Chapter 198

Episode 198. Whale’s Back Explodes in Shrimp Fight

Right before going out, Jegal Seung-woon, the musketeer and Shinki-su, had a separate meeting with the masters.

“I would like to express my gratitude once again to the many deceased people who willingly took over the position of Daeju for the sake of justice in Moorim. I asked to see you before departure because I have something important to tell you.”

At the words of Jegal Seung-un, Jang Moo-deok, the free apprentice of Daeju Cheonchudae, opened his mouth.

“Looking at the fact that only Daeju was gathered before departure, it must be a pretty important story.”

“That’s right. This war against the famous religion would have been impossible without the emperor’s permission.”

“You mean that the imperial family has cut ties with the famous religion?”

“You can see that. In the early days, it is said that several members of the imperial family were recruited in the bribes of celebrities. However, it seems that they felt a crisis when the power of famous religions grew excessively.”

“Are you going to kill the car after all? Tsk! This is why you shouldn’t trust the imperial family.”

Jang Mu-deok shook his head excitedly.

Jegal Seungwoon smiled faintly and continued.

“Of course, I don’t believe in the imperial family either. You don’t know when you’ll get dumped. Still, the reason we were able to hold such a large-scale rally in Nanjing was because the Emperor allowed it. However, there are some restrictions on this event of the Justice League.”

“Are you restricted? What do you mean?”

Uicheon Geomjon Lee Ui-jeong, the great lord of Cheokmadae, looked at Jegal Seung-woon with a curious look.

This is because it has never been said before.

Jegal Seungwoon replied with a bitter smile.

“Actually, the leader of the Golden Guard came to visit last night.”

“shape? You mean the military commander who is said to be the emperor’s closest aide?”

Jang Moo-deok pretended to know.

Since Wujimen was in Nanjing, he could often hear the news of central officials.

The story about the shape of the commander of the Golden Guard was one of them.

The Geumuiwi is the emperor’s personal military organization, which conducts inspections, arrests, and interrogations. Due to its mighty power, there was no one who did not know the golden throne after the Murim gates of Nanjing were broken.

“That’s right. He came secretly last night and left with two requests. The first was that the emperor was worried and told me to leave Nanjing quickly.”

The four lords nodded.

It is cause for concern as more than 1,500 armed warriors gathered in Nanjing.

“And secondly, I told the people not to move together because it might surprise them. The second problem is to invite the great lords.”

Namgung Byeok, the sword king of Uigidae Daeju, said with a frown.

“Doesn’t it mean that the four units must act separately?”

Even so, it was an embarrassing situation for a small group of people.

“That’s right. Actually, he’s not wrong. If 1,500 or so warriors gather together, they’d think there was a rebellion. So I think the four units will have to move on different routes.”

“...”

Namgung Byeok didn’t have anything to refute, so he just sighed.

The country’s supreme power, the emperor, had no choice but to follow.

Uijeong Lee, who had been watching quietly, comforted Namgung Byeok.

“Don’t worry too much about the sword king. I don’t think there will be any big problems until Henan anyway.”

“Yes, I also heard that there is a famous school in Jeongju.”

As Namgung Byeok was the youngest among the top 10 masters in the world, he answered politely.

Originally, the distribution of Namgung Byeok corresponds to the long gate of Chilpai Gate.

But the others were all hermits who had withdrawn from the frontlines.

When everyone was satisfied, Jegal Seung-woon stepped forward.

“So yesterday, I made four routes with the commander of the Golden Guard in a hurry. The first is the path of the chuck horse. Go north, pass Hongze Lake, pass Xuzhou Xianggu Kaifeng, and enter Zhengzhou.”

“Okay.”

Ichigo nodded his head.

Jegal Seung-un saw the Merchant Mugeuk, the great master of the death squad.

“The second is the path of extinction. It was oriented northwest. Pass through the cursed and embalmed Bakju and enter Jeongju.”

“So it is.”

The Mugeuk Merchant nodded as if he understood.

Jegal Seung-woon’s gaze turned to Jang Moo-deok this time.

“Thirdly, Cheonchudae is to the northwest like Myolsadae, but the course has changed slightly. It’s the same up to the curse, but after that, go through Huinan Buyang Jugu and enter Jeongju.”

“I will.”

The gazes of the lords turned to Namgung Byeok.

On the first day, those who cried, blew, and clung to each other with pale faces were somehow strange.

Simtong approached the edge of the rock, stretched his neck, and looked down.

“What a fuck!”

Curses came out of my mouth spontaneously.

Two swindlers were floating in the whirlpool with their hands on the rope.

Thinking that Nokdampyeong meant to stop lifting, he diligently turned his wrist.

Then, heartache kicked Nokdampyeong.

“You idiot! Who told you to pull it up!”

Nokdampyeong untied the rope again and slowly looked at his heartache.

“Confucius, I see now that swindlers are hanging out on ropes.”

Yeonjeokha, who checked down from the edge of the rock, frowned.

“Wow! those scammers. Did those guys come up and pretend to be dead? Yah. scary. Old Sim takes care of it.”

I left the troublesome task of dating and went back to the simple chair.

“It should melt. From now on, don’t pull up the rope until the old lady tells you.”

“yes.”

Simtong squatted on the edge of a rock and looked down.

Maybe half an hour (an hour) has passed?

The imposters’ heads submerged below the surface and then came up.

It’s not just scammers that are having a hard time.

Nok Dam-pyeong, who was holding the rope with both hands during the half-time, was already sweaty all over.

After a while, the heads of the swindlers who went down to the surface did not come up.

Only then did the heartache rise from the seat.

“Pull it up.”

“yes? yes.”

Nokdampyeong started winding the rope around his wrist.

However, it was not an easy task for Nok Dam-pyeong, who had already worked hard for more than half an hour.

He gritted his teeth, but after a while his strength went down.

thump.

The rope that had been wrapped around it came loose.

Nokdampyeong pulled the rope again with trembling hands.

However, once lost power cannot be recharged.

He tried to wrap the rope around his arm, but the rope got heavier and heavier.

Now it’s a difficult situation to hold the line.

The heartache that had been watching him whimpering as he held on to the rope approached the edge of the rock.

Heartache, who had been looking down with his head all the way out, spoke in a calm tone.

“It should melt. You can stop now.”

“Let go?”

“Do you have the strength to pull?”

“Oh no.”

“Then let me go to the underworld. kid.”

“ah!”

Only then did Nok Dam-pyeong realize that the two swindlers were already dead.

Come to think of it, it was already past the time to drown.

He loosened his hands.

In the blink of an eye, the two ropes were sucked down the rock.

“...”

Nokdampyeong stared blankly at the Yellow River.

The weight of the life he had let go of with his own hands pressed down on his chest.

During the three days spent with the two swindlers, did he feel any hatred?

A cool yet empty feeling rushed in.

A heartache kicked him hard in the buttocks, who had been immersed in the futility of life for a moment.

“You bastard! Get out of the way! Where are you getting the money? You, too, are alive because you have a tender heart. If you were like me, you would have killed twelve more times.”
