“Have you ever heard of Yangtze River Waterway?”
Yangtze River Waterway (長江水路寨).
This group, also known as the Yangtze River Waterway 18, was, as its name suggests, a water force group that mainly operated on the Yangtze River.
If the most famous force among bandits was Nokrim, the most famous force among bandits was the Yangtze River Surochae.
“Of course I’ve heard of it. However, I don’t know what the Yangtze River Waterway has to do with this. It’s not like they’re blocking the Yangtze River and stealing… ”
“That is correct. Among them, those called Sugyochae (水蛟寨) are rapidly increasing in power.”
“… … !”
Everyone except me opened their eyes wide in surprise at Hongran’s words.
I asked the guidebook because the reaction was more intense than I expected.
‘Isn’t it natural to steal from the Yangtze River since you are outnumbered by the Yangtze River? ‘Why are people so surprised?’
[The Yangtze River Surochae (長江水路寨) is a numerical group made up of vagabonds, rogues, and black warriors near the Yangtze River. They mainly make money by looting money from small and medium-sized merchants or by smuggling prohibited goods. The flow of the Yangtze River plays an important role in the logistics of the Central Plains. So, although it is impossible to completely eradicate them due to the width and length of the Yangtze River, the imperial family and the Murim Alliance are working hard to manage them so that they cannot run wild.]
‘I guess that kind of content also appeared in the original work.’
I nodded at the guidebook’s explanation.
In the end, it meant that the Janggangsurochae was a shabby group that was periodically pruned by the imperial family and the Murim Alliance, not living up to its reputation.
The party was surprised to hear that the Yangtze River Waterway controlled the Yangtze River.
“If the situation were to be like that, the imperial family or the Murim Alliance would have already carried out a large-scale sweep operation… … .”
“There is no complete control of the river. It is said that when a famous Segana or imperial ship passes by, they hide somewhere and are not even seen, and then attack, aiming for a large ship. Thanks to this, the amount of logistics heading to Gangseo, Anhui, and Jiangsu has recently decreased significantly.”
Hongran answered Namgoongmu’s muttering like this.
“Even so, I don’t know why the Murim Alliance hasn’t stepped forward until now… ”
“I never heard that from my father… Something like that happened.”
“Hmm… I don’t know if it’s a group like a large merchant, but in this situation, it would be virtually impossible for an individual to control an agent from a distance.”
It is not feasible to receive reports through the Yangtze River.
“I… I’m sorry to say this to the owner of the guesthouse who is doing such a prosperous business, but do you have any plans to sell the guesthouse?”
“Uh-huh! Do you think it’s that easy to sell a restaurant that has been in business for over ten years? And it was such a successful guest cup… ”
One of the leaders who was watching cautiously opened his mouth, but was subdued by his colleagues.
“Sorry. Now, I have memories tied to the guest cup, and I have never thought of completely handing over the guest cup I grew with my own hands to someone else. My desire to go to Anhui with Gaga has not changed, but I would like to find another way, even if it takes some time.”
“Does the Murim Alliance know about this?”
I asked about something that bothered me earlier.
If you listen to people’s stories, isn’t the reason why the enemy, who should have been eradicated long ago, running rampant is because there is no action from the Murim Alliance and the imperial family?
Hongran nodded at those words.
“Yes. If the diplomatic bonds were left as is, logistics would be completely disrupted, so it has already been several months since we gathered and delivered the opinions of nearby merchants. But with what happened recently, it seemed like they didn’t have the resources to help us.”
“Huh… In the meantime, the imperial family is not stepping forward, so how frustrating it must have been… ”
“From what I heard, Wang Jin-bung, the lender of Sugyochae, calls himself Habaek, the god of the river.”
“A mere enemy is the god of the river… ”
“If you listen to the surviving merchant, it is said that Wang Jinpeng controlled the waters of the Yangtze River as if he were a river god. Since he couldn’t have become a true god, he probably acquired an unusual dharma tool. Wang Jinpeng is an expert who has reached the pinnacle of numbers. He goes on such a rampage that the merchants on the ship have no way to endure it.”
“Do you mean that only one enemy possesses such an amazing legal instrument?”
“At that level, it is clear that it is a dharma tool that even the imperial family and the Murim Alliance would covet… ”
‘Dharma ball!’
As soon as I heard the word Dharma Gu, I immediately asked the guidebook a question.
‘Has there ever been a magic tool that can control water in the original work?’
[That’s right. There was a scene where Zhuge Cheol, a soldier of the Murim League, used the Chusu Dongbaekjang (招水冬柏杖), a magic tool to control river water.]
In the original work, if it was a legal tool that the Murim Alliance soldiers had, it seemed that the Murim Alliance would eventually subdue Sugyochae.
‘Or did things get messy because of me and they changed to not subjugating?’
In any case, as the party said, a tool that could control the river was a very desirable item.
It was hard to understand how busy the Murim Alliance was that they could leave a guy named Wang Jin-bung alone.
‘… … Then, shouldn’t I be able to eat it all?’
As of now, it is not clear whether the Murim Alliance will be subdued, and even if subjugated, it is not clear when it will happen.
That meant I had enough time to grab that dharma ball called Chosoo Dongbaekjang first.
‘I already have the ability to control fire, but now I can control water as well? ‘I can’t stand this.’
Light and darkness, earth and sky, water and fire, etc. For some reason, dealing with conflicting attributes at the same time had an element that made people’s hearts flutter.
I sipped my tea, feeling a bit like I had returned to childhood.
First, the group decided to stay at Mangyeo Gaekjan for a few days and think of a solution.
Since the original purpose was to go on a honeymoon with Namgung Hwaran, we had set aside plenty of time for sightseeing, so there was no need to decide everything in one day.
Hongran gave up the best room in the guesthouse for the group.
I tried to pay for it, but she refused, saying it was a treat for herself. So before we left Dongdongho, we roughly agreed to purchase items through her.
While I was leaving my position, I saw Hongran looking at Namgungmu with meaningful eyes, and after consulting with Namgung Hwaran, I decided to remove the leader Namgungmu from work the next morning.
‘I need to get rid of the pain, cancer.’
When the sun had completely set behind the mountain and darkness had fallen on the ground, I carefully opened the window of the guest room.
Namgung Hwa-ran had been tormented so much just a little while ago that she was in such a deep sleep that she wouldn’t even notice if someone picked her up.
Hwiiingㅡ
When I opened the window, the wind that blew past Dong Dong-ho’s surface gently entered the room.
The wind seemed a bit chilly, so I covered Namgung Hwaran with a blanket and took myself out of the window.
chin.
Thanks to his small body and unmatched strength, he was able to land on the floor as if he was performing in a circus.
Baek Geon was first seen coming out into the street and looking around with his vision strengthened by his internal energy.
After hearing information about the coveted dharma tool from Hongran, I suggested that we lure Baek Geon and steal the dharma tool.
He too must have noticed me standing in the middle of the street and came towards me.
“I came out first. You weren’t caught, right?”
“Of course. Are you saying that I am confident in my knowledge of the law? Minho, why did it take so long? Were you caught by Sojeo named Namgung Hwa?”
“It’s a little late because I had to let him sleep soundly. Let’s not ask unnecessary questions and just go quickly. If you want to come back before sunrise, you have to be busy.”
“No… He told me to show up on time first… ”
Ignoring Baek Geon’s muttering complaints, we headed to the point where the Yangtze River and Dong Tong Lake meet.
When the guest was close, he walked carefully, making the sound of stepping on sand, but as soon as the distance increased, he used Gyeongshinbeop to move quickly.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
‘I definitely learned it quickly.’
I thought as I glanced at Baek Geon, who was running alongside me.
At a glance, Baek Geon’s running posture seemed much more stable than mine.
I used high-speed thinking to correct the path of Nie Ying Yue Ungying in situations where he stumbled or encountered rocks, but Baek Geon moved naturally as his feet touched the ground, as if he was heading to where he was supposed to be.
We didn’t know how long we had to run, but it wasn’t until the night scenery became boring that we finally reached the point where Dongdong Lake and the Yangtze River connect.
