Warlord’s Return Episode 71
“I guess he’s not coming back.”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who returned after dropping Dan So-mi off at the academy, looked at Nam Gung-cheon, who was now holding and swinging the Jingeom, and muttered.
Considering the way his expression changed the moment he heard that Mo Yonghyeokmun had become the Murim lord, I actually thought it wouldn’t be strange if he ran right away.
Namgungcheon calmly lowered his sword.
“What’s the use of going now?”
Namgungcheon, who had changed as the Murim lord, lost his power. Even if he goes back and examines the situation, no one will listen to his helpless words.
The reason he became the Murim Lord was because of his strength rather than his humanity.
Rather, by provoking Mo Yong-hyeok, something bigger may happen. If Mo Yong-hyeok really betrayed Nam Gung-cheon, things would not end so simply.
“It looks amazing. “That guy named Mo Yonghyeokmun.”
“There’s no doubt that even with a intact body, it’s actually a bit of a challenge, huh huh.”
Nam Gung-cheon smiled briefly and awkwardly. It is not for nothing that the term ‘Jungdo-Jeongja’ goes around. Someone who puts in that much effort and is equally talented.
He is undoubtedly a great person as he is one of the two people who pushed out the old faction that had maintained this political faction for a very long time and opened the era of the Eight Great Generations.
“I know that Mo Yong has a bad personality, but he was chosen by the people of the Murim Alliance. “I can’t and don’t want to interfere, so I think I’m going to stop talking about it now.”
I saw Nam Gung-cheon’s sincere eyes.
It is by no means the look in the eyes of a person who contains hatred toward the other person or lies. Moreover, there is no evidence anywhere that Mo Yong-hyeok brought down Namgung-cheon to become the leader.
Couldn’t it just be that the situation went that way?
I don’t want to doubt a friend I’ve known for a long time about something I’m not sure about.
“Right. Is everything going as it should…?”
“He has a somewhat strange personality… But he is still the one who leads the Han clan. That aspect is also rather reassuring and good, hehehe.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded at Namgung-cheon’s words.
It’s quite fun to be able to trust someone.
However, there was bitterness in his eyes.
Even though he realized this, Dan Woohyun smiled and turned his head.
This is Namgung-cheon’s work.
I have no desire to give advice or intervene.
Because he decided.
“So, do you know a person named Geumwangsu?”
“This is my first time hearing it.” Namgung-cheon nodded, saying yes then.
Dan Woo-hyeon, as we have seen so far, is a master with outstanding skills. However, since he has no ties to Moorim, he doesn’t seem to know anything about that place.
Should I say that he doesn’t seem interested?
It’s quite unusual.
If he is as talented as Dan Woo-hyeon, he could easily make a name for himself in the midfield.
“Geumwangsu
was the most outstanding thief in the Central Plains.”
“It was?”
Nangong Cheon nodded slightly. It is past tense.
It is said that there is no place he cannot enter and no place he cannot rob as a thief who was causing a stir in Jungwon until a few years ago.
It is said that Gyeonggong is so fast that no one can catch up with him in the midfield, and is also so good at hiding that once he is lost, he cannot be chased again.
Even if you follow the trace, it no longer exists.
“It seems he was a man of great stealth and alertness.”
“Stealth wasn’t very good. In fact, there were many cases where I got caught even if I tried to sneak in. However, one of the reasons he was able to pull off the theft perfectly was because of Gyeonggong.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded, saying “I see.”
There is no great interest in thieves. Most people who steal something end up not being good. Just looking at Jang Sam-tae, didn’t he lose all that money?
“Nobu also tracked him down for fun. And then I got this.”
Namgung-cheon took out a small barrel from his arms. Even though it was attacked, it was hidden so deep that it still remains in the body.
Moreover, even though I fell into the water of Dongjeong Lake, the things in the container did not get wet. That’s how meticulously it was made.
“map?”
“It’s a treasure map. “Treasure in the Golden King Tree.”
For a moment, Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes lit up.
I am not interested in the thief, but I am interested in the gold and silver treasures he has. Even if that were not the case, as the number of family members increased, more money was flowing out here and there.
Just as I was thinking about how to fill the gap, a treasure map suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it with an interested expression.
“I know very well that although I am staying in this manor, I am not actually doing anything helpful. So I’ll give it to you.”
“Find this and take it? “Maybe he already took it?”
“Hehehe, maybe so, but maybe not. Moreover, the rumor about Geumwangsu stopped three years ago, and most people are saying that he is dead. Because… the last place I robbed was a fairly famous place. Moreover, the place was quiet without any disturbance.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
Namgungcheon chuckled.
There may or may not be treasure. The probability is 50/50 and it may also be something that you have to struggle with. However, if there was any treasure, it was also an opportunity to obtain a huge amount of gold and silver treasure.
This is Dan Woo-hyeon, who can’t help but spend money.
There’s no way it won’t pass.
He stared at the map for a moment and then nodded.
“I’ll take it.”
I quietly looked at the map handed over to me.
This seems to depict an area, a village, and point to something. Since it wasn’t clearly indicated where it was and there wasn’t even any text, I felt like I had to think about it quite seriously.
“I’ve had this old lady for a long time and haven’t been able to get rid of it. Wouldn’t Nobu also be excited if you let him go? “Hehehe.”
“It’s harder than I thought. “It’s simply the topography so you don’t know where it is…”
Namgung-cheon also agreed with Dan Woo-hyeon.
He also couldn’t tell where it was because it was drawn so crudely. That’s why I gave up looking for it and carefully kept it in my arms.
I was wondering if I might come across a similar place while wandering around the central plains.
“…Isn’t that Hubei?”
At that time, I heard a small muttering sound.
Before I knew it, Kwon Moo-jin had come to my side and opened his mouth.
“Hubei?”
“Yes, if you follow the water stream west from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, there is a large village called Hanqian. It looks like I drew that place…”
Dan Woo-hyeon and Nam Gung-cheon listened closely to Kwon Moo-jin. Actually, I don’t know if what he said is right or wrong, but as I listened to Kwon Moo-jin’s confident words, I felt like there was a chance.
“It’s Hubei… Hubei…”
“First of all, there’s no doubt about it. “It’s a place I used to live in for about a year, so I’m familiar with it.”
I didn’t live because I wanted to live.
Kwon Moo-jin was once in charge of hiding in Hubei and handing over information to Emperor Wu. Hancheon was close to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, and the town was quite large, so it was the most suitable place to obtain information.
“Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked back and forth between Ji-do and Kwon Moo-jin and nodded. Although he looked like he had no idea what he was thinking, he soon
put the map in his arms and said what he was thinking.
“For a moment… I guess I should go on a cruise around Hubei.”
“Where are you going?” That evening.
Jang Sam-tae and Dan So-mi opened their eyes in surprise at the words spoken during dinner. There was no warning until now, but it came out of nowhere.
“It’s Hubei.”
“Somi knows too! “I heard there’s a place called the Shaman faction there.”
Dan So-mi smiled and looked expectant. Hubei is famous for the spectacular scenery of Wudang Mountain. As Dan So-mi, who is still young, knows, Hubuk is as famous as Honam.
“Why Hubei? Well, I admit that there are many famous places and things to see, but…”
Jang Sam-tae muttered with a somewhat uncomfortable expression. Unlike Honam, Hubuk is dominated by the Murim family and clans.
To the west, the Shaman faction.
To the east is the Zhuge Dynasty.
Even now, shamans are more vicious than ever. Since Samcheon’s body was not found on Gunja Island last time, the fire in his eyes was burning even more.
At least try to have an accident in a place like that.
There will be a sword fight with the shaman right away.
Just thinking about it made Jang Sam-tae tremble, as if he was sick of it.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was quietly watching the scene, chuckled.
“You and Somi can’t go.”
” yes?”
“to?”
At the same time, a strange sound flowed from the mouths of the two people. They were wondering what to do about going to Hubei, but when I told them not to go, their eyes were filled with confusion.
This was especially true for Dansomi, who was looking forward to it with great anticipation.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, looking as if he was about to burst into tears.
“why…?”
“First of all, the distance is too far. Not worth taking with little Somi. Besides, don’t you have to go to school?”
“But… But I also want to go to Somi.”
“We cannot leave the second manor empty.”
Jang Sam-tae flinched at those words.
Dan Woo-hyeon is right.
Recently, two martial arts sects came to Akyang. Although they are said to be a nameless small and medium-sized faction, they are expanding their influence and dominating the surrounding area.
If you leave the manor empty in such a situation, you never know what might happen. Even if it is a place where no one lives, you can take something with you as you please.
Someone who could understand the situation in Agyang was needed.
Also, although it is unfortunate, if Dan Xiaomi cannot go, there is no one who can take care of this child and be negligent.
He could have left it up to Hong Won-chang like last time, but Woo-hyeon doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing so. There is a reason why it is busy with the recent arrival of Akyang clans, but Somi also would not like her own house and someone else’s house.
“If all three leave the house… the crops die.”
‘That’s it.’
‘That’s it…’
Jang Sam-tae and Dan So-mi were convinced.
The crops laid down next to the manor are considerable. This is an important time to harvest properly, so we needed someone who can manage it properly.
But if everyone goes, there is no one to do it.
Danwoohyeon said that although Dansomi was important, the biggest goal seemed to be that there was no one to manage the crops. These are two people who I understand, but for some reason I don’t like.
“Hehe, then this old lady will stay and play with Somi.”
“Are you okay?”
“of course. “Actually, I’m not really interested in that anymore.”
Namgungcheon chuckled and picked up Dansomi, who was sitting next to him, and placed her on his lap. Although I was curious about the treasure that Geumwangsu had for a long time, I was more satisfied with being with this child now.
“Would you like to play with this father while your father is gone?”
“Hehe, thank you, grandfather!”
Dan So-mi smiled brightly and snuggled into Nam Gung-cheon’s arms. The two were so familiar that anyone who didn’t know them would definitely think they were granddaughters.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked somewhat displeased with that, but there was no need to criticize Nam Gung-cheon for his decision.
I nodded slightly and opened my mouth.
“Then please take care of the manor.”
