Episode 192. I entrusted you with the hilt of the Green Forest Sword.
Yeonjeokha, who had been kicking the green onion for a long time, slowly turned around at the sound of people.
Soon, a dozen people came through the forest and approached the suicide rock.
It was the Green Forest’s General Chaeju, Pacheonma Army, Seokmuhae, and his twelve horse armies, who were like his limbs.
Yeonjeokha pretended to know with a trembling face.
“Your Majesty? What brings you here?”
“Oh! What’s going on? It’s disappointing that you’re talking to me like I’m not supposed to.”
Seokmuhae jumped up onto the suicide rock.
The Twelve Horsemen turned their backs on the suicide rock without any separate instructions.
Nokdam-pyeong shrank back to his original form as he was struck by the energy radiating from the twelve peerless masters.
Seok Mu-hae, standing in front of Yeonjeok-ha, tilted his head at the sight of the hastily built thatched cottage and green terrace.
“I came to tell you that you worked hard. But what’s going on here?”
“I was just scolding this idiot for trying to surprise me while I was meditating.”
“Hah! You dare to surprise the general patrol. You deserve to die.”
Seok Mu-hae looked at Nokdam-pyeong as if he was looking at an insect.
Nokdam-pyeong was trembling with deep thought as the murderous intent suffocated him.
It was Yeon-Rik who saved him from the brink of death.
“You can’t kill him, he’s the one who’s supposed to mourn for three years in my stead.”
Only then did the murderous intent toward Nokdam-pyeong seem to have disappeared.
“Indeed! He is a filial son. He will be a role model for eternity. But why is that fish doing that?”
Seok Mu-hae’s gaze was fixed on the sword and turned to the fish that was still twitching.
“I was going to go out and grill some and eat it. But there are so many people that I think I’ll have to give up today.”
“Why? I think it would be better if I caught more.”
Seok Mu-hae looked around to find his fishing rod.
“No, are you just going to fish here leisurely?”
“What’s wrong with that? Can’t I go fishing with you? I’m more laid-back than you think.”
“Oh, no! That’s enough. I don’t want to make things difficult for the people waiting over there.”
Yeonjeokha pointed to the Twelve Horse Armies.
“But I can’t see the fishing rod? It looks like it’s still alive and breathing, so it must have been caught not too long ago.”
“I just happened to catch one jumping out of the water with a fishing rod. If I had known that customers would come like this, I wouldn’t have caught it. I guess I’ll just have to throw it away.”
Yeonjeokha swung his sword with an expression that said it was nothing.
A large fish was pulled out of the fishing net and flew into the Yellow River.
“To be able to attract such a large object with the art of folding is truly an amazing feat.”
Seok Mu-hae was not convinced, but did not ask any further questions.
It didn’t matter whether he caught it with his sword or not.
Seok Mu-hae, who was looking for a chair, hit the rump of Nok Dam-pyeong, who was barely able to stand up, and then sat down on his back.
“Thanks to you for taking care of those two-timing guys, I saved face. I came to see you today because I have something to talk about.”
“I’m new to the martial arts world, so I can’t be of much help, right?”
“Huh! Your problem is that you are too humble. How can someone who is the chief of the Green Forest be so humble? Of course, I respect your humility, but never do that in other places. If you succumb, the world will bite you by the scruff of the neck.”
“Oh, yes. I will take note.”
“There have been various rumors about the Ten Horsemen in Nanjing. I thought you would be the most knowledgeable, so I came to check. How much of it is true, and how much is nonsense?”
Yeonjeokha glanced at Seokmuhae.
He, too, seemed to be curious about the inaction of the Ten Horsemen, just like Jeong Ui-maeng.
‘Wow! It’s just as Sister Yeon predicted.’
Before leaving, Hwayongdoksim Namgungyeon said that Seok Muhae would come to find her.
When asked, “Then what should we do?” she said that Seok Mu-hae would need to have accurate information to help him make the right decision.
He told the story of the ten-headed horse disease that he had experienced without any exaggeration.
“… … The last one was greatly helped by the Kunlun Three Immortals. If they hadn’t helped, I would have had to fight all night.”
“Wow! That’s surprising. I thought it was just a rumor. This is it.”
Seok Mu-hae had a breathtaking face.
It makes sense that the Ten Horsemen would die and be resurrected as more powerful monsters.
“Is it true that they sacrificed monks?”
“That’s what they said.”
“There is no way that the Justice Party will compromise with the famous religion.”
“I think so?”
“I understand the details of the famous religion. What do you think?”
“What are you thinking?”
“Not long ago, someone from the famous church sent me to meet them. I guess they wanted to check on me before the war with the Justice Alliance.”
“ah!”
The man nodded his head in agreement.
He now had a rough idea of how the situation in the martial arts world was going.
“Whose side do you think we should be on?”
Yeonjeokha frowned.
What do you mean by convenience?
Who has been the one to fight the ten horsemen of the five mountain villages so far?
“By now, you probably know that the famous religious leader has organized the five mountain villages.”
“Of course you know. But you still reach out to me.”
Seok Mu-hae looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with deep eyes.
I was curious about what he, who was at the forefront of the fight against the famous religion, was thinking.
“What would a martial arts newbie like me know?”
The man in question took his foot off the ground slightly.
Because I don’t want to get involved in Nokrim’s business anymore.
However, Seok Mu-hae had no intention of letting Yeon Jeok-ha go.
“I trust your intuition, not your knowledge. Intuition is the best gift from heaven. Don’t be afraid to tell me what you feel.”
I reluctantly said a word in response to his persistent questioning.
“The famous religion will eventually collapse.”
“Why do you think so?”
“I have a feeling.”
A mischievous smile appeared on Seok Mu-hae’s lips.
“Haha. If you say so, then it might turn out that way.”
“Your Majesty, do you intend to jump into this fight?”
“What do you think?”
Seok Mu-hae looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with strange eyes.
“I don’t know?”
He shook his head in agreement.
Wouldn’t Namgung Yeon, the legendary writer, know?
How could an ordinary person like me figure out Seok Mu-hae’s true intentions?
“This is just my feeling, but I think the green forest will follow the tip of the sword you aim.”
“Me? Haha. I’m not interested in this fight.”
“Maybe so? My feelings have never been wrong before, but maybe this time it’ll be different?”
“And, the Lord General has his eyes wide open, so why do you say you are following the tip of my sword?”
“If I move, the martial arts world will collapse right away, but if you move, it will become a flow. So I plan to ride the flow that you create.”
I couldn’t understand what Seok Mu-hae was saying.
“The trend of running a business like a guest house?”
“Oh! Are you interested in running an inn?”
“Yes, it’s good for playing and eating.”
“That’s fine too. But you’re not cut out for business.”
“Do you know how to read faces?”
“I was a little bit swayed when I was eating the rice cake. At that time, I didn’t know that I would become a green forest. Just like you are now. When I look at you, I feel like I see myself when I was younger. That’s why I have high expectations for you.”
“Still, I won’t get involved in this fight.”
“Hehehe! It doesn’t matter. Just know one thing. I have entrusted you with the hilt of the Green Forest Sword. Of course, it’s up to you whether you wield it or not.”
“No matter how you try to persuade me, it’s no use.”
“Poohahaha! If you were a beautiful woman, wouldn’t you know? Why would I seduce you?”
It’s the time when Yeonjeokha and Seokmuhae are pushing and pulling hard.
A group of martial artists approached, noisily, through the thicket of shrubs.
Finally, the people of Sambobang and the best magician in Gaebong, Gowolsangin, came to visit.
The steps of the Ark Sword Master Nokilchui, who had been walking busily in the lead, slowed down.
The prayers of twelve men and women who appeared to be middle-aged were unusual.
The old merchant also stopped and stared intently at the faces of the twelve men and women.
‘Huh! Who is that? If they’re experts at that level, they should be known… … .’
But no matter how many experts I tried to think of, there was no one who fit the bill.
“Green Ark, do you know who they are?”
“I don’t know. But judging from the fact that each and every one of them seems to be emitting a climactic prayer… … .”
Nok Il-chwi swallowed the words.
Even if they die and wake up, they won’t be able to deal with them.
No matter how great the magic of the Go-wol merchant is, it is no match for a master like that.
At that moment, the first of the twelve horsemen, Gwiyeongjagun, took a step forward.
The next moment, the new form of the Guiyeongja Army arrived in front of Nokilchwi.
The nobleman asked in a dreary voice.
“Who are you to dare to invade this place?”
Along with the words, an incredible killing force poured out from the entire body of the Guiyeongja Army.
Nok Il-chwi struggled and answered urgently as the urge to breathe became suffocating.
“Ugh! My name is Nokilchui of the Gaebong Sambobang.”
“No, the old man… … is a merchant from Goryeo.”
When Nok Il-chwi and Gowol Sang-in were subdued in an instant, the Sambo Bang-do members who had come with them were shocked and froze.
The noble family’s livelihood was further enhanced.
“What brings you guys here? Who gave you orders?”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Nok Il-chwi, who was staggering as if he was going to fall over, barely managed to avoid defeat by grabbing the arm of the old merchant.
The staggering Gowol merchant also relied on Nokilchwi to regain his balance.
Even in the midst of chaos, Nokilchui spoke on behalf of the group.
I had to muster up every bit of strength I had because it was clear that I would die right here if I stayed still.
“Ugh! We just came to meet the prince.”
In an instant, the murderous intent that had been weighing on my entire body disappeared.
“Prince Yeon? Why did you come to see the Chief of the Patrol? If you don’t tell him the truth, he will die.”
At the word ‘Patrol Chief’, Nok Il-chwi and Go Wol-sang-in’s faces turned ashen.
Who would have thought that a man named Yeon Gongja would treat such an incredible master with such respect!
The surprise was short-lived, as Nok Il-chwi, who had been wandering around the bottom and working at Sambobang, showed his wit.
“My son is in mourning for the parents of Prince Yeon for three years. I came to see if they needed anything.”
The nobleman, who knew about the three-year mourning period, nodded.
“I understand. However, the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Patrol are talking right now, so you cannot approach them. Please wait here until we call you.”
Just as the nobleman was about to turn around after finishing speaking.
Not missing the opportunity, Nok Il-chwi asked cautiously.
“Excuse me, may I ask which sect’s chief patrolman you belong to?”
“Your Majesty the Yeon is the chief patrolman of the Green Forest.”
“omg!”
Leaving behind the elasticity of the green light, the Guiyeongja army returned to their original positions in an instant.
The old merchant who saw the ghostly spirit group’s magic muttered belatedly.
“Huh, are you saying they are the Twelve Horse Army?”
At the mention of the Twelve Horse Army, Nokilchui’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.
In the Sambobang, a sect of the Jeongsaji clan, the Twelve Demon Army was on par with the head of the Chilpai clan.
‘Could it be that Prince Yeon is the Yeongjeok of the Green Forest Patrol?’
He also knows what the Nokrim General Patrolman Yeon Jeok-ha did in Jeongju.
A rare demon who will even kill blood relatives if they do not like him.
Just thinking about it made my knees tremble.
The old merchant whispered to the trembling Nok Il-chwi.
“The Green Ark, it seems that the person named Yeon Gongja was in love with me. I will return now, so do not come looking for me again.”
The merchant ran away without even listening to Nok Il-chwi’s answer.
Nok Il-chwi blankly stared at the back of the Go-wol merchant with envious eyes.
Wuxia,
