On the bank of the river

Chapter 79 : Your son !

" Master , the carriage is prepared." Hien replied to his master as soon as he reached .

The man in black only nodded and hopped on the carriage. Sitting in the position of coachman, Hien waited for his masters next instruction.

" Don't stop the carriage. Try to avoid patrolling guards. Stop the carriage nearby the imperial graveyard." The man called master ordered from inside the carriage.

Hien frowned but started the carriage again without no complaint. After some time , avoiding questioning patrolling guard by bribing them secretly , they stopped the carriage at destination.

" Let's search an inn nearby . I have changed my mind. Let's return back in the next morning. " The man again carelessly remarked. Hien only nodded heavily and went to search for an inn.

It's already night time , and after his mission in the black sect he is mostly tired. But for his weird master , he was doing those things. At first , he was happy that his master is willing to returned back at night. But now his master again changed his plan. After searching for good quality inn , Hien returned returned back feeling quite satisfied.

" Master , please follow this servant. I've searched one place already." Hien happily answered .

" Um. Bring out those boxes from the carriage. Be careful , don't drop it." Finally ordering , the man came out from the carriage.

Hearing the command, Hien was shocked. When did his master put those boxes inside ! Shaking his head, he carefully guided his master into the inn.

When morning fall in , his master went somewhere and told him to wait near the doorway of the inn. Hien actually wanted to refuse it , but at last he nodded unwillingly. He can't argue with his master. His master never did anything without any solid reason.

Meanwhile , the man called Master, entered the imperial graveyard in the following morning. There have no petrolling guards this early morning hours. He sighed as he faster his steps.

Without searching much , he stopped at a particular place. Soft gust of wind blowing as he calmly stared at the black stone mark. Kneeling down , he opened the bag where he prepared everything previously. He lifted his head and gazed on the name plate ....... Emperor of Hui , Hui Cong .

By reading the name plate, tears automatically rolled down from his eyes.

Without wasting any more time , he burnt some joss sticks and holding both hand front , he murmured some things. Very soon , he burnt some paper money and offered some fruits. After finishing those offerings , he kowtow three times to give the final respect.

Time passing by bit by bit , but he stayed still but from his closed eyes tears were flowing continuously. His expression seems like finally he was relieved! Like a huge burden from his shoulder lifted and he patiently opened his both eyes and his mouth started moving ,

" It was not your fault neither mine. I've no hatred towards you. Even if you failed to protect me after knowing that I'm not ...... " He paused and started chocking.

" Still I'm your son. My life was a mess , neither me or my mother expected this outcome. Still you willing to accept me. You gave me my life ! So what , for situation you abandoned me , left me hanging in misery . I will forever remain faithful for your guidance ....... "

"Father, your this son Cole will forever remember your kindness towards his life. Forever ." He murmured slowly.

A strong gust of wind blow and he stood up. Trying to feel the cold wind for the last time as his assurance, he chuckled lightly. Opening his closed wet eyes , he gazed to nowhere and left the place quietly again.
