Episode 219 I don’t want to end up like this.
Daeho felt a sense of relief as he watched Ji-saeng forcibly swallow the poison.
There is one more person in the same situation as him.
‘Is this how you treat the subordinate of the second-in-command of the Apostolic Alliance, Yalulhan?’
It was truly a sight that was hard to believe.
Then naturally another question arises: Who on earth are these people?
Geommugeuk said to Jiseng.
“If you don’t take the medicine every day, your internal organs will melt and you will die. You will probably experience the greatest pain a human can experience. So if you want to scream, scream.”
The sword dance relieved Ji-saeng’s blood. Ji-saeng’s mouth, which was shut like a clam, did not open.
Ji-saeng was so shocked and confused that his mind seemed to have gone blank. He too had the same thoughts as Dae-ho.
‘Who the hell are these people and me?’
The next moment a thought crossed his mind.
‘Oh! Is this a loyalty test?’
When I thought about it that way, it occurred to me that it might be so. Blow the whistle on Meng’s secrets, and he will torture you and test your loyalty.
But the next moment, his gaze turned to his four cold, dead subordinates.
‘You’re testing them by sacrificing them?’
That couldn’t be true. Then why on earth?
At that moment, Geommugeuk approached and handed me an unexpected box.
“Open it.”
When Ji-saeng opened the box, there were three top-quality night liquors inside. These night liquors were the ones that Geommu-geuk had received in the past after saving the Golden Jangju and his daughter and grandson.
Ji-saeng couldn’t understand what was happening at all.
Just then, Geommugeuk spoke.
“Bring it to the real Ji-saeng. I know your groom is the real Ji-saeng.”
The fake Ji-saeng was so surprised that he couldn’t say anything.
“You were trying to kill us and take this, weren’t you?”
But I never imagined I would receive it like this.
“Either you just give us this as we tell you, or you give it to us and tell us everything that happened. The choice is yours.”
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
Why give yourself a choice?
“Know this and choose. The poison you ate cannot be cured anywhere. Only he has the cure.”
The Poison King was just sitting there, fanning himself gently. He didn’t pay any attention to this matter.
“Oh, and one more thing, think about what your master will do if you reveal the truth. Will he risk his life to come to us and negotiate in order to save you? He will think that he will have to give you back these three night liquors, and also give you other things.”
Ji-saeng’s expression remained stiff throughout the story. He knew best. What choice Ji-saeng would make.
“Swear allegiance and die, or give him the night liquor and live. I’m not telling you to kill him. I’m just telling you to give him the night liquor.”
“Are you trying to harm the elder?”
“Wouldn’t that be better for you? Perhaps the higher-ups will put you in that position to replace Ji-saeng.”
“!”
I would be lying if I said I had never thought about this situation before. Maybe it was because it was an opportunity that came from the worst of circumstances? That sounded even more appealing.
“We take turns worrying.”
The sword dance didn’t give him time.
‘You’re going to save me? You’re going to give the night liquor to the old man? Why on earth?’
He was so flustered that his head wasn’t working properly.
Ji-saeng came out of the building as if he had been kicked out and walked to the carriage in the yard. The real Ji-saeng was sitting on the coachman’s seat as usual, blankly staring up at the night sky.
The fake resident got on the carriage.
“let’s go!”
The carriage departed. The real Ji-saeng didn’t care that his immediate subordinates who usually followed him were nowhere to be seen. He thought he would stay and deal with the body of the Iron Inspector.
The sound of a real life story came flying in.
-What happened?
-It’s been resolved.
Jisaeng gave the box through a small window leading to the horse’s back.
Ji-saeng knows. A real Ji-saeng would never lose his wealth to save himself. Even if he worked under him for a hundred years, that would be a truth that would not change.
The horse’s owner opened the box containing the night liquor and smiled brightly. It seemed as if his two eyes were being sucked into the night liquor.
Even at this very moment, the fake Ji-saeng was worrying.
‘What on earth are their intentions?’
Why are you giving me a nightcap like this? Why on earth?
But the moment I said that it was resolved, it became irreversible.
Even if he reveals the truth too late, he will be killed just because he had even a fleeting thought of betrayal.
The carriage returned to their residence carrying the two disciples’ conflicting feelings.
* * *
There is a moment when Jisaeng returns from being a groom to being a real Jisaeng.
It was like that when I met Yalulhan, and it is like that right now.
A secret location located in the basement of the stable.
Everything he had was in a space of about ten pyeong.
There was a small chair in the middle of the room, and dozens of the finest nightclubs were displayed on display shelves on all sides.
It was the fortune he had accumulated throughout his life.
Ji-saeng added three more night liquors to his collection. His hands were shaking. He should have been indifferent after accumulating this much money, but he was enjoying this moment.
With each addition of the night dart, he felt the joy of being alive. Nothing else gave him so much joy. Especially when he turned off the lights and saw the night dart glowing in the dark, he would scream like a madman.
For this joy, he lived a ruthless life. He had to be even more cruel and brutal because he had to give money to Yulhan. Guilt? I don’t think I’ve ever had one. When someone mentions guilt, this is the first thought that comes to mind. Who told me to live like such a retard? If it’s unfair, you can live like this too.

As he was falling into ecstatic joy today, Ji-saeng felt a presence behind him.
When he turned around in surprise, there was someone standing in front of the door. It was the fake Ji-saeng.
The fake Ji-saeng was only now able to find out.
Why did they give the night liquor to the real Ji-saeng? They were waiting for the moment when the night liquor was brought here. In order to find out where this secret storage was. How on earth did they find out that I was collecting the night liquor?
The real Ji-saeng was so surprised.
This secret space beneath the old and shabby stable was a place that no one would have guessed. Who in the world would have guessed that treasure was hidden in such a place?
Moreover, to enter this place, you had to correctly operate secret devices installed throughout the stable in succession in order for the door to open.
Of course, Jisaeng looked around several times before entering. There was definitely no one. With that fake Jisaeng’s skills, he wouldn’t have been able to get that close. Unless he had good night vision like an animal, he wouldn’t have been able to know what he was doing even if he did.
‘f*ck! f*ck!’
I felt a surge of guilt, having let my guard down for so long without anything happening.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
betrayal!
If you’ve been preparing for a long time, targeting his property, you might be able to break into this secret place.
Instead of asking how you got here or why you came here.
Shhh!
A dagger suddenly flew from Ji-saeng’s hand. He was a master of the art of flying. Since he didn’t have to carry a sword or a sword, it was easier for him to act as a groom.
The dagger that was flying towards the fake Ji-saeng’s neck stopped in midair.
Someone reached out from behind him and caught the flying dagger. It was none other than Geommugeuk.
The fake Ji-saeng was filled with anger.
I’ve been loyal to him for over a decade. And you’re trying to kill me without even asking me a single question. You should at least ask me why I betrayed you before you kill me.
Behind the fake Ji-saeng, Geommu-geuk appeared, and behind him, Seodae-ryong and Dae-ho appeared.
“These bastards are going to die!”
When he saw the tiger, Ji-saeng mistook the people who appeared for Cheol-geom-saho. In this situation, it was only natural to think so. This fake Ji-saeng and Cheol-geom-saho had conspired to steal his property.
Shhh shhh shhh shhh!
Again the daggers flew from his hands.
However, his dagger, which he boasted of hitting every time, was caught in Geommugeuk’s hands.
Jisaeng was shocked. It wasn’t an attack that even the Iron Inspector could block.
Geommu-geuk did not give him a chance to strike again. He subdued Ji-saeng’s demon blood by digging into the Underworld Treasure. The moment it flashed, his body froze, and Ji-saeng was gripped by fear as he looked at Geommu-geuk standing before his eyes.
“It’s not the Iron Inspector!”
“Of course not. How can someone like the Iron Inspector deal with you?”
The sword dance passed him by and he looked at the display case at the back.
“You’ve collected a lot.”
“Who are you? Who are you?”
When Geommugeuk didn’t respond, sparks of anger flew at the fake Ji-saeng.
“This f*cking idiot! This f*cking moron!”
The fake scholar also shouted back.
“I’ve been loyal to you like a dog for fifteen years! And you’re stabbing me with a knife without even asking why? You should’ve asked me first. Were you brought here under duress? You… you… you f*cking dog!”
The relationship that had been so good was shattered in an instant. The dignity and composure of an elder were also lost.
“You shouldn’t be here!”
“Why not? This is a dirty fortune that I’ve accumulated by stealing, deceiving, and killing. Why can’t I come to a place like this?”
“Did I do that? You did it all.”
“That’s what you’re talking about!”
The two men raised the blood vessels in their necks.
“You pathetic bastard. Do you think they’ll let you live?”
“I will take your place.”
“Do you think Bonmyeong would be so naive? They won’t let you live, and even if you survive, Bonmyeong won’t let you live. Why would I leave you behind and continue my work after I’m dead? We can just clean up everything and start over. Just like we’re making a new dish.”
The fake Ji-saeng couldn’t say anything in rebuttal. It was a fear that had been buried deep in his heart and that he had tried hard to ignore.
“I ended up getting eaten. I was so careful not to end up like this.”
Now, the sword dance has come out to the sighs of the people.
“If you were really anxious, you should have reduced your greed rather than increased your caution.”
The sword dance continued to blow the wind. Now, even the fake Ji-saeng and the great tiger had all subdued the blood and blood. From now on, everyone should shut up and listen.
“This is what will happen here today. You hired the Iron Inspector to protect Shinsunchae. But these guys betrayed you. They were after your property from the beginning.”
Geommugeuk looked back and forth between Ji-saeng and Dae-ho.
“Of course there is a difference in martial arts skills between you two. But that problem can be solved with this.”
Geommugeuk opened a small bottle right in front of Ji-saeng’s nose.
Sssssss.
The smoke from the bottle was forced into Ji-saeng’s nose.
“You’ve been poisoned by paralytic acid. You know that? It’s what your sects mainly use. It’s also a poison that remains in your body when you’re autopsied later. You’re poisoned and you stagger and fall.”
The sword dance moved him like a puppet while the demon blood was subdued.
“At that moment, Daeho stabbed me in the back with his sword.”
Seo Dae-ryong also moved Dae-ho’s body. After placing the sword in Dae-ho’s hand, he moved his body. Dae-ho’s sword stabbed Ji-saeng’s back.
Ji-saeng made a pained expression, but he couldn’t even scream because his blood pressure was under control.
“You’re addicted and have been stabbed by a sword, but you’re not one to just take it. You throw a knife and fight back.”
This time, Geommugeuk took a dagger out of Ji-saeng’s arms and threw it.
The knife went straight into the tiger’s heart. He fell to the ground, dead.
“You succeed in killing the tiger, but the stab wound to your back is fatal. You end up here, dying, watching someone steal the fortune you’ve saved your entire life.”
In fact, Seo Dae-ryong started to pack all the wild liquor there into a sack.
“Isn’t that something you hate more than death?”
Ji-saeng’s eyes were bloodshot and red. He tried to shake his head, telling him not to do that.
“Everyone was taken away from you like this.”
This will not quench the resentment of the countless young people who suffered from the freshwater fish, but I tried to inflict as much suffering as I could.
“I will send someone who is evil to kill you. In the end, the villain will be revealed to be Cheolgeomho. There will be testimony from his subordinates that he tried to hire them, and I will leave Daeho’s body here.”
Ji-saeng seemed to have a lot to say, but Geommugeuk didn’t let go of his anger.
“We’ll take what you’ve saved your whole life. We’ll use it well for you! Thank you!”
Ji-saeng trembled all over. As he died, he was filled with nothing but anger and resentment. Geommu-geuk wanted him to die like that.
Now, Geommugeuk’s gaze turned to the fake Ji-saeng. He was looking at Geommugeuk with eyes that said he would never reveal what happened today.
His face was filled with hope that he could live and the anticipation that he might become a real person.
But the sword dance drama shattered those expectations.
“But there’s one problem with this plan. The Apostolic Alliance won’t think that Ji-saeng was attacked by the Iron Inspector. That’s why we need a plausible mastermind. A mastermind who knows his true identity, can poison him with paralytic acid, and can find out where the secret warehouse is. What do you think? Your right-hand man who’s been with you for fifteen years?”
A look of bewilderment and anger appeared on the fake Ji-saeng’s face. But the words that followed were even more desperate for him.
“Yes, that’s right. You’re the one who runs away with this night liquor. And they’ll never find you again.”
The fist of the swordsmanship slammed into his chest, and with one blow, his insides were shattered and he died. The swordsmanship had no intention of sparing him, who had committed so many evil deeds. He would be buried in a place where he could never be found.
The dying Ji-saeng looked at the fake Ji-saeng’s corpse with a pleased expression and laughed. It was a bizarre sight to see him laughing while bleeding from his mouth. However, he was not destined to die laughing.
At that moment, Seo Dae-ryong, who had been waiting on one side after collecting all the night magic, let out a sigh and spoke.
“Is this always the end of the right arm?”
“My right arm is smart, so I don’t think it will suffer like this.”
“If you keep saying such pleasant words, I won’t be able to stop this dangerous right arm of yours, right?”
“If you go over there, everyone will suffer like this.”
After whining like that, Seo Dae-ryong approached the dying Ji-saeng.
“But why do you keep looking over there? When you’re so busy trying to die?”
For a moment, Ji-saeng was shocked. He suddenly vomited blood from his mouth.
“Why is this so suspicious?”
If he had just looked at it, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. But Ji-saeng looked at the wall with a look of regret. It just so happened that Seo Dae-ryong noticed that.
After Geommugeuk and Seodaeryong nodded to each other once, they began to examine the wall.
As Geommugeuk slowly scanned the wall, something touched his fingertips, and a refreshing, clanking sound was heard.
At that moment, Ji-saeng felt as if the sky was falling down. It was a greater despair than when he had previously been robbed of the night liquor.
Although he was unable to speak due to his blood pressure, the shape of his mouth was saying this.
‘That just won’t do.’
Jieeeeing.
The floor in front of the wall opened up and something began to rise.
