Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 268

Episode 268. eat curses and survive

In general, thieves have a developed sense of touch.

Even petty thieves do that, let alone Muyoungshintu Baekkyo, a famous swordsman in Henan.

He instinctively knew that the middle-aged man was strange.

The thought of it once gave me goosebumps even though I was unarmed.

Perhaps he was an expert in martial arts or martial arts.

Just because the opponent didn’t have a sword, you shouldn’t be relieved.

Baegyo decided not to come down from the floor.

In addition, I didn’t intend to let that unknown man into the room.

“I will not go down, but I do not want you to come near either.”

“her! You are smaller than you look. So what are you going to do? Shall we do something that never happened? If you want that, I’ll go back like this.”

At the opponent’s provocation, Baek Kyo hesitated for a moment.

This is understandable since it is a crossroads between giving up 20,000 nyang or accepting it at all.

Then the man turned his body slightly.

Sometimes these small gestures are more effective than prompting an answer.

As expected, Baek Kyo reacted immediately.

“for a moment!”

“Have you changed your mind again?”

Baek Kyo smiled and answered the man’s smirk question.

“Why is someone who knows? You should leave the ticket in place. is not it?”

“ah!”

After a brief exclamation, the man took out a slip from his bosom and set it down on the ground.

“I did what you asked me to do. I hope we never see each other again.”

After saying that, the man disappeared into the darkness.

The change of behavior was so fast that it was mistaken for a dream unless it was a slip lying in the yard.

However, even after the man left, Baek Kyo stood on the floor for a while and remained vigilant.

It was as if he would die if he left Maru.

Did it pass like that (15 minutes)?

Finally convinced of his safety, Baekkyo carefully descended into the yard.

Then he snatched the slip and brought it right in front of his eyes.

to check the amount.

In an instant, I smelled a strange smell from the slip.

“Such a punishment...”

With an ominous feeling, Baek Gyo threw the slip away.

But it’s already too late.

My head was spinning and my limbs were paralyzed.

It was a mistake not to have thought that the lion of the Zhuge family would use poison.

Soon, Baek Gyo’s body fell backwards.

After he fell down, the man emerged from the darkness as if he had waited.

The man retrieved the slip after confirming that Baek Gyo had stopped breathing.

“It was close. If the old fox had been a little later, I would have been in trouble.”

Once exposed to air, poison weakens over time. If Baek Gyo had taken a little longer, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.

Eventually, the man put the slip into a leather pouch and carefully closed it.

“Is it over now?”

The man, who was looking down at Baekkyo with bitter eyes, inadvertently scratched the bottom of his ear.

The bast cotton balls brushed against his fingertips lightly twitched.

Jegal Seung-woon, the new detective in the company, entered the room and turned it over loudly, then quietly disappeared.

***

Around noon.

About 200 unmanned people appeared on the country road.

They are the masters of the Cheonjimaeng Suzakudae who are heading towards Hodusan.

Sam Oh, a villager hired as a guide, said, pointing to a sign that said Yodu Village.

Namgung Byeok nodded to Namgung Jin, Daeju Cheoksa Sword, who was following him.

Namgung-jin took out three hermits from the bag he was carrying and handed them to Oh-sam.

“thank you. Enough with the small man then.”

Oh-sam, who was hunched over, ran to the road he had come from so that no one would catch him.

When we reached Walnut Mountain, the atmosphere became heavy.

The musketeer did not tell me how many twelve horsemen there were in Walnut Mountain.

I just said ‘some of them have moved’.

Those who experienced the inaction of the Twelve Horses felt a great burden from an unspecified number.

Only In Dae, who had never fought a famous religion, had a calm face.

Namgung Byeok called Namgung Yeon closer.

“You have to What should I do now?”

“You don’t have to go to the tiger’s den to catch a tiger.”

“What do you mean?”

Masters of jujakdae and ligament gathered around Namgung wall and Namgungyeon one by one.

“Do you want your father to live and be reviled? Or do you want to die with honor? That applies to all of you. Do you want to live even if you are cursed at? Or do you want to die clean today?”

In front of Namgoong-yeon’s sudden question, the masters blinked their eyes.

Sapphire ligament masters were the first to answer.

“Of course I have to live!”

Gyeonghonsagun, Daeju of Ingadae, looked around at Suzakdae with bleak eyes.

“Namgoong Sojeo, if possible, let’s go the way of living together. Still, if there is anyone who really wants to die, I will kill them right here.”

“Right!”

“If you want to die, tell me to die alone! We must live!”

“Fuck! Save me!”

The masters of the ligament desperately used a racket.

He was afraid that he would get caught up in the great cause of a political faction and walk into the limb.

Namgung Yeon asked Namgung Byeok again.

“What does your father mean?”

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

The masters of the orthodox faction did not even breathe, knowing that life and death depended on the decision of Daeju.

After thinking for a while, Namgung Byeok asked.

“Are you sure you will die if you follow the path of honor?”

“yes.”

At Namgoong-yeon’s answer without hesitation, people around him said, “Ah!” A sigh came out.

Everyone was in despair because it was the affirmation of the ten warlords without notice.

Moreover, there was no doubt that he was speaking to his father, Namgung Byeok.

“I won’t listen if you say you won’t hit the enemies of Walnut Mountain in order to survive.”

Namgung Byeok, a grand knight, did not want to live so cowardly.

“I will definitely fight the enemy. It just gets us criticized in the process.”

“If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid of being cursed at while fighting the enemy.”

At Namgung Byeok’s decision, the orthodox faction’s masters burst into cheers with ‘Wow!’

It seems that even the masters of the political faction wanted to live for a while.

“Yes, how do you fight and survive while eating swear words?”

At that moment, about 200 masters of the orthodox faction stopped breathing and paid attention to Namgung-yeon’s mouth.

“Please write the Johoi Mountain Range (調虎離山之計)”

Namgung Byeok and Seonu Dam tilted their heads.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a government official relies on a seal and a tiger relies on a mountain.

It means that the power of officials comes from seals, and the power of tigers comes from mountains.

Johoi Sanjigye means ‘to make the tiger leave the mountain’.

It is to fight by dragging the enemy out of advantageous terrain.

However, it was also true that it sounded a little out of the blue in the current situation.

This is because Mt. Hodu is not a place where famous schools or themselves can argue about good or bad.

Seonwudam, who was counting the number of cases, spoke carefully.

“So, people like us who are sharper than us understand it when we explain it more easily.”
