Episode 55

It was an offer that there was no reason to refuse.

‘If we move together, we can mostly avoid annoying things.’

The woman in front of me is a talented person dispatched by Zhuge Dynasty who accepted the military’s request for support.

No bandit or bandit would be able to lay a hand on her.

However, there was one thing she was mistaken about.

Her destination and ours were not the same.

“Thank you for your kindness, but our destination is Hangzhou. “I have no intention of joining the government army.”

“Oh, is that so?”

The cotton woman tilted her head as if she was surprised.

My guess is that she thought of us as immature, late-stage expats volunteering for the battlefield for fame.

“What’s happening in Hangzhou....”

“I’m on my way to meet an acquaintance.”

“Do you really mean at this time?”

“Because it is this time, I have something to say.”

“......?”

The cotton woman looked at my face in silence for a while.

I couldn’t see her face because it was covered with cotton, but I could roughly imagine what kind of expression she was making.

‘I’m going to see all kinds of strange people. That’s probably what you’re thinking.’

At that time, Dojang Cheonwoo, who had finished eating, put down his cleanly emptied bowl on the floor and greeted the woman from the silk thread.

“Infinite Buddha. Come to think of it, I haven’t even introduced myself until now. My name is Hwang Sang-un, and I am a disciple of the Hwasan Sect. “My name is Cheonwoo.”

I looked back at him with a slightly surprised expression.

His name was Hwang Sang-woon.

I knew this for the first time.

“A former disciple of the Volcano Sect...?”

Embarrassment was evident in the cotton woman’s voice.

It seemed as if he had never thought that the scruffy man who worked as a coachman could be a master of the Hwasan Sect and also one of his disciples.

“This is Tang Seoyeon of the Tang family.”

“This is Cheon Ga-ryeong.”

The woman in cotton took a breath as the two women briefly introduced themselves.

She asked, fixing her gaze on Tang Seo-yeon.

“Aren’t you the daughter of the head of the Tang family?”

“Do you know anything about me?”

“How could you not know?”

It seemed that the woman in the cotton shop knew something about Tang Seoyeon.

It wasn’t particularly strange since they were members of the same five generations.

The cotton woman looked back at me.

I opened my mouth as I threw dry twigs into the bonfire.

“This is Yeon-yoon, the contemporary successor to Tianlei-men.”

“Tennis Gate?”

“You wouldn’t know. “It is a one-man tradition and has never been active as a strongman.”

“...This is Zhuge Hye of the Zhuge family. “For some reason, I cannot reveal my identity, so please understand.”

“it’s okay. “I had an idea to some extent when I saw that you were wearing cotton thread.”

Jegalhye.

It was a name I had never heard of in my previous life.

I glanced sideways in the direction where Cheon Ga-ryeong was.

At the same time, Cheon Ji-ryeong looked over and nodded slightly.

Now that we know her name, it will be easier for Hao Wen to investigate the woman from Miansha.

We will soon be able to hear detailed personal information about the woman from Myeonsa through Cheon Ga-ryeong.

“It’s a pity that the destination is different. Then, how about we accompany you at least to Hangzhou?”

“We have no reason to refuse.”

“Then please take care of me for a while.”

“But why are you showing such kindness to us, who we just met for the first time today?”

“Do you need a reason to help someone in trouble?”

[Take this.]

[What is this?]

[It is a sign indicating that the holder is an important guest of the upper level. If you show this, you will be able to easily conduct business with the branches of Hwayang Sangdan located in various places.]

The power of the jewel given to him by the head of Hwayang Sangdan before leaving Sacheon was incredible.

Not only did the gatekeepers, who had been overbearing, suddenly show a polite attitude, but they were also able to come face to face with the owner of the Hwayang Sangdan, which normally would have required complex procedures to meet.

‘Anyway, I heard that Hwayang Sangdan has been growing rapidly recently...’

I exclaimed in exclamation as I looked at the precious decorations placed throughout the reception room.

Hwayang Trading Company, which succeeded in concluding a contract to transport goods with the government and military, was growing in power at a rapid pace.

I heard that the size of the headquarters has grown incomparably larger than before.

It took more than an hour just to get from the entrance to the reception hall, so what more can I say?

‘I will be among the top teenagers in the not-too-distant future.’

Because he was aware of this, he created a bond of continuous exchange with Hwayang Sangdanju.

Now is the time to actively use that string.

“It’s been a while.”

Approximately two minutes passed, Hwayang Sangdanju appeared in the drawing room.

It looked slightly different from before.

I gained a little more weight and my clothes became more flashy.

“Long time no see. Lord of the top.”

I stood up and politely bowed.

The owner of the top waved his hand to dissuade me and offered me a seat.

“How have you been?”

“yes. “Thanks to the owner of the top, I have been able to live with a bit of oil in my mouth.”

“Speaking of which, I would like to ask you a question. “How on earth did you not know?”

“What do you mean?”

“The value of spices will skyrocket.”

“I was just lucky.”

“If you’re going to lie, how about being sincere?”

“Before, when Soje Cheon asked the same thing, I came up with a plausible lie. “In fact, I know how to read heavenly energy.”

“So what?”

“I was truly fooled.”

“ha ha ha!”

The owner of the top smiled brightly, took the kettle and cup from the center of the table, and poured tea.

He asked with a soft smile on his lips.

“So, why did you come all the way here and ask to see me?”

“First of all, I wanted to see it with my own eyes. Has your son’s condition improved and is the sale of spices going smoothly? And was the ganja planted by the Demonic Cult properly identified?”

“If it were my son, he would have completely overcome Simma. Currently, I am focusing on practicing the Honghwa Divine Technique that you corrected. Although it is known to the outside world that he is still ill. “

“Yes? “What does that mean?”

“The fact that my son literally woke up from his hospital bed has not yet been made public. Didn’t you say that? “The person who put my son in a demon is the Demon Cult leader.”

“I did.”

“I thought it would be better to keep it hidden rather than reveal it. “It would be safer that way for a while, and more than anything, if you were harmed, wouldn’t you have to pay back?”

“What you’re saying is...”

“If the Demonic Cult tries to contact you by offering to treat Simma, I will let you know right away.”

I looked at Hwayang Sangdanju with a slightly surprised expression.

Once again, the middle-aged man with the goatee in front of me looked different.

I never thought he would have a plan like this.

Should we really say that he is the leader of the caravan group?

[Didn’t the demons attack you on the way?]

[Yes. They say it was an easy journey other than a few encounters with bandits.]

A conversation I had with Cheon Ga-ryeong in the past flashed through my mind.

Presumably, when he embarked on his journey to Sacheon two years ago, the owner of Hwayang Sangdan would not have revealed to those around him that he was going on a trip to treat his son.

‘Have you had a plan to fuck up the Demon Cult leader in mind since then?’

To think that far with only the uncertain information received through Hao Wen was not an ordinary thought.

“For your information, the identity of the ganja planted by the Demonic Cult has already been determined. I haven’t kicked them out yet, I just put a watcher on them. “I don’t want the demonic cults to notice.”

If what the Hwayang merchant leader said was true, there was a high possibility that the religious leader would not have felt anything unusual yet.

‘Wait. Then wouldn’t it be a problem to contact other victims who fell into a state of deep evil due to the martial law written by the religious leader?’
