Chapter 126 – Chapter 26 (1)

“Have you been watching this situation for a long time?”
“Yes, yes. But…The others didn’t listen to me…”

She is puzzled by the disappearance of Namgung Chung-ha’s body, and she made several suggestions to Namgung Kang, but was told that she was ignored.

Since there is no sense of crisis like this, even if the swordsman came to visit him directly saying that he had received an order from the military of the Jeongmu-maeng, he would give an answer like ‘I will help you when I can afford it’.

However, even if she had a timid personality because she was reviled by others for being Namgung, she still had the tenacity to go her own way.

So, even if she was criticized, she came to the place where others sparred and intervened.

I don’t know if it’s because of his perseverance or if his personality is like this.

Jincheon asked the location of Pacheonhoe’s base with the feeling that he had caught an unexpected treasure.

“Do you know where these guys stole the body and went?”
“I don’t know about that…”

‘Shit. After all, there’s no way things will work out that well.’

“Looking at where it’s headed… If I gather more information… It’s the base where corpses are collected… I think I have a rough idea of ​​the location…”
“…What?”

Jin-cheon, whose face is distorted without her knowledge, wondering what the hell this situation is.

Did you see it?
It’s not a corpse-gathering base, but a base located in the center of it, right?

“I’m sorry!”

Namgung Chung-ha’s face distorted, and she apologized without even knowing what she had done wrong.

“No, no, I’m not angry. I think I’m mistaken. These guys aren’t just collecting corpses, they’re trying to do something with the corpses. So, the place where they collect corpses is not their home base.”
“I…I know that. The home base I’m talking about…I mean the…Final settlement of those who collect the corpses…”

Then she squatted down and with the tip of her knife scribbled a map of Dongji Prefecture on her ground.

“This is where we are now…The corpse gatherers are divided in different directions…”

Jincheon and his party huddled together over the head of Namgung Cheongha, who was squatting, to check what she was saying.

“It’s summer now… The weather here is generally muggy… No matter how much we embalm the corpse… To a faraway place in such a hot and humid situation… We can’t move the corpse very far…”

She traced the path of the tomb robbers who stole the body she identified, but she couldn’t go beyond the schedule.

“Why don’t you draw a line?”

When Lim Ha-yeon asked, she replied bitterly to Namgung Chung-ha.

“…Because I’m alone…More than this…It’s dangerous…”

She was investigating these things on her own, without anyone’s help.
That’s why she couldn’t follow her any longer than necessary because she would die if she was caught by robbers.

“But…The approximate location…Can be known… And…For some reason…If you move the corpse in an uncorrupted state as much as possible…”

Namgungcheongha circled wide in the northwest.

“At about this point…I’m going to collect the corpses…If I knew the grave robbers’ base…I could mark them more clearly…But…I don’t know any more than this…”
“…”

Jincheon and his party quietly confirmed what Namgung Cheongha had said.

‘Yeah, no matter how embalmed it is, I wouldn’t think of moving this hot weather for a month or two.’
‘It would be dozens of times easier to have equipment and magicians to make Jiangshi.’

Originally, she had to know one by one like headbutting into the ground, but thanks to her, she was able to get a rough direction.

“Okay, this much information would be very helpful.
“Ah, ah, ah, no! That, that, just… I was curious and checked…!”

Namgoong Cheongha, who is not used to being praised, said thank you to Namgoong Cheongha, but her face turned red.

– I don’t think it’s an ordinary airless light. I’d rather go with him rather than go alone.

Deciding that it would be better to work with her husband Chung-ha in order to solve this problem quickly, Jincheon sent a telegram to his women.

Everyone nodded and agreed with Jincheon’s proposal, judging that it would be better if there was someone who had at least some information about the situation.

“Didn’t I ask you to ask Namgung?”
“Yes yes!”
“You will have to help me.”
“Yes?”

*        *

“What did you say?”

Namgoong Kang asked, enduring that her expression almost distorted without her knowledge.

“Fortunately, this kid had a rough idea of ​​the location of the group I was after. So lend me this kid. I’ll help you out after dealing with the organization I’m after.”
“…”

Kang Namgung barely held back her heart, which was about to simmer without her knowledge.

She was full of thoughts of enlisting the help of Sword Hu, because she never imagined that Namgung Chung-ha would be investigating her body to the extent of being able to find out the direction of her body grabbers by herself.

‘Damn it! It really doesn’t help!’

Namgung Cheongha can be said to be the shame of the Namgung family, but she was used as a general warrior because her skills were outstanding.

Originally, it would have been used for arranged marriages long ago.
If you look at it from Sega’s point of view, it’s several times more profitable.

However, since she already knew everything about what she had done, she had no choice but to use her as a normal samurai because marriage talks did not come in.

However, as she investigated the body grabbers alone, she didn’t have to ask for help from the swordsman.

Namgunggang desperately made excuses to use the power of swordsman somehow.

“I understand the feelings of the swordsman. However, that child is an officer in charge of the front line…”
“That’s strange. I asked her what title she held, but she said she was a general.”
“…”

It collapsed from the start.
Seeing Namgung Kang’s laid-back expression, saying that she already knew everything she knew, she unknowingly glared at Namgung Cheong-ha with her fierce eyes.

“Hey…!”
“You’re not intimidating your niece, are you?”

Geomhu raised some momentum towards Namgung Kang as she moved to cover the body of her Namgung Chungha.

“Ah, no. Great. Look at this, sword lord. Right now, we are in a somewhat advantageous situation as we have effectively blocked the Northern Heavenly Palace’s large-scale air attack. That’s why, if Swordhu comes forward and puts more pressure on the momentum, the Northern Heavenly Palace will eventually retreat. So, Even during that time…”
“I understand what you said, so don’t worry. Once you’ve solved the dark side’s work, I’ll help you with this side’s work as well.”
“…”

Namgung Kang was offended by her sarcasm when she said that he would help her solve the dark side’s affairs, but there was nothing to stop her.

It was because he was the one who had come under the order of the political affairs maeng in the first place, and he knew that due to the nature of the swordsman, he wasn’t just saying empty words to reassure him.

She tried to tell Namgung Chung-ha what he had done in the past, but when she thought about it, it wasn’t something that would adversely affect her mission.

“Okay. I’ll lend you her niece. Instead, just know that if you can’t keep up with her current momentum, you’ll have to suffer many times over.”

In the end, Namgung-gang allowed the swordsman to return as soon as possible, saying a line mixed with pressure, and to carry out the duties of the political affairs alliance with Namgung Cheong-ha.

“Let’s go.”
“Yes yes…!”

Namgung Kang had to relieve her anger by kicking the ground nervously at the sight of Namgung Cheongha disappearing with Sword Master.

*        *

Pacheonhoe’s Gangsi manufacturing facility somewhere.

“You mean to use Jiangshi as a guard?”
“Hmm. They say that there were two places where they procure corpses to make into Jiangshi.”

The general manager, who confirmed the order from the messenger who had formally brought the order to strengthen the defenses of the manufacturing facility with the manufactured steel, opened his mouth to the executive who was manufacturing the steel.

“In one place, there are traces of someone escaping, so it was a problem caused by the corpse collection team not doing their job properly, but in the other place, there were no traces left, but it was a surprise attack.”
“Someone knows us.”
“It’s an order given by the superiors as well.”
“It’s just fine.”

At first, the person in charge of manufacturing Jiangshi seemed to be thinking about something, but soon smiled and opened his mouth.

“I made high-quality corpses, such as Sapa’s supreme master Heukhwangsu and Jeongpa’s counter-sword, into demonic demons. I’m sorry for the dead, but I wanted to see the power of these guys, and it turned out well. .”

Gwiryeong jiangshi is a jiangshi that can be made with much more advanced technology than the general jiangshi manufacturing method.

Jiangshi usually have stiff joints and lose flexibility at the cost of hardening their skin, but this Gwiling Jiangshi does not have such problems and can use the martial arts he had before.

Its skin becomes as hard as a lump of iron, and it boasts defensive power as if it were wearing armor made entirely of iron.

On top of that, as his physical abilities become stronger, his stamina becomes infinite, and he loses his emotions, so there is no such thing as fear.

If you make a transcendental master into a ghost, you can show off your fighting power equal to that of a master of Hwagyeong.

There are so many materials needed to make a ghost, and the ratio of medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs to the physique of the corpse and the degree of decay varies each time, so even in the situation where the skill level of the magicians is the highest, they are repeating success and failure with a 50% chance.

“5th Gwiryeonggangshi made with super-fine coriander, 50th Gingergsi made with peaked coriander. Okay, right before sending the Jiangshi troops to the headquarters, an official letter came down, so the power is also splendid. .”
“No matter what the outcome is, you can directly check the battles of the Jiangshi, so it will be a great help in improving the Jiangshi.”

They did not doubt that the Jiangshi they had created would surely be able to kill anyone.

*        *

“I… The last place I checked was here…”

Namgung Chungha opened her mouth on the path of the grave robbers she had last seen.

“From here, they scattered in many ways.”
“Yes… So I couldn’t pursue it any longer… No matter how many times I chased it… It always split from here…”

However, Jincheon was satisfied that this alone could greatly shorten the time.

If she hadn’t informed her, she would have had to wait endlessly at the tomb where countless people came and went, not knowing what traces belonged to the grave robbers.

Jincheon confirmed her traces while using the ability of the hunting skill that permeated her body.

“This way.”

Jincheon said that the correct answer was the place that stretched in the northwest direction from there, and she started moving.

“How can you be so sure, Jinrang?”

Im Ha-yeon was so confident that she rather asked why in reverse.
After thinking about something for a while, Jincheon opened her mouth to Namgung Chungha instead of Lim Hayeon.

“Namgung Chungha.”
“Yes yes!?”
“These guys, when did you start stealing corpses?”
“Uh…That’s…”

Startled by her sudden question, she rolled her eyes and relived her memory.

She looks pretty frustrated, but since timid people don’t get things resolved quickly, even though she’s a bit frustrated, she waited.

“It’s been about a month…”
“Then no one followed the grave robbers during that time?”
“Yes…I told my uncle…But don’t pay attention to such trivial matters…”

‘It’s as the sangjang said. There was a reason why a young late Ji-soo like Namgung Sang-hyeon had a wrong idea.’

Cheon Hye-woon came to understand why Namgung Sang-hyeon had such values.

Anyway, Jincheon heard her answer and opened her mouth to Lim Hayeon.

“This is the reason. At first, these guys must have done the disrupt work thoroughly. Maybe even if it was me, it would have taken a lot of time to follow the traces? “

They work hard only when the other party accepts the disruptive work, and they work hard on one side and do not even look sideways at the other side, saying that it doesn’t matter whether they do it or not.

Moreover, it is even more so if there is no response for a month, not a day or two.

Therefore, it was a simple task for Jincheon to find a real way out of the distraction work.

Jincheon stood in front of her and moved while checking traps and guards just in case.

That’s how she was able to see the large mountain cabin with the guards.
However, Jincheon did not attack the mountain hut.

After checking the surroundings instead, she only marked Pacheonhoe’s robber base on the map.

“Centered here…”

I was able to calculate a location that was a little clearer than before by marking one of the grave robber bases collecting corpses and the route the other grave robbers had moved.

“If I find just one more… I think I’ll be able to figure out the location with a 50% chance…”
“No, you don’t have to.”

That’s when Jincheon doesn’t have the ability to track her enemies.

“Since we found their base, we can follow the trail of the bodies they took.”
“That’s right… I’m sorry…”
“No, it’s my mistake for not telling you that I have this tracking technique.”

‘Even if you’re timid, you’re very timid. But seeing as he’s the type to say his own thing, he seems lively.’

A woman like this is being held back by her idiots who don’t even know her own talents.

Jincheon, who had a brief conversation and discussed martial arts, she has a great talent for improving martial arts as well as knowledge.

In the past, there was a time when scholars approached martial arts academically, developed martial arts, and became a master in martial arts.

In other words, Namgungcheongha has a talent specialized in the development and improvement of martial arts like the main characters in such bachelor books.

‘This bitch must be my bitch.’

If it goes well, it is the same as using Einstein as a food delivery man.

In the worst case, even if she goes back to her main job (don’t rape), she is determined to make her male palace Cheong-ha her own woman. Started tracking.

‘There’s no reason to raise awareness by destroying their base. The first one has clear evidence of a fugitive, so I’ll just assume it’s just bad luck, but I’m sure I’ll be wary of the second.

But Jincheon did not know.

Contrary to her expectations, the fact that Zhuge Jin had raided the Pacheon meeting base to confirm her memories.

And that the Pacheonhoe prepared a countermeasure while firmly preparing for the attack.
