Episode 1463. This is what we saw? (3)
“This….”
A saint that was once swept away by Cheon Woo-maeng. After hearing the news, the face of Seok-hong, who came running late, was cruelly distorted.
“You idiot…”
My fingertips were trembling. The corpses lying everywhere are not a problem. Those miscellaneous things can be replenished at any time.
What is important is that the saint they took over was brutally trampled at the hands of Cheon Yu-maeng.
“Great Lord!”
The survivors of Maninbang, who had barely escaped their lives, rushed forward. At the same time, a murderous spirit bloomed in Seokhong’s eyes.
“Where are they?”
“It was already a long time ago…”
“What about the chase?”
The subordinates lowered their heads without answering. Seokhong’s face was distorted miserably.
“Are you saying you didn’t even set up a chase team? “What on earth have you done!”
“The chase… was pointless. “They are the lords of the Cheonwoomaeng faction, including Cheongmyeong of the Hwasan Sword Association, so even if they pursue them…”
“This…”
The sound of Seokhong grinding his teeth came out. For a moment, their hair was sore and they lowered their heads as if they were about to hit the ground.
“so? Are you saying that he gave up the chase and was unable to fight back, shaking like a rat? “What about the things called ‘Mundo of all peoples’?”
“With force majeure…”
“irresistible force?”
“But I didn’t lose much of my wealth. “Because the number of them is small…”
“What did you say?”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
Seokhong glared at the person who spoke with a stern expression.
“Are you saying they have even robbed the saints of their wealth?”
“That…”
“What about the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? What happened to the Four Sea Merchants? Danju clearly ordered us to keep a close watch on them!”
The faces of those standing in front turned pale.
“Answer me. What happened to the Four Sea Merchants?”
“Those Cheonwoomaeng bastards…”
“what?”
“The Cheonwoo-Maeng guys took them all…”
Paaaaat!
The pottery stretched out like a sword and pierced the human body. Blood poured out like a fountain from the bodies of those who collapsed in two without even being able to scream.
Clutter.
I ground my teeth until Seokhong broke. Red blood appeared in both eyes.
“These damn Cheonwoo-Maeng bastards! “Aaaah!”
His angry shouts echoed through the streets of Chengdu.
❀ ❀ ❀
Inside a tent so luxurious that it’s hard to believe it was set up temporarily.
Hu Jiaming stared at Jang Il-so on a large chair covered in leopard skin. Jang Il-so’s face was clearly frozen with his eyes closed. The change is not so minor that only the family name is recognizable. It was so obvious that anyone could see it.
It is truly rare for Jang Il-so to show that kind of expression in front of others.
“⋯⋯Ryeonju.”
Hu Jiaming broke the long silence and opened his mouth.
“First of all, we mobilized as many people as possible and sent them to Chengdu, so we will be able to suppress them soon. “Don’t be too concerned.”
However, Hu Jiaming thought what he said was quite funny. What difference would it make if we gathered troops? It is certain that they will ravage the city and retreat even before the reinforcements sent by Hu Jiaming arrive.
‘Damn it.’
Neither Jang Il-so nor Ho Ga-myeong are foolish at all. We were already considering the possibility that enemies would target the members who had left a vacuum.
However, what they failed to think about was not the enemy’s attack, but the members of those who attacked. No one in the world would be able to imagine that ridiculous small elite.
‘Cheonwoomaeng.’
Some people might think it’s not particularly great. You might think that they did not reoccupy the capital, but merely broke into a house while the owner was away and broke things.
However, Hu Ga-myeong did not think so.
The scars they carved into the Sapaeryeon by scratching the saints were bigger and more deadly than expected.
What will change if Sapaeryun takes control of Sacheon?
Acquiring Sacheon will not make the Sapae-ryeon stronger. However, this does not mean that Sapaeryun is in need as it needs supplies from Sacheon right away.
Nevertheless, the reason why this fact rings an alarm throughout the world is because it serves as evidence that the power of the Four Heavenly Kingdoms is strong enough to trample and take over Sichuan.
Sometimes appearance is more important than actual power. By taking control of Sacheon, Sapaeryeon gained enormous benefits beyond defeating Ami, Cheongseong, and Jeomchang.
But now, due to the moves made by Cheon Woo-maeng, part of the tower that had been built with great care collapsed tragically.
Those who saw these guys running rampant in Chengdu will think: The Sapaeryun has the power to trample on Sacheon, but it does not have the power to protect it.
“Whoa.”
A sigh escaped from Hu Jiaming’s mouth. Now is not the time to be thinking like this.
“Ryeonju. If you are really worried, I will lead the troops and go to Seongdo. Then…”
At that moment, Jang Il-so opened his closed eyes.
Hu Jiaming flinched without realizing it. The look in Jang Il-so’s eyes for a moment was cold enough to make even him, who had been with him for a long time, cringe.
“What is lost is lost. “Even if you hold on to someone who has fallen and cry, it will not bring the dead person back to life.”
Hu Ga-myeong was also fully aware of that fact. But…
“Even so, it wouldn’t be meaningless.”
“Hmm.”
A short nasal sound comes out from Jang Il-so’s mouth. It is not a happy nasal sound as always, but a heavy nasal sound that makes the listener feel uncomfortable.
“Your senses have become dull too, pseudonym.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“The saints were attacked and lost more than you think. Gupa and Cheonwoo-maeng both had something to say after this incident. And they are the ones who can take full advantage of that fact. “What’s so great about a sip of water is that it can change fate if the person who got it was dying from dryness.”
Hu Jiaming’s face hardened. It seemed that Jang Il-so was taking this situation more seriously than he thought.
“Then, Lord Ryeon. “We…”
“but!”
At that moment, a strong and decisive voice burst from Jang Il-so’s mouth. It was a voice that sent a chill down my spine.
“If you lose it, just find it again. That’s not important. “There are other things that are really important.”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes were filled with doubt. Jang Il-so’s voice calmed down.
“What has changed?”
His pure white eyebrows were wrinkled.
“I mean, it can’t happen. If they were the same old people, they would never have become saints. Even if they came, they would have dragged all those who were present and those who were absent and shed tears.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But what has changed that allows us to use this tactic? Did I misunderstand these guys called Cheon Woo-maeng?”
Only then did Hu Jiaming understand what Jang Ilso had said.
It’s so basic.
Failure is painful. It is even more important to correct that failure. However, if you look at it from a long-term perspective, failures and losses are trivial.
What really matters is the cause. You need to figure out why something like this happened so you can avoid repeating the same mistake.
“Don’t they think the party members are more important than expected? “Maybe there was something hidden in the royal palace of the Tang family that I didn’t know about…”
Jang Il-so did not answer.
Usually, Jang Il-so scolded or burst into laughter when Hu Ji-myeong’s words went against his thoughts. But now, Jang Il-so is coldly trampling on even Hu Jia-myeong’s words.
Isn’t this proof that Jang Il-so’s thoughts and feelings are greater than Hu Ga-myeong’s expectations?
“benefit. authority. stratagem. tendency.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Could it be explained by things like that?”
Jang Il-so muttered slowly.
“A pseudonym.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon.”
“This is my first time.”
“⋯⋯What do you mean?”
A rough voice, as if scraping metal, came out of Jang Il-so’s mouth.
“It feels like someone is playing on top of my head.”
“⋯⋯.”
“When I say my stomach is twisted, I’m talking about something like this.”
A bitter look of murder appeared on Jang Il-so’s face.
Hu Jiaming could not understand him at all. The Sapaeryun racked up enormous criminal records. Although it is painful to see the saints attacked, the victor of this war is Sapaeryeon and the long-term mission does not change. The world will curse and praise Jang Il-so.
But why does Jang Il-so focus on a minor mistake rather than a huge victory?
“Haha.”
Clutter.
At that moment, the armrest of the chair Jang Il-so was holding was crushed. At the same time, the leopard skin covering the chair was torn and flying.
“It’s hard to bear it, pseudonym. “I feel like I’m clawing my stomach with a knife when I think about how he’s laughing at the fact that he beat me.”
“Ryeonju-nim…”
Grumbling. Red blood flows from Jang Il-so’s tightly bitten lips.
The moment his red lips turned even darker red, Jang Il-so’s oily eyes became distorted.
“Volcano Sword Association…”
It is clearly drawn. The face of the Hwasan Sword Association laughing at him. Those mocking eyes.
“Hwasan Sword Association.”
A hateful voice came out like a moan.
❀ ❀ ❀
“Hehehe.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Hehehehehe.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Hehehehehehe!”
Those pulling the cart looked at a person on top of the cart with a soulless face.
“Hehehehe! It sparkles! Shine! Hehehehe! Glitter!”
Jo Woong, the Grand Prince of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, who was walking carefully with them, cautiously asked his younger brother.
“Well… just be sorry. “I heard about it, but I’m asking again just in case… So, who is that person?”
“⋯⋯That’s right.”
“No… It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that…”
“No, that’s right! “That person… is the best expert on that volcano.”
Then Oh Geom, who was next to Jo Geol, helplessly opened his mouth and helped.
“Cheil Review Index High School.”
“Cheon Woo-maeng’s total accident.”
“That’s what the Sapae-Ryun finds most disturbing…”
Jo Woong’s gaze returned again. Cheongmyeong, who was sitting on top of the sparkling wealth, was now scattering the gold items he was holding over his head.
“Hehehehehehe! It’s money! money! It’s money! “What kind of rice cake is this?”
⋯⋯Jo Woong’s hands trembled slightly. That? That human… No, is that something that is a bit too human to be called?
“Maybe…”
“That’s right, a Taoist monk.”
“⋯⋯Then perhaps⋯⋯.”
“yes. That’s how it is. “It’s not like I got hurt or got into trouble.”
Jo Woong was speechless. Ogum even glanced up at Cheongmyeong and nodded as if he was glad.
“I’m still in good condition today.”
“Even if they don’t say anything, it seems like they’ve become more comfortable after going through some trouble in Seongdo. “If I had that much money when I was impatient and angry, I would have been taking a bath there.”
“I know.”
Jo Woong’s eyes trembled. Jogeol shrugged his shoulders and spoke to his brother.
“Don’t worry, brother.”
“huh? what are you talking about?”
Jo Geol smiled.
“Even though he looks like that, he is more trustworthy than you think.”
“Hehehehehehe!”
“He has a pretty dependable side and is more serious than I thought.”
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
“I’m learning a lot too. “He’s someone you can trust, so keep an eye on him too.”
“It’s money! money! “It’s free money!”
“⋯⋯.”
Transparent tears welled up in Jo Woong’s eyes as he looked alternately at the smiling Jo Geol and the glowing Cheong Myeong.
“Walk…”
What on earth have you been fighting all these years… It was the first time I regretted sending my younger brother to the volcano.
