“You can just leave like this.”

“Hmm. Please take care of your stomach.”

“Evil.”

I quietly left the enemy camp. Currently, I was a prisoner escaping from the garrison, but the familiar-looking guards and patrollers passed by, pretending not to see me.

They were members of the Red Army who knew my identity because they had excessively suppressed me.

Should I say they are my dedicated agents?

Anyway, I left the garrison without being greeted by familiar enemy members.

Currently, all factions of the Apostolic Alliance have no choice but to be alert to the movements of the Red Army. The Sokryeong faction withdrew from the Sadyoryeon, and Amryongmun even captured Munju’s children.

It would not be surprising if there were Safa factions already monitoring the Red Army. In their eyes, Yong-maeng is just a scapegoat set up by Lee Seol, so they won’t particularly care, but they still have to be careful.

I walked quietly down a mountain path in the middle of the night.

The dependent faction officially withdrew from the Apostolic Alliance.

I also heard a rumor that Dokgo Iseol was promoted to the position of Somunju of Amryongmun.

When I thought about the Dokgo-seol theory, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth, but… I guess it was an illusion. Because now I am not Yong-maeng, but Hocheon-an.

While walking along a mountain path in the dark, where not even the moon shines, I quietly sorted out my part about being Yong-blind.

The climax is nice.

Even though I was walking down the mountain path in such a dark place without any light, I didn’t fall or trip.

As I was walking along the dark path, someone spoke to me next to me.

“What are you thinking about?”

It was Hyuk Kirin who knew that I would escape from the garrison.

“Just. As I walk along this path at night without any moonlight, I feel that I have risen to a new level.”

“Hehe, I think I know what it feels like.”

Hyeok Kirin smiled and agreed.

“I also once reached the peak and felt like I had somehow conquered the night. I was so proud that I walked around the mountain path at night.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes. It must have seemed cool to the priests, so there was a priest who followed me for a walk at night, spraining his foot and rolling over. Because of that, night walks were prohibited.”

“Haha.”

“Soon, I will show my true self to Samae.”

I felt puzzled by Hyuk Kirin’s words.

“Doesn’t Sojeo Yeo Il-ye know the identity of Hyuk Kirin Daehyup?”

“I think you can get a rough idea. I have seen Samaewa for a long time, but I have never seen her like this.”

“I see.”

“Samae is deep inside. Since I know that I am a cross-dresser, I may have thought about wanting to see the female form, but I have never made such a request. It’s probably because they were considerate of me.”

Hyuk Kirin seemed quite excited about meeting Yeo Il-ye for the first time in a long time. As I was walking down the street listening to various anecdotes between Hyeok Kirin and Yeo Il-ye, dawn began to rise.

“Oh, I see it over there.”

From a distance, a raincoat began to appear. I could see the black cat waving its hand vigorously, as if it had spotted me and Hyeok Kirin.

The eyes of the group, who were each looking around, were focused in this direction. Although it was a long distance away, I thought as I watched each person express their own happiness.

The infiltration of the Sokryeong faction, which was long and short, is over.

The group’s aftermath was quite complicated.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop~”

“No, black cat Sojeo…the head…”

The black cat seemed to be happy to see Hyukgirin after a long time and immediately hugged him. Hyukgirin was astonished by the black cat’s white hair.

“That happened. Don’t worry, your hair color will come back soon! Anyway, it’s been a really long time!”

“Ahh, haha… Nice to meet you too.”

The black cat nuzzled its face into Hyeok Kirin’s cheek and made a fuss.

“Uh…um…”

Yeo Il-ye showed a complex expression, not knowing how to react when she saw Hyuk Kirin not disguised as a man.

“It’s been a while.”

“…Yes, I am.”

After spending some time alone with each other, the fortune-telling group Sajejigan, who have many stories, returned as usual.

“In Moorim, this is Hyuk Kirin, known as Okryong Credit Union Hyuk Kirin.”

“I am a member of the party.”

“The gender of the teacher, Hyeok Gi-rin Daehyeop…”

“Yes, I know. Don’t worry. I will keep your secret.”

It was decided to reveal only Hyeok Kirin’s gender to the Party Doyeon and Party Soyeol and hide his identity. The fact that the great disciple of the Jeomchangpa was actually a woman and the fact that the great disciple of the Jeomchangpa was actually the princess of the imperial kingdom were two completely different stories.

Anyway, we had a simple meal, unwrapped the seafood and learned some face masks. The black cat clung to Hyukgirin, and Yeo Il-ye laughed at the sight of the black cat and Hyukgirin.

The two people have become subtly different after the clash at the police station. As soon as the lubricant named Hyeok Kirin came between them, the two also seemed to become more comfortable with each other.

“Um.”

Tang So-yeol also had unusual eyes for Hyuk Kirin.

Judging from the way he keeps wiggling his hands, he seems to be looking for an opportunity to touch Hyeok Kirin’s cheek.

“Well, the teacher seems like a pervert.”

“It’s noisy, disciple.”

It’s so great to see him trying to use expedient means to get the hang of something that could have been done by just steadily building a friendship and gaining someone’s liking…

If this is typical of Party Soyeol, I thought he was a person who lives a difficult life.

Dang Do-yeon, who, except for the matter of the Bicheon carriage, is a truly solid person of common sense, opened his mouth with a wry smile at the sight of Hyuk Gi-rin monopolizing everyone’s attention.

“So what do you plan to do now? Wasn’t it revealed that the dependent faction withdrew from the Apostolic Alliance and that other factions pressured the dependent faction?”

The attention that had been focused on Hyeok Kirin was focused on me again.

It was definitely time to clearly decide on the next option. Due to the threat of being the chief, the dependent faction even withdrew.

“Hmm.”

Although the original purpose of wasting time was achieved… it is certainly unfortunate that the current situation makes it difficult to just back away. Because it’s a situation where you can use a card called Jeokgwidae.

Although our group now included a number of Chojeoljeongs, we were in a situation where we lacked the strength to do anything against the Daemun factions representing the region.

However, this time, with the joining of Hyeok Kirin, more precisely, the joining of the Red Ghost Army, that strength has been filled to some extent.

It is public power rather than force, but power is power anyway.

I turned my head towards Hyeok Gi-rin.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop, have you heard anything about where the Red Army is moving?”

Meeting me may not have been Hyuk Kirin’s plan, so Hyuk Kirin must have also had a plan to do something using the Red Ghost Army. First, let’s listen to the plan.

“I heard you are heading to Imchang.”

Lim Chang. Is Imchang the home of the Five Readings?

Certainly, the Odokmun is a sect that would not be surprised at all even if the government forces attacked it.

They make money by distributing and cultivating all kinds of illegal drugs.

“Misreading…”

Misreading.

Like the Tang family, it is a sect that specializes in poison. Rather than simply poison, it deals with a variety of undercover drugs. They deal with Chunyak, a regular customer of Norupyo Martial Arts, and drugs that can make even a martial artist addicted.

“Hmm.”

When the misreading was mentioned, Dang Do-yeon and Dang So-yeol’s faces frowned.

The Five Dogs Gate is often talked about along with the Tang School in that it is a school that deals with poison, but in fact, the difference in level between the Five Dogs Gate and the Tang School is striking. Comparing it to a warrior using a sword, it was as if the people of the world were pitting a top-notch expert against a top expert.

From the point of view of a peak expert, how absurd would it be to be pitted against a top-notch expert with a significant difference in skill.

Tangmun probably feels the same way.

There is another reason why the Party does not like misreading.

Tang family is very careful when using poison. However, this is not the case with misreading. In the Tang family, Dokdo, which is used as a final weapon, is used only when it feels like it, so how can the Tang family look kindly on the Five Dogs?

It is no exaggeration to say that all the bad prejudices about poison were created by the Five Dogs, but since it is the Party that suffers from people’s prejudices, it should be seen that regardless of political faction or faction, the Party cannot look favorably on the Five Dogs.

“If the next goal is misreading, I agree.”

In a rare instance, Dang Do-yeon spoke strongly.

“It is not a bad opinion, as the opportunity to achieve one’s goal by taking advantage of the imperial army’s movements does not come easily.”

“Because there is a Dang So-yeol Sojeo and a Dang Do-yeon Sojeo, you will be able to deal with the poison of misreading.”

The companions also expressed positive opinions. It seems like everyone has no major complaints about targeting misreading.

I also thought it wasn’t a bad idea to hit the misreading question.

“Then let’s move to Imchang.”

“Um.”

The next planet is Imchang.

We moved to attack Odogmun, one of the factions of the Apostolic Alliance.
