Episode 741 Who touched what? (One)
Sigh!
The sailors swallowed their saliva as they saw the sleek-looking speedboat approaching through the water.
“We are outnumbered!”
“Uh, what should I do? “Aren’t we all going to die?”
The people on deck were distraught and started screaming. The captain, the horseman, who saw this, shouted loudly.
“Be calm!”
“… … .”
“It’s not uncommon to encounter water roosters in the Yangtze River! “Our ship’s relationship with the waterway is not that bad, so it won’t be a big deal!”
Then someone asked in a trembling voice.
“Are you really okay?”
“No need to worry. Even if the mountain is full of bandits, just as those who go on a journey climb the mountain, meeting bandits in the Yangtze River does not necessarily mean that you will be in trouble. “Instead, we must not provoke them, so please gather to one side!”
After reassuring the passengers, the horseman quickly gave instructions to the sailors.
“What are you doing! Gather the people to one side!”
“yes! “Captain!”
“Drop anchor and stop the boat! Right Now!”
“yes!”
The crew began to move in perfect order according to instructions. The horseman glanced at the approaching speedboat.
‘What’s going on?’
What he said wasn’t a lie.
The Yangtze River is so wide and long that the pipe’s influence does not reach all of it. Therefore, everyone who drives a boat on the Yangtze River has to endure the threat of ditching to some extent.
Nevertheless, the reason they reacted in confusion when they saw the numbers was because this was not an area where water stalks appeared.
Even though it is on a river that just flows along the waterway, there must be a place to anchor the boat. As a result, pirates also tend to focus their activities around the area where their water collection is located.
Moreover, because as many as eighteen families coexist in one Yangtze River, they tend to firmly protect each other’s territory to avoid conflict.
As if the Green Forest Seventy-Two Houses do not invade the territory of other mountains.
However, at least as far as the horseman knew, this was not the place where the water shed was located.
‘Has a new sink been created?’
The horseman’s neck moved greatly due to tension.
If you are familiar with watercolors to some extent, you may be able to solve the problem without much trouble, but if you are unfamiliar with watercolors, problems may arise. Moreover, if it is a new watercolor, they may do something to show off their ferocity.
‘You have to stay alert.’
The horseman braced his shoulders and prepared to greet the approaching speedboat.
As the ship slowed down, the speedboat also adjusted its speed and stuck to the side.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
The sides collided with each other and the ship shook violently.
“Wow!”
“Ugh!”
There was a moment of fear on people’s faces.
The moment the speedboat completely pulled up to the side of the ship, about a dozen ropes with hooks flew all at once onto the deck.
Empty! Empty!
The hook that fell to the floor was dragged with a clattering sound and ended up on the ship’s railing. It looked like about a dozen people were clutching the railing of the ship. The rope was pulled taut.
Seeing the hook blade stand up eerily, everyone was so nervous that they couldn’t even take a deep breath.
“Go up!”
With harsh voices, several warriors riding ropes came onto the deck one after another.
A blue military uniform resembling the color of the Yangtze River.
The mark of the black dragon engraved on the chest.
Amiza (harpoon) and trident in hand.
It was a typical appearance of bandits. The horseman wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward.
“I am… … .”
“Shhh.”
At that moment, the sharp tip of Amiza was aimed at his neck.
“Just shut up. Before I rip off your snout.”
“… … .”
The horseman nodded without saying a word. At the same time, he looked at the faces of the enemies who quickly climbed onto the deck. To his despair, there was no face he recognized.
‘I guess there will be more bad luck than bad today.’
He looked behind the enemy with nervous eyes. Usually, the person with the power to make decisions appears later.
just as expected.
A cold-looking man slowly appeared beyond the railing behind the city’s bandits.
‘hmm.’
Then So Jeong-bok’s face, who was observing the situation from behind, became tense.
The man who appeared last looked quite different from the previous enemies. he is… … He was leisurely walking along the rope.
Now, this place is on water, on water that is constantly flowing. Naturally, the rope connecting the two boats was shaking violently. But isn’t that man walking on the undulating rope as if it were flat ground?
Since Sojeongbok was also a member of Ghost Gate, an expert in light engineering, there was no way he didn’t know how difficult it was.
‘strong.’
His spine began to get wet.
“Hmm.”
Tung.
The man lightly jumped onto the deck and looked around.
Even at first glance, he appears to be a cold man. In addition, the two knife marks across the face made the impression even more terrifying.

Everyone who received his cold gaze looked down, not daring to make eye contact.
The man’s eyes looked around the entire ship and were fixed on one place.
“Are you the captain?”
The horseman quickly opened his mouth.
“yes! I am the captain of this ship, a horseman! “It is an honor to meet the heroes of the Yangtze River!”
“hero?”
When the man asked briefly, the horseman nodded repeatedly.
“They are the ones who maintain order in the Yangtze River under the protection of the Black Dragon King, so how can we not call them heroes?”
“Haha.”
The man seemed to like the flattery and smiled softly.
“You know me well.”
“yes. This is something that anyone who travels across the Yangtze River should know. “With the heroes of the Yangtze River, isn’t it possible for us to travel through this dangerous Yangtze River with protection?”
“yes.”
So Jeong-bok, who was watching, was impressed by the horseman’s eloquence.
Although he seemed very frightened, the captain emphasized the words order and protection. The idea was to let the situation pass without any major accidents since the protection fee would eventually be paid.
The man nodded as if he understood what he meant.
“Managing the Yangtze River is not an easy task. So, of course, we should express our gratitude to those who pass through the territory we manage. “Isn’t that right?”
“You are right. If you don’t know the rules, how can you dare to trust yourself to the waters of the Yangtze River? The Dragon King will be angry.”
The horseman smiled with relief as things turned out easier than expected.
“okay. “Have you prepared your shroud?”
“Now, please wait a moment. I was so foolish that I didn’t realize there were heroes here. “If you give us a little time, we will have it ready in no time.”
“We are not very laid-back people. Even if it’s just me, those guys can’t stand boredom at all. “If we don’t want to see unnecessary blood, let’s hurry.”
“Oh, I understand!”
As soon as the man nodded, the horseman ran backwards. Then he lowered his voice and explained the situation to the passengers on the boat.
“I’m sure you’ve all heard this, but I think you need to show some sincerity.”
The passengers nodded in unison and opened their luggage compartments.
Losing your life is better than losing your life. It’s not that I don’t feel repulsive, but when I see the sharp weapons the enemy is carrying, that repulsion naturally fades away.
Everyone took money out of their wallets and handed it to the sailors.
Sujeongbok sighed deeply as he saw the scene.
‘Thank goodness.’
Contrary to concerns, nothing major happened.
So Jeong-bok was now somewhat acquainted with the bandits of Green Forest, so this sight was not unfamiliar to him. Usually, when you think of bandits or bandits, you would think that they would recklessly kill people and extort money, but in reality, such things rarely happen.
When murders and robberies occur repeatedly in a specific area or waterway, people tend to avoid that area. Then, the pirates also have to move to other areas to make a living.
However, since each person’s territory is clear on this floor, if you want to move the area, you have to endure a collision.
In that case, it is better to tear it in moderation without causing any harm to those passing by. Even if you reduce the amount of money you earn right away, you can continue to receive toll fees.
At that time, one of the sailors came up to So Jeong-bok and whispered.
“Look. The passengers are poor and the money is not very good. “I’m sorry, but can you give me a little more?”
“… … “I understand.”
So Jeong-bok took out a hermit from the pouch in his arms. Eunja is a lot of money for Sojeongbok, but it is better to solve the problem with money than to cause trouble for no reason. The money I will receive from this vote is much more than this.
“Here it is.”
The sailor’s face brightened at the silver gift he handed to him.
“Thank you.”
The money collected by the sailors is brought to the captain. The captain, who had gathered all the money in one place, took the money out of his purse and put it in his sack. Then he approached cautiously and politely handed his sack to the enemy.
“It’s a small courtesy. “I don’t think it will be enough of an example for the heroes of the Yangtze River, but it will be enough money to pay for a night’s worth of drinks.”
“Hmm.”
The man stretched out his hand and took the sack. Then, without checking the amount, he lightly threw it to the subordinate behind him.
Tuk-tuk!
He reached out and tapped the horseman on the shoulder.
“I remember my captain’s face.”
“It is an honour!”
“If we continue to cooperate like this, there won’t be any major problems. Remember that the Yangtze River is calm, but it is extremely rough when the wind blows. “It’s up to you whether the wind will blow or not.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“good.”
The man nodded slightly and turned around. Now that she had finished her business, she seemed ready to leave.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I was robbed of my money, but I was fortunate that my life was saved. In the middle of the Yangtze River, where there is no influence from the government and even most clans cannot do anything about it, it is not surprising if something happens, so this is a cheap price.
But that was then.
The man was about to turn and climb over the railing when a bandit behind him whispered something into his ear.
“… … hmm?”
For a moment, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he slowly turned around again.
The man’s eyes were fixed on one spot after scanning the people who were nervous again without knowing why.
“this… … “I didn’t know there was a famous person riding there.”
At the end of his gaze, Sojeongbok stiffened for a moment and chewed the flesh inside his mouth.
“I never thought there would be a special sign for the famous galactic journey. “If I had just gone, I would have been very disappointed.”
Cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.
If you are in this situation on flat ground, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. His feet are faster than anyone else’s, so all you have to do is run away without confronting him. But this is on the wide and deep Yangtze River. No matter how fast your feet are, it is useless.
Even if you jump into the water, there is no way you can escape from the enemies who are expert at hand techniques.
“Special mention… … . Special ticket. I never thought I would meet someone who specializes in transporting precious items. I guess I’m lucky today. Hahaha.”
The man slowly approached Sojeongbok. As if that was a signal, the enemies surrounded him all at once.
