Episode 151:
All those who fell into the evil spirit due to the Demon Cult Master were cured.
By now, Ak Yeo-ryeong’s disciple and Bang Cheok-sam’s wife would have woken up from their sick beds.
There was no reason to hide anything about them anymore.
Now is the ti to share the details with those around you and officially take credit for it.
“Hmm… … .”
Peng Mun-hwan’s eyes narrowed.
He only found out today that Lee Su-yeon was completely cured.
When he asked for an explanation with his eyes, Lee Kang-hak told him about the situation with an awkward expression.
The fact that he once tried to join hands with a demonic cult was omitted and the appropriate adaptation was added.
Pang Moon-hwan spoke as if he was disappointed when I nodded and agreed with him.
“You’ve been keeping such an important matter a secret from all this ti.”
“sorry. “At that ti, we had not yet been able to contact all the victims.”
“So you couldn’t trust ?”
“Is that possible? “I just thought it would be a good idea to minimize the number of people involved.”
I quickly filled Pang Mun-hwan’s glass with alcohol and then clinked glasses with him.
Pang Mun-hwan, who was drinking his drink with a nervous expression, sighed.
“Anyway, this is not a story to be taken lightly. “I never would have guessed that you went around crushing the conspiracy of the demonic cult leader without anyone knowing.”
“I didn’t do anything that great.”
“If this isn’t great, I don’t know what is. But what is the reason for revealing that fact now? “If possible, it would have been better to announce it before the discussion took place.”
“If you look at my personal interests, it would have been better that way. But not to others.”
“I think I know what you’re talking about. “I guess this ans that among those who were treated by you, there are people who are reluctant to spread the story about themselves, right?”
“That’s right.”
I slowly nodded and put my drink down on the table.
I did not intend to reveal the identities and identities of the five people who overca Simma.
There was nothing good about having the nas of Lu Xiaoyu and Hao Wen’s leader, Chen Jia Ling, who did not want to attract the attention of others, be talked about by the world.
Therefore, I have intentionally delayed the timing of publicizing related facts.
To reveal what needs to be revealed and hide what needs to be hidden.
What if the story about the martial arts book written by Ma Cyoju and the conspiracy surrounding it had beco known to people before the official trade was carried out?
‘He may have been pressured to explain the details of the incident at a gathering of key mbers of the Alliance.’
Of course, the fact that the other three people except Yeo So-ok and Cheon Ga-ryeong had fully recovered had to be announced sooner or later.
Because you can’t hide from others forever.
“Anyway, I never would have guessed that such an inside story was hidden during the sound ghost’s visit to the Sacheon branch.”
“Honestly, I was surprised too. “I never thought that the Lord of Shandong Akga would personally set foot in Sacheon.”
“But is it really okay?”
“What do you an?”
“It is obvious that the Demon Cult Master’s purpose was to put the demon’s disciple into a demon. “It is likely that he was trying to induce betrayal by inciting bad feelings toward the Hwangbo family.”
“…….”
“Even if Shandong Yuejia has no intention of betraying, many people will feel uneasy if that fact becos known. “There could be a situation where the Shandong music family suffers damage.”
“You don’t have to worry about that part. “In the near future, Shandong Akgaju will take the entrance examination.”
“……Are my ears wrong? “I think I just heard that the evil spirit is blind.”
“You heard correctly. “He said he would go back to the family and take care of a few things and then join his disciple.”
“This is news that will cause excitent throughout the central plains.”
Peng Wen-hwan’s expression beca blank.
It seed as if he had never thought that an absolute master who held the first rank of the Ten Heavenly Emperors would announce his intention to join the alliance.
I filled Pang Mun-hwan’s glass with alcohol again and said,
“There is sothing I would like to ask you, senior.”
“ask?”
“If the evil family mber commits himself to battle, the reaction of those around him will probably not be so positive. “In particular, the Hwangbo-se clan’s fierce followers will keep a tenacious check on him.”
“Are you trying to say that I want you to help her settle down safely?”
“That’s right.”
“This is not a request that can be easily agreed to. “I might have a conflict with the Hwangbo family’s warriors…” “
This is not a request I am making with my bare mouth. “I have a famous sword that I acquired when I was working as a mber of the Homyeonhyup, and I will give it to you.”
“brightness?”
“This is an item used by a Japanese general. “As far as quality is concerned, I think it will not be inferior to Gu Yaja’s famous sword.”
“…!”
Peng Mun-hwan’s eyes beca bright.
The main martial art of the Hebei Peng family was sword fighting.
As a direct blood relative of the Paeng family, it was natural that he, who had learned the family’s secrets, would covet the famous sword.
“Would you please do a favor?”
“I’ll listen to as much as I want.”
Two drinking glasses clashed in the air.
Lee Kang-hak, who was watching, clicked his tongue and said, ‘Tsk, tsk.’
He seed to feel uncomfortable seeing and Pang Moon-hwan openly exchanging bribes.
I emptied the alcohol in my glass in one go and muttered in my mind.
‘This concludes most of our schedule in Honam.’
After the long journey, it was ti to return to Sacheon.
* * *
After completing all the details of the itinerary, I set off on a journey to Sacheon with my group.
As I gazed at the receding distance with my arm resting on the window fra of the carriage, I let out a sigh of regret.
In the end, I wasn’t able to et Sohyeongeom until the day I left.
I tried contacting Peng Mun-hwan, but I had no choice but to give up as I didn’t get any kind of answer.
‘I owe you money unexpectedly.’
Thanks to Sohyeongeom’s hard work, he was able to make a big profit.
Separately from the rewards given by the ng, the Nine Daemun Sect and the Five Daesae Family also repay each other separately?
I can guarantee that this news would cause a huge stir.
That’s how much my reputation will increase.
‘I don’t know how to repay this favor.’
Rattling!
The road back was smooth.
He entrusted the work to a large representative office in Honam and entrusted him with miscellaneous tasks, including escort, and did not rush his schedule.
It was a group that included an absolute expert who occupied the first place in the Ten Heavenly Emperors.
Even the bandits did not block the way forward, let alone the Wulin forces aiming for the treasures obtained from the artificial ruins.
Everyone in the group, including , enjoyed a comfortable trip.
Just like that, 15 days passed.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Finally, I returned to Sacheon.
After saying goodbye to Dang Sang-jin and Dang Seo-yeon, I headed to the Sacheon branch with my group.
I don’t know how they found out, but the group of followers was gathered in a huddle at the entrance of the branch.
Hong Seong-hyeon, a thief from Hyeonsa-mun, who was standing in front, spoke with moderation.
“Welco, branch manager.”
“Why is everyone here like this? “It’s cold too.”
“The branch leader has done a big job, so shouldn’t I co out to et him as a subordinate?”
“I don’t like excessive examples. “Don’t do this again.”
“All right.”
“Let’s go in first.”
* * *
A private office exclusively for the branch manager.
As I sat down with my butt pressed against the leather chair, Hong Seong-hyeon spoke to with a very flushed expression.
“I have heard so much about the branch leader’s activities.”
“We’ll talk about that later, in private.”
“……yes.”
Hong Seong-hyeon’s expression beca sullen, perhaps because he cut off his words coldly.
I said regretfully, holding out my hand to him as if I had lost my appetite again.
“First, let report on what happened so far.”
Seonghyun Hong placed a thin report on my hand.
After reading through the contents of the report, I nodded with a satisfied expression.
“It’s okay. “You must have been shocked to suddenly be given the job of acting branch manager, but you did a great job.”
“Fortunately, the. “I was worried that there might have been a mistake, but hearing you say that puts my mind at ease.”
“Thank you for your continued support.”
“yes?”
“From now on, I will often go on business trips to other places. “I hope Hong Soo-hyup will supervise the affairs of the branch on my behalf at that ti.”
“Okay… “Yes.”
Hong Seong-hyeon nodded with a nervous expression.
I put the report down on the table and gave a congratulatory order.
Hong Seong-hyun, who had been hesitant as if he wanted to say sothing, sighed and left the office.
I leaned against the back of the chair and was lost in thought.
‘A lot has happened while I was away.’
The Sacheon branch had completely regained its function.
No, the expression “recovered” was misleading.
It was finally able to function as a proper branch of the alliance.
I was worried that problems might arise within the branch while I was away, but it turned out to be unfounded.
Hong Seong-hyun was a much more capable talent than I thought.
The people around were all incredibly talented, so it turned out that he was also a talented person who advanced to the finals of a non-marriage competition.
Not only was he excellent at martial arts, but he also possessed various talents as a representative disciple of Hyeonsamun.
‘It wouldn’t have been as easy as it sounds to take control of the Sacheon branch without .’
The Sacheon branch could not be said to be a good place to work even with empty words.
The number of mbers was small and the atmosphere was chaotic as it had not been long since a large-scale purge had been carried out.
All of the previously working mbers had problems, and the remaining mbers were all new mbers like Hong Seong-hyeon.
‘It ans that we achieved this level of results in such an environnt.’
I thought that I should at least give an official award soon.
I stretched and got up from my seat.
Most of the backlogged work has been taken care of, so I thought it would be okay to gradually lift the ban on external activities.
‘by the way… … .’
The words written at the end of the report caught my attention.
It was written that letters sent from two different places were kept in the Jeonseosil (傳書室).
Since the letter was delivered personally to the branch manager, not the Sacheon branch, it seed that the contents had not yet been confird.
The place of origin was Namgung Sega and Hwayang Sangdan.
Not long ago, two groups I had helped build bridges with sent letters at the sa ti.
I felt a sense of anticipation.
How did the negotiations between the two powers proceed?
I imdiately left the office and headed to the war record room.
Crash.
The library room was located on the top floor of the main building.
The cries of the Jeonseogu (傳書鳩) raised at the branch pierced my ears.
When I opened the door of the warehouse located in the inner room, letters stored by type ca into view.
I took out the two letters stored at the top of the pile, tore open the envelopes, and looked at the contents.
‘It seems like it worked out well.’
A smile was suddenly drawn on my face.
The thank you note at the beginning of the two letters, as if it were a promise, caught my eye.
The letter sent from the Namgung family stated that they would like to invite to the 80th birthday party of the Taesang family to be held soon, and the letter sent from Hwayang Sangdan stated that they would soon announce Hwadaerang’s complete recovery.
‘…He committed suicide?’
The words written at the end of the letter sent from Hwayang Sangdan caught my attention.
It seed that the ganja that Lord Ma had planted on the upper deck 15 days ago was suddenly found dead.
