Episode 336: Trouble is approaching (2)
Provincial leader Hwang So-cheon, who entered the government office, looked embarrassed.
It was none other than the scene unfolding before my eyes.
Isn’t Buyun Wang Sa-pyeong struggling, lying face down on the bailiff’s table? The top official in the opening department.
And on his back, a monster was sitting, crunching its small, walnut-like hands.
“Great man...”
Seeing Hwang So-cheon with his mouth open, Wang Si-pyeong felt like he wanted to die.
I can’t believe the highest military officer from the country leading the Golden Army came to visit and was greeted like this.
“It’s shameful to see you like this.”
“What happened?”
Wang Siping looked at a loss as to what to say.
How can I say that I was receiving a massage on the table of the sacred government office that enforces the law? I have no choice but to cover it up in moderation.
“Well, we are being attacked by a monster. Please help me!”
Huang Xiaotian immediately turned his head and avoided Wang Siping’s gaze.
He was also the captain of the Changryongdae and had met the Yin-Yang Twin Monster several times.
At the same time, he was a person who knew better than anyone else the horror of evil.
“You mean an attack? “What kind of joke...”
When even Hwang So-cheon turned away, Wang Si-pyeong lowered his head in tears. Because I couldn’t raise my face anymore.
At that time, Yuseol, who was sitting on top of him, grinned and said.
“I’m giving you a massage and I’m doing this because I like it.”
Hwang So-cheon pretended not to notice and cleared his throat.
“Hmm!”
“But are you here to see Uncle Wang? “I have to wait a bit.”
“No, I came to see you.”
“Me? why?”
“I just came to say thank you after hearing that Bang Myo was captured. “He was a very difficult person, but thanks to you, it saved me a day.”
The reason why Podu, who had been sent to retrieve the bounty, was delayed seemed to be related to Hwang So-cheon.
No matter what the story was, I wasn’t interested in it.
“Then you will give me the bounty too?”
Hwang So-cheon took out something thin wrapped in silk from his pocket and held it out.
“I heard everything. It contains a voucher issued by the imperial family. “You can exchange it for 500 nyang of silver on any battlefield.”
A jeonjang (錢場) is a place where you can exchange money and can be found in the markets of large cities.
It made no difference whether I received it in kind or in a voucher.
What was important was that the hermit was worth a whopping five hundred nyang. It was a whopping 200 nyang more than the promised amount.
“Five hundred cat!?”
The new form of Yusul flew towards him at the speed of light.
Taaa-!
Yu Seol quickly snatched the slip from Hwang So-cheon and looked at its contents.
It was definitely a 500-nyang silver voucher with the imperial seal stamped on it.
“You caught Bang Myo like no one else. Moreover, since it is a reward for holding a government position, it is only right to receive that level of compensation.”
At that moment, Yoo Seol criticized Wang Sa-pyeong with a venomous look in his eyes.
“You said 500 nyang of silver won’t work!? “You said you couldn’t give it to me?”
Wang Sa-pyeong, who was freed from bondage, got down from the table and said,
“That means there is a problem with my authority. “That person is higher than me.”
To calm down the fussing voice, Hwang So-cheon spoke in a polite tone.
“What the Great King said is not wrong. So please stop your anger.”
Wang Sa-pyeong was also anxious.
If you get angry, you don’t know what harm you can do to yourself.
He asked Huang Xiaotian to change the topic.
“Anyway, the provincial commander wouldn’t have come all the way here just to hand over the bounty. “Do you have any other business?”
As Wang Sa-pyeong expected, Hwang So-cheon came for a different business.
He nodded once and then asked Yu Seol again.
“That’s right. “I have one more thing to confirm with you, Mr.
“What?”
“I have confirmed the information that Yanggoi Daehyeop and Paedomun’s messenger headed to Seongsan. Of course, we were relieved because we thought you were moving together...”
It was a story about an evil beast that attacked and wiped out several martial forces without any connection.
It seemed that Hwang So-cheon was secretly hoping that Yin Kai would solve the problem.
“Your brother was right. “Because I go around like this, people don’t seem to be very suspicious.”
It was Baek Gyu, the owner of Paedo Gate.
For reconnaissance, he had obtained a Shaolin temple monk’s uniform and was wearing it.
Yu Jin-san said, barely holding back his laughter.
“You worked hard. “No matter how you look at him, he seems like an infallible monk.”
Baek-gyu took off his monk’s clothes and shook his head.
“Ugh. Don’t ever do something like this again. “If there is even a rumor in Gangho, it would be a complete shame.”
“If not now, when will I ever wear a monk’s uniform again? “Anyway, how did the reconnaissance go?”
Baek-gyu took off his monk’s clothes, sat down on the floor covered with fallen leaves, and spoke.
“Well, I guess we don’t have to step forward.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems that the Shaolin monk has already predicted this to some extent. “The temple’s entrance is very well prepared.”
“hmm. “How much was it?”
“There was a large Arhat camp spread out at the entrance. The rest are gathered in front of Daeungbojeon, and even the Great Monk Hyegwang and the Four Great Geumgangs have come. And I also saw Monk Bangjang.”
The Great Nahan Jin is famous for the strongest fighting method performed by more than 500 monks.
And its power is known to be several times that of the Hundred Eight Nahanjin.
In addition, the Four Great Vajra, comprised of the four strongest monks in Shaolin Temple, were mobilized.
There was literally no Yongdamhohyeol.
“Do you mean that much? “It’s beyond your imagination.”
“Not only that. I saw about seven masters who came from outside to support me, but I think
they were probably the Changryongdae.”
Baekgyu asked with his eyes wide open.
“How do you know?”
“When it comes to matters related to Cheonchuk, they are the type of people who throw tantrums without hesitation.”
Moreover, Hwang So-cheon said that all information related there would be shared with the Murim Alliance.
So, to some extent, this was expected.
“Don’t you think we can just come down at this rate?”
In this situation, there was no need to remain here.
Especially from Baek-gyu’s perspective, the Shaolin Temple was like an enemy. I only came this far out of loyalty to the help I received from Jeong-hye.
It’s well-protected, so what else is there to do?
Yu Jin-san also nodded in agreement and looked at Jeong-hye.
“Are you relieved now? My younger brother tells me to stop going down. “Don’t just go in again, get beaten up, and get kicked out.”
“No....”
“What’s wrong with no?”
Jeonghye frowned and shouted irritably.
“It’s not enough!”
Jinsan Yu and Baekgyu quietly made eye contact with each other.
Because a feeling of anxiety passed through my mind.
“You’re saying it’s not possible even with so many experts gathered together?”
Jeonghye slowly nodded her head with solemn eyes.
“It’s dangerous... we’ll all die. “I have to go.”
At that time, an alarm bell started ringing in the direction where the temple was located.
Tsk-! Tsk-! Tsk-!!
Baek-gyu said as he took up his weapon.
“Looks like you’ve finally arrived.”
Yu Jin-san nodded once and said while holding Jeong-hye’s arm.
“If you don’t want to go and get embarrassed like last time, you should not step forward and just do what your brother tells you to do. First, let’s take a look at the situation. okay?”
“Okay, bro.”
After hearing the positive answer, Yu Jin-san looked satisfied and took out two pieces of cloth that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
And he held one of them out to Baekgyu.
“Why are you giving me this, brother?”
“There’s nothing good about our identities being revealed, so let’s at least cover our faces. Or put on your monk’s clothes again.”
Even if they covered their faces, they wouldn’t be able to hide their identities until the end. The Murim Alliance would also be aware of their whereabouts.
However, it was not possible for the masters of the Sa sect to openly go around Shaolin, the sect’s sacred place.
Baekgyu accepted the cloth without hesitation.
“I will refuse to wear monk’s clothing.”
After completing preparations, the three began moving in the direction of the temple without making any traces.
