The Legend of Zhu San
174: The Noble Zhu Han's Explanation
The haru atmosphere in the Hall of the meeting, occurred until a few minutes after Zhu Han and Mu Rong removed a thin mask covering their faces.
Emperor Liu Feng looked delighted to see Royalty Zhu Han alive and well.
Zhu San and Bian Chi immediately returned to their seats after the two prostrated themselves three times before Mu Rong and Zhu Han. The novelty happened as Mu Rong hugged Bian Chi very tightly.
The meeting was followed by discussing the plan to take over three major cities, namely Wuchang, Hangyao and Dongyin.
Emperor Liu Feng also planned to confiscate the entire possessions of the three treasonous nobles and give them to the three nobles who helped him.
His trading town of Wuchang would be controlled by the Noble Mu Bai. The city of Dongyin will be ruled by the Noble Song Yu. While Hangyao City, Will be controlled by the Noble Zhu Han.
After the meeting in the Hall ended, the Nobles of Mu Bai, Zhu Han and his wives, Tan Kuan and Yu Mei, Zhu San and Bian Chi as well as the two teachers of Zhu San, held a meeting to hear Zhu Han's explanation.
When everyone had gathered in the room of Noble Mu Bai, Zhu Han began his explanation of the camouflage of his death.
“All this is by Master's will, Master said that I must stay alive, because Shinzu city still desperately needs Me. I tried to reject Master's advice. But I am powerless when forcing in my own way.”
Zhu Han said in a quivering voice, He continued his explanation of the Thousand Faces Swordsman plan, after hearing the news that five noble guards were Yin Hu and Nobles An He, after hearing the news, will come to Shinzu City intending to kill himself.
Whether or not the news was true, the Thousand Faces Swordsman proposed a long-standing plan to fake Zhu Han's death for the safety of his disciple.
The plan was stupefied in the minds of the Thousand Faces Swordsman ever since, the arrival of several people from the Qing Empire who wanted to kill Zhu Han including Chou Ong.
The Thousand Faces Swordsman invited Rei Ji and the Ten Heise Troops to carry out a plan that had been carefully prepared by him.
Rei Ji and the ten Heise Troops were willing to carry out all the plans drawn up by Grandpa Master Zhu San. They were willing to sacrifice their lives even for the safety of the tens of thousands of residents of Shinzu city.
Rei Ji was willing to be a fake Zhu Han. One of the female members of the Heise Army, willing to disguise herself as Mu Rong. And one man was willing to disguise himself as the faceless figure of Rei Ji.
With the mask equipment that had been prepared beforehand, the Thousand Faces Swordsman immediately made a disguise for the five people.
The original Rei Ji wore a thin Zhu Han-faced mask and wore a cloak often worn daily by the Shinzu City's ruling nobility.
While one female member of the Heise Army, wearing a mask with the face of Mu Rong. One male member of the Heise Squad was wearing a Rei Ji-faced mask that would escort Mu Rong to Baixan City.
Zhu Han and Mu Rong were given two different masks on their faces by the Thousand Faces Swordsman.
After the preparations were finished, the fake Mu Rong entered the horse carriage. While the fake Rei Ji sat in front and became sais for the train.
Zhu Han and Mu Rong, riding on horseback with eight members of the Heise Army. They left Tan Kuan, the Thousand Faces Swordsman and Rei Ji who were now guarding his residence.
Zhu Han sighed for a moment, before resuming his explanation.
But the ten members of the Heise Army prostrated asking him, to keep following the plan of the Thousand Faces Swordsman for the future of the residents of Shinzu City.
With a very sad face, Zhu Han and Mu Rong then drove his horse eastward, crossing a small road that would lead them to a large village.
Along the way, they both hope nothing bad happens to everyone involved in the plan.
Arriving at a large village that was arguably a small town, Zhu Han headed for a tavern. He found the shopkeeper and gave the Master a letter to the shopkeeper.
The owner of the Shop, was the one who had been saved by the Thousand Faces Swordsman. He even capitalized by him to open the restaurant to become the largest store in the small town.
The owner of the Shop took Zhu Han and Mu Rong to the back and showed them a large room that was luxurious enough for them to occupy for as long as needed.
Zhu Han always changed the clothes they were wearing when coming out of the building, they were dressed like beggars, The clothes his teacher had prepared.
In such clothes, they mingled with other beggars. Then managed to meet the beggar leader who was a secret informant for the Master.
They were free warriors who would always keep an eye on the movements of the Black Stream Alliance warriors and report them to the Thousand Faces Swordsman.
“San’er in a small Town that is when your Mom and I met you and Brother Ruo who gave us money before entering the store. Do you remember?” Zhu Han asked Zhu San who was surprised to hear that.
“Iya .. I still remember it Dad, but the faces of Father and Mother were different then, and I did not expect it. Why don't you come to us and tell us the truth?” Zhu San asked back.
“What your Grandpa Master said is what keeps us from telling the truth, even though we would love to see you and say it.” Zhu Han paused for a moment before continuing his sentence.
“Teacher advised that I may open my disguise if the Black Stream Alliance is defeated entirely. And We continued to disguise during this trip to Baixan City for over a month on foot.”
Fu Kuan and Lin Kai nodded their heads several times. The two became more respectful to their friend, who was willing to die for his disciple and the safety of others.
“Your teacher is indeed a very great person, May He be calm there, see his disciple so devoted to him.” Fu Kuan said in a trembling voice, making Zhu Han immediately bow respectfully.
The Noble Lord of Shinzu City, then looked at Tan Kuan. “Kakak Tan thank you for sacrificing for us, Who is his sister? What is Kaka Wife Candidate?”
Zhu Han immediately asked Tan Kuan who made the face of his elder brother turn red, before explaining who Yu Mei was. He also said he would soon marry Yu Mei in the near future.
Zhu Han and everyone immediately congratulated Tan Kuan and Yu Mei whose now beautiful faces were blushing red.
With a furrowed forehead, Fu Kuan looked at Lin Kai's sad looking face. He asked why his friend had put it that way.
“I'm always sad when I hear people are getting married. Always present question “I when to marry her?” Lin Kai replied as he exhaled a long breath.
