Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 35
35 times. Didn’t they tell you to keep your enemies close?
Poongyeoncho asked, staring at the fairly high mountain and nodding.
“Do you know anything about the red bonds made by Noh Shim?”
“I don’t know, but I’ve heard of the name of the owner, Tongcheonhyeolbu Hyeokryeonhu.”
“omg! You seem to be pretty good with an axe. Seeing that it has reached the sky.”
Poongyeoncho nodded, but a group of people slowly approached from behind. Seeing the flag on the wagon, it seems to be a mark.
just as expected?
A brave-looking man in his late 40s walked up to me quickly and started talking to me.
“haha! hello? My name is Lee Moon-yeop, the head of the phoenix flag country. It’s not enough, but Kangho’s friends call me Yuunbyeolgeom.”
Lee Mun-yeop took a light look at the faces of the Five Bon 10 Girls.
When I met a dozen or so unfamiliar warriors during the trip—and in front of Mt. Palgong—I was terrified. That’s why I came forward and said hello.
He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the light shining in the eyes of about a dozen people. Through his experiences so far, he was convinced that they were soldiers of the political faction.
The fourth Heo Imdal, who happened to be close to him, responded with a nonchalant face.
“I see. We are the disciples of Biryongmun. I’m on my way to the Ascension Gate in Namjikryeseong.”
“Ascension Gate?”
Lee Mun-yeop looked at the Five Bon 10 Girls with a little surprise.
Heo Imdal was a bit uneasy because the other party was flattered, but he nodded because it was a quick step.
“yes.”
Then Lee Mun-yeop asked with his eyes sparkling.
“What’s going on at the Ascension Gate?”
“Ah, that’s…”
Heo Imdal, who was going out with great energy, blurted out his words. It’s because no one has shown interest in this way until now.
Heo Imdal, who was hesitant, took the place of Takgomyeong.
“I can’t tell you that because it’s in the text.”
Then Lee Mun-yeop realized his rudeness and blushed.
“Oh sorry. I was glad to hear that there is an Ascension Gate on my wife’s side, so I stopped.”
It was a long time ago, so my memory is fuzzy, but Ascension Gate was not Sapa. If they were Sapa, they would have remembered it clearly.
The old man smiled and nodded his head.
“Haha, that’s right. I was on my way to ask for help. The text and the Ascension Gate are like one family.”
Lee Mun-yeop’s face widened at the words, “It’s like one family.”
“That’s right. Are you guys crossing Palgongsan Mountain today too?”
“Are you going to do that?”
“ah! Then why don’t you go with us? I heard that the bandits of Mt. Palgong are rampant these days. We prepared well, but I think it would be better if there were a lot of people.”
“I’ll talk to the big brother.”
“Ah yes, I would like to go with you. i look forward to.”
Tak Go-myeong went to Poong Yeon-cho, leaving behind Lee Mun-yeop, who even silently bowed.
“Did you hear my brother? The total number of votes from the phoenix sign country wants to cross the mountain together. What should we do?”
Poongyeoncho’s gaze was directed to the Gumilbokgeom Simyanggak. It is to refer to his experienced advice.
Shen Yang-gak, a thief to the core, answered without hesitation.
“This is like a pumpkin rolling in through the vine. When a red bond appears, look at the situation and attack from behind, and if nothing goes wrong, just go over the mountain quietly, right?”
Then Imdal Heo, who had good hair, objected.
“That doesn’t seem like much. Didn’t the people from Daebyeol Sanchae tell you not to go hiking in other sanchae areas? If this is an area of red bonds, you might just do good things and get criticized.”
There was some truth in his words, so Poongyeoncho could not hastily come to a conclusion.
Of course, ‘good work’ is to help the red bonds to hit the mark. However, if the red bonds came out brazenly because they did not want to share their wealth, they could have ended up eating only swearing.
As the worry grew longer, the third Ma Hyeong-do said a word.
“Isn’t the warrior of your brother’s mark over twenty? If we add up, we are over 30. Will the red bonds show their face? If you don’t have to meet red sachae, the dryness is running out, so burying it…”
When the story of eating came out, the five-year-olds said one word at a time.
“If I go with Pyo-guk, will you share some?”
“They say they eat well.”
“You eat well. That’s right, isn’t it there before the hostess cooks?”
“No, there are many different types. It’s their job to go around.”
“Older brother is right. It will be better than those of us who eat beef jerky every day.”
As interest in wealth faded, the topic moved to food. Five Bon 10 girls are generally inclined to ‘the food of the country seems to be okay’.
Poong Yeon-cho, who had been listening quietly, glanced at Yeon Jeok-ha’s complexion.
Yeonjeokha is also concentrating on the story of eating with a smile.
Seeing that, the desire to refuse to accompany them completely disappears.
If you are not going to visit Jeoksachae, it seems okay to cross the mountain with Pyoguk. As Ma Hyeong-do said, it was also concerned that the dry weight was slowly showing the bottom.
“Second. Go ahead and see if you can provide food while you accompany them. If they give you food, go with them, or just tell them to go first.”
“All right.”
Tak Go-myeong hurriedly returned to Lee Mun-yeop.
After a while, Tak Go-myung smiled awkwardly and said to Lee Mun-yeop, who was looking at him with eyes full of expectations.
“It’s because we’re a bit short on dry weight. If the target country wants to share food, we will go together. If not, we decided to visit the nearest village first.”
Lee Mun-yeop shook his head as if he understood.
“ah! If so, we will provide you with food while we cross the mountain.”
Lee Mun-yeop put a clue, ‘While crossing the mountain’.
He didn’t have the confidence to constantly feed eleven people.
Lee Mun-yeop, head of the Chong-pyo, immediately returned to the phoenix flag country and announced the joining of the Biryongmun.
One of the Pyo-du said while peeking at the Five Bon 10 Girls with half-doubtful eyes.
“Chief Chief of Staff, these are the people I met on the way, are you really okay?”
“I know very well what Kwak Pyo-du is worried about. But think about it. Wouldn’t it be more disturbing if they said they were suspicious? Even if everything else can be faked, the eyes cannot be faked. If you look in their eyes, you will think that it was good to accompany them.”
“Yes…”
Kwak Won-ui did not vomit any more at the words of the general voter.
Since he decided to accompany them, he now had to trust the experience and insight of the head of the Chong Pyo. Besides, as the general vote said, it was reluctant to go into the mountains with soldiers like that on the back.
“Didn’t they originally tell you to keep your enemies close? Better to watch them up close. Rather than being stabbed in the back for not knowing.”
“It seems that the general manager is right. We will take a closer look.”
Kwak Won-ui’s expression finally relaxed.
***
Mt. Palgong red bonds.
A thief gasped for breath and ran into the hut of Chaeju Tongcheonhyeolbu Hyeokryeonhu.
“omg! omg! I got a call from Chaeju-nim from under the mountain. The phoenix mark is coming.”
“Huh huh? Then you should prepare.”
After the revolution, the thief continued to speak.
“Yeah, but they say there are a lot of armed people.”
“How many are there?”
“I am over thirty.”
After the revolution, he frowned.
I was going to play well and participate in the green forest competition, but I feel bad that there are so many escorts.
Noh Yang-jin, the death penalty slaughterer of fan stock, threw out a word.
“If the number of markers is that high, I think the markers will be quite valuable. Shall we poke it?”
“yes? It breaks my heart to hear that there are so many signs.”
After the Revolution, his eyes were glistening with greed.
“If we just let them go, they might look down on us. We have a lot more heads.”
As Noh Yang-jin gently seduced him, a lion’s roar burst out of Hyeok-ryeon-hu’s mouth.
“Sea Pearl! Who is laughing at red bonds! Call all the people together!”
“yes!”
The bandit went out and lightly tapped the bronze bell hanging in the hut.
Deng deng deng.
The sound of a bell, neither small nor loud, resounded around the sanchae.
Soon after the revolution, bandits swarmed in front of the hut. The number reached sixty.
As usual, Yangjin Noh caught the wind first.
“It is said that the phoenix flag passes through Mt. Palgong. They say there are about 30 envoys, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just send them away. We’re not even blind. Am I wrong?”
“you’re right!”
When the subordinates responded, a fishy smile appeared on Noh Yang-jin’s lips.
“Who is the owner of Mt. Palgong?”
“It’s red bonds!”
“Okay, let’s clearly teach those younger children who the owner of Mt. Palgong is today!”
“Wow!”
At the instigation of Noh Yang-jin, the bandits waved their weapons and cheered.
As the atmosphere heated up moderately, Noh Yang-jin quietly withdrew.
Eventually, Hyeokryeonhu took the lead with a huge axe, and about sixty thieves followed.
An ox-carriage from the Phoenix Pyoguo entered Palgongsan Mountain.
In front of and behind it, about 30 warriors armed with swords are walking in formation.
The 5 Bon 10 Girls happened to be walking in the lead with the total vote. It happened because Lee Mun-yeop, the head of the total vote, was standing shoulder to shoulder with the Oh Bon 10 girls.
Of course, it was according to the intention of the experienced Lee Mun-yeop, but the Oh Bong-sip-girls did not know.
Shim Yang-gak glanced at Lee Mun-yeop with eyes that seemed ridiculous, but that was all. Since he had no plans to rob the flag anyway, he decided to pretend he didn’t know.
It must have been about an hour (two hours) since we entered Palgongsan Mountain.
Kurur.
A log tumbled down the road that the wagon could pass.
Soon after, a wooden spear flew in and landed on the road.
No matter how old it was, a faded, light-green cloth hung limply from the window sill.
That is a sign of greenery, no matter who sees it. It is also a green forest with a long history and tradition.
Lee Mun-yeop’s face hardened with tension.
With the eyes that Poongyeoncho was in trouble, I glanced around at the Obong Ten Girls. It was not enough to enter another greening area, and he was accompanied by a sign country, so he was at a loss as to how to solve the problem in the future.
Sseuseuk.
Thieves with ferocious faces appeared from all sides.
Lee Mun-yeop, the head of the general vote, said while shouting at the bandits.
“My name is Lee Mun-yeop, the head of the phoenix flag country. In Gangho, it is called as Yuun Byeolgeom. It is an honor to meet the heroes of Mt. Palgong. I should have asked for your understanding before passing the mountain, but I couldn’t. Please be lenient.”
Chaeju Hyeokryeonhu, who was among the bandits, stepped out.
“Hehe, Lee Mun-yeop. Your liver is swollen. Did you think that increasing the number of heads would send you off quietly?”
“It can’t be. I had a separate gift prepared for Hyuk Daehyeop.”
Lee Mun-yeop took out a leather pouch from inside his bosom and showed it.
“How much?”
“It’s a hundred hermits.”
Hyeokryeonhu looked at the pouch and Lee Mun-yeop alternately, but his expression was ambiguous. Of course, it can be said that it is on the generous side in terms of the toll tax of one target country. However, considering the money to be spent at the Green Forest Competition, there was still a lot of shortage.
Fan owner Noh Yang-jin suddenly intervened.
“There was a big event in the forest, so we needed more money. So give me another 100 nyang or leave the wagon and go!”
Lee Mun-yeop frowned when he was told to give another 100 nyang.
In fact, even 100 nyang was not a small amount of money.
In addition, there is no guarantee that you will resign if you give 100 more nyang as requested. Because the thieves in Green Forest raised and lowered their money according to their mood.
It seems that the negotiations will work out only when this side shows that they have no intention of being taken lightly. To do so, the cooperation of the Biryongmun is essential.
Contemplating, Lee Mun-yeop decided to think about the Poongyeoncho next to him.
“Pung Daehyup, they ask me to give you another hundred nyang. What do you think? If you look down on me once, you will want to peel off the skin and eat it…”
Then Poong Yeoncho pulled out his beard with a puzzled face.
Looking at it, it seems that Lee Mun-yeop has no intention of willingly giving away 100 nyang.
I wanted to get over it quietly, but to be involved in such a bargain in someone else’s area!
