Episode 427: The Thief Princess of the Desert (1)
From now on, we had to change our methods.
The enemy’s commander, Gyulhwacheonju, and the Four Great Buddhas who follow him. And this is because the Red Lion, the strongest divine beast of the Heavenly Axis, entered Dunhuang.
The same type of surprise operation was too dangerous.
“So where are you going now?”
Eugene San was secretly moving somewhere, following his granddaughter.
It was around the time of the solar eclipse as we drove through the desert west of Dunhuang.
“I heard that supplies come in through the west gate every two or three days. “We’re going to attack that convoy.”
Not only did they burn down their warehouses, they said they would also attack their convoys. If successful, all enemies will suffer from extreme hunger.
Jinsan Yu smiled happily as he watched his granddaughter grow day by day.
“That’s amazing. “Did you plan that far in advance?”
“Yes! “Grandpa says it’s not a good idea to solve everything by force.”
My granddaughter’s talent, which has been innate since she was a baby, has shined even brighter recently.
In the past, they would have wanted to kill him by force, but now they are trying to stop him and kill him.
“Yes, very well thought out. “It may be more painful for those who suffer.”
“Hi-Hi. “Let’s hide over there and wait.”
At the place the granddaughter pointed to, there were traces of a carriage passing by.
It appears that supplies were previously transported from Tianchuk to Dunhuang through this place.
Joson took his place, hiding himself behind a tree.
Now all that’s left is to wait endlessly.
Eugene San, leaning back against a tree, closed his eyes and continued meditating.
Then, when I heard a rustling sound, I opened my eyes and glanced to the side.
“What are you doing baby?”
Yuseol was squatting down and fiddling with the sand with both hands.
“Grandpa, can you do something like this?”
As I watched carefully, the sand controlled by my granddaughter’s energy began to form shapes in the air.
The sand, which moved strangely, constantly created elegant appearances on its own.
It was truly a strange sight.
“How did you do it? “It seems like the sand has hardened.”
“I saw it in a book a while ago. “They say that if you apply a lot of heat to the sand and then cool it again, it becomes very hard.”
He said he’d been reading a lot recently, and it seemed like he’d read a lot of miscellaneous books.
Yu Jin-san nodded repeatedly with an expression of surprise.
“I didn’t even know how much it would cost. But what are you making?”
The sand that was spinning between Yu Seol’s hands soon began to change into complex shapes.
It was a high-level task that required not only great endurance, but also precision and concentration.
After a while, something was completed through a series of processes, and Yoo Seol gently grabbed the end and laughed.
“It’s a sand flower. how is it?”
“her. It’s really beautiful. “As long as you add color, you can call it a fresh flower.”
It wasn’t just a joke.
The workmanship was so extraordinary that I couldn’t help but admire it.
“yes? “Then stay still.”
Yuseol began to bring a flower made of sand to the grandfather’s ear.
“Why are you putting this in your ear?”
Jin-san Yu grumbled, but did not bother to avoid it.
It’s a desolate desert with no one around, so what if there’s nothing there? There was no reason to feel embarrassed.
At that time, Yoo Seol put both hands together and asked with an expectant expression.
“Grandpa, don’t you make a gift for Lunar New Year?”
He also asked me to make something using sand.
I didn’t necessarily feel like it, but my granddaughter wanted it so I couldn’t ignore it.
Besides, the only thing left is time.
There was nothing to do anyway until the guys escorting the supplies showed up.
Eugene San reluctantly spread his arms and took a stance.
“Hmm! “I haven’t tried it, but I’ll give it a try.”
As I concentrated my mind and used my energy, the sand on the floor flowed back and a sphere was created.
Ssssssseu-!!
Every single grain of sand was moving under Yujinsan’s control.
The work went easier than expected. This was because his level of skill had grown so rapidly.
Soon, the spinning sphere of sand began to gradually change.
“I’m curious~ What are you trying to make for me?”
“I need to concentrate, so don’t tell me to talk and just watch.”
It was a task that required a high degree of concentration.
Unlike his granddaughter, who was born with the temperament of a genius, Jinsan Yu had no time to speak.
Sssssssuk-!!
At that moment, everyone had blank expressions.
It was only now that he realized something was wrong due to the changed atmosphere of the rumors.
“Are you a thief?”
At that time, Yoo Seol tapped his palm with the gold bar and approached the captain.
“I’ll give you one chance too. When you say something nice, put everything you have on the floor. “Otherwise, I’ll make you happy with this stick.”
He returned exactly what the convoy had said a moment ago.
However, they were not warriors who would taunt at every word without even fighting.
“You crazy bitch!”
The first to move was the convoy’s leader.
His feet dragged along the sand and he approached the side of the river with strange walking methods.
It seemed like they were trying to do something with a surprise attack.
The sharp blade of the sword, curved like a crescent moon, was approaching his neck, but Yu Seol did not even look at him. He just slightly twisted his upper body and raised his right hand.
Up!
Before I knew it, Yooseol’s hand was holding the captain’s ears.
“Aaaah!”
The captain could not muster the courage to resist the tremendous force that tore off his ears.
“You can swear at the princess, you can’t~”
“I killed her...”
Before he could finish his words, Yoo Seol hit him on the ankle with the gold bar he was holding in her other hand.
Tsk tsk-!!
The leader of the convoy, who was hit in the leg, fell down on the sand.
“Ugh!”
He was very embarrassed.
Because he didn’t understand how he ended up like this.
But there was no time to be surprised.
Isn’t the Thief Princess raising and lowering the club she is holding with both hands, repeatedly?
It looked like he was taking the medicine while taking a stance as if he was going to hit himself.
“Where should I hit you? head? chin? waist? “Tell me what part you want.”
The convoy leader was very upset.
Who are you? He was a warrior from a great empire who served Arhat.
I was not the type of person to be treated as a guest by a princess from a tribe whose name I did not even know in such a desolate desert.
He attempted to use his position to threaten.
“Do you know who we are!? “This damned bitch is a mess...”
But whoever he was, Yoo Seol didn’t care.
The tip of the gold bar rising high into the sky struck his crotch like a thunderbolt.
What the heck-!!
The leader of the convoy curled up like a shrimp and foamed at the mouth.
Both eyes turned red in an instant, as if their veins were about to burst.
It was so painful that he couldn’t even scream.
“Turn it off...”
Yoo Seol left him behind and placed the gold bar on his shoulder.
Then he glanced towards where the carriage procession was and asked.
“it’s over?”
Yu Jin-san had already organized all the other samurai.
Everyone was lying out in the desert, freezing cold.
“OK. “Let’s quickly burn the wagons and leave.”
At that time, Yoo Seol rushed over and shouted.
“No food, Grandpa!”
“Why?”
“This is absolutely necessary. “For the people who are being dragged into heaven.”
Only now did Yu Jin-san realize his granddaughter’s intentions.
Just two days ago. Didn’t the residents of Dunhuang, who were captured by their enemies, set out for Tianzhu to become slaves?
After rescuing them, you will need sufficient reserves to settle them in a safe place.
“You had a plan?”
“Yes, I really wanted to save you. “I feel sorry for everyone.”
Jinsan Yu did not want to ignore the good deeds that came from his granddaughter’s heart.
No matter how cumbersome it was, it was something that had to be done.
“Then why are you hesitating? Let’s go quickly.”
Of the four wagons, two were loaded with food.
After burning the remaining two wagons, Joson got into each of the remaining wagons and grabbed the reins.
The speed of the slave procession must be very slow.
“let’s go!”
“Oh? If you run diligently, you will be able to catch up in half a day.”
