Capítulo 37: SMALL DISTANCE (5)
The rain was pouring on them, two men walked past them and after some time returned back to leave the slightly thick patch of forest.
After some time both followed behind them, they moved toward the outer edges of Shang Kingdom North Border.
Surrounding was filled with mild splashes of raindrops, they were carefully following two men, at a sudden point Wan Hu noticed that it was possible that those men were aware of their presence and following but it was too late for him to retreat with Henan.
With a sudden push, they were thrown into muddy rainwater ditch.
They were not prepared for this attack, they were trapped and surrounded by Fang Men, "Ha-ha, do you think, I was stupid of your presence, I intentionally brought you here," he ordered other men to cease them in the chain and bring in front of the leader.
They were many and Wan Hu did not make a ruckus because Henan could be affected their brutal ways but he was thinking means to tackle these men.
Their hands were chained behind and their feet were fixed with a single chain, thus they were not able to walk properly.
Both were brought in a shabby single room house which was not qualified to be called a house. Three men were sitting in front of them, if compared to their house they were more tattered than and shabby but they were alert and stout.
"Prince is the sharp eye, he sent his spy to check our activities, I can see that he will become more powerful than his ancestors," one of them spoke with admiration.
"But what should we do these two?" second asked with concern.
"There is no need to worry, they are minor beings just Quarter them as we do with our enemies," third waved his hands without any concern.
Quartering was a death sentence in which criminal was cut into four pieces and thrown into barren areas; Prince widened him to hear the sentence.
Henan did not hear about this kind of sentence, in fact, she never heard any kind of death sentence but when she saw his reaction she was sure they were doomed, many Fang Men entered and listened to the instructions and dragged them out of the shabby house.
They brought them in the open, it was still raining and the second half of the night, Wan Hu was unable to do anything because heavy metal chain could not be rid easily.
Fang men again surrounded them to act according to the instructions of their leader but they were curious about the veiled man.
They wanted to see the face that was behind this veil, they were laughing over their own curiosity. One of them stepped forward, both were helplessly lying on the ground, the man pulled up the veil, Wan Hu jerked himself and covered her face with his body, the man was annoyed and frowned to Wan Hu and bellowed, it seemed you wanted to die first," he rose up his sword and finish Wan Hu but a sudden shine of sword cut his own throat, there were thirty Fang Men who were ordered to Quarter both spies
.
Someone with unmatchable speed was slicing them with his sword; they were baffled with a sudden turn of event.
They tried their best to shatter this enemy, during his fight, he thrust of metal handcuff of Wan Hu and it broke up then he again engaged with Fang men.
Wan Hu hurriedly pick up a sword and sliced the chain open of their feet and then Henan hand, all this happen in sliver amount of moments.
They were standing amid the several shabby houses of Fang Men and any time soon they would get the wind of the matter, they could not simply stay and watch them coming.
They run and hide behind the broken wall, Wan Hu looked around, there was a small room beside it and its door was wide opened, he heard some fang men and retreated silently in the room.
Henan hurriedly hid while sitting and holding beside small wall, Wan Hu saw a man lying on the floor and he was unconcerned of his surrounding, muttering something under his mouth, initially Wan Hu wanted to leave small cottage but then he instinctively removed the long hair from the face of this strange man, he took two moments, his heartache with the shock and pain, he looked at Henan who was busy to fix her veil proper and then he looked back the strange man and muttered, 'Master'.
He had only one master and that was General Zhong. In that instant, a man shouted to the other that they were hiding in that cottage.
Wan Hu run and gripped her hand and then left the cottage, he was currently not in a position to save Henan and his master.
They run as fast as they could and soon left the shabby population of Fang men, it was raining still and they were running to their best.
Shadow Martial Guard was protecting them from behind.
