Episode 129. The line that must not be crossed (2)
Un-hwan stopped stepping on Un-hu’s body as he sagged.
“Hehehe... Damn I used my power in the wrong place. hey. what is your name?”
Unhwan looked at the one closest to him among the four guards and asked.
“It’s a lark.”
“Yes, lark. You take responsibility, clean up for two years, and bring me to my wagon. Change your clothes into pretty ones.”
“All right. young master.”
When Unhwan entered the wagon he had been riding in, Jong-dal untied the ropes that were tying the pyeonseon first.
Jump up.
When the rope was untied, Pyeonseon jumped up like a frog and tried to hit Jongdal’s face with his forehead, but Jongdal, as if he had expected it, lightly raised his hand to cover her forehead and grabbed her back with his other hand.
“Tsk In a case like this, it’s not always a good thing that girls have pretty faces. Huya.”
“Your brother.”
“Go to the kitchen and get some clothes for this girl to wear. Oh, and the powder to apply to the face as well.”
“All right.”
When one of the warriors disappeared, Jong-dal carried the pyeonseon in one hand and went to the stream.
Chow ah...
Jong-dal violently tore Pyeon-seon’s clothes.
“Oh, I don’t need to be gagged anymore... I’m usually a bit inconsiderate, so understand.”
When Jong-dal released the gag that was blocking Pyeon-seon’s mouth, Pyeon-seon screamed at his throat and shouted for help.
“Tsk No matter how much you scream, no one will come to help you.”
Chow ah ah...
Jong-dal took a gourd from the carriage and threw it on Pyeon-seon’s body.
car window-!
-What kind of guy are you?
Suddenly, shouts and the clashing of weapons were heard in the distance.
‘That’s where the youngest just went... Damn, did his tail get stepped on?’
“older brother!”
At that time, the two escorts who heard the sound of weapons clashing like Jongdal drew their weapons.
The sound of clashing weapons still continued, but also the sound of horses hooves approaching very quickly.
“It seems that the tail has been stepped on. Get ready.”

As soon as he saw the line with his arms and legs tied by the streamside with his clothes torn like rags, a light flashed in the fireman’s eyes.
“These bastards...”
The fireman squatted with his feet together on the horse’s back like an acrobat, and when he got closer to the other warrior, he jumped up like a frog and drew his sword from top to bottom.
The opposing warrior was holding a sword, not a sword, but when the fireman attacked, he raised the sword with both hands as if supporting it and blocked the sword.
squeak.
Musa naturally thought that swords and swords would collide. But what I heard was the sound of flesh being cut by the sword.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!”
A terrifying scream erupted from the mouth of the samurai who had been making a puzzled expression for a moment.
The right arm holding the sword was severed and fell to the floor.
squeak.
The moment the sword flashed once more, the warrior’s screams stopped.
“Seo Seon-ah!”
“Heheheheheheug uhhh...”
Pyeonseon jumped into the fireman’s arms, buried his face in his chest, and wept bitterly.
The fireman hurriedly cut the ropes that bound her arms and legs with a sword and took off her coat to cover her body.
While the fireman was doing this, Janggoe killed the other two warriors and pursued the fleeing wagon.
The coachman, who had ridden Unhwan, drove the horses away, brandishing a whip like mad, but soon Ok-ju appeared from the opposite side and threw the dagger, which knocked the horses over and overturned the carriage.
While Ok-ju killed the coachman, Jang-goe climbed into the broken carriage and dragged out the unconscious Woon-hwan with blood dripping from his head.
Jang-goe did not kill Un-hwan and brought him to Hwa-bu.
While Unhwan was dragged away by Janggoe, he came to his senses after being slapped several times, but when he saw the fireman, he realized how the situation was going and begged for help.
As Pyeon-seon changed clothes and prepared to leave, Obo and Beon-a blocked her path.
“Where are you going?”
Pyeonseon seemed to be unable to go out if he told the truth, so he covered it moderately.
“The review is too complicated, so I’m going to get some fresh air.”
“It’s too dangerous outside right now, so Master told me not to go out of the courtroom.”
“I’ll only go around the prefectural office.”
“Then come with us.”
“I want to be alone right now... but how can it be?”
When Pyeonseon made a pitiful expression, Obo and Buna thought hard for a while.
They knew what Pyeon-seon could have been through, so it was understandable for her to want to be alone.
“Aww, I know. You must never go outside the prefectural office.”
“Do not worry.”
When Pyeon-seon went out of the office, Oh-bo and Bun-a watched her disappear, then turned their heads and looked at the carriage with the body.
“ouch.”
“Your death penalty.”
“Anyway, Samae... aren’t you nervous?”
“yes. One of the habits of a sister-in-law is to put your lips together when you make up your mind, and that was the case a little while ago.”
“I’ll look after the sister-in-law, so you watch over that carriage.”
“all right.”
Obo went straight in the direction where the buns disappeared and jumped lightly like a cat over the fence. Then, as if walking on flat ground, he quickly walked over the fence and disappeared.

Hwabok, who heard the fireman’s words, was in a complicated mood.
“This is definitely not going to be easy.”
But after he finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
“Joe hyung-nim, who kept the prefecture so well despite the existence of such people, is really amazing.”
“Can I praise Jo hyung-nim later, or how should I resolve it first?”
“I can’t think of a sharp number. It would have been nice if it was five days later, but where is this the fault of the side line? It really deserves to die.”
In fact, the current tug-of-war between Hwabok and Unga was almost ending with Hwabok’s victory.
The situation will come to a conclusion in the next five days or so.
I couldn’t help but feel regret that it had flown away.
“There are ways to think of it as an opportunity.”
“A chance? can you?”
“We have to fight for strength.”
The painter looked at Hwabok, who tilted his head, and continued.
“This guy has a pretty big background, but he’s a guy who died after committing a crime. There is also the Vice-Chancellor who will be proof of that. On top of that, if the corruption of the upper ranks that you have been investigating so far is enough, it will be a justification for mobilizing the military.”
“If the opponent is a bandit, we can’t even mobilize the military to punish the guild.”
“I will use the shea sapae.”
“Wasn’t your shea sapae limited to Uicheong?”
“His Majesty confined it to the will, but Taewi-nim gave permission to use military authority when necessary.”
“Am I really? But that’s overstepping his authority...”
“Strictly speaking, Taewi-nim has the right to command the military, so it’s not overstepping his authority. You can regard some of your powers as granting me.”
“Kuhm is it? Well, that doesn’t matter now. Anyway, it’s important that you can use the army.”
The worry quickly disappeared from Hwabok’s face.
“Brother, give me some paper, pencil, and ink.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“Coming to think of it, I think I’ve been neglecting Taewi-nim too much. I’d like to ask you how I’m doing after a while.”
“I should have done that beforehand. Is it because the lights are falling on your feet?”
“Do I look too foolish?”
“I can’t help it right now even if I show a little inside. we are here.”
When Hua Fu took out the bamboo stick, the painter hurriedly wrote something on it and sent it to Luoyang.
