Episode 20
The hour-long negotiations had already reached the final stage.
“Half of the stores owned by Hengshan Checkpoint. and the hot rod monopoly. Is that right?”
“I’m sure it’s the ear door?”
“From this moment on, I will not sell information to any faction in Shanxi Province except Taewon Jinga, and I will do my best to collect and deliver information about the war.”
It is an agreement that has already been decided after dozens of pushes and pulls.
Jin Wi-gyeong and Wol-hwa meticulously checked until the end to make sure there were no gaps before writing and exchanging documents.
“Now we are officially on board. Please take good care of me. Lord Soga.”
“Me too.”
It was the moment when the two held hands.
belt ring.
– [Taewon Jinga] and [Haomun] have formed an alliance.
– Alliances are maintained for the duration of the war.
open up to this Well, a similar notification sounded when the war against the Hangshan Checkpoint began.
Did Haomen join in, so the odds of winning increased a bit?’
Hao Wen is a Wenpa who specializes in handling information.
Wolhwa confidently said that all information from Shanxi Province flows through him. If that is true, it will be of great help.
‘There is nothing as important as information.’
I don’t know how it is in Moorim, but I know. It depends on how you handle information. It can be a sword, a shield, and sometimes a bomb that turns the tide of battle all at once.
It would be nice if Wolhwa asked for that kind of information.
“Then I’ll go away.”
“Please forgive me for not being able to go far because I have snow.”
“Of course.”
It’s finally over. Hupin bowed his head with a blunt face, and I bowed awkwardly.
“Goodbye,” said Wolhwa, who saw me, bent her eyes like half moons.
“Confucius Qin should go too.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you going to see me off?”
“… … Why me?”
“hmm. Did you spend a hot night together?”
I am momentarily dazed by the stone fastball that is full of my body. No, this woman asked me to bring the information, and she is distributing this information from 19 gold.
Even in front of people.
“Hoo.”
“A hot night? together?”
Yu Peng looked at me and Yue Hui with an interesting look, and an earthquake occurred in Qin Wei Qing’s pupils.
“Tae Kyung. Is it true? Is that true?”
I answered after silence.
“I’ll see you off and come back.”
Jin Wi-gyeong’s mournful voice echoed behind her as she grabbed Wol-hwa’s wrist and rushed out.
“You are the youngest!”
Wolhwa is a rare beauty. She had a slender body and colorful clothes, so her eyes couldn’t help but gather.
“Has there ever been such a beauty in your family?”
“Of course not. I am an outsider.”
“An outsider?”
“uh. My friend at Sumungak said she was Honghwaru.”
“Ah, that filthy expensive Honghwaru.
know. Wait, but what’s the point of a courtesan coming here now?”
“They said they came to get money from the Three Gongja.
They must be trying to get the money they took before an all-out war breaks out in earnest.”
“… … her. The Three Gongja are really diverse.”
People’s whispers pierce your ears. Wol-hwa, who was walking ahead while humming his hum, suddenly looked back.
“Gongja Jin. Why are you so far away?”
I replied in a blunt tone.
“If you walk together, people will misunderstand you. Rumors like that are already going around… …
“Oh, credit card?”
yeah, that one
“Isn’t that nonsense?”
Wolhwa smiled brightly.
“When the gate guards asked me why I was here, I just said that I came to collect the credit.
Well, it’s not a lie at all.”
“yes?”
“Then did you intend to announce to the world that you had formed an alliance?”
“… … That’s not it.”
Why are you selling my name? Even the image is shit.
Look at how rumors like this spread in the yard where the war broke out right now.
“It’s good to have a pillar book in the yard where the poison killer is also written. Gongja Jin has his usual conduct, so people will understand.”
That’s oddly convincing. I nodded my head unconsciously, and suddenly felt a sense of incongruity in Wolhwa’s words.
“Who?”
Now that I think about it, she never brought up a story related to Lee So-kun. Like a hard-nosed businesswoman, she coordinated negotiations and forged alliances as if for granted.
‘What on earth do you believe in?’
Wol-hwa smiled at the suspicious gaze.
“Gongja Jin. Have you forgotten who I am?”
“Haomun, Shanxi branch manager… … Eyes flashed open.
Information, there is information. Information that I am not the culprit!
I quickly attached to the side of Wolhwa.
“Can you clear my name?
Do you really have that information?”
The beginning of the war is Lee So-kun’s poisoning. If all of this proves to be a conspiracy by someone, the war can be prevented.
However, those expectations were shattered by Wolhwa’s next words.
“No, no.”
what?
14 Then why ally with us?”
“Because it’s business.”
Wolhwa spoke in a cheerful tone.
“Our Haomen are basically merchants. We thoroughly follow the gains and losses of interest.”
“Then I guess it doesn’t make any more sense.”
“Oh, why?”
“Because the Hangsan checkpoint is stronger than us.
As you said, shouldn’t you stick to the Hangsan inspection if you weigh the gains and losses?”
“I’m honest. No, should I say naive?”
Wolhwa smiled.
“This is an investment. It is the result of putting both sides on a scale and analyzing it coldly.”
“Are you saying it doesn’t matter as long as you take advantage? Even if I really poisoned Li So-kun?”
“Gongja Jin. Haomen’s Shanxi Branch tried their best, but they couldn’t confirm the facts. What do you think this means?”
I hesitated, and Wolhwa did not wait for an answer.
“It’s simple. Either Gongja Jin is really innocent, or he hides it so well that even we can’t check it.”
“ah.”
“Either way it doesn’t hurt me. If it’s the former, it’s justified, so that’s good, and if it’s the latter, it’s proof that Taewonjinga’s skills are just as good.”
I was quite surprised. you can look at it like this Thorough understanding gains and losses and calculations.
As Wolhwa said, they must know exactly what it means to trade.
I felt reassured in my heart that such a being was an ally.
but… … .
“One important thing is missing. If I am innocent, then who is the main culprit who poisoned Li Su-kun?”
That is the crux of this war.
The biggest puzzle piece that even Wolhwa couldn’t find.
If Haomen knew the identity of the culprit, he would have brought that information today, so Wolhwa sighed.
“It’s embarrassing, but nothing has been revealed yet. But in the text, I’m doing my best. Ah, we are almost there.”
There were many things I wanted to ask, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut because I was conscious of the close guards.
‘Because the alliance with Hao Mun is still a secret.’
A four-headed carriage that seemed to have come from Wolhwa and the guards at the guards surrounding it caught my eye. A strange sense of tension has been transmitted all the way to here
‘Did something go wrong?’
I channeled gong energy through my eyes and ears. Soon the tense voices of the gatekeepers were heard through the enhanced senses.
“Gosu. must be At least top-notch, maybe even a top master. See the whip on the waist? He must be the one who handles the side like a ghost.”
“For a master like that to claim to be a coachman, after all, it’s different from being a low-income person.”
The samurai, who looked quite experienced, exchanged words in serious tones. Hearing this, the young warrior muttered timidly.
“But it seems like there are too many gaps in your posture for something like that? My physique is also thin… … The senior warriors clicked their tongues at those words.
“Mah, me and this friend have been making Sumungak jjambab for ten years. I know just by looking into your eyes
What do young laborers say to the elders about what they know?”
“Woe. Gap? Does that look like a gap? Relaxation and naturalness that only masters have. Can’t you see any of this?”
“Then what about solar blood? Masters with deep internal energy have solar blood protruding.”
“That’s a refutation… Unfortunately, the words were cut off there.
This is because the gate guards found us standing in front of the main gate and scattered.
thanks i was able to check it out.
A master at the peak who handles the whip like a ghost. The identity of a romantic Moorim man who claims to be a coachman in love with Wolhwa’s beauty.
“Gongja. Do you remember me?”
could you have forgotten
heavy voice. The scent of coriander from sharp eyes.
This is the coachman who took me to Jinga in Taewon a few days ago.
I never thought I’d see that face here Wolhwa spoke to me, who was unable to speak for a moment.
“They said he was friendly with Confucius Qin. The last time we went through life and death together, we developed a strong friendship that transcended age and status… … no. it’s not that. Please stop.
With that in mind, he pulled Wol-hwa by the sleeve, but it was too late. The coachman opened her mouth with a gentle smile.
“I still have vivid memories of that day when I close my eyes. Celestial Department… … Are you really strong? It was.”
The guards at the gatehouse, who were listening, let out exclamations.
“Oh oh.”
“The Ministry of Heavenly Power… … Could it be that the heavenly power department of the eighteen green forests?”
“Isn’t he the pinnacle master of Green Forest with a bad name? Killing a guy like that is, after all, that guy… … .”
I think you’ve misunderstood something very much.
I don’t even know where to start and where to correct it. The coachman hugged me as I stood blankly.
“If it wasn’t for Confucius, I would have been in great trouble.”
This man speaks very strangely. If it wasn’t for me, the nobleman would have been drinking makgeolli at the top of Mt. Bukmang.
“Let me put this aside for now… …
“It was the moment I was about to separate the coachman.
“Yeomra-pyeon (閻邏鞭). A master of expedient methods who suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago. that’s right. That must be him.”
A ripple broke out among the gatekeepers at someone’s murmur.
“Sweet side? Is it the climax master who toured the world and defeated the remnants of magic?”
“I’ve heard of that name before. Neither the scholar nor the past is known, the master of the love affair… … Come to think of it, I heard that the place where it was lost was near Shanseoseong.”
“Then you’re saying that the Three Gongja, no, our Gongjanim, are friends with the Yeomra-pyeon Daehyeop.”
“Is that all? It is clear that you played a big role in defeating the Heavenly Power Department.”
“Oh oh. Ohhhh.”
Hot eyes poured from all sides. He must have felt something strange, but the coachman tried to pull himself away, but my hand was firmly gripping his shoulder.
“Gongja?”
I had the brightest smile in the world.
“It’s nice to see you again. Yeom.La.side.
Great deal!”
My word had the effect of adding fuel to the flames.
woooo The floodgate guards stamped their feet, and Wolhwa bent down desperately trying to hold back her laughter.
belt ring.
–
Rumors about [The Poison Killer] will die down!
–
Rumors about [Shanxi Sleeping Dragon] add credibility!
– Reputation rises by 20!
– Enthusiastic supporters are born!
Amidst the beautifully resonating system notifications, I remembered a famous quote.
‘Perfect sphere… … It’s a true story.’
The young man was staring at the ceiling with open eyes. The black eyes that once sparkled lost their luster, and the face was contorted with fear and pain.
“Sweetheart. my son.”
Rough, large hands touch the young man’s face. The intense miasma that permeated through the skin was blocked by the natural air power.
“How did you become like this?”
The old man lamented. Born as an orphan, spent decades in Moorim.
I met a lot of people and let a lot of people go. I can’t count those memories until the young man of the contract became the owner of Ilmun.
“Was it painful? Were you so resentful that you couldn’t even close your eyes?”
He looked down at his son’s widened eyes and asked. The blood vessels had all burst and the eyes were stained red.
Just the terms and conditions. Tears of blood flowed from the father’s eyes as he faced his poisoned son.
“Son.”
The miasma that penetrated through his hands was spreading throughout the interior. After just a few breaths, my head spins and my limbs go numb. It’s such an extreme poison.
His whole body stiffened and he couldn’t even struggle.
“Don’t remember this pain.”
The next moment, a mighty air force rose like wildfire and drove the miasma. As if bitten by hundreds of wolves, the miasma that had engulfed the inside disappeared in an instant.
“I will pay them back a hundredfold, a thousandfold.”
Hengsan Geommunju, Blood Rang Geom (血狼劍) Lee Cheon-baek left his son’s body behind and walked. When I opened the door of the palace, I saw the black night sky and the flickering torches below.
A group of about two hundred heavily armed men.
The man in the lead bowed his head.
“father.”
Two thousand baek nodded to his eldest son.
“good. today… … It is the beginning of revenge.”
That night, more than 200 warriors escaped the Hengshan Checkpoint.
