Episode 65
The martial arts leaders, led by Namgung Xiaohye and Zhuge Yun, were moving around. Their expressions were very urgent as they rode so fast that they raised a cloud of dust.
The direction they were heading to was nowhere, and as they ran like crazy without stopping, the long distance narrowed in an instant.
“This... this...!”
Zhuge Yun stopped at a certain place and trembled. There were countless arrows scattered around the small canyon leading into Anhyang.
There were also many corpses.
I slowly approached him and took off his mask, but I couldn’t recognize his hideously distorted face at all. Looking at the wounds on his face, it looked like he had been injured after death.
For someone to hide their identity.
“Find the lord! right now!”
Zhuge Yun chewed his lips tightly.
A situation where it appears that the leader, Namgungcheon, has been attacked.
He had no idea what would have happened to the Emperor of the World, but in a corner of his mind, he felt extremely anxious and was constricting his heart.
‘whoever?’
The sword marks around him didn’t help at all. Most of them are from Geomhwang, and their traces have been erased so clearly that they cannot be revealed at all.
‘The smell of gunpowder...’
There was also a strong smell of gunpowder near the canyon. The collapsed and caved-in ground was a sight that could not be helped by human power, so it seemed clear that high-impact bullets had been used.
“Commissioner! This is...”
“I know. So don’t say anything.”
Namgung So-hye also seemed to notice the traces of the bomb. However, it did not occur to me at all that the Emperor, the sword of the world, would have been hit by a bullet.
But how on earth did they get the rocket?
It is a world where it is difficult to even obtain gunpowder unless you are from the imperial family. It was an item that would be branded treasonous and decapitated just by possessing it.
That’s why the two people turned on their eyes even more and searched the surroundings. He is trying his best to somehow find traces of Namgungcheon.
At that time, something caught Zhuge Un’s attention.
I could see pure white powder scattered between small rocks. Because it was not a large amount, it would have been impossible to even confirm it without looking closely.
The moment he slowly approached and smelled it, Zhuge Yun tilted his head back and blocked his nose.
“San Gong poison?!”
“Stand... no way!”
Namgung So-hye’s face turned blue at the word ‘Sangongdog’. Because there was no way the Murim people didn’t know that.
A poison that can only be said to be particularly fatal to the martial arts people.
It was such a rare poison that it was said that obtaining it was more difficult than obtaining wall bombs.
But what if this is really acid poison?
“Grandpa!”
With a pale and tired complexion, Namgung So-hye ran like crazy and looked for Namgung Cheon.
Dan So-mi was staring intently at the two moving people. I’ve been watching him for over an hour now without moving, but his eyes didn’t waver at all, as if he wasn’t tired.
Wiggle, wiggle.
I was fidgeting with my fingers.
Finally, the moment when Dansomi couldn’t stand it any longer and stood up.
“Sit down!”
“sit down!”
The sharp sounds of two men were heard.
In particular, Jang Sam-tae’s sharp voice was quite a shock to Dan So-mi.
I gently placed my butt on the ground and
let out a small moan.
“why! Even Somi can do it!”
“I know I can do it! But shouldn’t you break it and eat it?”
“Somi... I never broke it...
“Look at that!”
Dansomi looked away awkwardly.
Jang Sam-tae looked at the scene and turned his back. Since I couldn’t rest properly while building the boat, I felt like I needed to lie down a little while Dan Woo-hyeon was away.
rowing and moving forward
There seemed to be no place this small boat could not go as it glided across the lake.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was rowing while standing upright, felt the wind and smiled brightly as if he was in a good mood.
Although I’ve been living a leisurely life since breaking the ice and meeting Dansomi, today felt different than ever.
He turned his head and looked around.
The horizon of Dongdong Lake seems to continue endlessly.
The manor is now so far away that you can only see it if you concentrate.
Fish jumping between boats floating here and there.
The gently blowing wind awakens his mind and heart. If this is not Mureungdowon, then where else can it be called Mureungdowon?
Dan Woo-hyeon sat down on the boat and searched his arms.
Then he took out a bottle of alcohol that he had prepared in advance.
I leaned back on one side of the boat and took a sip of a strong drink.
“Good.”
Isn’t this what a person’s life should be like?
In the past, I only saw blood.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing to hold a sword as a warrior, but if all you see is blood in the way, there’s a problem.
‘It was when I was fussy without knowing how high the sky was...’
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was thinking about his past self, smiled and turned his head.
When I think about that time, embarrassing memories come to mind one by one.
He gave up his thoughts, quenched his thirst with another drink, and turned his head
.
Something was seen approaching along the waterway of Dongdong Lake. Even if seen from a distance, the thing approaching on a weak wind was a person.
Fortunately, his face was facing upwards, but he was not moving at all, and considering that one of his arms was cut off, it was highly likely that he was dead.
Dan Woohyun frowned.
Who on earth is ruining such a beautiful scenery?
The body, pushed by the waves, collided with Dan Woo-hyeon’s boat.
“That’s right...”
And then I saw the person’s face.
There were sword marks and burn marks all over the somewhat devastated body, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t recognize a familiar face.
“Namgungcheon....”
Sword Emperor Namgungcheon met Danwoohyeon again.
Dan Woo-hyeon stretched out his hand and brought it to his nose.
Although it was faint, I felt that I was breathing. Doesn’t the fact that he didn’t die in this situation mean that he was lucky?
“I said we would meet again if I didn’t die, but we met like this.”
Dan Woohyun smiled.
As he slowly stretched out his hand and moved his air force, Namgungcheon’s body floated into the air and landed on the boat.
Moving small objects using objects in the air was an art that any expert who reached a certain level could perform, but lifting a person was impossible even for a swordsman.
“You were poisoned... Is it mountain poison?”
Dan Woo-hyeon checked his pulse and immediately recognized the poison in his body.
The only poison that has the property of quickly disrupting Woohyun’s air power, which flows into him the moment he feels his pulse, is Sangong poison.
He was a pretty toxic guy.
“Hmm...”
Dan Woo-hyeon groaned for a moment and rowed.
First of all, entering the manor
was an urgent matter.
If Namgung-cheon did not die in the meantime, it would mean that he was also Cheon-un and that his life line was not yet cut off.
