Chapter Index

    *** ***

    The volunteer army that caused an uproar throughout Sichuan Province departed.

    The people who saw the departure of the punitive army were already preparing for the victory ceremony according to the instructions of Sima Yan and Guan.

    You may criticize him for just gulping down a bowl of kimchi soup, but if you want to start an improvement event in time for the return of the punitive forces, it’s not too late to prepare now.

    ‘Keeping momentum and preparing for the festival along with the triumphal ceremony will help the people of Sichuan Province gain energy.’

    When it came to preparing for the festival, Sama Yeom and I had different opinions.

    I did not expect that the Sichuan people, who had suffered from bandits for quite some time, would be cooperative in preparing for the triumphal ceremony and festival. Still, since it was a plan promoted by administrative expert Sima Yeom with full confidence, we decided to follow his opinion in this part.

    Seeing that the people of Sichuan Province were excitedly preparing for the event, it seemed that Sima Yan’s thoughts were correct.

    I thought they would hold more resentment in their hearts, but the people of Sichuan Province seem to be satisfied with the return to peaceful daily life.

    “Um.”

    I may have been thinking too much about the martial arts people. Because all the figures in the world of martial arts that I knew and experienced were martial people.

    It was a good decision not to stretch out in front of the experts. If I had failed to understand public sentiment when refuting that I was right, a new dark history would have been created.

    For the first time in a long time, I smoothed out my pressed black lips and asked the black cat a question.

    “You blocked the golden messenger well, right?”

    “Don’t worry. Because they are watching everyone, not even leaving out a single one.”

    I feel reassured.

    In fact, it was not in my plan that Seongrak Rouju would escape like this. I thought I would rely on the Golden Sun or the Gaemyeongbu. It seems that the friendship between those three people is not as deep as I expected.

    They seem like malicious characters that you can’t trust even after 15 years of friendship.

    Anyway, thanks to Yoo Ji-gyeong being caught, there was no need to stop by Seongrakru last night.

    On the second day after winning a lot of gold, I tried to provoke him by saying he would come the next day, but I unintentionally lied.

    Anyway, if I go now, I won’t be able to make any money.

    Special customers would have mobilized all their connections to bring in warriors. In the first place, special customers are rotten people who spend money to enjoy shady services. Since he lost by gambling, he probably only wants to catch me and kill me rather than paying me back through gambling.

    If I had to go to Seongnakru, there would have been an uproar. Actually, I was planning on going on a rampage and gnawing at the roots of Seongnakru’s pillars… but there was no need to do that. What’s the use of shaking it when you’re holding Rouge?

    “If we do it by tonight, there will be no need for surveillance, right?”

    “That’s right. If we don’t get out by the end of the night, we won’t be able to make it on time.”

    Now that Seongrakru is headless, he can strike the final blow at any time. I need to focus on the rest.

    “In the end, it looks like Jambongmun was divided into two branches.”

    “It looks like they decided to keep the revised list, right?”

    “Some warriors who followed Gaemyeongbu remained. About 20 to 30 people?”

    It’s just the right waterway.

    Yoo Ji-kyung, the golden line, is a person I don’t know. But I know the name change department well.

    This is because Gaemyeongbu is a character who appears in the scenario of the martial arts world.

    Therefore, it was expected that even if a punitive army was formed in which all the warriors in Sacheon participated, the Gaemyeongbu would remain in Sacheon Province.

    When the Golden Sun’s operation is carried out, the Gaemyeongbu, which belongs to Jambongmun, will suffer a huge blow. But why did the Ministry of Civil Affairs agree to this operation and move forward? I agreed to the operation because I plan to transfer my affiliation to a sect that is currently confirmed as Hwangbosae, and a branch is scheduled to be established.

    Therefore, even after the punitive force was formed, it remained in Sacheon Province. In order to accurately show that it is pro-Hwangbosae.

    No matter how much Jambongmun and Jang Munin tried to persuade him, he would have had no choice but to lead the war with only the remaining forces, leaving behind the Gaemyeongbu and Gaemyeongbu factions, which were unwavering.

    The Platinum faction has passed away. Anyway, no matter what tier the faction is, it doesn’t matter because the signboard will have to be taken down within a few days.

    “Good luck today. See you tomorrow.”

    “Yes. Senior, please take a day off too.”

    Black Cat left for the final surveillance of Golden House and Jambongmun.

    “This body appears!”

    I returned to Ronin Gaekjan after a few days.

    “It’s been a few days since I saw you.”

    “Don’t make a fuss and come in quickly!”

    As I entered the guest house while listening to the familiar sounds of pounding, I saw Yoo Yu-yeon smoking a cigarette in a gombang style. The two ronin who were injured during the last production seemed to have recovered completely and were drinking tea normally.

    “Are you here?”

    “Are the preparations going well?”

    “I am the only one who prepares. That’s what rogues do.”

    Certainly, many ronin were trained. I can feel that the atmosphere, which was temporarily disturbed when I arrived, has become sharp again.

    “It feels like the first day I came to Rongin Gaekjan.”

    “It’s because you took everything out. Ronin naturally suits this side better.”

    People from the same industry live in the same room, but they frequently end up getting stabbed and furrowing their eyebrows, which I defend. You should relax a little more at home, you should be more nervous at home, fart.

    I was about to hit her lightly, but when I saw Yu Yu-yeon’s legs shaking, I swallowed my words.

    Yu Yu-yeon has a habit of shaking her legs when she’s nervous.

    “Spread out some tobacco. She’s already an old maid, but if she even has a face, who will take her?”

    “….Do you want to die, Hocheonan?”

    After confirming that my legs had stopped shaking, I chuckled and ran away. Yoo Yu-yeon, who had been looking at me hiding for a while using the table as a shield, sighed and went up to her room on the fourth floor.

    The Ronin who saw this smiled and said something one by one.

    “As expected, Hocheonan is the best for catching Gaekju.”

    “Stop teasing me and bring me a man.”

    Now the atmosphere is starting to relax a bit.

    The majority of people in this world of martial arts viewed martial artists as some sort of superhuman beings. You can’t let down your guard even for a minute and only think about the twelve martial arts skills… and things like that.

    Although warriors are stronger than ordinary people, they are fundamentally human.

    There’s still one day left until the final day, but the tension is already so high that I don’t have any mental strength left.

    All of the injured ronin recovered and expressed their intention to participate, and as I was looking at the other ronin one by one, there was one person who caught my eye.

    Yeongji Huyeol and Ja So-gyeong.

    “Are your preparations going well?”

    “Is there anything to prepare?”

    Yeongjihuyeol answered in a calm tone. Ja So-kyung also nodded to indicate that it was okay.

    “Operation tomorrow. Are you okay?”

    “What….”

    Yeongjihuyeol trailed off his words and half-drawn his sword. Yeongjihuyeol’s sword had one joint. When Yeo Il-ye first entered the Rongin Gaekjan in search of me, Yeongji Hu-yeol blocked her path and his sword was cut in half by Yeo Il-ye’s sword cavity.

    After that, the fact that he used a joined sword instead of buying a new one also meant that he did not forget the grudge he had against Yeo Il-ye.

    “The support of Yeo Il-ye is my personal matter. I can’t say I feel comfortable, but don’t worry, I won’t have any personal feelings about this operation in which all Sichuan people participate.”

    Yeongjihuyeol is a great person in both a good and bad sense. What should I say, a writer of the Cheongryu faction? A person like the gentleman mentioned in Confucianism. A person who does not forget grudges, clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, and is strict not only with others but also with himself.

    I’m the type of person who won’t say anything twice, so I won’t cause any accidents.

    Ja So-gyeong had also been severely beaten by Yeo Il-ye. Ja So-gyeong looked at me and laughed.

    “I have no grudges! It’s already been a few years! Even though I got hit with it, I guess it’s a profitable business since I joined hands with a fortune-teller and a martial artist!”

    “That’s right.”

    “More than anything, there is something that must be repaid to Jambongmun. All Ronin feel the same way.”

    It would have been difficult to think harshly about the fact that the operation would be centered around these two people, who were ranked 1st and 2nd in military power, excluding the Black Cat, and were the most senior in the royal family. There’s no sign of that happening.

    “Good.”

    Preparation is perfect.

    27 Sichuan people including Heukmyo.

    Tomorrow, we attack Jambongmun with Yeo Il-ye.

    *** ***

    “Huhuhu…”

    Huwangchae owner Wang Menghao laughed as he looked at the riches piled up in a corner of the living quarters. Although I had made a living by stealing, it was the first time in my life that I had seen wealth piled up like a mountain.

    It was a superb view that you would never get tired of seeing.

    Wang Menghao unwrapped the porcelain bottle he was wearing on his belt and placed his mouth on its spout. Miju (美酒), whose scent rises as soon as you touch it. What followed was sweetness and spicyness that stimulated my tongue and esophagus.

    “You should enjoy it while you can.”

    Wang Menghao thought of Sichuan’s collaborator. Although there was no clear physical evidence, it was possible to guess who the collaborator was. It would have been enough to know exactly who the collaborator was, but there are some relationships in this world that are better left unknown.

    Wang Meng-hao, who recalled the wheat paper containing the situation in Sichuan Province that he had arrived in a few days ago, laughed at the giant waves of Sichuan Province. No matter how high the reputation of the clan is, what can you do? So slow. They can’t do anything if they quickly loot, run away, and disperse.

    ‘With this wealth, I can play in the forest for at least ten years.’

    Wang Menghao fell asleep while imagining such a rosy future.

    “Chaeju! Chaeju! It’s a big deal!”

    “Ummmm…what is it.”

    Wang Menghao looked at his subordinate who was making a fuss with annoyance. From a quick glance, it looks like it is very early in the morning. What is the fuss about this morning?

    “Unmanned! The drones have arrived!”

    “Aaaam…what are the other creditors doing to wake me up! Tell those guys to take care of it!”

    “Oh my, Chae Joo, now is not the time!”

    “You damn bastard! What’s so big about those idiots from Sichuan Province…”

    Wang Menghao scratched his stomach and came out of his quarters. However, the atmosphere was unusual. Doesn’t it look like all the bandits are frozen?

    Only then did Wang Menghao, who realized that the situation was serious, immediately display his light attack and climb to the top of the mountain building.

    “….what is it.”

    And then I saw it.

    The warriors surrounding the living quarters.

    “What is this?”

    Fighting spirit. miasma. Desperation. Thousands of warriors erupting like an active volcano!

    Tang Dao-gyeong looked around and was impressed.

    ‘It really is Brother Ho.’

    “Our Gyeongsangmun is a must! certainly! Obtain the silver plate! This is war! Absolutely capture him alive! Throw the rope first and watch!”

    “Hey there! Don’t you know that death is not treated as public value? If you want to use a sword, put it in its sheath and swing!”

    “Today, our Sugyeongmun is reborn as the Baekgeummun sect!”

    “Golden plaque or death!”

    “Death!”

    I wondered what that damn sign was for, but the morale of the warriors was literally on fire.

    A situation where everyone is staring with burning eyes!

    All of the warriors in Sichuan Province, except for a group of elders from Jambongmun’s enlightenment department and a very small number of warriors who have reasons for not being able to vacate Sichuan Province!

    A total of more than 5,000 warriors were waiting for Tang Do-gyeong’s hand signal.

    “[Start attack!]”

    Wow!!!!

    “Kill! No, catch it!”

    “Don’t miss even one!”

    Five thousand warriors rushing in with the force of a tsunami that could literally wipe out a mountain! The faces of the bandits in the mountains turned pale at that force.

    “Where is the creditor! I, Pokyungwon Mukgangtan, am here! Let’s hang out together!”

    “Chaeju, come out and receive this diagram of the cross section of Jajangmunju!”

    Together with Dang Do-yeon and Dang Do-gyeong, the best masters are rushing from the forefront and desperately crying out for a 50-point Chaeju!

    “Don’t forget to destroy your appearance! Catch those debt holders!”

    “Joint together and kill them!”

    Dang Do-gyeong felt reassured even though he felt a little chilled by the fighting spirit of the warriors, which bordered on madness. A fist is formed in Tang Do-gyeong’s fist.

    Wow!!

    Suddenly, a large hole appeared in the wooden fence.

    “Hwiyu~”

    Dang Do-yeon’s whip, which could not produce as much destructive power as Dang Do-gyeong, wrapped around the wooden fence, tightened and pulled. The wooden fence wrapped around the whip fell, gnawing as if it were being ground by a rope saw.

    “The way is open!!”

    The extreme masters entered by destroying the barrier, and the extreme masters crossed the barrier with light attacks. Top-class experts and the rest of the warriors enter without fail through the gap in the barrier made by the top-level experts!

    “That guy! That guy is a fan of Palbochae!”

    “Kill! No, catch it!”

    Burbubbubbuk!!

    “Ughekek!”

    The skill of Palbochae fan juicing was at its peak, but there were as many as seven masters at their peak who rushed forward with all their power exploding in an instant! While I was struggling with the momentum, I was immediately overpowered by the combined attack.

    “Gyeongsumun Gate! Kyung Soo-moon caught the Palbochae debt stock!!”

    “Do something! Hurry up and capture me!”

    A truly scene of massacre! Watching the ropes being wrapped around the bodies of the bandits who were instantly defeated by the violence of numbers, Dang Do-gyeong shook his head once and looked for the lenders.

    “Hey, I think that guy running away is Jinmichae Chaeju Seafood Pa, so I’ll chase after him.”

    “Okay.”

    Dang Do-yeon’s new type flew toward Chae-ju, a seafood parrot, who was running away wearing a fancy outfit.

    ‘The author is Palbochae, Chaeju Chinese Restaurant, and the author is Bok Choy, Chaeju, and Green Vegetable Saus.’

    The super experts of Sichuan Province, who have opened their eyes to search for bondholders, are already mingling with bondholders.

    Hiss!

    Naturally, Tang Dao-gyeong’s new form was fired at Wang Meng-hao, who was standing awkwardly at the top of the building.
