Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 268. eat curses and survive

In general, thieves have a developed sense of touch.

Even petty thieves do that, let alone Muyoungshintu Baekkyo, a famous swordsman in Henan.

He instinctively knew that the middle-aged man was strange.

The thought of it once gave me goosebumps even though I was unarmed.

Perhaps he was an expert in martial arts or martial arts.

Just because the opponent didn’t have a sword, you shouldn’t be relieved.

Baegyo decided not to come down from the floor.

In addition, I didn’t intend to let that unknown man into the room.

“I will not go down, but I do not want you to come near either.”

“her! You are smaller than you look. So what are you going to do? Shall we do something that never happened? If you want that, I’ll go back like this.”

At the opponent’s provocation, Baek Kyo hesitated for a moment.

This is understandable since it is a crossroads between giving up 20,000 nyang or accepting it at all.

Then the man turned his body slightly.

Sometimes these small gestures are more effective than prompting an answer.

As expected, Baek Kyo reacted immediately.

“for a moment!”

“Have you changed your mind again?”

Baek Kyo smiled and answered the man’s smirk question.

“Why is someone who knows? You should leave the ticket in place. is not it?”

“ah!”

After a brief exclamation, the man took out a slip from his bosom and set it down on the ground.

“I did what you asked me to do. I hope we never see each other again.”

After saying that, the man disappeared into the darkness.

The change of behavior was so fast that it was mistaken for a dream unless it was a slip lying in the yard.

However, even after the man left, Baek Kyo stood on the floor for a while and remained vigilant.

It was as if he would die if he left Maru.

Did it pass like that (15 minutes)?

Finally convinced of his safety, Baekkyo carefully descended into the yard.

Then he snatched the slip and brought it right in front of his eyes.

to check the amount.

In an instant, I smelled a strange smell from the slip.

“Such a punishment…”

With an ominous feeling, Baek Gyo threw the slip away.

But it’s already too late.

My head was spinning and my limbs were paralyzed.

It was a mistake not to have thought that the lion of the Zhuge family would use poison.

Soon, Baek Gyo’s body fell backwards.

After he fell down, the man emerged from the darkness as if he had waited.

The man retrieved the slip after confirming that Baek Gyo had stopped breathing.

“It was close. If the old fox had been a little later, I would have been in trouble.”

Once exposed to air, poison weakens over time. If Baek Gyo had taken a little longer, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.

Eventually, the man put the slip into a leather pouch and carefully closed it.

“Is it over now?”

The man, who was looking down at Baekkyo with bitter eyes, inadvertently scratched the bottom of his ear.

The bast cotton balls brushed against his fingertips lightly twitched.

Jegal Seung-woon, the new detective in the company, entered the room and turned it over loudly, then quietly disappeared.

***

Around noon.

About 200 unmanned people appeared on the country road.

They are the masters of the Cheonjimaeng Suzakudae who are heading towards Hodusan.

Sam Oh, a villager hired as a guide, said, pointing to a sign that said Yodu Village.

“If it is Yodu Village, it is a village under Walnut Mountain. Now, after about half an hour (about 30 minutes), you will see Walnut Mountain. You said you only need to guide them to the place where you can see Walnut Mountain, right?”

Oh Sam had a burdensome expression on his face as he guided the people of Cheonjimaeng.

It is because they do not know what kind of harm they will suffer if their backs explode in a fight between whales.

Sword King Namgung Byeok nodded.

“exactly. You can go back when you see the walnut mountain.”

If you followed the Guando, you didn’t need a guide.

It is Namgung-yeon who hires a guide and recommends going on an unknown road.

Thanks to this, it turned a little, but this was the best way to catch the enemy off guard.

Seonwoo Seonwudam, Hwanwoo Sword, approached Namgung Byeok.

“The Namgung family lord’s expedition this time is troubling me. Do you have any tricks?”

“Hey, I just do what Yuna tells me to do. As you know, tricks are impossible in my head.”

Since Seonwudam was old, Namgung Byeok was respectful.

“I envy you for having such a wonderful daughter. Speaking of which, my son is not enough, how is it?”

“haha. Again, I intend to follow the will of my children when it comes to marriage. Because I saw people who failed while following the will of the elders.”

Of course, it was said with the life of Yeon Mu-ryong, a true moon swordsman, in mind.

He thought that if Yeon Mu-ryong had married the woman he loved, he would not have lost his eye. Just like he still only thinks of his dead wife.

“Uh huh. Think again. The marriage of children should be decided by the parents.”

After the failure of the hohyeonghoje, Seonwoodam wanted to be involved with the Namgung family, even if it was a wedding ceremony.

However, the wall of Namgung was immovable.

“Each person has different likes and dislikes, so how can I choose a mate for my children?”

“Uh huh. what’s wrong with marriage It’s enough to sleep under a loose blanket and produce offspring.”

“I didn’t know that senior would think of Yeon-i as a seed.”

At Namgung Byeok’s cold words, Seonwudam slapped me in the mouth.

“Oops! Talking about it every now and then, the words came out in vain. If you think of the 10 wives in the world as seedlings, you’re crazy. I just said it in the sense that marriage isn’t great, so that’s how it is.”

Namgung Byeok also knew Seonwudam’s true intentions, so he didn’t say anything more.

Embarrassed, Seonwu-dam hurriedly changed the subject.

“By the way, it seems that Empress Dowager Ten always hangs out with Yeonjeokha. How are you two?”

“Well, needless to say, they are good brother and sister. Isn’t the enemy’s ancestors my agenda? Since childhood, the relationship between the two has been a bit different.”

“It looks pretty good for something like that. Are you thinking of him as a son-in-law? If so, please tell me in advance. I will tell my son not to dream.”

At Seonwudam’s words, Namgung Byeok glanced back and turned his head.

The sight of Namgoongyeon and Yeonjeokha walking side by side caught my eye.

Suddenly, when I looked at my daughter’s face, it was bright and bright like never before.

It was only when he was with Yeon Jeok-ha that he seemed like a girl his age.

‘Is Yeoni with the enemy?’

Of course, there is no reason to object.

But that is only possible when two people treat each other with the affection of a man and a woman.

In his own eyes, the daughter was treating the enemy like family.

Knowing his unfortunate past, he must feel more compassion and treat him better.

“Senior, I’ve said it over and over again, but I have no intention of arguing about my children’s marriage. I’ve never thought of anyone as a son-in-law. The current Namgung family is not in a situation where they are leisurely interested in such things. Don’t you know?”

When Namgung Byeok changed his face, Seonwudam stopped talking about his children.

Certainly, in the current Namgung family, the love life of children could be considered a luxury.

‘Shit. Still, I’m really greedy for 10 wives…’

In a precarious situation like now, I covet Namgoong-yeon even more.

He let out a long sigh as he looked at Yeon Jeok-ha, who was chattering beside Namgung-yeon.

‘ha! I wonder what kind of guy he is that sticks so close to him that he doesn’t fall off.’

Maybe it’s because it’s Green Island, but I wasn’t conscious of the gaze of others who were dating.

The same goes for Namgung-yeon, who can’t understand.

Since she is the wisest woman in the world, you will know that the relationship between the two looks strange to others. But I don’t know why I don’t keep my distance from him.

‘Terrible. Who is right?’

As Seonwudam shook his head excitedly, a strange looking mountain came into his eyes.

Just in time, Oh Sam, who was giving directions, said.

“Oops! now it looks good sirs The mountain in front of me is Walnut Mountain. Doesn’t it resemble a tiger’s head at first glance? He is handsome.”

Oh Sam pointed to the walnut mountain and trembled.

Namgung Byeok nodded to Namgung Jin, Daeju Cheoksa Sword, who was following him.

Namgung-jin took out three hermits from the bag he was carrying and handed them to Oh-sam.

“thank you. Enough with the small man then.”

Oh-sam, who was hunched over, ran to the road he had come from so that no one would catch him.

When we reached Walnut Mountain, the atmosphere became heavy.

The musketeer did not tell me how many twelve horsemen there were in Walnut Mountain.

I just said ‘some of them have moved’.

Those who experienced the inaction of the Twelve Horses felt a great burden from an unspecified number.

Only In Dae, who had never fought a famous religion, had a calm face.

Namgung Byeok called Namgung Yeon closer.

“You have to What should I do now?”

“You don’t have to go to the tiger’s den to catch a tiger.”

“What do you mean?”

Masters of jujakdae and ligament gathered around Namgung wall and Namgungyeon one by one.

“Do you want your father to live and be reviled? Or do you want to die with honor? That applies to all of you. Do you want to live even if you are cursed at? Or do you want to die clean today?”

In front of Namgoong-yeon’s sudden question, the masters blinked their eyes.

Sapphire ligament masters were the first to answer.

“Of course I have to live!”

Gyeonghonsagun, Daeju of Ingadae, looked around at Suzakdae with bleak eyes.

“Namgoong Sojeo, if possible, let’s go the way of living together. Still, if there is anyone who really wants to die, I will kill them right here.”

“Right!”

“If you want to die, tell me to die alone! We must live!”

“Fuck! Save me!”

The masters of the ligament desperately used a racket.

He was afraid that he would get caught up in the great cause of a political faction and walk into the limb.

Namgung Yeon asked Namgung Byeok again.

“What does your father mean?”

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

The masters of the orthodox faction did not even breathe, knowing that life and death depended on the decision of Daeju.

After thinking for a while, Namgung Byeok asked.

“Are you sure you will die if you follow the path of honor?”

“yes.”

At Namgoong-yeon’s answer without hesitation, people around him said, “Ah!” A sigh came out.

Everyone was in despair because it was the affirmation of the ten warlords without notice.

Moreover, there was no doubt that he was speaking to his father, Namgung Byeok.

“I won’t listen if you say you won’t hit the enemies of Walnut Mountain in order to survive.”

Namgung Byeok, a grand knight, did not want to live so cowardly.

“I will definitely fight the enemy. It just gets us criticized in the process.”

“If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid of being cursed at while fighting the enemy.”

At Namgung Byeok’s decision, the orthodox faction’s masters burst into cheers with ‘Wow!’

It seems that even the masters of the political faction wanted to live for a while.

“Yes, how do you fight and survive while eating swear words?”

At that moment, about 200 masters of the orthodox faction stopped breathing and paid attention to Namgung-yeon’s mouth.

“Please write the Johoi Mountain Range (調虎離山之計)”

Namgung Byeok and Seonu Dam tilted their heads.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a government official relies on a seal and a tiger relies on a mountain.

It means that the power of officials comes from seals, and the power of tigers comes from mountains.

Johoi Sanjigye means ‘to make the tiger leave the mountain’.

It is to fight by dragging the enemy out of advantageous terrain.

However, it was also true that it sounded a little out of the blue in the current situation.

This is because Mt. Hodu is not a place where famous schools or themselves can argue about good or bad.

Seonwudam, who was counting the number of cases, spoke carefully.

“So, people like us who are sharper than us understand it when we explain it more easily.”
