Episode 835. Have you ever seen a cloud?
The serial killer hurriedly said to the heartache.
“Old Sim! Tell the escort lord. You may go first, but I said I will stay in Luoyang for a while.”
“yes!”
I didn’t ask why because I had heartache.
It was clear that taking care of his brother-in-law should take precedence over the upper rank of the younger brother.
Yeonjeokha and heartache got off the carriage almost at the same time.
While Yeon Je-ha went to He Xiao-baek, Sim Tong ran to the head of the troupe.
It was clear that if the escort master found out about this, he too would try to stay in Luoyang.
“Sobaek.”
Yeonjeokha frowned.
Seeing her up close, her condition was even worse.
There were numerous marks of knife cuts not only on the face but also on the upper body.
No matter how strong the checkup, it was not common to actually go around being stabbed like this.
“what’s the matter? Who did this?”
Ha So-baek, conscious of the eyes of the people around him, led Yeon Jeok-ha to a nearby tea house.
Ha So-baek spoke as she was afraid to sit down.
“I heard that my older brother is in Mt. Cheongseong right now? Where have you been? Not too long ago, word spread that my brother had died.”
“Did there be a rumor that I was dead?”
“yes. Famous schools fly around, but my brother suddenly disappears, so rumors spread.”
“no. How did you go so far It hasn’t been a few months since I came back to Gangho.”
“So that’s how rumors spread. It must have been so far away that I couldn’t reach you?”
“Oh, very far. I was lucky to come back. anyways what happened to you Who did you fight with?”
“ha! I heard rumors that my brother was in Mt. Cheongseong and thought about whether I should visit him, but I’m really glad.”
“What is it?”
At Yeon Jeok Ha’s urging, a clerk approached with a steaming teapot.
Hasobak waited for the clerk to return before speaking.
“You know that Chaeyeon and I work at Taepyeong Sangbang, right?”
“know.”
“Last year, Chaeyeon and Cheolsan got married. In the summer of that year, Chaeyeon unnie quit Sangbang. Because I have a baby. On behalf of such an older sister, Cheolsan’s older brother often helped me go up.”
“Iron acid? Didn’t that guy teach martial arts at the Heavenly Gate?”
“Because Heavenly Gate has signed an escort contract with Taiping Sangbang. All of the disciples of Heaven’s Gate have gone over to Taiping Sangbang. That’s why Cheolsan’s older brother helped me from time to time.”
“You did? Taiping Sangbang is in Wuhan. Why are you in Luoyang like that?”
“In the past, when Cheolsan’s older brother fought against Chilsangmun, he won because he helped him, right? After that, Heavenly Gate and Taiping Sangbang became very famous. As Sangbang developed, we even set up a branch in Luoyang.”
“Did you come across a band of bandits on your way to Luoyang?”
“yes. You know Nangsan too, right? In Yeoyang County.”
“know.”
Yeoyang-hyeon is close to Obongsan, so he knows the situation of the area well.
“I met a group of bandits while passing Nangsan.”
“There was a group of bandits in Nangsan?”
Yeonjeokha tilted her head.
This is because Nangsan was a small mountain, making it difficult for bandits to hide.
“There was. In fact, Cheolsan’s older brother and I took Nangsan lightly. Since the mountain is small, there will be no large group of bandits. Shoplifters won’t even show up in front of us.”
“Were you with Cheolsan?”
“yes. Cheolsan’s older brother led the escort. Then, I met about 10 thieves in Nangsan. Since there were 30 escorts, we had the upper hand in numbers. But it was too strong. To the extent that just one person took down Cheolsan’s brother and ten escorts with one sword. The other escorts and merchants who saw it ran away. I ran away carrying my fainting older brother on my shoulders.”
“Is he also in Luoyang now?”
“no. Those who fled regrouped in Yeoyang County. Fortunately, Cheolsan’s older brother got up without any major injuries. They said he suffered internal injuries while blocking the sword.”
“Then are you currently receiving treatment in Yeoyang County?”
“no. Cheolsan’s brother led the escorts gathered in Yeoyang County and went back to Nangsan. He said he needed to know at least where the thieves were stealing things. They told me to notify the Luoyang branch and ask for help.”
“no! Why did you go to Nangsan again if you said you were killed by a sword?”
“Because the merchants are suffering in front of their eyes. As the head of the escort, it was difficult to just let go.”
“Then did Cheolsan and Yeoyanghyeon break up?”
“yes. I met Kite’s older brother on the way to the branch.”
“let’s go.”
I jumped up without even touching the car that was in the middle of the day.
It was the same with Hasobak.
“Stop by my brother’s branch and gather some people to help.”
Yeonjeokha tried to go alone, but soon changed his mind.
Not because I needed help, but because I thought it was right to go with them because it was a matter for the upper side.
***
Taepyeongsangbang branch.
“what! All the things from the main store were stolen by the thieves of Nangsan? What kind of great thieves have so many things stolen from a snot-sized bag?”
The head of the branch, the number of remittances, raised his voice.
Until now, there has never been an accident in Nangsan, so I don’t know why this sounds like a thunderbolt.
Hasobak said it like an excuse.
“Sir, we didn’t even know that bandits had settled in Nangsan. However, it is true that ten escorts were attacked by bandits in Nangshan and their goods were stolen. Daeju Lee Chul-san sent me to request support from Song Haeng-soo.”
“Where are Jang Il-hap and the other merchants?”
“They are having a countermeasure meeting in Yeoyang County.”
“Damn it! When did bandits enter Nangsan? What kind of thing is that?”
Song Song-haeng, who had been muttering to himself, looked back at Ha So-baek.
“Ha-so, there are only about five escorts left at the branch office. I’ll have to gather even the ronin, but do you have enough time for that?”
“There is no time to gather the ronin. My older brother and Mr. Sim will help, so I will only take the escorts from the branch.”
The sender’s gaze turned to the back of Hasobak.
A young man with a youthful face and an old man with a goatee were standing there. However, the way he was doing seemed far from unmanned.
“Are they Moorim people? Or are you a government official?”
He thought they might be government officials because they didn’t have swords.
‘It would be helpful if it was a government official…’
However, a completely unexpected answer came.
“Haeng-soo Song seems to have forgotten who I am? My brother’s nickname is Namcheon. And the person next to him is Gucheonno City.”
Momentarily, the banker’s mouth opened wide.
This is because Namcheon is an absolute master who stands shoulder to shoulder with the top 10 masters in the world.
In addition, the Gucheonnodo who follows him like a shadow!
If it’s the inaction of those two, it’s more than enough to replace the rongin.
“omg! Am I really Namcheon Daehyeop?”
It belatedly reminded me that Ha So-baek was one of the Five Bon 10 Girl.
Luckily, it seems that he met Namcheon Daehyeop in Lukyang.
Yeonjeokha nodded.
“that’s right. Did you say Haengsu Song? There’s no time to chat like this, so gather up the escorts. If it’s late, I can go alone.”
“Yes Yes, please give me half an hour (about 7 minutes). I will call the escorts on standby at the branch.”
Having finished talking, Song Gong-gwan hurriedly ran outside.
After a while, a remittance bank and five escorts appeared with loud footsteps.
It is time for Hasobak to say hello to them.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who went down to the yard, performed fortune-telling.
Then, a white cloud formed under his feet.
Remittance and escort, as well as Ha So-baek, blinked with a puzzled face.
Yeonjeokha waved his hand at them and said.
“Come quickly. Have you ever seen a cloud?”
***
Ha Nam.
Yanghyun Yeo.
Around sunset, a white cloud came down and sat down at the entrance of Nangsan Mountain.
Before long, people came out of the clouds.
They are the escorts of Yeon Jeok-he, Shen-tong, He So-baek, and the Luoyang Branch of the Taiping District.
Except for Yeonjeokha and Heartache, all of them had stunned faces.
It is only natural that they flew from Luoyang to Yeoyang County on clouds like immortals.
Yeonjeokha said to the people looking around, as if they still didn’t realize it.
“I heard that one of the thieves killed the escort and ten escorts with one sword. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s an absolute master at that level of inaction, so take care of yourself. It’s your own loss if you get hurt for nothing.”
“yes!”
“I will keep that in mind!”
The voices of the escorts who experienced the spirit of the enemy were full of spirit.
Soon after, Yeonjeokha turned his head to Simtong.
“Old Sim.”
“yes.”
“Take a good look. Are there any traces of objects or escorts?”
“yes.”
Heartache took the lead with a nervous face.
Simtong, who fought an unidentified bandit in Juksan, was more cautious than anyone else.
After half an hour (an hour), Yeon Jeok-ha and his party reached the top of the mountain.
Even so, it was already dark because the name was a mountain, so I couldn’t even see far away.
Shimtong, who had been looking around with hawk eyes, said with a somewhat dejected face.
“Gongja. Clean. There is no sign of the escorts, let alone objects.”
“It is strange. Sobaek?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t the distance from Yeoyang County to Lukyang the same as the distance to Nangsan?”
“Yes, it is similar.”
“Then, even if we were later than Cheolsan, it would be within one meal (about 30 minutes). Right?”
“Yes.”
Hasobak nodded.
He and Lee Cheol-san traveled the same distance, but came to Nangsan after one meal on a cloud. That meant that Lee Cheol-san was ahead of him by about one meal.
“But why are there no traces or signs of popularity?”
As soon as the couple muttered, they spread their arms wide and released their aura in all directions.
One li, two li, three li…
As I released my spirit energy about ten li (about four kilometers), I felt a familiar energy.
My heart fluttered at the strangely foreboding feeling.
As soon as they joined the enemy, they ran eastward.
He descended the mountain at once and crossed a desolate winter field.
Familiar energy was coming out of the huge thicket at the end of the field, as if it were about to be cut off.
In a hurry, the serial enemy moved forward by ten chapters (about 30 meters) at each step.
When I reached the middle of the thicket, the blurry energy suddenly cut off as if it had been cut with a knife.
‘omg! no!’
Yeonjeokha’s steps became faster.
However, once the energy was cut off, it did not rise again.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who had hurriedly advanced about ten more steps, stopped abruptly.
Twenty bodies were strewn about at the end of the thicket.
I approached one of them.
The person whose chest was threaded through the sword and impaled on a tree was Lee Cheol-san, one of the Five Bon 10 Girls.
He had his eyes wide open as if he had no lingering feelings for this world.
I covered Cheolsan Lee’s eyes with the palm of my hand.
It was clear that he had just stopped breathing because he wasn’t cold yet, as was the energy he had felt just a moment ago.
Suddenly, Ha So-baek’s words came to mind.
-Last year, Chaeyeon and Cheolsan got married. In the summer of that year, Chaeyeon unnie quit Sangbang. Because I have a baby. On behalf of such an older sister, Cheolsan’s older brother often helped her go up.
“Fuck! Seebaal-!”
The whole thicket shuddered at the bloody cry of the enemy enemy.
Before long, the serial killer gnashed his teeth.
‘Kill everything related to Lee Cheol-san’s death. I will kill all of them without leaving one.’
