Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 118

Episode 118. Burning people,

Henan.

Lango County.

A quad carriage rides calmly along the Guan Road above the yellow Yellow River. It is a carriage that carries Yeon Jeok-ha and his party to Mount Taishan.

The six people in the carriage sat facing each other in groups of three, their shoulders close together. It would have been unbearable in summer, but fortunately it was winter, so it was suitable to share the warmth.

An exclamation flowed from Jin Seol-ha’s mouth as he watched the ocher-colored water flowing proudly outside the window.

“Wow! That’s awesome. I think there is a lot to see even in winter. it’s a shame. If I’m not busy, I’ll stop by the river for a while and have a drink.”

Yoo Geun-sik, who was next to the driver’s seat, switched seats with Seol Cha-su and came inside.

“I think that because I am in a warm room. look out freeze to death nothing catches my eye It’s just cold. I’m sure brother-in-law Seol just wants to arrive soon, right?”

“Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. Next time I will take turns.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been listening with a calm face, said a word.

“I’ll take turns with Old Sim.”

“Hey enemy. Then we’ll take turns.”

At Namgungcheon’s words, Yeon Jeokha shook his head.

“Then, brother, please switch over. Sister Yeon can’t.”

“why?”

“Because it’s cold.”

“…”

Yeon Jeok-ha said so naturally that Namgung-cheon suddenly lost his words.

It’s cold, so everyone takes turns, but Namgung-yeon is the only one who doesn’t.

I was grateful for thinking of my younger brother, but on the other hand, I could see Jin Seol-ha’s attention.

Then, Namgoongyeon spoke briefly.

“are you okay.”

If the person concerned said it was okay, he did not oppose it anymore.

Others thought it was so and moved on, but Jinseol made me sick.

Not too long ago, I found out about the relationship between Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung Family, but I still felt strange.

Unlike Namgung-yeon, is it bittersweet about not being considered?

With this incident as an opportunity, she decided to get closer to Yeon Jeok-ha.

The carriage stopped at the riverside, as if the wind had blown through Jinseolha.

When it was lunchtime, the coachman stopped the carriage at an unknown open-air inn.

After Yeon Jeok-ha and his party went into the inn and ordered food, each of them slumped. It is to give rest to the tired body from the long carriage life.

After a while, hot fish soup boiled with fish caught in the Yellow River, stir-fried pork cheongchae rice, and steaming somen noodles were served.

“Yeonsohyup, try this.”

Jin Seol-ha put fish soup on a plate and held it out to Yeon Jeok-ha.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who accepted it without hesitation, expressed his gratitude with a shy face.

After that, Jinseolha served stir-fried meat and vegetables in moderation and placed them in front of Yeonjeokha.

He was kind and courteous, just like a landlord would treat a valuable guest.

Seol Cha-su and Yoo Geun-sik glanced at Yeonjeokha several times as if they were envious.

I really didn’t know what to do with the hospitality I had received for the first time in my life.

Seeing that, he laughed out of heartache, and the couple glared at him for no reason.

Something suddenly approached Namgungcheon, who was drinking fish soup without thinking.

Namgungcheon’s eyes widened as she looked down at something.

Just like Jin Seol-ha, Namgung-yeon put stir-fried pork and pushed it in front of him.

‘omg!’

Namgung-cheon was surprised by his younger brother’s behavior, which he hadn’t done before.

Even though I was moved, I wondered, ‘What kind of plan is this?’ I can’t shake my doubts.

It’s time for Namgungcheon, who had been hesitating, to stick out his chopsticks for stir-fried pork.

Namgung-yeon stopped eating and suddenly took the plate away.

‘huh?’

At Namgungyeon’s whim, Namgungcheon only scratched his head.

I don’t know why my younger brother, who has never been back and forth, is doing that today.

After finishing the meal in light tension, Yeon Jeok-ha and his party went back to the carriage.

It wasn’t until after the carriage started moving that they realized that Namgoongyeon was missing.

There was a heartache in Namgung-yeon’s place.

Come to think of it, Seol Chasu Yoo Geun-sik and Jin Seol-ha are all sitting side by side in the front row. It seems that Namgung-yeon, who said it was okay, switched with Seol Cha-soo without anyone knowing.

At that time, Jin Seol-ha, who was sitting facing Yeon Jeok-ha, asked with a smile.

“What is Yeon Sohyeop’s favorite food?”

“I don’t really like anything. Because I tend to eat well regardless.”

“Oh, that’s right. Then what is your favorite season?”

“autumn?”

“Why do you like autumn?”

“Because it’s neither cold nor hot.”

When I was in the warehouse, hot days were hard because it was hot, and cold days were hard because it was cold. I think that’s why I liked autumn when it gets a bit cooler.

“huh? Doesn’t Yeon Sohyeop have a high level of martial arts so that he can’t feel the heat and cold?”

“I liked that when I was younger.”

“Ah…”

Jinseohe nodded without thinking.

Had she known of Yeon Jeok-ha’s past, she would have gone a little deeper, but it ended there.

Meanwhile, Namgung-yeon, who volunteered to sit next to the driver’s seat, was as stiff as a stone statue.

She was uncomfortable that she was conscious of Jin Seol-ha.

No, the answer is that I can’t understand it.

It’s not Jin Seol-ha’s fault.

she is a beautiful and cute woman

She is a flawless, natural-born woman who is good at caring for herself.

Cheerful, kind, and even caring.

If you think about it, it seems like the exact opposite of you.

I came out with a frustrated heart, but that didn’t change anything.

‘ha! Why did you do that!’

His incomprehensible actions came to his mind.

He imitated Jin Seol-ha, but stopped right away because he looked pathetic. In the eyes of others, it must have seemed strange.

***

Shandong Province.

Taesan.

Dujiazhuang Village

around noon. About 50 armed green swords appeared on the way to the village.

Gwangpungchae Chaeju, Guiyeongslaughter Samadan in the lead shouts to his subordinates.

“good! Kill anything that gets in your way! Sweep away anything that makes money!”

“Kill Kill! Got it!”

“Hehe.”

The Green Forest Islands ran forward with eerie laughter.

Soon after, the villagers jumped out of their homes with a scream and ran around.

In just one meal (about 30 minutes), Dujijang Village turned into ruins.

Flames soared everywhere and dozens of corpses piled up on the streets.

After a while, the bandits who finished plundering gathered again at the entrance of the village.

Some were carrying a bundle while others were holding a woman by her hair. Some even tied up men and dragged them around.

A satisfied smile appeared on Samadan’s face as he looked around at those subordinates.

“let’s go!”

As Samadan took the lead, more than fifty thieves followed suit, each carrying their loot.

Among the thieves, a man in his fifties, the only one with empty hands, walked slowly from the rear. This is Taesan Ilgo Gu Guo-beom, who was the owner of Gwangpungchae until three years ago.

He glared at the back of Samadan’s head with wide frowning eyes.

‘Crazy man! Even if there is no income in winter, to ruin a village close to the mountain. I’m not crazy.’

In the winter, if the merchant’s rank is low, he sometimes robs the village.

But it also has its own rules.

For example, by raiding villages far from the mountains, or by minimizing looting as much as possible.

Losing the kindness of the village close to the sanchae makes everyone feel uncomfortable. First of all, it is difficult to procure daily necessities, and when they complain to the government, even the government troops are mobilized.

But that Samadan is plundering the villages around Sanchae. Not only did he steal property, but he did not hesitate to commit murder and arson.

‘I’m not begging for the subjugation party to come… What the hell are you thinking?’

Samadan does not prepare for tomorrow at all.

Looking at what he’s doing, he’s a guy who can only live for today. The thieves feel good right away by slicing and plundering property, but they can’t last for several years like that.

‘Sick bastards. Will you live and die today? I can’t live without worrying about this…’

I just hope that the general manager, Pacheonma-gun, will solve it first before he gets killed by the government forces.

***

Mid-February.

Shandong Province.

Taean.

Around dusk, the wagon carrying Yeon Jeok-ha and his party finally arrived at Taean. To go from Taean to Taesan in half a day by carriage means we are almost there.

The party rushed to a nearby inn.

Namgungcheon took all three vacant rooms as a representative, and then divided the rooms into men and women of Yeon Jeok-ha and Shimtong. Considering that Yeonjeokha and Heartache were green trees, he was considerate.

Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim-tong unpacked their luggage and went down to the dining room.

The other people were already hungry and had already come down to the restaurant and took their seats.

Because of the regular customers, the three members of the Justice League and the Namgungcheon siblings seemed to be sitting apart.

Jin Seol-ha, who found Yeonjeok-ha, smiled and gestured.

However, Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim Tong passed by Jin Seol-ha and went to the table of Namgungcheon’s brother and sister.

Seol Cha-soo hinted at Jin Seol-ha, who suddenly died.

“Sister. there is no seat here If you think about the Shim route boat, going that way is the right thing to do.”

“Oh, I see.”

Only then did Jinseolha’s face straighten slightly.

Yoo Geun-sik said with a smile.

“It’s not okay to express your liking too blatantly. You have to know how to push and pull.”

“You don’t like me yet?”

“what? Even if it’s not that much? If you like it, you will do a very big job.”

“Whoops! Big things are basic. Young men and women like it, but is it a big deal?”

“Oh hey. Don’t say that with a pretty face. I am really worried.”

Yoo Geun-sik shook his head excitedly.

“Don’t get involved with the priest. Because you accept it, you keep doing it more and more. Sister-in-law can just leave it alone. Then it burns on its own and goes out on its own.”

It is time for three young men and women in the Justice League to talk about things that are not poetic.

Nearby guests whispered with serious faces.

“Did you hear the news? Yesterday, the two heads of households were killed.”

“Is it the Gwangpungchae bastards again?”

“Then who is it? This time, those who resisted were killed. It seems that quite a few men, as well as women, were taken.”

“No, are they crazy? Why are you doing something you didn’t do? How many times have you been near Taishan already? Five times?”

“Seven times until yesterday. It seems like Chae-joo has been going crazy since he changed.”

“They said they only watched in the coffin? Haven’t you been like that since last spring? You subjugated it for a long time last summer, so why didn’t you do it then?”

“You suddenly withdrew from the Jegal Sega that said you would help. It was blown over by the wind.”

“Why did they just throw in the wind? If he hadn’t stepped forward from the beginning, the hyeonryeong would have pushed for it alone.”

“I don’t know. People on the Justice League side come and go these days, so how can I get to know them?”

A bitter smile appeared on the face of Seol Cha-soo, who was listening.

Certainly, the Justice League has lost a lot of momentum these days, unlike before. The Justice League takes too long to reconsider when they are at odds with Myunggyo until the green forest.

Seol Cha-soo glanced down at the Yeonju enemy.

Even if he is within reach of Taesan, he looks calm and weak.

‘Are the rumors about the famous religion exaggerated?’

I don’t know if people are scared and making a fuss about the galaxy field. Looking at his face, anyone would have such thoughts.
