Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 269
Episode 269. To the request of Hwanwoo Sword Seonwoo-dam, Hwa-yong-
do-sim Namgung-yeon replied in a calm tone.
“If you set fire to Walnut Mountain, the famous believers will scatter and come down from the mountain. If we strike when the enemy is unconscious, we can have the upper hand, even if we are outnumbered.”
‘omg!’
Only then did Seonwu-dam know the meaning of the phrase ‘survive by eating curses’.
If you set fire to Walnut Mountain, it is only natural that you will be criticized by the people nearby.
Furthermore, the imperial family could ask for guilt.
‘She’s a really scary lady.’
Isn’t that a tactic that can only be used in a war between nations?
I was afraid of Namgung-yeon, but also coveted for Namgoong-yeon, who was able to ignore that terrible sound.
The same goes for Namgung Byeok, the Surprising Sword King.
Setting fire to a mountain is easier said than done.
This is because it is directly related to the lives of countless people living at the foot of the mountain.
Moreover, if the fire spreads, the aftermath cannot even be dealt with.
How do you catch the fire?
If things go wrong, it may not end with a fight between Murim breakwaters.
“It is a serious crime to set fire to Yuna’s house, much less walnuts are the property of the imperial family. The imperial family will not stand still if public sentiment becomes bitter due to arson.”
“You can only worry about that after surviving.”
“…”
Namgung Byeok was at a loss for words.
right.
Worries are the responsibility of the living.
And now he was at the crossroads of life or death.
The hesitation was brief.
As long as he decided to survive even if he was criticized anyway, the outcome might have already been decided.
“What can I do?”
Namgungyeon said as if he had been waiting.
“When the wind blows from the north, you have to set fire to as wide an area as possible. It would be more effective if a master of ceremonial art could do it. The jujakdae and ligaments should be hidden in the north, where the enemy will descend.”
“The fire could burn the walnut mountain and spread to nearby villages. If that happens…”
“Never mind that. The rain that falls in the evening will extinguish the flames. After that, the cold weather will continue for a day or two, so homelessness will be a little uncomfortable.”
“Is it going to rain?”
The face of the south palace wall brightened.
From an early age, my daughter used to predict the change of the weather.
My daughter said it will rain.
Seonwoodam looked at Namgungyeon and Namgungbyeok alternately with a half-confident face.
‘her! How can anyone know that unless it’s Zhuge Liang…’
However, considering Namgung-yeon’s talent, it didn’t even sound like nonsense.
“Namgung Sojeo, did you think it was going to rain when you suggested the fire?”
“I would have said the same thing if it hadn’t rained. It is the only way we can live.”
“ah!”
An exclamation escaped Seonwoodam’s mouth.
This young lady’s wisdom and courage are certainly not common.
‘I must accept Namgung-yeon as the daughter-in-law of my family at all costs.’
If he had been fifty years younger, he would have chased after the lion himself.
Seonwudam lamented his age and looked at Namgungyeon with burning eyes.
At that time, Namgung Byeok looked around and said.
“We will use the Johoi Mountains. To do so, we need a master of spiritual art to set fire to the walnut mountain. Is there anyone who will volunteer for the job?”
“….”
The masters of Jujakdae and ligament avoid Namgung Byeok’s gaze.
Because I’m afraid of remorse.
It was acceptable to be criticized by the public for arson, but being photographed by the imperial family was another matter.
A bitter smile appeared on Namgung Byeok’s lips.
Such is the human heart of the world.
You want someone else to do the responsibilities for you.
“I will do it!”
Yeonjeokha raised his hand.
In an instant, a look of relief passed across the faces of the masters of the orthodox faction.
“Thank you.”
Namgung Byeok smiled and nodded.
If it was Yeonjeokha’s inaction, he would have played the role of more than 10 decent masters.
“Father, no Daejoo, I will do it too!”
Namgungcheon also raised his hand vigorously.
However, Namgung Byeok did not allow it.
“You are not suitable for this job because you lack cognizance.”
Namgungcheon scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed face.
As his father said, he might not know about swordsmanship, but his martial arts skills were so-so.
However, Namgungcheon’s behavior irritated others.
Muyeongbima Bang Bi-jin, Chaeju of Hyangsan Sanchae, chewed her lips.
‘Even a kid like that applies…’
Known as a master of martial arts in Green Forest, if he spares himself, he will be pointed at him for the rest of his life.
“I will.”
All the attention of the warlords turned to Bang Bi-jin.
The corners of Namgung Byeok’s mouth rose slightly.
Muyeongbima’s martial arts are known to be the best in Hanam.
I am just grateful that he said he would do it himself when it was not enough even if he asked.
“Thank you. please.”
No one volunteered more after Muyeongbima.
After a while, Nam Gung-yeon took Yeon Jeok-ha and Bang Bi-jin and separated from the people.
She set the wind direction and time for them and sent them off first.
***
Walnut acid.
Wangho Mountain.
New Shicho (3:00 p.m.).
Kang Sang-pi, a ghost of Baekdu Demon Army, summoned Tae Gyeong-rim, a cold-blooded horseman and the best of the Xi’an.
“Did you call the head of the house?”
“Do you know anything about the fact that the people of the world are coming to Luoyang?”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but would you really do that without going crazy?”
“Musan Nangrang is not one to talk nonsense.”
“Should I send my subordinates to investigate?”
“There is nothing like that. As you know, Walnut Mountain is on the way to White Horse Temple. You can’t go to Luoyang without passing us, so why bother?”
“What if?”
“Take a good look around the mountain. Are there any suspicious guys snooping around?”
“yes.”
“And speaking of women…”
Kang Sang-pi was speechless, and Tae Gyeong-rim replied coldly.
“I’ll bring more if you need them.”
Kang Sang-pi is a Madou who reveals her female color.
Catching children for him has been Tae Kyung-lim’s main task lately.
“Strain out the old ones and bring in the fresh ones.”
“You mean old?”
Tae Kyung-rim tilted his head.
I’ve never given anything over 30, but I didn’t understand when they said I was old.
“Ugh! For rejuvenation to be effective, even in your twenties is a precarious time. What’s more, there’s something to be gained by sleeping with someone in their thirties who are in their thirties.”
“Ah yes.”
That’s why it was said to bring the children.
The girls who had been left alone because they were young passed by in my mind.
‘Was it Ujangsinchon?’
This is when Tae Kyung-rim is looking back at the village near Mt. Hodu.
Loud footsteps were heard outside.
Soon after, someone called out.
“Princess! It’s fire! Walnut Mountain is on fire!”
Kang Sang-pi and Tae Kyung-rim, who were surprised, jumped out of their seats and got up.
The most terrible sound that people who live in the mountains do not want to hear is wildfire.
Cudang-tang thump.
Kang Sang-pi broke open the door and ran out to the floor.
indeed! Cloudy smoke was rising from three sides around Wangho Hut.
Kang Sang-pi, who was very angry, shouted at Tae Kyung-rim.
“this guy! That’s why I didn’t tell you to ban mountain climbing! What the hell is this all about!”
“Obviously it alerted the nearby villages. Even the herbalists didn’t come…”
“Then what is that fire! Did the ghost even play with fire?”
As the smoke grew thicker, veins appeared on Kang Sang-pi’s face.
Tae Kyung-rim, who had no way of knowing the inside story, lowered his head and waited for Kang Sang-pi’s anger to subside.
Kang Sang-pi, who was shaking his feet and saying ‘fuck fuck’, said.
“Send your men to put out the fire! If it’s already out of hand, run right away and report it!”
“yes!”
Tae Kyung-rim hurriedly withdrew from Kang Sang-pi’s face.
After a while, about 150 masters poured out of Wangho Mountain.
It took less than a minute (15 minutes) for them to return to their places after running down the mountain.
One of them said to Tae Gyeong-lim, who was still standing at the front gate.
“Hobeop-nim! A strong wind blows and I can’t use my hands. The slash-and-burn villagers could not be seen as if they had already fled. Looks like we’ll have to leave the cabin too.”
“Only the north side is a little better, and three sides are a sea of fire!”
“Damn it!”
Tae Kyung-rim, who was very angry, hit the pillar.
With a ‘bang’ sound, the embankment on one side of the front door collapsed.
One of his careless subordinates added a comment.
“If the smoke gets thicker, we might be stranded.”
“shut up!”
Surprised by Tae Kyung-rim’s scream, the man shrugged his shoulders.
Tae Kyung-rim, who was not satisfied with that, approached him and punched him.
“know! Baby! I know someone has no eyes! What the fuck are you so afraid of a wildfire!”
puck. puck. puck.
Tae Kyung-rim’s punches stopped only after the man collapsed.
About 150 famous religious leaders kept their mouths shut and waited for instructions to come.
However, Tae Kyung-rim quickly turned around and disappeared into the cabin without saying anything.
Mekehan smoke slowly covered the Wangho Hut.
Has half an angle (about 7 minutes) passed?
Tae Kyung-rim, who went to the main house, came out with Kang Sang-pi.
Behind them, they could see the workers in the hut and the captured women.
Kang Sang-pi ordered his subordinates to wait.
“If the north side is okay, go down there. On the way, you will come to Ujangsinchon. We’ll see you again there. Leave everyone.”
“Honorable name!”
Amidst the thick smoke, famous school masters answered loudly.
Soon after, about 150 masters dispersed.
Kang Sang-pi muttered as he waved his hand to disperse the overwhelming smoke.
“This is it, there is no other hell.”
Kang Sang-pi, who was shaking his hands nervously, hesitated.
It’s because I suddenly thought of Cheonjimaeng.
“It’s complicated, it’s really complicated.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m saying this because the fire broke out shortly after bringing up the story of Cheonjimaeng.”
“If you open your mouth, they are the ones who say that they are for the sake of the people. They won’t be able to start a fire even if the imperial family is afraid.”
“It doesn’t.”
While nodding his head, Kang Sang-pi was a little embarrassed.
Isn’t it said that even a mouse bites a cat when cornered?
Of course, a fire of this magnitude is far beyond biting a cat.
But he soon shook off his thoughts.
The subordinates always gather around the twelve horse soldiers.
The twelve horsemen were as many as seven.
The first ten people were brought, but the three were secretly attached to the back of the Eight Emperors a while ago.
‘I can’t beat them with only 200 people.’
Wouldn’t it be unknown if all the heavens and the earth were coming? Before that, there was no way.
“Danglord, the smoke is getting thicker. The descent may be covered, so stop going.”
At Tae Kyung-rim’s urging, Kang Sang-pi walked away with a regretful face.
When all the masters of the famous religion disappeared, the workers and women hurriedly ran away.
***
As Kang Sang-pi thought, the famous cults centered around the twelve horse soldiers.
That didn’t change even in the desperate moment of running away from the flames.
Ok Gye-saeng, who was fighting the 12 horsemen, ran down the road swinging his sword and knocking down a pine tree.
I couldn’t see the fire yet, but the thick smoke choked my breath.
how far did it go down?
Feeling that the acting was a little less, he shouted ‘Puha!’ It’s time to breathe a big sigh of relief.
A sonorous voice came from somewhere.
“Come on. Seeing my heart flutter after a long time, it looks like twelve horsemen, right?”
