Episode 180
For the first time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression and appearance were seen shaking.
Namgung Sohye felt even more confident when she saw that.
He clenched his fists and looked at the person asking for something to be said, but the silence was deep and could not be resolved.
How much time has passed?
I suddenly realized that the silence that seemed like it would never stop for a long time was only a moment at most.
Namgung So-hye, who was staring blankly at Dan Woo-hyeon’s face, made a gulping sound.
At the same time, the silence was broken.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Ahaha… I just said that for fun.” I laughed it off as if it was a joke. Namgung So-hye realized through his silence just now that Dan Woo-hyeon did not want anyone to know that fact.
Also, Dan Woo-hyeon seemed like he didn’t want to mention this matter anymore.
The two people, who understood each other and reached an unspoken agreement, laughed at the same time.
“Nam Joo-ryeon’s martial arts skills… I came across it quite by chance and it’s in my head. But I can’t guarantee it’s perfect.”
“That’s okay. Please teach me.”
“Hmm,” Dan Woo-hyeon stroked his chin.
But the worries were not deep.
I don’t know if he had been thinking of doing so from the beginning, but he nodded and obediently followed Namgung Sohye’s request.
“It’s not difficult. “Starting tomorrow morning, come to that vacant lot where you left last time.”
“all right.”
Namgung Sohye nodded willingly and turned her back.
My wildly beating heart still hasn’t calmed down.
It took quite a bit of courage on her part to look Dan Woo-hyeon in the face like this and to openly tell him his secret.
“ha.”
She sighed softly and clenched her fists.
Although the curiosity was not clearly resolved, the goal was achieved.
You can still go higher… higher.
Namgung Sohye smiled and ran to her residence.
“I had a feeling that I had noticed… but how did I know?”
Dan Woo-hyeon was troubled as he looked at the back of Namgung So-hye disappearing. It wasn’t that I had any intention of desperately trying to hide the fact that I was a military god.
Even if you tell someone in the first place, they won’t believe you. The flow of time of a thousand years cannot be stopped no matter how slow it may be.
Is there a human who can make that possible?
Even the blood demon, who was said to have mastered Zen arts and could even transfer the soul, could not stop the flow of time.
So I was reassured that no one would know.
A moment ago, Namgung Sohye’s eyes were close to confidence.
“Was this your doing too?”
He raised his head and looked at a place.
A high cliff overlooking a huge manor.
There were three graves on it.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at the beautiful woman appearing before his eyes.
The blurry-looking woman looked at Dan Woo-hyeon and smiled mischievously.
As I was looking at it, it seemed like there was no mistake.
Dan Woohyun frowned.
“You were always so naughty.”
He walked with a smile.
His steps seemed very lively today.
I felt a sense of relief, as if I had confessed the concerns I had kept alone in my heart for a long time.
“Well, I roughly knew the series of events, but… I never thought it would come out this way.”
two days later.
Jegal-un, who had now recovered enough to walk, heard about what had happened with Honam Sangdan at a gathering of Dan Woo-hyeon and Namgung-cheon Sadohak.
There were some things I already knew and some I didn’t know.
I was confident in my ability to gather information, but this was the first time I had heard that the other party had laid a trap and waited.
It was said that there were people there who knew how to use their heads.
Zhuge Un grinned.
“The losses we have suffered so far are quite large.”
The most important items of the Gold Ring Merchants, alcohol and silk, were stolen.
It’s true that we have to catch them first, but if we can’t even find traces of them, it’s going to be quite a difficult situation.
Unless you can find it.
Zhuge Un looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
“What’s going on with the Jinhwan Sangdan?”
“well?”
Dan Woo-hyeon secretly turned his gaze to look at the door. Kwon Moo-jin, who had been standing there in silence, approached with long strides and bowed briefly.
“Currently, we have hired dozens of ronin and are tightly guarding the area around the top.”
The good news is that Geumhwan Trading Company has not lost everything.
There was still alcohol from Hoyeonji and alcohol that Dansomi sometimes made for fun in Danga, and thanks to that, there was no problem with doing business right away.
“Have you ever had to send someone out after being robbed?”
“I know it doesn’t exist.”
Zhuge Un nodded.
The Geumhwan Sangdan was a fairly old one in Jangsa.
As it was small in scale, the people working there consisted only of trustworthy people who had worked there for at least ten years.
“There is a lot of stuff, so no matter how many dozen people come in, traces are bound to be left behind. But the fact that there is nothing left….”
“It means that there is someone inside who helped.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also had this suspicion in mind.
However, Geum and Eunhak ruled out such things. Since these are employees who have been with him for a long time, he must have firmly believed that they would not betray him.
Therefore, Dan Woo-hyeon left him alone without saying anything.
Anyone who makes a mistake once will make another mistake unless they change.
Therefore, the current gold and silver crane will inevitably suffer in one way or another.
The same thing will happen again and again until you realize it and catch it.
Of course, by the time you realize the truth through repeated mistakes, it is too late.
By that time, Dan Woo-hyeon would have already abandoned the gold and silver cranes.
There was no need for a fool.
In that regard, Dan Woo-hyeon is stronger than anyone else.
“The items will still be safe. “Even if it is a Hunan merchant, Hunan Province is too clean to hand over such a large amount of stolen goods.”
Zhuge Un smiled and looked at Dan Yu Hyeon.
It was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon that criminals were eradicated from this Honam land.
Considering various information,
the reason why there was not a single bandit in the vicinity of Agyang was probably due to the influence of Dan Woo-hyeon, who promoted Hong Won-chang.
“The stolen items must have been taken by sea. “To completely erase traces, the easiest way is to take a boat.”
“I guess so.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and clapped his hands, saying that Namgung Cheon was right.
The fact that there was no trace left inside means that there was someone who helped, and the fact that there was no trace left outside would be because the helper inside came back and erased it. Also, if you use the sea route, which is safer than using a carriage, you will not be able to find any traces, and there are countless hiding places near Dongjeong Lake, so it was suitable for hiding items.
“So what happened?”
Sadohak asked, picking his ears as if he was annoyed.
Whether there are traitors inside or not, and whether or not you use the sea route, what good does that matter now?
Dan Woo-hyeon was not very active in looking for things.
What is the reason?
I guess things are already good.
The problem is simply the Honam Trading Company, which went against its will by doing something like this.
It wasn’t best to waste time looking for things.
“You’re not planning on going treasure hunting now, are you?”
Zhuge Un held his breath at the disapproving gaze of Sadohak.
The opponent is none other than the leader of the Demonic Cult.
Even if he was the commander of the Murim League, he could clearly feel the difference in rank.
He is such an incredible person that not even the Emperor of Swords by his side can guarantee Zhuge Un’s life.
Zhuge Un swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.
“It’s just one time.”
“What 2?”
Sadohak asked back with a somewhat sad expression.
Should I cut out that tongue that keeps speaking ambiguously and half-heartedly? Impulsive thoughts stimulated my mind.
When that sharp gaze fell upon him, Zhuge Un trembled.
“This means that with just one action, we can cut off most of the ties with them as well as the Honam Sangdan.”
“Hoo.”
The person who let out a small exclamation was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon.
He hated troublesome things.
As he was the type of person who needed to solve a problem at once, he was not sure what Zhuge Un’s plan was, but it could be said to be a very attractive statement.
“Isn’t it said that an eye for an eye…an eye for a tooth?”
Zhuge Un smiled brighter than ever.

A late night.
A man was looking around and quickly heading somewhere.
His expression was filled with anxiety as if he was being discovered by someone, so he repeated the bizarre behavior of walking a few steps and then looking around.
The man moved for a while, exited Yueyang, and continued walking along Dongdong Lake Road.
Because it was late at night, not only the cries of animals coming from the forest, but even the flapping wings of birds gave me goosebumps.
After moving another half hour, the man stopped.
The place where he stands is a forest.
The surrounding area was full of large old trees, rocks and bushes.
As the man stopped there and looked around nervously, several strange shadows suddenly stopped in front of him.
“I heard there is new information. Of course…”
“Well… of course.” “I will never reveal anything about this, and it is important information that no one knows.”
The man trembled and lowered his head.
Then the people took out a small bag from their arms and threw it to them. The man, who realized that it was quite heavy as it fell, quickly picked it up.
However, I couldn’t bring myself to check inside.
Because before I knew it, the sword had reached the nape of the man’s neck.
“Ugh…
“Before you check inside, tell us the reason you called us. “If it’s useless information, you should leave your head here.”
“Ugh… That’s what I’m talking about… The top gold stock price… I’m trying to form a caravan group.”
“Caravan?”
“Yes, we are attracting as many ronin as possible. I don’t know the exact number because it seems like they are meeting each other so secretly, but it seems to be over fifty…” “
…I see. But do you have that much luggage?”
“Recently, a large amount of alcohol has been sold again at unit prices… I think maybe they are going to sell it…” “
That’s not accurate…?” At Inyoung’s question, the man was startled and took a step back.
It was definitely not accurate. It is true that a large quantity of alcohol was brought in, but there was no sign of it being packaged.
However, I confirmed that several carts were already loaded. I don’t know what the contents were covered by the cloth, but since alcohol is what Geumhwan Sangdan mainly sells, the thing in the cart was definitely alcohol.
“You mean…? This is a cute little thing…”
“What is it?”
“There is talk going back and forth among traders that Beijing is the destination for this commercial trip…”
“Is that true?”
“It’s a rumor. It’s a rumor. But I heard the owner of the Jinhwan Sangdan muttering that he was going to see Beijing for the first time in a while when he was with my son.”
The people were startled at the mention of Beijing.
Geumhwan Merchants sold alcohol from the Hoyeon family. The alcohol was once again flowing in in large quantities, and going to Beijing meant that it might enter the imperial family.
This was information that needed to be reported to the Commander-in-Chief as soon as possible.
The people quickly turned their backs.
“I’ll say it again…”
“Hehe, of course. “This mouth will not open even if it is dead and wakes up.”
The man laughed heartily.
made a lot of money In less than a month at most, I earned an amount of money that I had not been able to earn even though I had been working at Jinhwan Trading Company for over 20 years.
Where else can you find money like this?
The man nodded several times as he watched the disappearing figures. While they were aiming for the gold ring, he would become a very important customer.
The man turned his back, satisfied with his heavy pockets.
“Tick’?!”
That moment.
I saw someone in front of me.
The black shadow smiled, revealing its pure white teeth.
Soon, the pitch-black hand of the black shadow slowly approached.
