Episode 159: A Good Day (2)
After hearing the story from the granddaughter, it seed like it was Eun Hwa-rin from the Black Night Room.
As the branch manager in charge of the southern region of Hanam, he was the most intelligent person in the organization.
What reason could she have for coming here?
There would be no way to leisurely co and watch a local spear competition. It seed like he had so business to do.
“hmm. “You said they were looking for us here?”
“huh. “I ca running after hearing that my grandfather was competing, but I was a little late.”
It was a good thing. Even if that wasn’t the case, I had an urgent request to make to Heukyabang.
“But why don’t you co with ?”
“I want you to stop by the station after you finish eating. “They say they’ll wait there.”
Yeokcham (驛站) is a place where you change horses.
There are lodging facilities and stables installed so that people on the move can take a break.
“okay. “It’s not far from here, so let’s fill our bellies first and then go.”
“huh!”
Yu Seol was so anxious to answer that he started moving his chopsticks.
Even though it had been a long ti since I had eaten a lot, I couldn’t help but wonder.
“Why are you eating so quickly? “I heard there’s so treasure at the train station.”
The granddaughter, whose face was puffy from the food in her mouth, moved her small lips.
“Like this.”
“There is? what?”
Yoo Seol swallowed her food and answered with a bright expression.
“Hyunhee is here too.”
She was the wife of Pungho, the owner of Heukyabang.
She had been very fond of her granddaughter for a long ti. He ca to my residence every day to teach martial arts skills.
It seems that the place she chose to raise her child, who had not long given birth, was around here.
It would have been a hundred tis better than the gloomy, dirty gunfire in the basent.
“You want to hurry up and see the baby?”
The granddaughter, who found out what was going on, laughed bitterly.
Dong-gu, who was watching silently, continued to place at on Yu-seol’s bowl.
“Eat slowly. “The train station is close to here, so you’ll be able to get there quickly.”
“I’ll eat well~”
There was no shortage of laughter at the leisurely al.
The three of them ca out of the guesthouse after eating their fill and stood face to face to say goodbye.
Dong-gu’s arm was filled with a colorful new bracelet.
“Thank you, Seol-ah. “I will cherish the gift you gave for the rest of my life.”
Jinsan Yu, who was watching, joined the conversation with a happy face.
“It is a gift from the Supre Lord of Sapa, so keep it as an heirloom.”
“Yes, of course you should. “Is there writing engraved here?”
On the inside of the bracelet, a small inscription was engraved: ‘Dong-gu and Seol-i’s friendship bracelet.’
It was a childish phrase for an adult to wear, but Dong-gu seed to really like it.
“okay. “Your father will be waiting for you, so go back quickly.”
Dong-gu hesitated as if he felt regretful.
“We can et again, right?”
“No matter how wide the river is, we will see it again soday.”
“…yes. “Then stay healthy until we see you again, sir.”
“What about health? Don’t worry, I’ll live longer than you. “Don’t neglect your training.”
Dong-gu bowed his head and patted Yu-seol’s head again.
“You must take care of yourself until we see each other again.”
“yes! “See you again, mister~”
And so the three ended their farewells.
Even as Dong-gu walked away, he glanced back and waved.
Yu Jin-san also raised one hand and muttered softly.
“I have t many martial artists in my life, but I have never seen such a simple person. “There shouldn’t be any trouble.”
His eyes, looking at Dong-gu’s back, showed genuine concern.
“Why? Uncle Dong-gu has a kind heart. “There will be no one who dislikes it.”
“Tsk! That’s why I’m worried. “To survive in a tough world, you have to be sowhat cunning.”
At that ti, Yoo Seol opened his eyes wide and asked.
“Then what about !?”
Yu Jin-san looked at his granddaughter’s face for a mont and shook his head excitedly.
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s get going.”
When we arrived at the station, Eunhwarin was waiting in front of the small pavilion.
Her guard, who discovered them first, bowed his head.
“I see you often.”
Eunhwarin, who had finally found Joson, put her hands together with a bright face.
“Congratulations, old man. “I wanted to go and cheer in person, but it was too late.”
“This was an embarrassing rumor all over the neighborhood. “But that child is here too?”
Eunhwarin also knew who the child was referring to. The information that Hyunhee was here was given to him by himself.
“yes. “He happened to be staying nearby, and his granddaughter ca a month later saying she wanted to see him.”
Judging from the fact that there was a carriage tied up in front of the shrine, it seed like they had co riding it.
At that ti, the door inside the palace opened and soone appeared.
The woman holding the child with her left breast was clearly Hyunhee.
Yu Seol ran up to her and hugged her waist.
“sister!!”
“Seol, how are you? “I really missed you!”
“Yes, too.”
The two hugged each other as if it was a family reunion and went crazy.
“Do you want to hold the baby for a mont?”
“huh! What is your na?”
“I nad it Yeop. “Seeing your smile, I guess you like your sister.”
Yoo Seol smiled broadly as she held her child for the first ti in her life.
“Hello, Pungyeop. “My sister is called Seol.”
“Karruk!”
As the child laughed so loudly, Yuseol didn’t know what to do and fell asleep.
“It’s cute~ It’s cute~”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene silently, grinned and muttered.
“guy. “I sang that I wanted to hold a baby, and my wish finally ca true.”
At that ti, Eun Hwa-rin, who was next to , answered softly.
“I can’t believe it. “I can’t believe that my granddaughter with such a pure smile is being called a fearso evil by those in the political faction.”
“Aren’t rumors naturally exaggerated? Anyway, let’s talk separately.”
There was no room to intervene between Yoo Seol and Hyeonhee.
While the two were enjoying their reunion, he also planned to take care of his business.
“Yes, then I will take you inside.”
After exchanging eye contact with Hyeonhee, Jinsan followed Eunhwarin.
The two entered the hall and sat across from each other at the table.
“So, what kind of business did you have to find ?”
“Actually… I have a favor to ask you.”
Although I had a close relationship with Heukyabang, this was the first ti they had ever asked for help.
I couldn’t help but be curious about the inside story.
“That’s surprising. Anyway, it worked out. “Because I also have a favor to ask of you.”
Eunhwarin said with a smile on Yujinsan’s positive reaction.
“Then the elder speaks first.”
“I won’t refuse. “I caught soone who ca out with impure intentions at this spear competition. Do you know the details?”
Eunhwarin nodded imdiately.
“If you don’t know that much, you can’t say that the Black Night is an organization that handles information.”
“Then we can talk quickly. “Who do you think he is?”
“Judging by the fact that he was targeting the elderly, he must be a leader of the political faction.”
“and?”
“Wouldn’t it be obvious if his face wasn’t known even though he was such an expert? “He must have been sent by Changnyongdae.”
Because she was quick-witted, conversation was easy. There is no need to give detailed explanations.
“I think the sa thing. “Now he has been taken to a nearby governnt office.”
“I know very well. And what the old man wants.”
“The answer is refreshing. “Please keep talking.”
“There is no way the organization will leave him alone, so one way or another, he will be released soon. Don’t you want to track down those involved in the process? “By using our connections.”
A look of surprise appeared on Yu Jin-san’s face.
How can you pinpoint exactly what you want? The more I saw him, the more amazing he was.
Heukyabang, which had connections with officials in the Hanam region, was fully capable of doing so.
“I can’t believe a talented person like you is helping Pungho. “That guy is truly blessed.”
“I have received great grace from the Lord that I cannot express.”
“It seems like there was so story behind it. “Anyway, that’s all I want, so I’ll listen to what you have to say from now on.”
They even had their tattoos removed recently, so it would be even more difficult to track them down in the future.
We had to use everything we could before we went deeper into hiding.
“The problem started after the Geumyangsa incident occurred.”
The incident that took place at Geumyangsa Temple was regarded as a legend by Safa people.
It was a brilliant feat to annihilate the political faction leaders in the Shaanxi region who had gathered there.
To commorate that event, the Safa people gathered in Hohyeon and held a festival.
On the other hand, the Murim League was gritting its teeth to avenge the humiliation of that day.
“Revenge has already begun? “Hohyeon was quiet when I left.”
“Hohyeon will be no different now. “Now it has beco the strongest place among the sacred sites in Sapa.”
Hohyeon is guarded by apostate monks Jeonghye and Baekgyu and supported by the Heukmyo faction.
Although they were still non-combat personnel, the strength of the children who escaped from Amifa was not at a level that could be ignored.
Moreover, with so many masters still coming and going, it had beco a place that even the Murim Alliance could not easily touch.
That’s why Yujinsan was also expecting it.
Their revenge will not be directed at Hohyeon, but sowhere else.
“Are they ultimately venting their anger in Hanam?”
“yes. The Safa forces here are shaking. “Our damage was also considerable.”
“Tell in more detail.”
Jinsan Yu placed both hands on the table and clasped his hands together.
As I listened to her in silence, it was a sight to behold.
The story was that the leading figures of Sapa in the Hanam region were being assassinated one by one.
There was also an unfamiliar feeling sowhere.
This is because assassination was a thod considered shaful by political factions that preached cooperation and justice.
“The most recently attacked area was Baeksamun Gate. “I heard that the owner of the place was assassinated and the mber of the Changryong team who was interrogating him escaped.”
Baeksammun (White Snake Gate) of Sadoryun.
It was a sect that was entrusted with the interrogation of Changryong Daewon, who was captured at Geumyangsa Temple, and was skilled in various minor tricks and hypnotism.
Given the circumstances, there was no doubt about pleural effusion.
Now, it seed like they were determined to inflict a blow to Sapa while minimizing damage. The presence of a shadowy monster would be too burdenso to wage an all-out war.
“It’s a sha that I lost the guy I worked so hard to catch. “What is the damage from Heukyabang?”
“We also had three executives whose identities were exposed. The damage is continuing and there is no answer at all….”
Eun Hwa-rin trailed off as if she was frustrated.
There was no way Yu Jin-san didn’t know how she felt.
Most of the forces of Heukyabang are hired samurai warriors, and the number of masters is not large.
What can they do when even the renowned masters of the Sa Sect are suffering?
A hopeless situation must have continued.
Since the yin-yang twin monsters ca to Hanam at that ti, it was natural to ask for help.
“If things continue like this, not only you but that child in front of the door will be safe.”
It was a ti when Jinsan Yu was thinking for a mont.
Suddenly, the door to the palace burst open.
Yoo Seol suddenly appeared, standing in the gap in the door and blinking.
With a child like Tottori wrapped in a blanket on his back.
“Hyunhee is in danger?”
Whether they wanted it or not, their conversation was being relayed to Yu Seol’s ears.
Hyeon-gyeong’s superhuman hearing was such that he could hear the chirping of birds dozens of miles away.
Yu Jin-san made eye contact with his granddaughter for a mont and then nodded.
“They said so. “If we don’t catch him, we won’t be safe.”
“who is this.”
Is it because my granddaughter’s serious face was funny for a long ti?
Yu Jin-san, suddenly feeling playful, shrugged his shoulders and joked.
“I don’t even know how much it will cost. But what are you going to do?”
Suddenly, Yoo Seol’s big eyes beca watery.
“Yeop can’t lose his mother like I did….”
