Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 565
Episode 565. The martial god of Saneum-hyeon,
Suyakju.
Joyful nature.
Saneum County.
Winter was long.
It was said that spring would come only around the time I thought I was going to die.
Snow piled up on top of the compacted snow and snow piled up again on top of it.
Beast invasions became more frequent as winter deepened.
Except for the east gate, the other three gates were almost open.
Beasts came and swarmed people without even trying.
Even enemy enemies couldn’t stop the hungry beasts from taking people away.
Still, the people of Sanyin county revered Yeonjeokhe like the gods of three thousand.
It was because Yeonjeokha defeated the beast if he endured for a little while.
Compared to the past, when the beast was full and waited for it to leave, it was like heaven now.
At the same time, the authority of vigilantes increased.
Sanyin County’s restaurant and Juru tea house did not take money from the vigilantes.
As a result, the number of unmanned people who applied for the vigilante group increased.
The vigilantes suffered the most from the Beast’s attack, but the victim’s vacancy was soon filled.
Alumni.
around noon.
I looked up at the sky with stern eyes.
Looking at the gray sky, it seems that it is about to snow again before the sun goes down.
If it snowed, the beast would surely attack the next day.
How many more will die tomorrow?
Even when I was in Gangho, I thought that humans were the best of all things and the center of the universe.
That’s what I learned, and I actually did.
But in the Savior, humans were like grass in the meadow.
Beasts hunted humans to their heart’s content.
If humans had not reproduced like weeds, they would certainly have gone extinct.
Fortunately, he said, there are more people born anew than those eaten by wild beasts.
I don’t know if I can say that I’m lucky.
A sigh flowed from Yeonjeokha’s mouth as he stood on the wall and looked at the sky.
“Are you worried about anything?”
It’s a familiar, confident voice.
I glanced back and saw that the brother-in-law’s workplace excitement was approaching.
It’s the first time since we drank together at Hyeoncheonmun about a month ago.
“New boss?”
“oh! It’s an honor. You remember my name.”
Shin-yeon made a fuss that didn’t suit her.
“You are a high official. That too, brother-in-law.”
To be honest, if it was another official, I would have been vague, but since I belong to ‘brother-in-law’, I memorized it even without being aware of it. This is because it is the most difficult opponent for the thief of the green forest.
“I guess you have a lot to worry about? The hero of Saneum County.”
“Didn’t I tell you before? I…”
“I’ll listen until there.”
Shinyeon quickly stopped Yeonjeokha from speaking.
It reminded me of the fact that she, who had a relationship belatedly, hated stories like that.
“Ah yes. But what is going on here?”
“There was a murder case in Sinyangchon.”
“In Sinyangchon?”
Yeonjeokha’s eyes widened wide.
Sinyangchon is a village in the east gate.
Murder in the midst of such confusion, on the other hand, I think it was a bit too much.
“Beasts aren’t the only ones who kill people.”
“…”
It’s a word that somehow lingers.
I forgot about it for a while because of the beast, but it seems that people’s lives are still the same.
Sinyeon’s voice came to Yeonjeokha’s ears as she was nodding her head.
“Isn’t it embarrassing that Yeon Dae-hyeop killed the person who worked so hard to protect him?”
“Ah, is that so?”
In response to Yeon Jeok-ha’s question, Shin-yeon said as if she had made a promise.
“I will make sure that the efforts of the Yeondaehyeop are not in vain. I’m here to tell you that. Then I’m done.”
Shin-yeon bowed her head, bowed, and turned around.
He shook his head excitedly.
Why does she suddenly come like a wild beast and leave with an absurd resolution?
‘I’m just a diner at Hyeoncheonmun.’
Suddenly, a snowflake fell on the bridge of my nose.
It is a signal that announces the imminent appearance of the beast.
I remembered the saying, ‘Spring comes around the time I want to die like this’.
Was it because of the cold?
Feeling uncomfortable with the accumulated cold, the couple returned to the vigilante tent.
***
Spring has come around the time when Yeon Jeok-ha feels calm when he hears that someone has been taken over by a beast.
As the frozen ground melted, people’s expressions also changed.
The vigilante tents that had been erected throughout the winter were dismantled and the vigilantes scattered.
After the vigilante group was disbanded, he did not leave Hyeoncheonmun.
When spring came, So Cheon-wu, the lord of Hyeoncheonmun, took the lead in preparing for ‘Biseungwahae’.
It’s not because I have expectations for ‘non-seung and sea’.
After being criticized by Yeon Jeok-ha for Gong Ji-yu’s work, he only thought of sending Yeon Jeok-ha away.
That’s why there was no better excuse than ‘Biseungwahae’.
When So Chun-wu was busy with work that he hadn’t asked him to do, he went to Hongikbang, where he had a rivalry.
***
Hongikbang.
noon (12 noon).
Hearing that Yeon Jeok-ha had come, Hong In-bi, Hong Ik-bang’s ark, rushed out.
“Kite grand bargain! welcome! Even if it wasn’t, I’ve been waiting for you because I think it’s time for you to come.”
Not to mention Hong Inbi, no one in Hongikbang dared to make eye contact with Yeonjeokha.
He was called the God of War in Sanyin County.
As Yeon Jeok-ha’s reputation increased, Hong Ik-bang became obsessed with finding people.
So the result was not cool, but I was able to face the enemy with dignity.
Hong In-bi took Yeon Jeok-ha to the doctor’s office and sat him at the top table.
Then, standing in front of him respectfully, I reported the progress so far.
“Starting in late autumn, we have investigated three of the thirteen provinces of Suyak State by yesterday. But there was no one he was looking for. I couldn’t speed because of the winter wind. Now that it is spring, we should be able to investigate all ten castles by autumn at the latest.”
At the word autumn, Yeonjeokha’s grass died.
Was Namgung-yeon, the 10th warrior, in Suyakju?
With her beauty and outstanding hair, rumors spread not only in Suyakju but also in Kuju. However, there was no story anywhere that could be assumed to be Namgung-yeon.
Thinking like that makes my heart heavy.
At that time, Inbi Hong’s voice was heard.
“Don’t worry too much. Would the awl in your pocket hide it?”
The couple who had been listening silently held out a sack containing 70 gold coins.
It was part of the money from selling the ‘Thousand Years Spirit Fruit’.
“It’s seventy gold coins. If there is any news, send a person to Hyeoncheonmun. If you go there, you will know where I am.”
He said it because he was afraid that he might be initiated into the soyo sect.
Even if he was unable to enter the Soyo sect, he planned to inform Hyeoncheonmun of his destination.
Unlike before, Hong In-bi didn’t pack the money and only looked at Yeon Jeok-ha.
It is now a matter of trust, not money.
The moment he lost his trust, Hong Ik-bang and himself had to be considered dead.
After letting out a deep sigh with his mind complicated, he got up from his seat.
***
The first day of April.
Hyeoncheonmun.
In the morning, local officials and officials visited Xian Tian Gate to say hello to Lian Zi He.
Among them, the distraction of the brother-in-law’s workplace was included.
Others found it difficult to reach the enemy and hung around her, but she was different.
Shin-yeon took care of Yeon Jeok-ha as if it were her own business.
“Yeondaehyeop and other munpas start around the middle of the day, but isn’t it too early?”
“is it so? So Munju says it’s not too late to go by now.”
“Are you not late? It looks like you want to kick out the kite daegyeop fairly quickly. Even if I can’t go now, I will have to stay in Simu-hyeon for 15 days.”
“does not matter. Either Simu-hyeon or Saneum-hyeon.”
In fact, that place was there for Yeon Jeok-ha, who was not a Savior person.
When he, the person in charge, took it lightly, Shin-yeon stopped talking.
It was because there was nothing good about making Hyeoncheonmunju a strange person.
“Is that person that righteous and virtuous?”
Sinyeon’s finger pointed to one side.
Yeonjeokha, who glanced at the place she pointed to, nodded.
“that’s right.”
“Ohh! You look fine?”
“He’s just a normal guy.”
Shinyeon tilted her head at Yeonjeokha’s bad reputation.
“Why are you taking such a person with you?”
“I know a guy like that, but I couldn’t put it into words, so I couldn’t understand him. Even if you know it, it’s only that time, so if you turn around, it’s the same thing again. We need to keep those guys close by and engrave them on our bones.”
“What will you engrave?”
He scratched his head in response to her persistent question.
To live kindly without bullying others?
Or do you live like a human being?
But when I try to say it, I wonder what it means in the Savior.
“Iknow, right? Are you suddenly confused? There was definitely something I wanted to teach you.”
“Whoops! Maybe it’s not cooking? I heard that he learned how to cook a lion after he died all winter.”
“As you go along, you will find out. What should I engrave on that sane guy?”
“Please don’t kill me. Even if you don’t, there’s a lot of work to do.”
I laughed at her words.
It’s like a brother-in-law’s job.
“If you’re going to kill me, I won’t drag you around with difficulty. And what a soft-hearted person I am.”
“Oh, you’re soft.”
As the two were talking about Jeong Deok-haeng, So Cheon-wu, the head of Hyeoncheonmun, appeared.
Local dignitaries and officials flocked to Xiao Tianyu.
Su Tianyu began to give a long speech surrounded by people.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was watching So Chun-wu from a distance, murmured.
“Because I didn’t really like people like Somunju.”
“So what? Have you changed your mind?”
“no. I really hate it.”
“why?”
“You are only trying to use the object you are supposed to protect. If it is sweet, it is swallowed, and if it is used, it is spit out in the name of serving a great cause. Pretending to be for a greater cause while fulfilling one’s own greed. I’m not compatible with people like that.”
When Cheonjimaeng’s Jegal Seung-un suddenly came to mind, Yeonjeokha lightly sighed.
People enthusiastically clapped and cheered at what Xiao Tianyu said at that time.
Yeonjeokha, who was watching him, asked.
“Originally, if you go to ‘Biseungwahae’, people gather like this to congratulate you, right?”
“Not at all. They are all people who have gathered to get acquainted with the Yeondaehyeop and even their familiarity.”
“aha!”
“The cow munju uses it sparingly and eats it. Where is the launching ceremony and where is the speech in ‘Biseungwahae’, which will fall anyway? I’m just blowing the trumpet thanks to you.”
Yeon Jeok-ha glanced at Sin-yeon.
As expected, his brother-in-law’s high-ranking official seems to have sharp eyes.
It’s surprising that such a person with such great intuition could fail the ‘non-existent’ three times.
‘Can Sojeo Gong and I pass through the non-seung and the sea?’
Confidence that soared without knowing that it was high in the sky suddenly fell.
After a while, the event, which was neither a ‘launching ceremony’ nor a ‘speech’, ended.
As people began to gather, he bid farewell to Shin-yeon.
“My boss, you catch a lot of bad guys. I’m leaving.”
Without looking back, he strode towards the front door.
Gong Ji-yu, who was surrounded by people, hurriedly followed him.
Finally, Jeong Deok-haeng left behind the tearful farewell of his family and friends and left Hyeoncheonmun.
The people who missed the chance to say hello scattered one by one with dejected faces.
That’s how I took a step forward as a savior who is a rival of the martial god of Saneum County.
