Chapter 11: My hometown)
Chapter 11: My hometown)
Two days later, Ji Mu-ryang was standing there with a frown on his face..
“Please take care of me in the future. Call it Daehyup, not Gokju..”
As a result, all 45 deserters, including Ga Mu-ryang, came under Ju Seo-cheon..
We gave it a day, and the discussion could only come to one conclusion..
Even if you try to resist, you can't, and as long as Gokju has control, if you refuse the offer, you will have to live here for the rest of your life..
They all had a lot of resentment toward Ghost Song, but they had to put that resentment aside for a moment in the face of the immediate reality..
Revenge was important, but not as important as freedom..
“Don't be mistaken. We have no choice but to follow your dirty tricks, not out of loyalty..”
“I don't expect that either..”
As soon as they said they would accept the offer, they put a ban on it..
First, it was protection for people around him..
I was planning to bring a portrait later and recognize it..
Second, it was about keeping secrets..
It was mainly about ghost songs..
Thirdly, it was related to myself and the plan..
We have warned you not to cause harm..
The third included ghosts..
He needed ghosts for his plan, so he couldn't harm them..
The deserters were very dissatisfied with the third, but they did not show it outwardly..
Because no matter how much I tell you, nothing will change.
“And, if you're going to use us, at least don't get involved with them. I would rather kill myself than help my enemy..”
“It's not about taking advantage, it's about asking for help... … done. Since I don't believe it anyway, my mouth just hurts. And I have a sense of humor, so don't worry about it..”
The resentment that the deserter had towards the ghost was beyond imagination..
Well, it was natural since they had treated me like a slave all my life and caused me all kinds of pain in the name of training..
“No one can break our hearts, and no one can take our emotions away. Even if one dominates the body, the mind and soul will not yield..”
The escapees were very obsessed with the mind, and they all seemed to have suffered mental trauma in the process of murder..
“lieutenant commander”
“Yes, Daehyeop.”
“How on earth does simsal proceed??”
Unable to contain his curiosity, he called the major aside and asked him about it. He couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the story..
The words that came out of the major's mouth were cruel, inhumane, and devilish beyond imagination..
“When taken prisoner, they must endure torture to avoid revealing information. So, in order to build up resistance to torture, we start with torture..”
It was unusual from the beginning.
“If you overcome the torture, next you will bring in a trainee who has been with you since childhood..”
“no way……”
Assassins usually learn from an early age not to build affection..
Personal affection only gets in the way of assassination..
But ghost songs are a little different..
I intentionally leave people I'm close with alone..
There are even people who become lovers along the way, but there is no stopping them..
“Trainees who have formed a bond give orders to kill each other and then use drugs to kill each other.……”
“stop.”
I didn't want to hear any more.
I had a rough idea of what would happen next..
As I watched him speak, it seemed like the process continued further, but I wasn't really curious..
I just felt worse.
Even though it was an indispensable force to achieve peace, it was an organization that could not be called correct..
‘That thief in the Three Eyes was truly a crazy person.?’
I could understand the hate so much..
Conversely, if you don't hold a grudge, that's even weirder..
Above all, it was heartbreaking to see the major, who was still only a child, say such things so casually..
I can't even imagine what happened..
* * *
Joo Seo-cheon and Nak So-wol decided to stay here for a while to improve their posture..
I asked the major if there was a place to rest, and he showed me..
It was a ghost valley that seemed to be untouched by human hands, but there was a small dwelling hidden deep in the depths..
“It's really too much.”
Even though it was a residential area, it was definitely not a place for people to live..
There was a wooden building, but it was spacious and had no separate rooms, just bedding..
Instead, the facilities such as the armory, library, and doctor's office were excellent..
On the contrary, it was so clean that it made me feel bad..
“I've been looking for a place like this for years, even decades..”
Ga Mu-liang muttered in a defeated voice..
They arrived in Gok and only received training..
I slept by lying down anywhere..
When I escaped, I thought there might be a stronghold of ghosts somewhere and searched for them to attack..
But I couldn't even find a clue, let alone the main location. I never thought they would find it so easily..
“It was hidden inside the formation, so don't be so disillusioned. Then I'll call you next time so take a break..”
Even after arriving, the fugitives could not relax..
Even when I slept, I wasn't sleeping because I was always unable to escape the threat of ghosts or madmen..
The fact that the place to lie down was flat and not uneven was awkward, so I couldn't fall asleep properly..
In the end, I decided on a nightstand that wasn't necessary and slept in shifts..
“lieutenant commander”
“yes.”
The Major appeared as if from the shadows..
Nak So-wol was often surprised by the appearance of ghosts..
Since I couldn't feel any presence, it felt like I was seeing a ghost. My heart almost jumped out more than once..
“How do I contact external branches??”
“A letter in encrypted text is sent via Jeon Seo-eung..”
“This time I'll ask you a favor.”
Instead of answering, the major brought a brush and paper..
What I will tell you first is the appearance and identity of Ghost Gokju. And it was about keeping secrets and protecting people around you..
It was out of concern that the recluse or his allies might be harmed by a blind ghost for no reason..
“I think you'll trust me?”
“Trust, but don't act carelessly. There are cases where it is not proven before your eyes, and there is a code of conduct for those cases. Commands will be limited.”
“The ability to control has no effect on letters..”
It is possible to protect people around you, but there are also restrictions on access to valuable information and assassination..
After remembering the new facts and sending letters to each branch, I stayed in the archives for a while and did various research..
The ghosts answered any question, but basically said nothing unless asked..
If I don't ask about something I don't know, I'll never know, so I had to search through the archives to find useful information..
There was basic knowledge about Ghost Song, and information other than the elixir or martial arts secret possessed by the song..
Because the amount was unusual, it was difficult to find out everything, so I learned only the important ones..
That alone was quite a big achievement..
Time passed and 15 days passed..
I read all the important information carefully..
I also learned the basics of cryptography..
“execution. It's almost time. Everyone wait.”
Around the time of Jinshi, Luo Sowol came to call..
“okay.”
I closed the book and put it in the bookshelf..
Now I'm slowly getting tired of Byeokgokdan too..
This damn ghost song seems to have no concept of taste and there was no food other than Byeokgokdan..
“Let's go out.”
Five of the ghosts were left behind in Hebeukgok for emergency situations and for contact with the outside world..
Everyone followed the order to desert..
Some people felt awkward about leaving after a few years, while others had decades..
I whispered while blinking my eyes, still in disbelief..
Please note that the route I was guided to was different from the place I originally came in..
I was curious and asked, and they said there were multiple entrances..
Among them, there was a place where you could get there without having to go through the countless obstacles, although the road was complicated and you got lost..
When we came outside, the sunlight greeted us warmly..
“under! I never thought the sunlight would be so welcoming!”
Joo Seocheon covered his eyes with his hands and laughed..
Luo Sowol, who was behind him, also smiled happily..
Ghost Valley was completely dark except for the glowing moss, so the sunlight was especially welcome..
“Huh……”
Ji Mu-liang pursed his lips in wonder..
He and other escapees all showed the same reaction..
“Ughhh……”
Not long after, some people came out crying quietly..
He burst into tears as if relieved to have escaped hell safely..
no one laughed at him or her.
Ju Seo-cheon and Nak So-wol also said nothing at this time..
I could understand their feelings a little bit..
“What happens to us now??”
Ji Mu-liang asked with red eyes..
“Take care of it..”
“By-self?”
“okay. The ghost will come to you if you need it. It takes time, so I'd be happy if you stayed by my side, but that's not something you should say to someone who has just regained their freedom..”
Ji Mu-liang makes a slightly surprised expression and closes his eyes..
Dozens of thoughts passed through my head..
The silence didn't last very long.
He was the one who opened his mouth first..
“Honestly, I, no, we don't fully trust you yet..”
I got out into the world I had longed for, but it still didn't feel real..
I was suspicious of some kind of trap lurking..
Their past lives have left them devastated..
“Maybe this is a dream. So, let me check.
I will face the truth and if it is not a lie, I will accept your offer and help you..”
‘As expected, this doesn't end my grudge against the ghost. Still, this is a success..’
It's banned anyway, so it doesn't matter if you let it go..
They promised an alliance, so I decided to be satisfied with that..
“I'll just go now.”
“okay. If you have nowhere else to go, go to the Geumui Sangdan that I taught you about yesterday. I will leave a comment and I will help you..”
“……thanks.”
With those words, the 45-year-old’s presence disappeared..
“It's gone.”
“Yeah, that's right.”
“I really don't mind letting you go?”
Nak So-wol was worried about Joo Seo-cheon..
If the grudge against the ghost is directed at Gokju, it cannot be controlled..
Human sorrow is scarier than you think.
This is especially true for Kangho Moorim..
Because it is a world made up of benevolent relationships..
You can see it by looking at the past..
“I explained about the ban.?”
“Yes, I know that. still……”
I was anxious.
Because there is no such thing as perfection in this world.
Nak So-wol was cautious for his age..
Even when I was young, I was more mature and wiser than my peers..
“What will you do if I don't let you go? Should I put him in prison??”
“that……”
Luo Sowol could not answer easily..
Concern about the death penalty and moral sense as a human being.
The two were compatible and I didn't know what to do..
“Certainly, as Samae said, you might make a mistake and get hit in the back. Because there is no such thing as perfection.”
he is not a genius.
You may have spoken without properly detecting weaknesses or holes in your control capabilities..
Ghosts have no mind or emotions, so there is no need to worry about being betrayed, but the spirit of escape was different..
Because human will is not normal..
I knew well how great and scary it was, having experienced the war..
“But why……”
“Did you send it back??”
“yes.”
Joo Seocheon turned his back and smiled slightly..
“Just because I wanted to.”
Seeing that smile, Luo Sowol widened his eyes as if surprised, but soon returned to normal with a smile on his lips..
Shandong, Jinan.
The prestige of the gold attire increased day by day..
While I wasn't looking, the manor grew so big that I couldn't recognize it..
It's only been about half a year, but I heard that they have accumulated wealth and expanded the building..
After arriving in Jinan, the group headed straight to the top..
Even though they were part of the group, it was Luo So-wol and five ghosts..
“Hey, look over there..”
“Is that person……”
While heading to the entrance at the top, visitors who had been lining up since early morning were whispering about Ju Seocheon..
“haha. Because this becomes difficult when you become famous..”
Now that I think about it, I returned to Hwasan before I could even enjoy the title of Plum Blossom Jeonggeom..
The Hwasan Clan also recognized him, but since they were family members, it didn't really feel that real..
It felt new and good when complete strangers recognized me at a glance and praised me..
It was a reaction I couldn't have dreamed of in my past life, so I couldn't help but feel good..
“But isn’t it a little strange?……?”
Nak So-wol muttered in a voice filled with doubt..
“what?”
“It's the gaze.”
“That's because you're covering your face. Don't be too upset just because the usual attention has disappeared..”
“It's not like that.……”
Nak So-wol sighed as if he couldn’t stop it..
“It's important to find out about the death penalty... … execution?”
Joo Seocheon entered the manor and stopped..
It wasn't long after I entered the list at the entrance..
There was something strange in the very center of the well-manicured garden..
And only after seeing that did the two understand the identity of the gaze they had felt at the front door earlier..
“ …… execution.”
“don't ask.”
I felt stinging gazes from next to me, but I turned away..
What appeared before my eyes was a statue about eight feet tall..
The face was so detailed that the sculptor's skills were quite remarkable..
Above all, it stood out because it was made of gold, not stone or iron..
No, who did this golden statue resemble before that?.
“oh my! Isn't it Daehyeop?!”
Thump thump thump!
Lee Ui-chae, who gained weight in half a year, jumped out in socks..
Sweat is pouring down from my double-layered chin, as if I ran in such a hurry..
In the past, he looked far from a merchant, but now he seems to have become quite affluent and has gained a lot of weight..
“Lee Eui-chae, the owner of the top. Like the woman who sent her husband to war, I waited for the Great Hyeop! Hehehe!”
Although his appearance changed, his personality and attitude remained the same..
The way he laughs and rubs his palms is truly a betrayal..
He seemed to be dripping with goodwill..
“I missed Daehyeop so much that I made a statue in the garden like this and bowed to it every morning. Isn't it cool? see!”
Lee Uichae smiled brightly and touched the hem of the golden statue..
The hand movements were so insidious that I felt bad..
I could understand why people recognized me and started whispering..
Joo Seocheon walked slowly and stood in front of the golden statue..
Then Lee Uichae opened his mouth and started speaking as if he had been waiting..
“Yes, Daehyeop. To explain this golden statue:……”
And the words soon turned into screams.
“Argh! Great cooperation! How much does that cost? Great cooperation! Daehyup!”
“Fuck it!”
* * *
I face the faces I miss.
“It's been a while, everyone..”
Jinan was now Jay's hometown..
The day I spent at Geumui Sangdan was very comfortable..
More than anything, it was nice to see the faces I missed..
“Hehehe… It's been a long time since I last saw you. Great cooperation! Wow!”
Lee Uichae cried and greeted her while holding the gold that had been divided into pieces..
It's weird because he's holding his head up..
“Please stop crying and just give me a brief overview of what happened..”
“yes……”
It wasn't a big deal to even see it..
I heard about important things roughly through letters..
Geumui Sangdan did business by gradually expanding its territory..
In addition to grain, weapons, guesthouses, and battlefields were also installed in several places..
Since it was a side job, it wasn't on a large scale..
We are still focusing on rations and military equipment..
Geumui Geommun is growing without problems from the first to the third forces..
Isn’t it clear that the King of Shang has a keen eye for talent?.
If there was a problem, they were immediately expelled and replaced with new personnel to maintain the top level..
Cold but efficient.
“For your information, Mr. Mugok has been participating and often giving teachings since three months ago..”
“is it so?”
not bad. On the contrary, it is something to be welcomed with open arms..
Isn't that what the sword demon teaches, a man close to the Tenth Place in Heaven?.
I thought it would definitely produce good results..
“yes. In the beginning, he got angry when a certain restaurant tried to teach him, but after being harshly treated, he kept his mouth shut and obeyed..”
“Did you attack that guy? It's going to be big.”
It wasn't a joke, it was serious.
“What is succession doing now??”
“You are sleeping.”
“The sun rose in the sky?”
“You've been up all night for a few days developing something. It's probably time to wake up, but I'll call the attendant to wake you up..”
“it's okay. It's not like you don't have time, so just take your time. Rather, there is someone I can introduce to you..”
Lee Uichae's gaze naturally turned to the side..
“It is Naksowol Sojeo, the heroine of Gangho, the Five Elders of Hwasan, and the eldest descendant of the Iron Blooded Swordsman. It's an honor to meet you..
As rumored, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. This small statue, when she saw that beauty for the first time, her eyes almost popped out yo.”
I was impressed that the flattery flowed like water, but Naksowol was surprised when I recognized him even though he was not introduced..
“do you know me?”
“Sure, you know. No one who has visited the volcano has been captivated by Sojeo's beauty..
Above all, you are a very precious person who is not close to the Daehyeop. How can I not recognize you? I don't know anything about this Sosang and Daehyup..”
“It feels a bit bad..”
“haha. Daehyup. Since you praise me so much, I don't know what to do..”
Lee Uichae shamelessly countered..
“I've talked about Samae before, and the owner of the top is a very capable person. You have great knowledge not only about Sanggye but also about Moorim. You know better than us.”
“Knowledge is money.”
“Isn’t knowledge power??”
“For a merchant, power is money, right?!”
Indeed, it made sense..
“It's a bit unfortunate that I don't have a chance to introduce myself, but it's still nice to know. Please take care of me.”
Luo Xiaoyue bowed and greeted politely..
“Oh my, female cooperative. There is no need to be so polite to a merchant like me. Please be comfortable with me.”
Lee Uichae waved his hand as if he was in trouble, but smiled slightly as if he was happy..
‘As expected, it is Samashi of the Great Council. As Geumui's name went up, I saw many reviews, but there were only a few people who didn't despise him and treated him like this..’
The way the warrior looks at the merchant is not very good, and this is especially true of the gold suit..
I didn't expect to be treated well in the first place, and most people I met showed hostility and disdain..
In particular, among the latter-day exponents of the political faction, there were many An Ha-muin who were full of arrogance and conceit..
Zhou Seo-cheon and Zhuge Sheng-gye were included in a unique category, and Luo So-wol was also added today..
It's been a long time since I thought of the term "similar species" in a good sense..
“Oh, and there are more people to introduce..”
“this! Did you have any companions??
I stopped focusing only on Daehyeop’s handsome face. If you just tell me where they are, I'll go meet them right away..”
“it's okay. Because it's here.”
Joo Seocheon tapped the ground with his index and middle fingers..
Then a man and a woman appeared on both sides just as they had originally been there..
“omg!”
Lee Uichae fell down while screaming..
To his eyes, it seemed as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere..
“These two will become the hands and feet of the Lord of the Sangdan in the future..”
“Hands and feet …… ?”
Lee Ui-chae asked with a shocked expression..
man and woman.
They were both wearing revealing clothes and had faces that showed no emotion..
black cloth covering eyes.
They were two of the five ghosts that followed in Ghost Valley..
“If two people join forces, it will be easy to kill a peak expert and even a super peak expert will be able to kill them without overdoing it. These two are mainly good at assassinations and information gathering, so use them at your mercy..”
As Lee Ui-chae says himself, his body has become such that he can no longer be called Sosang..
Because of the amount of attention it receives, I had an escort nearby, but it wasn't enough..
It's not like the Sword Demon can stay by your side forever..
“As I said, I will follow any orders from the top leader. But please treat them like people, not tools. These are poor people.”
“Oh, I see..”
Even if you have lost your mind, you are not a tool..
They were also victims in a way.
It doesn't mean that the sins committed so far will go away, but it's still hard to say that it's all their fault..
Being a victim in the past does not mean that it is used as an excuse, but it is still very pitiful to live a life of being taken advantage of..
Even if I lost my heart and it was meaningless, I hoped I would receive at least some return..
“He and she will spend the rest of their lives by Sangsangju's side. I don't have a name, so I would appreciate it if you could give me one instead..”
A man and a woman moved from Ju Seo-cheon's side to Lee Eui-chae's side and stopped..
The face didn't show any emotion, so it didn't look like a person..
“Well then, I'll leave for today. I'm a little tired from the trip. I'll see you again tomorrow.”
“All right. Please rest well..”
After saying hello and opening the door, a servant and a maid greeted us and guided us to their respective rooms..
And about a moment later, Joo Seocheon came back..
“Is there a problem?”
Lee Uichae was not surprised and asked as if he had been waiting..
After making sure that no one was listening, Joo Seocheon took out the business he had hidden..
“I came to pick up the supplies I had left behind..”
“indeed. For some reason, I thought the Shaolin Temple was too quiet..”
‘He still has a frightening level of insight and brain power..’
I didn't say anything in detail, but everyone noticed..
The highest level of blood monks, the Murim Alliance and the Shaolin Temple, and the preserved Prajna Spiritual Techniques..
He has an unusual sense of understanding of the situation..
It is not for nothing that he reigned as a king in a time of war..
‘I'm so glad to have you as an ally..’
To be trusted by him was to gain a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses..
“It was so heavy to keep it to myself.!”
Lee Uichae sighed and patted the floor..
After groping for a while, his hand caught a gap of an invisible width..
Even though my fingers were thick, I was able to catch it well..
Next, he took a wooden skewer out of his pocket, inserted it into the crack, and flipped the bottom open..
“The location changed at least once every two days, and I was the only one who knew. Thanks to you, I renovated my house quite a bit..”
The fish caught between fleshy fingers was carefully transported and returned to its original owner, the grave robber..
“Thank you for your hard work in storing it..”
I checked the contents to make sure it was the original, and then kept it in my arms..
It's not that I'm particularly suspicious, but I'm just preparing for the risk of it being secretly changed by a third party..
“‘I will take it with me’ to the Shaolin Temple. Please send a letter saying: The Murim Lord has spoken, so you will understand. Then I'm really going to take a rest..”
The next day, I was able to relieve all the fatigue that had accumulated for a while thanks to the generous hospitality of the owner of the company..
In particular, I was so happy that my mouth was tearing because the feast was so exquisite that my upper legs broke..
No matter how good Byeokgokdan is in terms of nutrition, it really doesn't taste good..
It was very different from the dish Suksu cooked..
After filling my stomach with medicinal liquor, I introduced Naksowol to the people I could call family..
For your information, when I met Mugok, I once again realized how great his martial arts was..
“Hoo. It's surprising that there isn't one. Are these the ghosts of the valley??”
As soon as Mugok saw Joo Seocheon, he recognized the ghosts..
My sharp eyesight was unusual..
“Meet Eungong.”
Muduhwa put his fern-like hands together and greeted politely..
“To be honest, it's really awkward to be called Eunkong. Eun-gong is not me, but Dang Sojeo..”
It is indeed Dokbong who healed me, but Ju Seocheon Daehyeop is also my benefactor. According to what the girl heard from her father, she asked Dokbong for treatment and also risked her life to bring the necessary tools for treatment..”
Muduhwa was not feeling well, so he often sat or lay down inside the house rather than playing outside..
Also, because Mugok was wary of the approach of outsiders, he was unable to make friends of his own age..
So, naturally, I read books to relieve my boredom..
I also learned etiquette and tone from reading good books..
When I was in good health, I invited bachelors and others to study hard, so the etiquette I had ingrained was not normal..
“exactly. If I hadn't been indebted to Eun-gong, why would I have sworn an oath??”
Mugok smiled proudly at his daughter..
“That's right, death penalty. It's good to be polite, but if you go too far, it can be rude. What's great is great.”
The sister-in-law smiled brightly at the praise from the brother-in-law..
It was a little lonely compared to the days when I knew his true value to myself, but it still felt good..
At least I won't feel bad about being undervalued like before..
“lost.”
Joo Seocheon smiled awkwardly while scratching his head..
“By the way, I recently heard that he was giving teachings to Geumui Swordman..”
“It's not that great. I just point it out when I see something that catches my eye..”
“Isn’t that great enough on its own? If it's okay, wouldn't you consider taking on the position of door manager??”
“It's impossible.”
Mugok shook his head left and right with an apologetic face..
“No matter how much you ask, I can't do it because of the recluse..”
“Hey, you mean the recluse??”
The recluse of the Sword Demon, who was later called the second most powerful person in the world.!
As a military officer, I can't help but be interested..
There was a lot of information related to him, but none about the recluse..
Everyone knew how great his martial arts and sword skills were, but we didn't know much about his martial arts skills..
There were some things Mugok didn't specifically say, but it was because he was so scared that no one asked..
“If you don't mind, can you teach me??”
“It won't be that difficult. You probably won't know because it's only been passed down as a one-person story and it hasn't been shown much in the powerhouses..
It’s called Yongjaemun (龍帝門), I’ve heard of it.?”
“This is definitely my first time hearing this name..”
Originally, I would have hired a disciple, but I ran out of time as I was traveling around trying to treat my daughter..
In the future, he fought as a martial arts official as Amcheonhoeju's right hand man and eventually disappeared into the darkness of history..
The clan itself was not known because it had a strong tendency to retreat, and the last clan lord was also like this, so it was inevitable that we would not know..
“It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do. Oh, and if it's okay, I'd like to provide you with an escort. How about that??”
“There is no reason to refuse. Are you one of them??”
“yes. Since we are also of the same sex, there shouldn’t be any discomfort..”
Among the ghosts, two women of about the same age were chosen..
Mugok looked at the two and smiled with satisfaction and thanked them..
I was really grateful that they even cared about gender..
I was already planning to ask Lee Uichae to look into hiring a new escort or maid..
After giving the woman some information about ghosts, Joo Seocheon designated Mugok and Mugokhwa as the owners..
After that, we drank tea and talked in moderation..
Nak So-wol and Mu Su-hwa were both women and of similar age, so they quickly became close friends..
Both personalities matched well..
Mugok saw his daughter's laughter and left, saying he would not disturb her, and Joo Seocheon followed him and talked in the yard..
* * *
Of the ghosts brought from Hebei Valley, only the major remains..
So, I went to Shandong Valley to recruit more people..
It was a place you had to visit anyway to increase your control area..
This time, I went alone instead of with Luo Xiaoyue..
The major came out as a guide, so if you ask me, I'm not alone..
Anyway, Shandong Valley was not attacked by madmen like Hebei Valley..
In the first place, Hebeuk Valley was unique..
There were forty ghosts and one hundred training spirits..
I obtained Sandong Valley with this, but I also had concerns..
‘What should I do with the training spirit??’
Raising ghosts is never humane.
My conscience was pricked to just pass by..
In the case of Hebei Valley, Jia Wuliang was such an anomalous person that he rebelled and succeeded in escaping, but there was no such person in Shandong Valley's training spirit..
They gave up everything, focused only on survival, and absolutely obeyed orders..
I could close my eyes and let it go like this, but I don't want to..
But I can't let go of everything.
In the end, after much deliberation, I decided to come up with the next best solution..
“no more killing.”
As assassination, no one can follow the ghosts..
It is not for nothing that it reigns as a legend among the assassins..
As long as you overcome Simsal, you will gain the best ability, but if you don't, the risk is too great..
More than anything, I was concerned about taking away people’s emotions and hearts..
I don't know what will happen next, but I wanted to leave at least the bare minimum behind..
A letter was also sent to Hebeukgok..
Originally, I wanted to send it to other branches, but since the trial process was so important, I needed proof..
“huh?”
While looking at Shandonggok's request list, I found a familiar name..
“Why is the name of the merchant here? I'm sure they weren't preparing for an assassination.?”
“This is a request I received before reading the list of impossible assassinations in a letter I received recently. I will refuse everything and pay a penalty..”
If the assassination failed, four to six times the commission was paid, and if the assassination was not attempted, double the amount was paid..
Although the amount on the head of the gold merchant was not small, Ghost Song's funds were also unusual, so payment was possible..
“Is the client a top merchant in Jiangsu? It seems they requested that their rice bowls be taken away as they expanded their territory in Shandong..”
As time goes by, he is becoming more like the King of Sang..
Saved a few decades.
I realized how scary it would be if funds were given to a gift from heaven..
Ten people were brought back, leaving behind thirty ghosts in Shandong Valley..
When we arrived at the top and told Lee Uichae the name of the place that requested the assassination, his eyes lit up and he said thank you..
Even though he was still flattering, his eyes shined as cold as ice when he saw the name..
“As the top has grown, the number of people targeting me has increased. And some of these people are empty-headed fools, and they are indeed good prey..”
Sometimes I have this creepy smile on my face.
He was frighteningly cruel in matters related to money and profit..
“It seems like you get really tired when you become famous..
Not long ago, there were people who said crazy things like saying that they would let them take over all of the commercial districts in Jungwon..”
Joo Seocheon's hands trembled while he was drinking tea..
“What kind of person was he??”
“He didn't tell me his name, but gave me ten pieces of gold for the meeting. So I received it without any hesitation, but after reading it roughly, I sent it to him. He said he would come back later..”
“Top note. Please ensure security both inside and outside for the time being. And beware of relatively recent hires..”
“After all, you are Daehyup. You recognized him as a suspicious person just from hearing the story.!”
It seemed like he was just flattering me in a frivolous manner, but that was not his intention at all..
The eyes buried in my flesh opened sharply..
“You don't have to ask me what to do, but you just need to be careful from now on..”
In the future, during the war, Lee Ui-chae coped with it without much damage, grew his business, and achieved great success..
There was no need to give advice to someone who gave the best results even if left alone..
So, after giving a vague and appropriate warning, I decided to move separately..
‘Did Cheon Gwon-seong approach?.’
The Heavenly Powers of the Chilseongsa Temple receive orders from Cheongi and Huiju to plant Ganja in the forces that stand out for the future..
And before planting ganja, they sent someone to check and try to placate the allies, and it seemed like they came this time..
I'm not sure yet, but it seems likely..
‘The growth of the top of gold.’
The Gold Medal has grown beyond recognition over the past few years, and has begun to exert influence not just on one region, but on the entire Central Plains..
I don't know how King Sang refused Amcheonhoe's appeasement and protected his assets in his previous life, but he had to be stopped..
Otherwise, one day you will be attacked.
‘It won't work out the way you want..’
When I close my eyes, I hear a scream.
The screams and screams of those who died in the war turned the world red..
Above it was the Amcheonhoe, and there were countless sacrifices..
Chilseongsa Temple, Dogambu, and Amcheonhoe.
‘Cheon Seon-seong.’
The time has come for a counterattack, or rather an attack..
The first target is Cheonseonseong, which is also the center of Amcheonhoe information..
The information that Tianquan obtains by planting spies is also unusual, but compared to Tianxian, the amount is overwhelmingly small..
That's because their true identity is one of the world's leading intelligence organizations..
‘Lower Gate)’
In martial arts, there are degrees, degrees, and degrees of magic..
And beyond that, there is something called the black road..
Hao Mun, who was only a black man in his room temperature, was not treated as a proper strongman sect in Wulin..
That's because they're an illiterati and the only people who make up them are pure city affairs thugs..
Starting from pickpockets on the street, courtesans, Jeomsoyi, manor servants, coachmen, or low-ranking warriors of the country..
I was able to get a rough idea of what it was like just by looking at the members..
It is a place where the lower class of the martial arts group gathers, and although it is the largest in number among the sects, its cohesion is not good..
Since it was a city administration affair, things like benevolence and loyalty were only jokes..
However, as people with all kinds of professions gathered together, their information gathering ability was very outstanding..
‘Hao Wenzhou, one of the seven chieftains!’
And that Hao Wen-ju was the true identity of Tian Shen..
Although he is called Munju, he is looked down upon because he is a Bangpai of Heukdo, and his true identity is the leadership of the Amcheonhoe..
