#Desert of Death (1)

Myo Chae-kyung said with a poisonous smile.

“Originally, this kind of thing should be completed without anyone knowing. But… … If the Third Elder found out that his nephew had harmed his own child, would he really stay silent?”

Maeng Won-won’s face turned pale as if he was dizzy.

There’s no way I could stay still… … Of course not.

however.

He raised his eyes towards the proud Myo Chae-kyung and asked.

“… … Do you have any evidence?”

“what……?”

“There is no evidence that I said that to Maeng-Hwi.”

Myo Chae-kyung’s face suddenly turned blank. Then, she slowly raised the corners of her mouth and soon burst into laughter.

“Hohohoho!”

“Why are you laughing?”

“That’s right, Princess Oh! That’s how it’s completed. Yes, that’s right. There’s no evidence. Of course there shouldn’t be.”

Myo Chae-kyung came over and grabbed Maeng Won-won’s hand tightly.

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

I glared at her in disbelief, but Myo Chae-kyung was still smiling brightly.

It was natural. For once, I had a similar opinion with the person in charge of Meng.

“In that sense… … I would like to make a suggestion.”

“proposal?”

“It’s nothing. Just say one word in front of the three elders.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s all because of Jang Seo. It’s because of him.”

Maeng Won-won’s eyes widened.

So some kind of deal was made between the two.

Maeng Won-won turned around, leaving Maeng Cheol-yong, who had lost his mind, behind.

Then he spoke softly.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“Oh, already?”

The one who was more embarrassed by this was Myo Chae-kyung. Where are you going after just saying that? If you’re going to do that, you should properly bring down Jang Il-seo.

However, Maeng Won-won had different thoughts.

‘Master. It would be great if Jang Yi-seo disappears as you planned, but… … Well. Will it be that easy? Jang Yi-seo, he’s not an easy person.’

Moreover.

‘I told you to just say one word.’

Maeng Won-won is also clever.

She smiles and turns around.

Of course, Myo Chae-kyung, who didn’t know about this situation, laughed inwardly.

‘They say she was so wicked that she was called the madwoman of Cheong-an. Now that I look at her, isn’t she just a total smart-aleck? I planned something and now she’s scared like that. This is where Meng-ga’s reputation ends.’

It’s a dream come true. But does Myo Chae-kyung know?

The current Jang Seo is not the person he knew in the past.

“What the heck… … why!”

As soon as Maeng Won-won disappeared, Maeng Cheol-yong shouted and blew away the Taesa itself with one punch.

Why on earth is my son, who is supposed to be the master of all people, so obsessed with Chilsogung?

It really makes me think a lot.

However, that was Myo Chae-kyung’s favorite moment. It was the best time to manipulate the other person’s mind at will.

“Why? Jang Yi-seo deceived the Sixth Prince. What a wicked man he is. I am ashamed to say this, but… … .”

Myo Chae-kyung blushed and lowered her head. Maeng Cheol-yong’s eyes narrowed at this. This was the first time he had seen her, who had always been arrogant, show herself like this.

“Not long ago, in the suburbs, they harmed our best warriors of the Biryong Party and disappeared along with the leaders of the Iron Horse Bandits… … and they did so right in front of me.”

“Then because of that!”

Understanding finally dawned on Maeng Cheol-yong.

Myo Chae-kyung also came to think that he had come to her without reporting it separately in order to hide his own mistake.

‘If you knew you weren’t the only one, you’d stop being so angry and just do as I say. Shouldn’t we go and catch him?’

A clever lie mixed with truth.

The time when Maeng Hui disappeared and the time he stayed at Chilsogung. And the background of Jang Yiseo’s disappearance with Gwapyeong. All of that was hidden, but it probably didn’t matter much to Maeng Cheol-yong’s ears right now.

Only one.

“But the good news is that I know where they’re headed. The Dead Sea. The desert of the South. That’s where the Six Dukes, the Iron Horse, and Jang Yi-seo will be staying.”

“The Four Seas… … .”

“The sandstorm is so severe that most people won’t be able to enter… But if it’s Mengjia’s Mengjiaguima-dae (孟鉀鬼馬隊) that even managed to break through the heavy snowfall in the north, wouldn’t that be a different story? What do you think? There’s still time to fix things. Will you… come with me?”

The number of Myo Chae-gyeong was thrown. The eyes of the three elders wavered. One was immediately set up again.

Anyway, there is only one answer.

“I will go myself.”

Okay. The corners of Biryongdangju Myo Chae-kyung’s mouth went up coldly.

With this, all preparations are complete.

Now that I have the Samjangro and the Mengapguimadae on my back, I can go anywhere without any problems, even to the Four Seas.

Both Cheolmajeok and Jang Seo will meet a miserable end. And the credit for that will be… … .

It will all become the share of Biryongdang.

‘Jang-seo, don’t blame me too much. It was your sin to show up there.’

Hohohoho! An inaudible devilish laughter echoed within her.

– Tarim Basin, Tian Shan Nan Road.

Meanwhile, Jang Yi-seo and his party entered the Tarim Basin where the Dead Sea is, unaware that a dark shadow was slowly approaching.

It took two and a half days.

Considering that it usually takes more than three days, you can see how nonstop the running was.

The moment we entered the desert, our marching speed became noticeably slower. This was because the heat became even more intense on the sand heated by the scorching sun.

Thanks to this, they wore clothes similar to those of the Western upper class, with cloth wrapped around their heads and mouths, and only a light, well-ventilated white robe on their bodies.

Of course, it was still hot.

Even though a master of the highest level would be able to ignore most temperatures, even if it wasn’t as invincible as cold or heat, Jang Yi-seo and So-oh’s foreheads were covered in sweat.

Even the thoroughly trained Iron Horse enemy held his breath as much as possible to protect his stamina from being gradually reduced.

Just walking itself is an ordeal.

Just one person.

“Haaam, the weather is nice.”

Except for Mao Man, who is full of yang energy and is a heavenly and yang-like body.

“Are all the cult leader’s children like this? They’re really amazing… … .”

Gwapyeong, who did not know the inside, reevaluated Mao with his mouth wide open.

As the heat naturally slowed down, the taciturn group began to talk a little. Mao was the one who started it all.

“But I’ve been wondering this for a while now. Why do baby camels keep dying? Where did their mothers go? Please watch over them.”

As he said, when we entered the desert, we often saw dead baby camels. It was a strange sight to anyone who saw it.

“You’re curious about everything.”

Gwapyeong responded with a laugh. However, his eyes were not very good. He felt bitter.

“What is it? What is it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Tell me. What is it?”

Mao, who had sensed something, asked again in annoyance, and the answer came from Zhang Yishu, who had been walking silently.

“That’s a funeral.”

“Business? Burying dead people?”

“Yes. Since nomads change their territory frequently, it is difficult for them to remember where they buried their bodies. That is to remember the location. If you take the mother and her child together and kill the child, the mother will remember the location and go back the next year, and the year after that.”

“Is that so?!”

Mao was shocked. It was just a question, but he never thought there would be such a story behind it. So the place where the corpses were just now… … a grave?!

Gwapyeong asked Zhang Yishu, leaving Mao behind in surprise.

“I’ve felt this way before, but you know a lot about this place. You even know about the Four Seas.”

“My original job was to go around catching people.”

“But it wouldn’t have been easy for you to learn the language of our Huns. Who did you learn it from?”

A sharp question. Soo-oh tilted his head as if he was wondering.

In fact, the language of the Xiongnu is now a dead language that almost no one uses.

Because it was an ancient language written in oracle bone script, it was often learned in the dark world.

An informant, a cleaner, an assassin, or a spy.

Well, that’s the case.

‘Jang Yi Seo. Which side are you on?’

Soo-oh’s eyes light up. At first, I never thought that Jang I-seo was just an ordinary counterintelligence agent.

But.

“Even the innkeeper knows, so what’s the big deal?”

Jang-i laughed and asked So-o instead.

“Hey, Assistant Jang. I have a different position!”

“What are you talking about?”

“As a person who meets diverse people from all walks of life… … .”

“For a businessman, you seem to have quite a bit of field knowledge. It’s like you’ve secretly gone out to the suburbs.”

“There are exceptions everywhere. Yes, that’s right. The Huns are easy if you know how to use them.”

What are you talking about? Gwapyeong frowned and turned his head.

Jang Yi-seo and So-oh glared at each other intently, unknowingly engaging in a show of force.

And then Mao, who had gathered his thoughts, returned to the starting point and opened his mouth.

“But do you really have to wander around like this? Why don’t you just settle down and live there?”

Settle down? Phew! Gwapyeong burst into laughter and shouted.

“As expected of a young master, he is talking nonsense. Look. Is there any grass for the livestock to graze on here? Only the few strong who have won the war can settle in this barren land. The weak will die if they don’t leave. Life is a battlefield.”

“Then let’s fight. You guys are strong, right?”

“I’m strong. But how can I fight you with less than a hundred people?”

You? Who? Us?

“Why is my school here?”

“Then who are you fighting against? Aren’t you the rulers of this land? Even the clan that won the war has to pay you public funds. If not for that, we can somehow survive. What if we hold out for one and become unpopular? It’s common for us to be reduced to ashes by your hands.”

“Surely not like that… … .”

“Hehe, you didn’t even know that? You said he was the leader’s son, but he really is a reckless young master.”

Mao opened his mouth wide and looked for Zhang Yishu. Is this true? Zhang Yishu nodded.

To be honest, there are some parts that are a bit beautified. The Demonic Cult doesn’t just kill their opponents if they find them unpleasant. They just get rid of them when the time comes.

If one clan reigns for too long, they will eventually try to overtake the Demonic Cult’s stronghold.

So at the right time, the clan itself was eliminated. It is a cycle of extinction.

“I didn’t know… … .”

Mao muttered as if he was greatly shocked. He really didn’t know. How much could he, a mere illegitimate child, know about the outside world?

No, to be more honest, I didn’t think there was any reason to know. It just wasn’t something that was right in front of me, so I didn’t care.

“Whether you knew or not, it doesn’t matter. The fact that you guys are part of the Demonic Cult doesn’t change.”

Huh! Gwapyeong frowned and turned his head away. It wasn’t just because he felt wronged by what he had been through. On the contrary, it was the opposite.

‘This guy, that guy. Why are those devils making such conscientious expressions and acting like such idiots?’

It really bothers me that the Demonic Cult doesn’t act like a Demonic Cult.

Gwapyeong, who had been ignoring them and moving forward, finally stopped in anger. Then he shouted at them fiercely.

“What we did to you was a sin? No way. You deserved it. We just wanted to live. No more wandering, no more selling off our children. Smiling and greeting each other. A simple life like that. If it weren’t for you… … . Damn it.”

Mao’s eyes were wide with shock.
