Episode 863 They say I don’t know where I am, but I know where I am. (3)
“Kill!”
“You dirty Sapa bastards!”
A huge boulevard with passers-by coming and going. In the middle of it all, people armed with frightening weapons fought fiercely.
Cheaeng! visor!
Weapon and weapon collided, and blood was instantly sprayed everywhere.
“Oh my! “What is this?”
“Hey!”
The civilians were frightened by the stabbing that occurred in broad daylight and ran away. However, the merchants who had engaged in a melee were anxious as they could not leave their goods and run away.
They eventually retreated to a corner and looked at the strong men who were huddled together and viciously swinging their swords.
“What kind of mess is this!”
“Not for one day or two!”
Just a few years ago, it was impossible to see strong men fighting in the middle of the street. But unfortunately, this kind of thing is now happening not only here in Hanam but also in various places in Gangbuk.
“Aaaahhh!”
One of those who was fighting fiercely was hit in the chest with a knife and fell out bleeding.
The merchants closed their eyes tightly at the terrible sight.
It was very difficult for people who had lived simple lives their whole lives to watch with open eyes as a person swinging a weapon at another person and the person’s hot blood splattering everywhere.
Kwadangtangtang!
The body of the fallen person hit the street vendor. In an instant, the stall shattered and the fruits that had been piled up flew everywhere.
“oh my!”
It may be like a lightning strike to a merchant, but who doesn’t know that their life is more important than that piece of fruit?
“You damn bastards!”
“Let’s see the end today!”
Even at a glance, these rough-looking people had original poison in their eyes. Those who faced that ferocious force did not give up and rushed towards them.
But at that very moment.
“Stop!”
Quang!
Along with a solemn voice, there was a dull explosion as if a chunk of rock had fallen from a cliff.
Those who were fighting fiercely stopped for a moment and turned their heads.
When they saw a group of warriors approaching, various expressions appeared on their faces.
It has to be that way.
There are only a few people who can be calm even after seeing that yellow yellow cloth in Gangho. There are many temples and many monks in the world, but there is only one place where they wear yellow robes.
Shaolin.
Shaolin, the leader of the Gupa Ilbang and the North Head of Kangho, appeared here.
Jerk. Jerk.
Hyebang of Shaolin, who had led his disciples, frowned and looked at the messed up street.
Soon a deep sigh flowed from his mouth.
According to logic, the words that should come out of his mouth at this moment would be ‘What’s going on?’ But he didn’t feel the need to say those words.
This was because I already knew clearly how things were going.
“Disciples, listen.”
“yes!”
“Suppress all those making a disturbance and transport them to Shaolin!”
“yes!”
“line!”
One of them who heard that shouted loudly. The word righteousness was clearly engraved on the left chest of the dust-stained white coat.
“I am Kwak Sojong of the Uihyeolmun Gate! “This happened because those damned Sectarians started a fight. How can you treat us like that Sect without even considering the dispute?”
Uihyeolmun is one of the small and medium-sized political factions based in Hanam. Although it is not a Shaolin clan, it is also a place that has had a deep relationship with the secular clan since ancient times.
When Kwak Sojong, the owner of the Uihyeolmun Gate, asked the question openly, a look of fatigue flashed across Hyebang’s face.
“…Moonju. “Didn’t you hear the manager’s message that those who cause trouble in Hanam will not be tolerated for any reason?”
“Holy shit. So, are you saying that we should suck our fingers and watch those damn Sapa bastards who are trying to rob the civilians in the place where the Uihyeolmun Gate is located?”
When Kwak So-jong protested, raising blood in his neck, a deep sigh escaped Hye-bang’s mouth.
“If something like that happens, didn’t you ask me to tell Shaolin?”
“How on earth do you expect Shaolin to come and wait for it? “It’s not like I said it once or twice!”
Hyebang shook his head.
“Right or wrong, the guardians of the headquarters will weigh in. “I’m just following the room leader’s orders, so I hope you understand.”
“damn!”
Guo Xiaozong’s face was cruelly distorted.
Shaolin arrived quickly and the fight ended briefly, so the damage was not significant. But that doesn’t mean it’s completely non-existent. I could clearly see some of the disciples bleeding.
In such a situation, it would not be easy to put down the knife and step away. Especially in cases like this where you can believe you are justified.
But at least in Hanam, Shaolin’s will is absolute.
“Put down your weapons and step back. “For now, we cooperate with Shaolin.”
“…yes.”
The disciples who heard the command glanced at Hyebang with eyes filled with dissatisfaction, then turned their heads away.
For a moment, Hyebang felt like a dark cloud was filling her heart.
Just a few years ago, would Shaolin have received such attention in Hanam?
He chanted briefly. Anyway, now is not the time to get caught up in these feelings. Because you never know what might be happening somewhere else at this very moment.
“You should also go to the headquarters together.”
Hyebang’s eyes turn to one side.
Unlike Uihyeolmun, who could be said to be cooperative even though he was showing his dissatisfaction, the gaze of the group on the other side towards Hyebang was just cruel.
“Damn middle-class guy, you talk so much. “Why should we cooperate with what you say?”
Hyebang sighs deeply.
‘I can’t possibly understand the owner’s intentions with my small discipline. ‘Why does the manager leave them alone?’
Those who revealed this are, of course, Safa people.
Of course, the Safa people were not that unfamiliar to Hyebang. Even in Hanam, where the influence of Shaolin was strong, Sapa clearly existed.
However, they should have been called Heukdo rather than Sapa. Wherever people live, there are dark corners, and those who live as parasites in such places inevitably form groups.
However, these people were different from the schools of thought that Hyebang knew. Those who came to Gangbuk to escape the Sapaeryeon were as harsh as Yasha and did not show even the slightest respect for Shaolin and the old school.
“What will you do?”
Polite but harsh words. This was not only because of fatigue from the situation, but also because of the irritation and hostility Hyebang felt towards them.
“Hehe. You know how to get angry about middle-aged people. “I heard that people with thick faces don’t get angry very often.”
“Mug?”
“Okay mug! You middle-aged bastard! If you think about it, the reason we are struggling here is because of you Shaolin bastards! “Even if you hadn’t let loose the reins on the Sapae-ryeon, we wouldn’t have come all the way here to avoid those bastards!”
“….”
“If you come to a foreign country, isn’t it natural to find a way to make a living? Are you telling me to do nothing and starve to death? Don’t talk nonsense! If that were the case, I wouldn’t have risked my life to run all the way to Gangbuk. “I would rather die fighting than suck my fingers and starve to death!”
It’s plausible, but if you think about it, it’s not worth thinking about.
Just because you steal to avoid starving to death doesn’t mean it isn’t a crime. No, if you are a decent person in the first place, you would not think of making a living by stealing from others.
There was no way such words could be an excuse for Hye-bang, who had been subject to the strict discipline of Shaolin.
“So you won’t follow me?”
“Hehe. “I heard that Shaolin guys don’t have swords in their bodies?”
Hyebang’s expression turned cold.
“Civil Service.”
“Yes Sasuk!”
“Suppress them and transport them all away!”
“yes!”
As soon as those words were finished, Shaolin’s disciples immediately rushed towards the Safa people holding weapons. It was a bloody face that did not suit someone who was supposed to preach mercy.
“You damn bastards!”
“I will rip off the shell!”
“Suppress them at once!”
In the end, Hyebang looked at the fight that broke out again and briefly shouted his displeasure.
“Amitabha…”
He and the Shaolin disciples were running around until their feet were sweating, but the confusion in Hanam was getting worse.
At first, it was thought that only the factions that had come from Gangbuk were going wild, but now not only the factions that had been located in Hanam from the beginning, but even the political factions that had become extremely nervous were breaking Shaolin’s will and causing trouble.
It feels like pouring water into a bottomless pot. We are trying our best to stabilize Hanam, but the situation is getting worse.
Hye-bang, who was worried, soon shook her head violently.
‘Think not.’
I forced myself to shake off the thought that perhaps all of this was happening because Shaolin’s reputation was not what it was in the past. And then I sighed and walked away.
No matter how difficult it is, it will eventually come to an end someday. So, until then, we have no choice but to keep trying and trying again.
* * *
Jump up!
The door opened violently.
“large!”
The person who opened the door and entered wrinkled his face. The strong smell of alcohol made me feel dizzy for a moment.
“large! “Wake up, formation!”
The top floor of Hwahwaru, the most spectacular kiru in the ancient capital.
The man who occupied the most expensive room was lying on a large luxurious bed.
“Ah, large! “I want you to wake up and take a look!”
The man who had been sleeping as if he were dead twitched around his eyes and slowly pushed up his eyelids.
“…Damn it.”
He asked in a cracked voice, holding his head as if he was crying.
“What? from morning.”
“large. “Jeokma Bang (赤馬房), who had gone to sort out those who were suspected of being Uihyeolmun or something, was taken away by the Shaolin bastards.”
“….”
“What should I do?”
“Ha…”
The man reached out and grabbed the bottle of alcohol lying on the bed. But no matter how hard I tried to shake it off, there wasn’t a single drop of alcohol left.
Annoyed, he threw the bottle and looked at the person who came to report.
“Aso (兒疎).”
“yes?”
“Do you have any money?”
“Where do I get my money? “Didn’t you spend all my remaining emergency funds just because you’re playing here?”
“…It did.”
“If those red horse stables had done their job properly, they would have collected a lot of money by now, but they were all wrong. Now, even if you wash your eyes, you won’t find a place to make money! That’s why I told you not to come to Hanam!”
“Tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue.
“Stop talking stupid things, you idiot. Is there anywhere in Gangbuk that is worth it? Should I go to Hubei, where all these bastards are running wild? Or should we go to Hebei, where the emperor is? Or is it Sacheon like Yongdamhohyeol?”
“….”
“It’s the same wherever, wherever.”
Hearing those words, the person who came to report took a deep breath and asked.
“…So what do we do now? “This is the only way I can’t properly settle down in Hanam.”
“You’re saying something obvious.”
The man chuckled and laughed.
“It worked out better. “If you feel like you can’t find a place, just give up.”
“yes?”
“Now that we have a rough understanding, let’s take a big hit.”
“One bowl?”
The man’s eyes sparkled.
“Now is the time to retire. When rain comes, my back still hurts from getting hit by that guy Jang Il-so…” “
So are you planning on stealing?”
“okay. It is theft. “Gather everyone you can.”
“How much?”
“all!”
The person who heard that frowned.
“…no. If you say this, people with red eyes will already gather like a cloud, so where are you going to lead them? “If you rob most places, you won’t even get a bad review.”
“It’s a big place. Very big place.”
The man’s eyes turned to the west.
“Wouldn’t you like to earn enough money to live on for the rest of your life if you give up at least one of the top ten in the world?”
“Poetry Teen Top?”
“okay. I have a plan. “Attract all those who are interested in my name.”
“Oh, I understand. large!”
It can’t be easy to gather people without a proper plan. However, the person who heard this nodded without questioning and ran outside.
It’s natural.
The person who said this was none other than Guido Moo-jeong (鬼刀無情) Galcheon-rip (葛千立), one of the Gangseo Seven Killers.
If the words of Galcheonrip, who was famous for fighting with Jang Il-so in the past, are said, a flock of hungry wolves will gather around with hungry bellies.
The ancient city of Luoyang.
Black clouds were rolling into the sky of Luoyang.
