Chapter Index

    *** ***

    After briefly disciplining the members of the Red Devils, he informed Kangchumoru that Hyeokkirin, the princess of Yuya, was here.

    “Meet the princess!”

    “It’s been a while. Gangchumoru military officer.”

    “I will consider it the honor of my third life to serve the princess like this!”

    “Did you hear the story from Ho Cheon-an?”

    “Chung! I heard that the instructor is secretly following the princess!”

    Hyukkirin nodded obediently.

    “I know that military officer Kangchumoru has a responsibility. However, it is more urgent to sort out the situation in Okgye, so please help me and Hocheonan Ronin for a while.”

    “Just give the command! All of the enemy forces, including Kangchumoru, will support you!”

    As I watched Kangchumoru and Hyeokkirin face each other, I felt my stubborn doubts melt away.

    From the first time I met Hyuk Kirin in Okgye, I thought it was strange.

    Hyeok Kirin is busy living two lives. I can’t believe I met Hyuk Kirin like that not in Sichuan or Luoyang, but in Yunnan.

    I always wondered why Hyuk Qilin was in Yunnan, and it seemed like he came in person with the Red Army to put pressure on the Yunnan Sapa.

    I recalled the conversation I had with Hyuk Kirin on the way back to Kunming. Hyeok Gi-rin said that she would seize both lives as a princess and a martial artist.

    If Hyeok Kirin had truly decided to break down the wall between the two lives, it would have been possible for him to use the power of his power to attack the four factions.

    “Our identity is a secret from our subordinates.”

    “But…that’s how the princess is treated…”

    “You don’t have to worry because we took everything into consideration. Hehe, first of all, I have to take the pressure off of Officer Kangchumoru’s shoulder.”

    “I guess I should make some tea.”

    “Okay, I will do it!”

    Kangchumoru brewed tea with trembling hands. He opened the conversation with the intention of both relieving Kangchumoru’s tension and finding out Hyeok Kirin’s true feelings.

    “Anyway, I was surprised. I knew that Kangchumoru would become a commander one day, but I didn’t know that he was already the leader of the unit.”

    “Hehe.”

    Hyeok-ki-rin laughed lightly, and Kangchu-moru said with a look of emotion towards me.

    “This is all thanks to the instructor!”

    No, whatever I do, it’s all thanks to me.

    “The imperial family seems to have been impressed by the achievements of the Twelfth Division. Not long after I was reinstated as a member of the Imperial Army, I received a proposal. He asked if I would like to lead about 1,000 soldiers and train them in the instructor’s way.”

    But I guess this is to my credit.

    “The intensity of the training was adjusted so that even ordinary soldiers could endure the training if they had the will, and the training process was extended to about 6 months by incorporating the knowledge required for the Imperial Army. It seems that the Empire was also curious about the strength of the Red Army, so I took on this task, although it was a bit unusual.”

    “I see.”

    “Hehe, this is my first time seeing the Red Ghost Squad members in person. In a short period of time, I was truly strong and full of spirit.”

    “ And, here comes Gwangyoung!”

    Kangchumoru is dying because of Hyeokkirin’s praise. If it weren’t for Hyuk Kirin, he looked so happy that it wouldn’t have been surprising if he rolled around on the floor and screamed loudly.

    Anyway, after being bullied by me, receiving compliments from Hyeok Kirin, and drinking tea, Kangchumoru finally regained his composure and started a public conversation.

    “The headquarters raided this place to arrest the Daeam Black School and the Calligraphy and Painting School, which could be said to be the starting point of the Okgye Incident. Is the instructor also involved in this situation?”

    “Hehe, can we just say that there is a connection? Instructor Ho Cheon-an is the instigator of this situation.”

    “Yes?”

    Kangchumoru looked at me with an evil gaze.

    “This incident came from Instructor Ho Cheon-an’s mind, so he must have a picture of it all in his mind. Well, the plan is to give Yunnan Jeilhwa Lee Seol the title of Sogaju of the Dark Dragon Gate.”

    “….”

    “It’s a plan I don’t like very, very, very much, but… well, instructor Ho Cheon-an’s resourcefulness is acknowledged by the main woman. I’m going to delegate full authority, so why don’t you show me the plan. Let’s see how far I can help Lee Seol.”

    “Kuhm…”

    Although he was disowned by Hyeok Kirin, he was given the authority to move the Red Army with Hyuk Kirin’s cooperation.

    “Then….”

    I opened my mouth and revealed the plan in my head.

    *** ***

    The investigation has begun.

    “You took the entrance exam for Dark Dragon Gate, but failed?”

    “Yes, that’s right. After that, I tried to go to Okgye and make a new start.”

    “Then aren’t the Great Dark School and the Calligraphy and Painting School colleagues? Why did the gang split up and fight in the prison?”

    “Well, that’s because of my brother’s suggestion.”

    “Brother? Who are you talking about?”

    “You are brave. Brother Yong-maeng persuaded us. If you follow his words, you can enter the Dark Dragon Gate. So, there is a commotion in the secular world…”

    The new recruits talked about the settings that Yong-maeng had made them familiar with from the moment they were put into operation.

    “So, you acted under the command of Yong Yong-maeng, and Dok-go I-seol was taken under your wing because you seemed useful because you were notorious in the secular world? Does this mean that Lee Seol had nothing to do with the crime?”

    “That’s right.”

    While such interrogation was going on between the new members and the members of the Red Army, Kangchumoru was also talking alone with Lee Seol.

    “I want to see bravery.”

    “It’s impossible. Because Yong-maeng is the prime suspect now.”

    Kangchumoru saw Lee Seol and twitched his eyebrows.

    ‘Instructor…’

    Kangchumoru, who saw Lee Seol’s beauty up close, understood the feelings of the enemy rebels who had excessively oppressed Hocheonan yesterday.

    i envy you!

    Even if you make eye contact with a woman like this, it would be a lifelong saga, but with such a beauty being so obsessed with Ho Cheon-an…! Kangchumoru felt an unknown anger welling up inside him and his fists trembled.

    ‘I’m really jealous! That Sinbi-myeon woman was also of great beauty…!’

    Lee Seol is so beautiful that even the sight of her biting her lip makes me shiver! Kangchumoru opened his mouth, feeling a coldness in his side.

    “Honestly, we believe that this investigation itself is meaningless.”

    “…What are you saying?”

    “Dongdaemun faction, Namdaemun faction, Kwonbeophoe, Gakbeophoe, Baeksa faction, Heuksa faction….”

    Lee Seol felt like she wanted to close her eyes as the names she had heard of in the family battle were mentioned one after another.

    “Dokgoyoran, Dokgoidu, Dokgodaemak…they all sent warriors to Okgye. But…Dokgo Iseol, isn’t it strange that you were the only one who didn’t send a military officer?”

    “I am not interested in clan events. You saw with your own eyes that I was living alone, occupying a corner of the staircase, but you were suspicious.”

    “Ha. Is that so?”

    Lee Seol also looked at Gangchumoru with cold eyes at Gangchumoru’s cold reaction. The confrontation between the two people, who had been having a snowball fight for a while, ended when Kangchumoru opened his mouth.

    “You have to admit what you have to admit. I understand why you show such confidence. The actions taken in Okgye, the time of retreat, and the consistent statements of his subordinates… I will admit that they are of a different class from the ragtag group of people captured in Okgye.”

    “….”

    “More than anything, he made a truly amazing move. You secretly left compensation money at a store where furniture and items were damaged?”

    Lee Seol clenched his fists.

    ‘Brave…did you really see this far?’

    It was the first time he had heard of this story, but as soon as Lee Seol heard Kang Chumoru’s story, he realized that it was a trick that Yong Maeng had planned to prepare for the current situation.

    “It is true that they are currently my subordinates, but I have never heard of what they did in prison.”

    “….Tsk.”

    Sensing Kangchumoru’s disapproval, Lee Seol smiled inwardly. Kangchumoru’s discomfort means that things are not working out as he intended.

    “If you really paid compensation to all the stores, it would be difficult to hold them responsible for destroying the stores in Okgye. It’s a strange form that I don’t know about, but I’ve already paid compensation.”

    “Then…”

    “Hmph, there’s nothing to like. But that doesn’t mean the crime disappears.”

    There is a high possibility that Yong-maeng and the new recruits will be released!

    It was when Lee Seol thought that and was immersed in joy.

    “Congratulations. Except for that person called Yong-maeng, there is a high possibility that you will end up with a fine, so live well with your subordinates.”

    “….What do you mean? Why are you so blind?”

    “Hmph, are you stabbing me?”

    “Stab at me!”

    “It’s no use pretending to be indignant when you made Yong-maeng a sacrifice from the beginning.”

    Lee Seol looked blankly at Gangchumoru. From the beginning…you were a sacrificial group?

    “What are you talking about! Didn’t you just say that you can’t ask for the crime of destroying the prison world?”

    “Accidental crimes and planned crimes are very different in nature. It is difficult to prove the intention since others just say that Yong-Meng ordered it and claim that they did not guess the plan. However, since Yong-maeng admitted that he made and planned all the plans, he can prove his intention.”

    “….like that!”

    “Nothing will change if you make that expression. It’s unpleasant to act so obvious, so please leave.”

    Lee Seol was pushed out of the room by Kangchumoru’s order to congratulate the guests.

    “Brave…”

    Lee Seol sat down on the spot and simply repeated Yong Maeng’s name.

    Actually, I also knew this theory.

    Since something has happened so badly, Yong Yong-maeng and his subordinates will not be safe.

    However, Yong-maeng told her that nothing would happen and told her to trust him. When Lee Seol heard those words, his steps stopped. If you are truly intelligent, wouldn’t you be able to solve all problems? It was because I had that thought.

    ‘I…was foolish.’

    Lee Seol lowered her head and looked at her hands and thought. You stupid guy. When Yong Yong-maeng showed his trustworthy side, he was a fool who did nothing and was drunk with carefree thoughts of winning Yong Yong-maeng’s heart.

    Lee Seol, who had been sitting there for a while, raised her head.

    “Even now…we have to move.”

    It was impossible to let the imperial army capture Yong Yong-maeng like this.

    Lee Seol stood up.
