The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 256

As a painter adds ink to a painting, the clouds change from gray to black and grow in size to eat up the blue light.

Curleung.

The flash war, which quickly wandered through the clouds and created thunder, dyed the world in bright light at one point and then disappeared repeatedly.

Shoot Aaaaaa!

The dark cloud could no longer hold its weight, so the water it spat out became as thick as a finger and poured down terribly.

The rain moistened the dry land in an instant and made the air moist.

A manor in a mountain village in Shanxi Province.

Rain was pouring through the open window, but the old man sitting in the room didn’t seem to care.

Squeak.

A man with a cold impression, as if familiar with the tea ceremony, pours out clear tea and politely holds it out in front of him.

By the time the rising steam scattered around and disappeared, the old man smiled faintly as he watched the terrifyingly pouring rain outside the window.

“It’s not even the rainy season, but it’s raining excessively.”

“yes. It seems to be the first time it has rained this much in recent years.”

“Um…”

The old man nodded at the man’s words and let out a small sigh.

“Sang Gwan-pyeong held hands with the Sogung-ju?”

“yes.”

“Hmm.”

The old man closes his eyes, sweeping the hair dye that has come down to the neck.

The old man’s name was the head of Sanggye, who controlled Song Yeo-bang’s Shanseo commercial district, and a person with the status of Ilgungju.

And the one who sat politely next to him while pouring tea was Liu Hong, the messenger and escort of Song Yufang.

“Certainly, it was unexpected that the lord of the palace died.”

“…”

“Thanks to that, even the forces of the Three Palaces, who infiltrated the Political Alliance, were blown away.”

“She was a greedy woman.”

“know. She was also a great woman.”

“…”

“Even as a small archer, I would have had no choice but to hold Sang Sang-pyeong’s hand. He is still too weak.”

Song Yeobang smiled and brought the teacup to her mouth.

“By the way, Sang-Sang-Ping’s behavior is a little surprising.”

“How is that?”

“The correlation is… not after. Everyone will have an idea.”

“…”

Song Yeo-bang turns her head out the window again.

“It doesn’t look like it will stop easily.”

“yes. The momentum is fierce.”

“What about Buncheon?”

“It’s almost finished. It is not an exaggeration to say that the nature of Sapaecheon is now in the hands of the imperial palace.”

“Right. You can’t even dream of Yu Yue-cheong.”

“yes.”

At Liu Hong’s words, Song Yufang nodded in satisfaction.

“I have one more thing to report.”

“…?”

“Recently, it was said that the subordinates of the Green Forest, Water, and Yagum Party, which Yuwolcheong shared real power with, were attacked by mysterious people.”

“Hoo? Is it a coffin subjugation?”

“no. From what we found out, it’s a little unusual.”

“Unusual? Please tell me in detail.”

Song Yeo-bang turns around and looks at Liu Hong with an expression of interest.

“yes. According to the bandits, the assailant called himself a bandit, and according to the bandits, he was called Habaek.”

“Habaek? Are you referring to the god of the river in that folk tale?”

“yes.”

Song Yeo-bang continues with a strange smile.

“What kind of guy did you say attacked the Metallurgical Party?”

“…The pleural fluid has not been identified.”

“You mean there are no traces?”

“yes.”

At those words, Song Yeo-bang’s eyes slightly twisted.

There should be no information he doesn’t know in the current Sapaecheon area.

“Is it Cheonungbang?”

“I am not sure.”

“Hmm…”

Song Yeofang stopped talking for a moment and closed his eyes, while Liu Hong waited quietly.

Cheonungbang Sapaecheon’s rebel faction. From some point on, their movements cannot be captured.

That means someone is intentionally obscuring information. Moreover, if it was enough to avoid even Liu Hong’s eyes.

“What is the route of the attack by Shaanxi’s Sapaecheon forces?”

“I passed Jajang on the coast of Gamcheon in Buhyeon and passed the vicinity of Heunghyeon in Shanseo Province.”

“Are you going north?”

“yes.”

“Hmm.”

When Song Yeo-bang closed and opened his eyes, a different smile appeared on his face.

“The Cheonwoong Ark is quite good.”

“…”

“Haomun. You captured them.”

“yes? No way… they have never moved.”

“It will be. I didn’t reveal it on purpose. The probability that Haomen was captured by Chen Woong’s room is more than 100. No, I guess I should be sure.”

Yu Hong’s brow furrowed at his words. If Hao-wen gets attached to Cheon-woong’s room, it will be quite difficult.

This is because the balance of power does not come only from the size of the force.

This is because the victory or defeat could be overturned depending on Hao Mun’s efforts, who have the information.

“The iron sword of Cheonungbang was attacked by Haomen, and Shaanxi’s Sipaecheon was attacked. And what if the raid route leads north?”

Liu Hong opened his eyes and shouted at the words of Song Yufang, who stared at a place in the air and muttered.

“Do you really think they are trying to kill you?”

“I’m sure.”

“that!”

It doesn’t matter when they are separated, but when they come together, it becomes difficult.

Three of the Sapaeo kings were already united. If you stick to it, the public opinion of Sapa people will move, and with a high probability, forces will be concentrated in the direction of Cheonungbang.

It is not that the balance is broken, but that the collapse of Sapaecheon is in progress.

That was not what the royal family wanted.

It didn’t matter who won, but the victors had to come out of their hands.

Liu Hong’s eyes were stained with anxiety, but Song Yeo-fang’s face was calm.

“Hmm, it can’t be that the plan was made by Duke Won or Woo-myeong Chun… I see. It seems that Cheon Woong-bang recruited a rather interesting bookkeeper. If you do well, Sapaecheon’s owner might change.”

“yes?”

Liu Hong expressed his doubts, but Song Yeo-fang muttered something to himself for a while before opening his mouth to Liu Hong.

“Yoo-goong.”

“yes.”

“I need to deal with the flesh.”

Liu Hong looked at his face as he calmly made his decision with slightly widened eyes, and realized what the princess was thinking.

It is also a concern that Haomun is attached, but if it is attached to the skin, you will not be able to control Cheonungbang.

“I will immediately deliver it to the demon army adult.”

“…One demon is not enough. The mad sword is also together.”

“Are you sending him as well?”

Yu Hong shook his head.

demon and luminosity.

They are the strongest masters possessed by Ilgung. Compared to the masters of the river in the midfield, there is no shortage.

“Yoo-goong.”

“…”

“It’s not someone else, it’s a small wall. she’s tricky And must be killed.”

Liu Hong thought for a moment and nodded.

Night flowers small wall.

The meaning of the name is very great.

A woman who leads the most secretive and fearsome organization in Jungwon. She is the owner of Salmak, another member of Sapaeo King, and the Empress of the Night who continues the pulse of Jungwon Salmak.

“…All right. I will tell you that.”

“And send a secret message to Cheonungbang. Let’s meet again.”

“You mean already?”

“There is no need to delay. Since they gathered their forces so quickly, shouldn’t they use their hands before they grow bigger? If it gets too big, it will leave your hands.”

“All right. I will send a message at once.”

“And contact Amyeongdae, who is infiltrating Sapaecheon’s main body. Sapaecheon’s main force should not move until we contact Cheonungbang.”

“yes.”

Liu Hong lowered his head and tried to step back, but hesitated. I haven’t heard an answer to one thing yet.

“What about the attacker who attacked the metallurgical party greening sink? There is a problem with the supply of children to be sent to the palace…”

At Liu Hong’s words, Song Yeo-fang looked at the teacup and smiled with an expression that didn’t matter.

“It is Yuwolcheong that the fire fell on my feet, so I will make up for the lack of numbers on my own. And if the attackers are on the side of Cheonungbang, they will definitely try to contact Salmak, so tell Ma-gun to deal with it.”

“yes!”

“Stop going away. I must enjoy the rain after all.”

“yes.”

Upon Song Yufang’s order to celebrate guests, Liu Hong did not ask any further questions and withdrew.

Squeak.

The empty teacup is refilled.

“Habaek among bandits… It seems that Cheonwoongbang’s new tactician is quite young. Well, the less experienced you are, the better it is for us.”

Looking at the seaweed rising, Song Yeo-bang smiles.

* * *

Food is good.

While I was eating, a Jeon Seo-gu flew in.

A place name was written on the note handed out by Hwangshin.

Dadongru (多同樓) in Hegok, the northernmost part of Shanxi.

“…!”

The news you’ve been waiting for has arrived.

Haowen finally found the location of the tent.

“The emperor.”

“…?”

“Put a message on Haomen. Retrieve the treasures of the sink. And find a good ship. If it is a river valley, it will be faster to go by boat.”

At Jinmu’s words, Hwangshin looks at the surroundings with a distorted expression.

The place where they were located was by the river.

The central riverside of the huge watercourse of the Yellow River that separates Shanxi and Shaanxi.

And now, there were so many things floating on the river that flowed beside the place where they were eating.

Broken pieces of wood, boats large and small sinking upside down and sinking into the water, people wearing fish clothing floating around, losing their minds… That’s

right.

A few hours ago, they came to Wuhwangchae, one of the sinks in the Yellow River.

With two previous precedents, the bandits were fully prepared, but was Jinmu an ordinary monster?

Like the previous attack on the sink, the pirates who laughed at Jinmu’s warning to surrender, who called himself ‘Habaek’, were beaten to the point of pity.

It would have been nice if he had just been beaten. Saying that they would not let them escape, they smashed all the boats called boats.

So what are you doing now? You want me to find a ship that’s in good shape?

Are you insane?

swish swish!

Hwangshin frantically pointed his finger at the sinking ships, asking to take a look at that.

“Oh, did I break everything? Hmm then what do I do? We can’t wait until Haomen returns to retrieve Wu Huangchae’s wealth.”

Still, Hwang-sin, thinking that he is fortunate to meet the owner who can admit his mistakes, sweeps his heart.

“What can I do? There’s no way the outnumbered guys keep horses, so I have no choice but to run, even if it takes a little time.”

Of course it should.

But the next moment, a bloody word pierces Hwangshin’s ear.

“If Hwangshin just goes, it will be boring, so shall we go while practicing stealth with Gyeonggong this time? what? good? okay. Training is always fun, Cancer. Well then, I’ll count to ten, so run well to the valley. got it?”

“….”

Jinmu smiled single and even winked at his eyes.

Paha!

Hwangshin hurriedly searched the surroundings with lightning-like movements, cut down a tree that was two arms tall, cut it in half lengthwise, and began digging out the inside like mad with his bare hands.

The Heavenly Lord whom I respect (?) even creates a place to rest…
