The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 111
〈 111Tue 〉 Chapter 13 Sacheon, Gyeol (2）
* * *
It was late that afternoon..
“The next mission has been assigned..”
Dang Hwa-seo's complexion, which returned to the pavilion, was sunken..
Complexion different from usual fatigue.
The members immediately realized that this mission was different from usual..
However, even though I listened with such nervousness, what followed was shocking..
“We are going to the party gate.”
Startle
Mok Riwon’s fingertips trembled..
The face turned to Danghwaseo with a look of surprise..
she was laughing bitterly.
“The investigation in the Sacheon region is being blocked by the party gate. We have to go to the party gate and get their cooperation..”
There was no one here who did not know the relationship between Tangmun and Tanghwaseo..
So there was something that made me imagine.
That was exactly what Danghwaseo was feeling as he uttered those words..
“soger….”
Mokriwon opened his mouth without realizing it..
However, Danghwaseo did not let him continue speaking..
“We leave immediately in two days. Everyone, get ready. more.”
Danghwaseo left the office..
The members were unable to do this or that, and in the meantime, Mok Ri-won stood up and said:.
“I will chase after you.”
And then I left the office..
*
Danghwaseo was staring blankly at the pond..
It was a place where I once shared a drink alone with Mok Ri-won..
Danghwaseo chewed his lips..
My fist was clenched tighter than ever..
‘No way….’
I ended up going there..
Actually, it was going to happen someday.
This is because Danghwaseo knew the value of his body better than anyone else in Dangmun..
After all, having a body that is invulnerable to all poisons was a long-cherished wish that Tangmun had dreamed of for a long time, and it was a miracle that he could not guarantee if he would be able to achieve it if not now..
Danghwaseo imagined what would happen next..
How can they scare me by calling me there?.
No, I'd rather try to appease.
I couldn't figure it out.
Because it's already been so long since I left there.
But one thing was certain.
‘I won't let you go easily.’
Double the grace, multiply the resentment tenfold.
The party members were the party members who came up with ridiculous family mottos and maintained them at all costs, so they would demand compensation from them..
He was going to tie himself up somehow..
A series of thoughts that make me feel worse the more I think about it..
It was then that Mok Ri-won appeared..
“Sojeo, you were here..”
Danghwaseo raised his head..
Mokriwon was approaching with a jujeonbeak..
Danghwaseo smiled bitterly and said,.
“…Are you here?.”
“Aren't you in the market? Please listen a little bit. The dumplings are amazing.”
Mok Ri-won held out a dumpling and handed it to Dang Hwa-seo..
Warm steam rising as if it had been freshly cooked, Danghwaseo burst out laughing..
“I'm sure you didn't harass him.?”
“I got some of what you wanted for dinner tonight..”
Mok Ri-won said that and took a big bite of the dumpling..
I chewed it and smiled contentedly..
“As expected, it’s delicious. I don't think I'll ever see anyone as good at cooking as my master..”
Mokriwon recruited again..
“Try a bite of Sojeo too! When you have worries, you shouldn't fill your stomach first.?”
“…yes.”
Danghwaseo looked at the dumplings for a moment and then took a small bite..
The thick juice flows out and the inside is chewy along with the blood..
As the warm stuff passed from my mouth to my throat, I couldn't help but laugh..
“…It's delicious.”
“What did I say? I heard it's delicious.”
Mok Riwon giggled..
Then he cast his gaze towards the pond in the distance and suddenly said,.
“You know. What kind of place is Sacheon??”
Danghwaseo’s fingertips trembled..
I pursed my lips for a moment, then cleared my voice and spoke..
“…It's a little chillier than here. It's not too cold, so it's a really nice place to live..”
“What else? I heard that Sacheon has a lot of food..”
“There are a lot. However, I don't know if it will suit the taste of the small cooperative. Sichuan cuisine is usually spicy and spicy..”
“Challenges are always fun.”
A small smile appeared on Mo Riwon’s lips..
“I heard that Sacheon has nice scenery..”
“There's definitely nothing to see..”
“I'm looking forward to it.”
Mokriwon’s gaze turned to Danghwaseo..
“Will you please guide me? I mean Sacheon..”
Danghwaseo looked at Mokriwon sheepishly and then burst into laughter..
“Is it comfort??”
“This is a sincere request. You know. I am a strong, dark, and unsophisticated man who can't go anywhere alone. I need a soger.”
“You have no intention of going it alone.?”
Even though he said it jokingly, Danghwaseo couldn't say it as a joke..
This is because the worst case scenario naturally comes to mind..
‘If I don't come back from there….’
I think I might end up separated from Mokriwon..
At that, Mokriwon spoke outrightly in denial..
“I hate it.”
Mok Riwon smiled brightly..
“I don't want to be separated from Sojeo. The same goes for visiting Sacheon. There are still so many places in Gangho that I haven't been to, and I want to go to all of them with Sojeo. I think it will be fun that way..”
Danghwaseo’s eyes widened slightly..
Mokriwon continued by saying.
“So, don't think anything bad about it..”
“narrow neck….”
“Even if there is someone there who harasses Sojeo, I will let go of honey chestnuts. And I will tell Sojeo to apologize. Sozer doesn't have to worry at all..”
this was comfort.
Danghwaseo knew that..
However, even though I knew it was comforting, there was a reason why I leaned on those words..
‘…I'm sure you really do that..’
Mo Ri-won was a man who kept his words at all costs, so he would not back down even if an opponent who was less powerful stood in his way..
I'm so grateful for that pure kindness, and I'm also sorry..
Danghwaseo smiled bitterly..
“Then what will you do if you get hurt?.”
“I am so immoral that I abandon my close friend because I am worried that my body will be harmed. Soje is such a precious person to me..”
Danghwaseo burst out laughing..
Then I took my eyes off him and looked at the pond..
It was funny that as I laughed like this, my worries disappeared a bit..
Danghwaseo purred his lips and said so..
“Do you know about neck narrowing??”
“What do you mean??”
“Every time Sohyeop says that, I feel unbearable..”
“It's so hard to bear?”
“Many things.”
Why should I say this for no reason?.
Danghwaseo reduced his words there..
One thing, I could tell you for sure.
“…Still, thank you. Because you said that.”
Ever since the day we first met at Gyeonghwaru in Suyang-hyeon.
Mok Ri-won was a person who was grateful to Dang Hwa-seo..
He was a person who reminded me of values I had forgotten and strengthened my courage, so it would not be enough to say thank you a million times..
Danghwaseo looked at the sky.
The sun was setting and the thin clouds were flowing in a reddish color..
‘Okay, what's the point of worrying?.’
With a small smile, Danghwaseo reflected..
Even if there is a threat, you should not be scared and retreat..
I learned that courage from those around me..
“…Will it wake up soon? I enjoyed the dumplings.”
“cancer! Then we'll see tomorrow.!”
“yes.”
Danghwaseo laughed as he watched Mokriwon get up from his seat and run straight to the restaurant..
I still felt anxious, but fortunately I felt a little more at ease..
*
The next day, Yongbongdan finished preparing and left..
The journey from Hubei to Sichuan was not short, and there were several incidents along the way..
In the meantime, Danghwaseo was able to feel once again how hard they were working for him..
“Sozer! Look over there! There are extremes.!”
Whenever I stop by a passing village, Mokriwon takes me there to see what to see..
“Lord Tang, when you feel dizzy, it is a good idea to recite Buddhist sutras. Would you like to join us??”
Il-woon pays attention to Hye-woon by making recommendations that are not suitable for her..
“Sister, I take care of you secretly because you are my sister..”
Zhuge Shan secretly handed me a poison I don't know where he got it from..
“The head of the Soga family must not be looked down upon by any member of the family. straighten your back.”
Namgung Jincheon suddenly gave such advice..
Danghwaseo was able to laugh.
I was able to get away from my worries because there were people who sympathized with me and were not ashamed of my awkward kindness..
So, by the time we reached Sacheon, I no longer had to worry about Danghwaseo..
“It's here. land of Tangmun.”
Danghwaseo said while looking at the large city.
A city where the entire region is the territory of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty.
Cities in their sphere of influence even nearby.
It was a city that once bound me, and now it has become a painful memory..
Danghwaseo felt a variety of emotions swirling around him..
It was like that.
“miss!”
A person dressed as a civil servant rushed out from the entrance of the city..
Tang Hwa-seo looked at her in great surprise..
“Hyangah!”
Sohyang.
She was one of the Sujok who ran away with her when she left Tangmun, and she was the one who parted ways on the day she headed to the Murim Alliance..
How does she exist?.
On the day we broke up, I must have asked her to secretly find out the atmosphere at the gate, but now that she was there, it was a question that came to mind..
“How have you been? There are no injuries.?”
Sohyang greeted Danghwaseo with a mixture of worry and joy..
Danghwaseo asked.
“How come you are here? huh?”
“I heard that you are returning here. So, I recently returned to the party gate and asked to make room for him..”
“Doing such a dangerous thing!”
“The lady is coming soon, what can you do with me? If anything goes wrong, you can just run away again..”
Sohyang smiled..
Even though Dang Hwa-seo felt reassured by her bright-looking complexion, she couldn't help but feel worried..
Meanwhile, Mokriwon came forward..
“It's been a while!”
The figure appearing from behind Danghwaseo to say hello was bright..
Well, since it was our first reunion since leaving Suyang County, it was understandable that Mok Ri-won, who likes people, was happy to see us..
“Ah yes.”
Sohyang frowned and answered as if she was not pleased..
Danghwaseo chuckled..
That's why what Sohyang said before leaving came to mind..
Lady, that man is not trustworthy at all. Will I hurt the girl?….
Even the moment he left, he was suspicious of Mok Riwon, who looked confused..
Even though Iri Mok-ri-won gained obscurity, So-hyang still did not seem satisfied..
“So, did the party gate send you? welcome me?”
“yes.”
“How is the party now?.”
“It's not fully understood yet. Since I was in the position of running away with the young lady, I'm making her do some chores..”
I won't give you any information.
Danghwaseo smiled slightly..
‘It's still the same.’
Not being able to trust people or trying to hide your true feelings.
‘then.’
He must have been thinking of stabbing me in the back as expected..
Danghwaseo’s expression hardened..
And he looked at the members and said.
“Then let’s go now..”
The members nodded with stern faces..
‘Now that I'm sober, they won't be able to treat me carelessly..’
Danghwaseo was sure of that..
‘So, you should go in with the mindset that you are just going to run errands..’
“Hyang, please guide me..”
“yes.”
In this way, Danghwaseo returned to his hometown that existed only in his memories..
“Meet Lord Soga.”
At the entrance of the temple gate, he met the person who greeted him..
“…Dang Mugyeong.”
The one who greeted her was her half-brother, Tang Moo-gyeong..
I met at the Yongbong branch..
