Episode 45
Namgung So-hye, the woman wearing a cotton hat, smiled awkwardly.
After meeting Somi on the street, I was unknowingly led by her hand to the manor.
In a confusing situation where Kwon Moo-jin, a famous expert in Sapa, is escorting Somi, Dan Woo-hyeon, who is the most difficult to deal with, has returned.
“…I.”
“Hmm… did I eat something wrong? “I see everything in vain.”
“It’s real.”
Dan Woo-hyeon turned his head.
Dan So-mi was seen holding both of Namgung So-hye’s hands. Next to him, Kwon Moo-jin, with a rather stern expression, stands guard and stands guard.
No matter how much he ran away from the Sapa on his own, he didn’t seem to relax as his opponent was a member of the Namgung family.
If it were Namgung So-hye, who is famous for her bonghwangdanju, it would have been natural.
“I met my sister on the street! So Somi brought me here.”
He often smiles with a face that says, ‘Did I do well?’
Dan Woohyun smiled awkwardly.
“By the way… that’s good. But from now on, please bring only intact items.”
“to? “Sister, what’s wrong?”
Namgung Sohye sighed softly.
Tingling-! He glared at Dan Woo-hyeon with his sharp eyes and muttered with an angry expression.
“Can you please stop talking about people like broken objects? “I’m fine, yo’?”
“Thank goodness. I thought you were hurt. “Especially here.”
Dan Woo-hyeon patted his head and muttered.
The humiliation of the Honam Ogeom was a memory that no self-respecting warrior could ever forget.
This is especially true for Namgoong Sohye, who has grown up without a single hardship.
She bit her lip tightly.
“Huh! “I’m not scared of any of that.”
“Right. Rather, why is it here?”
Dan Woo-hyeon naturally sat down on the veranda. Namgung So-hye was standing in front of him, and Jang Sam-
tae, who realized that the atmosphere was not good, was holding a broom and pretending to sweep the yard.
Kwon Moo-jin was still standing on guard against Namgung So-hye.
“Before answering that, can I ask one question?”
“okay.”
“Why is that human here?” Namgung So-hye glared at Kwon Moo-jin and growled. Considering what happened last time, it wasn’t surprising that I got stabbed right away.
It’s not just anyone else, it’s Madokjin’s subordinate!
When I think about the hardships I went through back then, my teeth still grind.
“Now they are our family.”
“now? “Seeing as you brought in people from the Sapa as part of your family, Confucius Dan was also a Sapa figure, right?”
“When you stay here, you are a member of the political faction, but when you stay here, you become a member of the Sa faction? “Then shall we try accepting the demonic cult next time?”
Namgung So-hye kept her mouth shut at Dan Woo-hyeon’s harsh criticism, which he made with a chuckle.
If Dan Woo-hyeon was from Sapa, he would not have destroyed Ma Dok-jin like that.
Ma Dok-jin is a person who exerts quite a lot of influence in the Emperor Wu, the largest power in Sapa.
Moreover, even when I stayed at this manor the other day, I thought that Dan Woo-hyeon was a somewhat ambiguous person to judge by the martial arts classification of Jeongsama.
He was a person who walked his own path rather than the standards of the world.
“Then it’s your turn to answer.”
“Okay, while we were chasing opium traffickers in the Murim League, we figured out that the source was Honam and chased them down. But do you know what happened on the way here?”
Dan Woohyun shook his head.
In fact, the reason he started looking for opium traffickers was to clear Jang Sam-tae’s name.
What he meant was that opium and Honam did not have the same problem.
But somehow, it felt like the situation was getting bigger and bigger.
Dan Woo-hyeon glanced at Jang Sam-tae.
I saw him shaking his head furiously.
“In one small town, everyone went crazy from opium. Even in large villages, without exception, there were people showing symptoms of poisoning. What’s even funnier is that most of the young women among those who were addicted went missing after a while.”
“So you came down to Honam?”
“I ended up here by following your tail
.”
Namgung Sohye shrugged her shoulders.
In fact, the issue of opium was a national issue that had to be resolved by the imperial family.
However, the reason why the Murim Alliance came forward this time was because several of the small and medium-sized sects that joined the alliance had collapsed due to opium addiction.
The process was so secret that even the Murim League did not notice their downfall until recently.
They hurriedly sent an investigation team, but the whereabouts of even the members of the sect were unknown, and all of their property was broken into pieces, leaving only traces of having flowed to the Honam region.
I couldn’t tell where it ended, but it was definitely the work of someone in Honam.
“Can there be a guy with such a big liver in Honam? Most of them were captured…” “The Three Provinces said that’s what they call themselves. And that person named Hoeju uses reverse magic to change his face at will…”
“That’s it!”
Jang Sam-tae suddenly shouted loudly.
A reverse technique!
Why didn’t I think of that idea until now?
If one was skilled in reverse magic, changing one’s face would not have been an easy task.
Jang Sam-tae, who threw away his broom and rushed at Dan Woo-hyeon, muttered.
“Lord Jang! A reverse technique! “If you just use reverse magic, you can make your face look similar to mine!”
“I knew.”
” yes?”
“Didn’t you say you knew?” Jang Sam-tae was silent for a while.
I stared at Dan Woo-hyeon’s face and muttered.
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“It is my heart.”
“…Fuck.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes suddenly became fierce. Realizing his mistake, Jang Sam-tae turned his head and cleared his throat.
‘Can’t you even swear as much as you want?’ At that time, I heard Namgung Sohye’s voice.
“Do you know something?”
“They said someone was trafficking opium and human beings with this guy’s face. I thought it was Inmyeonpigu, but it’s reverse use? “He was more interesting than I thought.”
Dan Woo-hyeon showed her the facial mask that he had kept in his arms.
Namgung So-hye, who accepted it, couldn’t take her eyes off him for a while, and then she glared at Jang Sam-tae with a suspicious gaze.
“You…
“I said no! Didn’t you hear what I said a moment ago? “It’s a reverse technique!”
“Why did they bother using your face? “He’s not a famous person, just a pretty face.”
“That’s what I want to ask first!”
Namgung Sohye still looked suspicious and held the sword.
The intention was to catch him if he had time.
Kwon Moo-jin, seeing this, slowly stepped forward and placed his hand on the twin swords hanging on his waist.
“If you are thinking of pulling out your sword here, stop. “I won’t sit still either.” Sossangdo Kwon Moo-jin.
It would be no exaggeration to say that his skills were genuine.
If you stick properly, you will start to lose after about twenty seconds, and you will lose before you even get to fifty seconds.
That was the difference in skill between Kwon Moo-jin and Namgoong So-hye.
“Stop creating unnecessary atmosphere. “Isn’t there Somi?”
As the harsh atmosphere began to flow between the two, Dansomi was at a loss as to what to do.
Because Dan So-mi likes Namgoong So-hye and Kwon Moo-jin.
I hoped that both of them would get along well.
Dan So-mi, who was holding Kwon Moo-jin’s hand, also held Namgung So-hye’s hand with her other hand.
The moment when you try to force the two people to hold each other’s hands.
Pot-pot-!
The two people were startled and withdrew their hands before their skin even touched.
“Then you can’t do that, Somi. “If you join hands with someone like that, even if you are a man and a woman, you will be in big trouble.”
” to?”
“That’s right, Somi. You shouldn’t do that to anyone. Especially a woman like that who only knows herself.”
“yes? yes?”
Somi’s head turned left and right several times as she heard voices coming from both sides. I wanted to shake hands in reconciliation, but the opposition from these two people was too strong.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s sigh was heard from one side.
Immediately, he took something out of his pocket and threw it.
“This is the opium he sold.”
“!?”
Namgung Sohye was very surprised when she received it.
Even if I wanted to get it, I couldn’t get it because I had no way to find it.
But where on earth did Dan Woohyun get this?
She looked around at the opium wrapped in a small piece of paper. I took a sniff and frowned as if something was strange.
“It’s not ordinary opium, is it?”
“It looked like a specially manufactured item. “It’s several times more addictive than regular opium.”
Namgung Sohye turned her head. Perhaps because he didn’t even want to smell the opium scent, he quickly folded it and returned it to Dan Woo-hyeon.
“How do you do this?”
“There is a way.”
“…Then is there a way to catch him?”
“Not everything, but at least the tail.”
Namgung So-hye looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a surprised expression.
This person can quickly accomplish something that even the Murim League could not accomplish.
I couldn’t tell if it was a person or a ghost.
Even seeing him say that, it seemed like he had a plan.
Namgung Sohye asked with a slight smile.
“What is that?”
“Do you want to catch it?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Then there should be some compensation.”
“yes?”
As I was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon, who was grinning, I felt like he needed something. But something tells me this human being needs something.
The moment she frowns and falls into deep thought.
“Bring the current prize money that was hanging around the head of the Black Demon Association.”
“Well… that’s…” It was not a small amount of money, just 200 gold nyang, and the situation had already been resolved a long time ago.
What are you talking about with Zhuge Commander and taking the money?
There was even a considerable distance between the Murim League and Agyang.
The travel time alone would be enormous.
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“I got it, I got it! I’ll give it to you. But I also have a condition.”
“condition?”
Namgung Sohye took a deep breath. In fact, I was very embarrassed to be in a situation where I had to say something like this.
Perhaps that was why I muttered softly with a red face.
“After we resolve this matter, we will take all the credit from the Murim Alliance.”
“as you please.”
” yes?”
“Do whatever you want.”
I was dumbfounded to see Danwoohyun accepting so readily.
Although it has not been clearly revealed on the surface yet, if you catch them, you will be able to build an enormous reputation.
But he gave up too easily.
Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to have read her thoughts and spoke without hesitation.
“The Murim Alliance’s position must have changed for the worse because of the Black Demon Association. It is an organization worse than a single prefectural government. So, aren’t you trying to make up for it by resolving this issue?”
“That’s right…”
He was like a ghost.
How can one speak as if one has peered into a person’s heart? Even Zhuge Li, who was difficult to deal with, seemed unable to do this.
That’s why I felt even more uncomfortable with that person.
At that time, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice.
“Samtae.”
” yes?”
“Call Hong Won-chang.”
“yes! “Okay!”
