“You must never deviate from the route arbitrarily. Just follow the instructions.”

The guide’s polite tone of voice.

That alone showed that what happened at the door earlier was effective.

He didn’t dare treat this person carelessly since he made even the head of the receptionist sweat.

“Sure.”

Bang So-un smiled and answered.

He knew why the guide said this.

As expected, the party house would be full of all kinds of traps and secrets.

These are terrifying traps that, if you take even one wrong step, will turn you into a blood clot due to the activation of poison and memorization.

In a word, it is a dead road.

The guide is supposed to guide you on the way to life to avoid that evil.

Tuk.

Jang Il seemed to feel the same way, so he gently touched Bang So-un with his elbow and started writing with his fingers on his back.

-Is it okay if I remember it like this?

Even if it is only a part of the path, knowing the location of the path may be helpful when secretly taking actions in the future.

Jang Il seemed to think so.

but.

-You’re naive. Do you know that the traps and secrets of the Tang family in the world are at that level?

Bang So-un seemed to have different thoughts.

That’s because he answered with his finger on Jang Il’s back.

-yes? What does that mean?

-Why do you think they use engine control on ships? This is to make the trap constantly change. Life and path will become path, path will become path and path, and another path will become path and path. That is a truly scary trap.

-Huh, constantly?

Jang-il’s eyes widened.

-okay. Of course, constant change does not mean that there is no regularity. There must be regularity. That way they can avoid it. However, it is impossible for outsiders to understand the vast regularity.

Bang So-woon decided based on the information he heard from Eun Hwa-young.

This is a field of traps for the Tangmun that even Haomun, the two major intelligence organizations, does not dare to understand.

As Bang So-un had guessed, Tangmun’s trap field was an extremely elaborate trap that varied depending on the road and time.

The conclusion that it was impossible for outsiders to understand was extremely correct.

Jang Il also had a glum expression as if he had grasped the reality after hearing Bang So-un’s words.

-… … okay. That would be impossible.

-okay. To outsiders.

-yes?

-But what if you are an insider?

Bang So-yun twisted the corner of his mouth and smiled.

-uh?

Jang Il soon understood what he meant and his expression brightened again.

-okay! If only we could get hold of Dang Se-hwa, the Hwanhon Dokbong, who is our goal… … .

-no no. That’s not it.

-yes?

-The Hwanhon Dokbong is not something that can be obtained so easily. Plus, this is her master bedroom.

-What do you mean by that?

-There is an order to solving everything. First of all, one of the party bitches must be eliminated somehow. Only then will the way be opened.

As expected, it was Bang So-un.

He knew from the beginning that it would be impossible to target large prey right away.

Dang Se-hwa is a member of the Tang family.

There was no need to think about how strictly guarded she was at the party gate.

Although it may not be revealed overtly, there was no doubt that the guard soldiers hiding in an unseen place were keeping an eye on Tang Se-hwa.

Are you targeting that kind of person right away?

A dangerous thing to do.

There was no way the cool-headed Bang So-un would do something that had such a high possibility of destruction.

‘I have to somehow get my hands on a Tangmun bitch.’

A tool that knows information only insiders know.

There could be no tool more useful than that in achieving the goal.

Jang Il also seemed to realize Bang So-woon’s thoughts and narrowed his eyes wide.

-Oh, as expected, master. The master had everything in mind.

-Heh, yes. But for now, just stay quiet and respect yourself. Because it’s not something that can happen just by moving around randomly.

-Oh, well, I don’t know where the prey is.

-right. Understanding comes first. I’ll take care of that myself. Just focus on doing things that will never raise suspicion.

-yes? But how can you do it alone… … .

Jang Il tilted his head.

Bang So-un is weak in martial arts.

It must have been very difficult for Bang So-un to figure out something on his own.

But does that mean they move the cut flower stand that comes with them?

That’s not easy either.

It is difficult to carry out proper espionage activities in the royal family’s living room, and if Jeolhwadae is caught doing such a thing, the charges are immediately directed to the head of the party, Bang So-un.

It means that it is an action that carries great risk.

However, Bang So-un seemed to have his own thoughts.

-Are you going to be alone? We already have two useful horses.

Bang So-woon lets out a meaningful smile.

Jang Il immediately understood the meaning of that smile.

-Aha, I see, indeed.

Nangung Hwaran and Zhuge Qinghe.

Two useful horses.

No, it’s not useful.

Because they were two female masters who could be manipulated as they pleased without the risk of arousing suspicion on the Golden Dragon battlefield.

If you use those bitches… … .

A faint smile appeared on Jang Il’s lips.

-Hehe, then I will just trust you, Master, and remain as quiet as a rock.

Jang Il, seen from Hangzhou Wulin, is a silent escort, as big as a bear and as heavy as a rock.

What’s more, he was given a nickname that only those in the know would know, Seok-woong (石熊).

Of course, it was only known in the local area.

In any case, Jang Il knew very well that behavior like Seok-woong was needed here.

-Okay, I’ll let you know when the time comes.

When their silent conversation ended like that.

“This is the place.”

The guide’s steps also stopped.

***

“This is a very poor treatment.”

Jang-il clicked his tongue as he looked at the accommodation shown.

Still, it wasn’t shabby since it was the gate of the four heavenly temples, but that was it.

It was an accommodation that could never be considered above average.

In the eyes of Jang Il, who lived in the second largest and most comfortable room in Geumryong Battlefield, there was no way that was enough.

“Young Master tried to stop me from making any noise, but I think it’s still not enough.”

“Haha, it’s probably a bit different than that.”

Bang So-un said with an expression that he didn’t care.

“Yes? Is it something else?”

“In the first place, good accommodations would have already been prepared for the old family and the five generations.”

Gufileilbang and Odaese.

They are the heavens of political factions and are the most important guests.

It was quite natural to treat them.

In “… I understand that, but I don’t think it’s the only good accommodation in a mansion like this… … .”

Jang-il scratched the back of his head.

“It has to be there. But will you give the same treatment to the Queen Mother and the common people? If there is no distinction, it is not treatment.”

Words that cut to the core.

Jang Il had no choice but to agree.

“… … That’s right.”

“Rather, this level is just right. If we had been treated unfairly, we would have felt uncomfortable and suspicious.”

Bang So-un smiled faintly.

“By the way, you bitches, just stay quiet here.”

“Yes, big master.”

The cut flower stand that accompanied them answered politely.

“However, do not miss any suspicious movements around here and be thoroughly aware of them. Each and every time zone.”

“Yes, big master.”

This is the tiger’s mouth.

If he stayed still, nothing would happen, but it was natural for Bang So-un, who had no intention of doing so, to keep a close eye on the surrounding situation.

“Master, could it be me?”

“Hey, just unpack and wait leisurely. The guide will come again. The start of the Yongbong Branch meeting is definitely today.”

***

After unpacking all the luggage as Bang So-un had thought, another guide came by.

“I will guide you to the meeting place.”

“Before that, let me ask you one question. Wouldn’t it be okay to have at least one escort with you?”

“Yes.”

“I see. Please guide me.”

“Then this way.”

Bang So-un followed the guide along with Jang Il.

Tuk.

Jang Il wrote something on his back again.

-It’s a shame you’re not a bitch.

If she were a girl, she would have planned to do the work right away.

Of course, that plan went wrong before it even started.

-There’s no way you’ll get that lucky that easily. Don’t be impatient. Because the opportunity will definitely come.

Bang Soun was calm.

Because I know.

That a cool-headed hunter never misses his prey.

Jump and jump.

How long did it take to walk like that?

It seemed like I walked for quite a long time.

This meant that the Tang family’s mansion was large and spacious.

However.

-There aren’t too many people.

Jang Il wrote the question that came to his mind on his back.

For a family as big as the Four Thousand Dangmen, it is normal for there to be a lot of people.

But strangely, there weren’t many people in sight.

It was like looking at a fallen family.

It was natural for Jang-il to be filled with doubts.

On the other hand, Bang So-un seemed to have already figured something out.

-Do not see what you see. I’m sure he’s keeping an eye on all the people coming and going wherever he goes from somewhere invisible.

Jang Il flinched after hearing Bang So-un’s words.

-… … It really is. There is no reason why people cannot be seen like this.

So I was convinced.

-Whoa, wait a minute! So, they’re all watching us chatting back and forth like this… … ?

My eyes widened and I flinched again.

-What does it really have to do with it? It’s not like I can find out what they’re talking about. Those idiots will probably laugh at me for sharing a secret conversation like an idiot without knowing that everyone is watching.

-… … That just feels bad.

-Hehe, be bold. They are the ones who will eventually be trampled under our feet anyway.

The calm Bang So-woon.

It was then.

Finally, the guide’s footsteps stopped.

“This is the place.”

A place where unmanned people, which are completely different from before, are standing next to the door like a mountain.

The place beyond was supposed to be the location of the Yongbong branch.

‘at las.’

Bang So-yun felt a strange tremor of emotion.

He was only the successor to a third-rate country.

He rose from the son-in-law of the Geumryong Battlefield to the position of chieftain, and eventually reached this position.

It was now possible to face those who were so high in the sky that it was difficult to even look up at them on equal footing.

Since Bang So-un is a human being, he cannot help but feel this.

But I also know.

That this is just the beginning.

“Let’s go in.”

The door opened.

‘Let’s take a look at how great these kites are.’

With a crooked smile that almost disappeared, Bang So-un finally stepped into the open door.
