Episode 332: Common Enemy (1)
Jo Hyeon was so embarrassed that he raised his sword first.
“Who are you!?”
Since when have you been sneaking into his residence? And that too, without even a rat or a bird knowing, breaking through the siege of warriors spread out outside.
Jo Hyeon’s doubts soon turned into bewilderment.
“...What is it? Could it be that I saw something for nothing?”
He blinked his eyes constantly. This is because the girl hanging from the ceiling suddenly evaporated right before my eyes.
When I looked at the commander-in-chief, I saw him extending his index finger toward the back of his shoulder with startled eyes.
Johyeon looked back without thinking and was shocked.
“Hi!?”
Unbelievably, the girl had moved behind her.
Are you watching but missing the movement? Now I was even confused as to whether it was a person or a ghost.
At that time, General Jin opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“You can’t believe it...”
Johyun touched his arm and urged him to say his next words.
“Hurry and explain who you are.”
“I think it’s Moorim’s Eumgoe. “There is a battle between the Murim Lord and the supreme position...”
At least in Shaanxi, it was also the most famous name.
Even those who are not familiar with the situation in the martial arts world have heard it at least once.
“that’s right. “The evil one is me.”
Jo Hyeon, who came to his senses, put his hands together and began to bow down to Yu Seol.
“Why did such a precious person come to this squalid place...”
“I heard they were looking for a bodyguard. “Do you want to hire me?”
“It doesn’t make sense to hire a high-ranking employee. “If you just help us, we’ll give you as many cases as we can.”
Jo Hyeon had already put aside everything, including his pride, and hung on desperately. Because it was the only rope that could save his life.
Yoo Seol smiled quietly and stretched out his index and middle fingers.
“Can you give me this much?”
“If there are two or two....”
What kind of riddle is this?
Jo Hyeon could not easily answer. This is because the unit was not guessed.
At that time, Yoo Seol seemed frustrated and asked for the desired amount.
“Twenty nyang of silver!”
Was it because the price was reasonable? Johyun sighed in relief.
After finally calming down, he proposed again with a serious face.
“If the Great Council can just hold Bangmyo, I will give you ten times that much.”
At that moment, Yoo Seol’s eyes opened like a rabbit.
It’s like two hundred cats? It was twice the bounty on Bang Myo.
It was an enormous amount of money to pay for protecting just one elderly person.
“Two hundred nyang? “It’s not a lie, is it?”
“If I weren’t crazy, how could I deceive the world’s evil monster?”
There was no reason to refuse. Yoo Seol spoke softly with a shy expression, as if trying to hide her happy feelings.
“...Okay then. And the bounty is all mine, right?”
“of course.”
Jo Hyeon accepted without the slightest hesitation and softly called the commander-in-chief.
“Commander Jin.”
“Please speak, old man.”
“Please give me 100 nyang of silver as an advance right now.”
“Okay, I understand.”
As General Jin disappeared somewhere, Jo Hyeon guided Yoo Seol with a brighter face.
“It is fate that we met like this. “Please sit this way.”
Yoo Seol, sitting on a chair, asked, resting her chin on one hand.
“But will Fang Miao really come here? “You should definitely come.”
Jeonghye became sullen after hearing that there was no money and looked around.
Then, he quietly grabbed Yu Jin-san’s wrist and spoke softly.
“Then let’s sell this.”
When did you last see the colorful bracelets hidden in the sleeves? Eugene San was shocked and wrapped his right hand around the bracelet.
“This can’t be done!” “It’s a bracelet my granddaughter gave me.”
“Give it to me now, you beggar!!”
Baekgyu was sweating in the middle trying to stop the two who were fighting with each other, pushing and pulling each other.
“Don’t fight. “Why on earth do old people act like children?”
Coincidentally, their seat was in the middle of the guest room.
I was making a fuss unintentionally, but no one around me paid any attention.
They just put their faces together and whispered in very low voices.
“This is the famous master of Paedomun?”
“That’s right. I don’t know who the monk is, but I saw him once in Shaanxi. And do you know who’s on the other side?”
“If you don’t know, you’re not a martial artist. Among the famous yin-yang twin monsters, it is the great yang monster. But what are these amazing people doing in Hanam?”
The martial arts people who were whispering in the corner lowered their voices even further.
It was a low voice, like a mosquito buzzing.
“Could it be related to that incident?”
“The rumor that Gaegae’s guns were killed in droves?”
“okay. “Wouldn’t it be possible with experts of that level?”
“If there was even a large-scale conspiracy, it would be more than enough. But they really did that...”
The young warrior who continued speaking was startled and his complexion turned pale. This was because the three absolute masters were staring at him with blunt faces.
Could it be that you heard that little conversation from so far away? The young warrior and his companions were restless, not knowing what to do.
And they were confident that their ominous premonition had not been wrong. Because the sheep got up from its seat and was coming towards us.
“I have committed a deadly sin.”
“Please just spare my life, Daehyup!”
Yu Jin-san spoke softly to those who apologized profusely.
“Do you see the monk frowning behind me? I have a bit of an impatient personality. So, I hope you can tell me the main points quickly.”
“...yes?”
“This is what you guys talked about a little while ago. “What happened to the total openness?”
“We don’t know the details either. “I only heard a rumor that they were massacred a few days ago.”
Where is the openness? It is a powerful and gigantic force comparable to the previous prestigious political factions.
Hanam’s Chongta, where countless masters are waiting, is being slaughtered? It was something I could not believe.
“If it were Chongta, there must have been hundreds of beggars who learned martial arts, right? “They’re all really dead?”
“I don’t know if the rumors are true, but that’s what I heard.”
Chongta was the heart of openness where the ark stayed. Who on earth did this?
That’s when I took a moment to organize my thoughts. Another of the guests spoke cautiously.
“There is one survivor.”
He was a middle-aged swordsman who sat alone in a corner and drank alcohol in silence. He seemed to be an expert from a political faction, but it was hard to guess whether he was a monk.
Anyway, if there were any survivors, they would be able to find out about the evil eye. I had to find out who on earth was causing such a stir.
Baek-gyu, who was holding Jeong-hye’s wrist and calming her down, asked urgently.
“Who is that? “Where can I meet you?”
“It’s Shinyangchon near Gaebong. “I heard it was at the home of a famous congressman there.”
Knowing the details, I was able to vaguely guess his identity.
Therefore, Baek Gyu, an executive of the Apostolic Association, had no choice but to check the reason.
“You seem to be a member of the Murim Alliance. Why are you giving us this information?”
“There is no other reason than that I want you to catch that evil beast.”
There were more than one force that suffered in the same way. Since the sect affiliated with the Sadōryun was also attacked, the evil beasts were a common enemy.
The intention may be to use the enemy to subdue the enemy.
Anyway, now that I have the information I need, all that remains is to go and ask.
Eugene San approached Baek Gyu and suggested.
“If it’s close to opening, it won’t take that long. “Why don’t you go and check it out?”
“We’d better do it. If we let it go, we’ll be suspected of doing it.”
