The road to Bongyang. Namgung Hwaran and I were sitting in a carriage and traveling slowly.
Since it was not a long distance trip like before, but an outing to see Bongyang, just north of Hebi, we were not in a hurry.
Jungwon is so large that even a simple outing would take several days if you go at a leisurely pace like this.
Although all of the party members had learned martial arts, the reason for using the carriage was simple. No matter how much she learned martial arts, there was no way the head of the Namgung family would allow her daughter to walk on her own two feet for a few days.
Thanks to this, I too was benefiting from Namgung Hwaran.
It’s fun to see nature, but it’s even more fun to see it by riding a carriage instead of walking.
However, I was worried that the fun in the carriage would be halved.
‘Should I have brought Maria…? ?’
It has been half a year since I entered Tuseonhyeophaengrok and trained, and an unexpected problem arose.
Immediately pregnant.
Yes. Recently, the topic that Namgung Hwaran was interested in was pregnancy.
Namgung Hwaran got married in his mid-twenties, which is quite late considering the martial arts era. Originally, there was no one she could marry because of her constitution of nine yin, body, and energy, but I appeared and we were able to get married.
From her perspective, she must have already been worried about the late marriage, but she was starting to worry little by little because she had not gotten pregnant even though they had been sleeping in the same room almost every day for over half a year.
‘If it had been a while ago, I could have asked Uiseon, who visited the Namgung family, to check my pulse or make medicine… ‘
However, Euiseon left the Namgung family a few months ago and was wandering around the central plains again.
Namgung Hwaran’s constitution was resolved by marrying me, and it was because there were no longer any sick people in the Namgung family for her to worry about.
So, she couldn’t ask Uiseon for help with her inability to get pregnant.
To find out the location, you had to find the Ark of Openness that was connected to her, but that also required a cooldown of about half a year. The cooperation between Uiseon and Open Government took place every year at a time when beggars suffered from colds.
First, I had to gently suppress Namgung Hwaran’s expectations.
“There may be some method to black poetry. I understand what your wife means, but it would be better to trust the family’s medicine house rather than the unidentified products sold at places like that.”
“I know. You shouldn’t use unreliable methods for something as important as pregnancy. Do not worry. Above. We just need to try a little harder.”
“That’s right.”
For some reason, I nodded when I saw Namgung Hwaran regaining his appetite.
Fortunately, Namgung Hwaran was only asking out of curiosity, so he wasn’t too discouraged. She said that it was not particularly unusual because hands were rare in the Namgung family from the beginning.
In a way, Namgung-myeong, the current head of the family, also has no children except Namgung Hwaran.
Anyway, so far it hasn’t really mattered that I’m a seedless watermelon. On the contrary, I could say that it was an advantage because I could cum with peace of mind every time I had sex.
Still, in the end, we have to see the descendants who will continue the Namgung family line someday. Neither Namgung Hwaran nor the adults of the Namgung family seem to be taking it too seriously now, but if they reacted after a problem occurred, the picture would probably not be good.
‘… Next time, I’ll have to talk to Maria and get her treated before I come to Tuseonhyeophaengrok.’
I thought so to myself. And if Namgung Hwaran was having a hard time with this problem or showed signs of being impatient, he would immediately return to reality, solve the problem, and come back.
There were no special problems until we arrived at Bongyang. Still, public security was good around here, perhaps because the Namgung family had a lot of influence.
The bandits who suddenly appeared last time were an exception.
“This is Bongyang?”
Namgung Hwaran stuck his head out of the carriage and looked around the street.
Three members of the Cheonpung Sword Team, including Captain Namgungmu and Baek Geon, who had now almost become our personal bodyguards, were guarding the carriage.
During the half-year that I was training, leader Namgungmu officially married Hongran, whom he met on a previous trip. And Hongran was building a new mansion in Hebi and living with Namgungmu.
So, in a way, the inclusion of Namgoongmu in the escort staff for this outing separated the newlyweds. However, Namgoongmu willingly accepted the mission, saying that it was thanks to our honeymoon that the two were able to reunite.
It was a good thing for us.
Because Namgungmu, a living guidebook, had enough knowledge to satisfy Namgung Hwaran’s curiosity.
“That’s right. Although it is not as big as Hapbi, where the Namgung family is located, this is also a fairly developed city.”
“Which clan manages this place?”
“The one that is located in Bongyang is the Danlisega. Like the Namgung family, he is a member of a political faction. Danlisega is uniquely famous for its arm technique similar to Sacheondangmun. Among them, the non-grooming technique, which is a martial arts technique, is said to be not inferior to the arm technique of Sacheondangmun.”
“It’s secret swordsmanship… ”
‘Is it a sword throwing martial arts skill?’
Since I had never seen it in person, I had no idea what kind of martial arts it was. This probably does not refer to the art of sword fighting, which is something that only some of the Hwagyeong can do. If that were the case, the greatest family in Anhui would have been the Danli family, not the Namgung family.
‘If I get the chance, I’d like to see it in person.’
We unpacked our bags in a suitable guest room and gathered for a meeting.
“… … .”
After briefly exchanging glances with Namgung Hwa-ran and Baek Geon, I opened my mouth to Namgung Mu as a representative.
“First, I have something to confess to Captain Namgoongmu.”
“Confession?”
“Actually, the reason we wanted to travel to Bongyang was because we wanted to see the black poetry that is held here. Since we hid this fact from the elders of the family, Chief Namgoongmu must have thought it was just an ordinary outing… I am telling you this because I cannot continue to hide the fact from Captain Namgoongmu, who is in charge of the group.”
I had to tell Namgoongmu honestly about the situation. He is responsible for the safety of the group on this trip. If a problem arises, Namgoongmu is the first to be reprimanded.
So, since I had tricked him and brought him here, I had to tell him the truth now. That way, there was less chance of problems occurring.
‘If we keep the purpose of our trip a secret from Namgoongmu, we will have to elude him and secretly watch the dark poem. If we do that, it will be a big problem if he suddenly makes a fuss about looking for us who have disappeared.’
Namgoongmu seemed to have roughly grasped the situation after hearing my brief confession, and he glared at Baekgeon and the other two Cheonpunggeomdan members and said,
“… Recently, I heard swordsmen talking about black poetry. Still, I didn’t expect something like this to happen… ”
“Sorry.”
Phew~
Namgoongmu sighed briefly at my simple apology and nodded. He realized that there was no use in trying to stop him.
Instead of saying no, he issued a request.
“If you are going to Heuksi, there are some things to be careful about.”
“What should I pay attention to?”
“The fact that there is a black city in Bongyang managed by Danrisega means that they are turning a blind eye to the black city being opened. So, no matter how much you are Namgung, you have to follow the rules of heuksi in heuksi.”
“That… !”
The innocent Namgung Hwaran and Baek Geon were startled as the time had not yet ripened.
However, I was calm because I roughly guessed it from the moment the story of Danrisega came out of Namgungmu’s mouth.
Basically, in order for dark vision to be activated, one must have the support of a sect.
Even though it is a market where people gather to avoid the law and trade, they must have their own rules to maintain such a market.
If the ruler of Bongyang is the Danlisae, Bongyang’s black poetry clearly exists with the connivance of the Danlisae.
There is no black poetry in Hapbi, where our Namgung family is firmly established. There is no one in the central world who does not know the name of the Namgung family, so there is no need to receive dirty money from the black city.
‘But not many people can close their eyes for a moment and say no to the money they earn.’
Perhaps Danlisega is looking at a pretty sweet story with a dark eye.
Baek Geon asked with a puzzled expression.
“We are from the Namgung family. Is there anything we should pay special attention to?”
Baek Geon’s words contained two meanings: that we are not reckless and will do something that will cause trouble, and that even if a problem arises, there is a need to be careful because we have value in our name.
I snorted inwardly at Baek Geon’s words.
‘I don’t know about the latter, but I don’t think it’s the former. If the treasure is found, there is no way Baek Geon can tolerate it.’
Before coming here, I heard that most of the goods traded in Heuksi would be stolen goods, so it was clear that I would have no qualms.
Namgoongmu nodded, completely unaware of Baek Geon’s intentions.
“Of course, there won’t be any major problems. No matter what anyone says, the force with the greatest power in Anhui Province is our Nangong family. However, it is also true that there is no need to give members of the same political faction a reason to hold a grudge. And if it is limited to Bongyang, the influence of Danrisega is not that small.”
“Is that so?”
“As evidence, the place where their manor is located is where Emperor Taejo (太祖高皇帝) attempted to build an imperial castle.”
“You built a house on the site of the imperial castle?”
Namgung Hwaran asked with a surprised face. It was such an amazing story that a family manor was built on the site where the imperial castle was supposed to be built.
“I heard that it was an award received by one of the ancestors of the Danrisega family for his great service to the imperial family.”
“Oh… ”
To roughly summarize Namgoongmu’s story, it means that although the Danri family’s fortunes are not as good as our Namgoong family’s, there is nothing good about clashing with them since they are quite successful in their own front yard.
We nodded in unison.
“Okay.”
“I will tell you more details as we move together. So do you know where the black poetry takes place? Bongyang is not a very small city… ”
“… … .”
We had nothing to say since we had only heard one word: Bongyang. I came here believing in the intuition of Baek Geon, the main character, but from Namgoongmu’s point of view, he must have seemed like they were completely helpless.
Namgoongmu shook his head and said.
“… Then, there is a place you should stop by first before going to Heuksi.”
“Where is that place?”
“This is Hao Gate.”
