Chapter 172

Episode 172: I don’t have time, so I’ll get on your back.

“Where on earth are you coming from?”

Josin greeted the sword dance with an angry face. It was only after waiting for a long time at the guesthouse that I encountered the sword dance performance.

“I’m on my way back to get some fresh air.”

The courtiers would not be able to imagine it. That sword dance is the way to meet one’s father, meet the Murim lord, and return.

And that he was the prey of the sword dance. He came to his feet and stuck his head into the tiger’s jaw.

“You seem to be free from the beginning.”

He took out a dagger from his chest. It was a dagger with words written on it congratulating Jin Ha-ryeong on his win, which he failed to give to Jin Ha-ryeong.

“Shall I stab your master to death with this? “I think this would be a perfect ending to this.”

“The best outcome of this matter would be for Confucius to marry Xiaoje Chen and for me to gain 100,000 nyang.”

“Then you have to get your money’s worth.”

“You have to have the money you received to make it worth the money.”

“How much do you think it would be in terms of money not to stab your neck with this dagger?”

Josin was worried that the marriage would not take place like this and was anxious. Moreover, she even shouted at Cheol-gon, who personally came and pressured her into marriage, so she had to proceed somehow. This was the reason why he, who had never waited for anyone in his life, waited for Sijin, who performed a sword dance in his guesthouse.

Geommugeuk said, looking down at the dagger placed on the table.

“It’s time for a shot.”

“One room? What kind of room?”

“As the granddaughter of the Murim Lord, how many noble families have you seen? “Everyone will brag about their family, money, and military achievements, but when she sees it, how pathetic and boring must she be?”

Not long ago, the courtier also boasted about his money and family, so I had nothing to say.

“We need to show something different from the self-restraint of a prestigious family.”

“So what is that?”

“Whether you’re a pretty woman, an ugly woman, a good woman, a bad woman, a young woman, or an old woman, there is one room that everyone can fall into. “This is it.”

Geommugeuk raised his dagger and tried to stab the courtier. Then Josin quickly grabbed Geommugeuk’s wrist.

“You’re going to kill me? do you want to die?”

“This is it.”

“what?”

“It’s about saving her from danger. The man who saved his life. “What more do you need?”

“!”

Josin’s eyes widened. I thought this was it. Why didn’t I think of this? It was to the point where I felt belatedly blaming myself.

“It is an old-fashioned method that has been around for hundreds of years, but it is also the best method that always works. Is there anything in the world as powerful as the debt of one’s life? Instead, you will need to plan well. “Jin Sozer is a quick-witted person.”

I already felt the sword dance. The court is already halfway through.

“Oh and something really important! You should leave it to someone you trust. “If you make a mistake and the loser gets hurt or dies, the tribute’s life will also be lost.”

The sword dance was expected. If Josin is related to Cheonmyeonghoe, he will ask for help from there. You can’t entrust such an important task to just anyone.

“You should never use someone from the Confucius family. If it is revealed later, it will be a huge problem. Are there any people who are completely unrelated to you? You must be an expert enough to overpower Jin Sozer. And he must be a trustworthy person.”

The moment Jo Shin heard those words, one person came to mind.

Cheolgon.

That scary person was definitely suited for this job. Of course, I didn’t know if he would accept it, but there was hope. His mission was to get himself and Jin Ha-ryeong married as soon as possible. Because he was anxious enough to come and put pressure on me.

Geommugeuk noticed that Josin was thinking of someone.

‘also! There’s someone around.’

Geommugeuk said, pretending not to know anything.

“Don’t involve me in that dangerous task! “I did everything I had to do.”

Of course, the intention was to please include me. What people want to do when they are told not to do it is human psychology, and now Jo Shin had a reason to include sword dance.

“You must help me until the end.”

“I just hate risky jobs.”

The courtier imagined. When servant Lee and Jin Ha-ryeong are in danger, he appears and saves them. It shows the contrast with this incompetent guy. Yes, there is nothing to think about complicatedly. This is the end.

“And you have to bring Jin Sozer out. “If I take him with me and a villain appears, anyone will see that I manipulated it, right?”

“great. Let me help you. Because I need to get paid too. If you’re going to do it, you need to hurry. “If this happens after Jin Xiaoje officially joins the organization, the Murim Alliance will begin an official investigation.”

Even if it wasn’t for this reason, the courtier’s mind was busy.

“Please wait and do not leave the room until I contact you.”

“All right.”

The courtier left in a hurry. Sword Dancer quietly followed behind him.

* * *

Josin and Cheolgon met in a shabby warehouse near the Murimmaeng.

“I would have told you not to contact me unless it was something important related to life or death.”

“It’s that important. “I need you to help me just this once.”

“What’s going on?”

“If you help me, I can marry Jin Ha-ryeong.”

At that time, Cheolgon looked like he was saying something out of the blue.

“Please try to kidnap her. “Then I will appear and save you.”

“To my hometown.”

She felt sorry. I liked to be alone, so I only had a few friends, but none of them were that close to me. The words “don’t go” rose up in my throat.

But it’s not like I can take responsibility for his life. If I join the Murim Alliance, I won’t be able to see you often because I’ll be busy.

“You will become the Murim lord later.”

“what?”

That was when she opened her eyes in surprise.

Someone ambushed her from behind. She was so preoccupied with the sword dance that she did not notice the opponent approaching.

The moment I turned around in surprise.

Crack!

Cheolgon, wearing a mask, instantly overpowered her demonic blood. Because there was a difference in skill and it was a surprise attack, she was caught without a chance.

Of course, Geommugeuk sensed him approaching from afar. I was prepared for even the most unexpected situations. Because other variables could have occurred.

Cheol-gon, who had subdued her, turned his attention to the sword dance.

At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong shouted.

“Not that person! “Don’t kill me!”

Jin Ha-ryeong thought that the masked man would kill Geommugeuk. Obviously, if that was his goal, there was no way he would have saved the attendant who was with him.

“no! please! “Send me away!”

Despite her pitiful cries, Cheol-gon walked up to her and tried to cut off Geommu-geuk’s arm with one sword.

Right at that moment!

Cheolgon’s sword stopped in midair. A huge presence felt from behind. Before he knew it, all the hair on his body stood on end, and his survival instinct was screaming at him to run away. If it were any other time, I would have run away without looking back.

But my body didn’t move. He was drowning in the sea and struggling. It was in the middle of a vast ocean with no ships or islands around to save it.

Cheolgon desperately increased his strength and turned around.

A huge tsunami of unknown height was surging in front of me. The Murim lord Jin Paecheon was standing right behind him.

“...shit!”

I desperately tried to turn and run away again, but I was quickly overpowered by the demonic blood before I could take a single step. No matter how much of an expert Cheolgon was, in front of Jin Pae-cheon, he was just a second-class critic.

Cheol-gon could not understand this situation.

‘Why did the Murim Lord appear here?’

Originally, after cutting off this bastard’s hands and feet, a courtier was supposed to appear and save her. But why?

If things are going wrong, the courtier should show up now. And he has to cover up the situation by smiling and saying that he played this prank to impress Jin Ha-ryeong. You have to say, “This person is my subordinate.”

But the courtier did not even appear.

At that moment, a thought came to mind that sent shivers down my spine.

‘trap?’

Could it be that he sold himself to the Murim Alliance? Otherwise, there’s no way he wouldn’t show up, right?

Meanwhile, Geommugeuk noticed Josin hiding in the forest far away.

‘Don’t come out!’

The division between Cheolgon and Josin was what Geommugeuk hoped for.

Josin was hiding in the forest and watching the situation. He was greatly embarrassed by the appearance of the leader.

‘ruined.’

What are you going to say to the leader when you go out? You were trying to save me by faking a kidnapping? At that moment, the marriage will be lost forever. Besides, who will explain who Cheol-gon is?

But it couldn’t stay like this. Because I couldn’t let Cheolgon get captured like that.

I tried to leave, but I couldn’t move. He thought it was because he was afraid of the leader, but in fact, the energy released by the sword dance was secretly pushing him. Confused and scared, he didn’t notice it at all.

‘shit!’

In the end, Josin decided to withdraw from this place and take care of the situation. When I stepped back and turned around, my body moved as it pleased. He left there without looking back.

Jin Peicheon released his granddaughter’s demonic blood.

“grandfather! “How did grandpa come here?”

“I’ll explain everything later.”

Now it was important to proceed as planned.

Jin Feicheon and Geommugeuk looked at each other and nodded once.

Jin Feicheon soared into the air with the iron gun that had been suppressed by demon blood held at his side and disappeared from there in an instant. It was truly an incredible light technique that left one in awe.

Jin Ha-ryeong asked Geommugeuk.

“What is all this about?”

She felt that something was happening that she did not know about.

“Let’s go back too. There is no time for this here. “Are you able to tolerate dizziness well when you wake up?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Are you holding it in well?”

“I have never felt dizzy during a light flight.”

“If you feel dizzy, close your eyes. “You can’t throw up on your back.”

Geommugeuk turned his back and lowered himself.

“Get on your back. “I don’t have time. Come on.”

Since the situation was unusual, she was placed on Geommugeuk’s back. You’re running with me on your back? why? I wasn’t even hurt? She was like, let’s see what happens.

“I was worried that you might get dizzy while carrying me while running!”
