Book 1 Chapter 8 – In sofor death
Yuwen Huaji’s forceful voice caht shore, “I wonder which honorable person fro Clan presides over this fleet of shi+ps, please pull toward the shore and halt the shi+ps, let Yuwen Huaji get on board to send ards”
Inside the cabin, Fu Junchuo and the two boys looked at each other They did not expect Yuwen Huaji would catch up with thee shi+ps were heading toward the left shore instead; obviously they were afraid Yuwen Huaji would fly toward their shi+p, or perhaps he would use arrows to attack frohter soared to the sky, “Yuwen Daren, I trust you have been well since we lasthis horse to pursue the shi+p, Yuwen Huaji laughed and replied, “Turns out it’s the Silver Beard with a Silver Dragon Cane, Song Xiong, now everything will be alright Would Song Xiong please have your fleet pull toward the shore first, so that Xiongdi [brother, referring to self] can tell you the details?”
Song Lu laughed and said, “Yuwen Xiong flattered Xiaodi [little brother, referring to self] too much If Yuwen Daren were in Xiaodi’s shoes, suddenly saw martial art ht, telling us to stop along the river, while Xiaodi’s shi+ps are loaded with valuable goods, for the sake of safety, how could I not inquire clearly first the purpose of Yuwen Daren’s visit?”
Yuwen Huaji was extrery at all; he said cheerfully, “That’s easy This tie’s [referring to the Emperor] order to capture three offenders to the throne Reportedly the Fourth Gongzi has paid the bills of these offenders at a restaurant in Danyang, and later on he even invited them to co?”
Without even thinking Song Lu replied, “So to frame us up Would Yuwen Daren please return and report to the Holy Sage that if I, Song Lu, see these offenders, I will personally capture the them to justice, I will send theoing back to his cabin to sleep”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not expect Song Lu to hold yi qi [spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice, code of brotherhood] like this Without the slightest hesitation he simply refused to hand the whether the offender was male or female, he simply asked Yuwen Huaji to return to the Capital Hence they knew that he would not betray them Such character indeed deserved to be called a hero and a warrior
Yuwen Huaji threw his head back and laughed aloud, “Song Xiong is quick to act and quick to speak In this case Xiaodi won’t hide anything fro can enjoy your peace, you will only invite endless trouble in the future Further Clan When the Sage’s dragon heart is angry, I a and your fa Lu said, “Yuwen Daren always loves to exaggerate, but you forget thatDaren inflicts misfortune to hu It seeh”
Yuwen Huaji seehed until he was out of breath and said, “In that case, this officer will not rush back to the Capital just yet I will quietly wait Song Xiong’s honorable self at the Weeping Ghost Gorge ahead, where the river is comparatively narrower, so that we can talk a bit more conveniently, no need for us, brothers, to shout until our voices hoarse”
Again Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling’s countenance changed Fu Junchuo suddenly stood up and said, “I, Fu Junchuo, have received enough kindness from Han people, I will not io”
The two boys haven’t even had the chance to hear Song Lu’s response when Fu Junchuo grabbed their belts and broke out through theLike a big bird they flitted across the surface of the river over four zhang or so distance toward the left riverbank
Song Lu’s surprised cry and Yuwen Huaji’s angry roar could be heard almost simultaneously before the three people entered the forest
The wind cut through Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling’s ear as Fu Junchuo took the deep into the forest In just a short moment they have covered over ten li They felt that they were cli steeper and ed It was not until Fu Junchuo set theh mountain The mountain breeze blew, the two boys were so cold that their teeth chattered
Rounding around the ht the two boys to a shallow cave where on both sides the rass were tall, so that they could hide inside and were te let out a relieved sigh and said, “So dangerous! Fortunately we are on the other side of Yangtze River, Yuwen Huagu cannot chase after us”
Fu Junchuo sighed and said, “Maybe it’s iu only needs a piece of dry stick, and he could easily cross the Great River You, this kid, really don’t understand anything”
Shocked, Xu Ziling said, “Why don’t we quickly run away then?”
Fu Junchuo sat cross-legged With a bitter smile she said, “If I have trained to the ninth level, I would surely be able to continue carrying you away, but withprobed further, “If Yuwen Huagu crossed the River and pursued to this place, where should we flee to?”
Fu Junchuo flatly replied, “So er sense compared to ordinary person We only need to leave soet about evading his eyes and nose Alright, stop talking, I want to meditate to build up th will be restored, and then I can fight hi, she closed her eyes and went into meditation
The two boys dejectedly sat close to each other; they did not even dare to discuss their situation, for fear that they
As time passed, the two boys’ anxiety slipped away bit by bit
Suddenly Fu Junchuo stood up and whispered, “He’s here! He is alone”
The two boys followed her standing up Kou Zhong said in treive the book to him and be done with it”
Fu Junchuo turned around and spoke sternly, “Are you still considered hu said softly, “He is only concerned over Niang”
The bright ht down below Fu Junchuo sighed And then ‘Pfft!’ she laughed and said, “Xiao Zhongyou!”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling’s whole body trembled Under different circu, they would be utterly delighted; this time, however, they felt ill omened
Fu Junchuo said in a low voice, “Nowill definitely take you leave this place”
Yuwen Huaji’s laughter was heard outside the cave, “For those two boys’ sake Miss has revealed your hiding place It was really unwise These past few years, Miss has twice disguised yourself as a palace e, yet we could not even touch the tail of your gown I had never expected that this tihost book, Miss felt co these two kids a favor, even I, Yuwen Huaji, have to eat dust, I would never overco looked at each other Turned out their Niang has entered the Palace to assassinate Yang Guang; evensacrifice, otherwise, with her lightness skill, which even Yuwen Huaji was asha inferior, how could Yuwen Huaji catch up with her?
Fu Junchuo’s hand was already on the hilt of her sword Under the hazy ht, she appeared majestic and stately “Yuwen Huaji,” she said coldly, “You came here alone, aren’t you afraid that you may not be the sword in hed and said, “Although the sword in Miss’ hand is forht it carries, I think you and I are already well aware of If you want to slaughter ht away Otherwise, if olden opportunity”
Fu Junchuo said indifferently, “Since you, Yuwen Huaji, are so eager to die, let me help you fulfill your wish!+”
Her silhouette flashed, Fu Junchuo had already flown out; followed by the continuous sound of qi clashi+ng against each other
Both sides carries the al his and her life, and both were going all out Under the e, Yuwen Huaji was seen standing on top of a giant boulder, while Fu Junchuo looked like a ghostly sht directions The blade in her hand turned intoagainst the opponent; it was a totally hard fight where both sides were staking everything they got
The expression on Yuwen Huaji’s long face was solemn and respectful, his hands turned into fist or claw or open palm, interspersed with kicks here and there, as if he turned into an exorcist dealing with Fu Junchuo’s wild, out-of-this-world attacks
The two boys vowed that they would never forget his appearance for as long as they live Although they were separated by a good seven, eight zhang away froenerated by the fierce battle still assaulted the pain was about to crack their skin open, and it was difficult for them to keep their eyes open
When they could not take it anymore, they shrunk back into the rock crevices By the tied Fu Junchuo flew over Yuwen Huaji, her sword moved even faster,on an all-out offensive without any defensive move at all But the fact was that Yuwen Huaji could only defend without being able to counter Apparently he was falling into disadvantageous position
