< Return to War, Episode 81 >
“It really was there….”
While following Dansomi through the eastern gate and riding up a nearby mountain, I found traces on a road not often traveled by people.
After carefully following it for a while, a large cave was revealed, and around a dozen people were seen holding swords and standing guard.
Because they were quite far away, it was hard to see them in detail, but judging from the fact that they gave off a similar aura to the people Chu Zuohan was accompanying, it seemed certain that they were people from the Church of Heaven and Earth.
“What should we do now?”
And Dansomi, who was looking at the situation, asked with shining eyes. He seemed like a child trying to play a fun game, perhaps unable to control his heartbeat.
Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye made eye contact.
Soon he let out a long sigh and opened his mouth.
“How about you… just go back?”
“yes? “Isn’t there Sister Geum and Uncle Jin in there?”
“That’s right… because it’s dangerous…”
“Yes?”
At that moment, Dansomi raised her eyes wide.
They said they were going to look for the two people, so they climbed up the mountain and came all the way here, but they didn’t let me do anything, so I was depressed.
Her shoulders slumped.
“No… But I still came this far…”
“Adventure! Yes, that’s right! “If it weren’t for Somi, I wouldn’t have come this far.”
“mister…!”
“But still, Somi. It’s full of bad guys in there. “If you step out and get hurt, wouldn’t it be a big problem?”
Jang Sam-tae suddenly trembled, perhaps remembering something. Probably the one who will be in big trouble is because it is clear that he will be the one who dragged Dan So-mi into this matter.
It will never end with one or two hits.
“Then I’ll just watch from here! “Isn’t it okay to have a white tiger and a white cat?”
But Dansomi had no intention of backing down.
Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong made the journey together, even if it was only for a short time, although some people were reluctant to go back alone. Since it’s about saving two people, I don’t want to get left out.
“If that’s the case…”
In the end, it was none other than Namgung Sohye who raised both hands.
Baekho and Baekmyo will be more reliable guards than anyone else in the current situation and will protect Dansomi no matter what happens.
It may be dangerous to send him back alone in the first place.
“Phew… I can’t help it. Instead, stay quiet. got it?”
“Of course!”
Dansomi nodded with a confident expression.
I promised myself that I would never do anything differently. Namgung Sohye looked a bit suspicious, but perhaps she knew that there was no use in saying anything more, and she sighed and turned her head away.
“So what’s the plan?”
“…what?”
“to?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Namgung So-hye with a dumbfounded expression.
At that moment, she sensed that something was wrong, smiled awkwardly, and opened her mouth again.
“So what’s the plan?”
“…what?”
“….”
She clenched her fists without realizing it and trembled. The eyes that were looking at Jang Sam-tae began to become increasingly cruel, and a strange energy overflowed.
At that moment, Jang Sam-tae hurriedly opened his mouth with an expression of regret.
“No, you have to make the plan! “What do I know?”
“You said you would do it! Then you should have planned it!”
Namgung So-hye swallowed the air, as if she was truly astonished. If the goal from the beginning was to find two people based on the assumption that there was a problem, shouldn’t there also be a way to rescue them?
But he didn’t seem to think about such things at all.
Without realizing it, I grabbed my throbbing head.
How can you believe and follow a person like this?
He frowned, lamenting his foolishness.
“Hey… if I ride the backhoe and lure those people… how about we go in then?”
“No, that’s too dangerous?”
“You promised to stay still!”
Dan So-mi, who had sneaked in between the two, looked dissatisfied, as if she was reluctant about something.
Since neither of them had a plan in the first place, I hoped that they would trust me and follow me even just for times like this.
How long will we be treated like children?
Although he was full of such dissatisfaction, he did not show it on his face.
Instead, he smiled brightly and opened his mouth.
“The white tiger is strong, unnie…”
“I… I know that, but… I’m sure it was earlier…”
“You said you didn’t have a plan? Or did you just charge in with open fire?”
In fact, with the skills of Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye, there wouldn’t be much difficulty even if they just attack. However, it was also clear that this was a situation where caution had to be exercised, as we did not know how many people were in the cave and we did not know what strong people there were.
“White tigers are very fast. It’s so bad that even Uncle Jang can’t catch it. Moreover, he is extremely strong.”
Ugh! Namgung Sohye flinched while saying this.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what comes out of Dansomi’s mouth. The white tiger is a beast and is gifted with abilities to the point where it can be called a divine beast among other spirits.
Therefore, even Jang Sam-tae, who is said to be one of the few Gyeonggongs in the central plains, cannot be easily captured, and when it comes to military power, he is superior to Namgung So-hye.
“So… I’m the only one, right?”
“But…”
“I’m the only one, right?”
Namgung So-hye and Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat as they looked at Dan So-mi, who was smiling brightly. I always thought of her as a pretty child, but now I see that there is no such thing as a fox.
Although he is smiling, it is clear in that smile, ‘If you have another plan, why don’t you come up with it?’ It would never be an illusion to think that there is a meaning to it.
She is not Dan Woo-hyeon’s daughter for nothing.
“Ha… haa-!”
Namgung Sohye let out a long sigh again.
If you are stubborn like this, there is no way to stop it.
Haven’t you already seen and felt it a long time ago?

Tak!
Sit in a quiet guesthouse and drink.
Although the alcohol that passed into his mouth was nothing more than cheap liquor, the sight of Dan Woo-hyeon savoring it was like drinking expensive famous liquor.
The strong scent stung my nose, and the moment I poured it into my mouth, I felt a burning sensation in my throat. But no matter how much I added, I couldn’t imitate the taste of the past.
“Hehehe-is it really okay if I don’t have to go?”
And at that time, the voice of Namgung-cheon, who was playing Sadohak and Baduk, was heard from one side. He didn’t care about Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression as he drank and was lost in thought.
Jang Sam-tae went out to find Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong, but Namgung So-hye and Dan So-mi have not yet returned to the guesthouse. It was clear that this was related to Jang Sam-tae’s affairs.
Naturally, Dan So-mi could be in danger, but since Dan Woo-hyeon was just drinking while contemplating, I was curious about his intentions.
“It’s not a child, what are you worried about? Isn’t that right?”
“Right.”
“Hehe, I guess that’s not really the reason why I won’t go.”
Namgungcheon knows.
Even though Dan So-mi’s age has been determined, she is still a child in the eyes of her father, Dan Woo-hyeon. But the fact that he doesn’t go means that he is thinking about something else.
Because Dan Woo-hyeon always looks ahead and acts.
“I don’t think anything big will happen.”
“You don’t know what’s ahead for people. No matter how good you are at reading heavenly records! “Life is such that you never know what’s going to happen.”
Sadohak frowned at the ambiguous but confident words. People don’t know when, where, and what will happen, but the way they spoke, like a fortune teller trying to guess everything, was annoying.
“is it?”
At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon also smiled.
Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like what Apostolic Studies says is wrong.
When you first opened your eyes, how did you think you would meet Dansomi? There was no wind whatsoever and there was no foreboding.
But at some point, Dan So-mi was in front of him, and Dan Woo-hyeon eventually reached out his hand toward the child.
That was probably the first time there was no wind.
Therefore, Dan Woo-hyeon also could not predict anything.
“But… what you say is more than possible, so I can’t ignore it, but…”
“Heh heh, that’s right. But the head of the house is someone who can make some money even if he spreads a mat!”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was raising his glass, paused.
He seemed to think about something for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. Even if you think about it yourself, it seems that making money as a fortune teller is not a good choice.
“But I don’t know anything else, but is that okay? “I heard you learned the martial arts of that bastard bastard?”
“You said something like that.”
“I don’t think you will be able to learn martial arts even if you try, but it still feels uncomfortable, doesn’t it? is not it?”
Sadohak frowned as if he was reluctant about something.
It was obvious that if someone he didn’t know learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Art and called himself his descendant, an uproar would erupt. However, even though Dan Woo-hyeon heard the whole story, instead of getting angry, he just smiled, so it was impossible to guess his true intentions.
“do not care.”
“Why are there all these crazy people?”
“Hehehe – I can only think like that because I am the head of the family. “If it were us, we would have chased after him and cut off his head right away.”
Dan Woohyun is strong.
It’s so much that it can’t be explained in words. That is why he is praised as the greatest martial artist of all time and modern times, and his name is still passed down as a legend.
That’s why you can’t pay attention to him.
This is because he knows that even if someone dismantles his martial arts and someone else learns it, he is no match for him.
Therefore, Dan Woo-hyeon does not have any leisure time.
Of course, there may be other reasons besides that.
“Your martial arts… are they things that can be learned even if someone disassembles them and writes them down?”
“Nonsense! The martial arts of the Namgung family contain the essence of a thousand years! “No matter who you are, it’s not easy to learn!”
“The reason why the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique is given to the cult leader is because only the strongest person in the Demon Cult can learn it.”
“…That’s it.”
Hearing the fierce voice, Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and raised his glass as if he knew that would happen. Just as these two people are proud of their martial arts skills, Dan Woo-hyeon is also the same.
That’s not Dan Woo-hyeon’s martial arts.
Perhaps the King of Dafa at the time put a lot of effort into creating something similar, but it cannot be considered Dan Woo-hyeon’s creation of the Thousand and One Day Harmony.
If that was really the case, Emperor Tianwu would never have left it alone. However, Podalap Palace remained intact for a thousand years, and there was not even a single attack, except for the process of recovering the treasures made by Emperor Tianwu.
This means that even Emperor Wu of Heaven did not think that Dan Yuxian was a martial artist.
“But… it does pique my interest.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled slightly.
I’m sure it’s not my thing, but I’m still intrigued by what it is.
