The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 27
〈 27Tue 〉President Anhui (8）

“Then I'll ask you a favor..”
I went over to the wall where Zhuge Mountain left those words..
The elder, who had been standing blankly, finally came to his senses and made a face like a murderer..
“Come on, chase after me! Go and get it….”
“No way.”
Stop.
Those who tried to move their bodies stopped.
Mok Ri-won smiled brightly and continued:.
“You can't chase them. Because I am here.”
It was a chilling notice..
Even though the words did not contain a single ounce of wisdom, those present felt an undeniable pressure from them..
The elder said, feeling rotten inside at having missed his goal so close to his nose..
“Do you know what you're doing?…!”
“I don't know.”
“Then fall out….”
“but.”
Mok Riwon took that clue and looked around..
And then he said.
“I do not consider those who judge people based on their origins to be righteous. Those who follow that command are not considered righteous. Also, I do not consider him righteous who persecutes a mourning woman..”
As the conversation continued, Mok Riwon’s prayer became sharper..
“For that reason, I consider you evil..”
The elder gritted his teeth and trembled convulsively at the next words..
A situation that just doesn't work out the way I wanted it to..
And the intruder who appeared before my eyes.
All of this mixed with the anger that rose inside the elder and began to turn into a very plausible guess..
Of course, it was a reasonable guess even by my own standards..
“dog sound! What is righteousness! You were part of the gang too! No, it's probably one of them! Didn't you know that I was a bastard at the top who would rip and kill you?!!!”
What was contained in the cries that went as far as pointing fingers was the most base self-justification..
Mok Riwon narrowed his eyebrows..
“Top?”
“Don't pretend not to know! That damned bitch, that bastard, and you too! Aren’t they all foot wipes for the ‘top of the world’?!!!”
“what is that….”
“Gaaaaal!”
The elder’s cheeks trembled..
Mo Riwon could read hatred in his distorted expression..
‘Top of the world.’
It was a top that even Mokriwon knew..
Anyway, I couldn't have known that this was the place where all the horses were swept away from the stable in the village right in front of Janhyeolgok..
Already twice since leaving Kangho.
As he became entangled in a series of bad incidents, a sense of aversion towards the top began to arise in Mokriwon..
“Tear and kill this top bastard. How much more do you need to feel refreshed? huh? How much more greed do you have to be to be satisfied?!”
“I don't belong there….”
Mok Riwon stopped what he was saying..
‘…No, there is no reason to reveal your identity..’
Mok Riwon was not a fool..
You know very well that there is no reason to explain if the other person misunderstands..
“…Think for yourself..”
At his words, the elder chuckled with joy on his face..
“also! It was like that too! This was all a conspiracy by those at the top.!”
It was a smile that at first glance seemed like that of a madman..
“Hit it ahhh!”
When the elder shouted loudly, soldiers came out..
Mo Liwon let out a small breath and raised the power of his Danjeon..
Wow!!
Mo Ri-won thought as he struck down the three swordsmen attacking from three directions at once, then escaped from the surrounded position and collapsed the flank of the line..
‘There's no need to draw your sword.’
Weak warriors who are even afraid to survive.
A convulsing toad that can only be thought of as a senile old man..
To Mok Ri-won, these were small people who could not even be called evil..

Zhuge Shan ran for a long time with the woman on his back..
His steps no longer contained energy, and his breathing had become disordered a long time ago, but he never stopped..
Wasn’t this an opportunity that Mokriwon created by digging into the many warriors?.
There was no time to relax, such as looking back feeling anxious or resting for a while..
The scenery has changed.
From Jangjiajang to a street, from a street to another street.
So to the most shabby corner of the city.
Zhuge Shan barely stopped walking when he arrived at a rough street made of roughly planks..
“…Arrival is awesome.”
“….”
The woman bit her lip and looked at the street..
It was a dark alley, but it was still my hometown..
Born and raised, and has one and only family..
It was amazing.
Even though I don't have any good memories of this place, facing it like this brings back a strange feeling that should be called comfort..
“persimmon… buy….”
Only then did the woman realize.
The gaze that was colder than the biting cold no longer exists..
That the crushing loneliness of having no one by your side no longer exists..
Even though it may not be as dazzling as it is, he feels that he has returned to a place where warmth remains..
“Gam, Sahab….”
“It's still too early to be thankful.”
Zhugeshan smiled, pretending not to notice the tears falling down the back of his neck..
“Now, let's go. My brother is not waiting for me.”
After saying that, he slowly dropped the woman off..
The woman stumbled for a moment to regain her balance, then leaned on the arm offered by Zhugeshan and slowly walked away..
*
“sister!”
“changga!”
Brother and sister hugged each other.
The youthful young man whom the woman called Chang was astonished as soon as he saw her and hugged her..
When the woman saw the young man running towards her, she could no longer hold back her tears and hugged him with a bright red face..
“No, sister. How did we get here… Ah, Daehyeop!”
“It's only been three days?”
“The fact that Daehyup is here means….”
“I went to Janggajang. She went to see her sister as asked, but she didn't seem to be doing well, so she made a fuss..”
The young man's eyes got bigger..
He looked at Zhuge Shan and his sister in turns, and only later did he realize what Zhuge Shan meant and sighed..
Then I hugged my sister even tighter..
“…Sister, you worked hard..”
“Hmm….”
“Thank you also to the Daehyup….”
“It's done. It's just something I did because I felt like it. Rather, please do something about your sister. If you keep going like that, the snow will start to blow tomorrow..”
Zhuge Shan said jokingly.
The young man belatedly laughed and nodded at those words..
“Sleep well, sister. Hurry up and stop. Even Daehyeop told me to stop crying..”
“Hmm….”
The woman could hardly stop crying..
She continued to cry as if she was trying to pour out all the anger she had been holding in since she still had a lot of longing to pour out..
The woman stopped crying after the young man's clothes became dirty with her tears and snot..
*
Inside the shack that looks like it will collapse if you hit the wall with your fist.
Zhuge Shan sat in the middle and looked at the siblings sitting side by side..
“Looking at you like this, you look exactly like me. Anyone can say they are brother and sister..”
The young man laughed at his words, and the woman lowered her head..
It was only later that he realized his indecency..
“Sorry for looking ugly….”
“Why are you sorry again? Isn't it a good day?.”
The woman chuckled..
‘Good day….’
It was because I thought there was no better way to express this moment than that..
It's okay, isn't it?.
What truly makes a person happy is not a luxurious table or expensive treasures, but a warm family that stays by their side..
“What will you do now??”
In response to Zhuge Shan's question, the woman smiled slightly and placed her hand under her stomach..
“We will leave here before daybreak. I want to go somewhere other than Anhui and build a new foundation..”
The young man's eyes widened as he saw the woman stroking her stomach..
The woman also noticed that look and smiled..
“Chang-ah, you will become my uncle..”
“this….”
“Let's go together. Now, I can really live well without starving..”
“…Sister, but what shall we do? I learned nothing.”
“How about a dry goods store?.”
“yes?”
“A dry goods store. I've learned how to see silk through my time there, so don't worry..”
Zhuge Shan just looked at the young man who didn't know what to do and the woman who was finally smiling brightly..
And then I smiled a little.
‘also….’
she was a beauty.
Your smile is much more beautiful.
“I'll go now.”
Zhuge Shan stood up..
The siblings tried to stand up and follow him to play, but Zhuge Shan waved his hand and stopped them..
“I'm done, so please just report it. It's so nice to see siblings together..”
“one….”
“Even if it’s okay.”
As Zhuge Shan giggled, the woman bit her lip..
Then, as if there was nothing he could do, he smiled and said.
“thank you.”
“Those words are starting to stick to my ears..”
“However, thank you anyway.”
“That's it….”
“…Hongseon.”
The movement of Zhuge Mountain stopped at Hongseon’s words..
Hongseon finally saw Jegalsan looking directly at him and continued speaking with a bright smile..
“My name is Hongseon. His younger brother's name is Hong Chang. Could you please remember our names??”
Hongseon.
Hongchang.
Zhuge Shan engraved the names in his heart..
However, as before, he would bury this name deep in his heart and not bring it out..
He had no time to stop and remember those he had saved in the past..
I'll just bury it and move on..
he was that kind of person.
“What a cool name. I'll make sure to remember.”
Zhuge Mountain turned his back.
The brother and sister asked for the last time, feeling regretful at that sight..
“Do you really not need anything in return??”
The siblings realized that what had come to them was a fortune that no one would ever experience in their lives..
So I asked to repay him in some way, but Zhuge Mountain was stubborn as expected..
No, just this time, he added wit to his stubbornness..
“If you do it.”
Zhuge Shan just turned his head and looked at the siblings..
Then he smiled and said.
“Be a good mother. I think that would be fine..”
With those words, Zhuge Shan left the street..
*
dawn has dawned.
It was dawn when a brother and sister escaped from the city under cover of darkness, and it was dawn when tears clung to the eyes of two men who brought a smile to the lips of a grieving woman..
“You did a great job?”
Inside a guest house that has just started business.
The two men kneeling on the floor bowed their heads deeply at the cold voice of Danghwaseo..
Mo Liwon's cheeks were stained red from a pinched scar, and there was a bulging lump on the top of Zhugeshan's head..
“Are you even dumb? why can't you speak?”
Dang Hwa-seo sat cross-legged on a chair, tiptoed and hugged the two men..
Then, Mokriwon quietly expressed his opinion..
“I came here with my tongue and my face….”
“Do you call lying a lie??”
Mok Riwon’s mouth was tightly shut..
Indeed, it was so..
Today, she went to her room to sleep early and escaped secretly, so Mo Ri-won has nothing to say to her even if she has ten mouths..
It was such a pity for the two men that there were no eternal secrets in the world..
“You guys are amazing. Do you know what's going on outside this early in the morning? Oh my god, there was a strange man in the head of the house. What does it mean that Zhangjiajang's warriors and elders are suffering after being beaten by a gunman?.”
chuck!
Danghwaseo pointed outside the guesthouse with his index finger..
“There are checks at the entrances and exits of the city. Zhangjiajang's military officers were making a fuss, saying they were going to find the assailants. Everyone with splints on their bodies..”
The two men's bodies trembled..
Danghwaseo sighed, feeling the back of his neck tighten at that sight..
“…Well, I know it won't be a bad thing since it was done by Mok Sohyeop. But if you're going to do something, you should have thought about cleaning things up afterward..”
“sorry….”
“If you're going to apologize, just shut up..”
“….”
Danghwaseo placed his hand on his forehead, which was slowly starting to tingle..
‘rotten inspection.’
It was difficult.
Jangjiajang was the largest manor in the city, and as such, his influence on the city was enormous..
Since he and Zhuge San are there, he may be able to break through the inspection in the name of the Se family, but thinking about the conflict during the process and the subsequent settlement is already turning his stomach..
“Hmm… I can't die in my name.”
Mo Li-won just bowed her head deeply as she muttered something bordering on lament, and Zhuge-san secretly glanced at her..
Then I opened my mouth.
“that… sister?”
“If you're talking nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off this time..”
“…It's not bullshit, I just have a good idea..”
Danghwaseo's eyes turned towards Zhuge Mountain..
As he stood there with his bloodshot feet glaring at me, there was a look in his eyes that looked like he was about to kill someone at any moment..
Zhugeshan swallowed dry saliva and became more nervous..
‘If you do it wrong, you really die..’
I might have been poisoned and died in the most painful way in the world..
So, I had to make good use of this one-time opportunity and save my life..
For a moment, Mo Ri-won and Zhuge-san's gaze collided..
Mo Ri-won looked at Zhuge-san with an expectant face, and Zhuge-san nodded as if telling him to trust me, then turned his head and said to Dang Hwa-seo..
“How about escaping with a disguise, a disguise??”
Danghwaseo’s right eyebrow lifted up..
