#joint

Jang I-seo raised his eyebrows and nodded at Jo Yang-ak’s suggestion to join the group.

“It’s really out of the blue, but since we have a lot of alcohol left, let’s do that.”

“joy.”

When he showed his consent, Jo Yang-ak laughed and got down from the railing.

When he glanced over the railing, there was absolutely no sign of wetness on the wood. The fact that his soles didn’t get wet even after running across water showed how high his skill level was.

“It’s a market.”

“It’s Jo Yang-ak.”

There was no need for a long speech in the joint statement. If you don’t know each other, then you are not qualified to be an assistant.

Jo Yang-ak looked around with his snake-like eyes and asked.

“The person called the assistant left his lord behind and went on a boat ride… … This is not a common situation.”

I sat down, but my doubts were not completely dispelled. No matter how I looked at it, it was still strange. Going out on a boat alone in the middle of the night.

“There is someone who happened to invite me to this unusual place.”

Cho Yang-ak suddenly felt relieved. Well, if it was something strange, it would be strange to show up in the middle of the night and trespass.

In short, I asked and I got hit.

“It’s pretty good.”

Jo Yang-ak said with the corners of his lips raised.

“I saw the Chilsogung in action in Maga. I thought maybe they could help each other.”

“for example?”

“Don’t you know? The competition between those who stand behind is meaningless. If we are in agreement with each other, we can break down the biggest wall together.”

“You’re talking about the Archduke.”

Jo Yang-ak looked around in surprise. He didn’t expect that he would be so blatant as to call him the Archduke.

“You’re more generous than I thought.”

“Don’t worry. There’s no one here but us who can hear it.”

Jo Yang-ak also nodded at that point. He had already confirmed that there was no one on the ship.

“I just stopped by today to say hello. We need to know each other before we can discuss what’s next. I wanted to say hello at Maga, but there were a lot of eyes watching me back then. Well, I think that explains why I asked to join you secretly.”

“enough.”

I smiled and handed him my empty glass. He shook his head and raised his chin.

Before I receive it, it’s your turn to answer.

That’s why we go boating.

Then Jang-seo pointed to the forest in the distance with his eyes.

“Even without me, my lord the Seven Princes is safe and sound beyond the bamboo forest. There is a dragon living there.”

“dragon?”

Jo Yang-ak asked back, but an image of a person already appeared in his head.

A monster rookie who defeated six of the Magachilgaeks single-handedly.

The dragon of the battlefield, Guyu.

“So you were out boating alone? It seems Chilsogung has nothing much to do.”

“Well, I don’t know what Assistant Cho will think, but it hasn’t been that long since others have paid attention to Chilsogung. Rather, we are used to living a leisurely life like this.”

“Hmm… … .”

The words sound plausible. Jo Yang-ak’s suspicious gaze has become dull. He himself had only recently told Chilsogung to keep an eye on him, and originally he had no interest in what he was doing.

Besides, Jang Yi-seon was originally from a wild dog family, and there was even talk of him being the pillar of the Chuisanru, so boating was… … .

“But how did you know I was here and come looking for me? I didn’t say anything to Chilsogung.”

“You’re making fun of Iso Palace. If we wanted to, it wouldn’t be that difficult.”

“They say that if you put your mind to it, there is no place that the eyes of Oryongdang cannot reach… … . I have to be careful now.”

“Don’t worry. If we both agree on something, it won’t be a problem, and it won’t be a problem. Would you like a drink?”

Jo Yang-ak smiled and held out his hand. In response, I handed him the empty glass I was going to give him earlier.

“Let’s do that.”

After greeting each other like that, the two of them exchanged drinks.

It seemed like we were able to communicate well.

“What Chilsogung wants is simple. Just that no one touches us.”

“You’re not interested in the minor cult?”

“The three kingdoms are already fighting each other to the death. What are you going to do by getting involved? I’m not interested.”

“You’re so easygoing.”

“Knowing the subject.”

Jo Yang-ak laughed heartily. Now that he looked at it, he was not someone who should be killed, but someone who should be kept alive and embraced.

Rather, I even thought that it was a good thing that the swordsmanship failed.

‘I think it would be better to go back after making peace between us.’

Even if the Black Swordsman appears, he will return after seeing me, and if he doesn’t appear, it will be over if Jang-seo returns home safely.

And when everything becomes quiet, we will open a serious space of reconciliation with Chilsogung based on today’s memories.

A smile naturally appeared on my face at the unexpected success.

“You’re a good cook.”

It was the moment when he was putting the side dish in his mouth while hiding his sinister intentions.

“hmm?”

From a distance, a small boat could be seen approaching.

It’s dark and hard to see clearly, but if you focus and concentrate your five senses, it’s not that difficult for an expert.

The image gradually became clearer.

‘Huh!’

And at the same time, Jo Yang-ak’s eyes opened wide.

‘Those guys… … !’

The old boatman and the woman in the white robe sitting behind him!

‘Hey, let’s kill the black widow!’

It was them. They were coming at us, cutting through the water like sharks in the ocean. And fast!

Jang Seo-i suddenly expressed his doubts upon seeing this.

“That’s strange. The Moonlight Lake isn’t that wide, and the path along the water is well-maintained, so there’s probably not much need to use a ferry. And isn’t the speed at which it’s coming too fast? It’s suspicious.”

Jo Yang-ak was startled and sweat profusely.

“You’re also sailing a boat! They’re probably not much different. The reason they’re fast is because they’re feeling uneasy.”

“I think it’s coming this way.”

“I’ll solve it!”

Jo Yang-ak jumped up and walked over to the railing. Then he let out a loud, deliberate cough.

The boatman, perhaps deaf, continued to row furiously.

Jang Yi-seo frowned and made a big mouth shape while looking away from the table in frustration.

‘Go back! Go back!’

One boatman was consistent. He rowed the boat excitedly without even looking up.

It was still too far to spread the word, and the closer it got the more dangerous it would be. My Adam’s apple was quivering, and beads of sweat were forming on my forehead.

“Are you still coming? Just leave him alone. He’ll figure out how to get out of the way. Let’s have a drink.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

‘These idiots!’

Jo Yang-ak looked around, muttering different words inside and out. Then, he picked up a large jug of alcohol and threw it down.

Puhwaaaaak-!

The water rose up to head height and the body swayed greatly in the waves, showing how hard the water was thrown.

“What are you doing now?”

What could it be? I’m just saving your life. Jo Yang-ak sighed in relief as he looked at the capsized boat and returned to his seat.

“I absolutely hate being interrupted during a conversation.”

“Even if it’s just a normal drink… … . You can just say it out loud.”

“You said it with words. You didn’t kill him, did you?”

Jo Yang-ak smiled with satisfaction. If it had gone this far, he would have turned back.

Then my subordinates will take care of it. Hurry up and return to Doraeok.

Then it’s all over.

Jo Yang-ak came here and raised his glass with the most peaceful expression on his face.

But at that time.

Puhwaaaaak!

“Die-!”

With the water spraying in all directions, two old women jumped up onto the railings on both sides.

A face full of freckles and a grumpy expression.

There’s no doubt about it. It’s the sword and shield twins!

“These crazy guys!”

Jo Yang-ak stood up abruptly, cursing. How could he be so clueless?

Even.

“A life-or-death move?!”

Ah. I closed my eyes tightly and placed my palm on my forehead. That stupid first dragon pretended to know me.

“What’s going on? Why are you here?”

“… …Shut up.”

“Didn’t I clearly tell you to get rid of Jang Yi-seo? But why are you, Jeol Myeong-su, here… ?”

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up!”

Jo Yang-ak grabbed the top of the statue and threw it towards the ceiling. Crunch! Then, it shattered along with the roof, and debris rained down everywhere.

When Jo Yang-ak quickly struck it with the back of his hand, the fragments flew like magic weapons and tore apart the hanging lanterns.

The pavilion darkens in an instant.

The expressions of the two swordsmen were filled with confusion, and Jang Yi-seo’s face hardened.

and.

“What on earth are you guys doing? I clearly told you to bury it in Jangho. Do you think this small lake is Jangho?!”

Jo Yang-ak finally revealed his true colors. He confessed with his own mouth that he had instigated it.

“Was it Jangho… …? Wasn’t it Wolgwangho… … ?”

“You idiots! Do you call that a lie?! This time, I will absolutely not let it go. I will hold Doraok accountable for every single thing! Do you think I can’t do it?”

Jo Yang-ak clenched his teeth as if they were going to break. But he made a slip of the tongue.

“Doraok? You want to hold Doraok responsible? Does that mean that these people are criminals from Doraok?”

At Jang Yi-seo’s sharp question, Jo Yang-ak made a face of “Oh no.” Then, his expression changed and he spoke.

“There’s nothing I can do, Jang-seo. You have to die now.”

Shh …

A murderous spirit so fierce that it makes your skin tingle.

“How ridiculous. You came here out of the blue and asked to join us. Now you want to kill me? Or are you losing your mind?”

“You would have been fish food in Jangho anyway. If only those idiots hadn’t failed.”

“But it seems like it failed.”

“Unfortunately, that’s true. It was just your luck. You’re still alive today.”

“I don’t understand. Why did you try to kill me? I never had a grudge with Isogung. Didn’t we just get along?”

Jo Yang-ak’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. That was true. Thinking back now, there was absolutely no reason to kill Jang Yi-seo.

“… … At that time, I thought you were in cahoots with the Archduke.”

“It was a misunderstanding.”

“Because a whopping 100 pieces of silver ingots flowed into you.”

“It was me who deceived the Archduke.”

“I know.”

“Do you understand? So, not only did you try to kill me because of a misunderstanding, but now that you know, instead of apologizing, you’re going to stab me in the back again?”

“That… that’s right. But since you’ve heard about Doraok, I can’t let you live.”

“Who said that?”

“……grow.”

“Are you stupid?”

“no!”

As the silence swept over him, for the first time in his life, a strange emotion of shame appeared on Jo Yang-ak’s snake-like face.

What can we do? The milk is already spilled.

“Instead, I will let you go without pain.”

“You’re crazy. Have you forgotten where you are?”

Why don’t you know? When Jo Yang-ak glances behind him, he can see the bamboo forest where Chilsogung is located and Hongye Bridge with its skyscrapers in the distance.

“Isn’t it Wolha Village?”

“Knowing that… … ?”

“Anyway, no one will know that I came here, and no one will see what happens here. Just you. You just have to disappear.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Stop wasting time. I’m not in the mood to chatter with you any longer.”

“You’ll regret it.”

Jang Yi-seo poured alcohol into his mouth and said calmly. Regret?

“Kuuuu, khahahahaha!”

Jo Yang-ak burst into laughter.

“If I regret it, it’s your son. Do you understand?”
