Hamba is indeed a native, General,"

"Oh, quick," he nodded his head a few times. Then said again, "I am General Li, one of the Generals assigned to this Province," he continued explaining briefly.

Zhang Fei did not answer. He just nodded his head.

A short while later, General Li immediately spoke again. "Young brother, what business did you do to come here?"

"There really is nothing, General. I just wanted to ask you a question,"

"What questions?"

"Why are these nights, gentlemen here?"

"Oh, this matter," General Li sighed for a moment. He watched Zhang Fei return. "It's a matter of state. As is well known, the country is in chaos. We have information from the spies that an intruder from another Empire is on its way. That's why we're here,"

As told earlier, today, the four empires located in Tionggoan were indeed in a conflict.

Each of these Emperors had his own ambitions.

Zhang Fei himself knew that, so he did not feel astonished after hearing the matter.

"Young brother, now it's better to just leave. I'm afraid you'll be the victim of the wrong target later" General Li said.

"But, General, I also want to help your cause. I want to defend our homeland,"

"Thank you. This intention of yours I accept with great respect. But for the time being, Imperial soldiers were also still able to deal with the enemy invasion. That's why, you don't bother to expend energy," General Li said subtly.

He knew, this young man who was now standing in front of him was not an indiscriminate person. Aside from the appearance and the sword on his back, he could also feel a tremendous air escaping from his body.

Therefore, from the beginning he did not act rashly. Especially after he knew that this handsome young man was still a native.
