< The Return of the Warlord Episode 59 >
Tang Mun-hye bit her lip tightly.
The Sacheon branch of Cheonjigyo was destroyed.
That alone is enough to have done its job, but what is not satisfactory at all is the fact that it has not been able to catch the one it should have.
A priestess of Cheonjigyo.
Due to the nature of the Church of Heaven and Earth, which revolves around the religious leader and the priestess, capturing the priestess was like pressing the first button that could lead to their collapse.
But I can’t catch it at all.
They thought it was dark under the lamp, so they sent people to search the capital and searched the area, and they followed the thief’s escape route and followed them persistently.
But there wasn’t much success.
“Isn’t he dead by now? Actually, quite a lot of people died during the attack… They may have been mixed in…”
“No, that can’t be possible.”
Tang Wen-hye shook her head and thought.
If that were the case, it is right that there should be retaliation from the Church of Heaven and Earth in some way. However, seeing as there was no such thing yet, it seemed certain that the priestess was alive.
“Oh my god, why is this Church of Heaven and Earth bothering people so much? If only I had known the main base, I would have pushed it away already…” “
…If it had been easy, it wouldn’t have grown this big.”
Tang Mun-hye frowned and sighed.
Capturing the Cheonji Church priestess is not only about her influence over the Cheonji Church and a way to destroy them.
By doing what the Murim League could not do, Cheondohoe is an opportunity to tilt the influence of the political faction a little more towards Cheondohoe.
What if we say that Sacheondanga is at the center of it all?
You can surpass the Namgung family and earn the name of the best family.
“Ah… lady! miss!”
At that time, someone shouted loudly outside.
Soon the door burst open and another man hurriedly entered. He had a book with him, and he quickly put it down in front of Tang Wen-hye and opened his mouth.
“I found traces!”
“is it so? Where is it?”
“It looks like we left the mountain and went to the main road. “I checked the road and there were traces of a carriage passing by.”
“It’s a carriage… it’s a carriage…”
So did they steal the carriage and run away?
Tang Mun-hye drew a map in her head.
Where can we quickly escape the influence of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty? And what is the shortest route to get there?
Soon, something was clearly pictured in my mind.
Tang Mun-hye, who rarely smiles, opened her mouth with a smile on her face.
“Set out a poison squad and chase them along the road to Cheonghae. “I will go soon too.”
“All right.”
Cheonghae is home to Kunlun, a faction of the nine factions and one faction.
Although it is not as good as it used to be, its influence has not disappeared and it is the place in this city where you can escape from the power of the party the fastest.
So, he must have chosen the route to Cheonghae.
She was determined to hold on this time.
“Now then, shall we go finish up?”
“Oh my… it’s annoying.”
Seeing Tang Mun-hye’s appearance, the man awkwardly stood up from his seat with an annoyed expression on his face.

Rumbling –
The carriage is shaking unusually loudly.
This is because the road was not properly paved and got stuck on rocks here and there. Geum Geum-ran, who was lying with the two coffins, was also shaken by the shaking and soon hit her head on the floor.
thud!
“iced coffee…!”
sick.
It hurts very much.
Geum Geum-ran had no time to think about what this pain was. Without realizing it, I grabbed my head with both hands and moaned.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…! “What on earth…?”
As soon as the pain began to subside, she slowly opened her eyes and encountered something in front of her.
It’s the face of someone who doesn’t know if it’s a human face or a monster’s face. One side of his face was so swollen and bruised so badly that if you saw him in the dark, you would be scared.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah-!?”
Immediately, I burst out in astonishment and stamped my foot without realizing it.
puck! As I kicked the thing in front of me, I felt him flinch and let out a small moan. However, it didn’t seem to hurt much, perhaps because it had no effect at all.
But it works.
“Ugh… Ugh…! Si… priestess…?”
“Tae… Tae Gong? “Are you Taegong?”
“Which place is it?”
“That’s… that’s what I wanted to ask. “What on earth happened?”
What is this shaking feeling and why is Jin Tai-gong’s face so numb? The otherwise unhandsome face has now turned hideous.
I felt like I was getting goosebumps just looking at it.
Without realizing it, I turned my head and avoided eye contact.
“ah! “Are you awake?”
Then a bright voice was heard.
When I looked in the direction where I heard the sound, I saw a woman with a familiar face in front. The moment I checked it, what surprised me the most was none other than the prohibited column.
“Uh… How did you get here…?”
“yes? “This is our carriage. You two were lying on the street… so I left them there.”
“You said you put it in…?”
“yes!”
Geum Geum-ran broke into a cold sweat as he looked at Dan So-mi, who answered energetically. I couldn’t decide if I should like this or be angry.
However, looking at Dansomi, it didn’t seem like she had any malicious intent.
Is that your original way of speaking?
Or is that just how kids these days are?
Jin Geum-ran doubted his common sense for a moment.
“Is your body okay?”
“Oh… yes I’m fine.”
“What a relief! “He didn’t move for a few days, so I was wondering if I should bury him like this.”
“….”
“….”
Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong were left speechless by the innocent woman’s words as she clapped her hands together. Are you asking questions while the person is still alive?
Or do you mean to bury him thinking he is dead?
It’s a story I can’t quite grasp.
Without realizing it, cold sweat broke out.
“Are you awake?”
At that time, Geum Geum-ran flinched at the sudden sound. The person who showed his face next to Dan So-mi was definitely the man she had seen in Chengdu.
He still gave me an indifferent look and seemed to have no interest in whether he was awake or not.
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“Okay… I should be thankful.”
At that time, a small smile appeared on Dan Woo-hyeon’s lips.
If it weren’t for sweetness, it would never have been possible to live. Just by looking at them with their swords drawn and blocking the carriage, I could guess what they were trying to do.
“Do you know the city priestess?”
“Yes, just for a moment…”
Geum Geum-ran struggled to turn his head and frown.
They clearly said they were going to steal the carriage and run away, but that plan seemed to have gone awry. From the looks of it, it looks like Jin Tae-gong has been beaten and they have been taken prisoner.
‘You idiot! Even if we catch these people….’
I believed in Jin Tae-gong until the end, but did you think such a major accident would happen in the end? It might have been better to be captured by the party.
“But… are you okay with that? “My face was very swollen…”
At that time, Namgung Sohye suddenly appeared and asked.
At that moment, Jin Tae-gong raised his eyes.
It feels like the surroundings are becoming brighter.
She fell into the illusion of light coming down around her, and the withered flowers seemed to form buds and bloom brightly.
I nodded without realizing it, without feeling any pain, as if the pain of my still numb face had disappeared from my mind.
“is it so? thank god. “This is Geumchang medicine, so apply some if necessary.”
Geum Geum-ran made a sad expression at Namgung So-hye’s kind appearance. I was jealous because she had a pretty face and a good heart.
But soon he burst into laughter.
Because no matter how beautiful she is, Jin Tae-gong knows that she is single-minded. So I looked back at Jin Tae-gong with a relaxed expression.
Finally, for a moment, my expression hardened without me realizing it.
This is because Jin Tae-gong was seen staring at Namgung So-hye.
“Tae Tae Gong? “What are you staring at so intently?”
“A little…”
“Yes?”
“Try to stay still. “Isn’t the fairy speaking now?”
“Seo… a fairy?!”
“yes?!”
Geum Geum-ran was startled and raised his eyes wide.
This is because Jin Tae-gong has never shown himself like this before. Soon, without realizing it, I turned my gaze towards Namgung Sohye.
But she was smiling bitterly, perhaps feeling a bit absurd.
“ha ha ha. Thank you. “I guess this isn’t necessary?”
“Please… please! “It’s given to you by a fairy, so how can you not receive it?”
“yes yes.”
Namgoong Sohye is not very impressed.
When he threw away the gold spear medicine in his hand, Jin Taegong took it and bowed his head.
His appearance was indescribably polite and full of respect, as if he had been given a valuable item by a divine being.
At that sight, Namgung So-hye clicked her tongue and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
“Why do you have to bring a crazy person?”
“I don’t think I’m crazy, but… there wasn’t a bad wind blowing.”
“Ugh… that damn wind. “If it blows twice, the house will be ruined.”
Namgung Sohye sighed.
The fact that Dan Woo-hyeon, who does not interfere in people’s affairs, put them on the carriage meant that he judged them to be the talents needed for this journey.
I don’t intend to complain about that, but no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t really fit that guy’s personality.
I had an ominous feeling that I would have some trouble in the future.
“By the way… what on earth are these people doing?”
“Didn’t you hear that a little while ago?”
“What do you mean?”
What kind of words were exchanged?
I didn’t pay much attention to them because they only said ridiculous things.
So I had no idea what was being said.
“They say she’s a priestess.”
“…yes?”
Namgung Sohye wondered if her ears were wrong. Otherwise, there would be no way such a ridiculous sound could have been heard.
New woman? A priestess?
Is that the person Tang Mun-hye was looking for?
Then, that woman is one of the mainstays of Cheonjigyo.
Is this the priestess!?
“I beg your pardon?!”
Soon, a loud, ear-piercing roar filled the carriage.
