Chapter 558

< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 58 >

It’s crazy persistent.

Jin Tae-gong seemed to understand why Sacheondangga was said to be strong. Even though four days had already passed, their pursuit continued.

If you run over and over again on a rough mountain path and feel like you’ve fallen, it will show up again without fail. The chase and chase, as if toying with people, never ends.

“Haa haa... haa...!”

Jin Tae-gong took a deep breath.

For several days, I couldn’t even drink water, let alone eat. As the situation continues, I don’t even have the strength to stand now.

The voice heard in such a situation got on my nerves for no reason.

“Is it... still far?”

“Haa... haa go... I’ll be able to beat you soon.”

“I think I’ve already heard that a hundred times.”

A small sigh was heard.

I feel like I’ve disappointed her, but this can’t be helped.

Who knew that the Sichuan Tang family’s chasing skills would be so outstanding?

Also, who would have known that the tenacity of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty would be this much?

Jin Tae-gong didn’t feel like this situation was good either.

It’s even difficult for you.

Do you know how easy it is to carry someone on your back through these rugged mountains? I couldn’t even hear the complaints of someone who was just riding on my back without doing anything.

“I will always trust you.”

“ha ha ha. Thank you.”

Jin Tae-gong wrinkled his expression and struggled to answer.

It’s hard to believe.

No matter how much I think about it, something is strange.

Even if it were a master-slave relationship, in this situation, he would have come up with a solution on his own, but this young woman just left everything to him without even thinking about it.

Wasn’t she a priestess who had to overcome difficult situations by showing greater abilities than anyone else?

Many believers looked at the priestess and praised her as a being beyond human beings, and Jin Tae-gong thought the same, but no matter how much he thought about it, he had doubts that he had been deceived.

But Jin Tae-gong shook his head.

You must not doubt the priestess.

Wasn’t she a woman who escaped from the world of heaven and descended into the human world?

Denying this woman was like denying her entire life, which she had believed in and followed Cheonjigyo until now.

“There will be a road soon. “If you take a horse or something and run, you can easily escape.”

“I will expect.”

“....”

Jin Tae-gong silently nodded as she spoke with a grin in her voice.

Something is strange.

I don’t know if it was because my mind and body were pushed to the limit, but her words didn’t make much of an impact. Even though it is clear that this is something that would normally make one jump for joy.

Jin Taegong shook his head and put more strength on his feet. For now, it seemed like a good idea to get out of this predicament and think about it.

Eventually, I ran quickly down the rough road with my exhausted body. Little by little, the mountain road, which had been rough enough to predict that there would soon be a path for people to travel, began to become easier.

The moment I run a little further like that.

I could see the road.

There is no doubt that it is a clear path for people to come and go.

Maybe it’s because it’s a little late, but there’s no one coming or going, but as time goes by, people on horses or carriages will definitely appear.

While I was thinking about that and catching my breath.

“Hey!”

From a distance, I saw a large carriage coming towards me. Jin Tae-gong, who was quietly watching this, smiled in remorse.

No matter how much I try, will they still chase me until the end if I run away on horseback?

Jin Tai-gong slowly held the sword in his hand.

In front of it, I saw two figures stretched out like frogs, but when I got closer and looked at them, they seemed to be a man and a woman.

The man’s face was so distorted that it looked as if Dan Woo-hyeon’s hand had burned him, and the woman on his back seemed to have passed out because she could not overcome the shock.

Jang Sam-tae slowly got off the carriage and stood next to Dan Woo-hyeon.

“I don’t think they are bandits... What on earth are these?”

“...Do I even need to know that?”

“No, I’m not saying that because I hit him recklessly...”

Jang Sam-tae closed his mouth for a moment.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who was standing still, was seen slightly clenching his fist. I instinctively felt that saying more useless things would not lead to anything good.

Moreover, didn’t Jang Sam-tae himself do the same?

“Put it in the luggage compartment.”

“No, what... is it luggage?”

Finally, Jang Sam-tae made a dumbfounded expression at the sound he heard. I’m not saying put it in, but put it in? Anyone can see that it is treated like a piece of luggage.

However, under the unspoken pressure not to say any more, he quickly closed his mouth and slowly approached the person lying face down.

At that time, Dan So-mi, who was in the carriage, came over to see what was going on, and when she saw the two people stretched out like frogs, her eyes widened.

“uh...? “Is this woman...?”

“what? “Do you know someone?”

“Ah yes! “It’s a lady who used to read fortunes in Seongdo...”

At that moment, Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.

I looked at the woman’s face, but she didn’t seem that old. Would you say it is similar to or slightly higher than Namgoong Sohye? But what about an ajumma?

So does that mean Namgoong Sohye is also an ajumma?

Without realizing it, I turned my gaze to look at Namgung Sohye.

At that moment, I saw her eyes raise fiercely.

“Why are you sleeping in a place like this?”

“That’s it, Lord Jang....”

“Yes?”

“....”

Jang Sam-tae, who was about to say that it was because he was beaten, fell silent again. It felt like an intangible force was piercing my entire body like a knife.

I can’t say anything.

“You can’t sleep in a place like this. “Right?”

Dan So-mi smiled brightly and approached Geum-ran. I carried it with great difficulty, organizing the funny figure stretched out like a frog.

“....”

Jang Sam-tae couldn’t keep his mouth shut at that sight.

How on earth did those thin arms, legs, and body come about? No matter how much she is a woman, she is a saint, and lifting something so lightly is something an ordinary person would never be able to do.

Jang Sam-tae thought about the past for a moment.

That little child who, because he had taken the elixir by mistake, was beaten to death whenever he touched it.

I shook my head as if my teeth were shaking just thinking about it.

“Then I’ll put it in the luggage compartment!”

“okay.”

“What the heck....”

He glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon at the words he spat out with an innocent expression. Perhaps because they are father and daughter, they get along really well.

Dan Woo-hyeon is not the only one who treats people like burdens.

“What are you doing? “Without moving it.”

“Ah... yes.”

Jang Sam-tae slowly walked towards the fallen person and shook his head. As I was watching Dan So-mi, whose actions were becoming similar to Dan Woo-hyeon, I was picturing a vaguely uneasy future in my mind.

‘I need to teach better.’

I thought that to myself and sighed.

That child must be freed from Dan Woo-hyeon’s clutches.

When you think of Dan So-mi, who looks exactly like Dan Woo-hyeon, you will never be so moved.
