Episode 916 There is one crazy guy. (1)
“Oh, how did it happen?”
“….”
Hong Dae-gwang looked at Cheongmyeong in confusion with a very mesmerized face.
‘I’m crazy.’
Why did I miss this crazy person? This devilish man whose mere presence destroys all his peace? I?
“Hey… Hwasan God Dragon… no, Hwasan Sword Association.”
“why?”
“Information is so… huh? It’s there just because they asked me to put it out… huh? “Isn’t that what it is?”
“What are you talking about! “What can I do if there is no information in the open?”
“That’s not what I’m saying… There is information, but it’s not like you can get it exactly when you want it…”
“No!”
Hong Dae-gwang closed his eyes tightly.
“Anyway, these damn beggars are no help. Help! “What kind of poor people who can’t even do a damn thing make a living if they can’t even come up with information?”
“…Thank you for your concern, but…”
I don’t think you need to worry about that, right? huh?
However, Cheongmyeong may or may not have known how Hong Dae-gwang felt, but he constantly harassed and scolded him.
“Ah, so what happened!”
Hong Dae-gwang looked up at the ceiling with a liberated face.
There are so many things I want to say. If the person struggling in front of him right now was someone other than Cheongmyeong, Hong Dae-gwang would have said this with a smile on his face.
‘Look at this small one. It takes some time for the information requested from the headquarters to arrive here via the Jeon Seo-gu. I can’t fly like a bird and retrieve information myself, and the time won’t be shortened by pushing me, so just relax and wait. ‘It won’t take long.’
okay. You can say that.
And if you say that, those who know the majesty of openness will either nod their heads in approval or feel guilty for daring to promote openness without thinking.
Anyone with common sense.
But unfortunately, the person in front of him now was Cheongmyeong. This person is a person who does not treat the dignity of openness like a dog’s bone rolling down the street, and is also a person without common sense or logic.
If you say this, ‘You incompetent beggars! They’ll say double insults like, ‘I’m so relaxed that I’m going to have to live alone.’
“Ugh….”
Or I can’t handle my anger alone and move on.
As I looked at Cheongmyeong’s face getting hotter, my hair started to stand on end.
It feels like I’m watching a fire spreading towards a powder keg. It is certain that the moment that fire touches the oil drum, it will explode.
That face?
No, it’s right here.
‘please! please! ‘Hurry up and take a look, you bastard!’
Since I requested it as a special express, the Cheonricheonggu (千里靑鳩) of openness is probably flying by now with a sign with information written on its foot and its wings falling off.
Whether or not this bunta shatters depends solely on the speed of its wings.
“Off!”
In the end, Cheongmyeong’s eyes began to roll over and Hong Dae-gwang was wondering whether he should be kicked out right now without even looking back. It was a close call situation.
Bleep!
“It’s coming!”
Finally, Hong Dae-gwang jumped up from his seat at the sound.
Even if I see my deceased grandfather’s face again, I won’t be this happy. In fact, Hong Dae-gwang doesn’t even know his father’s face, let alone his grandfather, but let’s move on anyway!
“where!”
“excuse me! “Here he comes!”
At that moment, a dove with blue wings flew in at lightning speed through the wide open window.
“Tsk!”
Hong Daegwang stretched out his hand and quickly took the Cheonricheonggu in his hand, then opened the small box of electric coins tied to his ankle.
As soon as I took out the rolled up letter, Cheongmyeong quickly snatched it away.
“where!”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes, which opened the calligraphy book, moved back and forth at the speed of light.
“What does it say?”
“Uh…”
“Huh?”
After reading the entire letter, Cheongmyeong raised his head and looked at Hong Dae-gwang. The expression on his face was so strange that it couldn’t be described.
“You beggar man.”
“why?”
“…I guess you guys are screwed.”
“…what? “What do you mean?”
“no. “I didn’t think…”
Cheongmyeong laughed heartily and scratched the back of his head.
“There is one crazy person.”
“Yes?”
Hong Dae-gwang looked blankly at Cheongmyeong with an expression on his face that he didn’t understand.

Oral.
There was a desolate sense of tension near Maehwado Island, which was completely dominated by Surochae.
The street, which was always lively, was nowhere to be seen. It was difficult to find people coming and going, and even the baserunners, who were eager to open the gates and solicit customers, even closed the windows.
Those who quietly gathered in a small camp on the outskirts of the city that arose along with Maehwa Island could not help but hold their breath as they watched the bandits walking up and down the streets.
“…Do we really have to stay like this?”
A person who saw the back of the enemy passing in front of the base through a gap in the window sighed deeply.
“Actually, there is no big problem, right? “It’s not like the enemy harms people.”
“It’s not that there isn’t a big problem, it’s just that it hasn’t happened yet, you old man.”
One of the merchants beats his chest as if he heard the frustrated noise.
“When a tiger is full, isn’t it the way to leave people who pass by alone alone? “They may be quiet for now, but how do we know when and what they will do?”
“That’s true, but…”
The merchants’ faces were filled with deep sorrow.
It’s been several days since Surochae took control of Maehwado Island, but no one has yet come forward to claim that they were harmed by their enemies.
But even so, it was impossible to look at the enemies I had feared my whole life with peace of mind. Especially merchants who make their living traveling across the Yangtze River.
“I have to try to get along somehow. In the past, if you were on a boat and encountered an enemy, didn’t you have to pay a toll? If you think it’s the same texture as that…”
“How is that the same? It’s inevitable that we’ll see each other briefly once every few weeks or once every few months. But how are we supposed to live like this, facing those guys every day?”
“….”
“And at that time, you only had to pay for the items you were moving. But now, aren’t taxes even collected on items in warehouses? Damn it, business isn’t going well either, so after paying the money they ask for, what are we going to do to survive?”
A sigh escaped the merchants’ mouths all at once.
Hwasan, who occupied Maehwado Island, only rented warehouses to those who needed them for money and did not rent out any items there. So in reality, the only money merchants paid while using Maehwa Island was the toll tax for loading and moving goods on ships.
Of course, it costs money to use various facilities, but isn’t that the same wherever you go in the world?
However, those bandits took control of Maehwado Island and immediately doubled the toll tax and announced that they would also levy taxes on luggage waiting in Maehwado Island.
In this way, I had to pay twice as much as I said, but in reality, I had to pay close to three to four times as much.
“Do we really have to endure this?”
“Arthur. “You know, the upper part of the East Sea where we went out to Maehwa Island and went down the river yesterday?”
“At the top of the East Sea? Oh right. It was like that. Why the upper part of the East Sea?”
“…They’re all dead.”
“what?! “What does that mean?”
“Looks like those damn bastards are using their brains. It looks like they are sinking all the merchant ships trying to cross the river outside of Maehwa Island. “If you don’t want to die, use Maehwa Island.”
“…oh my god.”
Everyone seemed frozen and could not speak.
In the past, it was rare for anyone to be harmed even if they encountered an enemy while crossing the river. This is because it was usually resolved through toll taxes.
But if those damn bastards come out like this, you won’t even dare to cross the river.
Of course, since the Yangtze River is so wide, there is no way to get caught by enemy forces. The probability of encountering it without luck is probably about one in ten.
But what kind of person would risk his fortune and life at the same time on a one-tenth chance?
“…Now it really looks like everything is being torn apart.”
“It was good when there was a volcano.”
The merchants, who said they knew where they were, even if they did not know where they were, painfully realized once again how much the volcano had protected them when it occupied Maehwa Island.
“What can we do to find those who do not exist? so? Is there any news from Gu File Room yet? “How long has it been since these guys took over this place and they haven’t even turned on their noses?”
Now the only way left for the merchants was for Gupailbang to reclaim this place. If not, it would be a good idea to eliminate the bandits traveling up and down the Yangtze River again.
“…I heard there was no movement yet.”
“still?”
One of the merchants could not control his anger and raised his voice.
“I’m sure those old sect bastards aren’t just going to give this place up to their enemies, are they?”
“Is that possible? “This is Gangbuk.”
“Or why are you saying that it hasn’t even illuminated the nose until now?”
“That’s…”
The merchants looked at each other with anxious eyes.
“Didn’t you already get scared by the scam and withdraw once? “Is there any guarantee that it won’t happen this time?”
“Oh no way! No matter what, there are people called political factions….”
“Political factions? If you’re going to judge political factions, you should have done so three years ago! “Isn’t it true that the Old Sect bastards bowed down to their enemies out of fear for their lives?”
“….”
“No way, this time too….”
“Stop saying such nonsense! Wasn’t the situation bad back then? If the Nine Sects were to step forward in earnest, not only the enemy but also the Black Dragon King would lose his head in no time…”
Quaaaaang!
At that time, the base door opened violently, almost as if it would break, and a man in blue slowly walked in.
“….”
A young face wearing a tight blue uniform that is unique to a male enemy.
Zhou Luan became extremely quiet.
“Hmm.”
The man looked inside with cold eyes. All of the merchants who came into contact with that gaze froze, unable to take a deep breath.
Sujeok opened his mouth.
“Just here…”
The cruel-looking eyes flashed murderously.
“I think I heard something about the old faction?”
“That…”
“The Black Dragon King’s head fell off?”
The blood drained from the merchants’ faces in an instant. Who knows better than them how cruel these enemies can be when they put their mind to it?
“This is why you shouldn’t show unnecessary warmth. “The Black Dragon King has been so considerate to you, but you carelessly betrayed him without even knowing the grace.”
Anger flashed across the man’s distorted face.
“I guess I need to catch and kill a few of them as an example before they will come to their senses.”
“That’s not it…”
“No! “You’re mistaken!”
The merchants hurriedly waved their hands and made excuses, but the man didn’t even seem to listen and gestured at them.
“Take it out.”
“yes!”
As the bandits came pouring in, the merchants became lost in thought and screamed.
“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding! Get better! “I’ll get better!”
“Please save me!”
“Hi! “I am…!”
The merchants who were captured by the bandits shed tears and begged for forgiveness, but the hands they were holding were merciless.
“Take them out and kill them all. “Even my life cannot pay for the sin of daring to insult the Black Dragon King!”
The man who shouted clicked his tongue.
And he muttered as he left the bases.
“I don’t know why the Black Dragon King shows mercy to those guys. It would have been enough to just kill and steal them all. “Whether they are merchants or political factions.”
“Kill and steal?”
At that time, a loud voice came from behind the man.
Annoyance flashed across the man’s face. He clicked his tongue and turned around. Another fearless guy….
Kwaduk!
But at that moment, a vicious hand grabbed the man’s neck.
“Keck!”
The man bit out his tongue due to the sudden pain in his throat. It was an enormous pressure, as if it would squeeze my neck and burst it at any moment.
His face quickly turned dark red and he looked at the person who hastily grabbed his neck.
The moment he saw with his own eyes who it was, an indescribable shock filled the enemy’s eyes.
The pure white robe contrasted with the strong, black hair.
The eyes were large, like those of a tiger, and the thick face was reminiscent of a lion.
However, what caught more attention than that were the two letters “Changcheon (蒼天)” engraved in warrior-like handwriting on the right chest.
“I am…. Kek! Namgung….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
He grabbed the neck and threw the enemy to the floor in one fell swoop. A sound that I could not believe was the sound of a person hitting the floor erupted. The enemy force that had been vigorously attacking the merchants just moments ago turned into blood clots and rolled around.
“Surochae.”
A person who defeats one enemy in one go.
A mixture of despair and astonishment came out of the mouths of the enemies who saw that face.
How could I forget that face?
A name that is close to absolute that was used against their leader, the Black Dragon King, three years ago.
“My lord… my lord’s sword!”
“This…”
A huge roar burst out from the mouth of Emperor Nangong of the King’s Sword.
“You bastards! “How dare you step on Gangbuk land in front of me? I will kill you all!”
It was the moment when the lion of Anhui, who had been crouching for three years, finally roared toward the sky.
