The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 267
Episode 267
The emperor couldn’t take his eyes off the two of them.
When I got to the middle, I had no choice but to clenched my fists and jump up.
The palms of his clenched fists were damp with sweat.
Jinmu’s evaluation of her was perfect. A light but heavy knife.
The movement of the wall was really light.
Also, her stealth skills were astounding. Hiding in the opponent’s aura itself.
When I got the chance, I didn’t hesitate. The dagger, which flowed lightly and smoothly, took on tremendous weight for an instant and concentrated all its power on one point to launch a one-hit, deadly attack.
The blade did not lose its momentum in the slightest, even as it created an enormous number of illusions.
Wild flower cactus wall.
A martial artist who may be stronger than Hao Munju and Myung Se-chan in terms of the skill of murder.
Hwangshin knew that she was so strong that he couldn’t keep up with him as he is now, but he felt a strange sense of victory as a murderer and as a hermit.
“It is over.”
Jinmu, who was just watching, slowly gets up and walks.
Still unable to fully catch his rough breath, Jinmu smiles as he approaches Soyakbyeok, who is kneeling down on his knees.
“I’m pretty hurt.”
A voice full of worries but not disappointed.
“As expected, age doesn’t seem to lie.”
It was only then that the small wall stood up with difficulty and made an apologetic expression.
“It’s all like that when you’re old.”
“…”
Hwangshin frowned at Jinmu’s expression of hurtful words.
Hwangshin knew that Jinmu flinched several times during the battle.
If he had jumped in, it would have kept the slaughterhouse safe, but it would not have kept her pride.
I didn’t come forward knowing that.
Just as he could confidently stand in front of his subordinates, his subordinates also gave him a chance to become confident.
But, after worrying so much, you say things like that.
Jinmu, who didn’t even turn his head to see if he knew Hwangshin, who was glaring at Jinmu’s back as if it was ridiculous, said calmly.
“Good job. Night flowers.”
“…”
A bright smile appears on the weary face of Soyakbyeok, who had been staring blankly at him.
“…Yes, Lord.”
* * * The historic
shaman’s studio, which belongs to Sapa in Dongcheon, a small city located under Daehyang
Mountain in the north of Shaanxi, has been occupied by a group of people for some time.
It was the rebel force of Sapaecheon, who was expanding its power starting from Gansuk.
Daejeon Pavilion in the flower garden, brightly lit until late at night.
Daegung, leader of the Haomun Silver Guard, a warrior carrying a large iron club on his back, jumped several feet in one step and opened the door.
“Musketeer!”
“….”
Inside the open door, three men in a row of fifty were discussing in a serious mood while looking at a map on the table.
And Myung Se-chan, a man in a bachelor’s outfit, glaring at the door of a man carrying an iron club with sullen eyes.
“hey!”
“…yes?”
“Aren’t you arranging the names correctly?”
“…”
At Myung Se-chan’s words, Daegung stings and shrinks his neck.
“…Haha, that urgent scorpion came.”
“That is that and this is this. Call me again!”
At Myung Se-chan’s scolding, who is glaring at him as if to eat him, Jeok-saeng, who was holding a black ship, dissuades him with an embarrassed expression.
“What’s the point of calling you the title of Lord Moon?”
“Ugh! also!”
“….”
“Red Musketeer, how many times have I told you? It is a law that a proper organization from ancient times must have a hierarchy. If you don’t even follow the basic hierarchy, you’re no different from a ragtag.”
When Myung Se-chan said with a displeased expression, Cheon Woo-myeong, who was next to him, nodded as if he was right.
“That’s not Sechan, Hao Munju’s words are right. He is the musketeer appointed by the Lord Himself and raised as his proxy. Respect is natural.”
“…haha that much.”
The red-saeng raised a black line to cover his face to hide his awkward expression.
“Now treat us as well. Now, the enemy musketeer is not the body that used to lead a small saccular ligament. He is the second highest ranking person in the new Sapaecheon.”
“…ha ha ha.”
The enemy only laughed awkwardly.
Their loyalty was beyond comprehension.
God is a great person, but how can he believe in and follow a young man who is only a contract?
How surprised I was when Hao Wenju came to me a while ago and knelt down and bowed.
“Hey Daegung!”
“…yes?”
“What are you doing? Can’t you see the enemy musketeer is waiting?”
“…Oh sorry. Musketeer! I knew you were in a meeting because I had two urgent messages, but I hurriedly visited you.”
Daegung gets down on one knee as if showing off and raises the letter received through the Jeonseogu with both hands.
Myung Se-chan nodded in satisfaction at the sight of him bowing his head, then picked up the letter and politely presented it to the enemy.
“Here it is.”
“…”
It’s awkward. It’s going to be awkward.
To think that the two kings of Sapaeo, who had never been seen or even seen from a distance, were so polite to themselves.
He sighed deeply and shook his head at the atmosphere he was still unaccustomed to, and opened the book and read it.
“…!”
For a moment, there is surprise in his eyes.
“why? Is there a problem?”
“…?”
At his reaction, Myung Se-chan and Chun Woo-myeong tilted their heads with puzzled expressions.
“They say they were attacked by people from the Salmak Palace.”
“If you say palace, do you mean that palace?”
“yes.”
“Um…”
Myung Se-chan, who had already experienced them with Jinmu, frowned deeply.
“Why did they attack Salmak?”
At Chun Woo-myeong’s question, Jeok-saeng sat down in a chair, buried himself deeply, and brushed his chin in thought.
Seeing that, Myung Sae-chan smiled.
The Lord seems to have chosen one of the musketeers in an amazing way.
Normally timid and seemingly weak enough to not be able to catch a chicken, when he has to think about something and make a decision, he instantly takes on a cool-headed mood.
“Stop going out of the palace.”
“yes.”
Myung Se-chan sent out the archery in a cautious voice, in case it interfered with the troubles of the enemy.
Jeoksaeng, who slowly opened his eyes for a long time, opened his mouth with clear eyes.
“…The people called Goong seem to be thinking of matching Sapaecheon’s nature and our strength.”
“Power…?”
“yes.”
The enemy nodded.
I heard from Myung Se-chan about the existence of a palace that evenly infiltrated the three bands of the central plains and worked secretly.
Some of the powers in the palace have been expelled from the Jeongmu League, and some have tried to bring down the Demonic Cult by causing a fake Guyaja incident.
However, it has never been shown directly within Sapaecheon.
“This is just my opinion.”
“Tell me.”
“Judging from what they have done so far, it seems that the goal of the palace is not to conquer.”
“if?”
“Given Hao Mun’s understanding of the state affairs situation, it is expected that their purpose is to incite trouble.”
“If you are inciting trouble, then does that mean you are aiming for self-destruction?”
“yes. It is to weaken the power of the whole martial arts in the midfield by encouraging riots. When you think so, our rebel forces must be a very difficult opponent for the palace.”
“Um…”
Hearing that, Myung Se-chan nodded.
“Sir.”
However, Chun Woo-myeong, who had been listening silently, looked at Jeok-saeng with a serious expression.
“yes?”
“A rebel faction? What nonsense is that?”
“…yes?”
“We are Jin.”
“…”
“Yuwolcheong is not Jin. Sapaecheon is the place where the Lord of Heaven resides. So we are Jin. Please refrain from using such expressions as rebel forces.”
“…Ah yes. sorry.”
It was only after Jeoksaeng apologized with a shy face that Cheon Woo-myeong’s expression relaxed, and Myung Se-chan shook his head as he saw it.
“Don’t worry about the cloth and continue. So, what do you think, Commander-in-Chief?”
“…yes. Anyway, since they also have eyes and ears, you will know that three of the Sapaeo kings are gathered in the half… no, our true Sapaecheon’s power.”
“Isn’t that why Salmakju shouldn’t join?”
“yes. When Salmakju joins, all the kings of Sapaeo will gather except for Yu Yuecheong. Yu Yue-cheong has already lost confidence, so it’s only a matter of time before Safa’s public opinion turns to us. This upsets the balance of power, making it difficult for them to incite riots the way they want.”
“Um… I see. If they have the present Sapaecheon in their hands, the efforts made so far will be in vain.”
“It is. But that wouldn’t be the case.”
“…yes? what is that?”
“It should be seen that Sapaecheon is already in their hands.”
“…?”
“Until now, we’ve been pretty stealthy. Furthermore, from the time Hao Mun joined, they have been deceiving their eyes and ears.”
right. From the moment Hao Mun joined under the command of Jinmu, Myung Se-chan was playing a role as the rebel’s intelligence organization.
They were manipulating information on a large scale in order to deceive not only the true nature of Sapaecheon, but also the public interest in opening the government.
Thanks to that, the power of Sapaecheon that Cheonwoongbang secured was three percent of the whole.
At first glance, it’s smooth, but on the other hand, it’s suspicious.
No matter how much Haomen blocks the information flowing into the original, there is no response from the original even though three percent of the power has been taken away?
“The problem is that it is too quiet. Even though the Lord of Heaven destroyed all the dwellings of the metallurgists and bandits in the northern part of Shaanxi and passed by.”
This is a fact that Myung Se-chan also finds strange.
There was no way it was secretly moved. All of Haomen’s organizations are already looking at the nature of Sipaecheon and the forces that have not yet been secured.
“Then are you saying that you are clouding Liu Yueqing’s judgment by occupying important positions in the palace?”
“yes. I think so.”
“Um…”
“Perhaps their goal is to have both sides.”
“…”
“And something like this flew in.”
Jeoksaeng opened another copy of the seal brought by Daegung.
“The Shanxi Chamber of Commerce has requested an interview.”
“What if it’s the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce?”
“yes. This is where a huge amount of money is being invested in Sapaecheon now. The amount is beyond imagination.”
“…do you think there is a connection?”
“It is still speculation. Nothing is certain yet. However, isn’t there a history of using the battlefield in the palace on the side of the Jeongmu-maeng side? If so, it wouldn’t be strange to have an upper class.”
“…?”
“Also, Sapaecheon has been struggling with a lack of funds. No matter how much money the metallurgy, bandit, number, and black quarters donate, it will not be enough to fill the budget of the already punctured nature. But isn’t it hard to believe that only one company is responsible for the rest?”
“The source of the funds is questionable?”
“yes. Moreover, if you want to meet us, who have the nature and pretense of Sapaecheon in this situation, you will not be able to raise your doubts.”
Myung Sae-chan’s face frowned at Jeok-saeng’s words.
Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.
Oddly enough, Haowen’s information power doesn’t reach him. I’ve already sent spies several times, but they haven’t even contacted me to see if they’re dead or alive.
“Shanseo Store is where I used to be educated, isn’t it?”
“…?”
“…!”
Cheon Woo-myeong, who was sitting far away, murmured.
Doesn’t a clue come from an unexpected place?
“The bastards were trying to make a deal and act like a fool, so I took the Iron Swords kids and cut their throats.”
“bump! Do you know about them?”
When Jeoksaeng asks with a look of anticipation, Cheon Woo-myeong answers with a puzzled expression.
“You know, Shanxi Chamber of Commerce. Shanxi regional top association. There are guys from the guild escorts, but their skills are mediocre.”
“and!”
“Again? What’s strange about it?”
Cheon Woo-myeong blinked as Jeok-saeng and Myung Se-chan shouted at the same time.
“what? Need to know more?”
“….”
“….”
Jeok-saeng almost spit out, ‘This is useless!’ Of course, if that happened, there wouldn’t be any hair left.
When I turned my head and looked at Myung Se-chan, he seemed to have the same thoughts.
In the end, Jeoksaeng and Myung Se-chan, who excluded Chun Woo-myeong, continued their discussion seriously while looking at each other’s faces.
“It is a good opportunity. If they have requested an interview, shouldn’t it be time to go inside and check it out?”
“you’re right. However, if the palace and the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce are involved, this is no small matter, so report to the Lord first. For now, I’ll make a call to meet there.”
“yes.”
At Myung Sae-chan’s words, Jeok-saeng nodded.
“But in a way, it worked out. You’d better blow it up.”
“Are you going to explode?”
“yes. If what they are concerned about is that our power is growing, we will spread rumors and watch the trend so that they believe it at all.”
“Hmm, good idea. If the King of Sapaeo is now gathered in one place, they have no choice but to show some kind of movement.”
“yes.”
“Then I guess I’ll spread some rumors.”
Myung Se-chan smiled brightly.
“Now the real battle will begin. The original ark, which went south, passed Guangxi, Guizhou, northern Sichuan, and started its northward journey.
“All right.”
“As soon as Shaanxi stabilizes, we head south through Shanxi. You have to be careful as you enter the enemy camp. Even if Moon-lord is having a hard time…”
“Don’t worry. enemy musketeer. I will work hard day and night.”
“thank you.”
“Hahaha, I have to give thanks.”
Jeoksaeng and Myung Se-chan looked at each other and smiled broadly.
Four of the Kings of Sapaeo reunited around Heaven, who returned with a new body.
The grand dream of standing tall at the top of Sama Jeong was just beginning.
“…Me?”
“….”
“..”
There is a momentary silence at the question of Cheon Woo-myeong, who smiles along and shows enthusiasm.
“What can I do?”
“Danju-nim… you have to fight.”
“Keep at the forefront…. Keep working hard and doing your best.”
Eshimjeonsim (以心傳心).
Jeoksaeng and Myung Se-chan shook their heads and answered alternately.
