Chapter 121
The battle was so fierce that bodies formed mountains and blood flowed like rivers, but most of the buildings at Hangsan Checkpoint remained intact. like this one now.
I leaned over as if I was falling into a chair.
“I’m going to die.”
Fatigue always follows after a big battle like now.
Physical fatigue can be recovered by leveling up, but mental fatigue can’t be helped.
It’s much worse after coming and going from the threshold of death like today.
‘It was really dangerous.’
Jopil, Jangro, and Pungyang.
I’ve never seen anything good with people who are called peak masters. It’s not once or twice that I think it would be nice to have five lives.
“Captain, you worked hard.”
OK.”
“Ugh, your shoulders are really tight.”
Hyuk Moo-jin came closer and rubbed his shoulder.
Wolhwa and Hyukmujin, who were guarding Cheolmubag from the outside, joined the search for survivors when the work was completed to some extent.
“If I were there, you would know that guy in Pungyang, right?”
“Then, of course you know. I’m sure he would have just died.”
“What, man. Squeeze a little harder.”
Hyuk Moo-jin groaned, but gave strength and squeezed my shoulder.
“Jin Moo-kyung, no, what about the second older brother?”
“I have already taken them apart. Members said they wouldn’t worry. Other injured people are also recovering quickly.”
“okay? Good luck then.”
“Aren’t they quacks? I know that Lee Gong-ja and Cheolmubaek Dae-hyeop received a fairly big prize from me.”
“These are the people sent from Haomen.
Let’s trust our skills.”
In fact, what I believe in is the efficacy of the item, not the members.
Some of them would have already crossed the Jordan River if it hadn’t been for the [Excellent Golden Spear], which is said to heal any serious wound within a few days, and the [Ten Years Sequence], which has an excellent effect on healing internal wounds.
‘I’ve done the minimum first aid, so I’m sure the rest of the council members will take care of it.’
Hao-mun, no, Wol-hwa moved quickly without us noticing. A few days ago, the shrine sent a subordinate back and issued a call-up order to the nearby branch.
Haomen’s reinforcements, which arrived half a day after all the battles, immediately began to catch up.
‘I thought of the back when everyone was looking forward.’
Hao Mun’s reinforcements were formed for relief purposes, not combat.
He brought not only lawmakers, but even workers to Suksu, so his foresight and preparedness alone are tongue-in-cheek.
‘After all, he’s not a normal person.’
Hao Mun was said to be an information organization ubiquitous in the world and at the same time a Moorim faction.
Wol-hwa, who took the position of branch manager at the age of mid-20s in a clan of that size, would not be an ordinary person by any means.
‘Come to think of it, the name Wolhwa is also a pseudonym.’
The real name of Wolhwa, which was identified through Gigam, was Eun Sowol. The reason for hiding the name from us is, well, I think it’s similar to a code name in a spy movie.
What is certain is that turning such a resourceful into an enemy will make you tired.
‘Don’t get too close, keep the line in moderation. Yes, that much is just right.’
Fortunately, it’s not that difficult.
Wolhwa had an inexplicable favor and curiosity with me from the beginning.
Whether it is pure emotion or curiosity as a veteran information trader seems to be seen more closely.
”Mujin-ah.”
“Shall I sleep harder?”
“No, other than that. What do you think of Wolhwa Sojeo?”
“It is pretty.”
“and?”
Hyuk Moo-jin, thinking deeply, answered.
“It is very pretty.”
“… … Massage your forearm, not your shoulder.”
I’m an idiot for asking that kid.
Just as Hyuk Moo-jin was about to reply with a hurt face, the sound of light footsteps slowly approached and stopped in front of the door.
‘Monday?’
no. The energy felt outside the door was much smaller and weaker than that of Wolhwa.
After a moment of silence, an unexpected guest opened his mouth.
“Gongja Jin, may I come in?”
clear and crisp voice. It was Lee So-wol.
When Hyuk Moo-jin left the war, he and Lee So-wol were left alone. I looked out the window at the slowly darkening sky and let out a useless cough.
“greatness. Big hum.”
At this hour, there is no such thing as hard work because you are looking at a woman, and that is, a stunning beauty alone.
Isn’t it the gatekeeper of the Hangsan checkpoint who fought like Cheolcheon’s enemy even not so long ago?
It is said that new wine is put in a new bag, but she is the only daughter of Lee Cheon-baek, who tried to destroy Taewon’s true family, and she and I are involved in a scandal.
What the hell am I supposed to say about this.’
May the souls of the deceased refrain? No, this gets too heavy.
She lost most of her subordinates in a battle with Pungyang, not enough to have left her family a while ago.
After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.
“Did you eat?”

“I know you’ve been through hard times, but at times like this, you need to be reassured… … sorry.”
Shiva, you should just keep your mouth shut.
When I was deeply regretting it, Lee So-wol stood up and bowed to me.
“Lee So-wol of Hangsan Checkpoint greets Eun-gong.”
Something that happened without a trace. Embarrassed by her, I hurriedly got her up.
it’s silver It’s true, but it’s unfamiliar.
“Oh, why are you like this? Eun-gong is a moose”
“no. As a human being, you should learn to receive grace and be thankful.
Eun-gong, please don’t embarrass me.”
The tone is so determined that I can’t stop it any longer.
‘It’s not wrong.’
If it wasn’t for me and Jin Moo-gyeong, the Hangsan Checkpoint would have been closed as of today.
It’s not a big bow, but it’s not enough to erect a statue of us.
Designate today’s date as the ‘Sanxi Jamryong’s Day’ and make it a public holiday for the inspection of Hangsan every year… … This went too far, but anyway.
“Now calm down and take a seat.”
“I will follow Eun-gong’s words.”
“Can’t you stop making that eun-gong sound?”
“Yes, Eun-gong.”
driving me crazy. It was only after Lee So-wol, who responded with her calm face, sat down in her seat, that she finally heard the reason for coming to So-na.
“I’m here to give you an answer to the letter.”
“Correspondence? ah.”
It’s about invitations. On the first day of the upcoming New Year, a summons wearing the mask of a polite invitation to have a meal at Jinga in Taewon.
Now that Taewon Jinga has taken control of the Shanseo Moorim, it is obvious that the future of the Munpa who does not respond to the invitation will not be fun.
The Hangshan Checkpoint, which narrowly escaped destruction, is no exception.
“So what is the answer?”
“I will gladly accept your offer.”
This is an answer I expected well enough.
However, Lee So-wol did not stop there and continued talking.
“In addition, as an apology for the past, I will transfer all rights of the text to Taewon Jinga.”
“right?”
“Yes. All rights to the territory occupied by this gate.”
That means that the entire northern part of Shanxi will be handed over to Taiyuan Jinga… … .
‘This far?’
It is already a known fact that the Hengsan checkpoint bowed to Taewon Jinga.
In the process, Jin Wi-gyeong will demand a lot in the name of compensation, but that doesn’t mean he can’t swallow it whole.
Wolhwa also said something similar in the last conversation.
‘But they feed me by themselves.’
Eun-gong, Eun-gong, but it seems that it is not very nonsense.
okay. After all, gratitude cannot be ended with words. hmm.
“thank you. My eldest brother will be satisfied.”
“In addition to that.”
What is it, isn’t it over yet?
What Lee So-wol took out of his arms and held out to me were three books. I slowly read the title written on the cover.
“Hyeolranggeombeop, bloodrangbobeop. and.”
“Sura Extinction. Swordsmanship and footwork are martial arts invented by my father, and Surah Destruction is Uncle Chul’s secret skill. All of them are outstanding martial arts.”
“The pinnacle of martial arts… … The dry saliva goes to the temple.
One of the things I realized painfully in Moorim is the importance of martial arts. If this is the case with me, who is barely making up for that shortfall by using the system, there is nothing more to say about other ordinary Murim people.
For martial artists, great peak martial arts are priceless treasures.
‘The right to northern Shanxi, and more.’
If the rights possessed by the Hengsan Checkpoint are the branches of a tree, the secrets of the three powers in front of you are the roots.
Lee So-wol is now putting on the scales his father’s legacy and the most valuable things the Hengsan Checkpoint has.
“Is this a gift too?”
“No, this is a deal.”
also. I knew it.
Deal. If it’s authenticity, I’ll accept the deal at all costs. It’s because there are three peak martial arts at stake.
‘What the hell are you asking for?’
wealth? Safety guaranteed? Or something else?
Currently, Lee So-wol, no, the port-san inspection is desperate and in a hopeless situation.
It was clear that even if they offered martial arts at a low price, that would also be a difficult request. I slipped away.
“I wonder what kind of deal it is… … I don’t know if you know, but I don’t have that much authority.”
Lee So-wol stared at me with eyes as clear as a lake.
“is that so?”
“Yes, I don’t have a specific title.
“My thoughts are different from Eun-gong’s.”
“yes?”
“It’s a deal that Eun-gong can decide. Of course, many stories will come and go.”
“It’s a trade that can be exchanged for three peak martial arts… … Then what do we have to give?”
“A person.”
“person?”
In an instant, a smile crossed Lee So-wol’s lips.
It was the second time I saw her laugh, and this time it was no illusion.
“Please marry me.”
“Enough then.”
Moojin Hyuk, who was standing in the front yard of the palace hall, turned around when he heard a woman’s voice behind him. A beautiful woman whose chest tickled just by looking at her was descending the stairs in front of her.
‘It’s a cut color.’
It was dozens of steps away, but it seemed like the scent of flowers was blowing in the cold midwinter wind.
‘Anyway, our captain has a lot of hallmarks.’ Handsome face, the youngest son of the Taewon Jin family, who is recognized by others as the number one family in Shanxi, and is also excellent at martial arts.
When I was with Wolhwa, the word nice man and woman fit perfectly.
In addition, the Hangsan Checkpoint’s gatekeeper has now been added.
Moo-jin Hyuk sighed as he watched So-wol Lee disappear from the distance.
‘It’s been a while, but I loved you. This sozer.’
Hyuk Moo-jin, who returned to the palace, found Jin Tae-kyung, who was half-enthused.
“Chief, why are you like this?”
“captain. Come to your senses!”
When I grabbed him by the shoulder and shook him, the eyes that had been released finally became clear. Hyuk Moo-jin asked with a worried face.
“What happened? Why are you suddenly like that?”
gulp. Jin Tae-kyung, who swallowed dry saliva, barely opened his mouth.
“Mujin-ah.”
“Lee So-wol, do you know how old you are?”
“What is Lee So-wol, Lee So-wol? It should be Munju or Sojeo.”
“If you don’t want to be called the late Hyuk Moo-jin, shut up and answer.”
“… … How old were you? I guess I was old enough to get married.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, thinking deeply, hit his forehead.
“Ah, I remembered.”
“Hey, how old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
Jin Tae-gyeong opened his mouth wide.
“f*ck, was it lunch?”
