I put an empty cup in front of Jinin Wonyang, a long-time leader of the Cheongseong faction, and Won-Ik Hwang, the foreign minister of Cheonryongmun, and poured hot tea.
It was the end of October, so it was cool even in the middle of the day, so it was good weather for drinking tea.
“When I was young, I drank tea without knowing the taste, but now I think I know a little bit.”
Wonyang Jin-in and Hwang Won-ik laughed silently.
This is because Jinin Wonyang has passed his 60th birthday and Wonik Hwang is also in his early 50s.
But in Gangho, age is just a number.
It wasn’t only in Sapa that people with strong martial arts were treated with respect.
The three of them had different interests and did not have much conversation.
I wonder if it’s been around 20 minutes (about 20 minutes)?
Hwang Won-ik drank the lukewarm tea at once and got lucky.
“Let’s be honest, Yeon Jang-joo. why did you hold me? If you were to arrive at Tangga at the time you said, you should have left yesterday. Even Jang Moon-in would agree to this. By the way, Yan Zhuangzhu is leisurely drinking tea at the detached palace of Shangqing Palace. Doesn’t that mean you don’t intend to go to the party today?”
“Are you going?”
“Are you saying you’re going to travel three hundred li by tonight?”
“yes.”
“Huh! really!”
The astonished Hwang Won-ik openly expressed his dissatisfaction.
No matter how you look at it, that was not the attitude of a person who would go to the party by tonight.
‘Are you going to hold me hostage and at least negotiate with Cheonryongmun?’
If he was from the green forest, he could do such a thing and have more than enough.
Thinking that far made my stomach boil with displeasure.
“Again, I cannot cover the distance of 300 li in half a day because I am not good at studying religion. If Yeon Jang-ju has any other intentions, please tell me clearly. What do you want?”
“Are you a guide?”
“Is that really all?”
“If not, why would I hold you there?”
Hwang Won-ik’s heart sank at the word ‘caught’.
I did it in case, but it’s still the same.
Guidance was just an excuse, and what he wanted seemed to be negotiations with Cheonryongmun.
“If you are thinking of negotiating with the Celestial Dragon Gate with me as a hostage, don’t even dream about it. Because Cheonryongmun won’t withdraw its decision just because of one person.”
Yeonjeokha looked at him with absurd eyes.
Judging from the hostage negotiations, it seems that there was a strong misunderstanding.
“It looks like you’ve fallen deeply into your own world over there, but come back to reality. I really needed someone to guide me, so I held that one.”
“Then you’re going to make excuses for being late because of me.”
“It’s still midday, but what’s late?”
“Now it’s past lunchtime. Even if we leave now, we will arrive tomorrow, but the kite owner doesn’t even think about moving, does it?”
“I have to eat and go. You will have to eat it even if you go down the mountain anyway.”
“her! Would you like to eat and leave? why? Why don’t you have a cup of tea after dinner?”
“is it so. Let’s have a cup of tea after dinner and let’s go soon.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha answered the question, Hwang Won-ik shook his head excitedly.
“Okay. Do as you please. It’s my fault for entering the tiger’s den anyway, so who can I blame?”
Hwang Won-ik looked at Jin-in Wonyang with eyes of resentment.
When I thought that I had asked him to meet Yeon Jeok-ha for this purpose, I was furious.
In the meantime, I thought that the relationship between Cheonryongmun and the Cheongseong faction was good, but it seems that it was not.
Wonyang Jin-in hurriedly said.
“What do you mean tiger den? We, the Qingsheng faction, do not regard Cheonryongmun as an enemy.”
“Why does someone like that bring me to this place and humiliate me? Since you have seen the master of the arts, you should know why the master of the kite keeps me captive, right?”
“Bindo believes Yeonjangju’s words.”
“Are you saying that you can cover the distance of 300 li in half a day? No, since they say they have a cup of tea after lunch, it won’t take half a day. Take me and do you think that is possible? I’m sure even you know the level of my martial arts skills, right?”
“There is something wrong with the kite master, so I’ll bet. isn’t it? Kite master?”
Wonyang Jin-in, who witnessed Yeon Jeok-ha’s divine status, believed that there would be a way for him.
“of course. Are you negotiating what is so great about Tianlongmen? If I farted, it would collapse.”
Dry weight is a necessity anyway, so anyone should listen to it, but rugs are different.
The thick rugs used in the conduit were burdensome to anyone.
Hwang Won-ik, who saw the rug, looked at Yeon Jeok-ha’s face.
I thought he would tell me to take it back, but he didn’t.
Rather, he even nodded his head with a satisfied face as if he liked it.
For a moment, Hwang Won-ik felt an ominous feeling.
‘You’re not going to ask me to do that, are you? If you pass your burdens on to someone else, you’re not even a human being. cancer.’
But where was Noklimdo?
Even if you ask, that rug was definitely a burden he had to carry.
His frowning eyes met by chance.
Hwang Won-ik shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh.
that’s when
Yeonjeokha, who got up from his seat, ambled towards Geonryang and the rug.
As soon as he lifted the dry package and hung it in the air, the package disappeared.
‘omg! what? Am I wrong?’
Hwang Won-ik hurriedly rubbed his eyes with both hands.
However, the dry weight package was nowhere to be seen.
In succession, he lifted the rolled up rug with both hands.
Soon after, the rug also disappeared.
Hwang Won-ik looked at Jin-in Wonyang with surprised eyes.
“Have you seen the long text now? Dry packs and rugs are gone!”
“I saw it too. Truly, ghosts are supposed to sing songs.”
After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha wiped his hands and returned to his place, and Wonyang Jin-in asked.
“What did Kite Jangju do with the dry weight package and the rug?”
“Ah, I put it in a warehouse in a space called ‘Mahadam’. How is it that you recently learned how to drink? Is it worth it?”
“Do you have such a technique?”
Wonyang Jin-in could not close his gaping mouth.
In general, the method of sorcery is close to deceiving the eye.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish the false from the famous technique, but the root is not going anywhere.
Although the Qingsheng faction is a Taoist sect, that is why they prioritize martial arts over magic.
“It’s not Kang-ho’s method. I also learned from afar.”
“I see. I also studied the magic method, but I am seeing the magic method written by Yeon Jangju for the first time.”
Hwang Won-ik, who was far from the technique, glanced around Yeonjeok-ha with half-doubtful eyes.
He thought that he had hidden the luggage with his quick hands.
Luggage hidden by Yeon Jeok-ha will be found somewhere in the villa and found after a few days.
Thinking so, Hwang Won-ik could not stand it and said a word.
“I thought the kite master asked me to prepare dry weight and rugs for use, but I don’t think so?”
In Hwang Won-ik’s eyes, Wonyang Jin-in looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with curious eyes.
He also wondered if Yeonjeokha had asked for a dry weight and a rug to show him how to use it, or if he wanted to use it on a trip.
However, the rivalry only laughed round and round, but did not respond.
Then the bell rang twice.
Wonyang Jin-in said involuntarily.
“It’s already new hour (3:00 p.m.).”
Then Yeonjeokha drank the cold tea water and stood up.
“It is time to move slowly. Follow old brother.”
After speaking, he went down to the front yard of the palace without looking back.
Hwang Won-ik reluctantly followed him.
The moment he stood beside Yeonjeokha, a cloud suddenly rose under his feet.
“The kite master? What’s going on? uh? uh?”
When Hwang Won-ik’s body suddenly rose, a shrieking sound erupted from Hwang Won-ik’s mouth.
Soon after, he grabbed Yeonjeokha’s arm as Shangqing Palace looked as big as the palm of his hand.
“Please save me!”
