Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 538
< Return to War, Episode 38 >
The first destination is Mt. Wudang in Hubei. It is a place that can be called a pillar of the Jeongdo Murim along with Shaolin, which is called the headquarters of the martial arts world, so it was also one of the places where the influence of the Jeongdo martial arts was very strong.
Therefore, it can be said to be a place like hell for those who commit crimes or are wanted.
“Hmm…”
Jang Sam-tae, who was driving the carriage, was sweating profusely. The attention pouring in from all over is no joke. Even though he was wearing a hat and covering his face, it seemed to emphasize that he was suspicious.
But people soon turned their gaze towards the group behind the coach seats. It seems that I am more curious about the others who are not visible than the person driving the horse.
“Ugh… I’m really nervous.”
“If you haven’t committed a crime, be confident.”
“No, Master Jang! “Those guys are all guys who came for my head?!”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon, who was sitting in the coach seat with him, and whispered softly. I knew that I would be in big trouble if my voice was heard at all, so I kept my voice quiet as much as possible.
It’s not scary if one or two attack you.
But if they attack in droves, who will be able to handle it?
However, since Dan Woo-hyeon or the other two old men are unlikely to help, it will not be easy to overcome the difficulty alone.
Maybe this time I will die…
My two still young children and Maehyang glimmered before my eyes.
Damn it… I wasn’t following along.
“Wait!”
At that time, someone blocked the front of the carriage and shouted.
Several men moved in unison and surrounded the carriage, and among them, a man who appeared to be a leader approached and glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae.
“I came from the Hubei branch of the Cheondohoe.”
“however?”
Dan Woo-hyeon also looked at the man quietly.
There is not even any emotion in his calm gaze. Like what? It seemed like he was spitting out the words.
The man broke into a cold sweat.
“I heard that a criminal being chased by Cheondohoe has entered Hubei. “I’m sorry, but I think you should take off your hat and reveal your face, and let everyone inside down.”
“what?! “Such a dog-”
Jang Sam-tae jumped up from his seat in tears at the command-like words. At that moment, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard from all directions, but that was by no means an illusion.
The warriors of the Cheondohoe all drew their swords and pointed them at Jang Sam-tae.
It couldn’t have been a very fast and precise movement.
But Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t even blink.
He just smiled and opened his mouth.
“Someone would think that the Cheondohoe is an organization that operates under orders from the emperor.”
“What… what?”
“It means that Cheondohoe or whatever has no authority to block my path.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression and gaze were very cold.
In reality, Moorim is a place where only those with power can raise their voices. Therefore, there is a background called Cheondohoe, and the warriors who hold swords for it are equivalent to the power of the emperor in this central plain.
All martial artists would think so.
So people were watching with bated breath.
“This… How dare this person insult the Cheondohoe?!”
wickedness!
In an instant, the man swung his sword towards Dan Woo-hyeon. The fact that he was much faster with his feet and sword than others made me feel that his skills were by no means average.
The blade threatened his neck with a difference of a piece of paper, and he tried to stop, but at that moment, someone came out from behind and pulled out a sword.
Kang-!
“Huh?!”
Obviously, the man would have been much faster.
However, his blade bounced and flew up, and soon his body was pushed away by the force.
“If you swing your sword at anyone… your neck will not be intact. You…” The moment
Namgung
So-hye appeared, the wind blew.
Even Namgung So-hye, who appeared while speaking, had a proud smile on her face, probably because she felt that she looked really cool like this.
But the wind was as strong as a storm, and her long hair began to flutter wildly in all directions.
“….”
“….”
Contrary to the stylish appearance, the long hair rose up and even covered the face, so anyone could see that it would be more appropriate to call it the advent of a ghost rather than the advent of a fairy.
“You made a great appearance. “It’s a ghost coming…”
“It’s not a ghost!”
Namgung Sohye blushed bright red and screamed. It was never like this because she wanted it to be. Who would have thought that such a wind would blow at that moment?
Namgung So-hye, who lowered her head, was so embarrassed that she could not bear to raise her head and entered the carriage again.
Jang Sam-tae giggled like crazy at that sight.
“Oh my gosh! “I’m dying, I’m dying!”
“You are noisy too. “Drive a carriage.”
The man was speechless as he looked at the group.
Although it was said to be a threat, the sword that came out from inside the carriage and was outstretched struck down his sword that went in first.
Even in a situation that would have surprised anyone, they continued the story without even paying attention as if it was natural.
They are not ordinary guys.
Gulp –
I drooled dryly and broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.
However, the man could not let them go gracefully, as it would be like tarnishing the name of the Cheondohoe if they were let go without even checking them here.
“Pfft… right now…?!”
“Lord… aren’t you my lord! How could it be in a place like this?!”
At that time, a loud voice was heard from somewhere.
The man frowned and turned his head, but without realizing it, his eyes widened.
There is probably no one in Uichang today who does not know that face.
The wise spirit and hero of Akyang.
Wasn’t it Hong Won-chang?
He rushed over with his subordinates and bowed his head in front of Dan Woo-hyeon.
“Are you really my lord? “This isn’t a dream, is it?”
“It’s been a while.”
“haha-! It seems like it’s already been over a year since I said hello. Now, don’t stay here, let’s go over there. “There is a place where I am staying.”
“is it? “That would be better.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also smiled slightly and nodded. He still had a calm expression, as if he didn’t think this meeting was a coincidence.
At that time, the carriage door opened and Dansomi appeared.
“Wow, hello, uncle?”
“So… isn’t it Somi?! You were there too. ha ha ha! “This man has met his fortune today!”
Hong Won-chang, who was so good, danced smoothly.
Not only his expression but also his eyes seemed excited, as if he was thinking that he would finally be able to shake off the worries he had been holding on to for a long time.
“hurry-! Let’s go! I will give you a big treat today. ha ha ha-!”
Hong Won-chang smiled broadly and climbed onto the coach seat. Naturally, Dan Woo-hyeon entered the carriage, and only then did the carriage, which had stopped, slowly start to leave.
“….”
“What is this…?”
At such a sight, the Cheondohoe men could only stare blankly.
The thrilling tension could not be felt anywhere, and those who had drawn their swords were frozen and unable to move, like children who did not know what to do, as they watched the carriage leaving without being able to retract it.
Hong Won-chang’s residence is a manor used by Uichang County. Therefore, it is the largest, most gigantic, and magnificent place in Uichang.
Countless delicacies began to be prepared across the large dining table.
Not only dishes that are famous around here, but also dishes that are not easy to find. Also, if we take a look at the items tailored to Dansomi’s tastes, there will be over twenty in number.
This was the part that showed how sincere Hong Won-chang was towards Dan Woo-hyeon.
“You have no idea how much I missed you, my lord.”
As if he were flattering someone, Hong Won-chang bought the most expensive liquor and carefully poured it into Dan Woo-hyeon’s glass. Afterwards, he smiled brightly and filled the glasses of the two old men.
“Whenever you want to see me, it’s when you’re in trouble.”
At that moment, Hong Won-chang was startled and raised his eyes.
However, he soon smiled and erased his expression, but his face was covered in cold sweat, so it was easy to read his thoughts.
Namgungcheon clicked his tongue and Sadohak raised his glass.
Aren’t they the two who are suffering the most damage because of Hong Won-chang?
“Hehehe… can that be possible?”
“Why is it becoming more and more similar to Samtae?”
“Hehe, let’s pay for the night.”
Hong Won-chang closed his mouth for a moment.
When I glanced at Jang Sam-tae who was eating, the two people’s eyes met. Jang Sam-tae, who was frowning, said with an expression of unwillingness, “What?” Hong Won-chang also couldn’t hide his displeasure, and the corners of his mouth wiggled as he revealed his expression.
He’s still someone I don’t like.
I really regret why they didn’t put him in prison at that time.
“But… why is that guy here? “There must be a child at home…?”
“Big! Why are you so interested in me? “Let’s just stop worrying and live.”
“Hahaha – I’m just curious. “I was wondering if he had abandoned his wife and child.”
“…Why did they come out with permission?…”
Jang Sam-tae secretly looked away to see if something was bothering him. I don’t have any sense of other things, but strangely enough, I have a sharp sense of Jang Sam-tae.
I frowned without realizing it.
“Then why are you here? “Have you taken on any other cases?”
As soon as Jang Sam-tae’s words came out of his mouth, Hong Won-chang’s eyes sparkled.
At that moment, Nangong Cheon frowned and a sigh escaped Sadohak’s mouth. Soon, the eyes of the two people turned sharp and focused on Jang Sam-tae.
“A guy like Mojiri is really…”
“Hehe… Even if he doesn’t have any sense, it’s okay if he doesn’t exist like this…”
“What did I do!?”
“done. “It’s noisy, so don’t raise your voice.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also waved his hand with an expression of unwillingness.
Jang Sam-tae, who asked something that didn’t need to be asked, and Hong Won-chang and Dan Woo-hyeon, who tried to steer the conversation in that direction, seem like all the same people.
Dan Woo-hyeon shook his head and opened his mouth.
“I stopped by to do some business…”
The moment his mouth opened, Hong Won-chang secretly clenched and unclenched five fingers. The moment they saw it, Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak were astonished, and Dan Woo-hyeon suddenly stopped talking.
Soon he looked at Hong Won-chang, and he stretched out his five fingers once again.
“So what happened again this time?”
“As expected, my lord! “I thought you would think of me!”
“It’s a bountiful harvest, really…”
“Hehehe… They say money can control ghosts, and they’re not wrong.”
The two old men looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with dumbfounded expressions.
The so-called martial god of the world kneels before money? Are you saying that even after saving up enough money to last a lifetime, you still think it’s not enough?
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
