Episode 1339 What happened? (2)
Hu Jiaming repeatedly clenched and loosened his fists. My fingertips were tingling.
After a while, he opened his closed eyes.
‘What are the variables?’
Even after reviewing it ten or twenty times, there are no more variables left. However, he did not get tired and continued to look into the possibility of remaining variables.
‘does not exist.’
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind anymore. Even if it were Shaolin and not a volcano that was trapped inside, there would be no way to escape.
“Finally…”
A long sigh escaped from Hu Jiaming’s mouth.
After a long drive from Haenam to here, we finally succeeded in driving them into a dead end. After making so many sacrifices.
“Military!”
The faces of the lieutenants were also flushed.
It was a natural reaction for them to realize that a knife had finally been thrust to their throats. We have fallen into a swamp from which we can no longer escape, and now all that remains is slaughter.
However, Hu Jiaming’s complexion, who had done all of this, did not change at all from the beginning. I just look at the road between the mountains with cold eyes.
‘Green Forest King.’
The Green Forest King must have thought that he could control the situation and play around with it.
Because I have never experienced a proper defeat yet. Even though he was defeated due to the difference in troops due to lack of support, he must have been confident that he would never lose in a head-to-head fight.
It was Lim So-byeong’s arrogance that caught the attention of his family name.
‘This is what it’s like to fight in enemy territory.’
Noklim is accustomed to mountains. Among them, Lim So-byeong was particularly familiar with the terrain of mountains. So much so that one wonders if it has the topography of all the mountains in the world in its head.
However, even he would not have had the topography of Hundred Thousand Mountains in his mind. Because it is a place where green forests do not set foot.
Green forests are not people who live in the mountains. These are people who live in places where people come and go. Therefore, there is no reason to pay any attention to Hibmandaesan Mountain, which is deserted.
But the household name was not like that.
This is Guangdong, a place where the Ten Thousand Gangs have fought countless fierce battles. Even though I don’t know the inside of Hundred Thousand Days Mountain, I can clearly see the road leading from Guangdong to Great Mountain.
So there was only one thing that Hu Jiaming had to do.
Making them believe that they are choosing everything themselves.
“Military! Please give orders.”
“wait.”
“⋯⋯How⋯⋯?”
Hu Jiaming said, looking ahead with emotionless eyes.
“We have to wait until we know for sure that everyone has fallen into a trap. “If you don’t know that fact, it’s no different from fighting head-on.”
Hu Jiaming slowly and lightly clenched and unclenched his fist.
“Once they fully realize they have fallen into a trap, things will be different. “People usually fall into despair when that happens.”
“Ha, but wouldn’t it be possible to attack Bae Su-jin?”
“Fighting with your back to a cliff is completely different from being accidentally pushed onto a cliff. In the end, you become unable to do anything about the feeling of despair that comes over you. “Forcibly brought up heat can quickly cool down with even a small breeze.”
“Ah…”
“You just have to wait a little bit. “Just not for a long time.”
The adjutant’s fingertips trembled slightly.
The enemy, who had escaped their grasp like a rat, was finally driven back inside. However, even in this situation, Hu Jiaming was not the least bit excited and was looking at the situation calmly.
A calmness that they cannot even dare to imitate. This may be the reason why Hu Jia-myeong of Reading Mind Raksha became famous throughout the world.
“It would be nice if you wanted to run away.”
“Yes.”
Then, all you have to do is stab the people who climbed halfway up the cliff to their backs and kill them.
“Or… did you have this place in mind from the beginning?”
Hu Jiaming slightly frowned. He looked like he didn’t like the question. However, the adjutant was in a high mood and did not notice his expression.
Hu Jiaming responded with a light sigh.
“⋯⋯If I were Lord Ryeon, I would have done that.”
“What do you mean by that…?”
“It is possible if you are Lord Ryeon. “What a ridiculous thing to do, driving them all the way from Haenam to here.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But I am not Lord Ryeon. No, you can’t be Lord Ryeon. Because I’m just a criminal. So it’s not the same process, it just produces the same result.”
The adjutant tilted his head. I didn’t quite understand what Hu Jiaming’s words meant.
The process is different, so how can the result be the same?
“What if the results are the same?”
“There are more than ten terrains that could trap them on the way out of Guangdong.”
“⋯⋯.”
“This is just one of them. “If they had taken a different route, we would have driven them there.”
The adjutant looked blankly at Hu Jiaming.
Hu Jiaming said that he chose this method because he was not as good as Jang Ilso, but in the eyes of his adjutant, he could not tell which was greater.
In fact, this was a very natural thing for Hu Ga-myeong.
In order for a criminal to get involved in a fight with the great name of ‘heaven’ on the line, he has to struggle and struggle until his fingernails break.
If you can’t do that, you’ll end up as a person who doesn’t deserve to be by Jang Il-so’s side.
‘Lim So-byeong is still young.’
Of course, Green Forest King is amazing. However, in the end, So-byeong Lim also cannot escape the realm of ‘genius’.
Although Ho Ji-myeong immediately admitted that he was the culprit, Lim So-byeong was still confident that his brains were second to none in the world.
That difference led to the current result. Because he who is confident does not doubt his own victory.
“It’s time.”
Hu Jiaming slowly relaxed his clenched fist.
“Attack. “We must kill them all without leaving a single one behind.”
“yes!”
As soon as Hu Jiaming’s words were out, his lieutenants ordered an attack. The Maninbandos, baring their teeth like hounds waiting for their master’s command, began to run. It looked like silt falling from a landslide.
Ho Ga-myeong touched my lips, which had already become dry.
Clearly the variable does not exist. But there remains one possibility that he may not achieve his goal.
There is a possibility that those from Cheonwoomaeng will abandon Haenam and escape by climbing the cliff.
If they make that choice, it will be difficult to suffocate them here.
Originally, it is a variable that is not worth considering when considering Cheon Woo-maeng’s actions, but at this moment, we have no choice but to think about it.
Because the Hwasan Sword Association, and no one else, is losing consciousness.
The Hwasan Sword Association will definitely not back down, but the others cannot know. Because people reveal their true nature the moment they reach the end.
But…
‘If that happens, they won’t be able to be blind anymore.’
I know the nickname. Sometimes human value comes from something else that cannot be measured quantitatively.
That applies not only to them, but also to Jang Il-so.
Could Jang Il-so, who lost his leadership, be Jang Il-so? Will Jang Il-so, who has decided to forget ambition and be satisfied with reality, be able to exert the same influence as he has now?
Absolutely impossible.
Even if the power is the same… No, even if objective power increases, Jang Il-so will never be able to look beyond that.
Jang Il-so’s value lies in his cards themselves.
The same goes for them too.
If you abandon what you were trying to protect at the last moment and run away while barely holding on to your life, can you really say that you are blind to the blindness that you have been up to now?
At that moment they die.
Their lives may be saved, but Cheonwoo-maeng, which has built up a power equal to that of Gupailbang and put pressure on even the Sapaeryeon, will no longer exist.
Even if it is a path that the Hwasan Sword Association did not choose on its own, the responsibility will fall on the Hwasan Sword Association. At that moment, the political factions will lose their focus.
‘I’m curious.’
What choice will they make?
Are we going to keep the agreement we’ve always talked about so proudly and let it die, leaving only the name behind? Or will we save his pitiful life and dump his name on a pile of manure?
Hu Jiaming stared ahead with cold eyes.
The shouts and footsteps of the Maninbando penetrated his ears like music. Soon, someone’s screams will start to mix in.
‘Is what’s left to be done?’
In any case, the fact that he disobeyed Jang Il-so’s orders does not change. And the fact that he suffered enormous damage from a small number of enemies does not change.
So, of course, you have to take responsibility for it.
Even if he had to sacrifice his life in return, Hu Jiaming would never regret it.
If Jang Il-so can get one step closer to his great cause at the cost of his life, he is willing to smile even in the afterlife.
A faint smile appeared on Hu Jiaming’s lips. It seemed like he was smiling sincerely for the first time since his encounter with them.
But for some reason, the expected scream was not heard. Instead, a strange sight began to appear.
Some of the Ten Thousand Blades who had rushed into the canyon of Hundred Thousand Mountains came back outside and were running.
‘what?’
Status report? No, that wouldn’t be necessary, would it?
“Old military!”
Those who were meditated bowed down before him.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s gone.”
Hu Jiaming did not understand those words for a moment. I had all the numbers in my head and considered them, but the situation they reported was not among them, so I was confused.
“What do you mean?”
“They’re gone!”
Hu Jiaming looked blankly at the prostrate people and asked back.
“Live?”
“yes!”
“Disappeared?”
Those who prostrated held their breath. There was no way they didn’t know how absurd this situation was.
“You mean you climbed a cliff?”
“There is no sign of it! It literally disappeared. “Like a poetic mirage…”
“Say that!”
Hu Jiaming roared like a thunderbolt. Everyone looked at him in shock. I swear it was the first time they had seen Hu Jiaming raise his voice like this.
“Get out of the way!”
Hu Jiaming, who pushed away the prostrate people as if kicking them, ran directly to that place.
‘This cannot happen!’
If only the Cheonwoo Maengdo had disappeared, leaving Haenam behind, we could at least understand. However, it makes no sense that all of Haenam’s disciples disappeared.
How is such a thing possible unless you really become a hermit and create harmony?
impossible. That can’t happen!
However, after a while, all that Hu Jiaming encountered was the stupid faces of the Maninbangdos, who were looking around in confusion, not knowing what to do.
There really wasn’t.
The high cliffs and steep mountains remain the same, but the Haenam people are nowhere to be seen. It disappeared as if it had risen into the sky.
“This…”
Hu Jiaming’s hands began to tremble as if he were suffering from a disease.
how? How can this happen? how?
Hu Jiaming, who had always been cold and indifferent, looked around in despair as if he had lost his mind.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
After a while he started pulling his hair out. Her hair, which had been neatly organized, became strands and fell down.
If something happens that cannot be accepted as common sense, there is a definite story behind why it happened.
“Hwa… mountain sword… cooperative….”
An animal-like howl came out of Hu Jiaming’s mouth.
“Volcanic black tongue!”
His scream rose up the cliff and into the sky, resounding desperately.
