Episode 413:
Equal attack is easy to talk about. There are not many martial arts fighters who can do equal battle in Gangho.
No matter how expert you are, if your ship sinks in the middle of the sea, you have no choice but to hold on to a piece of wood.
Gongsunhyeon’s thin body was twisted in a bizarre direction.
That’s her habit.
“If the Gongsun family that took over the Yunlongpio Bureau were to advance into Shandong Province along the Yellow River waterway, they would definitely try to interfere. However, I think they would be reluctant to collide head-on.”
“….”
What came out of her mouth next was unexpected.
“However, they may be able to form a joint alliance with the two major families of Shandong Province.”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee’s expression darkened.
“Are you saying that the martial arts clan and the noble clan are joining hands under the water?”
“That’s right. “Do you think you can’t do it?”
Jin Cheon-hee was speechless at her question.
Even major religions slaughter people while shouting God’s name. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t seem strange that people called political factions do this behind the scenes.
‘Murim Sega means a group of people who make gold with swords.’
I know that as long as the sword is just, I will never be able to earn that much gold.
Gongsunhyeon said.
“You’re not that surprised.”
“The river is wide and deep, so I try not to make clumsy judgments based on village doctors’ standards.”
At those words, Gongsunhyeon thought a little.
‘As expected… we can communicate well.’
First of all, we respect Gongsunhyeon’s judgment without interfering or contradicting him.
The reason was simple. This is because Baekrin Uigak does not know that place.
It is right to give priority to the judgment of those who know and have experience in this area.
However, how many strong people are there to protect it?
In that sense, Jin Cheon-hee was the best business partner.
Gongsunhyeon continued speaking in a much more relaxed voice.
“So, we came up with a plan to draw them all in and make a complete strike, and that is the Sangokchuje system.”
Sanggokchu Festival.
It was a plan to lure them to the roof and then remove the ladder. It was a strategy of the twenty-eight precepts, which belongs to the combat strategy (竝戰計) among the thirty-six precepts.
This plan had the meaning of deliberately creating a loophole to lure the enemy, then surrounding and defeating him. Although it seemed similar to Jo Hoisan’s plan used by Jin Tianxi and Zhuge Lin in the past, it was different in detail.
‘As expected, Gongsunhyeon is a scary opponent when he becomes an enemy.’
I felt that she was watching Jin Cheon-hee’s reaction with eyes that were even blacker than the silk black clothes.
Did you understand it? If so, how far did you go?
So, is it possible to predict future plans?
‘You’re testing me as a strategist.’
Jin Cheon-hee continued speaking.
“In the end, you are saying that they will bring in Sujeok, Hwangbo-se, and the Shandong Musicians to make a complete strike. For that to happen, the bait must be plausible. “If you really have to resort to such measures, wouldn’t you be able to do without me?”
Realizing Jin Cheon-hee’s intention, she chuckled.
“Even if you make an all-out attack, the enemy will run away and their treasures will remain intact, leaving behind trouble. I hope Sogakju can help you with that. Of course, please also act as bait.”
‘You’re not hiding it. Well, it’s worth the price.’
The reason why the Gongsun family paid such a price to Baeklin’s Pavilion was to take something of that amount.
It wasn’t that difficult for Jin Cheon-hee.
“It’s a bait role. As expected… I understand.”
“Then, a detailed plan.”
She muttered a small plan with her twisted lips.
Upon hearing that, Jin Cheonhee’s face showed a slight expression of disapproval.
“Uh… do we really have to go that far?”
“yes. “It has to be perfect.”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched his head and then nodded.
“Huh… I understand.”
I guess I shouldn’t meet anyone I know until work is done.
Jin Cheon-hee prayed earnestly in her heart.
Martial arts novels have a tradition that has been passed down from its roots.

The topography of Liaoning Province is very unique, with a long protruding area to the southeast.
There is a city called Dalian here, a port city and one of the main bases of the Gongsun family.
Through here, ships go to Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and even Guangdong.
Because it travels throughout the southeastern region of the empire, the scope of its trade is so wide that it goes beyond imagination.
Of course, it only affects the beaches and ports.
Since there are separate forces controlling the area on land, it is difficult to extend influence inland.
Even so, the seas in the eastern and southeastern regions of the empire are under the control of the Gongsun family.
Even pirates, represented by Japanese pirates, are said to be busy running away when they see the flag of the Gongsun family.
And a ship departed from the port of Dalian.
The ship went straight ahead, headed towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Shandong Province, and stopped for a while to drop off the ship’s guests.
“I heard that the Gongsun Family of the World is taking a special guest on a river cruise?”
Starting with the words of one reporter, other rumors began to spread.
“I heard that a princess from a foreign country asked the Gongsun family to go on a sightseeing trip to Jianghu using the messengers of the Cloud Dragon Symbol as a treasure trove.”
“I heard it’s not just a sightseeing trip?”
“Huh, what does that mean?”
“There are rumors that the ship is carrying a thousand crowns of gold.”
“If you just listen to it, it’s a very suspicious rumor.”
“However, it is true that gorgeous ships have been sighted, and there are also people who say they have seen a beautiful foreign princess. “The port officer was surprised to see that too.”
A witness. It would be a different story if it was a government official who saw it.
“Hang-gwan? “Is it real?”
“Besides, the sound of chilhyeongeum is so beautiful that I heard that many people are troubled by the tune heard from the ship at night.”
“Huh….”
“They say it’s a song I’ve never heard before, but it’s a sad song that seems to contain a love story between a man and a woman.”
“She is a mysterious woman.”
Each of the ambassadors said a word with a dazed expression.

There are a total of four ditches on the Yellow River in Shandong Province.
These four lenders gathered together and started a meeting.
There were two masked people sitting between each of the most vicious lenders.
The lenders seemed to know the identity of the masked people, but the masked people kept their faces covered until the end.
[The bastards of political factions are absolutely disgusting.]
[Isn’t making money with a sword an attempt to live a good life with a facade of the same thing?]
For Safa, power is law.
The strongest among his enemies became the lender, and as long as he became the lender, he could be said to be a considerable expert.
Facing them, the masked people didn’t seem to be scared at all.
Rather, he just acted calmly, as if he wanted to start a fight.
[Are these messengers sent from Hwangbo Sega and Shandong Akga?]
[That is definitely true. Of course, if you ask him directly, he will deny it.]
[If this is the case, how good it would be if both the Hwangbo family and the Shandong music family gathered together under the numerical flag.]
[Stop talking nonsense. The authors are people who make money that cannot be compared to our numbers. Why would you want to kill a family by undermining its family’s prestige?]
‘Then what you are doing now is not a fraud?’
The lenders exchanged glances with each other.
But whatever they complain about means nothing.
No matter how much they hunt people and sell them as slaves, they can’t even reach the wealth held by the large corporations.
One masked person said.
“You’re escorting a princess from a foreign country. “If we succeed in this act, the name of the Gongsun family will be raised even higher.”
“Yes, that’s right. But maybe it’s just a bait.”
“….”
The masked man was lost in thought for a moment. Another masked person next to me said.
“It can be real or it can be bait. There’s already been a lot of commotion going on over there. Wouldn’t it be to our benefit if we make that policy fail and drive them out of Shandong Province?”
“If you say bait…?”
At those words, the masked person spoke in a husky voice.
“If our guesses are true. Judging by her appearance, there is a high possibility that she is a female expert from Bothamun. Botamun is filled with experts who have been good at using swords for generations. Among them, someone with outstanding looks and excellent swordsmanship could have stepped forward and dressed up as the princess of a foreign country.”
“That makes sense. “I thought it might be bait too.”
The person to be used as bait had to have sword skills himself.
After selecting female experts from the two generations who could do this kind of work at this time, and among them, those whose whereabouts were unclear, the only one left was Botamun.
“If you are a female player in Bothamun, it is definitely difficult to keep track of who is active and where. “It’s because it moves through Bottapyoguk in the first place.”
“Has Bota Pyo Bureau had any contact with Gongsun Sega recently?”
“There was. We also found a witness. However, it is not clear whether the princess of a foreign country is an expert there.”
“Nine times out of ten, you’ll be right. I’ve searched for all the other female masters, but there aren’t many of them who can spare this much time, even though their whereabouts are unknown. “Wouldn’t it be possible to find out the location through the Murim Alliance just by pressing the three-pointed line?”
Hearing those words, the lenders felt somewhat disgusted.
[The Murim League is also watching out for those guys.]
[They probably don’t know why they got the information from Samjeolchuho. At most, they would have made an excuse that they wanted to provide support as an ally.]
[Ugh…]
[A day or two of enemy hunting? Brother. We can just watch the ritual and eat rice cake next to the authors. Even if it’s just bait, it’s good because you can get gold, and if the princess of a foreign country is real, it’s even better because you can get ransom.]
Anyway, as long as you hold a sword and make money with the blood of the common people, there is nothing to hesitate about.
The only thing that matters is whether you can do it or not.
Since the two major corporations decided to actively help, there was no reason for the creditors to refuse.
“i look forward to. “I’ll be better.”
The lenders bowed servilely.
The masked man answered those words arrogantly.
“I understand. “Please let us know.”
That was the end of the meeting between Hwang Bo-sega and four Shandong musicians, Chae-ju.
* * *
The lower reaches of the Yellow River.
In other words, the ship arrived at the mouth of the port city, the area where the sea and river meet.
A beautiful woman stepped down, leaving behind a picturesque landscape where freshwater and seawater meet.
Jeopuk –
And to her left and right, two handsome male warriors came down together as if to escort her.
The beauty’s face was not visible because she wore cotton, but the blurred facial lines clearly showed that she was a person of peerless beauty.
The two guard warriors standing next to him also attracted people’s attention with their bold appearance.
“What a handsome man and woman!”
“Who do you think is the person wearing the cotton yarn?”
“Shh, put your finger down.”
“The secretaries say that he was the first customer of the staff business that started when the Gongsun family took over the Cloud Dragon Bureau. “I heard she was a princess from a foreign country.”
“Even though her face is covered with cotton, the elegance she exudes clearly makes her a princess.”
“Then the handsome men on both sides will be safe as escorts for the princess.”
