Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 829

Episode 829. Escort and swordsman

Daeju Ildodancham Songchung of the Black Swordsman looked at the deputy chief of staff with ambiguous eyes.

Paldalmun is a well-known gate in the eastern part of the city.

It was like that before, but when it joined the famous bridge a year ago, its position was further solidified.

There are also many Sangbangs who are anxious to get a foot in Paldalmun Gate.

Paldalmun reached out to help first, but he refused to accept outside help.

‘Is there such a thing as a dog?’

Of course, as the Gold Seal is one of the Ten Commandments, the guards will be strong, but you shouldn’t ignore Paldalmun’s favor in Seongdo, not elsewhere.

The inside was twisted, but the songchung did not show it.

It wasn’t a correctional banquet, so I couldn’t argue over something like that.

Stealing money by force is something only green robbers do.

If you are in a position about Paldalmun, you have to gently coax your opponent to make a profit.

“I know that the escorts of the Gold Statue are excellent. By the way, aren’t you going to Zhonggang County?”

“Yes, but.”

“If you don’t, I’ll pass Juksan.”

Juksan is a low mountain that divides between Geumdang-hyeon and Junggang-hyeon.

It is more accurate to say that it is a long hill rather than a mountain.

The mountain is not steep, but it is famous for being dark even in broad daylight due to the dense trees.

There is a theory that it is called Juksan because there is a bamboo forest at the entrance of the mountain, and a theory that the whole hill used to be a bamboo forest in the past, but it was literally just a theory.

Deung Won-yong looked at Songchung with a slightly stiff face.

It is natural for the movement line at the top to stand out, but it was rude to ask blatantly.

This is because the outside of the city is full of thieves.

When Deung Won-yong did not reply, Song Chung-yi continued.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. Rumor has it that a band of bandits broke away from Dudan Mountain earlier this year and settled in Juksan Mountain. I am Daejoo of the Black Sword Corps newly created in Paldalmun. I am on my way to investigate the actual condition of Juksan by the order of the Ark.”

Songchung looked at Dongwonyong with a big face.

In fact, I received a request from Sangbang Hyeonmu, but I didn’t say that.

Only then did Deung Won-yong’s face unravel.

If you were going to Juksan for that matter, you could understand their coercive invitation.

However, I have no intention of asking Paldalmun for protection.

It’s because the escort has Namcheon Yeonjeokha.

The loss in Tagang also played a part in that decision.

It would be nice to have a relationship with Paldalmun, but I couldn’t afford to spend money on such a thing right now.

“I see.”

“…”

Song Chung was stunned when Dong Won-yong’s reaction was not good.

Although the gold merchants are said to be the continent’s ten merchants, they are only merchants.

If Moorim Bangpa is Gap, the merchant is Eul.

Being photographed on the Moorim breakwater, the size of Paldalmun Gate, is painful even for teenagers.

‘Look at this? I even told you about the thieves in Juksan, so are you going to chew on my offer?’

It’s when the songchung is standing with a puzzled face.

Consumption of the black sword squad stock was worse than that.

“Look. back brother. Aren’t the bandits in Juksan a bigger problem for your ranks than us? Are you trusting the swordsmen of the upper ranks and ignoring the goodwill of our great lord?”

Confused, Sobi degraded the escorts in the upper direction as swordsmen.

This was because many of the people hired as escorts by the upper department were from Nannin.

At Sibijo’s words, Deung Wonyong’s heart was heavy.

It’s okay now that Yeon Jeok-ha is with her, but later is the problem.

It was obvious that if Paldalmun Gate was blocked, the activities of the Gold Seal Chamber in Chengdu would shrink.

Thinking that far, Dong Won-yong quickly got up from his seat and bowed his head.

“It can’t be. Why would traders like us ignore the heroes of Paldalmun Gate? In fact, there was an accident while crossing the Tagan River. I lost a lot of wagons and porters because the ice broke. I couldn’t accept the offer because it was difficult to leave a profit on this trip.”

Songchung’s expression softened a little at the apology of the acting manager.

“Oops! How much damage did you do?”

“ha! We lost three wagons and ten porters.”

“Tsk tsk! I understand your situation well. But it’s winter, so our situation is not good. Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of work and my financial situation is not good. Isn’t it said that a widower understands the circumstances of a widow? Please show sincerity in appropriate lines. Then I will accompany you to Juksan.”

The songchung bites and hangs all the way.

It’s because I don’t want to miss a watering can like a gold lintel.

After pushing and pulling, Deung Won-yong decided to give her 50 nyang in return for accompanying him to Juksan.

When the deal was concluded, Song Chung went back without looking back.

It was because he was embarrassed to face the men of the Gold Statue, who were staring at him.

I watched the transaction between the rival Sangbang and Moorim’s breakwater with indifferent eyes.

Anyone can see that the contract was forced, but he was rather inspired.

Rip off escort fees from worn-out merchants!

I was even proud of the feeling that I had learned a new way to live as an unmanned person in Gangho.

Experience is so important.

If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have known that a deal like this was possible.

‘It’s easy to make money.’

As he swallowed the food he was munching on, Dong Wen Yong said.

“I apologize for this. I should have introduced Namcheon Daehyeop first… Shall I sing it now?”

As soon as the escort fee agreement was over, Song Chung left without a chance to catch it.

Because of that, I couldn’t even introduce him to Yeon Jeok-ha.

“Ayu! are you okay. I’m not even the one who has business with me, so why are you calling me? Leave it alone. No, it’s annoying, so don’t tell me about me.”

Yeonjeokha waved his hand.

In fact, he was tired of greeting the strangers, so he thought it was rather good.

“By the way, Manager. People from Paldalmun say the escorts are swordsmen. Why is that?”

Then, he looked around with a frown on his face.

Fortunately, only the rowers and the big hands at the top were full, but the escorts were nowhere to be seen.

“That’s because there are a lot of rongins in the upper escort.”

“ah!”

“At first, Sangbang also thoroughly checked his identity when hiring escorts, just like Pyo-guk. However, as the number of offices increased, they suffered from a shortage of workers. In particular, the manpower shortage of the escorts going up was severe. As a result, I had no choice but to accept a large number of ronin.”

I shook my head in a row.

He seemed to know what kind of situation he was in because he had seen a lot of upside down.

Heartache heard a word from the side.

“It is still difficult to identify the target country. For expensive items, it is also possible to use the mark. Compared to the flag country, the escort in the upper direction is a swordsman. There are many escorts who turned into rogues while escorting the Merchant. Hehe.”

The old man nodded his head with a bitter face.

“you’re right. We are recruiting many students from the military fire brigade, but escorts are always lacking. Since there are upsides like bamboo shoots after rain… Even the saints don’t know how many upsides there are.”

“Are there that many?”

“Some say that there are more stores that have opened than stores that have gone bankrupt.”

“Wow! Sim old man. Shouldn’t we have gone up too?”

“Don’t say such things unless Confucius is going to follow the ascendant.”

“Can old Sim go?”

“That happens once or twice, and I don’t want to follow the ascendant for the rest of my life. Do you say that if I live, how long will I live?”

“Then order Wolah and Geumah.”

“Send those young kids up? Don’t even joke about it. You will be punished.”

When his heart ached, Yeon Jeok-ha said with an embarrassed face.

“What kind of punishment is this when you know it’s a joke? When you talk about your own disciples, they turn on double wicks in their eyes and attack you.”

“Even Confucius is not like that.”

“What am I?”

“Are you thinking of pampering your children without even teaching them martial arts?”

“I taught you too.”

“Have you ever looked at our children since you went to Kuju?”

“Wow! Come on, our kids. Who would have heard that Old Sim had given birth to a child?”

“Don’t turn around. You just played with the baby every day, but you didn’t even pay attention to Wol-ah and Geum-ah, did you?”

In the end, he raised his hand to fight against the persistent attack of heartache.

“okay. Stop because I was wrong. I’ll look after the kids as soon as I get back. okay?”

“Hehe. thank you.”

Heartache laughed heartily when he heard the answer he was hoping for.

Since they always keep the words they said once, there could be nothing better for Wol-a and Geum-a.

***

Next day.

Twelve Black Swordsmen clung to the back of the upper row like tails.

The warriors of the Black Swordsman moved while maintaining a constant distance from the upper ranks.

He said he would help the escort, but it looked like he was being buried.

Ha Hu-chan, the captain of the escort, glanced behind him and said to the deputy chief of staff.

“I don’t know what Paldalmun Gate is trying to help you with.”

“It’s off to a bad start, so they’ll wait for us to beg for help.”

“her! By the way, did you hear about the gang of bandits in Juksan?”

“Isn’t this the first ascension since the change of year? Of course, it’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

“It’s annoying to see it fall off like that.”

“Let it be. As for Paldalmun Gate, I plan to take measures separately from the Lord Ark.”

The idea was to satisfy Paldalmun Gate as much as possible.

That’s why he asked for an escort to Juksan, though it’s unnecessary in the current situation.

Around sunset, Juksan appeared in front of the top of the mountain.

Ha Hu-chan, the head of the escort, came running with a wagon under the enemy.

Yeonjeokha, who had been sitting on top of the wagon, stood up.

“Namcheon Grand Gorge. I have arrived at Juksan. However, the sun will set soon, so it will be difficult to cross the mountain.”

“So?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m going to be camping today, so I’m here to apologize.”

“Oh what else am I saying? does not matter.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Hahuchan nodded silently and returned to his original seat.

Looking at Ha Hu-chan walking away, he said with a heartwarming face.

“For a guy who eats knives, he seems pretty polite.”

“Everything is fine, but old man Sim, don’t be mean to anyone. Do you know that this is Mount Obong?”

“Even if Confucius says it’s not Mount Obong, when you’re my age, you can say that. Most of the elders of the Chilpamun speak like me. It is an affectionate title.”

“okay? But why does it sound like an insult when Old Sim does it?”

“Abandon your preconceived notions.”

The two people who were quarreling came down from the carriage.

In the meantime, a coachman had already made a campfire.

While Yeonjeokha and Simtong warmed up at the bonfire, the son-in-law grew dark.

He said with a face that looked like he was suffering from heartache.

“I haven’t climbed the mountain yet, but the sun sets quickly. These days, when I want to open my eyes, it’s night before I know it. Seeing things like that, I guess I’m getting old.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t think I’ve aged, but I’ve eaten a lot. Now, the grim reaper will be visible. Can’t you see it yet?”

“Heh heh! What are you saying?”

It is when Yeonjeokha and Heartache are hanging out by the fire.

In the dark, the consumption of the Black Swordsman’s large stock and the accompanying stock popped out.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time and sat down in front of the fire.

Soon after, Song Chung told the coachmen.

“No surprise. We are the people of Paldalmun. While patrolling the Juksan area, the light was only visible. You know that Paldalmun Gate’s Black Sword Guard protects the guild, right?”
