Episode 152. People who sacrificed someone
Around noon.
When the Yangtze River passed the point where it split into three branches, the captain hurriedly went to Yeon Je-he and his party.
“Samurai, you will arrive at Kangjujin soon. The Yangtze River Watershed is there, so we’re going to leave right away instead of staying… Would you mind?”
The captain secretly examined the complexion of the Murim people.
Originally, the destination of the ship is Guguo, and you have to go about 1 Dagyeong (about 20 minutes) from Gangjujin. However, the Murim people said they would get off at Gangganjin.
Kang Ju-jin’s Yangtze River Water Pool is also the headquarter of brigands active in the Yangtze River area. So I came to check if it was really falling.
Yoo Geun-shik came out.
“Yes, but is there any problem?”
“Oh, rather than a problem…”
the captain blurted out.
People who were not related to the Yangtze River Channel Federation did not go to Kangjujin.
I was just thinking about it, but when it came out like that, I was scared.
It’s because I want to think, “Did I look down on you?”
“Oh, nothing happened. I just checked where the warriors would disembark.”
After speaking, the captain groaned and quickly returned.
Yoo Geun-sik turned around and shrugged his shoulders with a face that he didn’t know what was going on.
Belatedly, Yeon Jeok-ha asked Namgoong-yeon lightly.
“What happened?”
“The captain seems to be worried about us. I saw that he was checking to see if he was really going to get off at Kang Ju-jin.”
“Hmm.”
Yeonjeokha looked at the captain with strange eyes.
It was a bit surprising that he was worried about it even after seeing the martial arts of himself and his party.
“Is the Yangtze River Waterfall such a scary place?”
“Have you ever heard of the Yangtze River Waterway Federation?”
“no.”
Namgungyeon smiled at Yeonjeokha’s courageous answer.
“It’s an alliance formed by various brigands from the Yangtze River area. The head of the Yangtze River, the head of the Yangtze River, is the head of the Yangtze River. Among the residents of Kangjujin, there are few people who are not affiliated with the Yangtze River Waterway Federation. You will be surprised when you see it later.”
“Is it big enough to surprise me?”
“It is no exaggeration to say that it is a small kingdom ruled by the Yangtze River. There is no place on the island where his power does not reach. It is a place called the strongest of the strong.”
“The strongest of the strong?”
A heartache nearby sighed.
“Hehe. In simple terms, you can see it as a lawless world. I also spent a few months in my younger days. I really like the atmosphere.”
“Oops. you’ll be tough It is understandable that it is an island with an atmosphere that old Sim likes. If it’s that good, why would you just keep living there?”
“Hehe. At the time, I was strangely sick with seasickness. Then ‘Oh! Realizing that mountains are my constitution, I went to the mountains.”
“Tsk tsk! How did life turn out to be a number or a bandit?”
“Thanks to that, I met Confucius. Isn’t this all Heaven’s will?”
He shook his head excitedly at the shameless words of heartache.
In the meantime, the ship slowly entered a huge dock that was incomparably larger than before.
Finally, they arrived at Kang Ju-jin.
The captain dropped off the wagon with Yeonjeokha and left without looking back.
Watching the ship leave in a hurry, Seolchasu muttered.
“her! The person who asks me if I need anything in the morning and evening leaves in a cold wind.”
The director of the coachman said with a shrunken face.
“I had a drink with the captain last night, and even the word Kang Joo-jin sparked a fight.”
Yoo Geun-shik gave words of consolation.
“haha. don’t worry too much Even if they are brutes, ordinary people will not touch them.”
“Is that so?”
Then, shouts erupted from afar.
The eyes of the Yeon Jeok-ha party all at once turned to the epicenter of the sound.
It seemed that people who were going to and from the marina bumped into each other and got into a fight.
A savage-looking man in his forties started beating his opponent with abusive language.
Seeing Bakdo dangling around the waist of a man in his forties made him look like a Moorim man. On the other hand, the person being beaten was an ordinary person.
However, no one walking around stopped the uninhabited.
The Director, who was watching the scene, muttered with a drawn face.
“They said that ordinary people wouldn’t touch it.”
“It doesn’t look like numbers. “ I don’t think so
…”
“Let’s go to sleep.”
Yoo Geun-sik drove Isa toward the carriage.
I looked around the extension as if it were strange.
The scale is large, but it seemed like a huge market to be crowded with people here and there.
“Wow. Every area occupied by the Twelve Horses is in ruins, but it is different here.”
“Hehe. It doesn’t though. Unlike bandits who rob villages, do bandits not rob ships? Besides, this is also the home of bandits.”
“The sink is this big?”
Yeonjeokha looked at the heartache with surprised eyes.
No matter how you look at it, it was a huge port city with dozens of ships coming and going.
How could a city like this be home to brigands?
“Didn’t Sojeo Namgung tell you earlier? The entire island is dominated by the Yangtze River Waterfall. Keep an eye out for those passing by. More than half of them are wearing swords, right? They must be enemies somewhere.”
“Are all these people really numbers?”
“Half of them are indigenous people living in the area for generations. The armed guys are outnumbered, or the rest of the Sapa are natives.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was thinking about wild vegetables, opened his mouth wide.
It was only then that I could understand what Namgung-yeon said when he said that he would be surprised when he saw it later.
According to her words, Kang Joo-jin could be called a small kingdom.
“Are you guys going soon?”
Isa was already sitting in the driver’s seat as if he wanted to leave this place quickly.
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party climbed into the carriage one by one.
At that time, more than a dozen Murim people came rushing towards me with a snarky step.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was looking out the window, asked Sim-tong.
“Couldn’t it be?”
It’s been less than half an hour (about 7 minutes) since we got off the boat, but are we already getting into a fight?
Didn’t you do anything?
“Ughhh. There are eyes that see. It looks like they saw Sojeo Namgung and Seolha Jin. Because beautiful women here belong to strong men.”
“Wow. Is it the beast’s den?”
“It’s a place where the brigands of the Yangtze River gather, so it wouldn’t be wrong.”
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party all sat down, but the carriage did not start.
This is because unidentified men blocked the carriage.
Isa looked at the Blue Cloud Sword Namgungcheon next to him with a puzzled expression.
Namgungcheon sighed and spoke to the bandits.
“I don’t know who it is, but we are…”
At that moment, Namgungcheon cut off Namgungcheon’s words.
“What are we to freeze to death? I don’t care who you guys are. Put the women down right now and go. Then I’ll spare your pitiful life.”
At the man’s reckless words, the gentle Namgungcheon burst into anger.
“You bastard! You’re recklessly saying that it’s a pierced mouth! The one riding the wagon is the Green Forest General Patrol! If you guys want to keep your life, go away!”
Joo Eun-jang’s face hardened at the words green forest patrol.
“Are you really saying the gun patrol is on board?”
Yeonjeokha threw the patrol order out of the window.
Took.
The patrol order fell at the feet of Joo Eun-jang.
After examining the front and back of the patrol order, Eunjang Joo offered it again politely with both hands.
After a while, as the wagon pulled into the riverside road, he hurriedly spoke to his colleagues.
“You guys, spread the news that the gun patrol has arrived! I will follow the carriage.”
“yes!”
The nine bandits were scattered in all directions.
Joo Eun-jang followed the back of the wagon from a distance.
***
Joojin Kang.
Old family village.
The Yangtze River Sink, a member of the 72 Green Forests and the headquarters of the Yangtze River Waterway Federation, is located along the river like other sinks.
Five or six ships were anchored in a row at the large dock in front of the sink.
Of course, normal ships could not access this dock.
It is for this reason that Yeon Jeok-ha and his party landed at a port far away.
Yang Dae-ho, the owner of the Yangtze River, was drinking and cooking with his subordinates who had not gone out to plunder as usual.
Just when I was full and thought I couldn’t eat any more, someone came running in in a hurry.
Yang Dae-ho glanced around and saw that he was one of the bandits battling Kang Ju-jin.
Shin Yi-chung, the Black Bodhisattva, the fan owner who was chopsticking in the middle of the day, asked with a sullen face.
“What’s going on?”
“It is said that a green forest patrol has appeared in Kang Ju-jin’s outer port.”
The brigands of the Yangtze River Basin called Jiangzhou Town the Outer Port and Gujia Village the Inner Port.
“A gun patrol? Are you saying Yeonjeokhe came here?”
“Yes yes.”
“Did you see him come?”
“The Red Devil and his party said they saw the plaque of the gun patrol.”
“I get it. go away.”
“yes.”
When the person who delivered the message went away, Shin Yi-chung looked at Yang Dae-ho.
“Why did Chaeju-sama’s general patrol come here?”
“I know. Have you heard anything about the gun patrol?”
“Not at all. It’s something I hadn’t even heard of before. Aren’t you the one who was raised by the housekeeper through the back hole?”
Since he was close to Yang Dae-ho, his loyalty to the owner of the house was stronger than that of the owner of the house.
“Pacheonma-kun is not a person who gives up his seat just because he is a disciple. Look at the Twelve Demons. They also did not rise to the position of the general patrol.”
“Never mind. If so, don’t you say he’s only twenty years old now? Even if he learned martial arts from inside his mother’s belly, it wouldn’t work for Chaeju.”
“Puch. Hey, you have to cook it in the mother’s belly to learn how much.”
He giggled and said as if he had suddenly remembered.
“Do you remember what the merchants who went in and out of the harbor said? That the young master of the Yeon clan beat the masters of famous schools to death.”
“Are you talking about nonsense about turning into a monster?”
“Rather than that, that guy named Mr. Yeon seems like a gun patrol. Aren’t there any masters like that among the young Yeon?”
“I do, though.”
“If so. If the gun patrol really beat the famous religious leaders to death…”
Yang Dae-ho’s eyes narrowed as he wondered what he was thinking.
Shin Yi-chung, who had been watching him with a hard face, stood up.
“The leaders of the Yangtze River Waterway Federation will follow Chaeju. Shall we call them?”
“joy! Do you think I’m not good enough for a gun patrol? Do you think I’ll be beaten by that young bastard?”
“…”
Shin Yi-chung did not reply.
Chae-joo and his own life were at stake, so he was cautious.
Yang Dae-ho gulped down his drink, as if he didn’t like Shin Yi-chung’s prudent appearance.
Then he said, putting down the glass to break it.
“First of all, since the general patrol has visited, call everyone. I’ll have to see how great the general manager has appointed as the general patrol.”
Only then did Shin Yi-chung’s face soften.
In the current situation, that was the same as saying that the masters of the Yangtze River Channel Federation would be put in the forefront.
“All right. We will prepare a grand welcome event.”
Sin Yi-chung showed Yang Dae-ho the town and went out.
A heavy silence flowed from Yang Dae-ho’s mouth, who was left alone in the palace.
“Hmm!”
Can the masters of the Yangtze River Channel Federation deal with him?
it will probably be hard
There’s no way they’d be able to withstand the gun patrol, even if they weren’t even their opponents!
‘Let’s see how inactive it is for now.’
It is not his business to know that dozens of people die in the process.
After all, they are also people who have risen to the present position by sacrificing someone.
