Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 84
Episode 84. Wisdom to become the Son of Heaven
“That’s right….”
Cheon Shin-woo then said to Han Yi-bi.
“It seems like you are also interested in that target.”
Han Ibi’s face was so embarrassed that she scratched her head.
“no. “I’m just trying to help…”
“Well, it’s good anyway. “What happened to the target?”
“It’s a shame, but out of fear for my life, I threw myself off the cliff to lure them away and then ran away.”
Then, didn’t Cheon Shin-woo suddenly go crazy?
“Ha ha ha ha ha. I see. “Is this… is this all heaven’s will?”
At that time, Jong Li-hyuk asked.
“Excuse me, but may I ask who commissioned that token?”
After receiving the question, Cheon Shin-woo closed his eyes, then opened them and spoke.
“It’s Qilianmun.”
Then Yeo Nanju said in surprise.
“Qilian Gate? If it’s Qilianmun… isn’t it a mysterious group that we only hear about in the rivers? “You mean something like that really happened?”
“That’s right. Every time there is one. Qilianmun actually exists. Aren’t I the witness? “It was the great elder of Qilianmun who asked me to transport the cargo.”
Jong Lihyuk asked.
“Where was the destination of the target?”
“The destination was… the imperial palace.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
Even So Eun-ri, who showed little change in emotion, was surprised by his answer.
Yeo Nanju asked.
“Who is in the imperial palace…”
Cheon Shin-woo answered with a stern expression.
“For your safety, I can’t tell you any more…”
Han Ibi asked.
“What was the target?”
Cheon Shin-woo shook his head.
“We don’t know either. That was one of the conditions for transporting expensive cargo. However…”
The eyes of the companions were focused on Cheon Shin-woo.
“…The warning was repeated several times that if we fail, we will be held accountable and face extinction.”
Ebi Han said.
“They really are like bastards.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. I mean. Why didn’t I understand what you knew just by hearing it? I don’t know how this information, which was treated as confidential, leaked out, but a little while ago, the leaders and I were attacked by two bandits at the same time. “It happened.”
There was silence for a moment.
Because we all knew the story behind it…
It was Jong Ri-hyuk who broke the silence.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
Cheon Shin-woo sighed again and said.
“How can I help you now? “It’s just…”
When Cheon Shin-woo seemed to hesitate, Jong Ri-hyuk said.
“It is okay for the Lord to speak in peace.”
“Then, shamelessly, I would like to ask you a favor.”
“All right.”
“Right now… go to Hubei Province, where Lu Xianpiao State is located… and tell the people in my family to take refuge.”
Then Han Ibi, who was surprised, intervened.
“No… you mean to say that exterminating them wasn’t just something you said?”
However, instead of answering Han Yi-bi’s question, Cheon Shin-woo looked at Jong Ri-hyuk and asked again.
“Will you listen?”
Surprisingly, Jong Li-hyuk nodded without any hesitation.
“I will.”
Ignoring Han Yi-bi and Yeo Nan-ju, who had shocked expressions…
‘I’m going to be amazed. That damn main character’s illness… We’re so busy right now that we’re dying, so how can we…’
Han Ibi grumbled to herself, but isn’t it possible to talk carelessly about a dying person?
At that time, Cheon Shin-woo laughed once as if he was satisfied and said.
“Thank you. thank you.”
Then there was a bit of silence.
The raindrops had now completely decreased and were so slanted that it could almost be called a drizzle.
But I guess it’s not that unusual.
Jong Ri-hyuk put his finger on Cheon Shin-woo’s nose.
I couldn’t feel any breathing.
The national leader of the country, who once competed for supremacy in the central region, lost his life in vain like this.
Surrounded by people I don’t even know.
* * *
Dawn was already breaking.
Let alone sleeping on the street, I actually spent the night like this.
It was fortunate that the bandits, dead or alive, did not return this way.
Han Yi-bi and Jong Ri-hyuk dug the ground with difficulty using tools they did not have.
The only consolation is that it was a little less difficult after the rain.
Han Ibi was completely dissatisfied.
‘It’s really hard to chase after a main character who pretends to be nice.’
The novel ends with the line, ‘I buried it in a sunny place,’ but actually digging the land is a lot of work!
‘Those who write such things clearly haven’t even served in the military. ‘How hard it is to dig!’
Jong Ri-hyuk asked Han Yi-bi.
“What happened?”
Han Ibi said with a quick glance.
“Oh my. Ask quickly too. “My younger brother’s life was going back and forth, but you’re chasing the wrong person…”
“Answer me quickly.”
“Ah yes. Yes, that’s right. So….”
Han Yi-bi told Jong Ri-hyuk and his companions about the room disinfection and what happened with Yun Ui-seol.
With a bit of exaggeration and editing…
Yeo Nan-ju said.
“I can’t believe it. “Are you saying that you… got involved with the leaders of the two mountains a little while ago?”
“Well, that can happen in life. What kind of fight is this?”
At that time, Jong Ri-hyuk spoke.
“let’s go.”
The two looked back at him.
Ebi Han said.
“what?”
“Let’s go.”
“now?”
“okay. “Han o’clock is busy.”
“I know. But can’t we just take a little break? After going through something so big….”
“It’s something that involves the lives of many people. Let’s leave right now. “Hurry up and get ready.”
Ugh?
Several people’s lives are at stake?
How can you talk about your life when going to the Murim League?
There’s something ominous… perhaps…?
“Are you asking us to go to the Women’s Election Bureau now?”
“Of course.”
Han Ibi foamed at the mouth.
“no! Nonsense! If Jang Mun-in knows….”
“Cheongseong is a prestigious political party, so if you act in pursuit of righteousness, you will never be held accountable.”
Han Ibi ended up becoming a mute.
If you just say something principled like that, the person who answers is bound to be in trouble.
At that time, Yeo Nanju pointed to something with her finger and said.
“How do I do that?”
Yes.
There, the iron chest that protected the target was scattered on the floor.
Ebi Han said.
“What should I do? What should I do? “I have to throw it away.”
Jong Lihyuk said.
“Then leave it behind.”
Han Ibi asked back.
“what?”
Jong Lihyuk said.
“The reason we could not mark the tomb of the Lord of Heaven was to prepare for possible danger.”
Was that it? Hahaha. I thought they didn’t make it because it was difficult…
Han Ibi said.
“So now you’re telling me to throw that thing away?”
Jong Ri-hyuk glares slightly.
Oh my. Only in times like this will you act like your brother, right?
“okay. “My true.”
In reality, I am the older brother for a long time!
But… when I come to the martial arts world, I have to follow the martial arts rules.
Han Ibi grunted but eventually started moving while carrying the heavy iron chest.
Jong Lihyuk said.
“Go quickly. “You must throw it away in an uninhabited place.”
“Let’s stop worrying. I guess I’ll figure it out somehow. Anyway, okay.”
After that, Han Ibi started to climb the steep slope.
I’ve felt this many times, but I feel like I’ve really reached the highest level when it comes to mountain climbing.
Why isn’t this displayed as a level in the status window?…
‘When I go back, should I go to the Himalayas and work part-time as a sherpa?…’
While I was thinking these useless thoughts, I passed the point where I was half way there.
Finally, we reached a suitable place to dump the chest.
When I look down, I see a cliff so black that I can’t even see the end.
‘If you dump it in a place like this, no one will be able to find any trace of it. good.’
Then he thought as he lifted the box above his head.
‘What is it that makes such a great object so wrapped up in such a heavy shell?’
It was then.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the structure of the iron chest in front of me was quite strange.
Well, since it was for its intended purpose, there was no decoration or anything, but it was clear that someone had put a lot of effort into making it.
It is not easy to handle iron so freely in this era.
It was probably a work made by a craftsman.
Now, I am going to spend a lot of my life here.
At that time, I suddenly felt that something was strange.
‘Did I see it wrong?’
Han Ibi looked down at the chest for a moment and compared the depth inside and the height on the outside.
‘That’s strange. It seems like the floor is too shallow compared to the height of the box…’
Han Ibi stared at the box again.
‘Probably not, but just in case…’
Han Ibi took out the Hanzo sword.
And then…
I guess he suddenly took a picture of the inside of the chest.
Kang kang kang.
A loud sound filled the deserted mountain.
The chest was so sturdy that it didn’t seem to move at all.
Then, Han Ibi increased her strength and hit the floor even more forcefully.
‘This is really hard. I’m sure the sword won’t get damaged…’
That was then.
With a ‘clumping’ sound, I finally saw the floor split.
‘It’s a success!’
And underneath that floor….
‘It’s a double floor. There’s something hidden down there.’
It seems like something is visible through the gap.
Han Ibi put her finger between them and checked the hidden floor.
I feel something.
He pulled it out and lifted it up.
Han Ibi’s heart was pounding.
‘I… I think I found something…?’
It was an item wrapped in silk that somehow looked very luxurious.
Han Ibi carefully unfolded the silk wrapping cloth.
book.
It was a book.
Its shape was very similar to the book I had tried to throw off the cliff earlier.
Han Ibi was dazed for a moment, but soon realized the implications of this situation and thought while hitting her knee.
‘True original! It’s the original. The owner of the token hid the original under the chest!’
He quickly opened the cover of the book.
I saw the title.
‘Tactical Strategy Tenacity’
[This is a search result of the Korea Research Institute DB system.]
Name: Tactical Strategy Tenacity
Classification: Level 5
Series: Information System
Characteristics: Tactical Strategy Tenacity is an extraordinary figure from the Jin Dynasty. It is a book of strategies created by the unfortunate genius Geum Sa-ik, who was a schemer but was framed and went into exile in the Xianbei nation of Zhen Yan.
This was in fact a secret book to raise the son of heaven, and the king of Jeonyeon requested it after hearing that Geum Sa-ik, who had come to a foreign country and was living in hiding, was writing this book.
However, it is known that Geum Sa-ik, who refused, was caught and died while running away at night.
Although Geum Sa-ik turned his back on his country, he did not want his people to lose their country to the northerners.
After that, the whereabouts of the book were unknown, but it is said to contain the wisdom and knowledge that the emperor should possess, including etiquette and political strategies to be observed within the imperial or royal family, as well as military and strategic knowledge, transcending the nation.
Accordingly, rumors were rampant that whoever obtained this book would become the Son of Heaven. The book’s whereabouts are still unknown.
‘oh my god! Amazing, Great.’
Han Ibi was shocked with her mouth wide open.
Didn’t one of the hundred and eight people almost disappear by being thrown off an endless cliff?
‘Indeed, these are sinister things… They were ultimately planning to bury this book even if the object was taken away. Or maybe I was trying to find it again later… What on earth are these people who think about Ki-ryeon-moon or Gi-yeon-moon doing?’
Han Ibi flicked open the book.
The picture looked like beans sprouting during a drought and was full of words written on it.
It didn’t seem fun and of little use.
Above all, it was not the kind of martial arts level that he desperately wanted.
“damn. “I hate studying…”
But… I can’t just throw it away like this.
Han Ibi kept it in her arms.
Tiriring.
[Surprising Quest Accomplished: The target of Yeoseonpyo Country has been captured.]
Ugh. The robbery was unexpectedly successful….
[Reward 1: Tactical Strategy Tenacity is one of the few systems out of the hundred and eight. Now you can use the DB of Tactical Strategy and Persistence when necessary.]
Oh. It looks like it can be used like an herbal encyclopedia. I don’t know what it is, but it’s probably not very useless.
[Reward 2: While possessing Tactical Strategy Tenacity, the player’s wisdom increases by +200.]
Wow!
It’s about getting smarter!
‘Eek. Anyway, I took too much time. The remaining people will be worried.’
Han Ibi, feeling a little better, quickly ran down the mountain.
