Episode 147
“Is this really the right place?”
-Of course.
Jeok Museong, the lord of Emperor Wu’s castle, was impressed as he looked around the streets of Agyang. In one of the seven generations of Sado, Madokjin, the eldest son of Masise and the future leader of the family, led the warriors and left the battlefield on his own.
This was also the reason why Jeok Mu-seong, who had left Emperor Wu’s castle to sort out affairs in Shaanxi, moved to Honam.
‘If it weren’t for Ma Cheol-kwon’s request, the Red Army would have been impressed.
If it weren’t for my friend’s request, I would have left that guy behind. No matter what you do in Honam or what happens as a result of it.
However, because it was a request from a close friend and it was also a time when the strength of the Ma Xi family was needed, Jeok Mu-seong, the lord of Wuhwangseong, personally moved his legs and came to Aeyang.
“It’s a mess.”
Jeok Museong looked around.
Some people were seen shedding tears. On one side, people who were thought to be corpses were being moved by the police.
A person died.
Even just looking at the faint traces of stab wounds, one could not believe that their deaths were simple murders.
These are unmanned things.
The feeling contained in one blow is definitely different.
Jeok Museong stroked his chin and muttered.
“Find out the details of what happened and then come back.”
-John name!
Feeling that the shadow was disappearing, Jeok Museong walked slowly and looked at the atmosphere inside the village. Bodies were coming out everywhere, and the sound of people crying continued.
Also, even the gaze on the unmanned person was not good.
Because they weren’t holding swords, I couldn’t tell how they looked at Jeokmu Castle, but the looks the people of Akyang gave to the people passing by were as if they were looking at filth.
‘It’s Madokjin’s doing.’
Jeok Museong sighed softly.
I know very well that his personality is a bitch. That guy with a damn personality was betrayed by his subordinate and lost his eyes.
How unfair it must have been to have to return without even finding the body, when it would have been pointless to kill him by tearing his limbs to pieces. However, since he knew that the guy was alive and that the place where the guy was was in Akyang, he must have sharpened his blade for revenge.
It ended up like this.
“hmm.”
Jeokmuseong let out a small groan and headed towards Daru.
The three-story Daru building is taller than any other building nearby, so there is no better place to look down and enjoy the scenery.
I ordered a cup of tea and looked outside.
I could see the police officers moving around busily.
‘Are you trying to find Madokjin?’
If a commoner who was not a warrior was massacred, it would not be surprising if the government moved. But looking at their faces, isn’t it all about collecting the body and comforting the family rather than finding someone?
There was a slight feeling of incredulity.
“The car is here.”
Before I knew it, Jeomsoi brought me tea and bowed my head. Jeom So-i, whose age may have become a thing of the past, must have been living this life for a long time, smiled and looked at Jeok Moo-seong’s expression.
I was wondering if anything would fall off.
Jeok Museong smiled and placed a silver ruler on the table.
“Tell me what happened outside.”
“I don’t know the details, but…”
Jeomsoy glanced at him.
He naturally looked up and down without feeling offended, as if he were criticizing Jeok Mu-seong. The clothes he was wearing were unusual, and the pockets of the backpack I had seen earlier also looked quite thick.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to receive a few more nyang as an information fee instead of just one nyang?
Crack!
The moment I was thinking that.
Jeok Mu-seong slowly stretched out his hand, caught Eun-ja in his hand, and crushed her in one go. As Eunja, who was fine, crumpled as if she had melted in an instant, Jeomsoi trembled with a pale complexion.
Although it didn’t look like it, I realized that my opponent was a very skilled expert.
“That… that’s what it means…!”
“Cluck cluck!”
Kwon Moo-jin was lying in bed coughing harshly. A cough so loud that it shook my body made me frown as I screamed in pain.
Dansomi, who was startled by the sight, rushed over and brought the cloth.
“Thank you.”
“no. I do it because I like Somi. lol.”
Moojin Kwon patted his head with that innocent smile. If it weren’t for this child, he might have died alone. Although he was treated, several days have passed and neither Dan Woo-hyeon nor Sado-hak or Nam Gung-cheon have come to visit.
Because of that, I felt quite lonely.
“Then why are you hurt like this? Dad said Uncle Kwon went to the mountain and fell…”
Dan So-mi looked at Kwon Moo-jin’s body with suspicious eyes.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like someone who had fallen off a mountain. However, since not only Sadohak but also Nam Gung-cheon were saying the same thing, I couldn’t help but believe it.
“Ugh… That’s right. “It was scratched by a fairly sharp stone.”
“is it so?”
Dansomi nodded slightly.
But he still didn’t seem to understand it, so he took the blood-stained cloth and washed it in water, muttering in a low voice.
“I thought you got hurt in a fight again.”
“Ugh…!”
“Hehe, but I’m glad. “It’s funny when grown adults fight!”
“I see.”
“Dad has always been like that. They say you are immature if you fight even though you are older. So I thought Mr. Kwon was immature. Hehehe.” this child.
Are you really saying this without knowing anything?
Kwon Moo-jin wondered if something else was hidden under that innocent expression. Even more so when you come in and hit the nail on the head.
By the way…
I wonder what the person in this manor who is best at fighting said… Of course, comparing martial arts to fighting is a funny story, but the fundamentals are not different.
Isn’t hitting and hitting the same thing?
Kwon Moo-jin turned his head with a dissatisfied expression.
Meanwhile, the door opened and Dan Woohyun appeared for the first time.
As Kwon Moo-jin, who was startled, tried to stand up, Dan So-mi grabbed his arm with both hands and pressed him down. It seemed like he was telling me not to stand up.
“Lay down.”
“lol.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also understood that and nodded. He approached slowly and looked somewhat soft as he smelled the herbal medicine wafting through the room.
“It’s a nice scent. “The medicine is good.”
“Thanks to you, my lord. Such good medicine….”
“I didn’t do anything. “That kid saved them all.”
Dan Woo-hyeon did nothing.
It was Sadohak who stopped the bleeding, and Namgungcheon was the one who sutured and treated the knife wound. Since it was a bit far to buy the necessary medicinal ingredients, Dansomi went out early in the morning and scoured the nearby mountains to collect them one by one.
Kwon Moo-jin broke into a cold sweat.
Just nod your head as usual, but catch the pod…
“I’m alive like this… It’s all thanks to my master.”
“I didn’t come here to listen to flattery.” “You seem to be feeling fine.”
I nodded slightly.
I was even cautious because I felt like no matter what I said, I would get caught. Why doesn’t he seem to be in a good mood today?
“Then Somi, I’ll go out! “I’ll come back in a bit, so just lie down.”
Dan So-mi noticed the strange atmosphere and went out, waving her hand. It seems that adults were thinking that they were talking about something important.
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled at that consideration and sat down in front of Kwon Moo-jin.
“I’m glad you survived. “I thought I was going to die
.”
“…I’m sorry for my sin.”
“I even have to apologize. “It’s your life, not mine?”
I have nothing to say.
Because every single word is not wrong. However, hearing this story right in front of me made me feel somewhat depressed.
“Yes, I killed him, but how do you feel about it?”
“…I almost died.”
“I didn’t almost die, but I died once.”
It is a wound that is by no means shallow.
If Sadohak had been a little late in stopping the bleeding, he may have lost his life due to bleeding. Also, if I didn’t have the mental strength of Akbari, I would have been unable to do anything the moment my chest was cut and would have just waited for my head to be blown off.
If all of those things are Kwon Moo-jin’s skills, then they are skills, and if they are heavenly luck, they are heavenly luck. From Dan Woo-hyeon’s perspective, it seemed like he thought it was just luck.
“There is still a long way to go. “If you can’t even read your opponent’s moves… aren’t you worse than Nangong Xiaohye?”
“…i”
Kwon Moo-jin raised his eyes wide.
I know Namgoong Sohye’s skills well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a difference between Ma Dok-jin and Kwon Moo-jin at one time, and the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
But is she worse than Namgung Sohye?
I looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a gaze that I couldn’t accept.
“That child is already trying to reach the state of enlightenment.”
“…is it true?”
“okay. Rather, it would have been more worth watching if Namgoong So-hye had been with Ma Dok-jin.” Kwon Moo-jin’s eyes trembled. This is the difference in talent.
Just like Ma Dok-jin and Kwon Moo-jin did.
Ma Dok-jin had a family background and power, but had no talent, and Kwon Mu-jin had nothing, but had talent. Although he could not be said to be a genius, he was competing for supremacy even within Massise.
That’s why Ma Dok-jin hated Kwon Moo-jin.
This is because he did not like the fact that he had a talent that he did not have.
And today.
Kwon Moo-jin felt the difference in genius talent.
‘The state of opening eyes…’
It is a shocking story for Kwon Moo-jin, who has not even stepped on that threshold yet. It was even more so because he was watching Namgung Sohye from the side.
I still thought I had the upper hand.
But?
It fell over?
In a few days at most?
A helpless laugh leaked out.
“You must have gained quite a lot from the fight against Madokjin.”
“…yes.”
“Try to fly it higher using the scaffolding. “From now on, if you wait for the bottom, it won’t be a surprise if you die at any time.”
Kwon Moo-jin clenched his fists and nodded.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s words touched my heart deeply. Sending Ma Dok-jin’s body to Emperor Wu probably meant that he was willing to even go to war with them.
If the situation is like that, someone must protect the sweetness. And that fueled my fighting spirit even more, thinking that it was me and no one else.
“do not worry. “I have no intention of leaving Somi in your care.”
” yes?”
“Just know that and rest.”
“…yes?”
For a moment, a dumb sound escaped. Kwon Moo-jin’s determined expression relaxed in an instant.
Dan Woo-hyeon chuckled at that and stood up.
“There is one person who is perfect for protecting that child.”
Dan Woo-hyeon thought of a guy who must have left Honam by now.
I hope this trip becomes a good stepping stone for him…
Return to War
