Episode 314
‘Reminds me of the old days.’
I remembered the time in the past when I toured the entire Zhejiang region with Dojang Tianyu and suppressed a group of black thieves and thieves.
At the time, I didn’t have any hardships or hardships, but when I think about it now, it was just a memory.
I felt a sense of another world.
Now I have subordinates who move things for me even if I don’t have to use my hands myself.
There was no need to sweat hard dealing with a motley crowd.
‘This is why people should gain power and rise to high positions.’
Every time Changin Dojang used the Four Days Sword Technique, the bandits who were attacking him shouted and fell down.
It was indeed an act of inaction worthy of a talented person who would lead the future of the Jeomchang faction.
Although his arrogant personality of looking down on others did not change, his skills were genuine.
‘Now I know how to discern between interests and interests to a certain extent.’
It wasn’t just Changin Dojo that grew.
The Cheonwoo Dojo was no different from him.
Even though he was dealing with multiple enemies, his movements showed composure.
‘My hand has become quite cruel while I haven’t seen it.’
Was there some kind of change of heart?
Perhaps his values changed after seeing the disciples of the monk who died on the battlefield.
‘Are you the same person as the back-and-forth Taoist who had a fight with me over whether or not to give the bandits we defeated a chance to rehabilitate?’
Although he still did not take the life of the defeated enemy, he did not hesitate in the series of movements of abolishing the danjeon and cutting the tendon.
There was not a hint of hesitation.
“Kaaak!”
“You monster!”
“Ha surrender! I surrender! “Please just spare my life!”
Of the dozens of arrows fired by the bandits, not a single one injured a horse or person.
On the other hand, due to the activities of the two Taoists, the formation established by the bandits collapsed miserably.
There was no longer a fight or anything.
It was a one-sided massacre.
“All the way there!”
By the time more than half of the bandits had been subdued.
A bald-headed man emerged through the bushes on the right and threw out a lion’s hooves.
Dojo Cheonwoo and Dojo Changin ignored the voice and continued swinging their swords.
“Ugh!”
“Now wait!”
The bandits, who had been relieved by the appearance of reinforcements, were startled and took their stance.
“You guys! “Can’t you hear me?”
Tendons sprouted from the bald man’s forehead.
As I watched the situation, I narrowed my eyes.
‘It looks like Chaeju came in person.’
A supreme expert.
It was an act of inaction that was too outstanding for one thing.
Even so, it is difficult to deal with a single member of the Cheonan Inspector General.
‘That’s quite a number.’
If you think about it, there was no way that there were only fifty bandits belonging to the Sanchae under Nokrim.
Aside from the group that showed up late, there were probably more people guarding the mountainous area.
thud!
The bald-headed man slammed the godfather in his hand on the floor and shouted as if warning.
“Do you think you can do something like this and get away with it?”
“Is there any reason why you can’t be safe?”
As I answered with interest in my voice, the man turned to me with fierce eyes.
He seemed to have intuitively realized that I was the leader of the group.
“You will regret it! “You certainly don’t think you can roam around the central plains as you please, ignoring the name of Green Forest!”
“So, are you saying that if you don’t want to become a target of the green forest and be chased away, you should take care of yourself?”
“It’s not just you! “Not only your family and friends, but even your in-laws and cousins will all be in danger!”
I stopped laughing.
Since it seemed like there would be no answer to this by force, it seemed like they were trying to put pressure on this side by using the power of their group.
A normal person might have been frightened by that threat.
Bandits are everywhere in the central plains and Noklim’s influence is that great.
As the bald man said, being on the list of killings in the green forest meant that both the person involved and the people around them would be in danger.
“That’s interesting. “Can I ask your nickname?”
“This is Chabaekbu, the leader of Yongolchae (龍骨砦)!”
“Jambaekbu. “You were one of the twelve heroes of Green Forest.”
I looked down at the Baekbu who had been tied up and dragged to the front of the carriage and asked him a question.
“Where is the keel bar?”
“......?”
“Please guide me. “There has been an unexpected delay, so I will have to spend the night there today.”
* * *
A large mountain village located halfway up an unknown mountain.
The Cheonan inspectors, who had driven the captured bandits into prison, belatedly prepared dinner.
“die!”
“You damn bastards!”
The rescued women threw stones and curses at the bandits.
There was even someone wielding a pole that I didn’t know where it came from.
Sigh!
“Ugh.”
One bandit, who had lost his dantian and was in a haggard state after being hit on the head by a stone, fell to the ground and convulsed, but no one paid any attention to him.
It was called cause and effect retribution.
Even if he lost his life due to the women’s anger, it was his karma.
Grumble!
A bonfire was lit and a cauldron was placed on top of it.
Various spices and ingredients were thrown into the boiling water.
The fragrant smell of the wild boar meat that the bandits had caught and dismembered was cooking and spreading.
Dok Go-seong and Lee Soo-yeon distributed dishes to the hungry women who gathered there.
“Eat it slowly.”
Dok-go-seong looks at the women who are hastily eating with pitiful eyes.
Unlike me, I could tell that he truly felt sorry for the women’s situation.
On the other hand, it was difficult to find emotional agitation on Lee Soo-yeon’s face.
Is it because I learned ice skills?
There was no feeling of Kangho’s first appearance at all.
After finishing the meal.
I got up first and searched the borrower’s residence to collect anything that could make money.
The plan was to send the collected items and goods into the hands of the rescued women.
Squeak.
While taking steps.
A subtle noise penetrated my ears.
I looked down at the floor and a smile appeared on my face.
When I unsheathed the sword and struck it, there was a ‘thong’ sound.
This meant that there was an empty space under the floor.
‘Anyway, I wonder if someone is a bandit.’
It seemed like they had set up a secret warehouse in the basement.
I don’t know why bandits like to hide their wealth so much.
Is it because, unlike ordinary people, they cannot use the battlefield?
After tearing off the floor, I narrowed my brows slightly as I scanned the dark underground space with my eyes.
I felt a strange sense of heterogeneity.
Hiss!
The moment I landed in the underground space, something sharp flew at my neck.
Having already figured out the other person’s presence, I lightly tilted my head to avoid it.
“who are you.”
“.......”
I asked for his identity, but there was no answer.
Instead, quick and powerful sword strikes continued to pour in.
I lightly waved my hand and blocked all the incoming attacks.
It’s a fairly useful skill, but it’s not the slightest threat to me right now.
‘Why were you hiding in a place like this? ‘Why haven’t you run away yet?’
The masked person who emerged from the darkness was covering his entire body with tight-fitting night clothes.
It was an outfit reminiscent of Hao Wen’s leader.
The third herbivorous Seungryongken (乘龍拳) of the Byeokryeokken.
I lightly dug into the other person’s arms and stuck my fist into the solar plexus.
“Ugh!”
Unable to withstand the shock, the masked person vomited out what was inside on the ground.
I looked down at the masked person with cold eyes and said.
“Please reveal your identity.”
“.......”
“If you don’t answer this time, I will torture you.”
