Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 807

Episode 807. Three Birds With One Stone (一石三鳥)

If peace lasts, you will not be aware of the extent of the crisis.

Soyang Han was like that.

For example, she also knew that Cheonhoso soldiers had invaded the front of the Qingchengpa Mountain Gate.

However, Cheonhoso’s attack ended with several cannons falling on the outskirts of Qingshengpa.

After that, I heard that the provincial commander came, but I didn’t really feel it.

Maybe it was because the Qingsheng faction was not harmed.

There was only the sound of cannon fire from a distance, but there was no change in the daily life of the Qingsongpa guru.

So she overlooked how great the military power of the first rank was.

‘What do you do when you live alone? If I die, I will die.”

It was easy to avoid the prying eyes of the Qingsong faction masters.

They were wary of the outside because they didn’t care what anyone was doing inside.

However, the soldiers of Cheonhoso were different.

Even if it wasn’t, it was a battle where the provincial commander was seriously injured, so they were fully vigilant.

In the first place, it was impossible for a disciple of Nak Seong-moon to secretly escape from the tent of the three-four-fold father-in-law.

In the end, Han So-yang was captured by the Cheonho-so soldiers even before it was one day (about 20 minutes) after leaving the Cheongseong faction.

The soldiers of Cheon Ho-so immediately handed over the traitor Han So-yang to the golden throne.

Geumuiwi, who was even beaten by a North Korean warrior, treated Han So-yang cruelly, as if taking out his anger.

Fingernails and toenails were pulled out, as well as arms and legs were supported with irons.

A hut near Mt. Cheongseong.

Guard Yeo Su-dam of the Golden Guard pulled out the iron from the brazier with a grave face.

Then, he said, pushing it in front of the face of Han So-yang, who was tied to a chair.

“Han So-yang. Your sins are not light indeed. If you want to save your life, tell me about your relationship with the younger enemy.”

“…no relation whatsoever.”

“You take care of a traitor like you when you have no relationship? Even while seriously injuring the Bukjin Musa and the Do Commander? Who do you know as an idiot?”

Along with the words, Yeosu-dam put the iron on Han So-yang’s leg.

Smoke rose with a musty smell.

Han So-yang, who was writhing in pain, gritted her teeth and said,

“What answer do you want! Do you think you’d be whole if I were the woman of the grand agreement that I opened? I know it’s nothing to do with anything! You’re doing this to me!”

Only then did Yeosudam gently remove the iron from her leg.

“You are giving a sincere answer for the first time. Didn’t it come out like that right away?”

“Why are you doing this to me when you know that you have nothing to do with the grand agreement I opened?”

“Because there is only one thing. who knows Could we have missed something?”

“no! If there’s something I don’t know about, you won’t be able to die completely!”

“…”

Yeosudam looked at Han Soyang with ambiguous eyes.

Seeing that it doesn’t come out even though I shaved it this much, it seems that it really isn’t there.

When torture is applied, people tend to exaggerate even the smallest of ties.

However, there was nothing like that between Han So-yang and Yeon Jeok-ha.

‘her! Great! To think he was protecting a woman he hadn’t known at all.’

Why did he protect this woman when he knew he would be accused of a traitor?

It was difficult for his common sense to understand.

After inserting the iron into the brazier, Yeosu-dam turned around shaking his hands.

Yeosudam immediately went to visit his superior, Jo Myunghwa Sogi.

He also reported what he had learned from torturing Han So-yang over the past two days.

When his words were finished, Jo Myung-hwa, who had been listening silently, spoke.

“There is information that the South Jin is digging behind the North Jin. It must be because of Yeonju. If Yeon Jeok-ha becomes guilty of high treason, many of the people involved in the South Jin will be purged.”

“If you do…”

“Clean up Han So-yang so that no back talk comes out.”

“It’s not a pressure, is it a cleanup?”

Yeosudam glanced at Jo Myunghwa’s hopes.

In the current situation, cleanup means killing and burying.

People say that people disappear when they enter the golden chair, but that is not the case.

Most sinners are confined in prison on the golden throne.

Of course, then, on the right day, they are beheaded.

However, it was not common to kill criminals before the judgment was given, as it is now.

Yeosudam asked softly.

“Is the pressure from the south Jin strong?”

He wondered if the situation was so precarious that he had to kill and bury Han So-yang, the daughter of a shaman.

“Because the necks of the southern Jin warriors who hold the real power are hanging. Won’t they also struggle to survive? We can’t leave an excuse for a counterattack.”

“A counterattack? Yeon Jeok-ha has already hurt the Bukjin Musa and the provincial commander… is that possible?”

“Because superiors pursue a cause. If it turns out that Yeon Jeok-ha has nothing to do with Han So-yang, nothing good will happen to our advance north. If there is a theory of sympathy that the North Jin pressured Yeonjeokha and the matter escalated, the North Jin could take the blame entirely. There was a saying by a North Jin warrior that the goal of the South Jin was that.”

“ah!”

“So organize it so that the outside world doesn’t know about it.”

“yes!”

Yeosudam didn’t ask any more.

Even if he thought about it, it was right that the traitor Han So-yang should die for the sake of the imperial family and the peace of North Jin.

Returning to the hut, Yeosu-dam immediately killed Han So-yang and set the hut on fire.

And he reported to Jo Myung-hwa and So-gi that ‘a criminal was burned to death by a fire of unknown cause’.

The news reached Ryu Yi-geun, the commander of the Wei, through Hashijin Cheonho.

Ryu Yi-geun looked at Hashi-jin with ambiguous eyes.

“There’s no way that would be the case, but didn’t you try your hand at Han So-yang in Bukjin?”

“It can’t be. It is true that Han So-yang is a traitor, but we, North Jin, do not kill unsentenced criminals. We know that the candle fell and started a fire.”

“It’s a candle. I get it. I will also post it after seeing the commander.”

“How is the Commander-in-Chief’s condition?”

“Fortunately, there are no serious injuries other than six broken front teeth.”

“Huh! Following the Bukjin Musa, touching the body of a provincial commander… Yeonjeokha has crossed an irreversible line. By the way, is it possible for the provincial commander to lead?”

“You have already sent soldiers to three ranks. He said that if 22,000 soldiers gather, the Cheongseongpa will be pulverized.”

“If it’s not true, all four stomachs are mobilized. Tsk tsk! What are you doing to catch a traitor?”

Hashijin sang joy inwardly.

Even if 22,000 soldiers farted, the Cheongseong faction would collapse.

‘The work that started with Han So-yang will now be finished.’

He thought this time was the end of the series.

No matter how much he is a martial artist, there is a limit to his inner strength.

It is for this reason that the Murim people cannot compete with the military.

If you push with the quantity and number of people, even the best masters are bound to collapse from exhaustion.

If you have four guns, there are about a hundred artillery pieces and a thousand two hundred archers.

With that kind of army, it would take less than 15 minutes to turn green onions into powder.

Northern Directly.

Hwangseong.

Late at night, the two sat facing each other in the center of the vast imperial palace.

It looks like the emperor and the commander of the golden guard.

Even though there were only two of them, the emperor looked around with anxious eyes.

The appearance of looking at the emperor with pitying eyes said.

“your majesty. Please don’t worry too much. Here, Cheoksa Shinju (斥邪神珠), the true relic of Buddha, is hidden in the four pillars of Cheonchujeong Pavilion. No matter how much they are gods, if you are here, you won’t be able to peek easily.”

“If you can’t easily peek at it, doesn’t it mean you can peek at it?”

The shape shook its head at the emperor’s point.

“Because I was careful with my convictions, I made a mistake in my words. There is nothing perfect in the world, so don’t worry, I just said ‘easy’. They can’t peep.”

“Is that so? Hearing your words gives me a little relief. However, don’t trust the Dharma too much. They are the ones who don’t even care about that dharma.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“What happened to the Qingsheng Faction?”

“Because North Jin is working hard, the results will be revealed sooner or later.”

“Is the provincial commander seriously injured?”

“It is said that several teeth are broken, but there is nothing wrong with the bones and tendons.”

“It’s different from the time of the northern warriors.”

“As far as I know, the Bukjin Musa suffered harm because he targeted the family of the detached palace.”

“Was it a long shot?”

“It is.”

“Contrary to appearances, he was a man of tricks. Geumuiwi Bukjin Musa is targeting the family.”

“I think beliefs are part of the strategy.”

“It’s a disease. Tsk! It’s a strategy I don’t like.”

“Your Majesty is right, but I told you not to choose any means or methods based on your convictions.”

“I have to think about pushing with force like a provincial commander. The family was a bit naive.”

“It seems to have happened because I did it the way Geumuiwi did. In the future, I will tell you to do it in a more manly way.”

“Will there be another chance on the golden throne? If you mobilize four stomachs, you will see the end.”

The emperor looked at the shape with a bitter expression.

He lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.

“Your Majesty, please do not give up. Although Yeonjeokha is young, he is a traitor who single-handedly fought against the famous religion.”

“I know that he is a genius. But our enemy is a god who can’t do anything with gold. A genie is not a human after all.”

“…”

I couldn’t even answer that word.

As the emperor said, it is because humans know that they cannot compete with the gods.

that’s when

Suddenly, the sound of marbles breaking was heard from the pillars supporting Cheonchujeong.

Quick-!

The startled emperor and shape turned their gaze to the source of the sound.

Puss-.

A pillar collapsed at one point, and gray powder flowed down.

A moan escaped from the mouth of the moment.

“Mmm! The Chuksa Shrine…”

That powder was definitely the Cheoksa Shrine hidden in the pillar of Cheonchujeong Pavilion.

Apparently, the gods sensed the Chuksa Shrine.

Soon after, the sound of politeness came from the other three pillars in succession.

Quick! Quick! Quick-!

The startled emperor forgot his body and fled out of the hall like a wild boar beaten to death.

The shape also left Cheonchujeong in a hurry.

The crescent moon, like the tip of a woman’s fingernail, rose indifferently over the empty Cheonchujeong Pavilion.

***

Sichuan Province.

Cheongseongsan.

Before the soldiers of the Three Wei (三衛) joined, Wei Commander Liu Yi-geun sent the Hwaryongdae Firearm So Samjong to the detached palace.

The internal and external cause was to notify that ‘Han So-yang was burned to death’.

It was to let them know that Gunmun was not involved in her death and that it was a simple accident, but in fact, there was another ulterior motive.

He secretly gave instructions to So Samjong, the firearm of the Hwaryongdae.

While delivering the news, he asked to measure the exact location and distance of the detached palace.

It was an unbelievable target of killing three birds with one stone.

separate palace.

So Samjong, the gunman of Hwaryongdae, recited concisely prepared words in front of Yeonjeokha and Namgungyeon.

“…So Han So-yang was burned along with the hut. It’s a family member, but three soldiers from Cheonho-so were injured in the process of putting out the fire. Commander Wi told Jang-ju Yeon to inform him of the situation.”

I tightly closed my eyes as I was in love with the unexpected sad news.

My heart was stuffy and angry, but I didn’t want to pour it out on that military officer.
