The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 95
〈 95Tue 〉 Twelve missions, investigation (2）
* * *
The journey to Guizhou was not short..
The journey from Hubei to the south takes about 15 days by carriage..
It was quite a boring journey, and for some, it was a heartbreaking journey..
What should I say, it was Danghwaseo.
Danghwaseo looked ahead with a very nervous face..
‘You finally came.’
I can see the Gwiju city wall ahead..
When you go inside, it's a mess with black thugs running wild... It may not be that bad, but you will see a fairly chaotic city..
And there will be Hao Moon's nymphos waiting for every opportunity..
Wow
Danghwaseo’s fist was clenched..
The eyes burned with a shining light.
At first glance, there was a resolute determination to never hand over Mok-ri-won, but from Mok-ri-won's point of view, who did not know what that meant, it was like that..
“Je, Jegal hyung. Why is Soje doing that? It's so scary….”
“If you find out, you'll get hurt..”
Zhuge Mountain ignored Mu Liyuan..
Mok Ri-won was restless and took a peek at the Danghwa Book..
Meanwhile.
“narrow neck.”
“yes!”
“stick here.”
Danghwaseo gestured and Mokriwon stood next to her..
Then Danghwaseo held Mokriwon’s hand tightly..
“soger…?”
“Do you know? You must never let go of this hand. Even if someone tells you to come here, or even if you scream for help for a moment, hold on tight..”
“Ha, but you can't turn away someone who needs help.….”
“If you really need help, I'll help..”
Danghwaseo’s eyes were quite violent..
It was a warning that the courtesans would use tricks, and for Mokriwon, it was just a scary word..
“Oh, I understand.…!”
Only then did Danghwaseo smile with satisfaction..
There is a lot of strength in our joined hands.
Danghwaseo looked at my hand hesitantly..
Hands much longer and thicker than mine.
There were hands there that were a little rough but full of warm energy..
‘Come to think of it….’
I didn't think of it because of my wariness toward nympho, but when I think about it, it's like walking hand in hand with Mokriwon..
If you look at it through someone else's eyes, they will look like lovers..
‘…fairly.’
What came out was a cough..
“Big, big….”
Danghwaseo’s cheeks turned red..
The insidious intentions that deepened day by day began to enjoy a belated joy..
‘Hwaseo, you came up with a really good move..’
As Tang Hwa-seo's face cleared, Zhuge-san and Hye-un kept their mouths shut..
They both thought at the same time.
‘There's a nympho over there.’
There is a nympho here who is targeting Mokriwon..

The inspection passed quickly..
The speed is so fast that it is completely different from the previous trip to Seomseo..
Of course, this time it was a phenomenon that occurred while moving without revealing its identity..
Baekdo Murim League Yongbongdan.
The value of the name could not be said to be low, even as a joke..
It was the same even if this was Gwiju, the land of the dark island..
Aside from everything else, Yongbongdan could be clearly identified just by the bright blue eyes of Namgung Jincheon, so the search did not require much effort..
What greeted them inside Guizhou Castle when they finally entered was the gaze that was so intense that it made their skin tingle..
“…It seems like it's getting more attention than I thought..”
“Yes, I guess it is the land of the dark island..”
The people looking at me now were not black people..
Although they were just civilians, it was obvious that the late political faction leaders who came to the land of the Black Island were an unfamiliar spectacle to them..
What I feel in my gaze is a dark border and a faint curiosity..
Danghwaseo checked his gaze once and opened his mouth..
“Then let's move. The manor has been arranged in advance..”
I walked the streets of Guizhou Province.
It is a short walk to the manor..
It was already an enemy territory, and Danghwaseo, which had not only enemies but also nymphos to worry about, had become so sensitive that it secretly leaked energy..
It was thanks to that sensitivity that I discovered the abnormality..
Danghwaseo’s brow furrowed..
‘There are so many unmanned people?’
It was strange.
I traveled all the way to Gwiju Iljin, the infamous black island, and never saw a single unmanned person..
Are you hiding your spirit?.
Or is he hiding and watching from somewhere?.
‘…no.’
both are wrong.
There was a reason for my confidence.
That's right, if all the black swordsmen were experts enough to deceive their own senses, wouldn't the white sword martial arts have been ruined long ago?.
In the end, all I got as I walked down the street was wonder..
Danghwaseo arrived at the manor, locked the door, and spoke to the members..
“Did you feel it??”
“What do you mean??”
“There was not a single unmanned person..”
Startle
The members’ bodies trembled..
Only then did they realize what was strange..
“Come to think of it….”
I didn't even think about it because I was so tense with the thought of having to be on guard against the dark island..
It is not fortunate that we did not encounter a black sword on the way, but rather a strange thing..
“…What do you think is the situation??”
Zhuge Shan was the first to answer Danghwaseo's question..
“You probably didn't hide it on purpose? They only use civilians who did not learn martial arts under their command..”
“It makes sense. Other opinions?”
There was no answer right away.
This is because all of the members thought that Zhuge Shan's words were the most plausible..
I hope there will be silence for a while.
It was Mokriwon that broke the silence..
“…Haomun.”
“hmm?”
“Haomundo people. I think it could be them.”
It was an idea I could do because I had heard about Hao Mun from Goat So before leaving..
“Haomun does not necessarily accept only martial people as his master. I heard that street gangsters, street workers, courtesans, and Jeomsoy are also treated as mundos. So, I mean….”
Mo Riwon swallowed his words..
There was a gloomy look on his face..
“Some of the people we met on our way here were….”
No, someone wasn't enough.
“We must also consider the possibility that they are all Hao Wen's disciples..”
The members became rigid..
“That means….”
“Our actions may all be revealed. Beyond the scope of what I'm trying to reveal.”
Normally, I would have joked that the subject of Mokriwon was quite sharp..
But that wasn't possible now..
Although Yongbongdan was a famous late-season exponent, in the end, they were newcomers with a strong start..
They began to feel confused by the unexpected situation..
“Isn't it dangerous? If the black sword is in collusion with the demon….”
It was terrible.
This is a situation where you never know when a knife may come to your throat..
Unlike the Shaanxi period, here there was not even a branch of the Maeng Dynasty to ask for help in times of emergency..
Zhuge Shan shuddered at the thoughts that came to his mind..
What he said next was Ilun.
“Shouldn’t we at least set up a camp around the manor??”
These were the words addressed to Zhuge Shan..
Zhuge Shan nodded..
Certainly, if it were a true method, it would be the minimum defense measure..
He also knew a few strategies that could confuse intruders..
“I'm going to go lay the groundwork first. Monk Ilun, please help me..”
“Yes, then, Mr. I'll be back.”
“I'll go too.”
Right after Hye-un went out to help Jegal-san and Il-un..
Namgung Jincheon said.
“I don’t think anything can be solved by sitting still..”
Namgung Jincheon said that and stood up..
Danghwaseo asked.
“where are you going?”
“Let's become bait. I'm going to go out and have a look..”
“It is not allowed. It's too dangerous when you know nothing..”
“Then let's take Mukryong. Unless the ultimate demon appears, won't it be possible to escape?.”
It made sense..
However, this time Danghwaseo hesitated for a slightly different reason..
‘Those two?’
Mokriwon and Namgung Jincheon.
They were the representatives of Yongbongdan's mental age, and they were idiots who showed below-average abilities in all aspects except martial arts..
If it was bait, it would be good..
It was so shabby that I didn't even know it would attract a conman on the street..
So, in short, it was not trustworthy..
Danghwaseo narrowed his eyes and said.
“disallowance.”
“Then what should I do??”
Danghwaseo groaned and worried..
Certainly, as Namgung Jincheon said, being defensive without knowing anything was the wrong thing to do..
It was obvious that if I couldn't find out something in broad daylight, I would be anxious all night and not be able to get proper rest..
Danghwaseo quickly made a decision..
“…The three of us will go together, including me..”
If you leave the work to just these idiots, you never know what kind of accident might happen..
If you think about it together, it was like that..
‘Haomun.’
If they were really the cause of all this, it was dangerous..
The purity of Mokriwon.
Danghwaseo’s eyes shone as coldly as frost..
*
The main street was so lively that you wouldn't think it was a land of darkness..
After all, if even the main streets where merchants and residents live were all filled with gloom, no one would want to remain in this land, so it is only natural..
Dang Hwa-seo, Mok Ri-won, and Namgung Jincheon acted calm, hiding their nervousness as much as possible..
And so I listened to the sounds around me..
What I mainly hear is the words of people living their lives.
What came in sporadically was a whisper directed at them..
“They over there….”
“What happened to the members of the Murim League?….”
“Uh-huh, let's pass by without noticing. Nothing good will come of being involved for no reason..”
They were whispers, nothing special..
One thing you shouldn't relax your mind about.
Danghwaseo pretended to look around at the surrounding street stalls, as if he were out to buy food ingredients..
The more I did this, the more doubtful I became..
‘After all, there are no unmanned people..’
Third-rate martial artists who could at least imitate martial arts were caught if their sense of spirit was sharpened..
However, that level is something that even ordinary people can easily reach..
It was absurd to be a military officer belonging to somewhere..
‘Haomun?’
I thought about that possibility, but I wasn't sure..
Anxiety welling up inside.
And the many families that continue.
Danghwaseo's frown narrowed a little at that..
“iced coffee….”
A woman's sigh was heard from somewhere..
Danghwaseo jerked his head and looked at that place..
And I opened my eyes wide.
“Hey, look over there. really….”
“delicious… You are a handsome Confucius.….”
Two courtesans were whispering with their faces red..
Looking at Mokriwon.
“her….”
Danghwaseo let out a laugh as if he was shocked..
I guess he can't even see himself holding hands with Mok Riwon right now, he's talking so loudly..
‘There you are. Hao Moon's Slut.’
Dang Hwa-seo's wide-open eyes looked straight at the courtesans, and soon the courtesans made eye contact with Dang Hwa-seo..
“Hehehe!”
I am startled and let out a loud noise..
The courtesans then quietly disappeared into the back of the alley while watching Danghwaseo's notice..
‘chase?’
no.
For a moment, my head got hot and I dismissed it as Hao Wen's slut, but I wasn't sure yet..
In the first place, it was an assumption that the people here might be Hao Mun..
If you hastily chase them down and interrogate them, you will only be increasing the vigilance of the black thieves who are somewhere out there..
Danghwaseo gritted his teeth and got angry..
‘Hwaseo, you came out to be bait..’
I kept repeating this to myself..
The head jerked forward..
Seeing his feverish expression, Mok Ri-won, who was holding his hand right next to him, kept his mouth shut..
‘It looks like Sojeo is very nervous.!’
I seem to have become nervous at the thought that I might be among enemies..
So, you shouldn't take the attitude of doing a cursory investigation..
…Mokriwon ignited his enthusiasm for the mission..
Shaking off the feeling that was building up inside me, ‘Sojeo is scary today.’.
