◈ Episode 93. What do you know?
Danryehwa spoke in a urging tone.
“Don’t just laugh. Talk to me. We’re in trouble. Is there a way out?”
The word “we” comes out quite naturally now.
Jinmu-rip smiled and nodded.
“If it’s something that anyone can think of like you, then there’s no need to worry too much. Nothing will really change.”
The guest room, which was so full that there was no place to sit, became noisy.
Jinmu-rip stood up from his seat after pouring the wine into his mouth.
“Go out.”
Secret gazes followed the two people leaving the guest house.
The two people exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
A dark street, stalls tidying up, and people passing by busily.
Jinmu-rip said as he stood on the road.
“I have one question to ask.”
“What?”
Jinmu Rip’s next words continued through Jeon Eum.
[The martial arts world is currently experiencing unprecedented peace. What do you think is the reason?]
[Isn’t it because there is no suitable enemy?]
Jinmu-rip shook his head.
[That, interestingly enough, is because of the Palhwangmun Gate.]
A faint wrinkle appeared between Danryeonhwa’s eyebrows.
[What does that mean?]
[There are two types of people who joined hands with the Palhwangmun. One is those who sympathize with their ambitions, and the other is those who refused the Palhwangmun’s offer and had their family members taken hostage, forcing them to submit.]
[I know that. Because the moment the Great War broke out, our Hwaryeong rescued those hostages.]
[So which of those two groups fought to the end?]
[Of course, they are those who agree with the ambitions of the Palhwangmun.]
Jinmu-rip smiled faintly.
[Most of the old and worldly people joined the hands of the Palhwangmun and died together. That is one of the reasons why peace in the martial arts world lasted so long.]
When I listened to it and thought about it, it didn’t seem like it was completely unreasonable.
[All those who could cause trouble are dead?]
[Yes. After the war, the world began to reorganize. Those who were corrupt, greedy, and had wrong ambitions were eliminated, and the defense system was reorganized. However, Sacheon, who did not directly participate in the war, was different.]
Danryehwa tilted her head as she recalled the story of the Great War she had heard from her teacher.
[Come to think of it, there wasn’t a single breakwater in Sacheon during the final battle of the World War. Why was that?]
[Because the loser of Sacheon, Madorim, held out until the end.]
At that time, the Palhwangmun, who carried out the Hoecheon Great Plan, took control of seven-tenths of the world, excluding Gangnam and Sacheon.
They rushed their plan until the end, but Sacheon’s plan made little progress because Madorim held out until the end.
There, the treason that Gangnam’s Paecheonseong, Chilmak, and Namgung Se-ga had planted was discovered by Hwaryeong and eliminated.
Palhwangmun, who had become impatient, excluded Sacheon and Gangnam from the plan.
Then, to prevent Sacheon and Gangnam from joining hands, he attacked Madorim and caused a rebellion by planting a plot within each faction.
This was the reason why Sacheon Murim could not participate in the final battle of the Great War of the World, and also the reason why Madorim fell.
Jinmu-rip finished his explanation and his eyes lit up coldly.
[Rotten branches must be cut off for new shoots to grow. I intend to change the Sacheon martial arts world.]
Danryehwa swallowed her saliva at the sharp gaze.
[Seo, surely… …you’re not thinking of starting a war with the Sacheon Alliance, are you?]
At this point, with Madorim’s power, even if Jinmurip were present, it would be absolutely impossible.
However, she couldn’t help but worry because she knew Jinmu-rip’s true identity.
If the Heavenly Power intervened, it would have been possible with the power of Eungok that had turned the world upside down.
As her thoughts reached that point, she spoke again urgently.
[You shouldn’t use the power of the Heavens like this. You could become a public enemy in the world of martial arts.]
Jinmu-rip said in a bewildered tone at the sincerity in her eyes.
[Do you think I would use the power of the heavens in a place like this?]
The short-legged stiletto heel crumpled the impression.
[Why do you talk like you’re going to kill everyone? How are you going to cut out the rotten branches?]
Jinmu-rip said indifferently.
[There is a blood relationship.]
Danryehwa’s eyes widened.
[Using barbarians to control barbarians?]
A deep smile appeared on Jinmu-rip’s face.
[It is also a way to fight poison with poison.]
It is a pity that people die.
However, Danryehwa was not a weak woman who would sympathize with the death of a villain.
Then another secret energy quickly approached.
[Cheonseon Gakju Jang Yu-gi has visited the Jeongmuwon. In addition, the Gakjus of the Four Great Factions are calling in the warriors who have visited Seojang one by one.]
It was the voice of Eun Su-ryeon, the leader of the Eunmu-dae troupe.
‘It looks like they’re trying to recruit them.’
Jinmu-rip nodded.
[Take care of the tailing and throw it into the pavilion.]
This is a warning that if you mess with yourself carelessly, you will get seriously hurt.

[I follow your orders.]
Jinmu-rip, who had changed direction, entered a quiet alley with Danryehwa.
Soon after, Eun Soo-ryun’s presence disappeared, and the two people who had been watching her disappeared without a trace.
Dan Ryeo-hwa noticed the situation and asked in surprise.
“Hey, you’re not really planning on going to war with the Four Heavenly Alliance, are you?”
A bitter smile appeared on Jinmu-rip’s lips.
“That’s why I said no.”

The accommodations at Unryongak as darkness falls.
Even after dinner was over, the reviewers sitting around the restaurant didn’t seem to want to get up.
They were all those who had been to Seojang with Jinmu Rip.
The door opened in a heavy silence and Dangcheon came in.
He was locked in the training ground and had come at Jinseolran’s request.
“lender.”
Not only Jin Seol-ran, but everyone else stood up as if they had been waiting.
“Welcome.”
Kookcheolyoung pointed to a chair and offered it to me.
Dangcheon looked around at his colleagues and sat down.
“What’s going on?”
Dang So-so asked.
“Sogaju. Did the Prime Minister not say anything?”
“I was in the underground training ground all day.”
“Then you don’t know what’s going on in the wilderness.”
“Explain it briefly.”
Jinseolran opened her mouth.
“I think the higher-ups are planning to do something at the upcoming general meeting.”
“what?”
“Of course it was about the vacuum. The higher-ups forced us to remain silent and agree no matter what the results were. Isn’t that normal?”
Dangcheon turned his head.
“The decisions made by higher-ups are none of our concern.”
“The vacuum driver not only risked his life to complete this mission, but also rescued the trapped Cheonmu-dae.”
“So what can we do?”
“Are you serious?”
“Give up the idea of doing anything for him.”
Everyone, including Jinseolran, could not help but feel disappointed.
They thought things would be a little different with this mission, but it seems they were just mistaken.
widely!
Jo Young-seong suddenly got up after slamming the table down loudly.
“Go back. We were fools to expect anything from a person like that.”
Unlike them, who must absolutely obey their superiors, Dangcheon is the head of the Dang family.
Prime Minister Dang I-gyeong is a collateral member of the Dang family.
It is true that I had some hope since it was not a situation where I would be forced to do anything by the collateral line.
Wasn’t Dangcheon a comrade who fought alongside you in the West?
However, they felt like they had wasted their expectations and time waiting due to Dangcheon’s cold attitude.
They left the restaurant like an ebb tide.
The last remaining Jin Seol-ran stared at Dangcheon with sad eyes.
“you are…….”
She hesitated for a moment, then turned away coldly without finishing her words.
Dangcheon, who was left alone, slowly got up from his seat.
He, too, knew of the ominous atmosphere in the Sacheon Alliance.
I’m not stupid enough not to guess what’s causing that atmosphere and what’s going on right now.
‘Jin Mu-rip is not so foolish as to be fooled by shallow tricks. Why don’t you know that it is better to just sit back and watch than to meddle in a foolish way?’
If Jinmu Rip asks for help, I intend to respond.
But somehow it didn’t seem like that would be the case.
From the moment we left Sacheon until the last battle on the plateau.
Dangcheon, who had watched the process so far, knew that even without doing anything, he had the strength to overcome adversity.
The reviewers who left the restaurant let out a sigh as if they were going to die.
Even the bright moon in the sky and the beautifully embroidered stars could not soothe the frustrated hearts of the later indexes.
Jo Young-seong sighed and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
“This can’t go on. I need to meet with the Chief of Staff of the State Council.”
Kwak Do-jin asked.
“My tutor told me not to go to the State Council for the time being. Didn’t the Lord Cheon Seon-gak say anything like that?”
“What do I know? I don’t know.”
Youngseong Jo, with a serious expression on his face, strode forward.
Then Boyne muttered with a very frightened face.
“The ripples… … .”
Jo Young-seong’s head suddenly turned.
“The Great Lord is the one who stayed behind to stop hundreds of enemies for us. What have we done for the Great Lord? This is not something a comrade should do. I am leaving.”
His last words resonated deeply in everyone’s hearts.
After a brief silence, Kwak Do-jin shook his head and came to his senses.
“Is it really possible that I would be excommunicated just because I went to the State Council? I’ll go too.”
He hurriedly followed after Jo Young-seong.
The two people who left Unryonggak looked around and secretly developed new techniques.
[It feels like stealing.]
At Kwak Do-jin’s words, Jo Young-seong showed a bitter smile.
[Stealing isn’t something we do.]
Everyone knows.
It’s just that I can’t say it out loud.
The two men who arrived at the government office spoke to the officer.
“I would like to meet Master Kang No-sa of Cheongseong and Master Ha No-sa of Jeomchang.”
The secretary showed a troubled expression.
“Both of you are not here right now.”
“What does that mean?”
“Master Ha Jong-bo left a while ago, and Master Kang Yu-wol left a little while ago.”
* * *
The top floor of the arboretum.
Han Cheon-wol, standing by the window, took in the night view as bright as day.
‘It’s quiet.’
The brightly shining moon and stars, and the torches illuminating all directions, could not dispel the heavy silence that had fallen on the inside of the cave.
As Han Cheon-wol was looking around the street, he saw Jin Mu-rip and Dan Ryeo-hwa.
When a bitter smile appears on his lips.
Jin Mu-rip, who happened to find Han Cheon-wol, smiles and takes the lottery ticket.
Han Cheon-wol waved his hand and closed the window.
The guy I thought was a wolf cub turned out to be a snake about to ascend.
‘It’s a mad dragon. I can’t let it become a real dragon.’
Footsteps began to get closer in the hallway, and soon a familiar voice was heard.
“Death penalty. I’ll take it.”
“Come in.”
Kang Yu-wol opened the door and came in, bowing politely.
Han Cheon-wol smiled gently and offered a seat with her hand.
“Please sit down.”
Kang Yu-wol spoke as soon as he sat down.
“All credit for this mission goes to Gwangmu Daeju. He deserves the recognition he deserves.”
Han Cheon-wol nodded as if it was obvious.
“How could I not know that? Based on the report, the non-footnote process is being closely reviewed. The central committee will reward and reward the students according to their major.”
“capital punishment.”
“Please speak.”
“It has already been over half a century since Soje was sentenced to death.”
“Hehehe. Now that I think about it, it’s already become like that.”
“The Soje knows the death penalty well.”
Kang Yu-wol’s eyes turned serious as she got up from her seat.
“I must first speak rudely to you. Do not make Gwangmu Daeju into a group that you abandon. If that happens, Soje will not just sit back and watch.”
“Priest.”
Han Cheon-wol’s eyes, which had been friendly until now, turned cold.
“If you know me well, you will know what it means to be on the same level as me. Please do not misjudge the cause.”
“Don’t use the word ‘cause’ lightly.”
Kang Yu-wol was not intimidated by Han Cheon-wol’s cold gaze.
He spoke with his chest puffed out and confidently.
“If persecuting Gwangmu Daeju for not being a member of the Four Great Factions is a just cause for the death penalty, Soje will follow the just cause that Soje thinks is right.”
Kang Yu-wol, who had finished speaking, turned around without any regrets.
A bitter smile spread across Han Cheon-wol’s lips as he looked at her back.
‘How foolish.’
