Episode 33
“Party gossip poison?”
“Yeah, right…!”
Tang Yeongryeong looked at the poisoned bottle with anxious eyes and said yes. Suddenly, something from his childhood came to mind. At that time, he threatened his maternal grandfather, but the bastard, of course, took action without any hesitation. Then he took the poison and medicinal herbs that were in his arms and put them here and there on his body. Didn’t that make his face look hideous?
If the identity of Hwaryonghodok had not been revealed, Yeon Myeong would have definitely slipped it into Tang Yeongryeong’s mouth. Tang Yeongryeong knew very well how painfully the boy who had been poisoned by the fire dragon died. In the end, not even the body was left properly due to the heat from the fire.
Even if it meant dying, I didn’t want to die like that, so I had no choice but to reveal the identity of the poison.
Meanwhile.
‘You’re a party gossip poison.’
Yeon Myeong was slightly surprised at the identity of the red liquid in the poison bottle and thought it was fortunate. If Youngryeong Tang had been a little late in speaking, wouldn’t this precious thing have been wasted?
For Yeon Myeong, the master of Dokyoucheonggwangsimbeop, extreme poison is no different from an elixir with the ability to increase internal strength. Party gossip poison is one of the most severe poisons even in German literature, so it will certainly be able to significantly increase the reading mania.
Although it was unfortunate that the amount was not large, it was still a small amount of income.
However, Yeon Yeom-myeong did not reveal his inner feelings on his face, but instead tilted the poisoned bottle more towards Tang Yeong-ryeong. Because there were still things to ask.
“What is your relationship with the Zhuge family?”
“Rather than that, ugh. “Please… take this away… please.”
“The answer comes first.”
Tang Yeong-ryeong closed his eyes tightly at Yeon Man-myeong’s resolute attitude. It seemed like if the poison bottle was tilted just a little bit more red-hot dragon poison would pour out at any moment. It seemed as if death was just around the corner.
“…They said they would intervene in the war of loneliness and help. “So that I can become the head of a small household.”
“Did they manipulate the lineup? “Are you going to let the rest of the participants, excluding you, attack and fight first?”
“…that’s right.”
To be precise, the boy who died in the Hwaryonghodok was assigned to her side, but Tang Yeongryeong did not bother to mention that fact.
‘You guessed right.’
Yeon Myeong thought with his eyes shining. The watchful eyes she felt when the loneliness battle first began. That must have been the Zhuge family’s masterpiece.
“Something like this….”
Hearing Tang Yeongryeong’s pleading tone, Yeon Myeong retrieved the poison bottle containing Hwaryongho poison. Because I got the answer I wanted. Next, the neck that had been bent backwards to look at the sky was returned to its original state. Because it seemed uncomfortable to talk. That’s because there’s still something left to ask.
Yeon Myeong continued to ask Tang Yeongryeong, who was breathing with a much better expression.
“What about Tang Geuk-lin? “Is he also involved with the Zhuge family?”
“Dang Geuk-rin? I don’t know about the other leaders. really.”
“Then what did Zhuge Family ask for in return for helping you? “There must have been a reason to take the risk.”
“…They want to be subjugated to our party. “I heard that the family fortunes are so tilted that it is now difficult to keep the family going.”
“So you want to come under the control of the main family? Then, the intervention in this competition must be seen as clear fraud. “It was a ploy to put the next Sogaju on the back burner.”
“…yes.”
“But what do you believe in? Don’t hide it, just say it. “I guess the Zhuge family would have set some different conditions?”
Power came into Yeon Myeong’s hands again.
“Marriage! “I promised to get married…!”
“Marriage? with you?”
“…okay. With the help of the Zhuge family, I decided that if I ascended to the position of head of the Xiao family, I would marry the late Jisoo chosen by the Zhuge family. I thought it wasn’t a bad offer to me. “Because my face looks like this anyway…”
“If you’re trying to get sympathy, then quit. Because it doesn’t work.”
Yan Yanming said coldly and fell into thought for a moment. There was something unclear. This competition was no joke. It is an event where all the key figures of the family, including several elders, are involved. Because it was none other than an opportunity to select the person who would lead the next party.
The Zhuge family must have taken a lot of risk in doing so, but the only gain was to come under the Tang family and gain the support of the Xiao family…?
‘It doesn’t make sense. Unless they have an intention to swallow up the entire Tang family.’
Yeon Ming came to a conclusion that was somewhat close to the truth and put the matter of the Zhuge family to the back of his mind. It is not urgent to take action against Zhuge Family. Anyway, since the suspicions about the intervention in the war of loneliness have become confirmed, wouldn’t people be anxious on the other side? That is, if he becomes the head of Soga instead of Tang Yeongryeong.
“and.”
Yeon Myeong opened his mouth again. Now it was time to ask what was really important.
“How did you get the party gossip dog? “He must be treated with respect in his family.”
“…that.”
“Your maternal grandfather probably stole it. “As long as you don’t get caught, you will have a clear advantage in a solo war.”
“…….”
Tang Yeongryeong had no choice but to remain silent. If she is caught smuggling in her party’s gossip poison, it will be the end not only for her but also for her maternal grandfather, Samjangro Dangseok-hyung. But she didn’t even have an excuse.
“so. What kind of poison is this? “While reading party gossip.”
Yeon Myeong also knew about the existence of Party Gossip Dog, but did not know its specific contents. What name does the poison have, what are its external characteristics, and what are its effects?
“…It’s called Fire Dragon Tiger.”
“Hwaryonghodok? “That’s an unusual name.”
“It is said that among the poisons, there are those called Yeoldok or Handdok. Hwaryongho poison is the most severe poison among all poisons. Enough to be included in the party’s gossip poison.”
“And you were going to use it on me?”
“…….”
Tang Yeongryeong was speechless again. The more I talk, the more I feel cornered. I can’t help but answer yes…
‘I’m going to go back.’
It’s not that it’s not true, Tang Yeongryeong was almost crazy right now. After fighting over and over again the enemy who made his face look like this, he finally met him, but he was subdued before he could even use his hands properly, and he was also caught as a party gossip poisoner who should never have been caught. What if the War of Solitude ends like this and my natural name becomes Sogaju?
It was terrifying to even imagine.
Perhaps her maternal grandfather, Third Elder Dang Seok-hyung, will be overthrown, and she will not be able to avoid punishment either. It was doubtful whether she would be able to survive her life before then.
I tried to find an opportunity to continue the conversation somehow, but it wasn’t easy. One arm could not be used at all because the acupuncture points were suppressed, and even the neck was held. Moreover, it seemed like I had run out of things to be curious about.
The slowly approaching catastrophe felt so clear that it felt like I could grasp it.
No matter how much I think about it, there is no way out of this crisis.
Tang Yeongryeong looked at the poison bottle containing Fire Dragon Tiger Poison with despairing eyes and thought.
‘…Even if heaven and earth were to change, it would never happen that he voluntarily drinks that.’
Even if you are a master who has reached the level of perfection, if you are addicted, you cannot be sure of life or death. It is the worst poison of all poisons⎯ gossip poison.
What are the chances of him being thirsty for a moment and gulping it down? It was at a time when he was having such foolish thoughts.
“I think I was misunderstanding something from before.”

Yeon Myeong brought the poisoned bottle containing Hwaryongho poison to his mouth. Not from his party hero, but from his own mouth.
“Poison can’t do anything to me.”
Even if it is said to be extremely poisonous, it is nothing more than an elixir⎯ As Yeon Myeong added, he poured some Hwaryongho poison into his mouth. Soon the mokuldae was shaking. It was clear that he had swallowed red-hot poison…!
‘Am I dreaming now…?’
Tang Yeongryeong felt a mixture of shock and joy at the unbelievable reality. Can such luck exist? Did Yeon Myeong lose his mind for a moment? To swallow nothing but party gossip poison…!
The thought of living now crosses my mind. I thought she was dead. This cannot happen unless heaven is watching.
‘God of heaven and earth. Primeval Heavenly Lord. Thank you thank you…!’
Expressing gratitude to those who had never visited him before, Tang Yeongryeong kept an eye on Yeon Yeomyeong. Since I was confidently drinking the party gossip poison, I was sure that there would be a reaction soon. Maybe the fire will start to rise from the inside. The fire might spread, so I should immediately shake off my arms and move away.
So, Tang Yeongryeong waited with expectant eyes for what would happen soon.

“You can see Gongdong Mountain. “It’s just a long sentence.”
Tianjinbang Ark Jeong Yeon-song, wearing a yellow military uniform, said.
“hmm.”
A middle-aged man wearing two black swords crossed over each other nodded slightly. It was a long sentence from the Taeeulmuk Sword School. Behind him, a large number of people, roughly over three hundred in number, were lined up. The colors were different. This means that each member has a different affiliation. The most numerous one was of course the Taeeulmuk Sword School.
After learning of the death of his youngest son, Mak In-geuk, who had been sent to the Tang family as a ganja, Mo In-hu immediately led his troops out. Although he was angry at his son’s death, there was also the reason that Mak Ingeuk’s death meant that the Tang family’s Sogaju competition was coming to an end. They wanted to bury it in a communal mountain before they returned to their hometown.
Letters were sent to other clans that had been discussed in advance, and those who were closer among them each sent a small number of people. Personnel were dispatched from Cheonjinbang, Hyeonjungdomun, and Mokyeonggung, but from Cheonjinbang, where they had a close relationship, Bangju Jeong Yeonsong personally led the troops.
“Anyway, I think it’s a bit too much force to kill the party’s brats.”
These were the words of Jeong Yeon-song of Cheonjin Ark. At Mo Yinhu’s request, he had also brought the main force of Tianjinfang. The members of Taeeulmuk Sword Sect and Cheonjinbang were about two hundred.
“Of course, if you only deal with the outcasts of the Tang family, as Jeong Bang-ju said, you will use too much force. “But aren’t there only Party bastards on that mountain?”
“Are you saying that with the communal faction in mind?”
“exactly. If we had mobilized ambiguous forces, the communal faction would have definitely moved. The old school should be considered to be of a different level from the party songs that can no longer be called Sega. There is a risk that we may be subjugated. Perhaps the party will also think about this and hold a contest on a common mountain. However, if you deal with this many people, they will have no choice but to be cautious. “Wouldn’t it be okay to finish off the party bastards during that time?”
“indeed. I understand. I think the party will regress for 20 years with this. “The late-stage indexes that we have collected and polished will all be reduced to insignificance before they even bloom…!”
“That’s right. “The conflict between the Presbyterians who are greedy for power will continue for a while longer.”
Mak In-hu nodded calmly, and Jeong Yeon-song let out a sinister smile.
“But, it’s just a long story.”
Jeong Yeon-song said as if something had suddenly occurred to her.
“It suddenly occurred to me… Didn’t you say that you planted a small seed during the previous meeting? It is said that the entire Dangga could fall into the hands of the people. What happened to the seeds you sown back then? “I’ve always wondered about that.”
“…I failed. But thanks to you, I know that the competition is coming to an end.”
“It looks like Sejak was planted among the participants? Your skills are good too. “It’s also a waste.”
“exactly. “He was someone I cared about…”
Unable to reveal that it was his son, Mak Inhu just trailed off, trailing off his words.
“Let’s stop.”
I can barely suppress my desire to live, but I cannot hide the fact that my footprints are as deep as furrows.
Jeong Yeon-song looked at him and guessed that there was something going on, so he followed in silence and thought. I’m sure she wasn’t the one who was hiding it.
And then three hundred people wearing various weapons followed. The sight of people lined up to enter the mountain was like a swarm of ants.
It was an afternoon scene with the sun shining in full force.
