Episode 361
“Wow….”
Dan So-mi, looking outside the carriage, let out an exclamation.
Even though I had already been to Hubei before, I was impressed because each building I saw looked different.
It was also the first time to go on a cruise without a single starboard.
Now, everything seemed new and amazing to this little child.
Unlike him, there were people on the other side who seemed to be in a serious mood.
There were also Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak Jeok Moo-seong, who were wearing masks covering their faces. Perhaps because of the atmosphere these three people gave off, the others in the carriage lowered their heads in despair.
I would rather go out and ride a horse like Jang Sam-tae.
‘The atmosphere…’
‘It’s too heavy…’
‘I don’t like it… I want to leave.’
‘If you want to fight, go out or do it, what’s this?’
‘Big….’
Including Jegal Yeon, Kwon Moo-jin, Ma Jang-gang, and even Jegal-un and Mae-hyang.
The three people were unable to utter even a single word due to the energy they were emitting, and their mouths were closed like bamboo.
One of the reasons I kept my head down was that I didn’t want to make eye contact with them.
This is because it seemed like sparks might fly.
In the end, perhaps trying to break the gloomy atmosphere, Namgung-cheon spoke first.
“Are you that dissatisfied?”
“No, you bastard. “You don’t see why I should help them when they are leaving us alone?”
Sadohak opened his mouth in a dissatisfied tone.
The Demonic Cult is also being left alone. I didn’t even know what was going on there right now, but what a terrible feeling it would be to know that the Demon Emperor, not anyone else, was going to help the political faction.
Although his facial expression was not visible due to the mask, he seemed to be very dissatisfied.
“If something goes wrong there, I’ll run there too. “Isn’t that what you promised?”
“But still… pride
…” Sadohak paused and said. The others tried to laugh. It is apostolic science, which is called the pinnacle of the five emperors. This person’s self-esteem will never be low, so it seems a bit disturbing.
“I’m covering my face anyway… As long as I don’t bring out the devil, there won’t be any problem, right?”
“…Tsk.”
In the end, it was none other than Apostolate who raised both hands. Listening to Namgungcheon’s words, it seemed like he was right, and there was also the advantage of being able to ask for his help if something went wrong with the Demonic Cult.
From the perspective of Apostolic Studies, it was not a loss-making transaction.
He let out a deep sigh and leaned back against the backrest.
“no! “Why aren’t you asking me?”
At that time, Jeok Mu-seong raised his voice as if he was angry.
While he took care of various things for Sadohak, he left this task to the Ministry of the Red Army as if it were a natural thing.
All he gained was nothing.
But at the same time, Sadohak and Namgungcheon’s gaze returned.
“If you had done it right, this wouldn’t have happened!”
“haha! Are you sick? What do you expect from us? “He is the culprit of this whole situation.” Jeok Museong closed his mouth like a mute who had just been fed honey.
That’s because if Emperor Wu Castle had not been taken away and Hyeolcheon had been driven out in time, the current situation would not have happened.
Jeok Museong let out a loud sigh, as if he was dispirited.
‘My dear…’
“I can see the village.”
“I see, that place is Hyeongmunsan Mountain?”
“Wow… it’s so big.”
Hyeongmunsan Mountain is a mountain located in the southwest of Hubuk. Currently, it is a place where there is a safe house where the Murim League and the members of the Cheondo Council are hiding, but their target is none other than a large village near Hyeongmunsan Mountain.
Although he came here to solve a problem, he couldn’t go to a dangerous place because he had Dansomi with him.
However, since I couldn’t leave it in Honam, I had to bring it with me and leave it in the safest place.
That’s why I chose it.
“But it’s quieter than I thought.”
As the carriage entered the village, the surrounding scenery came into view. My gal-yeon, who was looking there one by one, was making an unhappy expression for some reason.
‘There are a lot of martial arts people.’
The moment they saw the village, their excited expressions changed. It was because I felt that the air flowing through this village was not that good.
what is the reason?
No doubt it was because of the martial arts people nearby.
“There is a Hyeongmun faction here. “They are people who hold high positions in the Murim Alliance.”
Zhuge Yun looked out the window and muttered.
Murim people can be seen everywhere.
Among them, those wearing the uniform of the Hyeongmun faction stood out. The sight of them walking around and patrolling as if they were trying to find something gave me a feeling of strangeness.
“Did you go under the blood stream?”
“It seems so.”
“Hmm…”
Nam Gung-cheon nodded and understood.
If you are a member of the Hyeongmun faction, this is a place you know well. I remembered that the munju there was quite capable, had a good understanding of the situation, and was a just person.
“For even someone like that to fall into the bloodstream…”
“Isn’t it natural for humans to succumb to power?”
“That’s right…”
“But it seems like the Hyeongmun faction isn’t the only one.”
Zhuge Yan glanced at him and narrowed his eyes.
At the end of her gaze was a group of men. They were walking around with stern expressions, but the clothes they were wearing were strange.
He was wearing a red-colored long cloth, and on his chest was embroidery with the word “hyeolcheon” engraved on it.
They were all quite impressive-looking warriors, and they were also wandering around as if they were looking for something.
Then, suddenly, he looked up as if he had spotted the approaching Honam Danga carriage.
“Set up.”
I blurted out the words.
Although the words were spoken from a somewhat distant distance, there was no way that those present could not hear them.
There was tension on the faces of the people in the carriage.
“What about this?”
Jang Sam-tae asked with an anxious expression.
The sight of these people approaching is unusual. Since you know very well what kind of organization Hyeolcheon is, it will be a hassle if it is discovered that it is a Honam Danga.
‘Our Lord Jang gave
us a piece of meat…’
Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.
The place that is the root of Hyeolcheon is none other than Dan Woo-hyeon, who destroyed the Blood Demon Church and even chewed up and swallowed the leader, the Blood Demon.
It goes without saying, but from Hyeolcheon’s point of view, there will not be such good feelings.
“Wait. “You shouldn’t do anything foolish.”
Namgungcheon muttered lowly.
If you don’t care about the other person, there is no need to use your hands. There was even Dansomi on this side, so I had no intention of starting an unnecessary fight.
‘But I never thought he would have already reached out this far…’
Namgung-cheon sighed inwardly and frowned.
Honam and Hubuk are adjacent. Since they can attack as many times as they want, it will only be a matter of time before they come down to Honam.
Before he knew it, the men who were concerned about such things had gathered near the carriage.
The people around watched the situation.
Not only the figures of the Hyeongmun faction, but also the warriors passing by.
Everyone seems curious about who is in the carriage.
“Where are you from?”
A man dressed in blood-red clothes stepped forward and asked.
Those eyes were as sharp as a knife and seemed to pierce my entire body.
“That’s what I mean. We…”
“Ah! mister! Somi wants to go there!” At that time, Dansomi
got off the carriage with sparkling eyes .
It’s eyes lit up as if it had seen something, and it quickly ran towards one place.
Jang Sam-tae, startled, suddenly stood up.
The day Dansomi disappears from a place like this, I won’t die well.
“Hey! “Where are you going!”
“But this looks delicious!”
The place Dansomi ran to was none other than a street stall. There were numerous skewers and confections at the street stall standing in a place where there were no customers. Perhaps because it was made using a different cooking method from the Honam one, the smell was very different from anything I had eaten before.
“Buy it for me!”
“…Do you want to eat?”
“yes! Please buy it!”
Dan So-mi smiled brightly and pulled on Jang Sam-tae’s collar.
A sigh escaped Jang Sam-tae’s mouth at this clearly endearing act. I searched through the bag and took out a silver coin.
“thank you!”
The stall owner greeted me brightly and bowed his head to the waist.
Recently, the atmosphere has been chaotic, so people have not been out and about, so business has been slow, but what could be happier than having a customer suddenly appear and sell you food?
“What are you doing? “Didn’t you ask me where I was from?”
Sreung!
The man pulled out his sword and pointed it at Jang Sam-tae. I felt a strong force that felt like it would blow off his head at any moment. At the same time, not only those in the carriage but even Jang Sam-tae prepared to rush towards them.
How dare you pull out a sword in front of Dan Somi?
This is an act that deserves heavenly punishment.
However, before anyone could step forward, Dansomi quickly approached the man.
“Would you like some of this?”
While saying that, he held out a skewer. There wasn’t even the slightest shadow on that innocent expression.
The man looked at Dansomi intently.
I also paid attention to the skewers held out in front of me. I wondered if there might be some other intention, but I couldn’t figure out anything from Dan Somi’s smiling face.
‘I can’t believe I can’t even read a child’s thoughts.’
The man retrieved the sword with a puzzled expression.
“It’s dangerous around here, so you should be careful.”
“Hehe, thank you. But Somi is okay! “ There’s Uncle Jang
.”
At the mention of Uncle Jang, the man glanced at Jang Sam-tae.
He didn’t seem to have that great ability, and wasn’t he just a driver pulling a carriage?
Seeing that he was trusting such a person, it seemed as if this little child did not yet know what the world was like.
At that time, the man’s eyes turned to the carriage.
Suddenly the door opened and a rather plain-looking woman appeared.
“Somi! Come here! What should I do if it suddenly happens?”
It was fragrant.
She scolded Somi with a dead blue face. As the castle rose slightly, Dan So-mi approached Mae-hyang’s side with a downcast expression.
They looked like mother and daughter. Since Maehyang didn’t even show any signs of learning martial arts, the man smiled and turned his back.
Then, he moved slightly and disappeared along with his companions.
“Whew… I thought something big was going to happen.” Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat and laughed awkwardly. If it weren’t for Maehyang and Dansomi, this area might have become Pivada by now.
“Where can I take you?”
Jang Sam-tae heaved a sigh of relief and climbed back into the coach seat.
It seemed impossible to go to Hyeongmunsan Mountain right away.
Also, his overriding goal was to keep Dansomi in a safe place, so his question was completely natural.
“First of all… let’s go to the government office.”
Namgungcheon’s somewhat stiff voice
was heard.
