“Could the real Geumryongjangju have anything to do with that incident?”

Gokwigang, who was galloping his horse, asked.

“We don’t know that yet. However, it is clear that there is a fishy smell.”

Zhuge Qinghe answered.

She was also riding a horse alongside the Gogwi River.

I was on my way down to Hangzhou.

Once Zhuge Ching-ha’s will had been made up, he could not be broken, so he had no choice but to go to Gokwi River.

“Hmm, I see.”

First of all, Gokwigang nodded obediently.

But inside, it was full of doubts.

‘Is that libertine really such a great person?’

Geumryongjangju of Tanggeum was a great man who was most famous for openly flirting with gisaeng concubines even though he had Gangnam Jeilmi as his wife.

Then he commits an insidious and cruel murder?

If you ask me if I feel something, I’ll say yes.

‘Of course, they say humans’ true colors cannot be known.’

After serving as a member of the Murim League’s investigation team for decades, I saw all kinds of people.

Among them, there were those who looked like good men on the outside but were murderers or rapists behind them.

When you think about those guys, it’s something you don’t know.

but.

‘To destroy the Sagongong family, experts are needed. However, there was no information that Geumryongjangju moved with such experts.’

At most, one bodyguard named Jang Il.

No matter how strong the guard warrior was, it seemed highly unlikely that he and Geumryongjangju would be able to wipe out the Sagong family in one night without anyone noticing.

If so, have you prepared experts in advance at the Geumryong Battlefield Gansu branch?

‘No, that can’t be possible. ‘If there was such a movement, there’s no way we wouldn’t have noticed it.’

Even though Gansu has a smaller population than other regions, it is not a region without eyes and ears.

In addition to residents, informants from the two major intelligence organizations, Haomun and Gaogye, are also present.

No matter how secretly you move and how thoroughly you control access, if you move at that level, someone is bound to get caught.

‘Keu, I don’t know.’

In the end, Gokwigang shook his head.

Since Zhuge Qing has the insight to see things others cannot see, he may have really noticed something.

However, the person next to him cannot help but be skeptical.

‘Well, anyway, you’ll find out when you go.’

It was then.

“All, leader.”

One of the investigation team members who followed them spoke to Gokwigang in a dying voice.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I… … Ha, there is a limit. Belly and belly skin are attached to the back skin.”

As the saying goes, a rotting figure.

This was because they continued to march on horseback, even skipping lunch.

“Ugh, me too, leader.”

Other investigation team members also pleaded pitifully.

In this case, even Gokwigang could not keep his mouth shut.

This is because, as a direct superior, you must also take care of the circumstances of your loyal subordinates.

“I, Zhuge soldier.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“The number of subordinates is limited. At this point, I think I should find a place to stay, have dinner, and get some rest… … .”

“Um, sure.”

Zhuge Qinghe also nodded obediently.

This is because I realized that further forced marches were impossible.

Because all the members of the Murim Alliance investigation team would be exhausted.

Just like that, Zhuge Qinghe and his party stopped moving and grabbed the guest cup.

This was the reason why the distance between him and Bang So-un and his party, who were driving the carriage with four expensive Cheonli horses day and night, was bound to widen.

And that difference enabled Bang So-un and his group to arrive in Hangzhou even a few days earlier.

“Wow, here you go, master!”

Jang-il hurriedly came running, pounding.

“Oh, really? Please give it to me quickly.”

“Here it is.”

Jang Il’s large hand held out a colorful pill.

“What, why are the colors so bright?”

“Aren’t poisonous mushrooms, which usually give you a quick feeling when you eat them, gorgeous?”

“Well, that’s right.”

Bang Xiaoyun shook his head and picked up the pill.

“So, if you eat this, you’ll get hooked, right?”

“Yes, you will definitely be hooked. Because it was created by a ghost.”

“I’m a little nervous.”

“You won’t die. Because I trusted you.”

“The antidote?”

“First, they made the poison in a hurry, and the antidote is said to be sent back to Jeonseo-gu as soon as possible.”

“You feel more anxious?”

“Ah, wasn’t that your plan from the beginning? Let’s go with courage.”

“Got it. I lie down.”

Bang So-yun opened his mouth wide, poured the pill into it in one go, and chewed it thoroughly.

and.

gulp.

I swallowed it into my throat.

“Huh, huh?!”

“Why, why are you like that?”

“Woo, wowweek!”

Bang So-un spits out a bowl of black blood.

Jang-il opened his eyes wide and was scared.

“Oh, no, already?”

“Sa, save me! Save me, Jang Il! Wow!”

Bang So-yun vomited out black blood again.

In fact, no one was dying right away.

Even though it was all planned, Jang-il was startled and stamped his feet.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“Save, save… Save me… … Wow! ”

Now, Bang So-woon’s face has completely changed to an earthy color.

Of “, congressman! Everybody, I’ll call a council member right away!”

Jang Il ran out in a huff.

And that day, the Geumryong Battlefield was in chaos.

***

“All, leader.”

“So, are you here? The information is.”

“Yes, that is… … .”

A member of the investigation team reporting information obtained from Hangzhou.

Hearing the report, Gokwigang’s eyes widened.

It was clear that this was not ordinary information.

“… … I get it. It’s an important matter, so go and check again.”

“honorary name.”

The investigation team member left.

And Qu Wei Gang went straight to Zhuge Qinghe.

“Zhuge Soldier.”

“What’s going on?”

“My subordinate has been seeking information, and it seems that the situation is unusual.”

“Isn’t that unusual?”

“It seems like the details of Geumryongjangju are serious.”

“Serious?”

Zhuge Qinghe’s eyes gave off a strange look.

“Yes, I have been bedridden recently, but there is no sign of any improvement, and in fact, it seems to have seriously worsened. It’s a life-or-death situation… … .”

“Critical condition? That can’t be possible.”

Zhuge Chenghe stood up.

The face was filled with doubt.

“First of all, according to the report… … .”

“Let’s go right away.”

“Yes?”

“I need to check it out myself.”

“Ah, yes, we should prepare to leave in one hour… … .”

“No, right now.”

“Ah… yes… I understand.”

Zhuge Qinghe’s footsteps finally headed towards the Golden Dragon Battlefield.

***

“Wow, it’s already chaotic around here?”

“That’s right. Everyone is talking about that.”

“Aren’t you really going to die like this?”

“A person who has suffered from misfortune has such a short life. It’s something the world doesn’t know about.”

“Could it be Bok Sangsa?”

“Yekki, don’t talk nonsense.”

The members of the investigation team whispered to each other in low voices.

Because it was a topic that I couldn’t stop talking about.

Geumryongjeonjang’s position in the martial arts world is by no means small.

This is because financial power is within the reach of one’s fingers.

The news that the young leader of such power was in critical condition was definitely a topic of interest.

“Jegal soldier, I think it’s real.”

Gokwigang also opened his mouth.

“Let’s check it first.”

However, Zhuge Qinghe did not come to a conclusion.

I thought this was something I had to see with my own eyes.

Was there a discrepancy between what you read and reality?

It was a very rare thing.

So, we had to check whether there was really a discrepancy and, if so, why there was such a discrepancy.

“Um, yes. Just go a little further.”

How long did it take to walk like that?

I could see the Golden Dragon Battlefield.

Large front door.

Originally, it would have been normal for guests from the battlefield to come and go without stopping at the main gate.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Golden Dragon Battlefield’s Hangzhou headquarters was the busiest battlefield in the world.

But.

Today was different.

It was a mess, but it wasn’t because of the guests who visited the battlefield.

-No business today. All guests refused.

The doorplate with large letters told it all.

There is no way they can operate normally when the owner is in critical condition.

“People’s expressions are gloomy and their steps coming and going are very urgent.”

As the leader of the investigation team, Gokwigang spoke while looking at the people in the battlefield who were busy coming and going at the main gate.

“He is in critical condition and is not in recovery, so they are probably trying to bring in all the congressmen. Because I have plenty of money.”

A reasonable analysis.

Hoping for a miracle, he was probably trying to summon lawmakers not only from Hangzhou but also far away.

It was possible because there was a lot of money.

but.

Money doesn’t necessarily bring healing.

Because that’s life.

“Um.”

However, it seemed that Zhuge Qinghe still had a lot to think about.

Although Gokwigang and the members of the investigation team did not understand at all.

“It looks like he is definitely bedridden. But.”

Zhuge Chenghe shook his head once.

“Why is he in critical condition? It’s hard to understand.”

“… … Isn’t that something no one can know? Human life is such that a lively young man could collapse and die the very next day.”

“No, there’s no way he could suddenly become critically ill. There must have been signs before then. Nevertheless, Mrs. Hwangbo left her husband alone and came to Anhui to pay condolences. Can you understand?”

“Couldn’t there have been no signs? You can’t really conclude like that… … .”

“I have to see it with my own eyes.”

It seemed like Zhuge Qinghe had already made up his mind.

Qu Yugang was embarrassed.

“Oh, no, didn’t you put it in big letters that all guests were refused?”

“You can’t even refuse a visit to a Murim League guest.”

“Stop, he is in critical condition. Do you want to visit him? Even if it were possible, there would not be such a nuisance if this number of people came into a place that was no different from a mourning house. The Murim League will be criticized.”

“Don’t worry about that. I will go in alone.”

“… … I understand.”

Gokwigang agreed as if there was nothing he could do.

Because I am not a person who will break my stubbornness.

“I just have a favor to ask of Gok Daehyeop.”

“Please? Yes, you can.”

“If I do not show up by the end of the hour, please contact the Hangzhou branch of the Murim League immediately.”

After hearing Zhuge Qinghe’s words, Qu Yugang realized that she still harbored doubts about Jinlongzangju.

‘The Zhuge military is quite capable.’

Even if Geumryongjangju’s true nature is a cruel and evil beast, he would not be able to do harm even if he tried to do so in a life-or-death situation.

I don’t know if it was a lie that he was in critical condition.

Is there even a shred of possibility for that to happen?

“Yes, I understand.”

Even though he thought it was not true at all, Gokwigang agreed.

If the real Yushi does not come out, that is definitely a problem.

“Okay, then I’ll go in.”

Zhuge Qinghe finally walked to the main gate of Golden Dragon Battlefield.
