Chapter 657
The big one is coming.
The intuition that came to my mind at the moment was not wrong. Not too long ago, the old owner of the somen shop, who had been sitting with Heuk-woong, appeared.
‘F*ck.’
A really big one has arrived.
Muttering a curse in my heart, I looked at the old owner.
No, it wasn’t just me looking at him. In an instant, countless gazes focused on him, and a trembling voice flowed from between his dark-spotted lips.
“Bae, Uturi of the Baek tribe. I have been called by the Warchief.”
The Beast Tomb King opened his mouth with a hard face.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face. Who is the author?”
Baeksang winked at him, and the old owner answered coldly.
“The small man is near the west gate of the outer palace.
We are selling noodles. I made it my business for more than half my life.”
I learned a few new things from the old owner’s words and actions.
first. The old owner’s name is Utu Li, and he is a Baek.
second. Unlike the one I saw at the somen shop, Uturi speaks well and has good ears. He is, in a word, energetic. If there was Uturi, a baby longevity in Mt. Jiri, there was Uturi, a longevity of somen noodles in Namman.
third. That Baek tribe old man, correct enough to be colorless in age, he probably told Baek Sang everything he had seen and heard.
fourth last. I guess I’m kind of screwed up.
‘Please understand. The owner here is over nine years old and deaf.’
흑웅 개새끼야.
What he said at the somen noodle shop was wrong even if it was wrong.
‘Sibeol is deaf.’
Darkness is my future.
The owner, said to be over ninety years old, was deaf enough to understand the words of the Beast Cat King ten paces away.
“Uturi, the reason I called you is to confirm one fact. Are there any familiar faces in this room?”
Yes. ,,
At Baeksang’s question, the old owner nodded without hesitation, and I realized that I had to add one more thing to the newly learned information.
fifth. Uturi not only has bright ears, but also possesses considerable eyesight and memory.
The reason I was able to guess that fact was simple.
From the moment I first set foot in the western part, the old owner’s gaze had been glancing at my face all the time.
“He’s a young man standing over there. The tallest and the most well-built.”
Even when he put down the bowl of somen noodles, his hands trembled like aspen trees. For some reason, this time there was not the slightest movement.
That 1 Giral.’
on his finger pointing right at me
I kept my mouth shut, the atmosphere in the audience was agitated, and the script that Baeksang meticulously crafted was running towards the end.
“Are you sure he is? There must be no lies.”
The old owner, who swallowed dry saliva, answered the white statue’s question.
W], for sure. Soin is getting old, but not to the point where he doesn’t recognize the customer right in front of his nose. Her physique was so big, and she was wearing a tiger mask, so it was especially memorable.”
“Right now, if five out of ten go to the outer palace,
will be writing Did you just declare that there is a suspicious person for that reason?”
“No, that’s not it. After wandering around, I sat down and ordered somen noodles, and from that time on, I felt suspicious.”
“Are you suspicious? What exactly was that?”
“So that’s…
The old owner, who had been glancing at me, cautiously continued.
“It’s probably because of the mask.”
“mask?”
“Yes. Why don’t you take off your mask until the end even though you’re eating somen noodles? It’s as if if you show your face, something big will happen.”
Alright, keep going.”
“But later, when I was drinking the soup, it seemed to be frustrating, so the mask was slightly raised. That was the first and last time I saw your face.”
It was then.
If I showed my face openly, it seemed that I would be exposed as a Han Chinese, and if I did not take it off, I would be suspicious.
That’s why I deliberately only masked up to the bottom of my nose
I was eating somen noodles with it on top, but I only put it on for a while at the end… … .
‘I would never have thought that an old man who would do it today would see and remember it.’
At first, excessive vigilance caused suspicion, and later, overlooking the existence of the old owner returned to the current situation.
And Baeksang put an end to this situation with his characteristic calm tone.
“Were you alone?”
“no. I was with a middle-aged man.”
“Another middle-aged man. After that?”
“I left at about the same time, and soon headed for the main street toward the west gate.”
“Do you remember his face?”
to. Of course. I have lived all my life in the outer palace, but I remember it vividly because it was a strange face I had never seen in the vicinity. So did that young man.”
“If that’s the case, it must be a foreign tribesman who came over during the tournament, so if you make a look and investigate it, it will be revealed soon. If so, when did they leave?”
“It was around the time of year, and I left after staying for about one day.
Right now, the Gaegung sets off firecrackers at regular intervals, so I remember them clearly.”
There was not the slightest force in the old host’s answer, and his eyes and tone were full of confidence.
And Baeksang, who got all the answers he wanted through him, nodded slightly.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Go away. I’ll have someone else give me the prize.”

“Go, thank you. thank you High tribe blind!”
The old owner sighed and disappeared.
Perhaps he will receive a very generous reward for his work here. A small stall filled with only three or four customers will turn into a large inn, and the wrinkled hands that boiled somen will count hermits.
However, the opportunity he seized in his old age came back as the worst crisis for me.
“It’s really strange. To think that someone who should have been in the inner palace secretly escaped and contacted an unknown person, and this tragedy occurred right after that.”
“It has already been proven that what you said earlier is a lie, but I will give you one last chance, even if it means thinking about Mt. Will you protest?”
In that short moment when Baeksang’s low voice pierced his ears, countless thoughts crossed his mind.
All of a sudden, Yoseobu was immersed in suffocating silence, and everyone’s eyes were on my face.
It was then.
Namho’s fingers once again hit my back
brushed the .
Seruk.
The road to run away (逃).
It was just one letter, but the meaning Nam-ho wanted to say was fully conveyed.
‘First of all, get out of this place and plan for the future.’
If Nam-ho had mastered martial arts, he would have sent a transmission like this. Perhaps I would have done it had I been in his position.
‘Would things have been better if I had told the truth?’
I answered the questions that came to my mind on my own. it wouldn’t have been
Of course, it may have been a little better than now. But Baeksang prepared thoroughly, and somehow he must have pushed me into the current situation.
You might argue that the old somen shop owner’s words are lies, but… … Well, if Baeksang had been stupid enough to be fooled by those words, he wouldn’t have come this far.
‘Besides, if you’re a master at the level of Baeksang, you’ll be able to tell just by looking at the scars of the killers who attacked us. That most of it is not my skill.’
As long as there was no black bear to prove my words, even if I told the truth, I would only become a proud beast.
‘Well, though, it would have been better than the chest scar from being hit by a grunt.’
After all, it was an outsider. he can’t escape
And even at this moment, the situation was on the verge of a precipice.
Skip.
A subtle noise penetrates my ears beyond the brief silence.
Grains of sand soaked in blood were trampled by leather shoes, and at the same time dozens of fluttering hems grazed the flowers in the garden.
A fortification net completed in an instant centered on me.
At the forefront was Baeksang.
“I will ask again. Any protest?”
it’s a protest
After careful consideration, I answered.
“I don’t do it because it’s dirty. Is this a F*cking bird?”
…
You probably didn’t expect this answer
It seems I couldn’t. Baeksang, who was looking at me with unexpected eyes, nodded.
“Are you admitting your guilt?”
“I admit I lied. I was stupid.”
“In the end, it means that you will deny it to the end.”
“Will you admit it? No, since there is no sin in the first place, there is nothing to admit. It just sucks to step into an unavoidable trap.”
“If you feel unfair, just surrender. I will clarify the right and wrong.”
“I’m sure you will, you stupid bastard.”
Baeksang’s eyes sank deeply at my answer mixed with a snort.
“Then I can’t help it.”
at the same time.
sereung. Tsutsutsutsu!
A dazzling brilliance surged from the pure white blade that had been pulled out like a beam of light. Baek Sang, with his beloved sword dangling from the sword Kang (劍?), took a slow step and opened his mouth.
“Warriors of the South Bay Palace, listen up. ji
From now on, I will do my best to arrest the criminal Jin Tae-gyeong, so even an inch of mistake will not be tolerated,??… .”
and that moment. A roar-like cry that burst out from somewhere covered Baek Sang’s voice trying to continue.
“Baeksang!”
There is only one person among the barbarians who can dare to call the chieftain of the white tribe like this.
“Can’t we all stop!”
期! Aww!
Powerful air waves that press down on all sides.
The Beast Cat King, who stopped the encirclement that was gradually narrowing, with a single word, glared at the white statue with glowing eyes.
“What is this?”
Everyone trembled at the rough momentum, but Baeksang was different. He answered in a calm voice.
“It is as the Princess sees it. I will arrest Jin Tae-kyung, a criminal, here.”
“Did you forget? He is a footnote of the Murim League, and he is a member of Yeolhwamun, our long-time ally.”
“Nanmanyasugung, no one else’s
Is the princess protecting the beast just for that reason?”
“gibberish! That guy is not a beast. Have you already forgotten what happened at Aeneo Mountain? He has no reason to do this. There is no reason!”
“But there are witnesses and clear circumstances that have seen him.”
“that… …
“Everyone here, including myself, clearly remembers the events of Mount Aenye. That’s why I want to bind you despite all the hard work. Of course, if he resists, the condition of life and death will be put in front.”
“Baeksang! ,,
“It is not over yet.”
Baeksang’s cool voice continued.
“If Jin Tae-gyeong leaves this position by force, we will spread the net of heaven and earth (天羅蜘網) throughout southern Manchuria and pursue him with all our might. Before that, the other Han Chinese under my command will set a good example.”
(*
In fact, at Baeksang’s words, which meant that he was willing to go to war with Jungwon, King Beastmyo’s eyes widened, and Ayulmok shouted with a distorted face.
“Uncle!”
“This is a conversation between tribal chiefs, not warlords. The small princess who has no authority, get out of here.”
“But how! How dare you make such a decision alone!”
“It’s dogmatic… …
The small brain-brained Baeksang suddenly raises its head and looks at the sky.
In no time, the thick darkness that had settled in all directions had dissipated, and a bright light was slowly coming in from the west.
“Can you see? It’s already the hour of death. Dawn is breaking.”
“Suddenly, what is that?”
“What would it be like if we started the second day conference right here? Of course, the new agenda… …
五云
The sword in the white statue’s hand lit up a more intense light.
“The Life and Death of Han Chin Tai-kyung.”
and that moment. The sound of a bell that only one person in this world can hear pierced my ears.
belt ring.
