Chapter 157
Episode 157
“What is it?”
“So… So…”
“So what!?”
Duakchil trembled. I don’t know why I had to feel so down
for reporting something that I didn’t do, but
I couldn’t even speak properly due to the blistering energy rising from Chu Moon-won’s body.
His eyes seemed to have changed into that of an animal.
“They say they are moving the liquor to the King’s side. It looks like he probably made some kind of deal with Hong Won-chang….”
“If you are Hong Won-chang, do you mean that guy from Aeyang?”
“Yeah!”
“Damn it!”
How on earth could the owner of the Jinhwan Trading Company have ties to someone like Hong Won-chang?
An ordinary government official would not even care, but Hong Won-chang was someone who was trusted by the king and was highly trusted not only in the Honam region but also in the central region.
Going to Wangbu with someone like that?
And that too with alcohol?
In short, what does it mean if it is not to drive out this scandalous family from Honam land?
Pap deuk-!
My teeth were ground.
A woman from the Hoyeon family would not have done all of these things.
Then, only one person came to Chu Mun-won’s mind.
“Never let them go to Wangbu! Kill Hong Won-chang or anything else! And right now, drag the cub in front of me! ”
“All right!”
Duakchil quickly left the room.
Looking at the back, Chu Mun-won took a deep breath.
Maybe it was because I was angry, but my anger was boiling over. I was so anxious in an instant that I couldn’t come to my senses.
It shouldn’t be like this. It was a power that I had come to control, but I couldn’t be swayed by it again.
Chu Mun-won twitched the corner of his mouth and laid down on the chair.
The irritation that soared did not subside easily.
I don’t know who it is, but I will never leave you alone if you dare to fight.
‘I will kill them all again and again so that not even a trace remains.’
Chu Wen-won’s eyes burned red.
The procession of Hong Won-chang and Geum Eun-hak and their party heading to Wangbu was quite strange.
It seemed like they had organized a commercial trip, but there were only two guards attached to the top, and the rest were made up of police officers.
It seems clear that he is going uphill, but why is he a police officer?
Even with Hong Wenchang standing in the center,
people looked at the procession strangely.
It didn’t look like they were being taken away, and it looked like the police were escorting them on a commercial trip.
Moreover, if traveling uphill, it would be normal to move on the main road, but they were moving towards a small road with few people.
It has already been about an hour since the procession left Agyang.
The capital of Honam was Jangsa, and Wangya’s residence, Wangbu, was also in Jangsa.
Normally, it took about 2 o’clock to travel from Agyang to Jangsa, but since this was a story about traveling on the main road, the speed of the procession moving along the road was much slower at the latest.
“Even if I can’t do it, I have to go for three or four city visits. It’s much faster if you take the main road…”
“It was Confucius Dan who told me to go this way. “If you have any complaints, tell them.”
Namgung Sohye also sighed deeply.
Why take the difficult path when there is an easy path?
It was not advisable to travel on a route that made it easy to encounter bandits.
Nevertheless, Dan Woo-hyeon chose this path.
‘I threw the bait so you’re asking me to come?’ That’s definitely what it means.
According to the art of war, it is best to win without fighting, but it seemed like those words were not in Woohyeon’s mind.
‘Still, it would have been a bigger problem if a fight had broken out on the street.’
The main street was a place where many merchants and people came and went.
Because it is a safe and fast way to travel.
Therefore, if a fight broke out on a street with many people, damage was bound to occur.
On the other hand, Soro, which was sparsely populated, was suitable for fighting.
Namgung So-hye held a sword in one hand and was alert to her surroundings so that she could strike at any time.
Dan Woo-hyeon told him to be careful, so he will definitely come.
She already trusted Dan Woo-hyeon to the point where she believed anything he said.
“What on earth does this drink have to do to this extent?…”
She, who was wary of her surroundings, sighed as if she couldn’t understand.
Are you trying to kill someone with just a bottle of alcohol? I don’t know where he lived, but I thought he was really crazy about alcohol.
“Haha, I was expecting this from the moment I first took on the job.”
Geum-Eun-Hak smiled softly.
From the moment he decided to follow Dan Woo-hyeon, it was as if he had already given up his life.
Also, when it was decided to bring in the Hoyeon family, it was thought that it would inevitably clash with the scandalous family.
“Aren’t you scared of gold stocks? “I might die.”
“How can that be possible when such a beautiful Soju Namgung is by my side protecting me?”
“Thank you so much for that.”
Knowing that these were empty words, Namgung Sohye did not take them at face value. But there was no change in the fact that it was a life-threatening task.
Even though he was trying to pretend to be calm, Geum Eun-hak’s eyes seemed a bit nervous.
Nevertheless, the way he walked resolutely made me think that he must be quite a courageous person.
“By the way, when are you planning to get married, Namgung Soje?”
” yes?”
At that time, an unexpected voice was heard from behind.
Hong Won-chang was wearing military uniform instead of the official uniform he usually wore, and had a large sword on his waist. It was more than four times as wide as a regular sword, so it was difficult to call it a sword, and it was also strange to call it a sword.
In fact, he liked the sword so much that he didn’t take it off his body.
“Wedding? “Who?”
“Who are Namgung Sojeo and our lord?”
“Eh?!”
Surprised, Namgoong Sohye opened her eyes wide.
Even Kwon Moo-jin, who had not paid any attention until now, turned his head and looked at Nam Gung So-hye. The story that just came out was that shocking.
“That… what?”
“Weren’t you getting married?”
“Well… that can’t be right…
“But they are a pretty good pair.”
“Thank you so much… for that.”
Namgung So-hye opened her eyes with a sigh and a dissatisfied expression. Of course, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested in Danwoo-hyeon, but that didn’t mean I was thinking about marriage.
Moreover, isn’t that person’s personality a bit odd?
It was far from Namgoong Sohye’s ideal type.
He must be good-looking, have enough money, be tall, have a strong martial arts skill, and sometimes make people feel good… ‘But he’s
Confucius!’
While thinking about her ideal type, Namgung So-hye quickly shook her head when Dan Woo-hyeon came to mind.
Even when he thought about it, he put his head down in the horse’s mane and trembled, as if he had never felt so embarrassed again.
“haha! “It’s good to be young, Sojeo.”
“It’s… noisy.”
The sight of Namgoong Sohye looking shy seemed amusing, and laughter could be heard from all over the place.
At that time, Kwon Moo-jin, who was going ahead, grabbed the reins.
“Stop.”
It was because I felt a presence.
The sensation of gaze pouring in from all directions was sending a tingling warning throughout my body.
The laughing police officers looked around and Namgung So-hye and Hong Won-chang drew their swords.
“Who are you? Come out.”
Kwon Moo-jin frowned and took out a small sword.
I felt quite a lot of gaze.
To put it mildly, he seemed to be over twenty.
‘Are they top-notch experts?’
Maybe his level was lower than that, but his life was amazing.
At that time, something flew in with the sound of the wind breaking.
Kwon Moo-jin quickly jumped from his horse and hit the gun that flew at the police officer.
visor!
It’s an arrow.
The arrow flew quickly and aimed precisely at the point between the eyes of the police officer. Judging from the way he launched the arrow, it was definitely not a skill he had tried once or twice.
‘But it’s not a professional assassin.’ A professional assassin would have hidden his killing skills a little better.
Clap clap clap—!
At that time, I heard applause from one side.
Soon, the bushes shook here and there, and one by one, two people began to appear.
They all glared at Hong Won-chang and his companions with murderous gazes and pointed their swords at them.
It seemed like he had no intention of backing down.
Kwon Moo-jin looked at them with a somewhat arrogant expression.
He was wearing black clothes and a mask.
Since they were attacking the prefecture in broad daylight, it was natural for them to cover their faces.
I even felt empty at the sight of it being so standard.
“What is this…”
Even Namgung Sohye opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
Even assassins these days don’t go around like that.
“What’s so funny?”
The man who appeared to be the leader muttered in a somewhat subdued voice, perhaps feeling uncomfortable at the sight of the two people laughing at him.
However, Kwon Moo-jin and Namgung So-hye got off the horse without answering.
Hong Won-chang also got off his horse and stepped forward.
The police officers were on guard, but if the opponents were martial artists who were top-class experts, their heads would be cut off in the blink of an eye and they would be of no help.
“You guys, don’t step out and protect the top.”
“yes!”
Hong Won-chang nodded with satisfaction at the pompous answers from the police officers.
Although they are inferior to the martial arts people, there are probably no other guys as trustworthy as these.
He took a short breath and grabbed his sword.
It was my first real fight.
Hong Won-chang, who is over 40 years old, learns martial arts and takes his first steps as a martial artist.
So, even though I felt uneasy, I believed in the martial arts that Dan Woo-hyeon had taught me.
“You guys! Do you know who I am and block my way?”
“Hong Won-chang, the prefect of Akyang… Do you think you came here without knowing who you are?”
“Well, that’s probably true.”
Hong Won-chang laughed helplessly, and Kwon Moo-jin and Namgoong So-hye also made awkward expressions.
From the beginning, he probably didn’t even care that the other person was a government official and went out with the intention of killing him.
At that time, Namgung Sohye took a step forward.
“I’m annoyed that it seems like Confucius’s will is going so well, but… be prepared. “Not one person will be able to return safely.”
“Hong… You’re the bitch whose liver went overboard!”
“You’re so brave compared to your protection skills. “You can’t believe you said that to Namgung Sohye!”
Her eyes lit up and she ran away as quickly as possible.
It was a new law of the gungshin bullet type.
Just as one of the startled attackers was about to swing his sword, a sword path was drawn along with a flash of light.
Sigh!
The blood that was sprayed wet the faces of the embarrassed men.
But what surprised them even more than that was…
“I’m Namgung Sohye?!”
