#Public Recruitment (1)

“If it’s a room… … are you going to tell everyone?”

“Yes. And on very special terms. I’ll bet everything I can with money.”

“yes?”

“Whether it’s a weapon, martial arts, or elixir. I’ll give it to you. Anyone can use it.”

“No, but… … .”

“Ah, I heard that if you are a current member of Oryongdang, you will be given a generous allowance just for participating.”

“Master… … .”

Chu Hongran immediately became sad because she could not figure out Jang Yiseo’s thoughts.

‘If you do this, you will only attract the attention of the Grand Duke more… … . Besides, it will also show that the master has a lot of capital.’

In short, it means that it is easier to become a target.

But why on earth?

“Instead, it is written that recruitment is done at Samsogung.”

“yes?”

“It’s unfair that we’re the only ones suffering while everyone else is involved and having a headache. And wouldn’t people come if we at least mentioned her name?”

“No… … . Can you do whatever you want like that?”

“I’m just borrowing the place and the name, so what? And I have no choice but to listen.”

Jang Yiseo raised the corners of his mouth. And when Chu Honglan saw this, his mouth opened wider and his mind became blank.

It was because his intentions were starting to become apparent little by little.

‘You’re trying to focus Cheonmugi’s gaze… on the Three Princesses first!’

Oh my god. My tongue just rolled off the tongue.

‘If this happens, the Grand Duke will have no choice but to think that the Three Princesses have planned to strike first. Then, there is only one course of action for him to take. To somehow cover up this matter, even if it means incurring great losses. The Master is trying to find an opening there… … .’

Burr. Chu Hongran’s fingertips trembled without her knowing. Then, when she looked at Jang Yiseo again, her eyes looked truly sly and sinister, as if she was wondering what he was thinking.

‘It’s a snake. It’s scary, but it’s a good snake.’

Soon, a hollow laugh escaped my lips.

“I will do that. I will put up a large number of rooms and release some funds in advance. So that people can trust me.”

“As expected, Rouge is perfect when you pretend to be someone.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“If it’s already embarrassing, let’s do one more thing. The neighboring tribes have been at war recently. Everyone is in the same situation where they have to watch out for the Demonic Cult, but among them, there are those who cannot be ignored, like the Sanwangga.”

Why is the situation in the North suddenly…?

There is no way Jang Jang-seo would have brought up something useless.

As Hongran pricked up her ears, an instruction fell from his mouth.

“Find out who has distinguished themselves in recent wars.”

“That means… … !”

“Even if we gather them here for a hundred days, they’re still the same bastards. They’re all vicious minions from the start. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just bring them from outside.”

That’s it. They’re turning their eyes towards the Three Princesses and planning to move outside.

As expected, the master is… … .

“It’s late today, so you should go now. I’ll talk to you again soon.”

“yes!”

Hongran stood up and bowed slightly. When Jang Yiseo raised his hand in response, she walked out with graceful steps.

And Jang, who was left alone, opened the window and muttered while looking at the dark night sky.

“There is no way to win an unfavorable fight. In such cases, you have no choice but to set the stage yourself.”

If you can’t read your opponent’s moves anyway, it’s better to decide on your own moves and lead them.

This is the plan that Jang I-seo came up with.

“Cheonmugi. What will you do now? Will you accept my invitation?”

It was a night when his smile, whose true intentions were completely indecipherable, spread out under the moonlight.

* * *

A few days later.

Cheonsan was in an uproar just as Jang Yi-seo had intended.

The reason for this was that there were rooms attached to all four sides, including the guest rooms and walls.

“Have you seen this? This time, the Three Princesses are gathering people, and the conditions are very good.”

“I saw it. They say that only five nyang are given to those who have reached the moon. Isn’t that a lie?”

“What are you lying about? I heard from my field marshal that all the top-class weapons have been ordered for the third princess.”

“Oh my goodness. That’s right!”

Even if you just walk around the neighborhood, there is no one you don’t know.

“Brother! Did you hear the story? That bastard Mao is building up his power?!”

“Keuheuk… … Hahahaha! If that’s possible, I’ll put my hand on your stomach.”

Majin-gu, who ran to Maga on crutches, and Mysin-do, who burst into rage upon hearing this.

“Jang Bo-jo… … Amazing!”

Maeng Hui-do was sitting on Jumaji Hill, grazing alone.

It spread like wildfire in an instant, so that no one could be unaware of it.

Of course, the village where the Ilsogung Palace where the Grand Duke Cheonmugi resided was located was no exception.

“… … Bring me the room.”

The man with his face wrapped in bandages in a black robe muttered in a cracked voice.

His name, Hwansa, seems unusual at first glance.

He was previously known by the nickname of Ghost Demon Emperor, but now his title was more familiar.

Assistant to the Japanese military.

He is the right hand man of the Grand Duke Cheonmugi.

“I brought it.”

A warrior approaches and passes a neatly folded room. A flame pattern that looks like it was engraved in blood on a black robe. It is the Black Flame Guard, a hundred black devils following the Heavenly Weapon.

“How dare you do something like this in Samso Palace… … .”

A deep light came out from the eyes of the ghost demon who was looking around the room. The believers passing by looked at him in shock.

Ssssssss!

Heukhwawi pushes the followers away with a sense of pressure, as if he is telling them to go their separate ways while wielding a wheel.

The contents of the room were so outrageous that they were ridiculous.

To summarize, it was like this.

1. Recruit one hundred Maungs from Samso Palace.

2. We will select candidates based solely on their abilities and promise to provide the best treatment.

3. If a current employee of Oryongdang participates, a riding allowance will be paid.

And one phrase written as tiny as a bean.

* However, the affiliation is Chilsogung.

Recently, it has been widely spread that the Seven Princes have been granted the seal of Baek In-jang. So what does this mean?

The story is that the three princesses and the seven princes are planning to do something together.

The ghost soldier closed the room again and strode out.

“I’m going back to the Grand Duke.”

*

A large manor painted black from the roof tiles to the walls.

Even the hallway floor, the sliding door at the end, everything is dark.

If there’s one thing that’s special about it, it’s the fireworks.

If Horongdang was a tiger, then this place was filled with flame patterns everywhere.

And there was only one place like this in the Demonic Cult.

Ilsogung Heukhwawon (Black Flame Garden).

The Ghost Army, who had just returned from the village, had to pass through seven sliding doors in a long, narrow hallway, each with a black screen waiting for them, before reaching his room.

Knock knock. As soon as the last door opened, his figure was revealed, sitting in front of the table in the center.

Long black hair and black clothing. Calm eyes that appear to be devoid of any emotion.

Even the posture of sitting and drawing an orchid is not at all disordered.

It is truly contradictory that this man enjoys poetry and calligraphy in this place where mines are plentiful, but it also strangely suits him.

Grand Duke’s Thousand Weapons.

That was it.

The ghost horseman, who was the assistant, stepped aside in front of the three treasures without saying anything and stood stiffly like a pillar.

Then I waited silently.

He moved again after Cheonmugi had finished drawing the orchid and put down his brush.

“What happened?”

A calm voice without any highs or lows. You can tell just by listening to it. He is the type of person who wouldn’t even blink an eyelash if lightning struck right in front of his nose.

This was also the case during my childhood when I was known as the best reporter of the Demonic Cult.

Unlike Mysin, who was always emotional, he was as quiet as a stone.

So there was a time when these two were referred to as fire and water.

That’s an old story.

“Samsogung Palace put this up on the school grounds.”

The ghost horse approached cautiously and handed over the room. Cheonmugi opened it and read it absentmindedly as if he was reading prose.

Rather, the ghost army watching this is feeling impatient.

Cheonmugi read it all in no time and handed it back to me, and as usual, he gave me a review without any hesitation.

“The third one has done something extraordinary. He wants to use the blessings the youngest one received for his own selfish desires.”

“This is crossing the line. I should have been suspicious from the moment I gave the Seven Princes a helping hand… … . I am sorry.”

“No. It is right to acknowledge the third child. Doesn’t it mean that he has grown up enough to even fool his brothers?”

Are you really going to let this slide? Even after seeing such a brazen act?

No, that can’t be.

The corners of the Ghost Lord’s mouth went up.

The Heavenly Weapon that he served as the Great Demon Lord of the previous generation was absolutely not that kind of person.

“Now that he’s grown up, I can’t just treat him like a reckless kid. I have no choice but to treat him accordingly.”

also.

A cold-blooded sword with ruthlessness hidden within a gentle face.

The only one who is qualified to swing the sword without being swayed by anything.

That was the Grand Duke’s Thousand Weapons.

“What should we do?”

The Ghost Demon asked in a cold tone. If he were to give the order right now, he could see his intention to just crush all of them, whether it be the Seven-Story Palace or the Three-Story Palace.

And perhaps, if he had been a wild and wild man, he might have given the order.

one.

‘Sahae-ryeong. Even if you just stayed still, I would have foolishly taken care of it. You thought about it first, which is unusual for you. Since you don’t have the strength, you’re probably trying to use everyone’s attention as a shield. Who are you? You’re not the type of kid to come up with such a cheap trick. Who helped you?’

Cheonmugi is an all-rounder equipped with both civil and military skills.

He was already carrying dozens of snakes inside him.

So much so that he could immediately tell that this scheme did not come from the mind of the Four Sea Spirits.

“If you just give me the order, I will sweep everything away within three days.”

But in the meantime, the Ghost Army reveals an ominous aura and speaks thoughtlessly.

“Hmm.”

Rather than getting angry, Hana Cheonmugi spat out a sigh as if she was worried.

It wasn’t because I was taken in by his words, but because I simply knew that he was that kind of person.

A person with a fiery temperament and a deep sense of justice whether sleeping or awake.

These are the people I don’t want to change to suit me, I just use them when I need them.

Of course, that’s why it’s always obvious where it will be used.

And that wasn’t the case this time.

This time, as public opinion was focused on them, they needed someone to step forward on their behalf.

chamberlain…….

“Thousand-War Weapons!”

Just like the infinite number of people who come running and screaming without being able to tell what’s wrong, like now.

Shh. A smile appeared on Cheonmugi’s lips.

*

Meanwhile, outside the walls of Ilsogung Palace, there were many thugs.

It’s obvious that they’re a gang, but they don’t have proper uniforms, their weapons are all random, and even their standing postures are all different and rough, making them extremely bad.

However, the atmosphere they were giving off was too strong to simply dismiss them as a bunch of thugs.

A hint of sadness in the midst of laughter.

Each and every one of them has a unique appearance that is hard to find anywhere else.

If you really want to categorize them as gangsters, it feels like they’ve gathered all the bosses from all over the country.

In a word, they are stubborn guys.

That was it.

That wasn’t necessarily wrong.

A hundred weirdos who were known as troublemakers even at Oryongdang.

It was the Baekgoedan (百怪團), a private organization of Lee Gongja.

“Thousand-War Weapons!”

And this lion-headed man who carelessly calls out the Grand Duke’s name at the top of his lungs is none other than Duke Lee.

The Emperor’s Fist was infinite.
