Episode 264. In the age of survival,
Muyoungshintu Baekgyo turned his head to the side to avoid Namgoongyeon’s gaze.
Namgoongyeon’s soft voice reached his ears.
“There are few people who can get you out of prison. Especially if you can be that confident. The person who traded stolen goods must be the chief of the police force or the musketeer.”
“…”
Baek Kyo’s shoulders drooped.
Not a speck of dust can be hidden from her presence.
“Can’t you just leave me alone?”
Maybe someone else doesn’t know?
I couldn’t tell Namgoong-yeon the truth.
Since the person who bought the stolen goods had a bad relationship with her, it was clear that only she would be taken advantage of.
Namgungyeon did not press him for an answer.
As the head of the police force is a high priest of Shaolin Temple, there is no way he would buy Buddha’s relics that way.
If so, the only person left is Jegal Seung-woon, a musketeer and a mysterious investigator.
If you choose to trade with the musketeers, it is understandable to reject yourself to the end.
Sapa people fundamentally do not believe in Jeongpa people.
It must be because he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of and then kicked out.
But he doesn’t know how terrifying the musketeer is.
A musketeer is a person who pushes his colleagues to death for the sake of the Zhuge family.
Should he just leave Baek Gyo, who witnessed the stolen goods transaction?
“The musketeer is…”
Just as Namgung-yeon was about to give a warning, Dae-ju Gongji, the ambassador of the riot police, entered the prison.
“haha. Sojeo Namgung. How are you doing up to here? Have you come to find the law? His mouth is so heavy, it won’t work the usual way.”
Namgung-yeon said to the ambassador Gongji.
“no. Green Forest’s general patrol came to ask if Baek Gyo stole something.”
“So how are you? He says he didn’t steal it, but I have to be able to trust him.”
Ambassador Gongji looked at Namgoongyeon with expectant eyes.
I heard so much about the ability of Pragmatic Reading.
If she’s as great as the rumors are, it’s a big help in the current situation.
“It seems clear that he is in trouble. Then I’m done.”
Namgung-yeon left the prison before Ambassador Gongji said anything.
***
Jeong Ju-seong.
Hash Horse (11pm).
A drunken young man stumbled along the brothel street.
After a while, his face was revealed in the bright moonlight.
It was Namrin, who quickly returned to Jeongjuseong after a long walk in Chiliha Village.
“Cyberl! Money is zokuna! huh? what?”
Namrin shook his head to come to his senses when someone appeared in front of him.
squeak.
With an eerie sound, Namrin’s head flew off.
The masked assassin took a bundle of money from Namrin’s arms and disappeared into the darkness.
***
Chilihachon.
Cheonji League.
Early moning.
The leader, Mugeuk Merchant, stepped forward in front of about two hundred and eighty masters of the orthodox faction lined up in the front yard.
“The reason we gathered under the banner of the Heavenly League is to annihilate the famous religion. And today we finally go out to do just that. I wish you good luck, comrades.”
Along with the horse, the Mugeuk Merchant practiced with the masters of the Jeongsa faction.
Unlike the previous launch ceremonies, slogans such as ‘Death to death’ and ‘Chunchu’ did not appear.
It is out of consideration for the Sapa masters who accompany them.
Masters of Hyeonmudae, Jujakdae, and Indae passed the podium in front and walked to the main gate.
So the masters of the orthodox sect left for the battlefield.
The martial arts merchant, who was standing on the podium with a hard face, turned his gaze to the side.
“Musketeers, what do you think will be the outcome of this fight?”
“Gyogu-hyeon (Hyeonmu-dae’s destination) is difficult to predict as there are many variables.”
“What about walnut mountain (the destination of the scapula and ligaments)?”
“Nothing is easy in this world. Aren’t babies desperate even when suckling?”
War and sucking a baby’s breast are completely different things, so you can say it’s a pun.
However, the Mugeuk Merchant saw through the bony expression in it.
‘hmm! Desperate…’
Jegal Seung-woon’s hostility towards the Namgung family is already known.
But why ligaments?
“Do you have a deep meaning in sending ligaments to Walnut Mountain?”
“It seems that Pacheonma-kun doesn’t have the heart to jump into this fight yet. However, if something happened to Black Narcissus, wouldn’t it be a little more serious?”
‘He’s a scary person.’
The Mugeuk Merchant stuck his tongue out inwardly.
It was said that he was going to sacrifice Heuksu Seon, the daughter of Pacheon Demon Army and the most beautiful woman in Gangbuk.
Still, it’s killing two birds with one stone, as it cuts down Sapa’s power.
“ha! I wish you only good news.”
The confused merchant went back first, leaving Jegal Seung-un behind.
Jegal Seung-un, who was left alone and lost in his thoughts, was approached by the head of the prison guard.
“Sir.”
“What is it?”
“Baegyo, who is imprisoned, asks to see the musketeer. What should I do?”
“me?”
“yes.”
“What a big deal. Got it. Let’s drop by.”
“I apologize for bothering you.”
The head of the guard bowed moderately and walked away.
Jegal Seung-un, who was looking at his back with a benevolent look, narrowed his eyes.
I have no idea why Baek Gyo wants to meet him.
‘I bet you don’t know Namrin, right?’
While Baek-gyo is the master of green forest, Nam-rin is a pickpocket in the back alley, so there is nothing to do with him.
I felt uncomfortable even though I thought there was no way the two could get along.
It’s like stepping into a swamp.
‘I’ll know when I meet him.’
Jegal Seung-woon shook off his thoughts.
No matter how complicated it is, if you take care of one thing at a time, it will be over.
After a while, Jegal Seung-un visited the prison.
He defeated the head of the guard and all the guards and entered the prison alone.
Baegyo, who was sitting on the other side of the thick grate, smiled and raised her upper body.
Iron gruck. Iron gruck.
The sound of the chain on Baek Kyo’s ankle scratching the floor echoed through the prison.
Jegal Seung-woon said to Baek-gyo, who came closer with a calm face.
“I heard you want to meet me.”
“haha. old musketeer. It is an honor to meet you.”
Baek Gyo smirked and looked up and down at Jegal Seung-un.
It is a relaxed attitude, as if looking at prey that has been caught.
“I can’t say it’s an honor. We are in a situation where we are fighting together in the name of Heaven and Earth.”
“So, you have to let me go.”
“Shouldn’t you say something like that to those who arrested you?”
“It’s not because the police officers don’t believe me.”
Jegal Seung-woon frowned at Baek Gyo’s harsh words.
The deengjung of the guards must mean the great owner, Gongji Ambassador.
It’s like a madou to be in the middle of the high priest of Shaolin Temple.
“The decision regarding you is entirely up to Ambassador Gongji…”
“I saw a kid four days ago. Turns out he and I were after the same thing. I have a knack for jumping over fences, but he’s good with his hands. It was so nice that he came and went in and out of the arms of a man from Muheosan like his own home.”
Baek Kyo’s words were shortened.
In an instant, Jegal Seung-woon’s face contorted.
‘Could this Madou see it?’
Baek Gyo, who was looking at Jegal Seung-woon’s expression with a funny face, said triumphantly.
“That night. That kid met someone in the pine field behind Cheonjimaeng. musketeer you know I am not the culprit, I am the only witness at the crime scene.”
“I didn’t know who he was. I just met a person who wanted to sell the Beopbo.”
“Yes, this floor is like that. Knowing and being deceived, unknowingly being deceived. I understand everything, so please release it. The reason I called you was to do it quietly.”
“As I said, this is an ambassador for Gongji…”
“Huh. If you keep disappointing me, things could get worse. Why can’t a person who can read or write know such a simple logic? Are you trying to float me? This Mooyoungshintu?”
Baek-gyo, who caught the opponent’s weakness, acted like a bad boy.
A shotgun ceremony flowed from the mouth of Jegal Seung-woon, who was hardened like a stone.
Anyway, I had to give up here anyway.
“ha! All right. Is that all you want?”
“Can it be? You know that it won’t end like that. Do you know that there are only one or two people who want the Zhuge family to perish? Even just yesterday, Namgung-yeon came to visit. Whew! Fuck! Those eyes are real. Baekchimi is the best for women. No matter how pretty you are, you can’t live with a woman like that. is not it?”
“What did you talk about with her?”
A light flashed in Jegal Seungwoon’s eyes.
For a moment, Baek Gyo couldn’t help but be startled.
I didn’t think much of the musketeer’s inaction, but I think I was wrong.
He was never under the red wind chaebolism.
Baek Kyo secretly took the strength out of his eyes.
“I said I didn’t steal it. After that, he kept talking to himself. Then when the crowd came, I just went back. That’s all.”
The tone of speech, which seemed like a crazy bitch, was back to the beginning.
“Did you say anything else? About someone who seems to be the culprit or who buys stolen property.”
For a moment, Baek Gyo couldn’t help but be surprised once again.
It seems that people with good brains are definitely different.
How could a person who wasn’t there talk like he saw it from the side?
“Just as I was about to bring up such a story, a friend came and the story was over.”
Baek Kyo did not convey Namgung-yeon’s words.
Instinctively, I thought it would be dangerous for some reason, so I adjusted the water level.
“All right. So what do you want?”
“A slip of 50,000 nyang. I’m thinking of washing my hands right now and living a quiet life somewhere.”
“I will. It’s hard to get you out today. I have eyes that see I will release you within a few days. I’ll meet you later and give you the money.”
Jegal Seung-un planned to take care of Baek Kyo’s affairs while Nam Gung-yeon went to Mt. Hodu.
“Wednesday is a little different, but tomorrow. release me by tomorrow I can’t spend more days in a gutter like this.”
“ha! Tomorrow is difficult. We have to produce proof that you are not the culprit, so we will do it the day after tomorrow.”
There was some truth in Jegal Seung-un’s words, so Baek Gyo couldn’t be stubborn.
“Okay. day after tomorrow. If you don’t let me out that day, I’ll tell the police what I saw. Keep your promise if you don’t want to vomit the stolen goods.”
“Don’t worry, just rest for a few days and think about going out.”
“haha. Even if you don’t, I intend to.”
“If you have nothing more to say, I’m done.”
Jegal Seung-woon slowly turned around.
The face of Jegal Seung-un, who stood with his back to his opponent, was distorted like an evil spirit.
Again, the swamp was right.
It seems to have already been submerged up to the knees.
But I can’t entangle myself with just this much.
As you can see from the fall of the Namgung family, now is the era of survival, not righteousness and cooperation.
If it’s for the sake of the Zhuge family, you can cut your intention and cut your sword.
Just as Zen monks kill patriarchs and Buddhas and devote themselves to their efforts.

Zheng Juseong Guando.
Heuksu-seon, who had been walking with ligaments, looked ahead and asked.
“Machaeju. Why is the General Patrol not going with us and staying at Suzakudae?”
Ma Hyeong-do, the owner of Obong Sanchae, answered with a smile.
“That’s because the younger brother is a bee.”
“Are the flowers here?”
When the black daffodil pointed at my face, the thieves of Obong Sanchae laughed.
“no? Did I say something wrong? Why are you laughing?”
Hwang Yo-myeong, a poisonous pericardium, intervened.
“Our general patrol is single-minded, so he has no interest in other flowers.”
“Single-hearted? Who are you talking about?”
“You mean it’s so clear to our eyes, but we can’t see it?”
“…”
Only then did Heuksu-seon realize that he was referring to Namgung-yeon.
“Ah no.”
Of course, Namgoong-yeon is beautiful even when she sees herself as the most beautiful woman in Gangbuk.
Still, that was the image of an immature younger brother following a caring older sister.
