Between favor and falsehood (1)
The place where Maryeongin arrived was Seochangmun (西槍門).
Seochangmun was one of the two clans representing Hanam.
Another sect was Donggeombang (東劍幇). The Xichang School and the Donggeombang School have been competing for a very long time and have established themselves as the representative schools of Henan Province.
Just as Ma Jeongsu had previously come down to Shandong and tried to bring good to Yang Sobang, it seemed that Ma Ryeongin was already in close contact with Seo Changmun.
As proof, the atmosphere was very good. A lively drinking party took place, and it lasted for more than an hour.
No attempt was made to eavesdrop on their conversation. I could have heard it if I had to, but it didn’t seem worth it to listen through eight guards.
In particular, I was concerned about the man who had previously stopped me from entering the room that was emitting a strange energy. She could have been hiding around a demon spirit.
He certainly seemed stronger than Chilho. Martial arts, and sincerity.
After one hour, Maryeongin came out of the west window.
The carriage did not return to the manor, but headed to another place.
This time too, the carriage was followed from a distance. Because I didn’t take the risk of getting too close, they couldn’t notice what I was doing.
Surprisingly, the place we arrived at after rushing down Ban Sijin was Donggeombang, which was in competition with Seochangmun.
This guy! Both sides are shaking!
As expected, a lively drinking party continued there for another hour.
I didn’t know how he was controlling both sides, but it was clear that he was using some kind of skill that was unique to him.
When I thought about the way he treated me, I thought he might be taking advantage of both sides by confidently saying he was meeting someone. Using nine truths and one definitive lie.
He was a man with skills that could not even be compared to the magic spirit that came down to Shandong. I remembered Ma Jeong-soo’s words of evaluation of him in the past.
He’s a treacherous demon spirit.
Treacherous? How can we evaluate someone like that sly snake with such expressions? Even though Ma Jeong-su was wrong, he was wrong for a long time.
The carriage that left Donggeombang headed towards Jeongju Military Office this time. He probably went to see Chu Dochi. We stayed there for about a while.
The carriage came out again with Chu Do-chi seeing him off.
He is truly a diligent guy.
Even though daybreak came, the carriage did not return to the manor.
I was surprised when I saw where the carriage was heading. It was heading straight toward the guesthouse where I was staying.
I used my light engineering skills and returned to the guest house one step ahead of them.
It flew upstairs and entered my room through the window.
After a while, someone knocked on my door.
When I opened the door, the devil was standing in front of the door.
“Did I wake you up?”
“No, I haven’t slept yet.”
I didn’t really have to act like I woke up from sleep. I was not very perceptive, so I could have been caught, and even if that wasn’t the case, I thought it was natural for me to not be able to sleep on a day like today.
“I’ve never been like this before, but last night I couldn’t sleep. By the way, did you have a drink?”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have come to you sooner.”
“Let’s say that now.”
“haha. “That’s your reaction after all.”
He seemed to like my prickly attitude and smiled cheerfully.
“Are you going to leave it standing like this?”
“Please come in.”
He came into the room. He looked around the room. He doesn’t have anything left loose, so you won’t find anything if you look.
“If you can’t sleep, why don’t you at least have a drink?”
“I don’t drink alone.”
“I see.”
“I remembered the name Demon Spirit yesterday. Among the Murim Lord’s sons, one of the most likely successors was Malyeongin. “Is that you?”
“That’s right. It’s me. And instead of six successors, there were five successors.”
“You are from a prestigious political faction… … .”
“Why are you staying underground like that and doing suspicious things?”
“exactly.”
I nodded obediently.
“You said that? “The difference between a charlatan and a villain is just a piece of paper.”
This was what I said to Chu Dochi in the carriage.
“I did.”
“Isn’t it the same? Prestigious or… … .”
What on earth? What is your comparison target?
But he didn’t say anything.
“I think I understand roughly. shit. “I feel like drinking since morning.”
Then the demon took something out of his arms and placed it on the table. It was a 1,000-nyang voucher.
“If you can’t sleep today, go to Giru and have a drink. “If you smell the woman’s anger, you will sleep well.”
An unexpected favor.
This monster’s tail keeps wagging at me.
I grinned and took the slip.
“Thank you.”
“Are you thankful?”
“Honestly, even though I act strong, I couldn’t sleep all night. He also killed several of his subordinates. That non-attendance… … I told him not to mention it again, but I’m worried about it anyway. But why are you being so nice to me?”
“good. Let me tell you why I treat you so special. First of all, didn’t you take three of those precious fire demon spirits? “It is cheaper than an elixir that has the same effect, but it takes a considerable amount of time and money to make one.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“Of course not. “There is another reason why I feel favorably towards you.”

“What is that?”
“Looking at you, I realized once again that bonds between people exist.”
“Destiny? “What kind of strange thing do men say between men?”
“The moment I saw you, I had a feeling that I would have a deep connection with this person. “Let’s just say I liked you.”
If it weren’t for me, I thought that an average person in his or her twenties or thirties would melt into his speech. He generously offered a thousand nyang and said that he liked it, but how could he not be swayed by it?
“Anyway, thank you.”
I patted his arm and grinned.
“I will use this money well.”
There was no surveillance on the demon spirit that day.
I really went to Giru in the evening. He called the prettiest courtesan in Giru and ordered the most expensive drinks and dishes.
I had a drink with her, giggled and played with her. She was not alert to the watcher at all. For some reason, I had a feeling that he would be watching me today.
Even if it wasn’t, it didn’t matter. It’s just like taking a day off.
I stayed up late, but I didn’t sleep with a courtesan. It was meant to show the appearance of revelry, not the actual revelry.
In my past life, I had physical relationships with several women. So there is no aversion to sleeping with anyone, whether it be a courtesan or a courtesan.
However, since we haven’t broken off the engagement yet, I just don’t want to sleep with another woman.
“Is there a girl you like?”
The courtesan asked me.
“I don’t have any?”
“No, it definitely exists.”
“does not exist. “Don’t pass it off as nonsense.”
“Women have an instinct to counteract a man’s cheating.”
“Arthur. “This brother is a person who wants to live freely.”
The courtesan smiled brightly.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Just like that. That’s what happens to men who have wandered their whole lives. Now I want to settle down with someone. “I’m sick of freedom.”
“Don’t be fooled. Because I’m trying to tempt you. People like that would go crazy if they were tied up for just one day.”
“Maybe so.”
She smiled.
I lay down on the courtesan’s lap and looked at the moon outside the window.
Suddenly, Song Hwa-rin’s face appeared overlapping the bright moon.
Is she well? She must be training hard, right? She remembered the times when she and she had walked down her hometown. It was really nice that day.
At that time, the courtesan who was looking down at me said.
“The person that comes to mind right now is the person I like.”
I looked up at the courtesan and said.
“I thought about you.”
The courtesan giggled and looked at the moon outside the window. Even though she had been going through war-like days, she seemed at peace today.
“The moonlight is so beautiful today.”
* * *
At the same time, Song Hwa-rin was also standing at the window and looking up at the moon.
“What are you thinking about?”
Song Hwarin answered Suran’s question.
“Thinking of him.”
“yes?”
Suran was surprised.
“Are you sure you mean Byok Gongja?”
“why? “Can’t you think about him?”
Suran was embarrassed because he asked so calmly.
“no. But never… … .”
“Yeah, I never thought about him once. “I never said anything like that to you.”
“yes.”
Suran’s embarrassment soon turned into worry.
“Miss, aren’t you worried about something?”
“does not exist. I was just answering your question honestly. “I thought about him.”
Suran was able to see that Song Hwarin’s feelings for Byeokridan were much deeper than she thought.
“You’re getting closer to him, aren’t you?”
It was meant to comfort Song Hwa-rin, but it had no effect at all.
“no. “He is moving further and further away from me.”
Suran made an expression that she couldn’t understand.
“The more I learn about his new self, the more distant he becomes.”
The emotion in Song Hwa-rin’s eyes was clearly ‘regret’.
Suran, who looked as if she could not understand, spoke powerfully.
“For me, you are the best lady.”
A smile appeared on Song Hwa-rin’s face again. She motioned for her poached egg to come towards her.
As Suran approached, he put his arm around her and looked up at the moon again.
Suran was embarrassed because this was something she had never done before.
‘You’ve definitely changed.’
Song Hwa-rin’s deep eyes were filled with moonlight.

The next day, a mission came to me.
It was an order to eliminate adulterous Buddhas. The Fornication Buddha was originally a monk at a famous temple in Henan Province, but he fell into lust by drinking a coin and raped his priests in succession before running away.
In the process of tracking him, many warriors lost their lives.
Afterwards, he roamed around Hanam Province and raped many women. After that, there was no news of him disappearing, and today I received an order to kill him.
“Is this guy the enemy of the Demon Duke?”
“No.”
“But why?”
“It’s a negative that I haven’t been able to catch for the past few years. But this time, I was lucky enough to find his whereabouts.”
trap?
That’s the first thought that came to mind.
Could it be that he wanted me to be killed by the fornication fire through road murder? But why? If you really want to kill me, there are probably many other easy ways.
Moreover, the value of the memorial service went one step further.
“Catch him and hand him over to the Murim Alliance branch.”
“The one with a bounty on it?”
“I see.”
“What about the bounty?”
“You take it.”
I just blinked as if I couldn’t understand. Chu Do-chi looked like he was anticipating my reaction.
I raised my voice in protest.
“What are we doing now?”
“What are we going to do? “It’s about catching evildoers, right?”
“Shit! “Where is this?”
“Watch your mouth!”
Chu Do-chi, who answered calmly, glared at me with an expression that said he would no longer look at me.
I took a step back.
“Okay. Why are you trying to kill him?”
“Like I said before, isn’t he a villain?”
“Aren’t you just as evil as me?”
Chu Do-chi twitched his lips and snorted.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the magician either. “Why am I showing you this favor?”
From the looks of it, he also seemed unaware of the intentions of the demon spirit who gave the order.
“Okay. I’ll catch you right away. “I guess I should take out my anger on that guy.”
First of all, I had to do as I was told.
Because I had no intention of letting go of this tail just yet.
* * *
Two days later, I entered the Murim Alliance settlement.
The one dragged into my hands was a fornicator. He couldn’t move on his own because every bone in his body was shattered.
In particular, the lower part of the body had dried red blood. That was the place where it exploded first while fighting with me.
“I have captured a villain with a bounty on him.”
The soldiers guarding the entrance asked in surprise.
“Who is that person?”
“It’s a fire for fornication.”
Everyone was surprised to hear the word “fornication fire.” Because Eunhaengbul was a figure that no Murim leader in Henan Province could not have known.
“I brought him in secret, so we’ll be able to quickly find out who he is.”
From then on, the settlement area was in an uproar.
After receiving the report, Zidanju rushed out with his men.
Jidanju Pengseo, who confirmed that the person captured was an adulterer, was very surprised and asked me.
“What is your surname?”
“Kang Ho-dong members are calling me an unknown guest.”
“oh! “The unknown Daehyup was the Daehyup!”
Zidane’s soldiers around him cheered and clapped.
The nameless Daehyup, who defeated Yeomhwa, the butcher who was a symbol of authority, and proudly issued a warning to Cheon Do-moon, was popular among the strongmen. However, since the fire of fornication was brought to light in this way, cheers naturally erupted.
While the bounty was being prepared, Zidane warriors heard the rumor and flocked to see my face.
It was only yesterday that he was surrounded by enemies in the previous chapter, but now he has become a hero and is surrounded by warriors.
I became a hero of the settlement that day.
The bounty was a mere seven thousand nyang. He was a person who committed many evil deeds. He also killed evildoers and collected a large sum of money, 7,000 nyang. This wasn’t a trap.
What remained was the devil’s intention.
Why did you do this favor for me?
