Shenheling (仙霞嶺) is located in the southwestern part of Zhejiang Province.
That mountain was a road connecting Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, and Jiangxi Province.
As it was a transportation hub, Seonharyeong was home to Pungnimchae (風林寨), the mountain vegetable of Chongpyo Paja, the head of Nokrim, one of the pillars of Sapae Chilju.
And today, a guest came to the Poonglimchae to meet the general manager.
“What is happening to the territory of our mountain men, the dirty merchant Nabulaengi?”
“I just came to deliver the Lord’s message on your behalf.”
West Lake Black City, the largest black city in the Central Plains, located in Zhejiang Province. The person who managed the black poetry was the head of Amcheonhoe.
It was West Lake located near Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, and it was not far from Beijing, where the imperial capital was located. However, creating and maintaining a huge black city in such a place was enough to raise doubts about Amcheonhoeju’s ability. There wasn’t.
It was Amcheonhoeju who maintained its enormous black power by paying huge bribes to dignitaries from all over the continent who visited West Lake, one of the most famous attractions on the continent, and providing a variety of illegal entertainment.
Of course, Chongpyopaja, the leader of Green Forest, did not have the slightest respect for Amcheonhoeju.
“As expected of a coward and a coward. I see that he was afraid that his head would be cut off, so he sent a subordinate in his place. Hahaha.”
Despite the blatant provocation of the total vote-breaker, the representative of Amcheonhoeju did not show any change in expression.
“It looks like you are so stupid that you have already forgotten the agreement you signed with the Apostolic Alliance Lord.”
“What did you say just now? “It sounds like you’re asking me to cut my head off right now because it hurts?”
The agent who gained momentum moved his hand towards the ax lying next to him and threatened him, but the agent kept talking.
“A few days ago, Heuksi, located in Guilin, Guangxi Province, collapsed due to an attack by bandits. “Have you forgotten that we promised not to attack each other for four or seven weeks?”
“Do you dare to question our green forest now just because you are a bandit?”
“If you do that, who will you suspect? The warriors belonging to this association in Gyerim Heuksi were massacred. “Where else would a bandit with that level of skill be, if not Nokrim?”
“joy. “It could have been the work of other guys dressed up as bandits.”
The general candidate snorted and came out without knowing. In fact, it was something I didn’t know about.
However, he was an agent who had no regard for the circumstances of those who lost votes.
“Then, is it okay for our Amcheonhoe to handle this matter? We will investigate the truth at our convenience and file a claim for damages accordingly. “Through the Apostolic Training.”
The meaning of those words was obvious. Threats to inflate and inflate the losses and cause great damage to Nokrim.
It wouldn’t have been that big of a deal to the dastardly bastards who managed the black market.
Of course, the leader of the Amcheon Association was not the one who would listen to the request for money, but the problem was the leader of the Apostolic Association.
‘Damn it.’
He was a total loser who pretended to be an ignorant and courageous mountain man on the outside, but he was well aware of his own way of thinking.
If the Apostle Training Master steps forward here, it will be tiring in many ways.
“good. Let us come forward and investigate what kind of people dared to impersonate our green forest and do this. But that’s it.”
At the same time, the vote loser, who had no choice but to accept the other party’s demands, stopped talking.
Flash!
Before I knew it, the ax of the total vote loser was stopped in front of the deputy’s neck.
The sharp cut blade of the ax left a light wound on the agent’s neck, and a little blood oozed out.
“What do you believe in, and why do you flaunt your mouth so freely in front of me, even though you are an agent and not the leader of the Dark Heaven?”
It was a kind of venting of anger, but the agent did not seem to have any intention of responding to the venting.
“There is nothing left to do if you kill me. In return for taking on this task, the Lord of the Society promised to send a large sum of money to my family. And, he said that if I die and return, he will not hesitate to investigate the truth and report this incident to the Apostle Commander.”
After seeing the characteristic look in the eyes of someone who did not value his life, Mr. Chongpyoja threw the ax back as if steam had escaped.
“Tsk. Killing a guy like Jiangshi is just a waste of effort. “Please stop and go.”
However, the steam leaking out simply means that the intention to kill the agent has disappeared.
After the deputy took the gun with an emotionless face and left the place, a strong wave of energy began to surround the person who lost the vote.
“Whew. “I don’t know what bastards have been selling our name, but I’ll make you beg for death.”
With sinister eyes shining with murderous intent, the general vote-breaker called in his subordinates.

Mujin recognized that the situation at Cheongsu Dojang was serious, but since there were more urgent matters at hand, he tried to look the other way.
First, after completely subduing the surviving disciples of Xiao Qingwen and Master Xiao Qingwen, Mu Jin approached Baek Jiahwan.
“I’m sorry for making such a fuss.”
“… … no. “If you think that I or her sister may have been sold without knowing anything, you can see that the situation is much better now.”
“Have you ever thought about what to do when you go to the appeal hearing?”
Baek Ga-hwan, who thought for a moment about Mujin’s question, shook his head.
At this, Mujin sighed in relief and opened his mouth.
“If we do, will you join us?”
“With you all?”
“That’s right. Actually, we are not from this area. “I’m thinking of going back to my hometown now, and it looks like I could be of great help in treating sheep, for example.”
“Well, is that really true? Where are you planning to go?”
“First, we plan to head to Gangxi Province.”
Baek Ga-hwan, who showed a surprised reaction, looked at Baek Ga-ryeong, who was holding him with a deep expression, as if he was worried about something when he heard the name Gangseo-seong.
And perhaps because he understood the meaning of Baek Ga-hwan’s gaze, Baek Ga-ryeong shook his head slightly and opened his mouth in a voice as small as an ant.
“Mandangjiguo (晩唐之局). “Saryang Sinkju (捨量沈舟).”
When Mu-jin tilted his head, wondering what this meant, Baek Ga-hwan turned his gaze away from his younger brother and looked at Mu-jin with an expression on his face that had made up his mind.
“Since my younger brother said it would be better for us to be together, I will change my shame and follow you.”
“… … Mandangjiguk Saryang Chimju. Did that mean you agreed?”
“Mandangjiguk means a state similar to the Mandang period at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Saryangchimju is a word from Hangwoogi (項羽紀) and has a similar meaning to Baesujijin (背水之陣).”
“… … yes?”
“Actually, I was worried about whether my sister would be able to go with me to Jiangxi Province. “My sister recognized my concerns and said that if we continue like this anyway, we will end up in ruins like in the Mandang era, so we should take a gamble with our lives.”
“Well, was that so?”
Mujin shook his head and came to his senses as the story made him dizzy for some reason.
Anyway, the conclusion was that we would be together.

‘Then what happens now…? … .’
There is no problem in taking Baek Ji-hwan and Baek Ji-ryeong.
Therefore, Mujin turned his gaze and looked at the people at Socheongmun.
Thirteen children, including Baek Ga-hwan and Baek Ga-ryeong, were originally at Socheongmun. In addition, the seven they rescued from the Gyerim Dark City.
A whopping twenty people.
Will it really be possible to escape with them?
There was only one carriage to begin with, and even if additional carriages were obtained, it would not have been noticeable if so many children and women were present.
And they are Daehochae, Bukpungpyoguk, Geumwangchae, and Gyerim Heuksi. In addition, here at Socheongmun, Mujin even killed the self-proclaimed Jihyeon and the second son of a local nobleman in a cannibalistic inn alone.
There may already be a chase, and it will definitely happen sooner or later.
Therefore, it was important to be as inconspicuous as possible on the way to Gangseo Castle.
But that doesn’t mean we have to leave behind all of them except Baek Ga-hwan and Baek Ga-ryeong.
‘Whew. If that’s the case, we shouldn’t have attacked here in the first place.’
How can those young children, who have lost the protection of Xiao Qingwen immediately, survive in this hellish territory of Sapa?
On the other hand, if Su Qingwen was safe, he would have been able to live happily here for at least a few months or even a few years.
No matter how bad Socheongmun are, it means that if they are not going to take responsibility for them, it would have been better for them to just leave them alone.
Did he notice Mujin’s worries?
“There is a way for everyone to sneak out to Jiangxi Province together.”
As expected from the future, Baek Ga-hwan opened his mouth in a confident tone.
“What is that way!?”
In response to Mujin’s question, Baek Ga-hwan looked at his sister with a proud expression and then opened his mouth.
“My younger brother said, ‘Yu Daein, Doeunmaekgan (稻隱麥間).’”
In response to Baek Ga-hwan’s words, Mu-jin said, ‘What nonsense?’ I looked at Baek Ga-hwan with an expression like this.
And fortunately, Baek Ga-hwan soon explained the meaning.
“Dain Yu was supposed to come tomorrow, and when I looked through the ledger a little while ago, I found out that Dain Yu was a slave trader. And Doeunmaekgan means to hide the rice among the barley. Just looking at this ledger, you can see that there are so many slave traders in Guangxi and Guangdong. If he captures a Jew and disguises himself as a slave trader, he will not be noticed.”
“… … .”
Rather, from Mujin’s perspective, it was just absurd.
‘How on earth did you come up with such a plan after hearing those two words?’
Come to think of it, in the novel, Baek Ga-Hwan often praised his younger brother, but looking at what he is doing now, Baek Ga-Hwan inferring that from just a few words was not normal.
* * *
Mujin and his party, who decided to follow Baek Ga-ryeong and Baek Ga-hwan’s plan, decided to first organize the petition.
Since the guy named Yoo Dae-in would only come after sunrise anyway, I needed to spend some time here while waiting for him.
They coaxed the children who had come out at night into their rooms, removed the bodies, and pushed the subdued Master Socheongmun and his disciples into a corner.
“Guys, let’s go in now!”
“Ukki! “Ukkikki!”
“Hmm. Don’t worry. “We will soon be able to go to a better place together.”
Muhyul, Lingling, and Baek Ga-hwan were mainly responsible for soothing the children.
Perhaps thanks to the faces of Baek Ga-hwan, who had always been like an eldest brother to the children here, and Muyul, who seemed completely harmless, the bright and innocent faces of the children began to calm down little by little.
Only after the children returned to the shrine did Mujin and Mugyeong begin to clean up the body, and Mugung locked the suppressed Socheongmun disciples in a corner room and went under surveillance.
Lastly, in the case of Cheongsu Dojang, a fortune-telling breakfast was held in a corner of Socheongmun Gate.
To be precise, he was receiving treatment for internal injuries suffered due to a sudden psychosis.
However, the fortune-telling breakfast that started for the mind naturally led to meditation.
Naturally, the scene that came to mind a few days ago came back to the mental world of the Cheongsu Dojo.
A memory that happened ten years ago and was sealed away.
* * *
Cheongsu Seal.
no. Cha Sun-il was a naive child growing up in a quiet rural village in Cheonghae.
His father was nothing more than an ordinary herbalist, and his mother died young.
For Cha Sun-il, everyday life was all about playing with the few children his age in the village during the day and being with his father who came home from work in the evening.
Misfortune struck the small village, where the total number of villagers was less than fifty, after an outsider came to visit.
He rested in the village for a day and then left, a few days later.
The stranger appeared with a horde of magic bandits.
Of course, in a rural village less than fifty years old, there was no money or valuables that a band of magic bandits could target.
“It’s that bitch!!”
There lived a beautiful woman who did not fit into a rural village and was worth more than money.
Cha Sun-il’s sister, who is six years older than him, used to take care of Cha Sun-il from a young age when his father went out to work.
“Cluck cluck. You can’t come all the way here and catch just one person! “Kill everything except those that seem to have commercial value!”
As soon as the leader of the magic bandits gives the order, they scatter in all directions and kill the villagers.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Save me… … .”
“Please, just my child!!”
Women and children who looked even the slightest bit beautiful began to be dragged away by force.
Cha Sun-il’s father hid himself in a corner of the house with Cha Sun-il, but they were eventually discovered by magic bandits who were searching the house.
Cha Sun-il’s father fought back with the sword he had kept for emergency purposes to protect him, but it was not enough to deal with the magic bandit who made looting his business.
“Cluck cluck. “I guess I can sell you.”
Although Cha Sun-il was a boy, he had an appearance that made him worthy of being sold to s*xual desirers who preferred boys.
Therefore, the magician grabbed the left arm of young Cha Sun-il and tried to drag him away.
Sreung.
Cha Sun-il, who witnessed his father’s death from the front, grabbed the sword in his father’s hand with an ecstatic expression on his face.
“Hehehehe. Are you going to at least try to rebel?”
The magician laughed, perhaps because he was enjoying the child’s futile rebellion.
But at that moment, Cha Sun-il was captivated by a strange sensation he had never felt in his life.
It was definitely the first sword he had ever held in his life, but the sword he held for the first time clung to Cha Sun-il’s hand as if it were a lifelong friend.
“Ugh… … .”
Cha Sun-il imitated the sword technique of the magician he had only seen once and plunged his sword into the enemy’s abdomen.
The magician, who was caught off guard, realized that a child had stabbed him with the sword only after he was stabbed in the stomach.
It was such a natural movement.
However, the human body had countless muscles, and it was far from possible to pull out a sword that had completely penetrated the body with the strength of a ten-year-old child.
“Pray… … Eat… … .”
The magician with a hole in his stomach grabbed the hilt of the sword and struck the head of the whimpering child, and thanks to the force, the child finally pulled out the sword that had been thrust into the magician’s stomach and fell backwards.
“Ugh… … .”
As the internal organs began to spill out due to the knife that had been blocking the hole being removed, the magician hurriedly grabbed the hole with both hands, but before long he was lying sprawled on the floor.
And that was Cha Sun-il’s last memory.
