Chapter 427 – 428

Again and again

Dangjinseol began to move slowly.

“How about steamed carp today?”

“All the fruits that came in today are fresh!”

“There is silk from the West Station! The texture is so soft that it feels like touching the clouds.”

“This is the cuckoo chicken I caught today! If you buy it now, I’ll give you a good price!”

Then many of her merchants began to solicit her.

Even at a glance, it must have smelled of money in her luxurious appearance.

However, Dangjinseol put on a haughty expression and she just moved her steps.

It was because I had no intention of fitting in with their solicitation.

Again and again

Just passed by

The fishmonger who shouted to buy carp

The fruit seller who shouted to buy fruit

The silksmith who sold cloth

All the butchers who recommended Ogol chicken.

Again and again

Dang Jin-seol, who passed everyone like that, soon walked toward a large inn in the middle of the main street.

There was only one word engraved on the guest cup: Haewoo 解憂.

Kiki profit

Soon after, she stopped in front of Haewoo guesthouse, and Dangjin Seol opened her door and began to pull it back.

Then there was the sound of an old hinge, and soon the inside of the inn was revealed.

The inside was no different from any other guesthouse.

Quite a variety of people gathered, ate food, drank alcohol, and chatted loudly.

It made no difference.

A common inn and horse.

“Oh, welcome, lady!”

At that time, a young Jeomsoi groaned toward Dangjinseol and said,

“Should I prepare something for you? Meal? Accommodation? Or alcohol? Just tell me. If that’s what you want, I’ll even catch a dragon.”

Jeom Soi smiled and opened his mouth.

It was a very polite attitude.

It must be kindness trained in the solicitation business.

“Are you really going to catch a dragon?”

Hearing Jeom So-yi’s words, Dang Jin-seol smiled softly and opened his mouth.

Haha, yes. Of course. There is nothing that the colonel cannot do in a manatee inn. Lady”

“That’s a very believable word.”

Dang Jin-seol smiled slightly and opened his mouth.

“So what would you like to order?”

“What’s delicious here?”

“There is nothing tasteless in manatee gaekjan. No matter what dish you eat, it is so delicious that it melts in your mouth.”

Jeomsoi accepted the words with a slightly humorous expression.

Whoever could see it, it was clear that it was full of mischief.

“Hmm… I heard that Haewoo guesthouses have rare food that cannot be found in other guesthouses…”

“Hmm…Well…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

In response to Dang Jin-seol’s question, Jeom So-yi continued as if he didn’t know.

“I heard that there is a food that looks like a dragon that is not a dragon and that that is not a stick looks like a phoenix.”

“Ah! Are you talking about Yongbongtang?”

“Well, I guess you’ll have to see for yourself whether it’s Yongbongtang or not.”

“Hmm, in that case, I’ll serve you the yongbongtang. But the yongbongtang is a bit expensive. Would that be okay?”

“If only the taste is good, what does price matter?”

Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

“You’re exciting. I see. You’re waiting in the private room for now. I’ll guide you.”

After speaking, Jeom Soi began to walk slowly.

“I know.”

Dangjin Seol nodded his head and followed Jeomsoi’s back.

Dripping

“Here it is.”

Shortly after arriving at the private room, Jeom So-yi opened the door and gestured.

At his words, Dang Jin-seol shook his head slightly and entered the room as it was.

And some places sat down.

“Yongbongtang will be served soon. So please wait a little longer.”

“It doesn’t matter if I come out slowly.”

“I can’t do that. Time is money.”

Dripping

Bang

Jeom Soi closed the door with a smile on his lips.

Dang Jin-seol looked at him quietly, then calmly kept his seat.

That is until someone comes in.

How long has it been like that

Knock Knock Knock

Suddenly someone started knocking on the door.

“I brought you some food.”

Soon, a cold voice came from outside, like a cold north wind.

“Come on in.”

Dripping

As soon as she gave her permission, the door opened and a man with a cold impression appeared.

Jerk jerk jerk

The man who entered the room took a stride and soon sat down across from Dangjinseol.

“It’s been a while. Madame.”

The man who appeared soon greeted Dang Jin-seol.

“It’s been a while.”

Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

“You are getting more beautiful day by day. Madame.”

“It’s all about pretending. Let’s start with the main point.”

Dangjinseol spoke in a cold tone.

Widely

Then he put his hand in his arms and put something on the table.

“It’s a bearer slip. The amount is exactly 500,000 nyang. And I’ve also secured the thunderbolts. I’ll bring it to the place you said.”

“You seem to have made up your mind.”

“Yes, it wouldn’t be too expensive if we could rule him out.”

Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

“Okay. Accept the request.”

Hearing her words, the man immediately shook his head.

And he threw the slip on the table into his bosom.

“Aren’t you counting?”

“You don’t look like you’re playing with your money.”

The man smiled slightly and opened his mouth.

“Of course, even if I joked, I’m confident that I’ll accept it completely.”

“That’s a lot of confidence.”

“Until something amazing… Well… It’s natural.”

The man opened his mouth with a careless expression.

“Can I hear the specific assassination plan?”

“It’s a specific assassination plan… Hmm”

Hearing Dang Jin-seol’s words, the man made an expression as if he was in trouble.

“The total number of assassins dispatched is 61.”

However, he soon recovered his color and continued to speak.

“It will consist of 10 first-class attendants, 20 first-class attendants, and 30 second-class attendants.”

“Is one person empty?”

“Haeju will fill the remaining one.”

“Do it… Ramen?”

“In the world, it is called the death soul.”

“…That…Wasn’t it just a rumor?”

“It can’t be. He really exists.”

“…”

After hearing the man’s words, Dangjin Seol opened his mouth wide.

It was because it was a nickname she knew well about her murder.

Murder soul

Death is fair.

This is because they come equally regardless of whether they are children or adults, men or women, old people or young people.

And this concept of death cannot be avoided even by the most robust Murim people.

Even if you train a strong body and have a deep and pure internal energy, it is inevitable to become weak or senile.

It was the providence of nature that weakened as the years went by.

One day forty years ago

Maehwageomje, who was a long-time scholar of Hwasan, faced death.

It was a sudden, unpredictable death.

Hwasan’s disciples were puzzled by the sudden death of Jang Moon-in.

It was because Maehwa Geomje was not young, but she was not old enough to face a sudden death.

The disciples who felt puzzled asked the coroner to investigate the cause of death.

However, no traces of the murder could be found on the body of Jang Moon-in, and the cause of death ended with a heart attack.

The disciples felt puzzled, but soon had no choice but to accept, and had no choice but to hold the funeral of the Volcano Sword Emperor with a grievous heart.

Because there was no other clear solution.

People said in unison.

Even the Murim people who look like immortals are mere humans.

But after that, strange things happened in Moorim.

Moorim’s myeongsuk, who everyone in the know knows, started to lose their lives from heart attacks one by one.

They were famous warriors of Moorim who were renowned for their high martial arts, such as Volcanic Swordje, Mubultongji, Cheongun Swordsmith, Gwongol, Apprentice, and Hardened Sword.

Then people questioned.

I couldn’t help but question the situation in which Murim people, who had strong bodies and pure bets, lost their lives due to heart attacks.

How does this happen

Normally, when a person dies like this, it would be correct to see it as an assassination, but there were no traces of any kind of murder on the body.

If so, I can only see it as a waiter, but this also raised questions.

How could they just die suddenly?

They had nothing in common except that they were Murim masters.

The question is bound to deepen.

Then one day

A strange rumor began to circulate in Murim.

It was rumored that the deaths of the celebrities were manslaughter, not heart attacks.

It is by killing the soul, killing the soul.

The reason was that no traces of the murder could be found because the soul, not the body, was killed.

The rumor grew bigger and spread all over Murim, and for a while, the murderer who killed the soul reigned as fear itself in Moorim.

It was accepted as a divine existence that gives irresistible death.

“Huh.”

Dangjinseol let out a laugh.

Death itself, which reigned as the fear of Moorim 40 years ago, was in fact the culmination of bloodshed.

How can you believe

“Can you tell me about that?”

“I’ve never really hidden it. It’s just that the Lord has nothing to do. It’s just naturally forgotten.”

The man spoke in a calm tone.

“I’m satisfied.”

Dang Jin-seol opened his mouth with a satisfied smile.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”

The man smiled and opened his mouth.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

“As long as you let him come out of the party, there will be no problem. Inside the party, there will be many problems to proceed with work.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already planned everything.”

Dang Jin Seol continued to speak with his eyes sparkling.

Her eyes were full of confidence.

“There is one more variable than that.”

“Are you talking about variables?”

“Yes, Kang Ha-yoon will also participate in the assassination.”

“Are you talking about the phoenix owner Kang Ha-yoon?”

After hearing her words of Dangjinseol, the man questioned her with her surprised eyes.

“Yes, I am Kang Ha-yoon, the phoenix.”

“Double commissioning is difficult. The sword of blood has no eyes.”

The man spoke in a calm tone.

“It’s okay. If you get in the way, I can kill you.”

“…Are you serious?”

“Yes, do whatever you want with the meat shield you used as bait.”

Dang Jin Seol opened her mouth with a deep smile.

“Aren’t they serving the same consort? A request?”

“That’s true, but I’m coveted for the position of Phoenix Daeju.”

Dangjinseol opened her mouth, her greedy eyes shining.

“They say there’s no one to trust in the world, so I guess that’s right.”

“Isn’t it a world where believers are fools?

At the man’s words, Dang Jin-seol responded with a smile.

************

Thump thump thump

Someone started knocking on the door.

“Three wives! Three wives! Three wives!”

His voice was full of urgency.

“…Come on in.”

Hearing the voice, Geumjeokhwa opened her mouth in a weak voice.

I felt like I had accumulated a lot of fatigue from repeated overtime work.

Jump

Soon the door opened and Danggam, a member of the Jaekyunggak, appeared.

“What’s going on?”

Geumjeokhwa opened her mouth while looking at Danggam with tired eyes.

“I’m in big trouble now!”

“…Please speak.”

“A letter came from the Cheonmu-maeng!”

Danggam lifted up a letter and opened her mouth.

“Bonama or Dang Jin-seol must have sent a reminder to send money. Throw it in the corner over there.”

Geum Jeok-hwa opened her mouth with a troubled expression.

After discovering the corruption

She was the one who cut her all her support by more than half.

Of course, Dangjinseol resisted and repeatedly demanded to send money.

If it is a letter from Cheonmu-maeng, it must be a reminder.

“That’s not it!”

In response to her words, Danggam opened her mouth, tapping her chest as if frustrated.

“Then…What is it?”

Geum Jeok-hwa, seeing her Dang-gam’s appearance, asked him with a puzzled expression.

“It means that the letter is stamped with the ruler’s seal!”

“I beg your pardon!?”

Hearing her words of gratitude, Geum Jeok-hwa widened her eyes as if surprised.

What does the master seal mean?

Isn’t that a letter written by the Lord himself?

“Come on, give it to me!”

She quickly reached out her hand and snatched the letter from her brother’s hand.

Sizzle

And she opened her correspondence and began to read her contents.

It was because I was wondering why the Heavenly Armed Lord had sent the letter all of a sudden.

Rumbling

Gold Jeokhwa began to read the letter quickly, rolling her eyes nonstop.

How long has it been like that

‘What the hell is this!’

Soon, her face began to turn pale.

It was because the letter contained more urgent news than expected.

Jump up

Goldsmith quickly got up from his seat.

“Thank you. I’m sure!”

And after she thanked Danggam, she left her office.

It was because I felt that I had to convey the contents of the letter to Dang Seo-yoon as soon as possible.

Danggam stared blankly at the back of such a gold coin.
