“But what about the Seven Princes? They should be together by now… … .”

The adjutant opened his mouth carefully so as not to offend Myo Chae-kyung. What she was saying now was nonsense, both in terms of timing and common sense.

one.

“What does it matter? If Jang-seo kills that guy first, that’s all that matters. Who would listen to the words of the Seven Princes if they claim innocence when they’re already dead? Hohohoho!”

Myo Chae-kyung laughing like a devil.

It was only then that the adjutant realized it again.

What kind of person is Myo Chae-kyung?

That she’s a crazy woman who disrupts situations, makes up answers to suit her tastes, and doesn’t care if someone later objects because it’s less shocking.

“I will go to Mengjia myself. I will go and deliver the bad news. How angry the Three Elders would be if they knew that their children were kidnapped because of a mere assistant. Hohohoho!”

Myo Chae-kyung turns around with a sinister smile.

The place she is heading to is the main mountain.

It is also where the third elder, Maeng Cheol-yong, stays.

‘Jang I-seo… … You will be buried in the sea with the Iron Horse. I will make it so.’

It was the moment when a conspiracy like a poisonous mushroom slowly began to bloom.

* * *

A long time had passed since Jang Yi-seo left Cheon-san and ran east.

They stopped at villages in between to change horses, fill up water jugs, and leave a couple of times.

Suddenly, the sparkling Milky Way brightens the night in the wilderness.

The party took up position on a hill where reconnaissance was easy.

The heat of the day disappeared behind the moon, and the air became cool.

It is a harsh environment unique to the North where extreme cold and heat coexist within a single day.

And their atmosphere was just as cold.

“Sleeping with the enemy? I’m so scared I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep properly.”

Mao’s discomfort is clearly revealed. It’s only natural.

It’s shocking that Maeng-Hwi was kidnapped, but to think that he’s with the criminal.

Moreover, the opponent is a traitor who even sold his unmarried wife.

There was a huge uproar when the village found out about it in the middle.

But what can we do?

What’s disappointing is this.

“If you don’t like it, then you can each go your separate ways.”

A man with a sharp face snorted. He was the head of the Iron Horse Bandit Corps.

“Hey. I told you to speak in Korean!”

“This is us, you idiot.”

“What, Inma? You just cursed at me. Come at me.”

“I won’t refuse a fight that comes my way. Come on, little one.”

They must have been tired after riding horses for a long time. They both have amazing stamina.

“Hey, Assistant Jang. Stop them. I have a stomachache. I couldn’t sleep today. Shuri.”

I didn’t ask. I don’t want to know. When Jang Yi-seo frowns, So-oh leaves the place with an awkward greeting.

Why is he wearing sunglasses even at this hour of the night?

anyway.

“stop.”

Jang Seo-ga split the two men, whose foreheads were pressed together in a friendly manner, left and right.

“If you don’t want to be food, finish your work and then fight.”

Ooooooooooooo!

As soon as he finished speaking, a wolf’s howl was heard from afar. In the sky, eagles were circling around, waiting for an opportunity.

“joy.”

“Tch.”

Mao and Gwa Ping turned to each other as if they were two people in a state of shock.

“Jang-seo. I’m against this. How can we trust that kid and follow him? What if he takes us to their den like he said?”

What can I do? It’s a good thing.

“We have to go to that den. Then we can go and find it.”

“Was that it?!”

Then what did you know? As Jang Il-seo shook his head, Gwa-pyeong, standing next to him, chuckled.

“I understand your situation. To live with such a reckless young master. Why don’t you come over to our side instead? From what I saw earlier, it didn’t seem like you were being treated particularly well.”

That’s true, but instead of the devil, I’d rather have a bandit.

Jang Yi-seo took a shallow breath and said.

“Are we going in the right direction?”

“You seem suspicious, so I guess you’re a born demon. Oh, do you hate the word ‘demon’? Anyway, don’t worry. Unlike you, we’ll definitely pay the price for saving your life.”

Well then, that’s good.

“If you’re not going to stand guard all night, then sit down.”

Jang Yi-seo sits down first. Then he lights a fire on the branches he has gathered with a Samadhi technique!

“I’ve heard of it, but it’s really strange. You can make fireworks with your hands.”

Then, Gwa-pyeong pretended to give in as if he found it strange and sat down. Mao also pretended not to be able to win and stuck out his lips and sat down.

“Anyone can do it if they study hard enough.”

“Then can I learn it too?”

In response to Gwapyeong’s question, Jang Yi-seo looked at him closely and nodded.

Even though it is crude because it is from the West, it seems like it has accumulated internal energy.

It will be possible if you just trim it well.

“maybe.”

“oh…….”

Gwapyeong showed deep interest and took a water jug ​​made of camel skin from his waist and handed it to me.

“Drink. The nights in the wilderness are cold. It will help you endure the cold.”

The incense that he had received by chance was stared at blankly and then smelled. A strong, sour scent rose up along with the incense.

“Is it alcohol?”

“It’s a drink made from mare’s milk. If you drink too much, you’ll get a stomachache, so don’t complain that it’s poisonous and just drink a little.”

Gwapyeong smiled and gestured for me to eat it.

To be honest, I have no problem staying up all night without eating. Back when I was first-class, it was difficult to defend against Hanseo, but now I am at the beginning of my peak. This much is bearable.

Mao, full of yang energy, took off his top a long time ago, saying it was hot.

“Why? I wonder if it’s poisoned… … .”

Gulp, gulp.

Jang Yi-seo took two gulps without hesitation before Gwa-pyeong could finish speaking.

“Ugh… … .”

It’s not that the alcohol was strong, but it was so strong that it made me frown.

Gwapyeong, who saw this, opened his mouth in surprise.

“You accept it without a second thought. What if it’s poisoned?”

“Weren’t you going to say you didn’t ride it?”

“Are you as innocent as you look? How can you believe what I say?”

“If you were going to do something, you would have done it a long time ago. You would have had many opportunities to escape on your way here.”

“… … Hey, aren’t you taking the world too lightly? The bandits of the wilderness are ruthless.”

It’s a boast. Jang I-seo smiles brightly.

Of course, it wasn’t blind faith. Jang’s life and career were not easy for that to happen.

A wet hole showing signs of having been eaten, a half-empty, undiscolored leather water bottle.

It was the result of everything being combined.

and.

“It is certain that the price for saving one’s life will be paid.”

“Well, that, that’s true. Ahem!”

Gwapyeong’s face turns red.

It is a basic principle for a spy to build empathy with the other person and increase intimacy.

I was a little touched that you trusted me.

‘Seeing him get over it so easily, I don’t think he’s a bad guy by nature… … .’

Jang Yi-seo tilted his head. He didn’t seem like a villain, considering his past actions and the label of a bandit.

But why did they do such things?

“It’s an overstatement.”

When Jang Yi-seo breaks out of his thoughts and turns his head, he smiles and greets him.

It’s a name I’ve already heard.

But it had a different meaning than before.

If the previous fight meant knowing the name of the person you want to kill, now it’s a declaration of reconciliation.

Gwapyeong immediately offered Mao a drink. As expected, it meant they should reconcile.

“If anything happens to you little brat, I won’t let it go.”

“Hehe, don’t worry. Nothing will happen yet.”

“Tch. Maoda.”

Mao then turned his head and greeted him. At that moment, someone suddenly appeared from the darkness and opened his mouth.

“I’m Soo. As you know, I’m the owner of Bulmun Gakjan. Our iron horse customer, I’m sorry about what I said earlier. So please keep the snitching a secret. Haha!”

He came back after finishing his work and sat down in the empty seat. Gwa-pyeong frowned and looked at him.

“Huh, you little rat that was thrown away by God!”

“I guess rats are okay. How about crows?”

“What? Do you know what we’re talking about?”

“I am such a multi-faceted talent.”

“Fuck.”

“Hey! Speak in Korean, you guys!”

“This is our language!”

“What, you little punk? You cursed at me again. Come at me.”

What kind of a story-driven fight is this?

Jang-i opened his mouth softly as if mediating.

“It’s Jang Seo-da.”

Then, as if they had synchronized, the three of them suddenly became quiet.

It wasn’t intentional.

but.

‘Tch.’

‘Hey, what fun thing are you planning this time?’

‘Anyway, I owe that guy my life.’

Even though everyone’s reasons are different, I admit that much.

Jang Seo was the one who stood tall among them, knowingly or unknowingly.

Anyway, the cold atmosphere became much better after the announcement was made.

And the conversation was led by Jang Yi-seo.

“How much do you know about our school?”

An intimidating question from the start.

Anyway, the die has been cast, and now it’s time to get involved with the Iron Horse.

So, we have no choice but to find out through conversation as much as possible.

“Why are you even dividing the hierarchy? If you want to act like a superior, then get out of here. I have no intention of bowing down to you.”

But things don’t go smoothly from the start. Gwapyeong’s tone of voice is getting irritated, and he is showing his guard as if he never felt better.

However, this was what Jang Seo had led.

“I’m just curious. Who you are. Why you did this. You don’t seem like the kind of person who would do something like that for no reason.”

An exquisite way of expressing one’s emotions in a way that makes them seem awkward.

“That, that’s… … Ahem. Well, that’s true.”

Gwapyeong let out a cough in vain and quickly opened his mouth to try to soothe his embarrassment.

“But even if I tell you, you won’t know. In your eyes, we’ll just be crawling bugs. Bugs that get trampled to death without you even knowing it.”

There was a subtle resentment in Gwapyeong’s voice. However, it was not directed at them in this place.

It was close to hatred towards the organization called the Demonic Cult, which was the ruler of the North.

“I guess you’ve been through a lot.”

“Are there any people in the North who haven’t been defeated by you? They all bow down because they have no strength, not because they like it.”

“So you scattered the seeds of misfortune on our school and kidnapped people? Because you felt wronged by that?”

“that……!”

Gwapyeong shook his head as if he didn’t want to answer any more. Jang Yiseo nodded as if he understood.

“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. But just as you said, our school has power. It’s enough to kill someone even if you step on it without knowing. But what do you think will happen if you decide to go after it?”

“Are you… threatening me right now?”

“I’m telling the truth. The boy you took away is someone you shouldn’t mess with.”

“What, are you the cult leader’s son? Hehe.”

“okay.”

“What, what did you say?!”

The Xiongnu’s words came out, showing how embarrassed Gwapyeong was.

“His name is Maeng-Hwi. He is the sixth son of the cult leader.”

Crazy… … . I can’t even speak anymore. My mouth just gaped like a carp.

‘Wait a minute. That little brat just now clearly called me a brat… … Then?!’

Soon he was startled and pointed at Mao.

“Surely not him too?!”

After asking Gwapyeong, he immediately looked at Jang Yiseo. However, his eyes were as calm as a lake, and his mouth was closed like a rock.

then…….

“I guess I’ll go back!”

I made a big deal out of it.
