Episode 177. Self-Defense
There were a total of five major bases along the sandy road stretching along the border area between Cheonghae and Xinjiang.
Two of them were affiliated with Wei Mindan and Hao Wen, while the other two were independent local offices.
The one remaining gilru is Yeohwaru, which is secretly operated by Cheonseonggung.
The meeting of these Roujus is held every time they tour the Giru.
Among them, this time a meeting will be held in the second half of this year at Yeonghwanru, run by the Women’s Group.
The bustling interior of Yeonghwanru.
The best famous women that Yeonghwanru boasts were performing beautiful yet extremely sharp sword dances.
A kind of celebratory performance for guests.
Cheon Byeong-mun, the head of Yeonghwanru, was appreciating the sight with happy eyes.
The Roujus and companions from other giru also seemed to be impressed.
Anyway, this sword dance was the performance that Yeonghwanru was most proud of.
Cheon Byeong-moon thought.
‘Ugh. Our Giru’s performance is of a different level from your trashy Giru’s. Aam.’
It was then.
“Lord Luju!”
At that moment, I suddenly saw Jeomsoy running towards Cheon Byeongmun in a huff.
He looked very nervous and was sweating all over his body.
The courtesans of Yeonghwanru flinched when they saw the scene while dancing.
Cheon Byeong-moon waved his hand and signaled to continue.
Cheon Byeong-moon, who was puzzled, lowered his voice and asked Jeom So-i.
“Why did you follow me here? “Can’t you see me with the guests right now?”
Then Jeomsoy bowed his head and said.
“oh my. sorry. Lord Rouge. But… I feel like I should tell you in advance…”
Jeomsoy was out of breath and his pronunciation was incorrect.
Cheon Byeong-moon frowned heavily and said.
“So don’t hesitate and speak quickly.”
Despite his words, Jeomsoy hesitated, glancing at Rouge and his companions who were present.
Cheon Byeong-moon ended up having a tantrum.
“Can’t we talk right now!”
Then, Jian Shaoyi flinched and eventually came closer to Chen Luzhu and spoke in a whisper.
“Lord Luju. “Someone… came with blood all over his body and is acting up.”
Cheon Byeong-moon was startled and complained again.
“what? How dare you! “Where am I? This guy must be crazy.”
Jeomsoi answered while struggling.
“yes. Yes… of course we thought so too. But… But he kept saying strange things.”
“What strange noise?”
“So… wouldn’t that guy brag about being a warrior from Yeohwaru? “I need to see Lord Lu…”
Then Cheon Byeong-mun’s face hardened for an instant.
However, Jeomsoy did not notice at all and only said what he had to say.
“If you are here today from Yeohwaru, please confirm the authenticity…”
“Yeohwaru Ruju said he couldn’t come because he was sick.”
“Ah…”
“What are the kids doing? “You can’t stop a crazy person like that.”
Of course, the kids are referring to Giru’s guards.
Jeomsoy glanced around again and said.
“Ah, as you know, most of the security forces were mobilized for the event here today.”
‘Achacha. yes.’
Cheon Byeong-moon also realized this.
Most of the security guards were protecting the event venue.
It was when Cheon Byeong-moon turned his head and was about to call the guard captain to stop with a wave of his hand.
Suddenly.
As the door opened, a man covered in blood appeared.
So all attention was focused on that.
The man is none other than Jeong Hoe-soo, the former commissioner of Yeohwa-ru.
He said while urgently running towards Cheon Byeong-mun.
“Lord Chen Chen Lu. Lord Chen Lu.”
The black men blocking him at that time.
They were the guards of Yeonghwanru.
Unlike Yeohwalu, who hired half-babys for security reasons, these were formal disciples hired from within the Women’s Dan.
Among them, the guard captain spoke.
“Who are you to come into Yeonghwanru and commit mischief?”
Then Jeong Hoesoo spoke with an urgent expression.
“I am… I am from Yeonghwanru… I recently committed myself to the Women’s Corps. “Lord Chen over there is the witness.”
Following his words, there was an uproar in the audience.
The first person to speak was Seong Daeyang, the owner of Hoewolu, who was famous for remembering the faces of customers.
“huh? Now that I think about it, the author is not really from Yeonghwanru. It seems that Su Luzhu had attended several times….”
Among the other guests, a group of sympathizers also formed.
“Then I think I saw it.”
At that time, Cheon Byeong-moon shouted.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even have a single memory in my head. “Why are you coming here and talking about the Women’s Corps?”
Then Jeong Hoe-soo said with an expression of resentment.
“No, Lord Chen Lu. You used to cajole me when I needed it, but now you’re throwing me out because the situation is like this? “This is going to be troublesome!”
At that time, Luju Gu Taogong of Zayunru, a kiru belonging to Haomen, spoke.
“No, Lord Chen Lu. Is that true? Aren’t we holding this meeting to prevent such a situation? “For fair competition.”
He had a serious expression, but he was happy on the inside.
All of the Rouges had knives hidden in their pockets.
However, especially among them, the Women’s Dan and Haomun, whose power characteristics are similar, are like enemies to each other.
Moreover, exchanges with the western region have become more active recently.
Most of the customers are wealthy merchants.
Therefore, sales in the border sands of Cheonghae and Xinjiang, which have a large commercial floating population, were burning even more brightly as if on fire.
In other words, the Giru of this region became the main source of revenue for each sect.
So this meeting today was very important.
If the other person has a weakness, you will have to dig it to the core.
That way, it will be useful when conducting other negotiations.
Of course, Cheon Byeong-moon jumped up and cut off Jeong Hoe-soo.
“What are you talking about? “Are you saying that all Roujus believe this crazy guy’s nonsense?”
At that time, Jeong Hoesoo spoke urgently.
“No, Lord Chen Lu. Lord Chen Lu. If you handle things like this, how will other talented people trust you and entrust themselves to you? “Please save me.”
At that time, Jaunru Luju Gu Daogong spoke.
“No, Lord Chen Lu. “I’m saying this so much, but shouldn’t I at least listen to it?”
Then Cheon Byeong-moon became excited and spat.
“no! Lord Jaunru, are you saying that you would trust this baseless bastard rather than me, your longtime friend? “I am truly disappointed.”
At that time, the voice of the person next to Gu Dao Palace was heard.
“I’m not saying I don’t believe it, but I’m saying let’s make it clear. “You don’t say it, but I’m sure all of you Rujus here think that way, right?”
A slender man who spoke for the first time today.
At that moment, Jeong Hoe-soo’s eyes sparkled.
Of course, no one noticed, but…
Cheon Byeong-moon snorted at him and said.
“joy. Did you say this was an investigation? “What are you saying you know when you first attend?”
At that time, another man sitting next to me chuckled and said.
“Oh my, it’s fun. Fun. “I never dreamed that the Rouge Gathering Tournament could be this much fun.”
Then Cheon Byeong-moon’s expression suddenly distorted.
It was then.
“Lord Chen Rou! “Don’t pretend not to know, but please help.”
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Jeong Hoesoo began his investigation again.
Cheon Byeong-moon said.
“Hello. “Cast out the interest immediately.”
“yes!”
The guards of Yeonghwanru began to flock in droves.
Jeong Hoe-soo, who saw this, became even more urgent and spoke.
“It failed. failure! Lord Chen Lu. I tried to kill Sojuyeom as Rouju said, but I ultimately failed and ended up dying. “There was a strange guy there.”
So there was a huge uproar in the audience.
A contract assassination among the Rouges?
All the Rouges opened their axe eyes at once and glared at Cheon Byeongmun.
So, it was Cheon Byeong-moon who became even more upset.
He shouted so excitedly that his eyeballs popped out of his scruffy face.
“What bullshit! I never offered to help! He said he would take care of it, so just lend him some money! “When was the last time you got down on your knees and begged, and now you’re trying to frame me!”
In an instant, the main hall of Yeonghwanru suddenly became quiet as if stagnant water had been poured on it.
A moment of awkward silence.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Cheon Byeong-moon was devastated when he finally realized his mistake.
At that time, Jeong Hoe-soo straightened up his crouching body and spoke.
“You are truly a thoughtful person. Lord Chen Lu.”
Surprisingly, his voice sounded like that of a completely different person.
Jeong Hoesoo said with a grin.
“I checked before coming in, and the whereabouts of Jeong Hoe-soo’s younger sister were unknown.”
Then Cheon Byeong-moon opened his mouth wide and said, as if it was absurd.
“What… what kind of bullshit are you talking about now…”
Jeong Hoe-soo said.
“I understand why such a spineless Jeong Hoesu did not come to fruition in the end. I guess you took your sister hostage. “I even threatened to turn her into a courtesan.”
The people in the room couldn’t figure out what was going on, so they just looked at each other’s faces.
Meanwhile, Cheon Byeong-moon spoke with a red-faced face.
“You… who are you?”
At that time, Jeong Hoesoo placed a hand under his chin.
And then… it’s like tearing off the skin!
Wow.
The fake elastic skin peeled off…
and surprisingly, there was a handsome young man smiling.
It was none other than Han Ibi.
“I don’t know if you’ll know who I am. Well, to put it simply, I am Yeohwaru’s new clerk.”
Cheon Byeong-moon asked back.
“what?”
“It turns out that Jeong Hoesoo is also a pitiful guy. Tsk tsk tsk. Anyway, this is the person who came in his place. i look forward to. My name is Yeo Hwaru and I am Commissioner Hanibi. “Louju was unwell, so I attended in her stead today.”
At that time, Cheon Byeong-moon shouted.
“What are you doing! “Without punishing the intruder!”
Then the guards of Yeonghwanru suddenly came to their senses and adjusted their weapons.
Han Ibi clicked her tongue again and said.
“Tsk tsk tsk. Wherever you go, there are foolish people like this. “You really shouldn’t regret it.”
At that time, a rugged security guard mercilessly brandished a sword as wide as his forearm.
Han Yi-bi stepped on the Bagua dodge several times and then said.
“I have carefully read the Rouge meeting mutual agreement…”
Boom.
The broad knife cut through the space fiercely, as if it would cut off Han Ibi’s head at any moment.
However, Han Ibi said while avoiding this with ease.
“…There is a mutual non-aggression pact between the two countries. However, if the opponent commits a harmful act first, response is possible within the scope of self-defense. Regarding this self-defense, it was decided after the fact by the ruling party excluding both sides… Oh, it’s complicated. So, if you get hit, you can hit me, right? “The rest can just be witnesses.”
At that moment, the large guard’s sword was raining down on Han Ibi.
But…
Isn’t Han Ibi actually jumping towards that knife?
However, the direction was strange, so I was looking at the broad side rather than the blade area.
In this case, it would be difficult to get more than a bruise.
earth.
Shout out loud.
With a loud sound, Han Ibi fell out of the tent and hit the wall of Yeonghwanru.
To anyone who could see it…
it looked like he jumped in on his own… but
then Cheon Byeong-moon shouted as if he was vomiting blood.
“oh my! “My porcelain!”
Yes.
There, precious large porcelains collected by Cheon Byeong-moon while running Giru were on display.
Everyone invested to upgrade the quality of the stoma…
But…
today, it ended up being destroyed by Han Ibi.
At that time, Hanibi was rising between the large vessels.
Exaggerated stumbling.
“Oh my gosh, I’m dying. Roujus.”
Han Ibi continued speaking with her eyes shining.
“Now this constitutes self-defense, right?”
