The Legend of Zhu San
173: The Truth of Happiness
Due to the large number of soldiers' remains, Xie Han ended up burying the bodies of the dead soldiers in a small ravine located two kilometers north of Baixan city.
The bodies were carried on dozens of freight trains and were only completed by nightfall.
To cover up the corpses, Xie Han and dozens of warriors who helped, destroyed a cliff with their inner strength.
Xie Han returned to Baixan City and immediately faced Emperor Liu Feng, after first cleaning himself up and changing his battle attire to an ordinary robe.
“Congratulations General Xie Han, you managed to win the battle with great.” Emperor Liu Feng said welcoming Xie Han with a wide smile to him.
“Ampuni His Majesty's Servant, all thanks to the valor of the soldiers and warriors who help us with all our souls. This is a win We all.” Xie Han said carefully.
All those who were in that place, the ministers, Zheng An and the noble Mu Bai, smiled widely at Xie Han's words. Likewise with the Emperor.
Emperor Liu Feng smiled widely, because one of the things that made him raise Xie Han was this humble nature of his.
He also intended to marry Xie Han to Liu Ling. But he realized that the current situation was not conducive.
For this reason, Emperor Liu asked Xie Han to tell some important figures, to hold a meeting about his future plans.
The meeting will be held tomorrow morning in the meeting hall of the noble residence of Mu Bai. Xie Han immediately passed from the place to carry out his duties. He planned to meet Zhu San and his two teachers.
Just then, Lin Kai was staring resentfully at Fu Kuan who was being treated by his Wife, Qin Rui. Fu Kuan's left arm was scratched by an arrow, when the battle was almost over.
Fu Kuan, who had not argued with Lin Kai for a long time, had an idea to reward Lin Kai by spoiling Qin Rui. “Rui’er please massage my shoulder dear, it feels sore once.”
“Cih ... Just scratched a little bit, just ask for mercy!” Lin Kai snorted while raising his cup. The wine in the cup immediately moved into his stomach in one gulp.
Fu Kuan laughed out loud.”So get married again.” Qin Rui smiled at her husband. While they were arguing, it was a time that always made Qin Rui able to laugh freely.
Lin Kai wanted to reply to Fu Kuan's words, but Zhu San and Bian Chi had come. The two had just had a conversation with Liu Ling, about Zhu San's plan to give the Yin Crystals to Xie Han.
“Chi’er, thank you for killing the demonic woman for both of us.” Lin Kai said to Bian Chi after the two greeted and sat down in front of them.
“It is appropriate for a student to do that Master. Sun Li is indeed a cunning woman, it is fitting that he got punished with his death.”
Just as Bian Chi finished his sentence, Xie Han's voice asked for permission to meet them. Xie Han entered, after Fu Kuan had invited him.
“Sorry to disturb the Rest of the Three Elders and brother Zhu San as well as Sister Bian Chi. I am here to receive an order from the Emperor to present an invitation that tomorrow morning His Majesty the Emperor asked the three Elders and Brother Zhu San to attend the meeting.”
Xie Han said after sitting among them and chugging the cup of wine poured by Zhu San.
After talking for some time, Xie Han resigned himself. He planned to meet Tan Kuan and Yu Mei who were in another building.
Lin Kai immediately asked, when will Zhu San return to Songdu City. Because he wanted to attend Lin Mi's funeral.
“The plan, tomorrow morning students will leave second Master. But not attending the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor was a mistake. So the student will leave after the completion of the meeting.”
Fu Kuan agreed, and Qin Rui will go to Songdu. Other than paying the last respects to Lin Mi, there was one important mission that they would both undertake.

The next morning, the atmosphere in the Meeting Hall that was usually used by Nobles Mu Bai to negotiate and entertain his colleagues, had been filled by several important figures who would discuss the next plan.
Emperor Liu Feng then explained that he planned to return to the Imperial Palace in the Capital of Shangyu, three more days, to immediately take control of the imperial situation.
Emperor Liu Feng also asked for help from warriors, to participate in rebuilding the Liu Empire together. It was welcomed by some of the leaders of the White Flow Sect.
Then the Emperor planned to arrest the three Nobles who were the masterminds for their coup. And took over their three cities.
Just as Emperor Liu Feng was about to talk about the management of the three cities, there was a sound of commotion in front of the tightly shut entrance of the Meeting Hall.
Xie Han immediately rushed out and opened the door and found a commotion where two people dressed as nobles, forced their way into the Meeting Hall.
“Who are you two and why force entry into this room?” Xie Han asked with a face of astonishment from feeling familiar with the person's smile and voice.
“Han’er allow us to go inside, I want to see my brother?” The figure of the man said which made Xie Han surprised.
“No way ... Didn't you have .. Ah please enter Mr. Zhu Han. Forgive our soldier attitude.”
Xie Han immediately saluted her and she opened the door, letting the two wives' husbands in. Zhu Han smiled faintly, as Xie Han recognized his disguise.
Zhu Han and Mu Rong's faces were indeed different, but their eyes and lips and voice, could not be changed. Unlike his teacher, the Thousand Faces Swordsman who could be so perfect in his disguise.
“San Gege .. The two of them were the ones who gave me this dress.” Bian Chi's voice rang out as Zhu Han and Mu Rong had been in the midst of them.
Noble Mu Bai was slightly surprised to hear Bian Chi's words. He wanted to ask Bian Chi about the origin of the Red Dress he seemed to have seen almost twenty years ago.
He looked closely, the faces of the two who had just bowed in salute to the Emperor.
“Honor to His Majesty the Emperor, Forgive Us for interrupting this important meeting.”
Zhu San's mouth was wide open, his eyes looking in disbelief when he heard the voice he so longed for. The voice of the Father who had been preached was killed by the Black Stream Alliance.
He also looked resentfully at Tan Kuan who was also looking at him with a big smile holding back a laugh.
While Nobles Mu Bai immediately stood up and half ran over to the younger brother, so did Mu Rong.
“Rong’er You are still ..” Nobles Mu Bai immediately embraced Mu Rong with tears of deep happiness, when he found his only sister was still alive.
