Chapter 238

Episode 238 Iron Blood (2)

“I inform the Commander-in-Chief. It is said that Lord Xiao has now passed through the city gate.”

“Well, okay.”

“If you do it, that’s enough.”

Ho Yao-seong, who was watching Myein leaving after finishing the report, turned his gaze again.

“Anyway, you made a big decision.”

“What?”

“It’s the Salwang Train. “Aren’t you hiding it so that you can show it off at this Pasun Festival?”

Soyeonsim chuckled.

“You can’t fool your eyes, Commander-in-Chief.”

“You can tell just by looking at me.”

“I don’t think the leader will be very impressed anyway. “You’re not surprised by that.”

“That is correct. Rather, it would have been a better choice to hand it over to Lord Xiao.”

“I think so.”

Soyeonsim, who was sipping tea, tilted her head.

“Anyway, Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan Sect made a plan. “It won’t be easy to do that.”

“Have you heard from Master Xiao?”

“Approximately.”

Hu Yaosheng shook his head.

“Hong Sanzi, a long-time scholar of volcanoes, has been a talkative person since ancient times. He is strong in martial arts, but his personality is extreme, unbecoming of a Taoist.

They say that not only is his pride strong, but his arrogance reaches the sky.”

“It seems like the previous scholars had poor insight to select such a person as their chief writer.”

“uh? “Didn’t you know?”

“What?”

“The reason why Jang Mun-in stepped down was because of Hong San-ja.”

“yes?!”

“The reason why Hong San-ja, who has an extreme and arrogant personality, was able to become Jang Mun-in is because he was good at gaining power.

It is difficult to say that he is good at politics even with empty words, but he seems to have unexpectedly been capable of it. If I had to compare it, would I say that I have the temperament of an alley leader?”

“I understand.”

“yes. With that force, they pushed back the previous force. “I don’t know if there was an actual stabbing.”

“In a way, he is a great person. “It would be difficult to dare to do something like that with a decent amount of distribution.”

“The crime of manipulating death. It is a serious crime that will forever be reviled by the martial arts faction. However, looking at the fact that such a thing was actually possible, it appears that the current political faction, Murim, is very rotten.”

“Iknow, right.”

Soyeonsim sighed.

“Every time I hear information like this, I wonder.”

“which?”

“You shouldn’t feel this way, but… Why did the church leader reduce the school’s external activities?”

“Hmm.”

“They say you know ten when you see one. If Hwasan Jang Mun-in was that kind of person, it would be obvious without even looking at him.

Furthermore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if the Hwasan Sect, a famous swordsman, is like that, not only the nine factions but also the entire five generations have become so rotten.”

“Of course.”

“Sometimes it’s frustrating. “If only the leader would step forward, I think he could crush them all at once.”

Soyeonsim did not know that the power struggle between forces was not that simple.

However, the power of Lee Cheon-sang and the current military force of Shingyo are so powerful that it is difficult to find a precedent. This means that you can move actively enough.

Ho Yo-seong smiled meaningfully.

“Is that really true?”

“yes?”

“Do you think So Wonju saw things in a different order?”

“What do you mean?”

“Was it the first time a tiger cub grew up and became the king of the jungle, or did an Imoogi the size of a house escape from the jungle first?”

“…!!”

“Is it really because of the tiger that the hungry beasts disappeared and the jungle rotted away? “Isn’t it because of the Imoogi’s wait to turn the jungle into a poisonous place?”

Surprise appeared in So Yeonsim’s eyes.

“Does that mean that the religious leader intentionally reduced external activities?”

“Who would be able to see through the inner thoughts of the leader?

However, it is clear that the martial arts faction began to rot after the leader curtailed external activities.”

Hu Yaosheng took a sip of tea.

“And now the leader of the small church has left the main school.”

“….”

“It’s going to be fun from now on. “Isn’t that right?”

Soyeonsim laughed as if she was in despair.

“okay. “I guess I was worried for no reason.”

“It’s not a needless worry. “Doesn’t this mean that Sowonju’s loyalty to our school is that deep?”

Hu Yaosheng buried his back in the soft chair.

The emotion that appeared on his languid face was clear excitement.

“This is the journey of a demon lord running without hesitation… I’m really looking forward to it.”

It was then.

Mine’s voice came from outside the door.

“Commander General.”

“What’s going on?”

“Gongnyeo Oh has come to see Commander-in-Chief.”

Ho Yo-seong and So Yeon-sim’s eyes widened.

* * *

“That’s amazing.”

Surprise appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“Is it okay for a carriage to be this comfortable? “This is worse than the one sent from the Demon God Palace, isn’t it?”

The comfort of the seats was by far the best. Should I say ride comfort? Even though I was riding down the mountain path, the tremors I felt inside the carriage were extremely subtle.

If the tremor is this much, the sound must be terrible. The soundproofing was so thorough that it would be enough to describe it as quiet.

Yeo Sang-rin also looked around the carriage with surprised eyes.

“It’s big enough for five people to lie down and has soft seats… I could just sleep here. “This is my first time seeing a carriage like this.”

“That’s right. “Is this your first time seeing cherry blossoms?”

Cherry blossoms looked as if their souls had run away. I looked down at the seat with my mouth wide open, but my pupils were blurry.

Xiliang clicked his tongue.

“That’s crazy.”

“It’s worth it.”

Yeo Sang-rin sighed.

“That’s sad. “It would have been nice to ride with Ma Howie as well.”

“Well, I think so too, but I think it would actually make me uncomfortable. Especially if I told you I would drive it, wouldn’t you be jumping up and down?”

Ma Dong-pil took it upon himself to be a coachman. Since it would be dangerous to bring a coachman anyway, he said he would pull the carriage himself.

Even though he had little experience driving a carriage, the ability of a master craftsman who has reached the pinnacle of horse-drawn carriage is beyond imagination.

After the carriage covered 30 miles, Ma Dong-pil’s horse driving skills reached their peak.

Yeo Sang-rin looked at Seo-ryang intently.

“cool.”

“what.”

“How can someone as strong and heavy as Ma Howie be loyal to Lord Xiaojiao?”

Xiliang snorted.

“why? Are you dissatisfied?”

“I’m just curious. No matter how much I think about it, Master Xiao and Howie Ma’s personalities are polar opposites.”

They may be polar opposites, but they are definitely not the same type.

“We went through life and death together.”

“You mean camaraderie?”

“There is something like that. In fact, if Dongpil wasn’t my subordinate, this relationship would never have happened.”

“Now that I think about it, that’s true. “I don’t think Master Xiao will bow to anyone.”

“It’s possible if you force it.”

For example, blood pressure or something like that.

Seo-ryang turned his head to the window. When I thought about that time, my mood sank.

“Anyway, are we just going to keep going like this?”

“yes? There is plenty of food. “I packed a lot in preparation for being homeless.”

“That’s not it. “It means that we will go straight to Shaanseo without stopping anywhere.”

“Then where should we stop?”

“…Well, if you say that, I don’t have anything to say. “I am going to the middle of the central plains of Iwangjisa Temple, and I thought it would be great to take a tour of nice places along the mountains and streams.”

Seo-ryang looked at Yeo Sang-rin with an angry face.

“Do you know that we are going to have fun?”

“That’s just it.”

Yeo Sang-rin puffed out her cheeks.

It was clear that he loved traveling so much that he went on a cruise from the far-off North Sea to the central plains.

Normally, if you were held hostage in a new church, it would be normal for you to be nervous and shaking, but Yeo Sang-rin stamped her feet, saying that she would see every corner of the new church in three days.

In some ways, he is an amazing guy.

“It’s going to be a very boring trip.”

“It’s boring… Is that possible?”

“yes?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“It won’t be particularly boring because we’ll get information from the guide and move along.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I know it when I see it.”

Three days later, Yeo Sang-rin realized what Seo-ryang meant.

When approaching the capital of Honam, adjacent to Guangdong, Ma Dong-pil stopped his horse.

Seoyang opened the carriage door as if he had been waiting.

Then, someone standing on a particularly large tree on a hill in the distance approached the carriage.

“It’s been a while.”

“okay.”

Gong Yaqi, the master of the company’s Hao Wen, bowed his head.

“Congratulations on becoming a small master of Shingyo.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“How did you know that?”

“It was written in a letter sent by Howie Ma.”

Seoliang glanced at Ma Dongpil. Ma Dong-pil cleared his throat.

“sorry.”

“What else do you have to be sorry for? “You’ll find out anyway.”

Gong Yachi said calmly.

“I was looking for ways to help in many ways, but I had no idea you would become a winner so quickly.”

“It just happened to be like that.”

Xu Liang waved his hand.

“Shall we stop talking about something that doesn’t work and get to the point?”

“great.”

The hardness is still the same. It reminded me of the first time I saw Ma Dong-pil in Gojuk Forest.

Of course, he was much more business-like than Ma Dong-pil at that time.

“There are three ways to get to Shaanxi from here, but seeing that carriage, I will exclude the two via the waterway.”

“good.”

“But you still have to use the waterway at least once. Even though you can only get to Honam by land, it is better to get help from the Yangtze River Road to pass through Hubei.”

Noklim Seventy-Two Chae (??????) and Yangjiang Thirty-Sixchae (??????) were a group of famous thieves in Wulin.

Although they cannot be simply dismissed as thieves, their power was so strong that most small and medium-sized factions could not compete with them.

If all the forces of Sanchae and Suchae were gathered together, the power would be greater than that of the Daemun faction.

Xu Liang frowned.

“Why?”

“Wolf knows more about sheep than the shepherd. In particular, the Yangtze River is their main stage. “It will be able to travel faster than any speedboat.”

“As long as it’s quick and certain, that’s fine. But they won’t cause any trouble, right?”

“For a group of bandits to survive for hundreds of years, they need many virtues. One of them is thorough fulfillment of the contract.”

Gong Yachi’s eyes sparkled.

“I assure you, they will never cause any trouble.”

“Okay then.”

“Rather, the problem may arise somewhere else.”

“hmm?”

“It’s by land. “There is information that Sanghyeolseong troops are secretly moving from northeastern Gangseo to the west.”

For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

It was difficult for even Gong Yachi of the world to face Xiliang’s eyes. Gong Yachi’s complexion gradually turned slightly pale as he lowered his head.

“Where is Iron Blood Castle?”

“Detailed information is still being obtained. However,

based on its miraculous movement speed and precision in leaving almost no traces while moving, it is presumed to be the Mukpungdae (???), one of the main units of the Iron Blood Castle.”

“Mukpungdaera… “All of them?”

“That’s right.”

The Mukpungdae is the main unit of the Iron Blood Castle that takes advantage of mobility and is a unit that specializes in mountainous areas or urban warfare rather than the plains.

The strength of the Mukpungdae, which consisted of a total of 300 men, was not much inferior to that of the Gwangmadae.

“If all three hundred members of the Mukpungdae are moving, this is not normal.”

“yes.”

“Do you have any expectations?”

Gong Yachi thought for a moment and said.

“This is strictly my opinion.”

“okay.”

“I think I’m probably on my way to pick up the Iron Blood Lord’s concubine.”

“Concubine of the Iron Blood Lord?”

“That’s right. Three years ago, Lord Iron Blood took a concubine without anyone knowing.

“She was the wife of Cheongsabang, a sect near Akroksan Mountain in Honam, and was famous for her beauty.”

“Hoo?”

Xu Liang stroked his chin.

“Did you go to your home for a while to run errands?”

“That’s right.”

“When you sent them to your home, didn’t you think they would have sent them with an escort? But what about Mukpungdae?”

“I don’t know that. Maybe not a concubine. “Given the nature of the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle, it is surprising that in these unstable times, he would withdraw his military force the size of a mukpungdae because of his concubine.”

“Hmm, that’s interesting information.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“Anyway, we just have to be careful about them, right?”

“For now, yes. However, please be aware that the air quality in Hubei and Honam is unusual.”

“good. “Where can I watch next?”

“I will go to Hubei first.”

“I guess there’s a quick side road. “Can’t you guide us along that path too?”

“sorry.”

“It’s Hao Wen’s secret. “Okay.”

“then.”

Gong Yachi lowered his head once and retreated with agile movements. Although his sense of force was mediocre, his divine techniques were as fast as those of a transcendent master.

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“…Mukpungdaera?”
