Chapter 161
“You’re a dumb friend.”
At the words of the man, India (人屠), Temur’s talk became chilly. It’s because I felt the life lurking like a dagger in the calm voice.
‘They say he’s a human butcher, what kind of man is he going to live??… : But he couldn’t withdraw like this.
The tribe members who had brought him for this occasion and the Han Chinese bandits were watching his every move.
‘Damn it.’
The honor as a tribal chief and the remaining reason collided.
To draw the sword or not. What saved the conflicted Temur was the sound of laughter heard the next moment.
“ha ha ha! You are also the heroes of the world. A small person like me would be too scared to get involved.”
Temur looked at the owner of the laughter.
“who are you?”
“You mean me?”
The gray-haired middle-aged man smiled softly.
Had he not put an eyepatch on one eye, he would have looked like a good-hearted merchant.
“I have two names, one I threw away when I left my hometown, and the other I met in the meadow made by friends.
Which of them are you curious about?”
Temur did not have to answer. It is because India put his identity in his mouth instead.
“Black sand, do not talk nonsense.”
“Ooh. Where do you come up with something like this? It’s just getting interesting.”
“It’s not fun at all.”
“That’s why you hear the butcher. Tsk tsk.”
Realizing the identity of the middle-aged man who was exaggerating his tongue, Temur and Chingen widened their eyes.
“Black Death? Black Death?”
“Are you him?”
Heuksa, a middle-aged man wearing an eyepatch, nodded coolly.
“That’s right, I am the Black Death.”
“”……!”
..!”
“”……!”
..!”
Black Death. Made up of only Han people, they are among the strongest in the harsh grasslands.
Although the number is only one hundred, each one is known to be a master of horseback martial arts and possess excellent martial arts.
To think that the leader of the Black Death Army was such a frivolous man.
Chingen stuck out his tongue.
‘That’s why the vicious India didn’t respond much to the sound of the butcher.’
It was possible because it was a black death. Any other person would have had their tongues pulled out and their throats cut off by India.
but… … .
“Why are you here?”
Temur, who had allayed his surprise, cast a suspicious look at Chingen’s question.
“I’d like to ask about that too.”
The Black Death smiled at the blatant wariness.
“Have you not received a letter by any chance?”
Temur and Chingen were shocked at the same time.
“Correspondence?”
“How do you know that?”
“Because I am the one who sent the letter.”
“No way. Obviously, the seal of Cheonpoongdanism was stamped on the letter.”
Unlike Temur, who was confused, Chingen, who had finished grasping the situation to some extent, looked at the black sand with calm eyes.
“What is your relationship with Cheonpungdanju? Where is he now?”
“You must be Chingen. I heard that you are calm and quick-witted, unlike a young chieftain.”
“That is not the answer I want.”
“Your eyes are fierce. Only then can I speak because I am afraid. But, well, since you’re here, it’s not a secret to hide, so let me tell you.”
The black warrior, who had been shivering, continued.
“Cheonpungdanju is following my orders and wandering around Daedong, attracting attention.”
Command.
What that meant was clear.
‘I’ve been fooled so far.’
Cheonpoongdanju is clearly under the control of the Black Death. It means that Cheonpungdan, which has a head count of 500, is nothing more than a sub-organization of the Heuksadae.
Temur and Chingen exchanged glances without speaking.
‘Heuksadae is strong enough, but if you add Cheonpungdan… … ?’
‘It’s not enough to change the landscape of the grassland.’
A dark smile formed on the lips of the black priest watching them.
“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”
“Honestly, what’s embarrassing is the truth.”
“What the hell is your plan?”
“What is goong-goong? It’s just that we want to make a deal that benefits each other. Would you have known if you had read the correspondence?”
Temur and Chingen. The two recalled the contents of the letter they received two weeks ago.
In the letter that flew tied to the arrowhead, there was a short line written on it.

If you want to be khan, come.
Cannes! Ruler of the plains, great king with many warriors.
It’s a word that makes your blood boil just thinking about it. It was even more so for the two young and strong tribal chiefs who dreamed of revival of their clan.
“Right now, the grassland is divided into quarters. It’s hard to believe when you think of the brilliant empire your ancestors built in the past.”
Heuksa stirred the mayuju and continued.
“If you help me, I will help you too. Armaments, horses, and riches. If necessary, I will also send my subordinates. Assemble the Fragmented Meadows. Bring your enemies to their knees and be promised absolute obedience. I can guarantee you that within ten years you will become Khan of the Steppe.”
“It is easy to say.”
Unlike the sarcastic Temur, Chingen was calm.
“Why us?”
“Because he is young, capable, and full of egoism.
The legitimacy of inheriting Khan’s lineage also played a role. Anyway, my proposal is simple.”
The black sand pushed hardened horse manure into the gradually dying flames. A flash of fire flashed in his eyes.
“Would you like to plan a castle with me?”
* * *
“castle? You mean Shanxi?”
“Then where will you be?”
Only then did the two chiefs get a rough idea of his intentions. It is a trick to try to break through the vacuum left by the collapse of the Hangsan checkpoint.
The problem was that it was not a particularly attractive proposal to them, considering that they had grand ambitions such as Khan and support.
“Everyone’s expression is not young.”
Chingen replied with a disapproving face.
“If you’re thinking of robbing the northern part of Mujugongsan, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“why?”
“Because Taewon and Jinga are moving fast. I heard that while branch offices are being set up all over the North, the government is also coming out.”
They also have a set line.
If you attack the upper ranks, you are a bandit, but if you invade the castle and plunder the civilians, you become a rebel.
If tens of thousands of punitive forces were dispatched to quell the rebellion, there would be no way to counter it.
“I don’t want to be kicked out of my hometown. I don’t want to be killed like a dog like Pungyang.”
Temur also nodded at Chingen’s words. He was a warlike character, but the reality had to be acknowledged.
“Even Fengyang didn’t touch the coffin. I was killed by the young people of Taewon Jinga.”
“Fengyang’s subordinates reached four hundred.
Among them, those who returned alive are less than one-tenth.”
At that time, India, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, suddenly opened her mouth.
“Pengyang is the one who ran away from the grassland? am.
Even the guys below were nothing more than hurriedly gathered thugs.”
“Have you ever seen Fengyang?”
“A couple of times. He was no big deal.
Without a doubt, among those gathered here, there is no one weaker than him. Oh, including that jerk, of course.”
“This bastard!”
“Lower your voice. Before you gouge out the uvula.”
“The Han Chinese only lived on his mouth. Do you think you can?”
“of course. Even right now.”
Sureureung.
It was the time when the swordsman appeared from the waist of the two.
“That’s true. Do it in moderation.”
There is no one who will ignore the black death, regardless of age or power.
At the end of a tense fight, when the two of them put their weapons at the same time, Black Death laughed as if he was having fun and told Chingen.
“Don’t worry about the coffin. It will end with a problem between Taewon Jinga and us.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wouldn’t it be fine if I just killed it like lightning so that no one could react?”
“Do you think that will work? Shanxi Province is already in the hands of Taewon Jinga. Even if we break through Daedong, by then the main force of Taewon Jinga and countless small and medium-sized factions will be waiting.”
“What if we hit it before we get together?
Just pick out the head.”
“… … what?”
“After the four halls, the leaders of all literati in Shanxi Province will gather at the true value of Taiwon in the upcoming Wondan. We entered not through Daedong, but through Hagok. It’s just charging toward Taewon.”
“… … !”
“If you minimize your armament and secure a grassland horse with excellent endurance, you can get 500 li a day. If it’s short, you can hit the enemy in two days, if it’s long, in three days.”
Hitting an opponent’s head across half of Shanxi Province.
Indeed, Chingen’s voice trembled at the bold and reckless plan.
“Now, wait. What if they noticed in advance and defended themselves?”
“Bangbira??… Exactly what situation are you talking about?”
“As I said, Taewon Jinga branches are springing up one after another in the north. If you advance while fighting one by one, your mobility will decrease, and if you ignore it, you will know the news before we even arrive.”
“Don’t worry about that part. We only need to destroy one branch, the Hagok branch.”
“What about the other branches?”
“By that time, they will be fighting fiercely in Daedong.”
“Daedong… … ah. no way!”
“Cheonpungdanju will do its part. On that day, I told them to rampage without mercy.”
Cheonpoongdan is a powerful figure in the northern highlands that everyone knows.
If the number of heads and individual skills were better than in Jeokpungdan, it would have been more, not less.
“In half a day, the branches of Taewon Jinga in the north will be empty.
There is an urgent fire, do you have time to look back?”
It’s literally the word black. The branch will gather soldiers and send them to Daedong to block Cheonpungdan, and the real main force will cross the river and go south.
Trampling everything in the way with a horseshoe… … .
“Also, Taewon Jinga is currently concentrating on stability in the north. As far as I know, there may be one hundred warriors in the family.”
The voice of the Black Death continued.
“It is a place where all schools in Shanxi Province attend. No matter how great Taewon is, it is impossible to feed and sleep them all. With all the remaining warriors in the main house, would it be two hundred?”
Chingen’s throat was tight. The combined forces of those gathered here are ridiculous at 300 people.
No, if you scrape it all the way to the bottom, it’s possible to double that.
‘Fights between masters are not pushed back.’
black sand. India. Temur and Chingen.
The four gathered here are all excellent peak masters.
According to the Indian saying that they have met the deceased Fungyang in person, there is no one who is inferior in martial arts to Fengyang.
‘However, Taewon Jinga’s Jincheon sword and San Seojamryong finally managed to defeat Pungyang after working together.’
This is a story that has already been confirmed as fact.
Thanks to Fengyang’s defeat of the Hangsanho, also called Nogangho, rumors were circulating that the pirates of the northern highlands were stronger than most first-class Murim people.
‘Maybe this… … Hoksa stared at Chingen, who was quietly thinking, with a smile in his eyes.
“How are you?”
Temur, who was listening with spittles, shouted.
“shit. What if I told you about such a crazy plan and asked? I will definitely do it!”
“I will answer too.”
When Chingen, who had finally finished his thoughts, agreed, India intervened with a wicked laugh.
“I don’t need anything else. If you leave that thing to me.”
“of course. I promise.”
The black soldier with a smile on his face looked around at the three of them and said.
As long as this proposal was accepted, he was implicitly appointed chairman.]
“Everything I get from this job is exactly quartered. If anyone disobeys this, I will pursue them to the ends of the world and slit their throats. Do you have any objections?”
None.”
“me too.”
“Keep the promise you wrote in the letter.”
“of course.”
Hoksa, who responded coolly, poured Mayuju into an empty bowl.
“Now, since we made a decision, let’s get drunk today!”
“Whoa!”
“Let’s drink! Bring more drinks!”
Pleasant cheers erupted from all over the guesthouse.
It was a time when everyone was drinking in an atmosphere as hot as Mayuju.
Awesome profit.
In the midst of the loud noise, the door of the inn opened and a person appeared.
