The Legend of Zhu San
232: News of the Death of the Uncle
Zhu San who was planning to stay one night in Songdu City, had to be restrained because Master both asked to be taught the qi absorbing technique. Zhu San followed suit.
But after two days later, Lin Kai unsuccessfully also formed the qi energy of a single crystal. He then decided to stop and allow Zhu San to continue his journey to the Jian Empire.
Suddenly Song Ruo came with a face that looked gloomy and angry, in his hand clasped a letter that had just arrived carried by the pigeon of the Post.
“San’er .. There is News for you, You should immediately return to Baixan City.” Zhu San was surprised to hear that, he read a piece of paper handed over by Song Ruo.
Zhu San's face was visibly darkened after he finished reading the letter. The letter crumbled to ashes. Lin Kai looked at the disciple in astonishment.
Squeezing a rock into a small shard, he could do it. But making paper into ash, is not an easy thing to do.
“Uncle Ruo .. I will be leaving for Baixan city right now. Please Uncle Ruo and Uncle Yu be careful. The turmoil of Liu Empire seems to have taken its toll.”
Song Ruo nodded in agreement. Previously He had been told by Zhu San about the turmoil in the Liu Empire. But who would have thought today had fallen victim on their side.
Bian Chi who came after being called Zhu San by telepathy, looked in surprise at her husband who looked extremely angry. He wanted to ask but Zhu San first said that he begged his second Master as well as Grandma Qin Ji and Song Ruo.
Zhu San and Bian Chi immediately shot into the air at their full speed, Zhu San and Bian Chi's bodies were seen disappearing as the two shot towards Baixan City. The speed that Zhu San and Bian Chi displayed, made Lin Kai swallow his saliva.
“Sontoloyo's boy, his strength has been way above both of us now. It doesn't seem in vain I have a student like Hahahaha.” Lin Kai laughed happily at the fact.
He looked towards the passing of the Disciple who was no longer seen with a proud look.

Through his telepathy, Zhu San explained the situation he had just received to Bian Chi who was still curious. “What!? Is that really the news?” Bian Chi asked after they were tens of kilometers away from Songdu City.
That made him delay the plan to the Jian Empire. He felt avenging his Uncle's death was more mainstream.
Upon arrival in Baixan City, Zhu San was greeted by the sad face of Nobles Mu Bai. “San’er You have returned Son. Thank goodness.”
“Whose uncle killed Uncle Mu Dao in Wuchang city? Are his wife and son safe?” Zhu San's question was answered by the tears of Noble Mu Bai.
None of the members of the noble Mu Dao family were alive. His wife and two children were killed. That explanation further enraged Zhu San.
“Uncle I'll be going to Wuchang City soon, have the bodies of Uncle Mu Dao and the others been buried?” Ask Zhu San.
“General Qu Lung has buried him. You go over there and investigate your Uncle's death, son.” Noble Mu Bai said as he hugged Zhu San.
Zhu San immediately met his Master Fu Kuan and said goodbye to Wuchang City. He and Bian Chi shot back into the air and floated at full speed towards the city.
In just two hours, the two had reached the city that had been led by his late Uncle Mu Dao. Zhu San decided to enter the city on foot.
He and Bian Chi set foot two hundred meters from the northern gate of the city which was one of the great cities of the Liu empire. They had no trouble entering the city.
“Decars Zhu .. Welcome to Wuchang.” city General Qu Lung greeted Zhu San with a tense-looking face. Zhu San's big name was what caused him to behave this way.
The general was about fifty years old with those sharp eyes, allowing Zhu San to rest for a while.
“General Lung, I hope I get a hint from your explanation to find out who was behind the murder of Uncle Mu Dao.”
After drinking the wine served, Zhu San asked General Qu Lung for an explanation about the death of his Uncle Mu Dao. General Qu Lung told me everything in a trembling voice.
He could feel Zhu San's anger from his gaze and words. After he finished telling that, Zhu San fell silent.
Zhu San then asked General Qu Lung to escort him to Uncle Mu Dao's residence. Upon arriving at the sizable building, Zhu San still saw a blood splash upon entering one of his rooms.
Zhu San's heart felt very sore to see the situation of the Uncle's residence. “It seems like there was a fight, I'm sure the killer is not an ordinary swordsman.”
Zhu San's conjecture wasn't without reason. He could see some of the walls of the building that seemed to be cut down by weapons. “General Lung, can you command the soldiers to clean up this place?”
“Surely Swordsman Zhu .. I'll order soldiers to do it.” General Qu Lung answered quickly.
He immediately ordered dozens of soldiers to clean the residence of the Noble Mu Dao.
“San Gege .. Are you planning to stay here?” Bian Chi asked who did not know the reason Zhu San had asked for it.
“True Chi’er. Oh Yes General Lung, have you told the Capital about this?”
Zhu San asked as General Lung arrived in front of him. Currently the three were in the courtyard of the residence of the Noble Mu Dao. Tens of soldiers were cleaning the place.
“Once Swordsman Zhu, I even asked the Emperor to appoint a new Governor immediately.” General Qu Lung replied with a frown.
“General Lung, immediately announce that I am currently the new governor appointed by Emperor Liu.” Zhu San then whispered something to General Lung who was surprised to hear him say so.
All of that was Zhu San's strategy on the belief that the Assassin was still in Wuchang City. Zhu San assumed that his Uncle Mu Dao was killed for being the Governor of Wuchang City.
With that in mind, he asked General Qu Lung to make an announcement about him becoming governor.
If his conjecture is correct, then the Assassins will come to him. It was just that Zhu San requested that the Governor's Name, not his real one.
Zhu San asked General Qu Lung to use Mo Heng's name as an identity for her. So that they do not recognize the true identity of Zhu San.
Zhu San un occupied the residence of Mu Dao. On the first and second days, nothing happened. Likewise, the third night Zhu San was in Wuchang City.
But on the fourth night, Zhu San and Bian Chi felt some movement on the roof of the building. The two immediately prepared to welcome guests in the middle of the night.
