Chapter 127 – Chapter 26 (2)
“Yes? What?”
Arriving in Dongji County, Zhuge Jin inquired about the location of Namgung Cheongha, and found out an absurd fact while treating a samurai of the Namgung Sega who seemed light-hearted.
“The swordsman left with that woman to find the corpse robbers.
“…”
Jegaljin, who was courting the warrior Namgungse, was clearly taken aback by the unexpected situation.
‘What are you talking about now? Why is there a postmortem?’
There is still more time left before the existence of Pacheonhoe is known.
It is also known thanks to the existence of Baekgangcheon, and there is no reason for the existence of Pacheonhoe to be known already without Baekgangcheon.
‘No, I don’t know exactly what the circumstances are.’
If he had been clearly aware of the existence of Pacheonhoe, the Namgung family would not have been so lukewarm.
‘What do we do?’
There is a factory that makes Jiangshi near here.
If you are, you can figure out its location.
After hearing the story, it is said that it has not been long since he left, so she will be able to join Swordsman at a narrow distance.
And she can buy Sword Hu’s favor by dealing with Pachenghui’s Jiangshi Manufacture together with Sword Hu.
However, if that happens, she will somehow fall into the eyes of Pacheonhoe.
The Pacheonhoe wants to deal with anyone they think has noticed them.
Assassination, poisoning, annihilation, etc., Mobilizing all kinds of methods to keep the secret.
Although he has learned the martial arts and internal skills of Cheonyongje, it takes a little more time to fully digest them as his own.
And he intends to create a force following the footsteps of Baek Gang-cheon.
However, if Pacheonhoe monitors him, the talented people he has recruited will be mixed with dangerous molecules and die before they can unleash their talents.
‘Namgoong Cheongha… What do we do?’
Jegal-jin gets dizzy in an unexpected situation.
He wanted to save at least Namgung Chung-ha, but
‘She has no reason or excuse to get her out.’
Kidnap?
If he did, he might get scolded and cheated.
Although the swordsman has no power, he is a famous figure in the political faction.
If she pretends to be with her like that, it will be a big problem for her to increase her power in the realm of her sect.
‘… Namgoong Chungha is abandoned.’
To be honest, she’s just using it to improve her own martial arts.
Even if you succeed in wiping out the Jiangshi factory of Pacheonhoe with Geomhu, you will be watched by Pacheonhoe.
Zhuge-jin, who only wanted her talent and had no interest in the woman herself, took time to learn the martial arts of Cheon Yong-je himself.
And he remembers the movements of Baek Gang-cheon, the leader of the Murim League, so if you follow them, you might find an improvement.
‘This is not the time to spend time here. I’m going to get Wi Ji-tae, the object of the future.’
Wiji-tae, who will serve as the foundation for the forces he will create.
After tasting failure once, he falls into despair and rises to the position of Daesangin with the help of Baek Kang-cheon.
In addition, he knew when and which products sold the best, and he knew where the riches that served as the basis for Baekgangcheon were hidden.
Help Ji-tae Wi win his allegiance, expand the company, and recruit talented people who will show off their talents in the future.
In the end, after calculation, Zhuge Jin, whose top priority was to create his own forces, decided to abandon Namgung Chung-ha, who would fall into the eyes of Pacheonhoe, whether he destroyed the Jiangshi factory of Pacheonhoe or failed.
If she was Jincheon, she would be Nabal, a retrospective of Pacheon. He would shout, but Zhuge Jin had no intention of embracing unnecessary risk factors in creating a force that would serve as his background.
Jegal-jin, who missed Namgung Cheong-ha by a hair’s breadth, set out to find Wi Ji-tae again.
Namgoongjin remembered a woman who was pondering whether there was someone who could replace Namgung Chungha or whether she had the talent she had inadvertently overlooked.
‘Come to think of it, there was a woman named Hong Seol-rin.’
As he was a member of the Pacheonhoe, he found out that there was a traitor who cooperated with them in the Jeongmumaeng as he rose in position.
Surprisingly, he cooperated with Yuhanchang Hongjin-daero, who was respected by many people, to destroy the family to get her niece Hong Seol-lin.
Even though she had the time and space to abduct Hong Seol-rin earlier, Hong Jin-dae, who took her considerable time and kidnapped her for some reason, handed her role to another traitor instead of him, and returned to her family. I went back and did the bonmun.
However, while Pacheonhoe was counterattacked by Baekgangcheon, they found out that Hongjindae was a traitor, and the Jeong faction, angry enough to ignore the unwritten rule that a family or clan that had a Bongmun, did not attack, attacked Hongjindae’s family.
After killing Hong Jin-dae, what was found was Hong Seol-rin, who was pregnant with Hong Jin-dae’s baby after her limb muscle veins were severed in the basement.
Unable to overcome the shock of being betrayed by the uncle she trusted and the despair of being pregnant with her child after being raped by the uncle without a day off, she was rescued and taken care of. Squeezing all his strength, he committed suicide.
Still, Jegal-jin, who was once a member of Oh Ryong Sam-bong, thought that he might have talent, but he had to block Hong Jin-dae’s plan, so he decided to check it out.
There is still time before she gets kidnapped by Hong Jin-dae.
It is not known why he took her time and kidnapped her, but what is clear is that he can afford it.
Thinking of the talents to be acquired in the future, Zhuge Jin quickly began to move using light air.

“Found.”
After moving for half a day, Jincheon and his party found a huge cave that looked artificially made.
“No matter how hard you use it, it’s so close that you can find it in half a day. How can you look down on the sect…!”
Cheon Hye-woon was indignant as her fists trembled.
However, Lim Ha-yeon must have felt that something was wrong, so she opened her mouth to Jin-cheon.
“Jinrang, be careful. I don’t feel good.”
“I agree with you this time. It’s so smooth.”
“Huh~ I guess you can think that much too?”
“Are you really the one who lost to me on a fictional day with that level of judgment?”
“What?”
Im Ha-yeon and Seo Yu-ran growled at each other, showing that their bad relationship still remains.
“Uh… Over there…”
Namgung Cheong-ha, who saw this, cautiously asked.
“Im Ha-yeon… You’re talking to the swordsman…?”
“Yeah. I’m older than him. It’s because I learned Joo Angong to look younger.”
“Then… Jincheon-sama also…?”
“No. Jinrang is a young man in his 20s.”
“?”
Namgoong Cheong-ha tilted her head, wondering what the situation was.
Im Ha-yeon is older than Seo Yu-ran.
However, Lim Ha-yeon and Jin-cheon are married.
In front of Namgung Chung-ha, Jin-cheon said her honorifics to Seo Yu-ran.
With no way of knowing what the hell was going on, her head was spinning over the complicated relationship.
“Keuhmm. Small talk is over, let’s check inside quickly.”
Seo Yu-ran did not want to talk about their relationship, so she took the lead by clearing her throat to change her mood.
‘Feel free to tease me. If I finish this job, I’ll turn you into a female.’
Deciding to go to Sapa once this work is over, Jincheon made a plan to make Seo Yuran his female on the way.
She has already calculated all of her strategies, but it remains to be seen whether she will become a female and whine as he expected.
Anyway, Jincheon and the others entered the artificially dug cave.
Seo Yu-ran, who had entered such a place in the past and was attacked, showed a willingness to immediately destroy even the slightest suspicion while unfolding a gimag.
“This…”
However, there were huge metal barrels for people and all sorts of complicated looking objects strewn about.
“I guess they saw us coming.”
“It’s amazing. Even though there are masters of the Hwagyeong, it doesn’t get caught on this side.”
“Surprisingly, it’s not that difficult if a professional scout who is trained in how to get rid of death and reduce presence is vigilant from a distance.”
A high level increases overall ability, but it is a different matter to notice a recon or assassin moving stealthily with a determined and reduced presence.
That’s why, towards Cheon Hye-wun, who was inexperienced compared to his age, he relieved his excessive tension by explaining why the three masters of Hwagyeong didn’t notice.
Other than that, Jincheon and the others chatted lightly and talked about the situation in front of them.
There are no obstacles to getting here.
It’s like they’re inviting you to come inside because there’s something openly suspicious.
All of these seemed to be enticing intruders to come inside.
When the situation came to decide something, everyone’s eyes except Namgung Chung-ha focused on Jincheon.
Seeing him waiting for his decision even after the swordsman, Namgung Chung-ha couldn’t help but put on an expression that he couldn’t understand why everyone was waiting for his decision.
“I’m sorry if you don’t come in after inviting me this far.”
“Upper space, is it okay? If it’s a trap…”
“If we go back like this, they’ll just run away. When we bring in reinforcements, we’ll see that only trash and unnecessary things are left behind.”
– What are you afraid of? There are three Hwagyeongs, and one person who is close to the Hwagyeong. Even without him, do you think you’ll get caught in some kind of trap with this much power?
He smiled confidently as Jinchun telegraphed his women.
-Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will always protect you.
At his remarks, Cheon Hye-woon and Lim Ha-yeon’s expressions immediately brightened.
It was because they experienced firsthand that their husbands never talk nonsense.
Seo Yu-ran made her telephonic sound so that Namgung Cheong-ha couldn’t hear it, and felt a certain confidence in Jin-cheon’s appearance as she confidently headed inward.
‘… Yes, to be honest, even if it was a haircut, he was stronger than me.’
Although he is a despicable horse, at least he always keeps his word and is fearless in dealing with his enemies.
I ended up going with him unintentionally, but from the point of view of fighting together with a common enemy, he is the strongest supporter.
As Jincheon led the way, the rest of the party followed suit.
What Jincheon and the others witnessed after escaping through the slightly elongated aisle were a common room as bright as broad daylight with lights on here and there, strange objects all incomprehensible, iron stairs and footrests divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors, and It was a wooden coffin that was erected and fixed as if to surround them.
Clap clap clap!
At that time, everyone raised their heads upward as applause was heard from somewhere.
20 to 30 gloomy people were looking down at them on a scaffold located on the third floor, and the most colorful man among them opened his mouth.
Haha!
“Are you in charge of this place?”
“Call me Cho Mutak.
“Forward? What are you talking about?”
When a harsh sentence came out of the middle-aged man who identified himself as Cho Moo-tak, the swordsman, who felt an instinctive displeasure, drew his sword.
Rattle! Rattle!
As if that was a signal, the wooden coffin opened, revealing the faces of those inside.
“That…Those people are the countersword brothers! Sapa’s Black Emperor!? Besides, all of those people’s corpses must have been returned to the text!?”
Namgungcheongha was astonished at the sight of the corpses gathered from both political and private factions.
When Namgung-gang retrieved the body, in order to show the duty of the Jeongpa, people with a sect could return to the main text, and those who had a munpa, a ronin, or a one-man transmission, made a separate graveside and buried them.
But now, in front of Namgung Cheong-ha’s eyes, even the corpses of the masters escorted by Namgung-gang to their sect existed.
Beep —–
When Namgung Chung-ha was shocked and surprised, the people on the third floor blew flutes that sounded close to high frequency.
At the same time, the eyes of the blue corpses suddenly opened and came out of the fixed coffin.
Seeing the approaching beings that didn’t feel like they were alive, Jincheon took notice of the five corpses that moved the most smoothly.
“Behind, behind!”
Namgung Cheong-Ha, who instinctively checked the retreat route, shouted as if screaming at the sight of Jiangshi hidden in long barrels protruding from among the objects they saw.
“From now on, I will massage your body to my heart’s content, so I’m asking you to take good care of me from now on! I’m looking forward to seeing how powerful Jiangshi will become if it’s Hwa-gyeong’s corpse! Haha!”
Cho Mutak revealed his true nature when Jiangshi came out and besieged Jincheon’s party.
“Keuhehe! What should I touch first? Yes, let’s start with dissection and check the inside of Hwagyeong’s body…”
“Hey hey hey!”
He was anticipating how to enjoy the corpse after the sword, and when Jincheon, who hadn’t paid any attention to him, spoke plainly to him, he frowned.
“You now have two options.”
However, Jincheon ignored his expression and only said what he had to say.
“It doesn’t fit because it comes down gently. After I go up and pull it down, I get beaten up. When hyung says good things, come down gently. It’s hard to look up because it hurts my neck.”
Seeing Jincheon waving his wrist as if emphasizing the bottom with his fingers, Cho Mu-tak and the magicians who were manufacturing the Jiangshi made absurd expressions, wondering what he was doing.
“What is that madman?”
“I do not know.”
“The kids who were beaten by their brother and hit their heads are ten and a half rounds of the parade ground! You look old and have no strength, so I won’t hit you if you come down nicely!”
After receiving the nickname Okmyeonssangryeo, they hadn’t done much outside activities, so the magicians of Pacheonhoe, who were quietly making Jiangshi, all tilted their heads.
“What kind of crazy guy. Kill him first.”
“Kill!”
Beep——–
When he started blowing a high-pitched sound through the flute again, Jiangshi attacked Jincheon and his party from all sides.
“Would you prefer the latter?”
When one of the raw thorns, made by a master master, rushed at him brandishing a weapon, Jincheon lightly dodged it and grabbed Jiangshi’s head with one hand.
Boo woo woo!
“100 million!?”
“Stop!”
Then, he threw it at Cho Mutak’s party on the 3rd floor with tremendous force.
Quaang!
“Kuk!”
“Ugh!”
Surprised by Jincheon’s surprise attack throwing the Jiangshi, the guards belatedly slashed the Jiangshi’s body, and the shock was transmitted to the scaffolding throughout the third floor.
“It’s right there! Kill these bastards and you’re next!”
Seeing Jincheon pointing a finger at him, Cho Moo-tak trembled with anger.
How dare a nameless vulture point to himself and provoke?
It is possible only if you clearly belittle yourself.
“Jo Mutak-sama. In case you don’t know, go to the secret passage first…”
“What? Are you telling me to run away because you’re afraid of threats from that young guy!?”
“That…That’s not…”
Cho Mutak, who has a personality that cannot be laughed at even when provoked by a young guy who is less than half his age, resents the escort for escaping through a secret passage just in case.
“You must kill that guy! I’ll make his corpse roll for testing!”
To watch Jincheon, who dared to laugh at him, die by the Jiangshi, Cho Mutak gave up the option of running away safely and began to watch the sword fight.
