Episode 416: The Great Assassin is a F*cking Assassin (2)
Before I knew it, another month had passed.
In the meantime, the mountain army brought from Taishan was calm, but many people were still afraid.
Maybe that’s why Yoo Seol was able to spend quite a bit of free time in the office. Because no one bothered me unless it was urgent.
“Hehehe. “This is fun.”
Yu Seol was holding a book with his right hand and a snack called Yangmei (楊梅) with his left hand.
It was a luxurious snack made by soaking seasonal fruits in honey and wrapping them in plum skin.
And the book I am looking at now was a contemporary narrative novel called Handanmonggi (邯鄲夢記).
The content of the novel was the dream story of a young man who fell asleep while making food. The main plot is about enjoying wealth and fame but waking up to find that it was all an illusion.
After laughing for a while, Yoo Seol closed the book and placed it on the desk.
“Are you saying that human wealth and prosperity and the ups and downs of life are as useless as dreams? “This guy says the same thing as my grandpa~”
No matter how smart he was, it was a logic he couldn’t understand after 13 years of life.
Will I be able to realize it when I reach the end of my life? But that was a story of the distant future. Because I haven’t even done my life’s work yet.
“Ahem. “Is there anything else to see?”
Yu Seol began to look through the books piled up on the desk.
It was a daily life that could no longer be peaceful. His face was full of relaxation.
Eunhwarin, who was in charge of Cheonyuhoe’s information, kept sending warnings about strengthening his personal security, but there was no need to pay attention.
What is there to worry about when the best bodyguards in Moorim are standing in front of the door?
Drurr-!
The sound of Darong snoring outside could be heard all the way here.
He was the god of tigers who came from the far eastern land and settled in Taishan after leaving behind numerous legends.
In terms of combat power alone, it could be said that it was the strongest divine beast.
Who would think of going beyond such a fearsome divine beast and aiming for the supremacy of martial arts?
‘Ah, it’s impossible. Our Darong is protecting me.’
In fact, a tiger’s sense of smell and hearing is 100 times better than that of humans.
But what if that tiger is a new level? Even a decent assassin wouldn’t be able to get close to it.
I didn’t even care about the rumors. So far,
“Huh!?”
Suddenly, Yu Seol’s ears perked up like a rabbit.
This is because Darong, who was snoring just a moment ago, was sending out a warning signal at the door.
just as expected. Soon, a familiar figure came running in with a huff.
Suddenly-!
“We’re in big trouble, Lord Hoe!”
He was the head of the Jigaekdang family who took charge of various chores at Cheonyuhoe.
If the head of the family makes a fuss and comes to visit in person, it is certain that something has happened.
“What happen?”
“The head of the clan was defeated.”
Yoo Seol jumped up from his seat.
Who is Seopwoon? He was nicknamed the Best Sword of Yunnan and was a Hwajing-level expert ranked among the top ten martial artists in Sapa.
“Why are you being treated, Mr. Seop? “Calm down and tell me what you mean.”
The head of the guest house took a breath and quickly continued his explanation.
“You were assassinated. “Who on earth...”
Who came into Cheonyuhoe, which was full of experts, and assassinated the head of the sub clan?
And Yoo Seol couldn’t understand why he attacked a strict person instead of himself.
First I had to go there and check.
“Hurry and guide me.”
Yu Seol began to follow him to the place where the incident occurred.
As I walked about half way, the tip of my nose wrinkled at the fishy scent of blood.
“It’s right there.”
The destination was one of the residences prepared for the executives of the Cheonyuhoe.
Dozens of people had already gathered in front of the pavilion and were whispering.
As Yu Seol got closer, everyone put their hands together and bowed their heads.
“See you Lord Hoe.”
Some of them looked familiar.
Yoo Seol pounded his chest as if his insides were burning black.
“Ha...”
“Then we will continue to search.”
“all right. Be careful, Master Maeng, too.”
The two exchanged brief greetings and then went in opposite directions.
Yoo Seol went straight to the governor’s office with a frustrated heart.
The place she was in had stronger defenses than other places.
As soon as we arrived, the head of the family who was in charge of the escort approached and guided us.
“I will take you inside, Lord Hoe.”
When I opened the door to the office, I saw Eun Hwa-rin working in her seat.
“Are you busy right now?”
“No, Lord Hoe. Please sit down quickly.”
She filled the empty teacup on the table and held it out to Yu Seol.
Yu Seol seemed to feel stuffy and drank it all in one go before putting it down.
“How can I catch him?”
There was no way that Eunhwarin could have been so sharp. If so, I would have used it a long time ago.
“Do you remember the contents of the Jeon Seo-gu that Elder Yang Gui stole from Tianlong Temple last time?”
“Are you planning to send me to heaven? “It was written to send ‘Nadani’ to catch me.”
Nadani was a title given to the greatest assassin in heaven.
Eunhwarin was confident that it was him who had infiltrated Socheonseong.
“you’re right. The same sprinkler is perfect for finding the sprinkler. “Wouldn’t it be of some help if we summoned Baeksang Protector?”
It’s not like Yu Seol hasn’t thought about it too.
If he, the best assassin in Moorim, comes, it will definitely be of sufficient help.
However, there was no guarantee that Nadani could be caught. Besides, isn’t he also carrying out an important mission in the opening?
“Baeksang Protector cannot do this. “You are protecting the emperor now.”
However, it was not possible to send mediocre replacement manpower. Because I didn’t know what kind of fearsome masters would come in from there.
Eunhwarin was equally frustrated.
“I feel embarrassed because I am being victimized helplessly. “Regardless of the level of martial arts, only the managers are being killed, so if this continues, the entire organization will be shaken.”
Yu Seol, who was quietly listening to her words, clapped his hands together.
“A good idea occurred to me. “Why don’t we all wear the same clothes and act so people don’t know who the manager is?”
“That’s a great idea. “This may not completely prevent it, but it will confuse him, so it may have some effect.”
But Yoo Seol’s plan didn’t stop there.
There were a few things I learned from my grandfather and read in military books.
“In that situation, you are digging a trap. Make a suitable bait...”
Eunhwarin tilted her head. This is because Hoeju stopped talking and blinked.
“Why are you doing that?”
After a while there was silence. Yu Seol’s lips slowly moved.
“I think I found it.”
“You’re looking for me? “What do you mean?”
It was not the time to answer her question.
Although it disappeared quickly, it was clear that what I felt for a moment was a deadly energy.
After finishing speaking, Yu Seol ran straight out the door.
Quang-!!
Yuseol escaped through the door and ran like a lightning bolt toward somewhere.
I couldn’t delay even a moment.
In an instant, he ran out of the alley and leaped high into the sky.
Taaa-!
Yuseol, which was hovering in the air like a hawk, immediately descended as if plunging towards the ceiling of the hall, which felt lifelike.
bang-!
“...?”
However, only one body was left lying where it had fallen through the roof.
I ran in the blink of an eye, but ended up being one step too late.
The person who suffered this time was also a familiar face.
Yu Seol, who was looking down at the body, began to tremble with both hands.
“Ssi....”
